Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 422

Chapter 422

CHAPTER 422 (1): WHO IS IT

Bafflement emerged in Su Xi-er’s eyes .  Who could it be? I don’t know many women in Beimin .  She stood up and went to ask the guard, “What does the young lady look like?”

“Replying to the Princess Consort, she has a slim figure, and possesses a pair of sword-like eyebrows along with a heroic aura . ” The guard respectfully answered . Since they were a rare trait in women, the visitor’s eyebrows had been her most memorable trait .

Hearing about the heroic sword-like eyebrows, Su Xi-er was reminded of someone ー Mei Jinxiu .  Isn’t she in Nanzhao? Did she come to Beimin?

“So it’s her . I’ll go out and take a look . ” Su Xi-er walked out of the room .

Although Pei Qianhao didn’t realise who the woman outside was, he didn’t say anything after seeing Su Xi-er’s confidence . He had enough faith in her to know that she would only head out if she knew who it was .

Clad in a gold-trimmed crimson dress, the hem of her clothing fluttered in the wind as she walked .

Outside the entrance of the residence, Su Xi-er saw Mei Jinxiu dressed in coarse clothes .  As I thought, it’s indeed her .

Mei Jinxiu yelled when she caught sight of Su Xi-er . “Su Xi-er, it’s great that you’re fine!”

When the guard heard Mei Jinxiu calling Su Xi-er by her name, he immediately berated, “Audacious woman! How can you directly call the Princess Consort by her name?”

“It’s fine, I know her . ” Su Xi-er smiled at the guard, then looked towards Mei Jinxiu . “Let’s talk in the main hall . ”

Mei Jinxiu nodded and quickly followed Su Xi-er to the main hall . Watching Su Xi-er’s back, Mei Jinxiu found that the former had a different air about her .  She was very beautiful in the past, but there’s now also a sense of elegant charm to her . I can’t tell what it is; maybe it’s just the unique aura of Princess Consort Hao .

Ruo Yuan and Hong Li were already waiting beside the main hall, and were thrown for a loop when they saw Su Xi-er walking in with another woman .  Who is she?

“Ruo Yuan, Hong Li, quickly boil a pot of good tea and bring it here . ” Su Xi-er instructed them .

“This servant will get to it now . ” Ruo Yuan and Hong Li respectfully replied before swiftly walking towards the backyard, understanding that they still needed to show the necessary formalities in front of others .

Mei Jinxiu looked at Su Xi-er .  I’m still not quite used to calling her ‘Princess Consort’, but it’s not good for me to directly call her by her name .

Noticing Mei Jinxiu’s awkwardness, Su Xi-er heartily laughed . “Miss Mei, you have a casual and straightforward personality . Everyone in the residence is on our side, so you can drop the formalities . ”

Mei Jinxiu heaved a sigh of relief . “Seeing that you’re fine, I can finally be relieved . I had originally planned to inform you of Prince Yun’s arrival in Beimin, but I ran into Commandery Prince Xie on the way . Deceived by him, I was held captive in his residence . It was only thanks to the Commandery Princess that I was able to escape . ”

I didn’t expect Mei Jinxiu to have gone through so much, even being captured by Xie Yun .  Seeing her clear eyes, Su Xi-er could tell that Mei Jinxiu had been sincerely worried . “Miss Mei, many thanks for your kind intentions . How is your medical clinic doing?”

Mei Jinxiu laughed unrestrainedly as she waved her hand . “Let’s not talk about that . You already know about me making the medicinal powder for that Pei Anru, and you probably also know that Lord Pei asked me to treat the young lady afterwards . However, I wasn’t able to completely undo the effects of the powder, and Lord Pei kept me captive in the Pei Residence . After all that, and being captured by the Commandery Prince afterwards, the matters of my medicinal clinic have been significantly delayed . ”

After hearing about Mei Jinxiu’s experiences, Su Xi-er suddenly reached out with her right hand . “Miss Mei, I suddenly lost my strength yesterday, but I didn’t consume anything else other than the sweet red date soup . Please help me take my pulse . ”
