Chapter 13 Major Discovery
A moment later, a series of crisp footsteps echoed upstairs.
Qian Renxue looked up and was slightly taken aback. Unlike her usual simple and elegant attire, Tang Yuehua was heavily made up today. Her long hair was piled up behind her head and tied with several gold hairpins. She wore a high-necked dark red cheongsam with cloud patterns and walked slowly with her jade feet in a pair of red-soled high heels, which made her look charming and elegant.
"Aunt Yuehua."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Tang Yuehua gave a slight bow and a polite smile.
"I heard this morning that His Highness the Crown Prince is choosing a consort from among the noble ladies. I wonder if he has already chosen someone?"
"No, I've been very busy lately and have no interest in choosing a crown princess. But Aunt Yuehua has changed quite a bit since I last saw her."
A hint of suspicion flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. Could it be that Tang Yuehua had encountered some happy event? She looked radiant and didn't look like she had been ravaged at all.
"Really? You've become more beautiful, haven't you?"
Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes brightened slightly. She had noticed this while she was getting ready. Not only was her skin much more moisturized and delicate, but her figure had also changed. The stockings on her legs had become shorter and tighter.
"what?"
Qian Renxue was taken aback when Tang Yuehua asked that question.
"What, am I wrong?"
Tang Yuehua looked worried, and her jade-like hand subconsciously covered her cheek. Could it be that the image in the mirror was unreal and that she hadn't actually changed much?
"Oh, no, it's just that Aunt Yuehua's question was a bit abrupt, and I'm not used to it for a moment."
"Oh, I was being presumptuous. I'm really sorry."
Tang Yuehua breathed a slight sigh of relief, but felt a little embarrassed. Really, why did she say all this to the Crown Prince?
"Your Highness, please come with me."
"it is good."
Following behind Tang Yuehua, Qian Renxue frowned slightly. Tang Yuehua had changed quite a bit. Although her speech was still proper, her temperament seemed to have undergone a dramatic transformation, and she seemed to have gained a new kind of confidence from within.
This confidence seemed strange about her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
"Wow! Look, Lady Yue looks so beautiful today!"
"Hmm! It seems like Madam Yue's figure has gotten even better. Or is it just my imagination?"
"I've heard that a woman's body changes after being 'developed' by a man. Do you think Lady Yue might...?"
"Don't talk nonsense like that. Who in Heaven Dou City is worthy of Lady Yue?"
"That seems true, but she's really beautiful!"
A few noblewomen gathered in a group not far away whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with envy as they glanced at Tang Yuehua.
The two sat facing each other at the tea table. Qian Renxue picked up the teapot and poured tea for each of them before getting to the point.
"Aunt Yuehua, things have been quite unsettled in Tiandou City lately, as you've probably heard. Since the Demon Dragon incident, Shrek Academy's Dean Flander and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang have both been seriously injured. It's said that the person who did it has some connection to that Demon Dragon."
"Oh? What insightful opinion does Your Highness have?"
Tang Yuehua maintained her smile, but inwardly she was thinking to herself, "Isn't that the person the Crown Prince brought in?" Her information network was very efficient, so she naturally already knew that it was Xue Qinghe who brought Xiao Lin.
"It's like this, Aunt Yuehua, you don't know, that demon dragon is lustful, and that's why I escaped this calamity. It is said that he once appeared at Yuexuan, so Aunt Yuehua, you must be extra careful."
Qian Renxue secretly observed the other person's expression, but found that her expression did not change at all.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My Yuexuan has some skilled fighters. If that thief dares to come, he will surely suffer a great loss."
Tang Yuehua silently complained, "Would being careful even help? She had no chance to escape at all. Fortunately, Xiao Lin wasn't as evil as outsiders said. He was just a little lecherous, but that's nothing. What's good if a young man isn't lecherous?"
However, there is something strange. Given Xiao Lin's abilities, there seems to be no need to keep Xue Qinghe. So why keep him?
"With the support of the Haotian Sect, Aunt Yuehua shouldn't have much to worry about. This arrow is specially made for women. If she is unfortunately coerced by that person, she can break the fletching and the arrow will shoot out on its own. Experts from Tiandou City will come to her rescue."
Qian Renxue took out a delicate pink arrow. This arrow was made by a royal soul master and was specially used for communication and location. When the arrow was shot, pink smoke would explode, and anyone who came into contact with the pink smoke would have their aura left behind. That aura could be retained for an hour.
"Very well, I'll keep this arrow. I'm grateful for the Crown Prince's personal delivery. Is there anything else?"
Tang Yuehua took the delicate pink arrow and put it in a box.
"That's all. It's getting late, Aunt Yuehua, you should get some rest."
Qian Renxue couldn't see anything wrong, so she got up and prepared to leave.
"Alright, I'll see Your Highness off."
Seeing this, Tang Yuehua also got up to see them off.
Qian Renxue was the first to stand up. She looked at Tang Yuehua, but her gaze was suddenly drawn to a touch of crimson on her neck.
That's... a hickey!
Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly. Yuexuan was very clean and often had incense burning. Besides, it was already autumn, so there wouldn't be any mosquitoes. It was definitely a hickey!
She subtly inquired, but Tang Yuehua hadn't been in contact with any male guests recently. So who could it be?
The answer was obvious: she didn't think Tang Yuehua would be interested in women.
"Your Highness, please."
"it is good."
Qian Renxue came to her senses, her heart filled with mixed feelings. She no longer needed to ask anything more. Xiao Lin had definitely been in contact with her, but she really didn't know how he managed to get this unassuming Lady Yue to keep his secret.
However, this is for the best. Her only concern was that Tang Yuehua might react excessively if she was forced, thus affecting the Spirit Hall's grand plan.
Now things are as she wished, but the thought of the person who slept next to her in another woman's bed makes her feel uncomfortable.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Lin was born in her room, so she should be considered Xiao Lin's... half mother!
"not good!"
Qian Renxue tripped on the steps without paying attention and fell straight to the ground.
"Hey, Your Highness, watch out!"
Seeing this, Tang Yuehua quickly grabbed the other person's shoulder, thus saving the Crown Prince from disaster. Otherwise, he would have been bruised and battered from the fall.
"Thank you, Aunt Yuehua, that was really close."
Qian Renxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If she had fallen here, her disheveled appearance would have been seen by these noble ladies. Not only would it have been embarrassing, but her knees would have hit the steps and hurt a lot.
Be careful when you walk.
Tang Yuehua thought to herself that this Crown Prince was really strange. Why was he so absent-minded?
"Okay, I'll be careful."
Qian Renxue rubbed her shoulders, thinking to herself that this woman had a lot of strength in her hands. No wonder she maintained such a good figure. It seemed that she had been training a lot. It was just a pity that her soul power was only at level nine, which meant that she was destined to have no future. Otherwise, she would have also considered trying to win her over.
