Chapter 142: Chapter 42: Encountering the Purple Eyes Again

Lie Sisi was publicly humiliated by Yue Jinghua for the first time, although it was the Empress Dowager who pointed out the seating arrangement. But with her dark personality, how could she let it go? Naturally, she would blame Yue Jinghua for this offense.

Yue Jinghua, don’t you think this will end just as you wish.

Lie Sisi secretly focused, channeling all her Dark Power into her toes, and with a flick of her toes, a crescent-shaped wave of Dark Energy swept towards Yue Jinghua’s lower body.

But at that moment, a smile appeared on Yue Jinghua’s face. Her feet moved like a spiritual snake entering a hole, one step ahead, and she kicked the leg of Lie Sisi’s table.

The tables in Little Shang Palace are about waist height and have four legs on the ground. Each is covered with a Luo fabric tablecloth, and between each table stands a lush potted plant taller than a person.

At this moment, both women had their own calculations, yet both were skilled actors, one wearing a smiling face, and the other concealing her intentions.

No one expected the fierce undercurrent beneath the table, Yue Jinghua’s kick was extraordinary, cleanly severing the sturdy table leg.

Lie Sisi, unaware that Yue Jinghua would suddenly use such force, struck down hard with her palm, and the table collapsed on cue.

Both possessed Dark Power at the Dark Jade Peak level, one above the table, the other below, their powers colliding like two speeding cars, the marble table was doomed, its legs had just been broken when its surface sharply split apart.

The table shattered into several pieces, the fine wine and fruits on it scattered everywhere, dust flying about.

In a flash of sparks, Lie Sisi suddenly remembered the day in Xuan Technique Pavilion when the stone stele exploded.

Suddenly it all became clear to her, she stood up furiously, trembling with rage, her face red and her ears hot, eyes wide with anger, blurting out, "You bitch."

A stir arose among the onlookers.

Looking down, Lie Sisi saw her clothes stained with wine spills and her face covered with powder dust, with her silk dress torn in several places.

In contrast, Yue Jinghua, who entered the palace with a specific purpose that day, dressed for convenience, stealthily attacked with a kick and swiftly dodged, getting only symbolically splashed.

Yue Jinghua’s subtle movements under the table went unseen by the others. However, when Lie Sisi suddenly struck the table and spoke out of turn, followed by the table’s explosive collapse, everyone present instantly understood the situation.

It was common knowledge that Yue Jinghua had no Dark Power, so the one causing trouble could only be the usually well-regarded Lie Sisi.

The fiancée of Prince Xiao Yi is Yue Jinghua, but his heart was set on Lie Sisi. Unfortunately, with the backing of the Empress Dowager, Lie Sisi secretly resented and tripped Yue Jinghua.

The onlookers, aware of this, looked at Lie Sisi with inexplicably odd expressions.

Thoughtfully, Fa Xiaoyi glanced at Yue Jinghua and said in a solemn voice, "Someone, take the two young ladies to get changed."

"I, she," Lie Sisi’s eyes turned red, almost exploding with anger. She was always the one plotting against others, when did it become her turn to be plotted against? Especially by Yue Jinghua.

Yue Jinghua had been waiting for just this moment. She casually grabbed a palace maid and went off to change clothes.

Seeing her eager departure, Fa Xiaoyi’s face darkened even more.

"Miss Yue, please wait a moment. This servant will fetch some clean clothes for you," the palace maid led Yue Jinghua to a side hall to change clothes and then excused herself.

"This little sister," Yue Jinghua casually grabbed the palace maid, a girl of only thirteen or fourteen years old, looking fresh to palace life with an innocent face.

"Miss Yue, please don’t be so courteous, I can’t afford such honor," the young palace maid was clever despite her young age, having served within the palace.

She had witnessed the covert competition between the Consort and the Empress Dowager. This somewhat ugly girl could easily be the future Queen Fa, so she needed to serve her cautiously.

"Besides Jinghua Garden, is there any place in the palace where they keep exotic Dark Beasts?" Yue Jinghua casually slipped a bag of Gold Coins into the young palace maid’s hand.

The palace maid hesitated for a moment, weighing the bag of Gold Coins. That bag of gold could support her frugally for many years, but casually leaking palace affairs—if the Chief Eunuch found out...

As the palace maid hesitated, the deep black pupils of Yue Jinghua seemed like a bottomless black hole in front of her, and a decadent voice as if from the heavens resounded ceaselessly in her ears.

The palace maid spoke dreamily with her lips moving, "The Concubines of the Royal Family often like to keep small cats and dogs, especially the Imperial Concubine, who fancies some rare Dark Beasts. Every month, the Emperor would send beasts from the Royal Beast Garden for her pleasure in the Youlian Palace." Speaking of the Imperial Concubine, the palace maid showed a hint of envy.
