Chapter 145.2 - Bewitching beauty
She rubbed her forehead before shaking her head. “No need, I’ve already eaten.”
“Ah?” Lan Bai froze, eaten?
Could it be that she ate at the Night Prince’s residence?
Instantly, her good feelings towards the Night Prince skyrocketed.
After all, it was the Night Prince who was considerate, knowing that her master hadn’t eaten, and then preparing a meal for her.
As her good feelings towards him rapidly rose, who knew how she’d feel if she knew that the cost of that meal was to be the Night Prince’s cook.
As the night fell, Thousand face quickly entered the Leaning Wind Pavilion.
“What’s happening on Xiahou Qing’s side?”
“That Ye Ji went straight to the third prince’s residence but she was met with a furious third prince. They might have fought, some sort of argument happened and when Xiahou Qing left, his expression wasn’t good. But Xiahou Qing’s too vigilant so I couldn’t get any closer, I didn’t get to hear what they were talking about.”
“En, it’s fine.” Seeing Xiahou Qing angry made her feel a lot better.
“But …” Thousand Face hesitated, not knowing whether or not he should tell his master.
But he was scared that if this little tidbit was ignored, it might lead to even bigger trouble for his master.
“What?” Lou Qingwu looked at him, the light from the candle flames reflecting in her eyes.
“Inside the palace, Qiao Mei sent news that the imperial consort Ruan went to Liuhua palace late last night.”
“Consort Ying’s Liuhua palace? What did she go find consort Ying for?”
“She’s not clear about that, Qiao Mei said that they spoke in hushed tones and they cleared out all of the maidservants so it won’t be easy to find out what they said.” That imperial consort Ruan was also very paranoid, no wonder why she’s in the same camp as that third prince.
Lou Qingwu’s brows furrowed, according to logic, it shouldn’t be this coincidental.
What were the chances of something happening and then imperial consort Ruan going to consort Ying almost immediately?
Furthermore, according to Xiahou Qing’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t be the type to take a hit lying down.
There was also a Ye Ji oto.
That Ye Ji was a schemer, most likely just as sinister as Xiahou Qing.
“Let Qiao Mei continue to investigate, if she has news, report it immediately.” She really wanted to see what Xiahou Qing would do next.
“Yes! This subordinate will go now.”
After dinner, inside Liuhua palace, consort Ying very intimately and considerately poured ginseng tea for the emperor Xiahou Fengtian.
Her delicate and weak frame, almost bonelessly leaned against the emperor’s embrace as her eyes were slightly lowered.
From the emperor’s view, consort Ying looked the most beautiful like this, inviting pity with her appearance.
His hands stroked consort Ying’s soft and youthful little face, lightly laughing, “What is it? You don’t look happy.”
“It’s nothing.” Consort Ying continued to lean on him, her red lips slightly pouty, so soft and wet that if you pinched them, water would probably come out.
“And you say it’s nothing but your little face is nearly all scrunched up. Come on, tell me what it is and this emperor will let eunuch Li send it to you tomorrow.” The emperor loved her cute little coquettish act, her coy and spoilt appearance was youthful and perfect.
“What I want is something that can’t be asked for.” A teardrop clung to the corner of her eye, consort Ying was the type to cry on command.
As long as she measured it correctly, she could cry like a pear tree in the rain, pitifully and beautifully.
The emperor’s heart instantly started to hurt as he held her tightly, carefully coaxing her, “How can you cry just like that? Good Ying’er, what is it?”
“I … I’m thinking of that unfortunate child.” Consort Ying was choked up.
This time, her heart really was hurting.
The child that she’d been looking forward to for so long, she definitely wouldn’t let go of any of them who hurt her child!
The empress! Lou Qingwu! Xiahou Rui!
All of them had to die with her child!
Thinking of what imperial consort Ruan said before, consort Ying’s eyes lowered, hiding the coldness in her eyes.
As long as it could provide trouble for them, she’d happily do anything.
She used her handkerchief to dab at her eyes before looking up, her eyes filled with water like a water lily, making the emperor adore her even more.

TL note:
Qiao Mei - probably Que Mei but Qiao Mei sounds prettier (there are two ways to read the word ‘“雀”, one means ‘freckle’ and the other means ‘sparrow’ so ‘sparrow = Que’ is probably correct. Mei = eyebrow, so I’m also kinda leaning on ‘freckle eyebrow’ but ‘sparrow eyebrow’ could be right too. Servants have c.r.a.ppy names.
But I translated it as Qiao Mei before so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Anyways, she’s one of imperial consort Ruan’s maidservants. Keep this in mind.
Leave a comment and for a dumb consort xx
