Chapter 499: Chapter 166: Xiao Jinxing’s "Novel" Revenge_5
Zhao Mengyu sat on the royal chair in her own chamber, finally having the time to ask Xiao Jinsen about today’s events, her tone naturally bad, "What exactly happened today?!"
Xie Ruiyao naturally follows by Xiao Jinsen’s side.
Zhao Mengyu became furious.
She too was scared silent.
"Xiao Jinsen!" Zhao Mengyu shouted angrily, "Fighting with Xiao Jinxing was already enough, but you couldn’t even defeat him! Look at your face, how many civil and military officials laughed at us today, what do you think your Imperial Father must feel, you’re almost killing me with anger!"
"It’s because your son is unskilled in martial arts."
"You really can’t beat Xiao Jinxing!"
Xiao Jinsen pursed his lips, his face indeed looking extremely unpleasant!
"All the years of practicing martial arts, where did all that learning go?! Xiao Jinxing just recovered from his leg injury not long ago, and you still couldn’t beat him?!" Zhao Mengyu was so angry her face turned red.
Xiao Jinsen himself didn’t expect that Xiao Jinxing would improve so quickly!
In a fit of anger.
A confidant of Zhao Mengyu suddenly stepped forward and reported, "Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, we just received news that Prince Chen and Princess Chen went to the Emperor’s chamber."
Zhao Mengyu’s anger intensified, and she directly threw her teacup onto the floor.
Xie Ruiyao trembled with fright.
"Xiao Jinsen, do you see that! Xiao Jinxing knows to please your Imperial Father at this time, yet you can do nothing!"
"It is my fault, I am willing to accept the punishment from Mother Consort," Xiao Jinsen quickly knelt on the ground.
"Enough!" Zhao Mengyu harshly said, "I don’t want to hear your apologies anymore, I want to see your success!"
"Yes." Xiao Jinsen answered respectfully, "I will go to the Imperial Father’s chamber right away."
"Stop!" Zhao Mengyu directly refused, "Xiao Jinxing brings Ye Qichi because Ye Qichi has medical skills, under the pretense of treating the Emperor. You going would just give the Eunuch Mu a reason to kick you out, it’s pointless."
Xiao Jinsen clenched his teeth.
Xiao Jinxing simply relies on having Ye Qichi...
If Ye Qichi weren’t Xiao Jinxing’s!
Xiao Jinsen clenched his fists.
Xiao Jinxing’s obsession with Ye Qichi grew deeper and deeper.
"Xiao Jinxing could never truly please the Emperor. His downfall is the lack of a mother’s support. Now, the Emperor only favors me, no matter how many beauties or talented ladies enter the palace, the Emperor shows no interest in them!" Zhao Mengyu sinisterly said, "As long as I hold the Emperor’s heart, Xiao Jinxing can never receive the Emperor’s favor."
Xiao Jinsen echoed, "Thanks to Mother Consort, your son has been able to thrive."
"But do not be complacent, watch Xiao Jinxing closely. The moment opportunity arises, kill him to eradicate any future problems!"
"Your son obeys."
"It’s getting late today." Zhao Mengyu waved her hand, "I need to rest now, you all should go back early too. Reflect deeply on today’s events when you return."
"Your son obeys, your son shall take his leave."
Xiao Jinsen left with Xie Ruiyao.
Leaving in immense anger.
After leaving, Zhao Mengyu called her confidant, instructing uneasily, "The Emperor’s daily diet must not be neglected."
"Do not worry, Imperial Concubine, there is always someone watching, there will be no mistakes."
Zhao Mengyu nodded.
She sneered maliciously.
Fortunately, in previous years she had been clever. Once she gained a certain status and power, she administered a drug in the Emperor’s diet that subdued his interest in women.
This way, no one else would compete with her for the Emperor’s favor.
Nor would there be any more children to compete with her own son for the throne.
All of these thoughts.
The former Empress would never have imagined them.
Serves her right, ending up with the extermination of her clan!
...
The night was very cold.
Ye Qichi sat in the carriage, shivering from the cold.
In such cold weather.
Snow was everywhere, the Emperor hosting some kind of Winter Solstice banquet.
Ye Qichi shivered.
Suddenly remembering something, she spoke to Xiao Jinxing sitting to the side, cold and distant, "Today I had a private meeting with Xie Ruotong."
"What then?" Xiao Jinxing replied indifferently.
"Her relationship with Song Yanqing is indeed not good, they haven’t consummated their marriage even after such a long time, and she won’t involve herself in the court struggles, so if it comes to it, I hope you show her mercy."
"Hmm." Xiao Jinxing responded.
Seemingly agreeing.
Suddenly being so agreeable, Ye Qichi was utterly surprised.
It almost didn’t seem like him.
"Don’t meet with Xiao Jinsen alone in the future." While Ye Qichi was lost in thought, Xiao Jinxing suddenly spoke.
His tone was very stern, very cold.
Ye Qichi was stunned.
Then, retorted, "He came to me."
"Can’t you avoid him?"
"If I could avoid it, would I be bullied by him?!" Ye Qichi was also infuriated.
Xiao Jinsen was powerful and skilled in martial arts.
What could she do?!
"Just don’t go to secluded places, wouldn’t that be enough?!" Xiao Jinxing was also furious.
Sudden anger.
The coachman driving the carriage was startled too.
The Prince and the Princess would probably never be at peace in this lifetime.
"How was I to know he would suddenly appear." Ye Qichi was somewhat speechless.
She just wanted to speak a few words with Xie Ruotong.
"Damn it!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly cursed.
He was also completely irate with Ye Qichi!
His long arm reached out, pulling Ye Qichi towards him.
Ye Qichi alarmed.
Before she could react!
Xiao Jinxing’s long fingers rubbed against her lips.
Rough movements.
As if he was wiping something unclean off her mouth.
What the hell.
Is this man sick?!
Ye Qichi’s pain almost brought tears to her eyes.
His method of revenge was indeed novel.
Just as Ye Qichi was about to scream in protest.
"Mmm!"
Ye Qichi’s eyes widened, staring at Xiao Jinxing as his face suddenly drew near.
His lips suddenly pressed against hers.
Leaving her completely stunned!
