The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 978
Ye Wushuang stood glued to the spot, not understanding this unclear situation.
Oi! I am an article!
Emperor Qi instead flipped over Ye Wushuang's stiff body, helping her walk up to the front of the dressing table, after Ye Wushuang sat down, Emperor Qi gently combed Ye Wushuang's hair with his ten fingers.
“Emperor....” Ye Wushuang exclaimed loudly in surprise at the treatment he received.
Oi! I am an article!
Emperor Qi is still busy with his actions: “I will comb your hair.”
“But....”.
“Sstt.... look at us in the mirror, we are very compatible.”
Ye Wushuang turned her head and looked at her who was in the mirror.
Oi! I am an article!
Emperor Qi stood behind him with a deep eye gaze, his bright yellow satin robe further accentuating his unusually handsome facial features, as if the face was carved.
As for herself, her hair was already like silk, so pure and peerless, so beautiful and indeed complementary to the person before her. No matter how they looked, they were already like a very compatible couple.
Ye Wushuang stared at the mirror in a daze for a long time.
Even for a moment he had an illusion, as if he had fallen into a beautiful dream. In the dream, they love and respect each other, living together until old age.
But before long, Ye Wushuang suddenly saw the appearance of another person in the mirror.
That person was wearing a golden purple colored outfit, his appearance was clean and handsome, that person was looking at him calmly. His red lips moved and seemed to be calling the name “Wushuang”.
Suddenly Ye Wushuang seemed to wake up from a nightmare, she stood up from the bench in panic, looking nervously at the scene outside the window.
Ji Xingyun could see Ye Wushuang's trembling heart, Ji Xingyun closed her eyes, then a hint of arrogance appeared on her handsome face. It seemed like there was indeed someone else in Ye Wushuang's heart.
Ji Xingyun's tone of voice was no longer as gentle and loving as earlier, her tone turning cold and firm.
Ye Wushuang turned her head, not daring to look at him, Ye Wushuang simply lowered her gaze and said: “Emperor just say it, I listened to him.”
“You stayed in Pingzhou for some time, how does that place compare to the Capital?” Ji Xingyun asked in a deep voice, putting her hands behind her back, her resolute face turned towards Ye Wushuang seriously.
Ye Wushaung reviewed the forced smile and pretended to be calm: “The capital is very prosperous, Pingzhou is remote and barren. One is like the sky and the other is like the earth, nothing compares.”
“Then do you think, I sent a person like Prince Ping to such a place, is that too much for him to be persecuted?” The words spoken in a joking tone, no doubt this was already like a huge thunder that shook the sky and was instantly struck over Ye Wushuang's head.
Ye Wushuang raised her eyes in astonishment, not knowing how to answer.
Ji Xingyun instead stepped forward with deep meaning, looking at Ye Wushuang with eyes of hatred and accusation.
“Emperor set Prince Ping in Pingzhou, of course the Emperor has his own purpose, I am only a woman, so I do not deserve to comment.”
“Really? Then if I move it back to the Capital, what do you think?”
“I don't know, it's all up to the Emperor!”
“Then I'll move it back.”
Ji Xingyun said firmly, her black eyes did not turn away from Ye Wushuang at all. Ye Wushuang did not know what the meaning of this gaze was, but there was a bad feeling that appeared in her heart.
Witnessing the departure of Emperor Qi, Yangui finally quietly walked out of the side hall.
Yangui held a white porcelain jade bowl filled with a pitch-black medicine in his hand, this was the medicine that Consort Ye personally prepared. Every time the Emperor spent the night here, Consort Ye would take this medicine, so today was no exception either.
“To scare me, Concubine Ye, I have waited a long time in the side hall, I don't think the Emperor will leave today. Look, this medicine is cold, do I have to reheat it?” Yangui patted his own chest with a relieved expression.
Ye Wushuang looked dazed, then she took a deep breath, looked at the medicine bowl in Yangui's hand restlessly then said in a flat voice: “No need, just put it there first.”
