Chapter 157.1 - Wanting to confess

“If I could, I would.” He narrowed his eyes as Xiahou Qing laughed at her coldly.

“At least she’s a lot more intelligent than you think she is.” And a lot more complicated too.

But he had confidence that given the opportunity, he’d definitely be able to get her.

As long he had the support of her smarts and schemes, he’d definitely be able to get the throne.

He just didn’t know if she was Xiahou Rui’s person right now.

But the way that she heartlessly rejected Xiahou Rui at the hibiscus festival made him think otherwise.

It was just that every single accident made him cautious, he felt the need to carefully investigate first.

“You ---” Being triggered by Xiahou Qing,Ye Ji’s heart wasn’t comfortable.

But thinking about how she still had to rely on him, she could only swallow this anger down.

“But even if it isn’t Lou Qingwu, it doesn’t have to be Xiahou Rui. If he’d already planted people inside Liuhua palace, then how did he let us easily frame the empress by sneaking a voodoo doll underneath consort Ying’s bed?”

“But didn’t that fail in the end? How can you be so sure that it wasn’t just a play by Xiahou Rui? Ye Ji, you have to know, that in this place, everyone is not as they seem. No one is simple here.”

Ye Ji froze but she didn’t want Lou Qingwu to just jump away that easily.

It’s just that … she could only let it go today.

“Then what are you going to do afterwards?”

“Test her heart to see what she thinks.” He’d weighed this up considerably.

Seeing as how Lou Qingwu hadn’t become a palace consort, then he definitely wouldn’t let her become Xiahou Rui’s woman.

Otherwise, it’d be like adding another enemy to his list.

So he had to see how much Lou Qingwu liked him.

As long as it was more than 30%, he could begin his plan.

The empress kept Lou Qingwu and Feng Yege until late.

When they exited the Vermilion Bird Gate, there were two carriages waiting outside.

In the first carriage, Feng s.h.i.+yi stood in all black as he watched and waited for them.

When he saw them, he immediately jumped down and strode towards Feng Yege, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng worry.

When Feng Yege swept a calm look at him, he immediately stopped in his tracks, lowering his head and retreated backwards.

Lou Qingwu was still trying to think things through so she didn’t see Feng s.h.i.+yi’s strange reaction.

When she reached the carriage, she then froze before looking around, not seeing the Lou residence’s carriage.

“This subordinate let the Lou residence’s housekeeper first leave.” Feng s.h.i.+yi hurriedly explained.

Lou Qingwu being t.i.tled a ‘countess’ had already spread to the Lou residence and Lou Qufeng immediately dispatched his housekeeper to escort Lou Qingwu back.

But he waited for ages and still didn’t Lou Qingwu leave.

Feng s.h.i.+yi thought about how his master would definitely want to spend more time with her so he sent the housekeeper back first.

Lou Qingwu hummed an agreement before turning to look at Feng Yege.

“Right now, there’s no other way. I’ll send you back?” Laughter quickly flashed in Feng Yege’s eyes as he looked approvingly at Feng s.h.i.+yi.

Feng s.h.i.+yi silently pat his chest: As a qualified subordinate, he had to first understand his master’s aim, cough, cough, that is, of course, Lou Qingwu.

“Okay.” Lou Qingwu watched the two people’s silent exchange but she didn’t expose them.

She just looked to the side as she bent at her waist to hop on the carriage.

Feng Yege quickly followed her inside.

Lan Bai also wanted to hop up but Feng s.h.i.+yi quickly let down the curtain and covered her mouth with his hand.

As she struggled against him, he used a small voice to mutter, “Right now, it’s hard enough that my master managed to catch an opportunity to meet with Miss Lou privately, okay. What are you trying to get in on? Sit in the carriage at the back!”

“Mmmm …. Mmmm!” Lan Bai couldn’t speak so she could brandish her arms around.

Feng s.h.i.+yi saw that she probably understood so he let go.

Then he warned her one last time, “Don’t go screaming around.”

Then he let go.

Once she was let go, Lan Bai slapped his face.

But Feng s.h.i.+yi was alert and grabbed her wrist, “Hey, woman, really!”
