Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 64.1

Chapter 64.1 - Position of crown prince

Lou Qingwu looked at him coldly, “Second prince, can you guarantee that you won’t immediately go find them to take revenge for the empress after you find out who they are?”

“Of course …” He spoke half way before Xiahou Rui’s voice completely stopped.

Before capturing the culprit, he could be calm.

But the moment that he saw the d.a.m.n criminal that nearly ruined his empress-mother, how could he remain calm?

He was afraid ….

“Second prince, your concern would just mess things up. So I won’t tell you and obviously, there’s a reason for that. Seeing as how there are people protecting her and we can’t find people to take revenge, why not … take the opportunity to strengthen your power? As long as you’re able to firmly wield power in your hands, then at that time, even if they did want to harm you, they’d have to think twice.”

Xiahou Rui’s tall figure swayed, “You …”

“To be merciful to your enemies is to be merciless to yourself. I don’t have to tell you what you should do and what you shouldn’t do, right?”

Even if he wouldn’t s.n.a.t.c.h the position of the crown prince, it didn’t mean that everyone else wouldn’t either!

As he’s already been forced into this position, then he might as well die and be reborn.

Xiahou Rui took half a day before he could move his eyes away from Lou Qingwu’s face.

He forcefully scrubbed at his face.

“I know what I should do. I’ll prepare later.”

She wasn’t wrong.

If he didn’t want what happened that night to repeat itself, then what he should be doing, wasn’t just simply finding the deeply hidden culprit.

But to be reborn, because he too could use power to unanimously topple the situation to his favour!

“You, why do you want to help me?” From the beginning of the birthday banquet, she took step by step into his eyes.

The amount of surprise and shock she’d given him was too much.

Lou Qingwu looked in one direction, her eyes empty and hazy, bringing a hint of something that Xiahou Rui couldn’t understand.

“Because, we’re people on the same road. We both have … people we want to protect.”

So, they would be destined to be together …

Lou Qingwu had just come out of the palace and towards the calmly waiting horse carriage in front of the Vermillion Bird carriage.

She got on the carriage and just as the carriage started moving, she lifted up a curtain to look towards the palace.

Xiahou Rui still stood there, standing upright with his hands behind his back.

She couldn’t see his expression clearly but she seemed to feel the resolution in his eyes.

She believed that the next time that she entered the palace, everything would change incredibly.

And before that, she had to do what she could do to make sure that he’d easily gain the position of crown prince.

As long as he could get on that position, then he’d be one step closer to the emperor’s seat.

And then it would also mess up that person’s steps.

The carriage moved slowly, gradually disappearing from Xiahou Rui’s sight as it moved not too fast or too slow on the busy streets.

When it reached the East streets, it faced a marriage procession.

The carriage couldn’t avoid it so it could only wait to the side, letting the bustling palanquins move past the carriage.

Their line of sights were blocked as they accidentally just pa.s.sed each other.

When the procession had gone far away, the carriage finally began to start moving.

But on the road side, a handsome young gentleman appeared in a white gown.

Lou Qingwu tugged at the clothes and fanned herself, slowly and unhurriedly making her way towards the Night Prince’s residence.

When she reached the entrance, the housekeeper had been waiting there for a long time.

When he first saw Lou Qingwu, his eyes quickly moved away until Lou Qingwu stood before him and didn’t move.

Only then did he measure him up and down before suddenly freezing, hurrying to bow, “Miss ….”

“Uncle housekeeper can call me gentleman Mu.”

“Ah, good! Yes, yes, gentleman Mu, please!” Even though he didn’t know why Miss Lou was wearing a male outfit, he did have to acknowledge that this was a lot more convenient.

The housekeeper welcomed Lou Qingwu to Qingge little building and then left.

Lou Qingwu pushed open the door to enter but there wasn’t anyone inside, it was strangely quiet.

But the air had a faint smell that seemed to come and go.

It was an extremely clear and light scent like the smell of a certain someone.

TL note:

Accidentally just pa.s.sed each other -  more accurately, it’s more like when you brush shoulders with someone and miss someone you could’ve met. But saying “accidentally just missed each other” kinda makes it seem like they were about to get in a car crash.

Disappointed it wasn’t a new love rival, love rival #432893?
