nChapter 16: Some Serious PDA (1)

nThe next morning, the news that the Third Lady scratched all over her body spread across the Prime Minister Mansion.

nThe Second Concubine was in a fury.

n

n

nXiao Yue heard about that from running an errand outside.

n“My lady, something odd happened to the Third Lady last night.” said Xiao Yue, trying to intrigue Luo Qianqian.

nLuo Qianqian was now applying some makeup in front of the toilet table, she asked Xiao Yue, “Oh? What odd thing?”

n“I heard that the Third Lady started to scratch herself right after she left ours, and she scratched herself hard.”

n

n

nXiao Yue looked at Luo Qianqian and continued, “The Second Concubine sent for doctors yet of no avail, no one knew what happened to the Third Lady. 300 had to knock the Third Lady time and again. People all say it’s karma, the Third Lady has been bullying you for a long time, that serves her right.”

nA touch of sneer flashed across Xiao Yue’s face, she thought to herself no one would dare to bully her lady and her any more.

n“Yeah, she has only herself to blame.” replied Luo Qianqian with difference.

nLuo Keer always stirred up troubles and it was her who poisoned the real Luo Qianqian, her own sister.

n

n

n“My lady, is it today that Prince Eighth send the betrothal gifts?” asked Xiao Yue cheerfully.

n“Yeah, I suppose.” replied Luo Qianqian, thinking about last night, she nodded.

n“But… … what about Doctor Lin ? Are you really giving up on Doctor Lin ?” asked Xiao Yue with concern, it was Doctor Lin who had been helping them out secretly, and her lady used to love Doctor Lin so much, why all of a sudden she behaved like a changed person?

nSeeing Xiao Yue’s reflection from the mirror, Luo Qianqian frowned. Xiao Yue kept saying how much she and Lin Zimo loved each other, how come she only remembered she and Lin Zimo were just acquaintance?

nWhat happened?

nSigh, only the real Luo Qianqian would know about the truth! But she was sure she had no other thought when she saw Lin Zimo.

n

n

nLuo Qianqian downplayed it and answered, “All is written now, I’m obeying the imperial edict.”

nBut she remembered the real Luo Qianqian rejected the imperial edict in the heart, could it be due to Lin Zimo?

nLuo Qianqian now was not against the idea from the beginning, because she knew words had it that Murong Yun was impotent. And she just want to earn enough points to go back to 21st century.

nXiao Yue frowned, “My lady, I know you are obeying the imperial edict, I just… I just feel sorry for Doctor Lin .”

n“Xiao Yue, keep this in mind, we gotta live the present, you know what I mean? Grasping the present is the only way to live a better future.”

nXiao Yue nodded, not sure whether she had got the gist, “Yes, my lady.”

nXiao Yue respected the decision made by her lady, she was just worried for Doctor Lin .

nPrince Eighth’s Mansion and the Prime Minister’s Mansion were located at the east side and west side of the town respectively, and this morning everyone was drawn to the street by the hustle and bustle.

n

n

nCarriage after carriage were heading from the Prince Eighth’s Mansion to the Prime Minister’s.

nA man was sitting in the first carriage, he was wearing a red gown with golden embroidery, his long hair was hanging loosely like a black waterfall. The man looked so otherworldly.

nHe was breathtakingly gorgeous, his unfathomable eyes were not focused on anyone or anything, he looked so unapproachable.

n“That’s Prince Eighth!”

n“Look, it’s Prince Eighth!”

nAll of a sudden, people stood on either side of the street all kowtowed to Prince Eighth, “Greetings, Prince Eighth!”

nA little girl who was dragged down on the ground by her mom raised a question, “Mom, why are we kowtowing to Prince Eighth?”

n“Shhhh” the mom covered the little girl’s mouth, “Please take no offense at a child’s babble.”

nWhy would people kowtow to Prince Eighth?

nYoung as Prince Eighth was, he had been in the army for six years! Tianqi Country was now in the heyday of peace all thanks to the General Invincible on the battlefield!

nPrince Eighth did everything he could to protect his country even though he had been leading quite an eventful life since he was a boy, he was poisoned and became impotent since, he was still suffering Frigid Poison and he almost lost his ability to walk on the battlefield, kowtowing to him was a way to express their gratitude.

nSoon people started to ask, “Why is Prince Eighth heading to the west with all these carriages?”

n“The Prime Minister’s Mansion was located in the west.” chimed in someone.

n

n

n“Look at those treasures in the carriages!”

nEveryone started to peep, “Is Prince Eighth heading to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to send betrothal gifts?”

nWow, over twenty carriages full of treasures?!

n“How lucky is this Fourth Lady of Prime Minister’s!”

n“It’s every girl’s dream to marry Prince Eighth even though he has some physical problems.”

nSoon, it became the talk of the capital city.

nLuo Pavilion, Prime Minister’s Mansion.

nMurong Yun led all the carriages to the gate of Luo Pavilion, there were several carriages could only wait outside the Prime Minister’s Mansion due to the long line.

nLuo Qianqian heard the clip-clop, she opened the gate only to find over a dozen of carriages are outside her door.

nThe horse that led Murong Yun’s carriage was so excited to see Luo Qianqian, it nickered and stuck out its tongue to lick Luo Qianqian.

nThanks to Feng Qing who grabbed it promptly.

nLuo Qianqian exclaimed in her heart, ‘what the heck is going on?’

n“Where’s Murong Yun?” asked Luo Qianqian.

n
