The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 69

Tang Yi Ru felt uneasy inside. As long as she can't figure out what has happened on that night, she won't be able to sit still.

Fortunately, her household has quickly sent a message which said everything was settled. This made her feel a little assured.

When his Highness has returned with cefei for seven-eight days and nothing particular has happened in the estate, Tang Yi Ru's heart could finally calm down.

On this day, Tang Shufei has invited lady Qi to Shuhui Courtyard to try the newly invented snack. The two sat in the water pavilion, dismissing the services of attenders.

"How is little sister doing in recent days? If you run short of something, you needn't be polite, don't hesitate to tell me about it." Tang Yi Ru acted gently on the surface. However, inwardly, she contemplated that this lady Qi was quite well versed with incenses. If she was able to obtain some incenses that were beneficial for love act between man and woman, it would be for the best.

Looking at shufei who was much more spirited than in the past, lady Qi has guessed it was because of little lady Tang's "recuperating" outside of the palace. She has originally thought her scheme failed. How would she know that the mountain road would wordlessly twist around each new peak?

"This servant thanks shufei for your thoughtfulness. There's cefei to watch over the estate. Servants privately don't dare to deduce allowance money." Lady Qi replied politely as if she didn't hear lady Tang's affectionate "little sister".

The hand of Tang Yi Ru that was kneading the handkerchief under the stone table paused. However, the expression on her face was as warm-hearted as before. The two have chatted and laughed for a while before Tang Yi Ru had Shu Mei to send lady Qi off.

"You fool who don't know to appreciate other's favor." Tang Yi Ru looked coldly at departing lady Qi.

Want to sever ties at this time? It was so like her weak personality. No wonder she was always so good-for-nothing.

On the other side, as soon as lady Qi came back to her room, she drove people out. She shut herself in the room, recalling about the oddity in Shuhui Courtyard.

Originally, seeing Tang Yi Ru win an effortless victory, having disposed of little lady Tang, she planned to curry favor with her. However, as she was about to open her mouth, she had unexpectedly smelt a faint sweet scent.

It was precisely this extremely light scent that has alerted her.

It wasn't an ordinary fragrance. It was a life-taking thing.

This was Tang Shufei's second time being schemed by someone. What's more, it was fatal and merciless. The first time, it was little lady Tang. She has accidentally seen through the trick and enlightened Tang Yi Ru.

But now that little lady Tang was gone, there were still people who wanted to deal with her?

Lady Qi got up and slowly paced back and forth in the house. She felt like she had neglected something. She bit her lips and thought hard. Suddenly, lady Qi's face turned stark pale. She stood still, rooted in the place with a stiff body.

Truly. She was only half a step away from bumping into her doom. When she thought of those pair of ice-cold eyes, lady Qi felt terrified inside. She thought that she had a close call.

It was indeed dangerous. This wasn't something she could touch. She better try to avoid it as much as possible.

After that day, Tang Yi Ru has once again come to invite her. However, to her surprise, lady Qi didn't come under the pretext of illness. Tang shufei was so infuriated she tore a sketch that was about to be completed.
