Chapter 141: Quite a Temper

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Hearing that, Princess Ninth’s brows furrowed and she sprang up to her feet, “What did you say? Come again?” her voice had a piercing tone to it.

Little Liu repeated what she had just said, she wished she could serve on some other princess in the imperial palace. Princess Ninth was notoriously known for her temper, she would torture her maids over little things, Little Liu heard that there were five maids died from Princess Ninth’s torture and Little Liu was worried that she might be the sixth.

“Doctor Lin… Doctor Lin has come with Prince Eighth?” Princess Ninth asked anxiously, ‘Will my plan still work out? What… what if Doctor Lin finds out the flowers… what to become of me then?’

Princess Ninth was so anxious, “Little Liu, are you sure about that? Doctor Lin is here?”

“That’s absolutely true, Your Highness.”replied Little Liu.

‘Damn! What should I do then!’ Princess Ninth cried out in the heart.

“And what has Doctor Lin said? How is Murong Xue now?” Princess Ninth asked promptly.

Princess Ninth had heard Murong Yun had been feeling ill, that was why she dared to hurt Murong Xue. Both the empress and Princess Ninth were sure that the imperial physicians wouldn’t be able to tell the problem lied in the flowers because they were a bunch of old pedants who couldn’t think outside of the box.

Princess Ninth still hoped Murong Xue now was in too severe a condition to be saved at this point.

But what Little Liu said next was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, “Your Highness, I heard Princess Eleventh now is all better, Doctor Lin found out the problem and made a prescription for her.”

‘That was fast! What would become of me then? The empress won’t protect me for sure! What should I do?’

The more Princess Ninth thought, the more agitated she became, she slapped Little Liu to vent her resentment, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier!”

Little Liu was in tears, “I did! I told you as soon as I came back.”

“Humph! I need to see the empress, Little Liu, you come with me!” Princess Ninth muttered, the empress was her only hope now, she was determined that she would drag the empress down with her if the empress refused to protect her!

“Your Highness, please watch your steps!” Little Liu picked up the long train of Princess Ninth’s outfit behind her.

Princess Ninth met a figure at the gate of her palace.

‘Who is this person? She looks kinda familiar, where have I seen her before?’

Princess Ninth looked the girl up and down with her fists clenched.

This girl was so gorgeous, especially her eyes, it felt like the eyes could talk to people and even cast spells on people. She looked so beautiful even though she was in a plain white gown.

‘She indeed looks very familiar, I’m sure I’ve seen her somewhere before! Ah~ I see, it’s her! Luo Qianqian! The Fourth Lady of Prime Minister Luo’s who used to be disliked by everybody! Of course I’ve seen her before.’ Princess Ninth thought, ‘But what is she doing here?’

Then Princess Ninth alighted on the girl who was standing by Luo Qianqian, ‘Lvluo?’

Princess Ninth took one more look at the young maid, she was sure it was Lvluo.

‘Luo Qianqian is Murong Xue’s sister-in-law now, they have been on good terms! Is Luo Qianqian here to confront me for Murong Xue? But I’m a princess, I’m not afraid of her.’

Princess Ninth put on airs and looked down upon the girl who was walking to her, “Luo Qianqian, right? Please behave yourself in front of a princess.”

Luo Qianqian put on a smile and made a bow with hands folded in front, in a coy tone, she said, “Greetings, Your Highness the Princess Ninth.”

Princess Ninth curled her lips with satisfaction, ‘People have been saying how tough Luo Qianqian is, humph, she is just like everyone else, I made her greet me just like that.’

“What are you doing in my palace?” Princess Ninth kept looking around, she was more worried about Murong Yun and the Imperial Noble Consort might show up.

Luo Qianqian withdrew a passing token that the emperor had ‘lent’ her.

Everyone need to kneel down in the presence of His Majesty’s passing token. Luo Qianqian fondled with the passing token and said, “Princess Ninth, look what I have in my hand.”

Princess Ninth gritted her teeth when she saw the passing token, but she remained motionless.

Little Six thumped on the ground first.

“Your Highness, don’t you know what this is? This is His Majesty’s passing token.” Luo Qianqian said with indifference.

Princess Ninth opened her mouth trying to defend herself.

Luo Qianqian retorted before Princess Ninth could make a sound, “Your Highness, why still haven’t you knelt down now that you’ve already known this is His Majesty’s passing token, that’s the worst offence!”

Princess Ninth knelt down reluctantly, she glared at Luo Qianqian with killing intent filled with her eyes.

“Princess Ninth, where are you heading off?” Luo Qianqian asked with a big smile on her face.

Princess Ninth now had already rose to her feet, it almost killed her that she had to kneel in front of Luo Qianqian, a daughter of an official!

Princess Ninth looked livid, she wished she could slap Luo Qianqian on her face, but she dared not to act recklessly because of the passing token.

“I don’t owe you any explanation, get out of my way now.” with that Princess Ninth shoved Luo Qianqian.

Strangely enough, Luo Qianqian didn’t avoid the shoving when she could.

Luo Qianqian just slumped down on the ground after Princess Ninth had shoved her, she put on that act to scare Princess Ninth. The next second she picked herself up from the ground and stared at Princess Ninth, “Your Highness, quite a temper you’ve got. Yeah, I’m just a daughter of an official and you are a princess, but you do owe me an explanation!”

Princess Ninth retreated a few steps in alarm, “What do you want to do to me? You will face the consequences if anything shall happen to me!”
