Chapter 631 - The Secret of a Young Lady (2/2)

“The Crown Prince asked for the Qin Kingdom’s Emperor personally,” Hu Qianyue said hatefully as she glared venomously at Princess Caifeng’s retreating figure. How could she be willing to accept it? It was originally done by that ignorant b.i.t.c.h, but why did she get the blame? The jade pendant was first delivered to her? As the one who sent Princess Caifeng to marry into this country, she would naturally take the jade pendant.

She had never expected that the Crown Prince would suppress her with this matter.

“What about the Empress and the Third Prince?” the maidservant asked in a low voice as she frowned and helped Hu Qianyue walk forward. Her miss was the selected Third Prince’s wife. As her personal maidservant, she certainly knew about it.

“How many people in our hands can we use now?” Hu Qianyue did not answer but asked.

“Only five or six people, there are not many people. The Empress said that nothing would happen, and she was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Crown Prince. We only have so few people to use.” The maidservant knew that Hu Qianyue was asking about the several masters who were secretly protecting them. Originally, when they came, Hu Qianyue’s father wanted to send a few more people to go with them, but since the Empress said so, he could only do as she asked.

Hu Qianyue’s heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling. It was not enough to have so few people. It was impossible for these people to take her back to the Southern Barbarian Lands overnight, but she couldn’t just sit there and wait. Although she had used the clue in the imperial palace of the Qin Kingdom to contact the people on the other side, she had not escape the predicament, and the person hadn’t given her a final word.

She had to delay this matter first. She could not stay in the Qin Kingdom for no reason! She would be the future Empress of the Southern Barbarian Lands. How could she be willing to stay in the Qin Kingdom?

“Send a pigeon out later. Tell my cousin about this matter and ask him to find a way quickly.”

“Yes, I’ll arrange it at once.”

“Get someone to bring two more buckets of cold water later. Just say that we want to clean up some things we brought with us. Get the people of King Xuan’s Manor to prepare them for us.” Hu Qianyue gritted her teeth and a hint of determination flashed through her eyes.

“Miss, you want to…” The maidservant did not understand what she meant. When she saw Hu Qianyue’s cold face, she immediately stopped talking. Her miss had her own opinions. She should do whatever her miss ordered. This was also the reason why this maidservant had been working as Hu Qianyue’s personal maidservant for so many years.

Now that her miss had made up her mind, she had to do it!

They were discussing how to deal with the situation when Mo Ye was reporting what she had seen to Mo Xuetong.

“My Lady, Miss Hu only said a few words to the nanny. The main meaning was that she asked the master behind the nanny to save her, trying to break off the engagement with King Yan. She also said that if it is successful, she will definitely thank her master profusely, and after it’s done, she will be grateful and will definitely help him when he needs in the future.”

Mo Yu did not dare to get too close to them because she sensed that Miss Hu seemed to be able to perform martial arts. Her moves were light and swift, which was different from ordinary n.o.ble ladies. As such, Mo Yu entered and clung tightly to the wall of the rockery, not daring to move. Miss Hu was also so cautious that she spoke in a low voice and stopped from time to time to hear, which made Mo Yu even more afraid to move.

Mo Xuetong frowned and asked, “Mo Yu, what do you think of Miss Hu’s martial art?”

Mo Xuetong did not expect Hu Qianyue to be a martial artist, which they should be careful of, otherwise, no one would be able to explain if she had plotted against someone all of a sudden. Mo Yu had never mentioned this before. It seemed that Hu Qianyue had intentionally hidden it from others. This was Hu Qianyue’s trump card.

“I saw that Miss Hu was a normal girl. Common young ladies of n.o.ble families have heavy footsteps, which are the same as ordinary people do. But when I saw her moving deftly through the rockery and stone holes, I found that Miss Hu must be good at martial arts. She should be on par with me!”

Mo Yu thought for a while and told Mo Xuetong. This was not her speculation, and she had evidence. Hu Qianyue did not found out that she was there, but she could not get any closer, which meant that the two were equal in martial arts. Speaking of this, Mo Yu was still very unconvinced. She was the secret guard of Consort Xuan and served as her guard, so it was reasonable for her to be skilled in martial arts. However, Hu Qianyue was just a young lady from a n.o.ble family, but she had such good martial arts. How could Mo Yu not be annoyed?

At the same time, she felt a little lucky. Fortunately, she had found out Hu Qianyue’s secret today, or if she treated her as an ordinary n.o.ble lady, something bad would really happen to Mo Xuetong. Who would have thought that a delicate and weak young lady would have extraordinary marital arts? If she get close to Mo Xuetong in an emergency, what would happen?

At the thought of this, Mo Yu could not help but s.h.i.+ve, feeling that they were very lucky.

“Mo Lan, you ask someone to tell Feng Yue to pay attention to Hu Qianyue’s acts. I’m afraid that she won’t move out of our King Xuan’s Manor so easily,” Mo Xuetong said to Mo Lan, who was standing beside her after thinking for a while.

“Okay, I will go and tell him right now.” Mo Lan knew that this matter could not be delayed. She nodded immediately and turned around to leave. Since Miss Hu had intentionally hidden the fact that she could perform martial arts, she must have wanted to use it at certain times. Mo Lan did not mind if she plotted against someone else, but she would not allow her to plot against Consort Xuan.
