Chapter 753: Blocking His Wav Out!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The letter was written in a sprightly manner, and one could tell from the back that there were quite a few words.

She pinched a corner and shook it for a while. When it was dry, she rolled it up.

She rolled it up thin and stuffed it into the small bamboo tube tied to the carrier pigeon’s ankle.

She grabbed a handful of nuts from the lunchbox, placed them in her palm, and fed some to the carrier pigeon.

The carrier pigeon nodded and ate. After it was full, Su Ji opened the window. The carrier pigeon could not bear to look back at her, so it spread its wings and flew away.

Its figure disappeared into the night sky.

By the time the reply reached Prince Huai, it was already past midnight.

Shen Mu carefully took the small bamboo tube from the pigeon’s ankle. He walked along the wall and sneaked into the house, handing the bamboo tube to the prince in perfect condition.

Then, he closed the door.

Shen Mu stood outside the door with his hands clenched into fists and made a “good luck” gesture in front of his chest.

His Highness had maintained the habit of communicating with the mysterious person late at night for several years, and every step was strictly confidential.

Other than the prince and himself, no one else in the Imperial Residence knew!

Shen Mu felt honored to accept this mission, but at the same time, he also knew the burden.

A letter of this level of confidentiality…must be related to national affairs!

The previous Emperor had no children, and the current court was in the hands of a consort. This was absolutely against the principles of ethics.

No matter how beautiful the Consort Dowager was, she could not change this fact!

Shen Mu knew that His Highness had been conserving his energy and laying out a huge chess piece all these years!

Some time ago, he had heard His Highness suddenly call out Consort Dowager’s maiden name. He was worried that His Highness would be charmed by Consort Dowager’s beauty and give up on his grand ambitions. Now, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

In less than half a month, His Highness had already sent out two letters. Perhaps…His Highness is about to take action!

Outside the door in the middle of the night, Shen Mu’s eyes lit up like two beams of light!

At this moment, in the room, Prince Huai, who had received the reply, had a rare expression of difficulty.

Calm and wise, this was the general impression of Prince Huai in the imperial court.

Therefore, it was rare for him to have such a difficult expression.

The reason was, of course, Su Ji’s letter.

Prince Huai had been sending letters to the palace frequently recently because he was worried that Su Ji’s emotions would not be as stable after she became pregnant.

She had just returned from another world, so she probably needed to be guided.

In the end, this letter really confirmed his guess.

In the letter, Su Ji indeed said a lot of things that she would not usually say to him. The emotions he revealed were also very different from what he had seen during the day.

Anxious and restless. shallow sleen and manv dreams.

Although Pei Huai did not know whose child she was carrying, he knew that nothing could happen to Su Ji.

After reading the first half of the letter, he came up with a few prescriptions in his mind and thought of a way to let her use the medicine in peace in the palace.

At that time, he did not think it was difficult, but when he saw the last sentence…

Su Ji said that if she continued like this, something would definitely happen to her. She would stand by the well in a daze at night, and now there was only one way to help her…and that was to see him again! Or rather, it wasn’t him. She just wanted to see her bestie!

Pei Huai: “…”

That night, he did not reply.

The next morning, Prince Huai went to court on time.

Perhaps he was overthinking things, but behind the beaded curtain in the main hall today, Su Ji was quieter than usual and lacked interest in everything.

The official’s memorials were handed to the eunuch behind the curtain. Most of them were not answered immediately in the court, saying that they would be answered by tomorrow.

Prince Huai’s expression was solemn.

After the court session, Prince Huai gave the eunuch a gold ingot and asked him about Su Ji’s situation.

The eunuch smiled and stuffed the gold ingot into his sleeve, flattering Prince

Huai.

Many people would ask him about the Consort Dowager, but Prince Huai was always the most generous one.

However, he would never suspect that Prince Huai had feelings for the Consort Dowager because no one who asked him about the Consort Dowager was truly worried about her.

He believed in this without a doubt.

Pei Huai heard from him that Su Ji had not eaten breakfast since she woke up early today.

Just as he was done here, another eunuch came over and said that the Consort Dowager had summoned him.

Pei Huai hesitated for a moment before letting him lead the way.

Behind the curtain of the bedchamber, Su Ji leaned back on the imperial concubine chair. Her posture was lazy and charming, and she looked sick.

Her waist was still very thin.

Three seconds later, he retracted his gaze.

Su Ji used all the acting skills she had learned in the modern world on him. She told him frankly that ever since she went to his residence a few years ago, she had been exchanging letters with a woman living in his residence.

“Does Prince Huai know about this?”

Pei Huai’s acting skills were not bad either. Su Ji had seen it on Nicha Songpashan before.

“I wonder which woman has the honor,” he asked.

“Anyway…” Su Ji glanced at him through the curtain. “She’s the most beautiful woman in Prince Huai’s residence.”

“…” Pei Huai was silent for half a minute, his face as black as charcoal. “Consort Dowager summoned me this time to talk about this?”

Of course, Su Ji said that it was not just that.

Then, she told him about the last letter she had received last night. She did not mention that she was in a bad mood. She only said that she wanted to make another trip to his residence to see her. However, she knew that she did not like to see people and did not want her to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, she wanted Prince Huai to help her ask if she could see her or not.

With that, Su Ji looked at Pei Huai calmly.

Her eyes were crafty, as if she was watching a good show.

Pei Huai said, “I can help Consort Dowager pass on the message, but I can’t guarantee the answer.”

Su Ji narrowed her eyes.

Wu Zhu’er happened to come in to deliver tea. Su Ji’s gaze followed behind her and looked outside the door. “Zhu’er, I asked you to clean the well outside. Did you clean it today?”

Pei Huai paused.

Wu Zhu’er was stunned. “Yes, it’s already cleaned!”

Su Ji nodded. ‘You may leave.”

The door closed again, and the atmosphere in the room was obviously different from before.

Pei Huai looked at her silently through the curtain.

The emotions hidden in his eyes were hard to understand.

As if he had made up his mind, he asked, “since she doesn’t like to see people…can she wear a mask to meet Your Highness?”

Su Ji rubbed her chin.

A mask…

Even if his face was covered, he had to wear women’s clothes, right?

Pei Huai was too cunning. Su Ji had to block his way out.

“Yes,” She changed the topic. “But I remember her figure very clearly. After all, we took a bath together. If it was someone else behind the mask, I’d Imow with one glance.”

“If that’s the case, it’s better not to force her. Please, Prince Huai…you must convey my intentions to her.”

A vein popped on Pei Huai’s forehead. “Consort Dowager…don’t worry….”
