Chapter 144.2 – Incredibly angry
“I’ll … try my best.” Ye Ji’s expression grew bad as she hesitated before looking towards Xiahou Qing, “What do we do afterwards though? If this plan failed, Xiahou Rui will still marry Shangguan Yiyun and that would be a huge marriage. Then the emperor won’t have an excuse to deny his position as the crown prince. Once he’s the crown prince, it’ll be even harder to pull him down.”
“Do you think I don’t know that?” Xiahou Qing’s mood was gloomy again.
They’d clearly planned it all out but for something to happen just at the climax, vile!
Exactly who was behind it all?
“Right now isn’t the time to get angry, it’s time to try and find a way to solve this. Do you have any ideas?” Ye Ji seemed to have thought of something as her eyes glimmered maliciously.
“Nothing.” His plans were always thought of well ahead, step by step.
Once something disrupted his plans, he’d have to start from the beginning.
“I have an idea.”
Ye Ji lowered her eyes, hiding the emotion behind them.
“Oh?” Xiahou Qing sat up straight, looking at Ye Ji clearly, “What idea?”
“If the second prince suddenly angers the emperor, what do you think would happen?”
“Second brother angering the emperor? How could that be?” Second brother wasn’t an idiot, how could he anger the emperor at this important time?
“As long as there’s a reason, there will always be a way.” Ye Ji’s eyes grew stranger, a clean silhouette appearing in her mind.
Every time she saw it, she always felt it was annoying.
“What reason?”
“We’ll see if there’s someone who’s worth the second prince getting angry with the emperor over. And in a way that would force him onto the path of no return.” Ye Ji raised a brow, glancing towards Xiahou Qing in an almost flirty way.
“You’re saying … love.”
“Love …. Love …. The person that second brother likes …” He seemed to have thought of something as his eyes suddenly widened.
He shot up, his face darkening, “No! This way can’t work!”
“Why can’t it work?” Ye Ji’s face coldened, “It’s not you who can’t bear to part with her, is it?”
“I said no, that means no.” Xiahou Qing’s brows furrowed.
Someone that his second brother liked and would make him abandon everything for, like at the hibiscus flower festival, there was only one.
— Lou Qingwu.
But he’d already planned for her to be his side consort.
How could he bear to send her to his father-emperor?
He couldn’t and wouldn’t be able to deal with that gap.
Furthermore, just thinking about how gentle and warm Lou Qingwu looked with her eyes lowered, made it feel as if a small hand was lightly scratching at his heart, ticklish and numbing.
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t bear to part with her.
Ye Ji laughed coldly, “Someone who wants to accomplish great things can’t be the type to think about love and affection constantly.”
“Then what about you? You want to sacrifice Lou Qingwu, and that’s righteous? You just want to break off the Night Prince’s affection for he!” Xiahou Qing snorted as he sneered at her.
“So what? Do you have a better idea? If we have to start again with a new plan, you might as well just wait for the second prince to be t.i.tled the crown prince!” Ye Ji’s lips tugged as she glared viciously at him.
“Don’t forget what your final target it. It’s just a woman, so what if she’s the most beautiful in the capital? When you sit on that throne, what kind of beauty wouldn’t throw themselves at you?”

TL note:
Sacrifice LQW? HA.
