Chapter 65: Chapter 64 The Emperor Arrives (6000 words)_2

Ye Qichi suppressed the rage in her heart.

Indeed, she could not have any expectations of Xiao Jinxing.

The relationship between the two of them was nothing more than a partnership.

Moreover, when disaster strikes, even husbands and wives can part ways and fly separately!

"Feeling bad?" Gao Jingyi looked at the obvious emotional changes on Ye Qichi’s face and sneered evilly.

She had thought, how formidable could Ye Qichi be?! She had also thought Ye Qichi was invincible.

But that’s all there was to it!

"Ye Qichi, you’d be wise to know your place and understand what status you hold. Don’t think about showing off," Gao Jingyi said with immense sarcasm.

"So the Crown Princess Consort thinks I stole your spotlight?!" Ye Qichi spoke up.

Her voice was cold and somewhat deep.

Her eyes were fixed on Gao Jingyi, not showing a trace of timidity.

Gao Jingyi was taken aback.

Probably because she did not expect Ye Qichi would suddenly speak again.

"Insolent!" Gao Jingyi bellowed, clearly in a fit of embarrassed rage, "I, the exalted Crown Princess Consort, would have my spotlight stolen by you?! With your lowly status, what spotlight do you have that could outshine mine?!"

"That’s what I’ve been saying. I’m merely a deserted Princess Consort who is not favored, what does the Crown Princess Consort have to worry about me for?! Even if I receive a couple of compliments from the Emperor, what of it?! How long has the Emperor remembered me, remembered the Prince? Why should the Crown Princess Consort be so envious of my existence? If I were the Crown Princess Consort, I would definitely not waste my time on someone so insignificant, not to mention losing the dignity of such a lofty position," Ye Qichi’s seemingly well-intentioned remarks were in fact a scathing mockery of Gao Jingyi.

Gao Jingyi was verbally turned green with anger by Ye Qichi.

And still, this woman was as articulate and sharp-tongued as ever.

Last time during the palace banquet, when she was very talkative, Gao Jingyi consoled herself by thinking it was all taught by the Prince. But now, at this moment, this speech by Ye Qichi could not possibly have anything to do with the Prince.

She looked coldly at Ye Qichi, who then continued, "The person the Crown Princess Consort should be most wary of is Bai Mowan, the only legitimate daughter of General Bai. The Emperor naturally wants to win her over to his side, meaning she is bound to marry into the Prince’s family. As for who she marries, whether it’s the Prince of Chu or the Prince, or even the..." she deliberately left the words "Crown Prince" unsaid, letting Gao Jingyi understand on her own.

She continued, "Regardless of who it is, the position of the Crown Princess Consort is bound to be threatened..."

"I am the Crown Princess Consort, and unless she marries the Emperor himself, marrying anyone else poses no threat to me!" Gao Jingyi enunciated each word, clearly flustered and exasperated.

The woman Bai Mowan was indeed her taboo.

Not to mention that the Prince of Chu sought Bai Mowan, even the Empress and the Crown Prince were planning on whether they could win over Bai Mowan and the Bai Family.

It was pitiful that the Empress had not even a Princess besides the Crown Prince; otherwise, having Bai Moyi become the Prince Consort could have balanced the power.

Without a Princess, naturally, the only prospect lay with the Crown Prince. If the Empress really started to harbor the idea of winning Bai Mowan’s heart, what position could Gao Jingyi still speak of beside the Empress and the Crown Prince?

Thinking of these things, Gao Jingyi felt a surge of jealousy and hatred.

She naturally would not let Bai Mowan off the hook.

But now, having been provoked by Ye Qichi, she wouldn’t let her off easy either!

"Ye Qichi, spare us your bewitching words here!" Gao Jingyi said coldly, naturally unwilling to admit her own apprehensions about Bai Mowan, "Don’t think that by saying these things, I will let you off the hook! Even if I don’t deal with you, for killing the nanny of the Late Empress, you won’t be able to leave unscathed!"

Having said that.

Gao Jingyi fiercely pushed Ye Qichi onto the ground.

Ye Qichi did not resist.

With her current abilities, she couldn’t resist anyway.

But being able to distract Gao Jingyi, even with a few words, and thus suffer a bit less was a small victory for her.

After all, in Gao Jingyi’s eyes, she was nothing but a pushover, and torturing her a bit would suffice. The real cause of Gao Jingyi’s angst was still Bai Mowan!

Gao Jingyi left.

Ye Qichi let out a slight sigh of relief.

She sat crouched on the ground, too weak to kneel anymore.

The old nanny also left with Gao Jingyi after clashing with Ye Qichi; it was obvious she was off to tattle to the Empress.

In the Confinement Room, only Ye Qichi remained.

Besides a dim candlelight, there was nothing else.

But she remained calm.

After all, it wouldn’t kill her, just a bit of pain.

And this grudge was not unavengable!

Ye Qichi leaned against the cold wall and fell asleep.
