Chapter 170 Xia Jingjing, the Fourth Prince's Concubine
His eyes, full of offense, were fixed on Xia Yue.
His gaze, scrutinizing you from head to toe, was like an X-ray, seemingly trying to see right through you.
Even more rudely, the guard captain watched for two minutes, spending most of the time staring at Xia Yue's face with a look of infatuation.
Without a doubt, Xia Yue is a stunning beauty.
With delicate features and a captivating aura, she wore a white long dress with a pale yellow floral pattern around the neckline, resembling a blooming daffodil.
Daffodils, however, are poisonous.
As the captain of the guard read to the end, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
The harder you rub it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
"Ah! My eyes!" the guard captain cried out, immediately covering his eyes.
Xia Yue asked calmly, "May I leave now?"
The other guards, not daring to cause trouble, quickly made way for them.
After Xia Yue left, several people who were on good terms with the guard captain began to mock him.
"Captain, aren't you afraid of getting scolded by your wife when you get back if you think so highly of that Miss Feng?"
"She wouldn't dare! She's just a woman! I can't even imagine what she would do if she really did something to that woman from the Feng family, she'd have to hold her nose and give up her position!" The guard captain's eyes hurt, but his wicked heart remained undiminished.
He thought he was just a little tired from keeping his eyes open for a long time.
"Go get me some eye drops!" the guard captain ordered impatiently.
Just then, Qin Yeting's team arrived.
Qin Yeting overheard everything the guard captain had said.
The captain of the guards dared not search or offend this large Buddha statue, so he obediently made way for it with a fawning smile on his face.
"Young Master Qin, please come in. His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
But Qin Yeting had no intention of letting him go.
Qin Yeting instructed, "Replace the eye drops with chili oil, and apply a good drop to wash your eyes."
The guard captain was terrified!
Putting chili oil in your eyes is a recipe for disaster!
"Young Master Qin, spare my life! Spare my life!" The guard captain immediately knelt on the ground.
Qin Yeting, however, had no intention of letting the other party off the hook.
He left his assistant Zhou behind to carry out the orders, and then walked straight ahead.
Assistant Zhou looked at the guard captain and said coldly, "Will you do it yourself, or should I do it myself?"
The captain of the guard knew he was doomed this time, but he still didn't know why he had offended Qin Yeting.
To avoid suffering as much as possible, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll do it myself..."
Soon after, a piercing scream echoed through the palace gates.
Even Xia Yue, who had already walked away, could hear the sound.
Moreover, she recognized the voice as belonging to the guard captain who had made things difficult for her at the door.
"Serves him right for getting his comeuppance so quickly," Xia Yue muttered to herself.
"What?" Feng Yao was a little confused.
"It's nothing, brother, thank you for earlier." Xia Yue changed the subject.
Feng Yao felt somewhat guilty. "I didn't do a good enough job. I thought that if I bribed him with gold, he would turn a blind eye, but I didn't expect him to still go too far."
"People like that won't have a good ending. We just need to do our own thing." Xia Yue patted her brother's shoulder and comforted him with a smile.
Feng Yao could only manage a forced smile.
The two were in a place resembling a royal garden, surrounded by beautiful flowers.
Nearby are peonies, crabapples, roses, and Chinese roses.
In the distance, there are peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, and pear blossoms, a truly breathtaking sight.
As expected of the imperial palace, it is indeed very wealthy and powerful.
Just as Xia Yue was admiring the view, a figure riding in an exquisite purple palanquin carried by eight men passed by her.
After walking ahead, he deliberately stopped.
Two people stepped out of the sedan chair.
What a coincidence, they were two old acquaintances.
One of them surprised Xia Yue.
Because that person was none other than Xia Jingjing, her "good younger sister" in the Xia family in China.
Standing next to Xia Jingjing was a familiar figure, whom Xia Yue had also seen before; it was the Fourth Prince, Ansen.
Back in China, Xia Yue had interacted with this person twice and even saved his life.
I never expected to meet you here today.
Fate is indeed a wonderful thing.
"Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince's concubine," Feng Yao greeted her respectfully.
The fourth prince, Anson, nodded.
Xia Jingjing raised her chin, dressed in an expensive and luxurious palace gown, and looked at the two of them with a smug and provocative air, finally focusing her gaze on Xia Yue.
"Sister, it's been a long time." Xia Jingjing greeted her with a half-smile.
Xia Yue had no affection for this sister who was not related to her by blood.
She remembered that back in China, Xia Jingjing had been severely suppressed by her, resulting in disfigurement, a back injury, and almost a broken leg.
But now, Xia Jingjing's appearance remains the same, and she is even more beautiful than before, probably because she hired a top-notch plastic surgeon.
As for the physical injuries, they must have consulted a specialist.
It's estimated that she climbed the social ladder by getting close to the fourth prince of Country A, which is why she has such a good life now.
"Why are you ignoring me, sister? I'm now the esteemed concubine of the Fourth Prince! Be careful, or I'll punish you for disrespecting the royal family," Xia Jingjing threatened.
Sure enough, old habits die hard; even with a changed identity, he still couldn't keep his composure.
Xia Yue glanced at Xia Jingjing and asked indifferently, "What do you want?"
Xia Jingjing was speechless, and her face turned even uglier.
She just wanted to show off her current status in front of Xia Yue.
She was the fourth prince's concubine, a status and wealth that many women could only dream of their entire lives.
The Fourth Prince is the new emperor of the team, and his future is limitless.
