Blood-Sucking Empress - Chapter 61

Finally, after Murong Xuanhe fell into a deep slumber, Qianhe Liyou came out of Anxuan Palace with a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but feel slightly annoyed. Murong Xuanhe’s words also lingered in her mind, making her mind full of images of children, growing up and the like, but at the same time she recalled that she had not visited Luo Weiqing for quite some time. She wondered if he was okay after last time?

Qianhe Liyou remembered that before she had left last time, Luo Weiqing’s face contained a shy, charming and happy expression, so she decided to visit Luo Weiqing’s palace. 

On the way there, Qianhe Liyou suddenly heard the sound of two people arguing in the wind. She was not familiar with such situations, didn’t know who it was, and could not help but follow the noise to take a look.

“Qianhe Qiuyi, you must not bully intolerably, it will not be good for anyone if you make a mountain out of a molehill. If you dare to mess around again, I will report this matter to the Imperial Older Sister, and at that time, no one will have a good time!” There was a hint of cruelty laced in that immature sounding voice, and as Qianhe Liyou investigated the situation, she found that the source of the voice was from a boy dressed in plain white garments, looking to be about eleven or twelve years old, possessing an extremely delicate appearance.

She did not recognize this young boy and even previous memories of the part in question were very vague and sporadic. But the name “Qianhe Qiuyi” that came from the boy’s mouth was a name she recognized. This was the 14th Imperial prince, Qianhe Qiuyi. Her 14th younger brother who was currently 15 years old.

“Qianhe Wushuang, watch your tone, I am your Imperial Older Brother, don’t always use Imperial Older Sister’s name to scare me, do you really think the Imperial Older Sister will take care of such matters? No one is allowed to rob this prince’s people, moreover, he is more than delighted to serve me. If you don’t believe me, Hua Yu, just tell the 15th Imperial Prince, aren’t you willing to serve this Imperial Prince?”

It turns out that the 14th Imperial Prince Qianhe Qiuyi was talking to the 15th Imperial Prince Qianhe Wushuang and there were several attendants standing beside them. Among them, a girl approximately 15 or 16 years years old, her appearance elegant and refined, making others fond of her. But at this moment, she had a grave and heavy expression as she looked at the 14th Imperial Prince Qianhe Qiuyi.

“What are you looking at this Imperial Prince for, this Imperial Prince is asking you to tell the 15th Imperial Prince whether you are willing to serve by my side, just say it ah!”

Seeing this scene, Qianhe Liyou had formed a general idea. Out of the remaining Three Imperial Princes left in the palace, two of them were here and it seemed like their relationship was not very good. It was the first time she had seen Imperial Princes here in the palace, so she could not help but stay and give a few glances.

In her generation, there were altogether 15th Imperial Princesses and Princesses. Now there were three Imperial Princesses and six Imperial Princes. Three of the six Imperial Princes were already married and the remaining three were waiting to be married. Qianhe Liyou seldom paid attention to the affairs of these Princesses and Princes, but she suspected that these Imperial children would hate her very much. In order to ascend to the throne, she not only forced her mother to death, but she also commanded all the members of the harem except her biological father to accompany the previous Emperor to the afterlife, leaving these Imperial siblings as orphans with no one to look after them. However, other than that, she had not done anything else to her siblings. Their treatment was the same as before, except they had no real Imperial power.

“15th Prince, Hua Yu is merely a slave, do not disturb the palace over this slave.” Compared with Hua Yu’s appearance, her tone was very serene, but it was not difficult to detect a slightly constrained and repressed inflection in it.

“Hua Yu, you know that I have never seen you as a slave, you have taken care of me for so long…” Qianhe Wushuang anxiously explained to Hua Yu, his expression was not one of anger but rather of worry.

“Do not say it. 15th Imperial Prince, Hua Yu is a slave and will always be one. It is cold outside, your Royal Self might as well head back to the palace earlier.” Hua Yu interrupted the 15th Imperial Prince and a touch of sadness appeared in the calm expression.

“No, I will not go back! If you don’t come with me, I won’t go back anywhere!” Qianhe Wushuang stubbornly refuted, his facial expression very serious. He stepped forward to hold Hua Yu’s hand but Hua Yu stepped back. Qianhe Qiuyi stood between the two with a look of anger and said in a malicious and nasty tone, “Hey, Wushuang, you are so young and already trying to mess with women. What, does this woman serve you well and you feel reluctant now that she’s leaving?”

“Shut up, why must you slander me and Hua Yu,  you who does not understand anything, you…” Wushuang wanted to refute, but however, he was quite unscrupulous in his words, blushing anxiously and he had not spit out any contemptuous words, seeming quite cultivated.

“15th Imperial Prince. Do not say anything. Those who are pure are pure, those who are muddied are muddied!” Hua Yu looked at the 15th Imperial Prince calmly. While she may be slave, but as this time, her noble air, virtuous words, and arrogance was no less than anyone!

“Hmph, pretending to be noble and virtuous, you two sleep and eat together. What is this nonsense about those who are clean are clean. But in the future, you will be a slave to this Prince, do not go to the wrong bed and do any ugly things. At that time, don’t blame this prince for being rude.”

“Hua Yu is mine, mine. Qianhe Qiuyi, why do you have to compete with me for everything since childhood? I can give anything else indifferently to you, but I cannot give Hua Yu to you. If you insist on doing things your own way, just consider it as neither side winning. I will report this to the Imperial Older Sister, and ask for Hua Yu back!” He could give up everything, but Hua Yu was irreplaceable. For Hua Yu, he could do anything!

Qianhe Qiuyi’s face turned ashen, and his sulky eyes made him look quite scary, “Believe it or not, I can make Hua Yu disappear from this palace. At that time, even if you report this to the Imperial Older Sister, you will not be able to get Hua Yu back!”

Qianhe Wushuang had always been cowardly and just as he had stated earlier, Qianhe Qiuyi had stolen a lot of things from Qianhe Wushuang since young. Recently, he did not know what to steal next, and had taken a fancy to the attendant serving by Wushuang’s side. But he had not expected that it would cause such a big backlash and commotion and the other party even used the Imperial Older Sister to suppress him. Just who wasn’t afraid of the Empress in this palace? If he could, he certainly did not want to have any intersections with the Empress. But looking at Wushuang’s current distraught appearance, if he really snatched Hua Yu, he conjectured that it was really possible that this trouble could appear in front of the Imperial Older Sister. When the time comes, both of them would be doomed, he would not want it!

“You dare? If you dare to even hurt a hair on Hua Yu, even if I die, I will not forgive you!” Qianhe Wushuang had already lost his usual calm demeanor, his entire eyes becoming bloodshot, looking desperate enough to fight with others, looking extremely desperate…

“Ai, Wushuang, am I really that worth it to you? Calm down, I am still standing here.” Finally, Hua Yu could not help but walk forward with a light sight, directly standing opposite to Qianhe Wushuang., saying this all in a tone that made others flabbergasted hearing it.

 Qianhe Wushuang’s expression turned aggrieved, but still insisting, “You are mine!”

“Yes, I am yours.” Hua Yu seemed to shake her head helplessly, turned around and said to Qianhe Qiuyi, whose expression was worsening by the second: “Imperial 14th Prince, this slave is but a slave. You do not need to anger your Royal self over a slave like me and there is no need to disturb the Empress over such a small thing like this slave. The Imperial 15th Prince is still young and needs personal care. Hua Yu will stay by the 15th Prince to take care of him, what do you think?”

Hua Yu’s words were soft yet strong, plain yet threatening. She stood in front of Qianhe Wushuang, her calm expression a bit less humble than before, as she firmly persisted.

Qianhe Liyou could not help but show an expression of appreciation when she saw this scene. This Hua Yu’s words were really interesting….
