Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 74

Chapter 74
Hong Li's words struck a raw nerve in He Xiangyu . It's not that he hasn't entered my room for a very long time, but that he has never set foot in it .





In front of others, Prince Hao bestowed the hairpin to me and permitted me to enter the imperial palace . Although this is a tremendous honour in everyone else's eyes, only I know the bitter feelings a . s . sociated with it .

Ruo Yuan saw He Xiangyu's dejected expression and couldn't bear to watch any longer . Hence, she remarked to Hong Li softly, "She's rather pitiful . Despite being taken into the Beauty Palace and having a period of glory, it seems like Prince Hao doesn't care about her anymore . As the days pa . s . s by, she's going to lose her youthful looks . At that time, she will be even more pitiful . Let's not disparage her any further . "

In fact, Ruo Yuan was completely unaware that she had inadvertently 'stabbed' He Xiangyu . Hong Li could no longer hold her laughter in and giggled . She had actually been prejudiced against Ruo Yuan in the past . But now that I look at her again, she's actually so adorable .





Su Xi-er's expression didn't change as she suppressed the smile that almost reached the corners of her mouth .

He Xiangyu's expression abruptly darkened . I'm actually being ridiculed by a fat woman . No matter what my plight is, I'm still better than a fat woman .

However, this is not the time to be madly quarrelling with them . He Xiangyu understood this point very well .

Hence, she said, "Su Xi-er, I haven't seen you in a very long time . There are some words I would like to have with you in private . " He Xiangyu paused at this moment to look pointedly at Hong Li and Ruo Yuan .

Su Xi-er pa . s . sed her cloth bundle to Ruo Yuan . "You two return to the room first and tidy it up . I'll go over later . "

Hong Li glanced at her before casting a meaningful look at Ruo Yuan and heading off .

After the two left, He Xiangyu walked closer to Su Xi-er and stopped roughly three metres away from her . "In the past, you were timid and afraid of getting involved . When you were bullied and hurting from your injuries, I carefully waited upon you by your side and braved dangers to steal medicine from Old Maidservant Zhao's room for you . Every time, I would work as fast as possible so that I could help you . Afterwards, when I provoked someone I shouldn't have, it was you who willingly went to take the blame . I didn't force you . "





Su Xi-er watched He Xiangyu silently . Without the memories of the previous Su Xi-er, there's little point in He Xiangyu telling me all this .

"All human hearts are made of flesh . After taking the blame, your work changed from sweeping the palace path to scrubbing the chamber pots . I, on the other hand, happened to meet Prince Hao while sweeping the palace path . I also didn't forget about you after entering the Beauty Palace . But you . . . aren't you clear about what you have done? Coming back to bite the hand that feeds you, you've caused me to be bitterly disappointed . How could I continue to treat you well?"


He Xiangyu's eyes were overflowing with a pained look .

Since she's playing this move with me, I have to give her some face . Su Xi-er sighed . "I remember all about how you have treated me well in the past . Since I had taken the blame for you, we shall write off our past grat . i . tude and grudges once and for all . "

He Xiangyu harrumphed loudly . "Write off once and for all? How can it be that easy? Su Xi-er, you have had a radiant and beautiful appearance since you were young, and you have gotten even more beautiful with time . If Prince Hao sees you, he will definitely take you into the Beauty Palace . If you come here, you and I will be complete arch-enemies . "

He Xiangyu's expression suddenly changed once she reached this point before she switched to a commanding tone . "That's why you must leave the Beauty Palace . No matter what it is, you are not allowed to be here! Someone has actually died in this room!"

Su Xi-er's intonation was raised as she replied with an "oh" . Then, she pretended as if she had suddenly realised something . "It can't be that s . h . i . + Liu was killed by you, right?"

He Xiangyu was taken aback, but quickly refuted, "Su Xi-er, don't slander me venomously! How could I have killed her when I was in my own courtyard that day? Su Xi-er, you have surprisingly gotten eloquent . On account of our old friends . h . i . +p, let me remind you of one thing: it isn't so easy to stay in the Beauty Palace . "
