Chapter 222.2 - Choosing who to marry

He just … maybe, he’d overestimated his importance in her heart, as he listened to her behind his back.

“This subject girl … chooses the third prince.”

Lou Qingwu’s words fell as the light in Feng Yege’s eyes immediately died.

His mind seemed to have completely collapsed.

He slowly turned around, his cold eyes looking dazedly at the girl who had her eyes lowered.

His eyes were deep, “Look at me and tell me, who you want to choose.”

Maybe Feng Yege’s voice was too bleak and filled with despair, or maybe their atmosphere was too strange, but Xiahou Qing who had just released a breath, suddenly grew anxious again.

He also slowly stood up, to look at Lou Qingwu.

Lou Qingwu still had her head lowered, her hands tightly gripped into fists.

After a long time, she slowly released a breath and looked up at him.

The darkness in Feng Yege’s eyes made her heart feel as if someone had scooped out a chunk of her heart out.

She suddenly thought of three years ago, when she had only just arrived to the countryside.

She knew that she’d meet Feng Yege so she calculated it all well.

She’d try her best to make him like her, to be close to her.

So that he’d bring her to the Medicine King’s valley.

At that time, she stubbornly gave up on learning medicine from him, and chose to learn poison instead.

At the Medicine King’s valley, he was always too mysterious.

He’d close himself up and disappear for periods at a time.

At that time, she thought it was strange but when she found out that he was the Night Prince, she finally understood.

He was worried that if she got too close, she’d recognise him to be the Night Prince.

At that time, he didn’t know that she was using him, using his medical skills, using the Medicine King’s valley’s resources to help her take revenge.

But in those three years, even if she didn’t see him many times, it was still three years of her life.

She’d calculated it all well but she didn’t think that … somehow she let her heart go.

The softness in Lou Qingwu’s heart flashed in her eyes as Feng Yege suddenly saw another glimpse of hope.

“Night Prince, I choose … the third prince.”

After Lou Qingwu finished speaking, she felt her heart was empty.

Especially when she saw Feng Yege’s eyes suddenly blank.

She suddenly wanted to turn around and leave, leave this place and this atmosphere.

Senior brother, why did he have to keep harming himself?

Her words were like a double edged sword, it’d hurt him but also her.

But when she thought of that child she had no fate with, just thinking of when she died with her eyes open and how her fingertips touched that small piece of coldness … she couldn’t.

“Okay, okay, today’s a day of double happiness.” The emperor also noticed that the atmosphere was getting strange.

His eyes fell on Feng Yege and it wasn’t known what he thought of, but his eyes suddenly grew cold.

But in the end, he hid the coldness and continued to speak, “As Qingwu, this child, has already made her choice and this emperor isn’t that traditional of a man, I’ll make them a couple. But, it’s just a pity. I originally wanted the third prince to marry the third princess, I don’t know if the third princess has a prince that she would like to marry?”

Xiliang Feiyue’s eyes had fallen on Lou Qingwu and Feng Yege some time ago, and not knowing what she thought, her lips slowly curved upwards.

But she lowered her head, slowly standing up and bowing to the emperor.

Her low and seductive voice rang out, making people’s bones weaken, “Feiyue is willing to marry the third prince.”

Xiliang Feiyue’s words rang out and everyone grew silent again.

Everyone felt like their hearts were a bit weak from all the sudden attacks.

They could only look dazedly at Xiliang Feiyue, Lou Qingwu and Xiahou Qing.

Would she choose again?

No, because then Xiliang Feiyue said something else again that made everyone’s eyes light up as they turned to Xiahou Qing, “Feiyue is willing to share a husband with Miss Lou.”

TL note:  

Xiliang Feiyue is a closet romantic.
