TFDC Chapter 173.2




Chapter 173.2 - Thirteen close confidantes




He gripped his chest, his handsome face pale, making Lou Qingwu’s eyes redden.


“Third prince, are you okay?”


Xiahou Qing waved away her concerns.


At this time, Ye Ji had also rushed over.


Seeing the two people, her two eyes rolled around before supporting Xiahou Qing, turning to Lou Qingwu, “Qingwu little sister, we finally found you. How could your horse just get shocked like that, I was really frightened for you!”


Lou Qingwu shook her head, looking worriedly at Xiahou Qing.


Xiahou Qing then looked at her, smiling warmly, “I’m fine. You should hurry and head back.”


“Yes, master, let’s head back.” Lan Bai persuaded her too.


Lou Qingwu then reluctantly bid farewell and got on the Lou family’s carriage.


The carriage headed back towards the Lou residence.


When she couldn’t see Xiahou Qing any more, Lan Bai finally worriedly spoke, “Master, it was too dangerous just then. How could the horse just suddenly go into shock like that? I was scared to death. Luckily, nothing happened!”


Lou Qingwu took the handkerchief that Lan Bai passed to her, slowly wiping her hands clean.


When she finally felt like she’d finally gotten the disgusting remnants of Xiahou Qing off her hands, from when he touched her, she slowly spoke.


“It wasn’t an accident. It was definitely planned by Xiahou Qing.”

“Ah? How could he? His carriage was behind ours too?”


“In this world, there’s nothing that’s impossible.” If even she could reincarnate, how could he not have a method to shock a few horses?


Furthermore, he had Ye Ji by his side.


“That third prince is too much!” Lan Bai was furious, “Master, why would he do that?”


“To gain my pity.” It wasn’t enough last time, so how could he give up?


“Furthermore, Qiao Mei’s affair has made him suspicious so he wanted to test me.”

“Test?” Lan Bai didn’t understand.


“He was nearly assassinated two days ago. What do you think about that?” Lou Qingwu reclined backward, languidly speaking.


Lou Qingwu watched her.


“I heard he was injured pretty seriously. And didn’t he say that the assassins had poison on their swords? This time, the third prince will definitely suffer a major drawback.”


“No, not only did he not, he’ll live even better than before.”


“Ah?” Lan Bai didn’t understand.


For these past two days, she’d been heading over to the third prince’s residence every day.


So she was sure about the third prince’s circumstances and injury, it definitely didn’t look fake.


“But I think it looks real and serious. Furthermore, the third prince’s residence doesn’t look that safe, if an assassin really did get in, I’d believe it.”


Lou Qingwu turned away, “... That’s because you don’t know about his secret confidantes.”

She slowly raised a curtain to look at the slowly darkening sky.


She continued, “He has thirteen close confidantes. Every single one of them are planted in different areas, in the military, in the justice department, the barracks, in court. Those places are filled with his spies. He’s used so many years to raise them all up, it’s grown into a huge network of people. Furthermore, they’re all people from different backgrounds, helping him raise the absolute elite, assassins, secret guards, etc. The third prince’s residence looks ordinary but there are at least a hundred secret guards. All of them can go against a hundred men. Lan Bai, do you think that someone like that could let them get hurt, that easily?”


Lan Bai’s face paled, “How could that be …”


“He’s a lot more sly than you think. He really is injured, but it’s definitely nowhere near as serious as he claims it to be. He just wanted to use his injury to see which side I’d be on. Furthermore, if I don’t choose his side, his next step would probably be to kill me.”

  2. TL did you know that your beautiful plant grows fruit that is edible. But be careful if you have pets the plant is poisonous. Only the fruit is safe, like potatoes.

    At least Qingwu is remembers that this prince is really a beast that is capable of striking at a moments notice.She's aware that the wound is not what he says it is.

    1. I didn't know that!! The fruit looks so cool but my plant is just a baby indoor plant so it won't be bearing fruit any time soon šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
