Empress Running Away With The Ball

ch. 119-120

Chapter 119: A plucked chicken

All his suffering had all come from this one woman!

If it wasn't for the fact that he was distracted by the unknown young girl that had appeared in the Peach Blossom Cove for a short period causing him to not leave the Peach Blossom Cove, he would not have let Chen Ning off that easily.

But today, he had no way of holding back any longer.

"Someone come!" Chu Shao Yang suddenly shouted.

Chen Bi Yun was surprised and quickly said, "Your highness, what are you doing?"

Chu Shao Yang did not reply. When he saw the approaching Xiao An Zi, he snapped, "Pass down my orders. Princess Chen is very sick, so in order to not affect others, she will be immediately sent to the wooden hut and no one is allowed to come close. If anyone dares to enter or leave the wooden hut, kill without any mercy! Do you understand?"

Xiao An Zi immediately bowed down and replied, "This servant understands and will act accordingly to your highness' orders."

Chu Shao Yang gave a cold snort.

Although he hated Chen Ning and wanted her to die, he knew that he still could not personally kill her.

The paper can never contain the fire. If he personally killed her, sooner or later the news would be spread. Even if he had never personally seen her, his marriage was decided on by the emperor, so if the emperor found out, he would not let him off.

So he could only use this method and slowly torture her to death.

"Your highness, you can't do this. Elder sister is already spitting up blood from her sickness, if you send her to the wooden hut, wouldn't that be trying to take her life?"

Chen Bi Yun was filled with happiness that she almost began to laugh, but she still revealed a fake worried expression on her face.

That's right, this king wants that cheap woman's life!

Chu Shao Yang ruthlessly said in his mind, but he revealed a gentle look on his face. He stroked Chen Bi Yun's cheeks as his gaze fell onto her stomach.

"Yun'er, you should worry less about that cheap woman. Perhaps she'll get better after living in the wooden hut for a few days. How have you been feeling these past few days? Is our child still alright?"

Chen Bi Yun revealed a shy smile, "You're highness, concubine is fine. As for the child.......he is also fine."

Chu Shao Yang laughed and stretched his arms out to bring her into his embrace. Then he took large steps as he walked to the Intoxicated Flower Pavilion.

Chen Bi Yun was buried in Chu Shao Yang's arms and finally couldn't help laughing as well.

My good sister, you dirtied one of my skirts, so I'll just take your life!

When Chen Bi Yun left, Xiao Ru followed behind her as she closed the door. Turning around, she smiled at Chen Ning just like a peach blossom blooming.

"Young miss, you spitting out that mouthful of phlegm was too satisfying! It would have been even better if you spat into the second miss' face." Her voice was filled with a little regret.

Chen Ning sat up in the bed and wiped away the traces of blood at the corners of her lips. She looked over at the window and said, "Is she gone?"

"She's gone!" The one who replied was Xia He. She forcefully nodded as she laughed while covering her mouth.

"Why are you so happy?" Chen Ning smiled and asked.

"Princess you did not see it, but once concubine Chen left our courtyard door, she immediately took off that beautiful pink skirt and threw it onto the ground. She almost stomped on it a few times. When she had came to our courtyard, she was proud like a phoenix, but when she left, she was just like a plucked chicken!"

Once Xia He finished speaking, the four people in the room were filled with joy.

Chen Ning only laughed for a bit before her smile faded. She then thoughtfully looked out the window.

"Young miss, your acting was very real and you scared the second miss quite a bit. I don't think she'll dare come back for a while." Xiao Ru said.

Chapter 120: A dog wouldn't eat it

Chen Ning shook her head, "As long as I don't die, she won't give up. With her poisonous heart, she will definitely not let us off this easily after suffering such a big loss."

"Young miss, you mean the second miss will be back?"

Chen Ning smiled without saying anything. Then she pointed at the box Chen Bi Yun had left behind, "Open that and take a look. I want to see what kind of good gift my little sister has brought for me."

Xiao Ru angrily said, "Second miss is just like a weasel. Something that she gives is definitely something bad, it's better if this servant just gives it to the dogs."

"No need to feed it to the dogs yet, let's open it and take a look first." Chen Ning smiled and said.

When the box opened, a blinding light shined out, dazzling their eyes. It was actually some very beautiful jewelry.

When Xiao Ru saw this, she became even more angry.

"Young miss, this servant understands everything, second miss did this to anger you. She said that these were all things that his highness has given her and then by giving it to you, it is clear that she is laughing at us. Who cares about her broken jewelry!" After finishing, she picked it up and threw it out the window.

Chen Ning smiled and shook her head, "Silly girl, if you give this to the dogs, the dogs wouldn't want to eat this either. If we take them to a pawnshop, we can get quite a bit of silver for this."

"Aiyo, this servant is really dumb, why did this servant think of that? This servant will go bring it back right now."

Xiao Ru patted her forehead and then quickly ran outside the house to pick up as many of the pieces of jewelry as she could find.

"Young miss, you're right. All these things are quite good and each one will sell for quite a bit."

She picked them up one by one and praised them as she picked them up. She was filled with joy and the anger from before had completely disappeared.

Suddenly, Chen Ning seemed to have heard something from outside and the smile on her face froze as she pricked up her ears.

"This servant will go and take a look." Xia He had also heard the noise and quickly ran out.

She quickly came back with an anxious expression on her face.

"Princess consort, this is bad, it is housekeeper Xu with a group of people. They said that since the princess is sick and they're afraid of you infecting others, his highness has ordered for you to be confined to the wooden hut."

"What!" Xiao Ru's face turned red with anger when she heard this and she clenched her fist as she shouted, "Young miss, it must because of the second miss reporting back to his highness and telling him bad things about you!"

Chun Tao also said, "The princess is not sick at all and will not infect anyone, this servant will tell them this now!"

"Wait, wait, this princess hasn't said anything yet, so why are you all so worried?" Chen Ning spoke in a casual voice. Her face was very calm, not revealing any movement.


The three maids looked at her with confused expressions.

"Isn't it just living in the wooden hut, what's the big deal with that? This princess feels like this place is too spacious, so I might as well live in the wooden hut for two days. It'll be a change of environment and a change of mood."

When Chen Ning finished speaking, Xiao Ru angrily said, "Young miss, that little wooden shed is broken and filled with holes, there is a large difference between the two places. It wouldn't even be enough for a dog to live in, how could it accommodate a human! His highness is being completely fooled, listening to whatever the second miss tells him. You are his legally wedded princess, why do you have to sleep in a wooden hut? Why doesn't he make that beloved consort of his sleep in the wooden hut!"

"It's fine if I sleep in a wooden hut. Xiao Ru, calm yourself down. Chun Tao, go outside to stall them for a bit. Tell them that I am packing my things and will immediately go with them to the wooden hut. Xia He, come over here, I have something to tell you."

Chen Ning waved her hand and called Xia He over. Then she whispered something into her ear.
