Chapter 211.2 - The empress dowager is difficult
Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes and just as she was about to choose how to answer, she heard a voice call out from outside of the Renshou palace main hall, “The Night Prince arrives ---”
The empress dowager’s originally leisurely expression instantly froze.
She shot upright and frowned as she looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Feng Yege wore all white as he entered, his handsome face like jade and expressionless.
He stood next to Lou Qingwu and looked at the empress dowager, “Ye has come to greet the empress dowager.”
“Ye’er, aren’t you feeling unwell? Why are you here?” The empress dowager’s eyes fell on his pale face as her face flashed hurt.
This child, how could he torment himself like this?
“I heard that today was the banquet for the Xiliang country’s ambassadors. I only had some medicine and slept, arriving here as early as I could but who knew that it’d finish so early. So I came here to see grandmother.”
“....” You probably just want to see the person to your right.
The empress dowager sighed.
Without waiting for her to speak, Feng Yege continued, “When I came to Renshou palace, I heard that the empress wanted to see the Countess of Rende, could the empress dowager let her go?”
Feng Yege had only just arrived but he was already asking so straightforwardly for Lou Qingwu.
But his expression was righteous, making the empress dowager unable to get angry even if she wanted to.
But she also knew that as long as Feng Yege, that child, was here, she wouldn’t be able to bestow a marriage on that Lou family’s daughter.
Originally, she wanted to seize this opportunity to nail down her marriage, but who knew that he would actually hurt himself just for this Lou family’s daughter.
She grew even unhappier towards Lou Qingwu.
She couldn’t let this girl live any more.
Feng Yege’s face was still calm so the empress dowager could only wave her hands, “Okay, if the empress is looking for you then Qingwu, you should go to Kunning palace.”
“Yes, this subject-girl will first retreat.” Before leaving, she took one last look at Feng Yege.
Her eyes were complicated for a moment before regaining their usual calm.
As she left Renshou palace, she found that Feng Shiyi was already waiting for her outside.
His expression wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either.
“Miss Lou, come with me. Master wanted me to send you out of the palace.”
“No need.” Lou Qingwu shook her head, rejecting him.
Previously, senior brother had been on the path out of the palace when he got injured.
This time, his injury wasn’t completely healed yet.
He couldn’t be without Feng Shiyi.
Furthermore, apart from Ruan Zhen, there was no one else who wanted to kill her in this capital.
“But …” Shiyi froze, “Master ordered me to send Miss Lou back to the residence.”
“I brought some house servants. If the Night Prince asks, just say it like it is.” Without waiting for Shiyi, she left towards the exit of the palace.
Lan Bai quickly followed.
The night was cold as Lou Qingwu suddenly didn’t feel as eager to leave the palace.
She chose a stone paved path as she slowly walked towards the Vermilion Bird gate.
Lan Bai was behind her as she thought for a bit, before asking, “Master, why were you at Renshou palace for so long? Did the empress dowager say something to you?”
“The empress dowager wanted to bestow a marriage on me.” Lou Qingwu didn’t plan on hiding that from Lan Bai.
“Ah?” Lan Bai’s expression changed, “Then what do we do?”
“It seems like our plan will have to be pushed ahead.” She didn’t think that if the empress dowager decided to set down an imperial decree that Xiahou Qing would have the courage to against it.
So if that’s the case, she firstly had to deal with Xiahou Qing.
As long as she entered the third prince’s residence, according to Xiahou Qing’s conceited personality, he definitely would think that her whole heart was on him.
At that time, it’d only be a matter of time until she found out where he’d placed his thirteen closest aides.
One hit after another was the only way to completely destroy Xiahou Qing, to the point where he was unable to turn his life around.

TL note:
I found a really good novel about a girl from the future going back to the past, and having poison powers and cooking really well.
It’s such a good novel but each chapter would be over 6k words each OTL
For those who are interested, it’s called (爆宠毒妻：娘亲要翻天).
Leave a comment and because there’s one other person who hates LQW xx
