63 Ruining Concubine Sora! (1/2)

”Selena, go hide a man's shirt in Concubine Sora's courtyard,” Lucy says. Selena stills. ”Why?” Selena's gaze is heavy. Lucy lowers her eyes, fists clutching her skirts.

”She wants to hurt Mommy. She's lying!” Lucy says, cheeks puffing. She looked rather like an angry kitten. Selena blinks. ”Concubine Sora? You haven't ever met her.” Selena says.

Lucy tilts her head, making her eyes wide. ”She's the one in the 7th courtyard, right. She has an angry mind” Lucy says. Concubines without children lack the right to titled courtyards. Instead, the courtyards are numbered 1-40.Another reminder of how little Papa cared for his women.

Selena kneels, looking Lucy in the eye. ”You feel her anger and silent words?” Selena asks.

Lucy hesitates.Is it alright to share my bane? Still, Selena wouldn't hurt me. Lucy nods. ”Yes. She told her maid to tell lies about Mommy!” Lucy says, her magic stirring the air once more.

”Do you want Concubine Sora punished or gone forever?” Selena asks. Lucy traces a circle on the quilt. It glowed faintly. Lucy looks up at Selena. ”She hates Mommy and me. I don't want her to be able to hurt Mommy. Ever!” Lucy answers, eyes firm. Selena strokes Lucy's head. ”It will be done”

Selena smiles. ”Prince Jing will be here to get you soon. Let's freshen you up” Selena says. Lucy glances down at herself. She had lost beads from her shoes, lace from her bodice, and her skirts had dust all over them. Not to mention her hair had strands escaping her braid, trying to frizz.

Lucy nods, allowing Selena to tidy her as she would. ”Selena, can you tell people that Mommy gets pregnant because she's null. Papa's magic doesn't have to clash with hers to make a baby” Lucy says, while Selena wipes her down.After all, even if she thought up a countermeasure. A 2-year-old couldn't say such words to the maids.

Selena blinks. ”How clever, Little Mistress! I'll send word to the Rimes Clan. They will spread it through Jing Palace for us.” Selena answers. ”If it can't be traced back to us. We can plead ignorance if people rebuke that it's a feeble protest from an adult-” Selena coughs. ”From a woman accused of the things that Concubine Meng Lani didn't do,” Selena says.”Remember this for next time. Never spread rumors directly. Always do through someone who no one knows is related to you” Selena explains carefully. Lucy nods and closes her eyes, listening to Selena's chatter.

”Remember your magic is a secret. Don't tell your Papa,” Selena reminds,rebraiding Lucy's hair. ”I remember,” Lucy says.You've only told me so forty times. I got it!
