Chapter 157: The Royal Throne -1
Getting out of the room, Qin Cheng was greeted by another Princess, named Qin Ni Ni,
" Greeting! It seems Princess Qin Ni Ni has some work with me, " Qing Cheng uttered while she smiled a little.
" Uhmm! I have a favor to ask of you, " Princess Ni Ni uttered while she looked at her smile.
" Ooh! " hearing this, the curved lips of Qin Cheng turned into a warm smile while she looked straight into Ni Ni's eyes.
Tapping her shoulder, Princess Qin Cheng uttered, " Please come inside, think of it as your own room, "
Seeing Qin Cheng's smile, Ni Ni's Heart melted while she nodded her head.
Entering the room, they both sat in the chair in a ladylike manner while Qin Cheng poured the herbal tea.
" Ahem* Ahem* may I know, what favor Princess Ni Ni, needs of me, if it's in my capabilities, I will definitely help you, " she said while she poured the tea with her gentle voice.
Hearing her soft voice, Ni Ni momentarily forgot why she had come here,
Shaking her head, she gently grabbed the tea cup while looking at Qin Cheng, " Ahem* Ahem* as you know, Prince Qin Tian is currently having a hard time so, I thought of joining his faction, "
Hearing Ni Ni's words, Qin Cheng nodded while her face showed no indifference, she slightly took a sip of the tea and looked at Ni Ni.
' I see, there is already someone to look after me, Empress sure is cunning and sharp however, the spy she sent isn't, ' Qin Cheng thought while she sipped the tea.
" Ooh! You want to help the crown prince ascend the throne, that's very nice of you, but, may I ask, why did you suddenly change sides? I mean the competitor for the throne is your brother, " while saying that, Qing Cheng leaned closer and looked straight at Ni Ni's eyes with her cold eyes.
Gulp!
Suddenly, Ni Ni felt intense pressure surging across her body, it felt like she was in front of a venomous snake that could kill her at any moment.
' Wh-What is this?... This isn't the Qin Cheng I know, wasn't she just an ordinary girl who followed Qin Tain, why does it feel like she had seen right through me? I feel chills just sitting next to her,'
" Ah-Haha! As you know, I am not on good terms with my brother... And, I don't think he is a good candidate for the throne, " She laughed while her eyes slightly closed before she uttered those words.
" Ooh! Not on good terms, if I recall correctly, Your brother had recently gifted you a blood jade of ancient era, if you aren't on good terms then you won't need his affetion and gifts correct? " saying that, her eyes went to the red bracelet Ni Ni was wearing which seems to be made out of blood jade.
" Haha! Of course not, why would I need his gift... I was about to throw them in the trash, " she said while taking off the bracelet.
However, her face was slightly twitching and her forehead began to sweat. She clearly didn't want to take them off, not to mention thrown them.
" Ooh! You wanted to throw them in the trash? Since, they are so precious, how about giving them to me after all, you don't like them... However, even if you don't wasn't to give me it's fine, " Qin Cheng said while her warm smile turned into a slight smile of greetings.
Seeing this, Ni Ni didn't understand what to do, she was told to spy on Qin Cheng by the empress but, she couldn't even seem to get along.
Huff!
Taking a deep breath, she took off the bracelets from both hands and handed them to Qin Cheng, " No! No! You can have them, think of it as a present from me... It would be a waste if I throw them in the trash, I believe it would be useful to you, "
With a smirk that was visible for only a short moment, Qin Cheng accepted the blood jade that was enchanted with an offensive and defensive array.
" Wow! That's a great item you have received, it has a powerful defensive array and offensive array however those arrays aren't complete, if you can complete them, their rank will be higher than emperor rank... You are lucky because I know a method of completing it, " Xin Rui's voice sounded in Qin Cheng's ears.
----
" Thank you for such a precious treasure, Alas, I can't gift anything to you as I have nothing in my possession, hope I won't offend Princess Ni Ni with my rudeness, and inability of returning a gift, " Qin Cheng mumbled while lowering her head.
Seeing this, Ni Ni gritted her teeth in frustration, she just lost a precious treasure with an offensive and defensive array for nothing.
However, she maintained her composure and didn't speak much about it, " Princess Qin Cheng is too polite, of course, I won't require a gift from you, I mean, I came without a notice so, the fault lies within me, however, you can think of them as my blessing for joining your faction, "
She said with a heavy heart,
Her heart was in pain to lose such a precious jade bracelet but she reassured her mind saying it would all be worth it, as long as her brother ascended the throne, what more does she need?
For now, all she has to do is spy on Qin Tian and his movement, after all, he has recently obtained the inheritance of the immortal.
" That bastard Qin Tian, why does heaven favor him, how can he obtain the inheritance of immortal when he was about to be demoted from crown Prince to a prince, "
Looking at her shrunk pupil, Qin Cheng understood, that Ni Ni was thinking something and she knew exactly what Ni Ni was thinking.
' She must be here because Qin Tian recently obtained the inheritance of the immortal, sigh! Words do travel fast, ' Qin Cheng said in her mind as she could read through Ni Ni as if she were reading a book.
