Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 153.1

Chapter 153.1 - Kindness and power as tools

The old madam’s harsh eyes fell on the person who came and suddenly stopped.

The senior aide next to her helped support her up, she stood, “Third, third prince, why are you here?”

“Old madam, no need to be so courteous.” Xiahou Qing quickly walked over to support her, pushing her back into her seat.

His thin lips moved, “Today is Jingsheng’s big day, this little prince will obviously come and take a look.”

Once something happened to Fan Yi, he knew that this old madam definitely wouldn’t let go of Li Jingsheng easily.

Li Jingsheng was his future right and left arm, so he definitely had to take this trip.

This time, using kindness and power as a tool, would make Li Jingsheng even more loyal to him.

As for Lou Lianxin ….

His eyes swept at her apathetically, the Lou Lianxin who was still sprawled on the ground from where she fell down.

No one dared to help her up.

So at this time, he was the only one who could act as a mediator.

But maybe it was because when Lou Lianxin fell, she hurt her foot, but when she stood up, her body fell to the side and nearly into Xiahou Qing’s embrace.

She panicked as her big rabbit-like eyes blinked at him, teary, “Your-your majesty …”

Lou Lianxin’s pitiful little expression was perfect, like a little hand scratching at Xiahou Qing’s heart.

His eyes, under the sunlight, darkened.

He smiled as he let go, “Be careful in the future.”

After he finished speaking, he turned to face the old woman.

When he spoke, he exuded royal grace but also a bit of respect, making the old madam feel slightly fearful but also reverent.

Lou Lianxin stood dazedly, watching Xiahou Qing’s tall figure with love-struck eyes, like he was a deity that descended to the mortal plane.

All she could remember was the gentle smile he showed her.

She looked down, her dirt-covered fingers gripping tightly.

They weren’t white and delicate any more.

She was a bit angry at how she could be so angry.

She’d just used these dirty fingers to cling onto the third prince, she definitely left a bad impression.

The more frustrated she got, the more her heart started to hurt.

Why was it that she met the third prince today?

If it was a month or two months ago, she wouldn’t have let herself fall to this wretched place.

Li Jingsheng didn’t know what Lou Lianxin was thinking, he just let out a relieved breath when Xiahou Qing came, appreciation and gratitude rushing in his heart in waves.

The third prince actually came here for such a small matter, for him, made him unable to repay this favour.

If it wasn’t for him harbouring his own motives, he wouldn’t have let Fan Yi get caught, causing this awkward and embarrassing scene.

So he could only blame himself on being too inexperienced, unable to control his own feelings.

Xiahou Qing’s arrival turned everything on its head.

In front of the third prince, the old madam didn’t dare to continue tormenting Lou Lianxin so Lou Lianxin was quickly sent into the new bridal rooms.

She put on her wedding veil again and waited for Li Jingsheng.

Li Jingsheng personally escorted Xiahou Qing out of the residence when he received news that the right prime minister Li Miao had come, he was exceptionally overjoyed.

When he left the residence did Li Jingsheng finally, uneasily, lower his head in shame.

“Your majesty, this time, it was this subordinate who was wrong.”

“It’s not your fault. It’s the oriole behind the mantis and the cicada. Even if it wasn’t Fan Yi, it’d be someone else.” But right now, they still couldn’t find out who was behind everything.

That person seemed to be able to see through his every step, carefully plotting his every step to make sure he was left with only scraps.

It made him furious, but also helpless.
