Chapter 93 Will You Leave If You're So Devoted?
Consort Xiao's words left Su Huayue extremely embarrassed.
Her face flushed red, unsure whether to respond or not, until the Empress intervened to smooth things over.
"Alright, they know what's going on with the kids themselves. We're too old to worry about it."
Queen said.
Consort Xiao gave a disapproving snort.
"Sister, you don't need to worry about him. His Highness the Prince of Qin doesn't need anyone to take care of him. Unlike the Prince of Chu, he never gives me a moment's peace. It's been so long and he still hasn't come..."
Consort Xiao realized her mistake at this point and immediately stopped, chuckling, "Anyway, His Highness Prince Qin is moving too fast; even Prince Chu can't catch up."
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Su Mowan.
Su Mowan knew exactly what Consort Xiao meant by "His Highness Prince Qin acts quickly," and immediately felt speechless.
Is Your Highness the King of Qin quick to act?
There was absolutely no movement!
Seeing that she only smiled and didn't speak, Consort Xiao asked with great concern, "How has Consort Su been feeling lately? Has she had any particularly severe reactions?"
Su Mowan felt Su Huayue looking at her with a sinister gaze, but when she looked over, her gaze turned away again.
The Empress also turned her gaze over, her expression subtly showing concern.
So, Su Mowan simply gritted her teeth and lied.
"I'm doing well lately, thank you for your concern, Consort Xiao."
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
And it's uncertain whether she can even smooth things over. Su Mowan harbors a great deal of resentment towards Murong Jing at this moment, more so than ever before.
Actually, when she said this, her eyes were a little evasive and her face was a little embarrassed, but the Empress and Consort Xiao automatically attributed this reaction to shyness.
The Empress gave a faint "hmm".
"It's good that you're alright. When I was pregnant with the Crown Prince..."
The Empress stopped speaking as soon as she finished speaking.
Consort Xiao, ever perceptive, immediately asked with concern, "Sister, will the Crown Princess be coming tonight? She said she wasn't feeling well, I wonder if she's feeling any better?"
The image of the Crown Princess flashed through Su Mowan's mind. After hearing Consort Xiao's words, she frowned slightly.
The Empress didn't react in any particular way, and calmly said, "The Crown Princess is in poor health and just had morning sickness a couple of days ago. I don't know if she will be able to attend the banquet tonight."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the group varied.
Although Consort Xiao was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes. "Then I'll have to put in a lot of effort, sister, since this is the Crown Prince's first child."
Su Mowan was shocked by the word 'morning sickness'.
The Crown Princess is experiencing morning sickness...
Just then, a pink figure drifted in from outside the hall, and its voice came even before it arrived.
"Mother, I've come!"
It was none other than the Seventh Princess, Murong Yu.
When the Empress saw her running in so wildly and without any decorum, she immediately frowned.
"Don't be silly, look around and see if anyone's here."
Although it sounded like a reprimand, Su Mowan could still tell that the Empress doted on the Seventh Princess.
The seventh princess awkwardly stopped walking.
She called out "Good!" to Consort Xiao in a clear voice, and then called out "Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law" to Su Huayue.
Being treated so kindly by the Seventh Princess, Su Huayue's face immediately lit up with a smile.
She was about to say something to the Seventh Princess when the Seventh Princess turned around and sat down next to Su Mowan.
"Sister-in-law, you didn't even tell me when you arrived, so I could have picked you up!"
Su Mowan smiled.
"How could I possibly trouble the Seventh Princess?"
The Seventh Princess was displeased and pouted, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? With our relationship, why are you talking about 'troubling' or 'troubling'? I haven't even thanked you for what happened last time!"
These words revealed her closeness to Su Mowan, and the smile on Su Huayue's face faded instantly. She secretly clenched her fingers under her sleeve.
Even Consort Xiao, who was sitting above, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The seventh princess has always been displeased with everyone and is arrogant. How did Su Mowan manage to tame such a difficult princess?
Su Mowan naturally sensed those probing gazes.
However, she ignored it and instead asked the Seventh Princess, "I wonder if the Princess was satisfied with the things from last time?"
"Satisfied! Very satisfied!"
The Seventh Princess nodded hurriedly, "It's all thanks to my sister-in-law, otherwise Father would have locked me up for another ten days or half a month!"
Upon hearing this, Su Huayue turned her gaze to the two of them, and Consort Xiao even asked directly.
"What benefit did the Seventh Princess receive from Consort Su? She even managed to appease the Emperor?"
The Seventh Princess doesn't seem to like Consort Xiao very much.
She chuckled and replied dismissively, "It's nothing much. I just visited my sister-in-law's place last time and learned some profound lessons."
Seeing that Consort Xiao was about to ask more questions, the Empress quickly coughed and said, "Your sister-in-law is right. If you continue to be this obedient, your father won't have to discipline you every other day."
The Seventh Princess pouted and gave a coquettish hum, ignoring the Empress's words.
It was around late afternoon, the sky was getting slightly dark, and the sun had already set. The Empress was the first to get up.
"It's about time. Let's go over there, so that the Emperor won't have to send someone to invite us later."
The group rose to their feet, with the Empress leading the way out of the hall, followed by Consort Xiao, and Su Huayue seemingly obediently trailing behind Consort Xiao.
Su Mowan lifted her skirt and was about to follow, but was stopped by the Seventh Princess.
"Mother, please go ahead. I need to speak with my sister-in-law for a few moments. I'll be right back!"
The empress, who was walking ahead, had no objections, gave a curt reply, and left.
After everyone had disappeared, the Seventh Princess grabbed Su Mowan's hand anxiously and said, "Sister-in-law, Shangguan Qingqi will be coming tonight, and I'll need your cooperation!"
Seeing her excited expression, Su Mowan asked, puzzled, "How are you going to cooperate? What are you going to do to them?"
"What else can we do!"
The Seventh Princess, with a face full of heroic spirit, put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "If he dares to come, I'll make sure he doesn't dare to marry me!"
Su Mowan remained silent.
Why does the Seventh Princess look like she's about to rape someone?
Su Mowan thought for a moment and still advised, "You should save your breath. So many ministers are here tonight, with their wives and children. If you ruin this marriage, your 'infamy' will spread far and wide. Which young master would dare to marry you?"
The Seventh Princess leaned closer and whispered with a sly smile, "Of course we can't make a move in a crowded place. I have my own way!"
Su Mowan first silently mourned for Shangguan Qingqi, and then said to the Seventh Princess, "I may not report you, but I will not help you."
Upon hearing this, the seventh princess refused to comply.
He immediately put his hands on his hips, glared, and raised his eyebrows.
"No, sister-in-law! What kind of relationship do we have? There's a saying, what's it again? 'When you see injustice on the road, you should speak up!' 'Wouldn't you stand by me even if it meant going through fire and water?'"
"Don't go."
