Lou Lianxin jumped as she hurriedly turned her head around like a shocked rat, and fled away.
Behind her, Xiahhou Liuyun couldnāt help but break into guffaws as he watched her, āHahaha, second brother, I canāt. Did you see her, Iām going to die of laughter! Itās obvious that she hates us to death but because sheās wary of our status, she can only suck in her anger. Her face was already choked up like a palette, hahaha!
Right now, sheās definitely yelling at us inside, thinking that weāre helping Lou Qingwu because we think sheās pretty. She definitely thinks that her legitimate sister used her face to seduce her ā¦ but even with a hundred other reasons, sheād never think that she herself is the reason! Hahaha!ā
Could he be any more truthful?
Lou Qingwu silently looked at them, making herself invisible to them.
Xiahou Rui coldly looked at him but didnāt say anything, his dark eyes wandered and fell upon Lou Qingwu before deepening and bring about a hint of probing.
His obsidian like eyes were made even shiny by the gla.s.s lights reflected on the Vermillion Bird gate.
Xiahou Liuyun held onto Xiahou Ruiās shoulder for support as he nearly fell down laughing.
But because the other two people didnāt pay him any mind, he found it dull but didnāt mind.
He rubbed his nose and happily moved towards Lou Qingwuās side.
His peach blossom eyes blinked bewitchingly, as he roguishly laughed, naturally charming, āHey, this prince helped you, how do you plan on thanking this prince?ā
āHow do you want to be thanked?ā Lou Qingwuās eyes flashed with a light that no one couldnāt understand.
Xiahou Liuyun looked at this extremely pretty girl in front of him, his eyes curious
He wanted to know how this girl would react to receiving the deep appreciation of two princes.
Would she be overwhelmed with joy or would she be like a little startled deer, or would she be like all the other girls and fall over herself fawing over them?
Xiahou Liuyunās mind was beginning to wander and come up with nonsense but the girl in front of him was still expressionless, as if the people standing in front of her were just ordinary citizens.
After half a beat, her bright red lips parted and slowly spoke, āThen thank you to the two princes.ā
She bowed as she finished speaking, then walked straight past them ā¦ .
āAh?ā Xiahou Liuyun froze and didnāt react until Lou Qingwu had walked about ten or so steps away.
That was it?
Where was the overwhelming grat.i.tude, overwhelming joy, the little startled deer that he wanted?
She just said āthank youā, those two words and that was it?
This ā¦ this, wasnāt she taking this magnificent seventh princeās a.s.sistance too lightly?
He resentfully looked at Lou Qingwuās pretty backside as she walked away.
Xiahou Liuyun made little noises as he chewed on a piece of fabric from Xiahou Ruiās shoulder, āSecond brother, she, she, thereās something wrong with her eyes.ā
Who didnāt fawn over them and flatter them?
That woman was definitely a block of wood!
That dead type of wood!
Xiahou Rui swept an eye at his clothes, disdainfully stretched out a finger and poked Xiahou Ruiās forehead and pushed him away.
He apathetically brushed away at some imaginary dust on his clothes, calmly speaking, āYouāve already finished watching the play, so we can enter the palace now.ā
Following that girlās personality, saying even thank you was hard for her.
He believed that even if seventh little brother didnāt step in to help, that girl would definitely be able to slip away from danger easily.
It was as if she had already planned everything and faced danger calmly.
This was a feeling that he got from watching the scene at the Lou residence.
āSecond brother, you donāt care about me at all!ā He didnāt even finish watching all that drama, he definitely wasnāt satisfied!
Xiahou Liuyun rubbed the back of his head as he unhappily shouted.
Xiahou Rui didnāt bother with him and headed forward.
But he only took two steps before he stopped.
His eyes chased Lou Qingwuās silhouette as his eyes darkened, some type of emotion began to form in the depth of his eyes before slowly disappearing back to normal.
Lou Qingwu walked from the Vermillion Bird gate to enter the palace.
The palace was filled with glazed tiles, walled with them as the palace towered over her.
She looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar palace hall, her eyes becoming increasingly cold.

TL note
When Xiahou Liuyun makes little noises as he chews on Xiahou Ruiās shirt, in Chinese itās āå¤å¤å¤å¤ā (ying) which is directly translated to what birds would call out. So just read it as āying ying ying yingā or some other little noise because heās trying to be cute.
Picture him being a small birb
And the t.i.tle means probing as in investigating but he's kind of just trying to get a feel of who LQW is as a person. She feels too mature to be a barely 15 year old which is fair because her spirit is that of like a 40 year old.
Leave a comment and to see whoās going to pop up behind LQW xx
