Chapter 428: Let Her Go Back

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This was her fault. She was too tyrannical when she was young and had disciplined him too harshly. She had thoroughly frightened her son.

All these years, Empress Jia could actually tell that her son was very afraid of her.

He was afraid that she would seize the Huangfu family’s kingdom and side with the Jia family. He was even more afraid that she would do something to him.

However, she was his mother. How could a mother lay her hands on her own son?

Now, she wanted to make up for it, but she didn’t know if it was already too late.

For a woman like Marquis Xiaoyao, the kind of man she liked was definitely different from other women.

Empress Jia’s son resembled her more. Thus, she was not worried about his external appearance.

However, it would be difficult to attract Marquis Xiaoyao with that personality of his.

Nonetheless, her son’s status was noble, which was also one of his strengths.

If she could get her son to interact more with Marquis Xiaoyao, he might very well stand a chance.

When she thought of this, Empress Jia had an idea.

Thus, she instructed the lady-in-waiting not far away, “Forget it. Go inform Marquis Xiaoyao to let her go back.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness!” The lady-in-waiting quickly answered and went out to deliver the order.

Princess Xiangyang finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Regardless of what her Empress mother was thinking, it was good that her mother was willing to let her master off.

Outside, Qin Xiaoyao’s knees were already starting to feel uncomfortable.

However, she did not dare to move and could only force herself to endure.

Xiangyang was pleading with Empress Jia on her behalf. If she did not grit her teeth and endure, Xiangyang’s efforts would be in vain.

At this moment, the lady-in-waiting walked out and smiled at Qin Xiaoyao.

“The Empress has issued her order. Marquis Xiaoyao can rise. Her Royal Highness will drop the matter raised earlier for the time being.”

When the Princess was talking to the Empress, this lady-in-waiting was standing by the side and had heard everything about Marquis Xiaoyao and her husband.

She couldn’t help but admire Marquis Xiaoyao somewhat.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a little regretful that Marquis Xiaoyao wasn’t a man.

A man with such a temperament would be hard to come by in this world.

Qin Xiaoyao was delighted.

“Please give my thanks to Her Royal Highness!” She hurriedly cupped her fists and bowed.

Then, she stood up.

As she had been kneeling for a long time, she almost fell when she tried to stand up.

The lady-in-waiting quickly stepped forward to help her upon seeing this.

Only after Qin Xiaoyao had steadied herself did the lady-in-waiting let go of her hands.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao casting a grateful look at her, the lady-in-waiting returned a faint smile.

Then, she said, “The Empress said that you can leave now, Marquis Xiaoyao.”

“Alright.” Qin Xiaoyao looked at the lady-in-waiting gratefully.

After bowing, she turned around and left Empress Jia’s sleeping chamber.

The lady-in-waiting watched as Qin Xiaoyao walked through the door of the sleeping chamber, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up into a smile.

Only then did she return to Empress Jia’s side to report to her.

In the inner chamber, Princess Xiangyang was finally relieved when she saw the lady-in-waiting returning.

She quickly found an excuse to leave and ran after Qin Xiaoyao.

After leaving Empress Jia’s sleeping chamber, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t walk very fast and Princess Xiangyang soon caught up with her.

In the horse carriage, Princess Xiangyang watched Qin Xiaoyao, who was silently resting with her eyes closed, and her face almost burst into a smile.

“I really didn’t expect this. Hehe! To think that Empress Mother actually wanted Master to be Brother Crown Prince’s primary consort.”

When she thought of her Master marrying her Brother Crown Prince, and that one of them was tough and fierce and the other was weak and timid, she couldn’t resist the urge to laugh.

She really didn’t know what her Empress mother was thinking.

By asking her Master to be the Brother Crown Prince’s primary consort, did she want Brother Crown Prince to be bullied to death?

With Brother Crown Prince’s personality, even if her Master did not do anything and just stood there, she could still frighten him.

Qin Xiaoyao shot a side glance at Princess Xiangyang.

Frightened by that look, Princess Xiangyang immediately stopped smiling.

“Not laughing anymore?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.

Princess Xiangyang quickly shook her head.

“I’m not laughing anymore,” she replied.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao shift her gaze away from Princess Xiangyang.

Following that, her tone softened considerably. “Thank you for helping me reason with Empress Jia.”

“Has the Empress given up on that idea?” she asked further.

Princess Xiangyang shook her head again.

“I don’t think so.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s face sank immediately.

Princess Xiangyang hurriedly said, “But I’ve already told my Empress mother about the matter between Master and Master’s husband.

“I also reminded her that Master’s battle prowess is unparalleled.

“After this, even if Empress Mother doesn’t give up on that idea, she probably won’t coerce Master too much.”

After all, things could only backfire when pushed to the extreme. Her Empress mother was also afraid that if she compelled her Master too aggressively, her Master might turn against her mother. It would bring danger to her mother and Brother Crown Prince.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Princess Xiangyang.

“The matter between me and my husband?” she asked.

“Yes, yes! How you lost more than 100 pounds for your husband, schemed against his family, and joined the army to kill the enemy in order to look for him.”

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.

Then, she turned to Princess Xiangyang with a menacing glare.

“Who told you all these things?”

Qin Xiaoyao did tell this girl certain things about her and her husband, but not everything.

In particular, that part about how her predecessor schemed against her mother-in-law and husband. Even her mother-in-law did not know about this.

Princess Xiangyang smiled slyly.

“Who else could it be? Big Brother Qin, of course.”

Master’s big brother was really easy to talk to.

Of course, in order to dig out these secrets, she had also put in a lot of effort.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned.

She was glad that her big brother had already left the capital. At the same time, she was glad that he didn’t know much.

“Hey, Master! I really didn’t expect you to do such a despicable thing.” Princess Xiangyang suddenly looked at Qin Xiaoyao with an evil smile.

“I wonder if Master’s husband were to find out about this…”

Qin Xiaoyao immediately glared at Princess Xiangyang.

Princess Xiangyang quickly shut her mouth.

Her Master looked so ferocious that she was scared.

“Don’t you dare have any evil thoughts. My husband already knew about this,” Qin Xiaoyao snapped testily.

“Huh?” Princess Xiangyang was surprised.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at her in annoyance.

“Huh what?”

“My husband is so smart. Do you think I can hide my little tricks from him?” Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but smile when she recalled this.

“He’s just too lazy to argue with me.”

If it was her predecessor, her husband would have exacted vengeance against her until no part of her corpse was left.

She was the one who had managed to touch him with her sincerity and gotten her husband’s deep affection in return.

Princess Xiangyang saw Qin Xiaoyao’s expression and felt a wave of mushy sentimentality in her heart.

She couldn’t help but shake her body in disgust as if she wanted to shake off the goosebumps on her body.

This made Qin Xiaoyao roll her eyes.

“Hehe! Master, now that you mention it, I am really curious now about your husband.

“I wonder if I can still get to meet him.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered as she looked at Princess Xiangyang.

“There’s no need to probe.

“I believe that my husband is still around. I will meet him again sooner or later.”

Moreover, she wouldn’t have to wait too long for this day.

Princess Xiangyang finally stopped smiling.

“But what if…”

Before she could finish, she was stopped by Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze.

“There are no ifs.”

Princess Xiangyang shut her mouth and swallowed the words she wanted to say.

With her Master’s resolute attitude, Brother Crown Prince was destined to have no hope. Her Empress Mother’s thoughts were ultimately just wishful thinking. The rest of the journey was quiet..
