Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 129.2

Chapter 129.2 - Feelings between a sister and a brother

But thinking about how it was a big palace issue, she didn’t dare to interrupt her master’s affairs so she reluctantly stepped to the side.

Xiahou Liuyun then raised a brow, his mood improving a lot.

But just as he took two more steps, the door to the room suddenly swung open.

Lou Qingwu’s eyes fell on him, almost carelessly, “All come in then.”

Xiahou Liuyun and Lan Bai became silent as they followed Lou Qingwu inside.

Xiahou Liuyun took one step inside and already, couldn’t help but speak, “Miss Lou, how do you feel about my second brother?”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t that just because ….” Xiahou Liuyun was just about to say something but tried hard to hold it in.

He mumbled for half a moment before finding the appropriate phrase, “If you’re going to help second brother, then why are you getting so close to third brother? Don’t you know that what you’re doing is making second brother think that you’re …. you’re ….”

“Helping someone else?”

Xiahou Liuyun choked.

He did want to express that, but not that bluntly.

But if Lou Qingwu had already said it, he could only nod his head.

“Then, are you criticising me?”

“I ….”

Lou Qingwu’s cold eyes made Xiahou Liuyun hurry to explain, “I don’t mean it like that. It’s just that … that … second brother’s mood isn’t good lately and adding on to what’s being spread around … Miss Lou, I’m sorry but I really didn’t mean it like that.”

She looked at Xiahou Liuyun’s guilty eyes and sighed, “Okay, just remember that no matter who I became close with, there’s one thing that will never change.”

“What?”

“I will help him s.n.a.t.c.h the position of crown prince.”

Xiahou Liuyun’s eyes instantly brightened, “Miss Lou, you really are still willing to help second brother?”

“When did I say I wasn’t willing?”

“No-nothing, hehehe, isn’t that just because of those rumours … made me and second brother so worried.”

Xiahou Liuyun unnaturally rubbed the back of his head.

Lou Qingwu looked at him, “Some things aren’t just what the seem so you can’t always just rely on your eyes. Furthermore, if it’s just hearsay.”

“With Miss Lou’s words, I can rest easy. But,” Suddenly thinking of something, Xiahou Liuyun looked at Lou Qingwu, unable to help but say, “There is one thing that I was hoping Miss Lou could help out with?”

“What is it?”

“Well, it’s not actually me, but … second brother.”

“What happened to him?”

Xiahou Liuyun hesitated, “Miss Lou, maybe you should take a look for yourself …”

In the capital’s biggest tea house, Xiahou Rui closed himself in a private room and drowned himself with alcohol, downing one gla.s.s after another.

In his mind, the song from the pink hibiscus festival would play, over and over again like a small, sharp knife that kept twisting his heart.

It twisted and cut until slowly, slowly he grew numb and without feeling.

The more he drank, the more he felt like he wasn’t drunk.

“Clang”

The room’s door suddenly pushed open as Xiahou Rui looked up, his eyes falling dazedly on the person at the doorway.

He froze, completely stunned.

He thought, maybe this time he was actually drunk.

Otherwise, how could he see Miss Lou appear in front of him?

Xiahou Rui pushed against the table to sway as he tried to slowly stand up.

His large frame cast a shadow on the table.

Lou Qingwu narrowed her eyes as she walked towards him.

Right until she walked up to him did her calm eyes fall on the mess of wine bottles on the table.

Her brows furrowed, “Second prince, you’re ….”

“Miss Lou!”

Lou Qingwu hadn’t even finished her sentence before suddenly being strongly roped into Xiahou Rui’s arms.

Lou Qingwu’s brows furrowed deeper as she tried to push at him to get out but Xiahou Rui just held onto her even tighter.
