Chapter 92 I'm here!
[Let's rewind to a dozen minutes earlier, in the laboratory with the emerald scepter—]
In other words, if Her Majesty the Queen does not agree... then the chief eunuch will not be able to get the flower cards!
"Hehehe..."
Seeing Qingluan's malicious smile, the emerald scepter couldn't help but bend down and approach Qingluan.
"Commander, what wicked plan are you plotting with that sinister look on your face?"
Qingluan quickly suppressed her smile and coughed twice, "Ahem...it's nothing. I just wanted to ask how I can see Her Majesty the Queen?"
"???"
The emerald scepter frowned slightly, as if it had sensed some of Qingluan's plans.
"I suggest you don't cause trouble in front of Her Majesty the Queen."
"Can't I, an ordinary magical girl, even have an audience with Her Majesty the Queen?" Qingluan asked without changing her expression. "Besides Her Majesty summoning me, what are some other regular ways to see her?"
The emerald scepter looked at the Azure Phoenix and sighed helplessly: "There are only two conventional methods..."
"What method?"
"The first method is more difficult. If you can climb step by step to the top of power in the kingdom and successfully become the 'Supreme Scepter,' then Her Majesty the Queen will personally crown you and grant you authority. At that time, you will naturally be able to speak with her face to face."
"..."
Qingluan lowered her eyelids.
"That's impossible for me, isn't it? Isn't there a more normal way?"
"Yes, the second method is indeed simpler. That is, the Supreme Scepter can proactively submit an application to the Royal Court and then meet with the Queen."
After hearing this, Qingluan was speechless: "...So in the end, isn't it all about obtaining the Supreme Scepter? Is meeting the Queen really this complicated?"
"Do you think Her Majesty the Queen is someone she can meet with just anyone?"
The emerald scepter looked at Qingluan with disdain. "Her Majesty is the symbol of the magical kingdom! How could just any Tom, Dick, or Harry come and meet her!"
"Isn't there a way for ordinary magical girls to meet?" Qingluan pressed on, unwilling to give up. "There must be some kind of application process or something, right?"
"Yes, there is... Ordinary magical girls can have the current Supreme Scepter submit their requests for an audience on their behalf."
But before she could finish speaking, the emerald scepter stretched out its right hand: "Let's make this clear first, don't even think about getting involved with me! I absolutely will not help you write a meeting request!"
"...Why?" Qingluan was naturally somewhat unwilling after being rejected by the emerald scepter.
"Because I always felt that you had some strange plans... When you meet Her Majesty the Queen, you're sure to say something surprising."
The emerald scepter stretched out a finger and poked the phoenix's puffed-up cheek.
"More importantly, consider your own identity! You are essentially the nation's number one traitor. For safety's sake, I absolutely cannot allow you to meet Her Majesty the Queen!"
Qingluan scoffed at the fingers that were poking her face, saying dismissively, "What? With my current pathetic strength, you think I can threaten the Queen's safety?"
"I'm not talking about Her Majesty's safety! I'm talking about your safety! You idiot!"
The emerald scepter glared at the Azure Phoenix. "I assured you, the physical modification could fool everyone. Even other supreme scepters wouldn't be able to detect anything wrong..."
"But it's not necessarily the same for Her Majesty the Queen! She is the source of all magical girls' power, so no matter how perfect your body is, once you accept the Seed of the Heart, you are already a magical girl. Therefore, your magical potential is completely open to Her Majesty the Queen."
"To be honest, if you showed up in front of her, there's a high chance she'd notice something's wrong!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Qingluan broke out in a cold sweat.
Forget it, I'd better not go and get myself killed. Besides, what if the Queen finds out I'm a traitor, and that I was brought to the kingdom by the Grand Eunuch... that might implicate her, right?
If she gets locked up because of this, the novel will really be abandoned. How will I face my other readers then?
It's highly unlikely that you'll be able to break through with the Queen.
Now that things have come to this... we can only try to get the Azure Scepter to give up the idea of nominating the Crescent Moon!
In the morning, the head eunuch said that she was going to report to the royal court today... It's highly likely that the Azure Scepter has already met with her. I must find a way to explain the situation to the Azure Scepter!
Having figured this out, Qingluan raised her head and looked at the emerald scepter with utmost seriousness.
"...Zhang Menglin, could you let me speak with the Azure Scepter?"
The emerald scepter frowned slightly. "Why are you talking to her? I'm warning you, she won't be as easy to talk to as I am to you... You're not going to cause trouble again, are you?"
"...What bad intentions could I possibly have?"
"My lord, please don't put me in such a difficult position. Azure is currently handling important matters at the royal court, so it's not really appropriate to approach her right now." The Emerald Scepter said, yawning as if it hadn't taken Azure Phoenix's request to heart at all.
Qingluan gritted her teeth. She knew very well that this guy, who was practically the epitome of "shamelessness," needed to be given a little something in return.
So... what do I have left that can satisfy this guy right now?
...Then all that's left is "dignity."
The situation is urgent! The Grand Eunuch will soon receive the flower tokens, and the novel is about to become an "episode update"—time is of the essence!
At times like this, dignity... doesn't matter anymore!
This perverted magical girl, since she's always treated me like her "daughter"... well, I'll grant your wish!
So, Qingluan walked to the emerald scepter, her eyelids drooping, and uttered a few words in a humiliating whisper—
"Please...please, Mom."
"—Huh?!"
The emerald scepter's eyes widened, and she stared blankly for almost three seconds before quickly revealing a smug, infuriating expression. She bent down and leaned close to Qingluan:
"I didn't hear you clearly just now~~~ What did the Commander call me?!"
"..."
Qingluan's face flushed instantly, overwhelmed with shame. But since the words were already out, she decided to just go all out and see what happened—
She grabbed the hem of the emerald green scepter and white coat, closed her eyes tightly, and cried out, "...Mom! Help me! Is this alright?"
"Hehehehehehe..." The emerald scepter pulled the petite Qingluan into its arms and rubbed its face against Qingluan's cute cheek.
"Mommy will definitely grant my daughter's request!"
Faced with the favor bestowed upon her by the emerald scepter, Qingluan could only accept it with a sense of despair.
