Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

Chapter 303: Determined To Prove Their Existence

The Pure Consort stood up.
“Big Sis Virtuous Consort, when do you plan to invite Second Miss Lu to the Palace?”

The Virtuous Consort replied helplessly, “I wanted to discuss this with all of you, but Noble Consort and Prudence Consort left in such a hurry… What do you think about tomorrow?”

The Pure Consort gave a fake-looking smile.
“Virtuous Consort, you’re the older sister.
We’ll let you make the decision.”

The Virtuous Consort hid a glare.
She knew that the Pure Consort’s words were insincere.
She just did not want to take any responsibility for this and wanted to absolve herself of all blame.

She sneered in her heart but decided not to be calculative.
“Since none of you have any objections to it, then it is decided.”

The Pure Consort nodded and left gracefully.

The superior-quality jade cup in the Virtuous Consort’s hand was soon viciously thrown to the ground.
It was smashed into pieces.

She laughed coldly.
“Every one of them does truly know how to keep up a pretense.”

They had forced her to be the villain.

Well, she was prepared to take on that role.

Lu Liangwei had been given the title of Empress by His Majesty.
Once she entered the Palace, she would take over all matters pertaining to the imperial harem.
How could she allow Lu Liangwei to enter the Palace without worrying about it day and night? She had to let Lu Liangwei know that even if she was the Empress, the Virtuous Consort would be the one who had the last say in this Palace.

When it came to qualifications, the other three could not compare to the Virtuous Consort.

So what if Lu Liangwei was the Empress? Was the Virtuous Consort not able to hold her own against a small wretch?

The Virtuous Consort sneered, not bothering to hide it as she was alone now.

Zhao Qian quietly placed the roof tile back in its place along with the rest of the roofing.

He was speechless.

These women were trouble.
His Master did not even like them.
Were they not aware that they could be sent to the Cold Palace?

They were so adamant to create extra problems.
Did it not cross their minds that they could be sent to the Cold Palace together if his master was enraged by them?

He could not understand what these women were thinking about.
Was it not a fantastic thing for them to have good food and drinks presented to them every day? Why were they so determined to prove their existence and worthiness of a title to the Emperor?

Chu Yi glanced at the roof tiles being returned and said thoughtfully, “Are they planning to harm Second Miss Lu?”

Zhao Qian gave him an incredulous look while thinking, ‘This Chu Yi might be physically gifted, but he is an extremely simple-minded fellow.’

“Could they be so stupid as to harm her openly? Do you think they do not understand the word ‘dead’?”

Chu Yi frowned.
“What were they planning, then?”

“Naturally, they want to intimidate the future Empress,” Zhao Qian gave him a condescending look and flew away from the Noble Fragrance Palace, ignoring any replies Chu Yi might have made after that.

He had just been fighting with Chu Yi for the entire journey to Noble Fragrance Palace.
They spotted the Noble Consort walking out from there with the Prudence Consort following closely behind.

What were they doing wide awake and coming here so late at night?

Their curiosity got the better of them.
Zhao Qian and Chu Yi crouched on the rooftop, removed the tiles, and eavesdropped on the conversation between the Virtuous Consort and Pure Consort.

So, they wanted to invite Second Miss Lu to the Palace?

When he heard the Virtuous Consort mention ‘tomorrow’, Zhao Qian planned to head straight for Hidden Dragon Palace.
Chu Yi was close behind.

However, Master’s sleeping quarters were dark and both of them stopped in their tracks at the same time.

“Master must have fallen asleep.
We’ll report this to him tomorrow,” said Zhao Qian.

Chu Yi was slightly puzzled.
“Master never goes to sleep so early, why did he tonight…”

Zhao Qian found it bewildering as well after Chu Yi pointed it out.

That was right.
Master never usually went to sleep early.
He would normally be going through Palace Memorials at this time in the imperial study, yet today…

The two men looked at each other, both curious.

Master was acting oddly!

The next day in the Eastern Palace…

Lu Yunshuang was slightly surprised at receiving word from a messenger sent by the Virtuous Consort.

Once the messenger left, Hong Xiu expressed her confusion, “Why would the Virtuous Consort suddenly want to invite the Crown Princess to the imperial garden to admire flowers?”

Even though no reason was given by the messenger, Lu Yunshuang knew the answer already.

“That would be because of that good sister of mine.”
