Pei Qin glanced at the roof... The roof was too high, and she coughed softly, "This one and this batch of bullets can go to the Emperor!"
"I see you seem reluctant to part with them!" Emperor Chu Wen's eyes flickered with satisfaction.
"Not at all! Both can be given to the Emperor!" Pei Qin gritted her teeth.
Emperor Chu Wen smiled and graciously said, "With your modest skills, you should keep one for self-defense!"
"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Emperor!" Pei Qin eagerly took one and secretly pocketed the bullets as well. Damn it! Having to be grateful for keeping her own things!
"You may leave. Follow me to the early court tomorrow!" Emperor Chu Wen took the handgun and let her off.
Pei Qin hastily complied and withdrew.
Before she reached the door, Emperor Chu Wen added, "Tonight, think carefully about the Crown Prince's candidates, as I will ask you at the early court tomorrow!"
Pei Qin tripped over the threshold and fell flat on her face in a dog-eating-dirt fashion.
