67 Yuwen Hong, She Said? (1/2)

WEI LI LIAN

PRINCESS LE-ANNE

HOUGONG

Le-anne was relieved because of Grand General's departure and with that, she slept for the rest of the afternoon, shivering because of the cold that engulfed her.

He didn't know it but if he took her, her mission would be over. People would think they were romantically involved, which would get her killed or cast out by her mistress. She was the emperor's woman as a palace maid and could not be with anyone else. On top of that, she didn't want to lose her mistress; not when she had worked so hard to build a relationship with her.

Grand Consort Shu slipped into bed next to her. Le-anne was not sure when it was that she started sharing the bed with her but didn't question it either. She did not like sleeping on the floor and much preferred the bed too.

”How are you feeling Li'er?”

”Still hot but better,” she sighed.

Grand Consort Shu measured her temperature by the back of her hand. Her small hand was soft like feathers due to her ritual of oiling.

”Li'er, how do you know Yuwen Hong?”

Le-anne yawned sleepily. ”Who?”

”The Grand General.”

Yuwen Hong. That was his name?

She met him during an attempt to steal from him. ”I met him before I entered the palace when I was travelling.”

Grand Consort rested her head on her palm as she lay on her side to watch her. ”He is handsome and quite striking don't you think?”

Was that a trick question? ”He is alright.”

Grand General was more than good looking. His eyes were piercing hazel, his jaw beautifully crafted and his body ripped.

”I bet his mother is as beautiful,” Grand Consort dreamily said.

Obviously, she would be. Le-anne pictured what his mother probably looked like. A grey haired woman who was aging well.

”I wouldn't hate you if you thought he was handsome,” her mistress kept pushing the topic.

Oh no, what did the Grand General tell her? Worst thing is she could not rely on him to have her back.

”Li'er do you like him?”

”No,” Le-anne flat out denied. She didn't like him. Before she was confused, but why she was not thinking straight was beyond her. He was the cause of her problems, responsible for the delay in her mission.
