Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 31

Chapter 31
At 4 . 30am, Su Xi-er and Ruo Yuan had finished scrubbing all the chamber pots clean before moving them to the wooden cabin at the southwest corner .





Afterwards, the two of them returned to their rooms respectively . Ruo Yuan swung her plump bottoms as she vanished into the moonlight . As Su Xi-er looked her current appearance, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised .

When she realised her own mood, Su Xi-er's gaze became distant . How long has it been since I have been in such a good mood . Being together with Ruo Yuan is like having Lü Liu at my side .

The next morning, Su Xi-er was woken up by the sounds of palace maids gossiping outside of her room .

"The woodhouse at the northwest corner was burning with a raging inferno last night . I wonder when it began burning . "

"Exactly! Even the house's main beams were charred . There was no lightning yesterday, and the weather hasn't been particularly dry either . With all that said, I wonder why the woodhouse suddenly caught fire for no reason?"





"Liu Ye-er died there, leaving too many grievances acc . u . mulated . Thus, it began burning!"

With how loud the maids were being, Su Xi-er was unable to continue sleeping no matter how much she wanted to . In the end, she simply got up and closed her eyes as she leaned against the side of the bed .

The house at the northwest corner is gone due to the conflagration . That wooden table is also gone . The only thing left that can corroborate the connection between Liu Ye-er and County Prince Xie is this woven silk fabric that I had taken .

She didn't carry the woven silk fabric with her, but instead hid it in the cupboard .

Imperial Bodyguard Wu must have placed Liu Ye-er's body in the woodhouse last night, disposing of both with one toss of a torch . From now on, Liu Ye-er has truly vanished .

Liu Ye-er had an inseparably close relations . h . i . +p with County Prince Xie, but was reduced to such an end . In that case, what would He Xiangyu's outcome be like? And what will become of me?

She felt a slight headache coming as her as these thoughts ran through her head . Raising her left hand to ma . s . sage her forehead, she was also able to see her left wrist . The pain and swelling have already faded away .

The effectiveness of the medicinal powder is even better than I imagined, almost completely healing my injury after just two applications .

At the moment, Su Xi-er didn't know that although the medicinal powder Prince Hao gave her was similar to the Third Imperial Prince's, there was an additional medicinal herb in it . This kind of herb was colourless and odourless . It could treat bruises rapidly, and out of the whole of Beimin Nation, Prince Hao was the only one who possessed it .

"Su Xi-er, are you already awake? Old Maidservant Liu asked you to go to her room . " Hong Li's voice could be heard from outside the door .





"I happened to have just woken up . I'll be coming now . " Su Xi-er immediately climbed up from her bed, donned an outer robe, straightened out her clothes, and combed her hair before walking out .


"Quickly go and freshen up; I have set aside breakfast," Hong Li told her with a smile .

Su Xi-er nodded . She ran to the area where the palace maids freshened up and swiftly washed her face .

After eating her breakfast, she headed for Old Maidservant Liu's room .

Upon opening the door, one would see Old Maidservant Liu drinking tea inside .

After she saw Su Xi-er, she smiled and waved her hand at her . "You slept very late last night, yet you were called here by me early this morning . Are you sleepy?"

Su Xi-er walked in and bowed respectfully as she paid her greetings, "This servant isn't sleepy . Many thanks for being concerned, Old Maidservant . "

"Come over here and drink a cup of tea . This is spring tea offered by other nations this year . I only have one small jar, so I can't bear to drink it . " Old Maidservant Liu's face was wreathed in smiles, causing the wrinkles beside her eyes to become even more p . r . o . nounced .

Su Xi-er knew that spring tea dripped with rain dew used the best tea leaves . Many tea harvesters plucked the spring tea, made them into tea leaves, and preserved them by sealing them up . However, even the county landlords weren't able to drink this spring tea . An overwhelming majority had to be offered to the court, while the rest was purchased by the very affluent and n . o . ble households .

"Old Maidservant, you should keep this tea for yourself to enjoy slowly . This servant doesn't understand tea; it's a waste even if I drink it . "

The smile in Old Maidservant Liu's eyes deepened, but her gaze landed on the fragrance sachet at Su Xi-er's waist . "In the Palace Side Quarters, the palace maid who understands the rules the best is you . The fragrance sachet at your waist is very uniquely embroidered . Which master bestowed it to you?"
