613: As Malicious as Snakes and Scorpions

As Malicious as Snakes and Scorpions

"Your Highness." That royal maid sycophantically trotted over as she cried theatrically, "This servant just received news. Apparently, the crown prince consort is travelling at an unimaginable speed through the night while carrying something towards the two Handsome Fairnesses'[1] Classics Reverence Chamber. She appears to be very furious!" 2

Noble Consort Zheng was slightly taken aback and blurted out, "So fast?"

"Who knows if Handsome Fairness Huang can handle her." That royal maid commented while pursing her lips.

"Tsk, if she can't even handle a little girl, then let her be." Still, Noble Consort Zheng couldn't help knitting her brows. "So incompetent."

"Luckily, Your Highness was quick-witted and had plucked yourself out of the situation beforehand. That Handsome Fairness Huang wouldn't dare speak irresponsibly either." A self-satisfied smile tugged at the corners of that royal maid's mouth.

"Go scout out the situation at the Classics Reverence Chamber again."

"Understood, this servant will head there now." That royal maid soon walked out the door with short, mincing steps.

"Your Highness, if we just send that lass Cailing to the Classics Reverence Chamber to scout for information, and she happens to bump into the crown prince consort, wouldn't it not bode well?" Nanny Su said in a solemn voice.

"Hmph. Even a little girl dares to be so impudent to this noble consort. It's all that Handsome Fairness Huang's fault for being incompetent, being found out so quickly." By this time, Noble Consort Zheng's good mood had completely disappeared, and she kicked aside those two royal maids that had been massaging her legs.

The two junior royal maids were both without makeup and had servile attitudes. Their hair had been coiled up into twin buns, and they didn't wear any flower ornaments or jewelry at all.

With the nanny supporting her elegant lily-white hand, Noble Consort Zheng swayed lissomely on her slender and half-revealed thighs as she strode towards the edge of the table.

Suddenly, she paused her steps and berated a royal maid passing by the door. "Halt."

That royal maid was currently carrying a picture scroll while grinning from ear to ear as she walked past. That young small face without any traces of makeup instantly scorched Noble Consort Zheng's eyes.

With a look from Noble Consort Zheng, two eunuchs walked over like wolves and tigers and restrained the royal maid's arms, dragging her outside without a care for her screams. At the same time, Nanny Su sighed lightly while standing to the side.

The picture scroll in the royal maid's hands dropped to the floor with a flop. Her eyes widened in terror, and her small mouth was abruptly covered up by a eunuch's palm.

She was continuously letting out muffled shouts while being dragged off to a small room nearby.

A cold glint flit past Noble Consort Zheng's eyes, and she berated imperiously, "She definitely has ulterior motives by daring to give such a depraved smile. Slash up her small face and feed her to wild dogs."

"Mfmph!" Weeping bitter tears, the royal maid was unable to even beg for mercy. The two eunuchs seized her arms and covered up her mouth, directly dragging her off to the small room to deal with her.

Soon, an ear-piercing scream was heard from the small room.

Before long, two cruel and malicious eunuchs dragged out a royal maid whose face was completely disfigured beyond recognition. They directly threw her onto a decrepit handcart and pulled it out of the palace.

"They're all sl*ts." Noble Consort Zheng pinched her fingers together and faintly curved up her unfeeling lips. "They think there can be a second crafty and b*tchy woman who can exploit this noble consort's absence? They all need sorting out."

"This noble consort has a slight headache. Help me over to rest." Resting her hand on the silent and stooping Nanny Su's palm, Noble Consort Zheng swung her hips as she walked gracefully into the bedchamber.

However, at this time, she had yet to realize that the consequences of stepping on that fiend Darling Qiao's tail were rather severe!
