Chapter 84.2 - Wanting to kill her
Sponsored chapter thanks to Dillycat đđ (2/2)

The empress laughed coldly inside.
She was afraid that he hadnât changed, but had always been like this and that in all of these years, itâd just been a facade.
In a place where she couldnât see, heâd been slowly concealing himself and building up his strength.
That was the only way he could suddenly gain the emperorâs mighty approval in a fell swoop that year, in a way that stole all of the other princesâ limelight.
Xiahou Qing acted as if he didnât notice that there was already an awkward silence between the two, because after all, they werenât truly mother and son.
âYes, mother-empress.â
The whole scene had changed because of Xiahou Qingâs sudden appearance.
The empress had originally thought that this could allow for consort Ying to let go of Qingwu but before she could open her mouth and speak, consort Ying seemed to have sensed what she was about to say.
She snatched to speak first, âIt seems like big sisterâs place is even rowdier than normal. This Lou familyâs ⊠Lou Qingwu, right? Shouldnât you start? Or do you want to against my edict? Or you donât have the courage to drink it?â
Lou Qingwuâs eyes were still lowered and just as consort Ying was about to lose her patience, slowly lifted up her head, âI wouldnât dare.â
âOh? Then hurry up. Let me see what this godly doctor can do, this so called godly doctor that can even differentiate this âno sons grassâ.â
âOh? Then hurry up. Let me see what this godly doctor can do, this so called godly doctor that can even differentiate this âno sons grassâ.â
The three words âno sons grassâ were bitten strongly, as if she only hated that she couldnât use those three words to swallow Lou Qingwu whole.
â....â Lou Qingwuâs eyes were cold.
She suddenly realised why this consort Ying, who she had no relations and no feuds with, would suddenly come here to make trouble for her.
She was afraid that in these few days, when they hadnât noticed, that someone had retold that dayâs events and added a lot of details to turn the truth around.
To the point where this consort Ying believed that she had made this consort Ying lose her child, that it was a ploy by the empress and her.
Finally thinking it through, Lou Qingwu calmed down.
She stepped forward to face the three cups of wine, very solemnly picking a cup up to carefully sniff at it.
She thought for a moment before looking towards consort Ying, âCan I use a silver needle?â
Consort Ying coldly laughed, replying to her question with another question, âOh? This eldest Miss Louâs so talented, a godly doctor even, and you need to use a silver needle? But arenât you so much better than the palaceâs imperial doctors? If you use a silver needle, then you wonât be able to show off your medical prowess.â
Lou Qingwu: â...........â
Lou Qingwu: â...........â
To be able to not use a silver needle and see the effect of the poison was something even her senior brother couldnât do, alright?
Furthermore, she was just a mere mortal that had only been learning about poisons for three years.
She wasnât some immortal, to be able to use her eyes to see what type of poison it was, and how much there was.
So even though she knew that consort Ying was purposely making things hard for her, as a small little officialâs daughter, she couldnât refuse.
But âŠ. this didnât mean she didnât have her own ways.
When the empress heard consort Yingâs words, she unhappily furrowed her brows, âConsort Ying, sheâs just a small girl. Arenât you acting a bit too inappropriately?â
Consort Ying used a handkerchief to dab at her forehead, âBig sister, Iâm trying to help her. With all of these princes here, with her display, wouldnât it be a good thing if one of the princes looked upon her because of her medical skills?â
The empress laughed coldly inside, was she trying to help her or trying to kill her?
But knowing what was going on and actually being able to publicly go against consort Ying, were two different things.
Because of consort Yingâs miscarriage, the emperor doted on her even more, pitied her even more.
On the other hand,he treated his empress even more coldly, even more indifferently.
At times, even âŠ.
But she couldnât just not do nothing to help Lou Qingwu.
She worriedly gripped her silken handkerchief, wondering how to help consort Ying let go of Qingwu.
Just at that time, a clear voice rang out, âOnce Miss Lou decides which cup of wine is not poisonous, this prince will drink it for her.

ReplyDeleteFortune teller, tell me the winning lottery tickets for tomorrow too đđ
DeleteThank you for the chapter~
ReplyDeleteXiahou Rui seems the most likely~
ReplyDeleteDon't think Xiahou Qing would bet everything on a girl he doesn't know yet though with his knowledge of the banquet already. ... Hmm....
*shrugs* Going to stick with Rui, but I wouldn't be surprised it if was Qing.
You underestimate how hot LQW is đ€đ€
Delete(but it is XHR, why didn't anyone guess FY đđ)
Because we all know he's the ML only in name ;D
DeleteRIP FY, We'd be sad for you except we'd need to remember you first. ;D
FY will appear more in the future (far, far future) đđ
DeleteADFDadsfFdghjkljhtvgb SCREAMS
ReplyDeleteSame đđ
DeleteThank you! Wonder which prince spoke up?
ReplyDeleteMy sweet, sweet XHR đ
DeleteI wish it's him too.
DeleteYour wish is his command đđ
DeleteLet me guess it would be nice if it is ML but as we all know his screen time is really really really limited and the probability of it being him is extremely low. So just for fun I want to bet that it is the Seventh Prince XD
ReplyDeleteImagine if it was the ML đđ
