h.e.l.lo Everyone! So Happy New Year again from me, just in case you donât read âThe End Of The Worldâs Poisonous Mom And Monster Babyâ (WHICH YOU SHOULD) and did not see my new year greetings. Just wanted to let you guys know that since the holidays are over, I am back to working full time and am also taking three courses. Thus, itâs going to be a full load! Since this is the case, releases will most likely be as set on the schedule and be once a week. However, I will still do sponsored chapters, etc.
Next thing to mention is please hit subscribe on the bottom of the page to get email notifications of new chapter releases on this website! I have changed from using the one from jetpack since it wasnât working as intended.
Finally, since this is the start of the month, go hit up my Patreon to get early releases for the entire month!
A night of tossing from side to side, Feng Tingye practiced what he preached and demonstrated to Xia Yuqing what it really meant for a gentleman to not go back on oneâs words. The whole night was like a potsticker getting tossed and turned continuously, only when it was very late into the night, then did it finally become silent, so she was able to lie down and tearfully fall asleep.
Right before she lost the last little bit of her consciousness, within Xia Yuqingâs mind was just one thought: I canât possibly continue withstanding these days! This old woman has to leave the palace!
As darkness fell and enshrouded the whole world, a dim light from the gentle moonlight seeped in through the window. Dense smoke filled the air within, with a tinge of mysteriousness.
Feng Tingye was gently caressing the blue b.u.t.terfly birthmark on Xia Yuqingâs smooth shoulders with a gloomy face that was difficult to read.
Suddenly, from outside the palace hall came a quiet knock on the door. His pupils narrowed, At this hour, were it not for an urgent matter, they certainly would not send people to bother me. Is it possible thatâŚ
Slowly standing up and putting on his clothes, before he departed he didnât forget to help tuck the quilt back in for the deeply sleeping person. Gazing at her serene face sleeping, completely opposite of her usual childish immature nature, Feng Tingye couldnât help but lift the corners of his mouth and smile. Then turned around and left.
âWhatâs the matter?â Right when he left the palace hall, Feng Tingyeâs tender smile swiftly converted to his usual cold, detached expression he had in front of his civil and military officials.
âInforming Master, the Grand Tutorâs residence has met with a mishap.â
Feng Tingye arched his eyebrows. The obscure guard hurried over and leaned close to Feng Tingyeâs ear muttering a few sentences.
His complexion heavily fell. A short moment after, his lips lifted up in a sneer. âFinally couldnât hold back that temper, huh?â
Crashââ A sharp sound broke the midnight tranquility. Within Rui w.a.n.g Feiâs [Prince Ruiâs wife] chamber, lying down on Gui Feiâs [Gui Fei = senior concubine; imperial consort; basically Prince Ruiâs wifeâs chair] chair, neck somewhat tilted to one side, the manâs face was red through and through. Glaring with his tenacious tiger eyes at the delicate maiden in front of him, he was practically spouting out fire.
âThis is your so called strategy? Isnât it good now? All those people that were helping you have now landed in Yan Ran, that b.a.s.t.a.r.dâs hands. As long as they slightly loosen their mouths, perhaps early tomorrow morning, Your Majestyâs imperial army will be able to come to this royalâs mansion door and cause everyone at this royalâs mansion to be eliminated in one swoop. All the scheming done these past few years, wouldnât it all have been a waste of time? Is that the sincerity from Xue Country? To dispatch some useless people to harm this kingâs plans, are you guys here to help this king or are you helping Feng Tingye that b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Useless, you guys are all f.u.c.king useless!â
Jiang Zhaorou seamlessly dodged to the side to avoid the object that Prince Rui hurled over. Usually with eyes that felt like they were as deep as a reservoir of water, a wisp of a cold and gloomy light shone out. âw.a.n.g Ye [w.a.n.g Ye = prince; marquis; n.o.bleman] you donât have to worry about these matters. This matter is not as bad as w.a.n.g Ye imagined. The people dispatched by Xue Country are all specially trained death soldiers. Being captured is probably just a careless mistake, I trust they will be able to think of a method to escape. Even if they werenât able to, with the practices of a death warrior, even if they were to die they will definitely not leak out anything about w.a.n.g Yeâs matters. Letâs not forget that in this world there is nothing more reliable than the silence of a dead person.â
Having heard that, Prince Rui who looked distracted, had a moment of hesitation, dissipating the anger flaring from his eyes. âAll those people were really death warriors?
Jiang Zhaorou laughed: âw.a.n.g Ye, we could be considered to be in it together, for better or for worse, in the same boat. If your boat was to be overturned, I wouldnât be in any better shape. So why would I lie to you? Being in our line of work, you should know that if it wasnât for adding that blood to the tip of the sword that day, if even that bit of realization went over our heads, those people wouldnât have felt rea.s.sured to send us over here to do this strenuous and unrewarding task?â
Prince Ruiâs complexion started to clear up a bit, seeing that Jiang Zhaorouâs gaze wasnât like the beginning where she looked unwell. ââThis royal naturally trusts you, that those people wouldnât sell us out. In that case, what news did your distinguished countryâs emperor tell you to bring back?â
Jiang Zhourou watched as Prince Ruiâs complexion, similar to the weather, irregularly fluctuating, a streak of loathing appeared on the surface of her face but quickly retreated into a sweet smile. âMy countryâs emperor has already dispatched several tens of thousands of elite troops to secretly proceed towards the southwest border. When Prince Ruiâs side is ripe, then we could coordinate outside and inside offensives. Then we will strike at Ye Countryâs emperor while they are unprepared. When that time comes, Xue Country will a.s.sist w.a.n.g Ye in seizing the throne. Just donât forget what you have promised to Xue Country.â
âNaturally, this royal is one who would do what he says. As long as Xue Country a.s.sists this royal in obtaining the t.i.tle of emperor, the promise of giving that thing to Xue Country will definitely be fulfilled. Not even a single part of the deal will be missing.â
âIf thats the case, w.a.n.g Ye please wait until the time is ripe and then make the call.â
âWait until this royalâs health is a bit better, then Iâll immediately a.s.semble the troops. At that time besides taking that baby boyâs emperor t.i.tle, this royal will also get his revenge on that b.i.t.c.h.â Prince Rui stated this indignantly, then proceeded to slap the armrest of Gui Feiâs chair. Producing a fit of pain in his neck region, his facial features immediately distorted.
During the day of the welcoming reception, in a fit of fury he had fainted to the ground. Coincidentally he landed right on top of the white jade stone step. Now to this day, his neck is still crooked and sore. With this extraordinary shame and humiliation, how could he just swallow this down?!
When Jiang Zhaorouâs gloomy eyes saw how Prince Rui distorted his face, she sneered inside. Consort Qing was just a common petty female, but who would have thought this man would have such a narrow breadth of mind.
âw.a.n.g Ye, itâs getting late, so if you do not have any other matters to discuss, Qie will go back now.â
âOk, you can go back and rest first. Tomorrow this royal will come again to look for you to discuss some important matters.â Supporting his hand with one neck, he waved his other hand to signal Jiang Zhaorou, she could leave.
Jiang Zhaorou bowed and retreated. The instant she stepped out of the room, her footsteps stopped. Lifting her head to look at the roof, with a light jump she gracefully climbed up.
âw.a.n.g Ye, do you really trust the words of this songstress?â Inside the room, Once Jiang Zhaorou left the room, Prince Ruiâs trusted aide who was also his housekeeper immediately softly asked.
âAaa, she is just merely a songstress who canât even go on the big stage. She is Xue Countryâs mole hidden in the Country of Ye for many years, but in the end she is simply just a prost.i.tute. So many years of being immersed in wine and women **, Iâm afraid that she has probably long past, tossed those large plans to the back of her head. How could this royal so easily trust her? This royal isnât a fool, isnât it just exploiting her and the Country of Xue to a.s.sist this royal highnessâs big conspiracy plan. Once this royal has finally succeeded, once my name and reputation has become ill.u.s.trious, how could I seriously sell out my own country in exchange? For this royalâs reputation, when the moment comes then to that little songstress, we could just bite them back⌠â
âw.a.n.g Ye is brilliant, so brilliant. Your servant understands now.â
Master and servant, both believing themselves to be infallible, looked at each other and started laughing. On top of the rooftop, Jiang Zhaorou also couldnât hold back her sarcastic smile. With ease she pulled out a small nail from the rooftop and easily shot it out like a bullet.
âAi ya, w.a.n.g Ye, what happened? How did the chair suddenly collapse? w.a.n.g YeâŚâ The housekeeperâs alarmed yell caused Jiang Zhaorou to sneer, then she turned and left.
âAaa, this royalâs neck⌠NECK! Why arenât you hurrying over to help support this royal up?â
âw.a.n.g Ye, w.a.n.g Ye please donât move. Your neck.. your neck⌠I think itâs becoming straight, itâs straight again!â
ââŚâ Once Jiang Zhaorou who just recently left the the garden area heard those shouts, her pace suddenly slowed, the corner of her mouth twitching a bit. In the end without doing anything more her face turned complicated and she left the area.
