Chapter 420: Concealing Identity Alone
The Eldest Prince twisted her forcefully, then pulled out a packet of medicine powder from his pocket, "Take this powder before you make merry with Father Emperor, and once he is affected by the drug, I will take the opportunity to make the old man write an Imperial Decree of succession. With that, the throne will be in my hands, won’t it? And your position as Empress will follow."
The consort was puzzled, "If I take the medicine, how will the Emperor be affected by its effects?"
The Eldest Prince pinned her down once more, "Do I really need to teach you how it’s done?"
The consort smiled seductively, "I understand now. Your Highness, please release me; we mustn’t go another round today."
"Why not?" the Eldest Prince asked.
"If there are too many marks on me, the Emperor will notice," the consort said weakly as she pushed him away, then added jealously, "Every time Your Highness comes to the palace, you treat me with cold indifference, but you look at the Ninth Princess utterly differently."
"The Ninth Princess is quite beautiful. If she weren’t my sister, I would..." The Eldest Prince didn’t finish his sentence.
Ye Jiu on the attic realized what he was about to say and in her shock, her foot slipped, and she fell straight down from the attic.
The disheveled consort on the ground panicked, "Your Highness, the Ninth Princess heard everything we said; our actions today, I’m afraid..."
I’m afraid we’ll be exposed, and then there will be no good ending!
