Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 220.2

Chapter 220.2 - It's a vixen

The emperor's words fell as not only Lou Qingwu and Xiahou Qing, but the silent Xiahou Rui, all suddenly lifted up their heads in disbelief.

How could he have thought that his father-emperor would choose to marry off Miss Lou?

His body shot upright before the seventh prince Xiahou Liuyun pressed down on his arm.

“Second brother, don't be impulsive!”

“But …”

“Believe in Miss Lou, she'll be able to deal with it.”

Xiahou Rui grew silent as he looked at Lou Qingwu with slightly bitter eyes.

After a long time, he finally closed his eyes and nodded his head.

Xiahou Liuyun then let go of his hands but when he looked at the emperor, his eyes were slightly complicated.

What was his father-emperor thinking?

Why did he want to send Miss Lou away?

Lou Qingwu's red lips were tightly pursed together.

Everyone's eyes all fell on her and Xiahou Qing.

Some were congratulatory, some were playful and some were more like the Countess of Chaoxia and filled with contempt.

She calmly looked at the table in front of her before lifting up her head, her eyes regaining their usual composure as she slowly stood up.

As if she didn't see the eyes on her from all four directions, she looked towards the emperor before walking towards the third princess Xiliang Feiyue's side.

Xiahou Qing's eyes were a bit dazed.

He didn't think it would be like this as he also joined them at the centre of the hall.

His brows were knitted as he tried to think of his next step.

Lou Qingwu's eyes were half lowered, hiding her emotions.

If the emperor wanted her to willingly marry, then he'd have to first ask.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, a voice behind her announced ---

“Night Prince has arrived!”

Following this voice, Feng Yege wore the dark purple of a royal prince as he strode in.

His figure was long as the colours complemented his handsome face, giving him a cold aura.

When he reached the centre of the hall, his phoenix eyes looked up as he greeted, “Ye greets the emperor!”

“Night Prince, why have you come?” The emperor saw Feng Yege and his eyelid twitched, he suddenly had a bad feeling that tonight's banquet was going to go as well as he envisaged.

Indeed, in the next moment, Feng Yege's low voice rang out with conviction, “Ye asks to marry the left prime minister's eldest daughter, Lou Qingwu as consort!”

Feng Yege's words made everyone freeze.

The emperor's face grew dark but the person underneath didn't move.

His brows grew furrowed, “Night Prince, this emperor has already decided to marry the Countess of Rende to Xiliang country's fifth prince. Night Prince, your actions are really making things difficult for this emperor.”

“Has the emperor already laid down an imperial edict?”

“Not yet.”

“Then I hope that the emperor would consider it because Ye must marry Miss Lou, or I won't marry at all!” Feng Yege's composure and words were strong, making the emperor's brows furrow even tightly.

What was wrong with the Night Prince today?

He was clearly not following the path the emperor was making for him.

But when he thought of the empress dowager, he could only grit his teeth and not touch him for the time being.

He rubbed his forehead and was about to continue to say something before Xiahou Qing saw this and couldn't hold it in any more, falling to his knees immediately and kneeling down, “Father-emperor, I would also like to ask for Miss Lou's hand in marriage!”
