Chapter 147
Anger From The Heart (Part 2)
“Imperial sister in law, Imperial sister in law….”
A loud shout sound came from outside Fei Feng palace, Bi Xin Sui who was directing the palace maids to tidy (the room) up, frowned her eyebrows. The voice sounded like Chu Yun’s, but how could she not follow any customs, and was just shouting and screaming all the way. When she was just about to go outside the palace hall to see what was going on, she just saw that Chu Yun came in rushingly like a headless housefly.
Bi Xin Sui met up with her, and only saw that her complexion looked flushed, and she was trying to gasp for breath, and there were still tree leaves that were sticking on her hair. Bi Xin Sui was alarmed in her heart, after she looked carefully again, except Chu Yun’s hair that was somewhat messy, her clothing was still neat. There should not be anyone who could bully Chu Yun inside this palace! After she could eventually feel at east, Bi Xin Sui supported Chu Yun, while she helped her to remove the leaves from her hair and helplessly asked: “Chu Yun, What is wrong with you, why do you look embarra.s.sing like this.” She estimated that it was just another trivial matter.
Chu Yun pulled Bi Xin Sui’s hand, she slightly arranged her voice, and immediately said anxiously: “I, I saw the Emperor elder brother and Murong Shu Qing just now….”
Hearing that Chu Yun mentioned the Emperor and Murong Shu Qing, Bi Xin Sui knew that Chu Yun surely saw something related to them. This certainly could not be known by other people, so Bi Xin Sui immediately interrupted Chu Yun’s words, and coldly said to the palace maids: “All of you can withdraw, do not let anybody come and disturb Bengong and the Princess.”
“Yes.” Inside the palace, there were some existed survival rules that one should not hear what should not be heard, and one should not say what should not be said, the less one knew, the longer that one could live. All of the palace maids immediately saluted and rapidly retreated out.
Leading along Chu Yun to sit down on a chair, Bi Xin Sui softly patted her hand, and comfortingly said: “Chu Yun, do not be anxious, say it slowly.”
“I just saw the Emperor elder brother and Murong Shu Qing inside the Imperial garden a moment ago, they were embracing together, and they were still….” Chu Yun remembered the scene under the moonlight that she just saw a moment ago, that play, so her face suddenly became red, and she did not know how to explain it.
Bi Xin Sui held Chu Yun’s hand tightly, and continued to ask: “And then what happened?”
Looking at Bi Xin Sui’s impatient eyes, Chu Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she lowered her head, and hesitatingly answered: “And…. and kissing!!”
Bi Xin Sui’s heart sank lower, even though she already sensed that there were certainly some feelings between the Emperor and Murong Shu Qing earlier, also looked at Chu Yun’s complexion and expression, she could also guess that their actions must be intimate. But, thinking about it and actually hearing it, were two different things, so her heart suddenly felt somewhat hurt!
Once Chu Yun finished speaking, she suddenly lifted her head up, she did not pay any attention to Bi Xin Sui’s suffering expression at all, and mindlessly blurted out: “Imperial sister in law, that Murong Shu Qing unexpectedly seduced the Emperor elder brother, she simply does not deserve Xuanyuan gege. I can not let her marry the Xuanyuan’s family, as she will disgrace his family’s status!! I want to go and tell Imperial mother, and tell Aunt Qiu, Xuanyuan gege will surely not like this kind of fickle woman!” She felt very frustrated a moment ago, seriously thinking about it now, Murong Shu Qing did not have any shame like this, Xuanyuan gege would surely not want her anymore, then would she still have a chance to marry Xuanyuan gege?!
Thinking like this, Chu Yun’s mind appeared to be joyous, so she promptly got up to find the Empress Dowager.
Bi Xin Sui pulled Chu Yun’s hand, and took her back to her seat, she urgently said: “Chu Yun, you can not!”
Chu Yun puzzlingly looked at Bi Xin Sui, and asked: “Why can I not?!”
Bi Xin Sui pressed Chu Yun’s shoulders, and appeasingly said: “You sit down first, and speak clearly with me, I will give you an idea, do not be impulsive!” She wanted to stop Chu Yun, this matter absolutely could not be said to Imperial mother and Song Ling Qiu!!
Chu Yun sat down, maybe Imperial sister in law could really help her, so she pouted her mouth, Chu Yun unwillingly asked: “What is the thing that you do not understand?”
“You tell me honestly, was it Murong Shu Qing who kissed the Emperor, or…. the Emperor forced her!” She wanted to know Murong Shu Qing’s att.i.tude, the Emperor certainly fell in love with her, so how about her? Did she fall in love with the Emperor also? Or her heart only liked Xuanyuan Yi! Also, did Xuanyuan Yi know about the Emperor’s thought of Murong Shu Qing?!
Chu Yun curled his lip, embarra.s.singly said: “It was, the Emperor elder brother who was holding her, then, kissing her, but how could the Emperor elder brother force her?! It was surely her who let loose in order to be captured.”
“What did they speak about?”
Chu Yun frowned her eyebrows to think, she shook her head, and answered: “I did not hear it clearly, it seemed something about giving her freedom.” She was pretty far away at that time, and they were whispering, and she was startled by the sight so she did not pay any attention on what they were saying!
“Freedom?! Can it be…?”
The Emperor suddenly wanted to regain the military power, could it be that he was already sure that he wanted to possess Murong Shu Qing, so he abolished Xuanyuan Yi’s real power first?! How could the Emperor be muddled like this! According to her father, regaining the military power was a future issue, based on Xuanyuan Yi’s temperament, he simply did not care about having any power. As long as the Emperor followed the step by step (routine), and took his time, after ten years, the military power could be grasped by him! And the Emperor also chose the worst timing now, (the army) just won the war with Cang Yue, so Xuanyuan Yi would never let go of the military power immediately, even if he agreed, his subordinates would never agree either! Could it be because of one woman, these two people, a ruler and his minister would ignore their friendships?!
She would never allow this kind of thing to happen!
“Imperial sister in law, Imperial sister in law, what is wrong with you?!” Chu Yun looked at Bi Xin Sui’s sharp expression that sank into contemplation, she pouted her mouth. Imperial sister in law was surely angry because the Emperor elder brother liked Murong Shu Qing, so she certainly did not have any mood to help her. So she would just have to think a good way on her own, so Chu Yun muttered to herself: “What should I do? I must tell Xuanyuan gege.”
Bi Xin Sui recovered, and yelled with a stern voice: “Out of the question.”
“Why?” Chu Yun did not understand why Imperial sister in law berated her loudly, it was clearly only Murong Shu Qing who did not have any morality, why could she not allow to speak?!
Of course she could not (speak to XY), if Xuanyuan Yi knew about this matter, the Emperor and Dong Yu would meet a calamity immediately, no man would be able to bear if his own wife was a.s.saulted. And Xuanyuan Yi, this kind of person would not be able to endure it even more, even though that person (who a.s.saulted his wife) was the Emperor!
Bi Xin Sui took a deep breath to steady her mind, and then said to Chu Yun: “Even if you tell Xuanyuan Yi, he will still have to marry Murong Shu Qing.”
“Why?” She did not believe that if Xuanyuan gege knew what kind of person Murong Shu Qing was, he would still want her!
“Because of the Imperial decree!”
Chu Yun was not convinced and stood up to say: “But, it was the Emperor elder brother himself who….”
Not waiting until she finished speaking, Bi Xin Sui coldly interrupted her words, and said: “The Monarch is not a joking matter! Moreover, do you dare to announce that Murong Shu Qing’s lover is the Emperor?!”
Chu Yun stared blankly, yes ah, she could not say it, even if she did not understand the politics within the Imperial court, she also knew that if the Monarch forced his way to the official’s wife, it would give an incapable ruler label to the Emperor elder brother. Despairingly leaning on the back of the chair, Chu Yun’s tearful and helpless eyes were looking at Bi Xin Sui, and asked: “Then, what to do?” She also did not want Xuanyuan gege to marry that kind of woman ah!
Bi Xin Sui gently caressed and stroke Chu Yun’s hair, however, her gloomy eyes and cold voice concealed her gentle movement, when she said: “Without her, the Emperor and Xuanyuan Yi will not have any conflicting views, your Xuanyuan gege will not have to marry her either.”
Chu Yun’s helpless eyes earlier, were opened big now! Her hand that was held by Bi Xin Sui, was slightly trembling, and she cowardly asked: “Imperial sister in law, what you were saying, was….”
Bi Xin Sui’s cold eyes already answered her question!
Murong Shu Qing, if you were not Xuanyuan Yi’s woman, Bengong would absolutely not want to take your life, there were already many women in this harem, so it was not a big deal to add you either. But, your existence had already affected Dong Yu, and threatened the Emperor. Since these two men simply could not (let go) of you, in that case, you could only… die!
The night scene was dark, the moonlight was already completely submerged by the clouds, the mottled of the shadows of the trees seemed like they were swallowing the entire palace! Inside the palace hall, two women were whispering, and outside the palace hall, a pair of sharp eyes were looking at the whole scene at once!
Murong Shu Qing slowly walked to return to Xiang Rui palace, her heart could not enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way. Xuan Tian Cheng’s strange action made her heart that was already restless, was even more nervous. What was the thing that he called freedom?! What did he want to do after all?! And her lips that were burning, they made Murong Shu Qing’s heart to keep burning in anger.
Murong Shu Qing stayed at the furthest right palace hall of the Xiang Rui palace, it was quiet and far away, so she really liked it. Once she returned inside the palace hall, Murong Shu Qing lied down on the soft chair that was by the side of the window, and lightly stroking her aching head. It seemed that her head had not been having any headache when she first entered the palace, she really did not get along with the Imperial palace’s fortune-telling.
“Master!” A black shadow quietly appeared behind Murong Shu Qing.
The familiar’s scent made Murong Shu Qing who originally had a restless heart, felt somewhat tranquil, so she slowly sat up, and Murong Shu Qing faintly and smilingly asked: “Yan Yu, is there any news?!”
Yan Yu fished out an envelope from his own bosom, and delivered it to Murong Shu Qing’s hand. Murong Shu Qing took the letter out, through the candle light, she read it.
Yan Yu was curious what Shen Xiao Yun wrote in the letter to Master, because Murong Shu Qing’s complexion actually looked worst and worst. From when she still had her light smile, until she showed an expressionless face, it already looked gloomy and she was even furious now, then….
“Preposterous!!!” Murong Shu Qing suddenly ripped the letter into pieces with her hands, her face was icily cold, she narrowed both of her eyes as if they were burning the fire fiercely! Yan Yu knitted his elegant and handsome eyebrows, it was indeed very rare that Master would be angry like this, what was it that made her feel this abnormal and violent rage like this?!
Yes, that was right, Murong Shu Qing’s feeling could only be described as violent rage now!
Freedom?! How good was this freedom?! So as it turned out, this was his so-called freedom!!
Murong Shu Qing clenched the letter inside her hand tighter and tighter, the letter only mentioned one thing. The thing that Zhong Yan had always been looking for recently, had already been found, its name was…. meng (cheat) xin (heart) cao (gra.s.s).
If one boiled meng xin cao gra.s.s with water, it was colorless and tasteless, when one drank this, one’s heart would be cheated! Any past events would no longer be remembered forever!
Af first, she did not understand why Xuan Tian Cheng anxiously wanted to regain the military power, why he made Zhong Yan went out to every part of the country. So as it turned out, he did not want to anxiously retake the military power, it was rather that he wanted Xuanyuan Yi to think mistakenly that Xuan Tian Cheng was putting a target on him! She always knew that Xuanyuan Yi was anxious about her, no matter if it was inside the palace or at the Capital, he would arrange people to monitor Xuan Tian Cheng. Xuan Tian Cheng did this, one was (because he wanted) to disrupt Xuanyuan Yi’s attention, and the other one was (because he wanted) to disrupt Xuanyuan Yi’s manpower! So Zhong Yan’s mission (was to find) meng xin cao gra.s.s!
This gra.s.s should be prepared for her, as long as she had one day of her own self-awareness, no matter what Xuan Tian Cheng did, it was impossible to imprison her for a long time. So in order for him to get her, he would unexpectedly not hesitate to destroy her! Without any memory, she would be confused and ignorant, that was (the person) that he wanted!
In order to accomplish his own desire, he would make her lose her own self forever.
Murong Shu Qing lightly closed her eyes to adjust her own chaotic mind, after a long time, she only opened her eyes again, and faintly said to Yan Yu: “You go back first, come again to see me around 11 pm-1 am tomorrow.” She needed some time to think what she should do! This time, she would not forgive him!
“Yes.” Yan Yu saw that she finally restored her normal tranquil (appearance) again, then he went out of the room, and quickly disappeared within the night scene.
Sian’s notes:
That sentence that said that BXS’s heart was somewhat hurt after she heard that XTC & MSQ were kissing… My reaction was like: Really??? Your husband has 11 other wives, and your heart “hurt” when he kissed one more woman??? Not saying that I’m happy that sc.u.mbag XTC forced kiss MSQ, but get real here. You know that most likely your husband doesn’t even like you, and you’re married to him because your father is the prime minister so it’s a given that he has to marry you. So since your marriage is like this, you should know better to feel “hurt” when your husband kisses another woman… ??? Meanie me… ??
You know, at first I thought this BXS is a smart woman, but it turns out that she’s just the same dumb woman whom I usually see in the ancient period dramas. Hehehe… She really thinks by taking MSQ out of the picture, she will restore the relationship between XTC & XY???!!! She’s way too naive!! I’m curious when or if XTC ever finds out that his stupid Empress is trying to scheme to kill MSQ, what will he do??? Demote his Empress, send her to a cold palace or kill her????
That sentence about MSQ not getting along with the Imperial palace’s fortune telling, is called bazi (this is a birthday character that is used in fortune-telling). A lot time, during the ancient period, most marriages were arranged marriages so both the men & women’s families would exchange this bazi to see if their birthdates were matched up. So MSQ was saying even if she liked XTC, she wasn’t suited to live in the palace as her bazi didn’t match up with the palace’s bazi due to getting a headache while she was staying in the palace. ?
I keep forgetting to make a comment about MSQ’s only physical power once she transferred back to the ancient time, seemed to be having a dog type’s nose that she could actually differentiate people’s scents. Hahahaha…
Deng!!! How long is this sc.u.mbag XTC can go???????? Oh my gosh, I think Mo Can needs to a.s.sa.s.sinate him. I don’t care that he’s a good Emperor anymore, but he doesn’t deserve to live after planning to give MSQ this concoction so she’ll forget her memories. What the heck was he thinking???!!!!! Buddhism believes reincarnation, when one dies, one has to drink this soup to forget one’s past before one can be reincarnated. So I guess that gra.s.s has the same affect as that soup. I’m sooooo MAD translating & reading this chapter!!! Sc.u.mbag, sc.u.mbag, sc.u.mbag XTC!!!! ?????
