Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

Chapter 160: Counter Strike

Translator: Irisjo

“A prince doesn’t mean anything, but with her son Imperial Concubine Xiao will be able to earn a higher status. Even though there aren’t any higher positions she can reach in the palace anymore. A royal descendant means a great deal and it is a great merit in the current palace. There might be a chance that The Third Prince could earn a chair in court with this.”

Du Chuxuan’s analysis was reliable. If Emperor Han didn’t mean this, how could he allow a concubine to do this? This matter made the two of them be on their guard.

Dongxiang ran back at this time, with a bloody nose and a swollen face. Seeing Yuxing Tianrui and everyone standing in the house, he subconsciously exclaimed, “Your Highness, now that you’re back, follow me to Imperial Concubine Xiao’s place and invite a doctor to come. His Highness is in an emergency!”

“Hahaha, this brat is so stupid that he seems funny,” Luo Qing was originally a Martial Artist, so he was not fastidious with etiquette. It was enough that he knew his Master was Du Chuxuan and that the person he claimed his allegiance to was Yuxing Tianrui. As for the rest, he wouldn’t care much.

Only when he heard his voice, Dongxiang looked in that direction and saw Luo Qing and a young medicine boy dressed in an Imperial Physician Court uniform, which startled him instantly, “But they all said that Imperial Concubine Xiao has transferred everyone away. At this time, there is no one more to spare.”

He didn’t believe it and still wanted to break through, so he was beaten up and still felt indignant in his heart.

Du Chuxuan was able to tell that he was wronged and couldn’t help but smile. “Could it be that you got all your bruises from that place?”

“Your Highness still have the heart to make fun of me. People in the palace all rumored that Your Highness has fallen out of favor now. As the steward of Your Highness, I naturally don’t have any say either. The reason that they dare to hit me like this isn’t because they felt that I was going to lose power soon?”

“What’s going on?” Yuxing Tianrui had been staying in the study after coming back these past few days. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to come back and enjoy the idleness, but it was Du Chuxuan who didn’t want him to come back and that there were too many things had been hold up and he needed to finish the things at hand.

“Your Highness still doesn’t know?” Luo Qing seemed to have heard something interesting, “I’ve heard several versions already in less than half an hour since I came back today.”

Du Chuxuan originally wanted to stop them, but when he saw his little vinegar jar’s gloomy face, he knew that these people had crossed Yuxing Tianrui’s bottomline. It was better for him to stay further away.

After half an hour, Luo Qing got thirsty and dried from the talking, thereby, he was hoping to see how His Highness was going to react when his favourite person was wronged, but got kicked out by Yuxing Tianrui.

The little medicine boy beside him carefully whisked the front and the back of him, “The head of the department once warned you not to not make fun of His Highness with your master’s affairs. Sir, you might want to hold your tongue in the future.”

Luo Qing looked at the people coming and going and many of which shoot implicit smile at him. Obviously, those were the people who knew him which made him feel even more embarrassed. “Humph, what do you boys know? His Highness will naturally know the goodness of me in the future. Besides, you are my medicine boy. How can His Highness be so partial?”

As he said this, he kicked the back of the little medicine boy, making him staggered and feeling helpless before he left satisfyingly with his men.

After Luo Qing left, Luo Yun and Dongxiang were chased out by Yuxing Tianrui. He lowered his head and looked at Du Chuxuan with a dangerous look, “I’m afraid that everyone in the palace knows about it and I don’t know anything about it when I’m so smart. Should My Beloved Princess explain himself?”

Du Chuxuan snickered, which he didn’t mean to. He still didn’t know Yuxing Tianrui’s temper. He always felt that he was stable and should anything happened, the first person who couldn’t hold back would be him.

“What is Your Highness saying? I am Your Highness’s eyes and ears, if I know, doesn’t it mean that Your Highness will know it also? Isn’t it how it is?” As he spoke, he subconsciously grabbed the person and blocked the rest of Yuxing Tianrui’s words with his lips.

Yuxing Tianrui, who was in a daze, repeated Du Chuxuan’s words in his mind with his remaining consciousness. It seemed that there was something wrong with it, but there seemed to be no problem either. ‘So, what was I angry with just now?’

The news that the crown princess got sick from the irritation of a group of servants soon spread out in the palace. By the time the Emperor and Empress heard it, they couldn’t even control it.

“Why did something like this happen all of a sudden?” The Emperor frowned and the teacup in his hand was tightly clenched. “I haven’t noticed anything unusual these past two days. Could it be that his mind is already so deep?”

The Empress also found it weird, “Speaking of it, that girl has been sick for the past two days, and her condition had been unsteady.” She mumbled and had the feeling that something was wrong. “How about I ask someone to inquire about it carefully. If there was anything at all, it could be easier for me to show my concern.”

The Emperor naturally wouldn’t refuse. However, it had been such a long time since the news had spread, yet there was no news saying who had actually made Crown Princess uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. Yuxing Tianrui stood at the front of the court early in the morning. Since he was always at this spot and has always come early, he was the model for the young people today, so he didn’t attract any attention.

It wasn’t until the Emperor came up did he feel that there was something wrong with his son today.

“Report if you have anything to say,” He waved his hand to the eunuch beside him who then spoke up loudly.

“I have something to report.” Yuxing Tianrui shouted loudly as the Emperor finished speaking. The military officials who were prepared to report were all shocked.

What was with all this vibe with their crown prince? The last time the crown prince had prepared a report was when the Turk wanted to attack.

The Emperor felt that it must be related to what happened yesterday. But since he had no extra news until now, he could only wave his hand and let Yuxing Tianrui speak.

“I suggest the impeachment of Imperial Concubine Xiao.” The moment he said this, everyone was shocked in the court. At that time, whispering voice of all kinds was heard all of a sudden.

The Emperor frowned subconsciously, ‘Why did he get involved with Imperial Concubine Xiao again? Did he really think too much?’, “What was the cause?”

The Crown Princess went to the Imperial Physician Court to seek treatment yesterday due to illness, but all of the imperial physicians of the Imperial Physician Court had gone to Imperial Concubine Xiao for consult out of her order.”
