Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 103

Chapter 103
Su Xi-er could tell that Pei Qianhao was furious from the anger that was emanating from his whole body . Where did his anger come from? Is it because I was talking to Yun Ruofeng? She quickly rejected this theory .





Pei Qianhao held her by her waist as he brought her into his horse carriage . Shortly after, the entourage continued forward .

It was strangely quiet in the horse carriage . After Pei Qianhao got in, he stopped paying attention to Su Xi-er and simply let her sit there in silence .

Naturally, Su Xi-er didn't take the initiative to talk to him either . She sat against the wall of the horse carriage and observed the streets through the gap between the curtains .

Lotus Flower County hasn't changed much from before . Under the new policy, Nanzhao is to be governed by virtuosity . It seems that Yun Ruofeng didn't remove this part of the governance . How about other parts of the new policy?

Logically, He must have removed some things from the new policy . Otherwise, Yun Ruofeng wouldn't have been able to subdue the rich and powerful .





"Su Xi-er, do you admit to your crime?" Pei Qianhao asked coldly . From the time that she had gotten on the horse carriage, she had been absentmindedly staring out the window, showing not the slightest inclination to beg for mercy .

Did she completely forget that she had slapped me?

Su Xi-er answered respectfully, "This servant admits that I have committed a crime . Prince Hao, does your face still hurt?"

Her first sentence was expected, but the second sentence was surprising . Should I say that my face hurts, or that it doesn't? If I say that it hurts, it will sound like I'm weak to the point a single slap can hurt me - impossible . If I say that it doesn't hurt, isn't it the same as admitting that I should let her off with a simple punishment since it's a minor matter?

No matter how I answer this, Su Xi-er will be the one at an advantage . What a clever mouth!

A subtle glint flickered across Pei Qianhao's eyes, "Does it matter if it hurts or not? Don't tell me that you want this prince to give you a slap? This prince doesn't have a hobby of hitting women . "

Su Xi-er replied, "You won't personally hit a woman, but will you punish them . "

This soft counterattack was just right .

Pei Qianhao curled up the corners of his mouth, his tone raised . "This prince can make an exception for you . I haven't tried hitting a woman personally . Come here and raise your head . "

He is asking me to come forward and raise my head high for him to slap? Is he really going to slap me? I was impulsive in slapping him, but I don't regret it . After contemplating for a moment, Su Xi-er quietly walked forward, her head raised high and eyes closed . If he wants to slap me then let him .

After waiting for a long time, she still hadn't felt the slap .





Suddenly, the smell of a man wafted into her nose . Su Xi-er opened her eyes quickly, only to see a handsome face up close .


She leaned back and tried to move backwards quickly, but her back touched the frigid wall of the horse carriage: there was no room to retreat .

"You had your eyes closed, so how can this prince hit you? You clearly looked like you wanted to be kissed . "

"What does this servant have to do to make Prince Hao satisfied?" Am I supposed to kneel on the ground and pretend that I'm begging to be slapped? It was clearly him who asked me to come forward and raise my head . He didn't say if I could close my eyes or not .

"You should have already seen how a servant is flogged . " Pei Qianhao's reminded her with a flat tone .

Su Xi-er immediately understood . Someone being flogged needs to be prostrated to the ground with their heads raised high as they receive the planks . So this is what he meant .

But how would he slap me if I'm prostrated on the ground with my head raised? Wouldn't he find it awkward? Or . . .

She suddenly thought of another possibility .

"When you slapped this prince, why did you not think about how you would be punished? What you were like yesterday reminded me of the woman I met in the woods beside the Palace Side Quarters . " His eyes were deep and unreadable, with a trace of playfulness .

He is mentioning the woods near the Palace Side Quarters again . I won't admit that it was me . Slapping him is one thing, but knocking him out is another .

This time, Pei Qianhao didn't wait for Su Xi-er's answer . He used his hands to control her body, and used the strength in his legs to pin her to the floor of the carriage .

The imperial guard who was driving the horse carriage felt a jolt in the carriage and his expression changed . What is Prince Hao doing in the horse carriage? Why did the carriage suddenly shake?
