Chương 560: A Deal 8

The news from the palace instructed her to head over immediately and considering that the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was waiting at the door, Qi Qingyao knew that if she were to leave this time, she would likely be in trouble. Just as she was walking toward the door, a steward trotted over and asked for her to wait a while. Qi Qingyao was confused but after a while, she saw Li Ruoxuan coming from the house, taking large strides toward the gate. He said indifferently, "I'll accompany you into the palace."

Feigning indifference, Qi Qingyao asked, "Is there a need for that?" 

Li Ruoxuan responded with a question, "Is there not?"

Qi Qingyao knew that if she were to try posturing even more, the man would likely immediately withdraw his offer. She quickly bowed down and replied, "There is, there is."
