Chapter 85.2 - Poisonous intentions
Lou Qingwu watched as consort Ning’s facial expression rapidly changed.
She lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes.
How could she not think of what she wanted?
Even though consort Ning said that this could take her life, but if she truly died or was poisoned, how could this consort Ning get away that easily?
So for the sake of self protection, firstly, she wouldn’t let her die.
To not let her die, that would mean … the wine had no poison.
Lou Qingwu placed the cups back on the tray and the palace maid who held the tray, had a strange expression on her face.
She turned around to look uneasily at consort Ning, as the latter shot a cold look at her.
The palace maid trembled as she stood behind her.
Consort Ning then let out a laugh, ‘This Lou family’s eldest miss is truly intelligent, to know that I was just having a joke with her.”
Everyone: “........”
They all lowered their eyes, whether they believed her or not was a completely different matter.
The empress looked at consort ning and then at Lou Qingwu and Xiahou Rui who were standing below the stage.
She finally realised consort Ning’s intentions as her face darkened.
But she couldn’t lash out so she could only laugh coldly, “Little sister’s really smart. Originally, I thought little sister was innocent and naive. Who knew that you’d be able to come up with such an ingenious joke, you’ve really … broadened my horizons.”
Her words were light, but the mocking and contempt in them, was strong.
Consort Ning just smiled but didn’t speak, her hatred towards Lou Qingwu only growing stronger.
The empress was also angrily gritting her teeth.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Qingwu, that child, was quick thinking, she really didn’t know what Rui’er and her would do.
If at that time, something happened, or if that consort Ning decided to “faint from anger”, don’t even mention if this rose hibiscus festival might or might not proceed, she was worried that even Rui’er would get a scolding from the emperor and might even be imprisoned.
If something like that happened, at this crucial time, she really didn’t want to think about the end result.
So even though she clearly understood, she still couldn’t do anything to this woman.
She forcefully pressed down the uncomfortableness in her heart.
She looked at the people below the stage, the rose hibiscus flowers blooming around, they were blooming beautifully.
But she didn’t want to look at them for a second longer.
She only felt like her head was hurting, because she couldn’t let consort Ning just get away with it just like that.
She sorted out her emotions before speaking, “As little sister’s already done her test, then Qingwu is truly a talent. Then we’ll continue with what I was saying. Whoever is the most talented, will receive this prize.”
The empress finished speaking before turning to look at consort Ning, “Little sister shouldn’t have a problem with that, right?”
