Two Handsome Fairnesses each resided in one of the Classics Reverence Chamber’s two wings.
Handsome Fairness Lu hailed from the Marquis of Renown’s Estate. She had always been plagued by illness, so she basically spent the greater half of the year recuperating and nursing her health in the Classics Reverence Chamber’s eastern wing. Hence, she wouldn’t attend banquets much, no matter how large or small.
On the other hand, Handsome Fairness Huang was apparently quite outstanding in song and dance when she was younger. Otherwise, she, as a mere county magistrate’s daughter, wouldn’t have received the king’s favor and been bestowed with the title of Handsome Fairness.
However, she was slowly given the cold shoulder in recent years due to her increasing age and the innumerable beauties around the king.
When Qiao Mu heard the level-12 mystic cultivator mention the Classics Reverence Chamber’s old nanny at the beginning, she didn’t have the slightest impression. She was also confused when he brought up Handsome Fairness Huang.
She had never encountered this whatever Handsome Fairness before, nor did she have any enmity with her. Did she go nuts to want to kidnap her mom and sister at Dongshun Gate?
She absolutely wouldn’t believe it if no one was prompting her from behind.
Going to the Classics Reverence Chamber to find Handsome Fairness Huang was her first order of business. The second was interrogating her to learn who the person prompting her was.
She only had these two objectives. Wanting to withdraw unaffected after laying a hand on her mother and sister? Truly too naive!
Currently, it was already 10 o’clock at night.
The two masters of the Classics Reverence Chamber had washed up and prepared to retire for the night. However, at this moment, a loud crash was heard from the western wing’s rooftop.
Following this crash, a series of clattering sounds from tiles falling off the roof instantly broke the silence of the dark night.
Handsome Fairness Huang, who had just laid down on the bed, abruptly sat up with a jolt.
For some reason, ever since she carried out Her Highness the Noble Consort’s arrangements, her heart was unsettled, and her eyelid hadn’t stopped twitching the whole night.
Now, upon hearing a loud crash coming from the roof, she was slightly bewildered. She hastily called out towards the yard, “Someone, someone come quickly! Go check what happened!”
“Bang!!” A ball-shaped person was abruptly kicked inside. He tumbled on the ground several times before his head crashed into the bed chamber’s wooden clothes rack. After giving a wail, his eyes rolled back as he fainted.
“Who, who dares to barge into this Handsome Fairness’s bedchamber without permission.” Appearing fierce while cowardly at heart, Handsome Fairness Huang got off the bed and hollered, her eyes opened so wide that they couldn’t be any rounder.
“Thump!” Accompanied by a groan, something heavy smashed onto the floor.
Qiao Mu’s small face gradually appeared from within the shadows, and her icy gaze landed on Handsome Fairness Huang, who was only wearing a white middle layer garment.
“Do you still recognize this person?” She kicked the level-12 mystic cultivator who was moaning in a low voice on the ground.
By exerting a bit of strength into her toes, the level-12 mystic cultivator was flipped over, and a ghastly pale and undisguised face was revealed before Handsome Fairness Huang’s eyes.
Seeing his face, Handsome Fairness Huang cried out in alarm, and she cowered while taking a step backwards.
Without a doubt, her behavior affirmed that she did recognize him! Qiao Mu was instantly angered into laughter, and she coldly ordered, “Pulverize this hellhole that is aiding and abetting wicked deeds!!”
“Shriek!” Qingluan had been spiraling in the sky when it abruptly received its little master’s order. It swooped down vehemently, spitting out a mouthful of icicles at the underside of the western wing’s eaves and instantly cutting down half of them.
“Boom!!” A huge, earth-shaking boom completely alarmed the royal guard patrolling outside the high walls.
However, because there wasn’t a transfer order, the small captain of the royal guard temporarily didn’t have the clearance to step foot into the harem. He and his team could only look at each other in dismay from the other side of the wall.
That sound just now really was too loud! It seemed to have come from the Classics Reverence Chamber’s direction.
Yet—
