The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking

Chapter 124: Conspiracy

Xia Churan finally relaxed and smiled. “Let’s see how arrogant that sl*t can be after tomorrow.”

Ruan Yu burst into laughter and said, “But she has her pride. Shouldn’t she throw herself into the lake after what happened?”

The two of them imagined Xia Muqing’s pitiful outcome and laughed out loud.

Xia Muqing stood on the roof and processed their conversation. She shook the bag in her hand and an idea struck her.

The next day, before the sky lit up, a group of servants came to wake Xia Muqing up. Xia Muqing looked at them unhappily and asked, “What are you all doing?”

Before the servants could answer, a loud voice came from outside the door. “Muqing, King Zhennan wants to come to the Xia residence today. So I came to prepare you in advance.”

Xia Muqing was startled. So Ye Qingxuan was coming. He didn’t tell her last night.

She had originally wanted to chase Ruan Yu out, but after seeing how she was dressed gorgeously, she changed her mind. She obediently dressed herself with the help of the maids.

She didn’t know what Ruan Yu was thinking. Even if she wanted Xia Churan to enter the king’s residence in her place, shouldn’t her daughter be dressed glamorously? Yet, she was dressed like this. Did she want Ye Qingxuan to fancy her instead?

Ruan Yu initially intended to stay for a while to put up an act before she left.

Normally, it would take only a few minutes to finish dressing. However, after dragging it out for two hours, the maids had only just finished combing her hair.

Xia Muqing was getting impatient. She asked, “When is King Zhennan arriving?”

Her intention was to remind them to hurry up, but unexpectedly the maid replied, “First Young Mistress, King Zhennan will only be here in six hours.”

Xia Muqing was shocked. Six hours?

So why did they wake her up so early?

“All of you can leave. I’ll do it myself.”

Seeing that they were about to retort, Xia Muqing added sternly, “No one is allowed to enter and disturb me.”

The maids retreated.

Xia Muqing pulled her freshly combed hair aside and hugged the blanket to sleep.

Ruan Yu came to her room once again. She knew about the situation but she didn’t say a word. In any case, she had already done what she was supposed to do. Xia Muqing wasn’t cooperative and if she appeared in front of King Zhennan looking disheveled, it wouldn’t be her fault.

In fact, Ruan Yu hoped that the king would blame her for this.

Seconds and minutes passed. The maids became more anxious as they looked at the silent room. There was only an hour left until the arrival of King Zhennan.

A maid knocked on the door under everyone’s expectant gaze, but there was no response.

The young girl swallowed her saliva and summoned her courage to knock on the door again. This time, she knocked a little louder.

If she didn’t get a response this time, she probably wouldn’t have the courage to knock on the door again.

Fortunately after a while, the person inside spoke.

“Come in.”

Xia Muqing calculated that it was about time as she slowly opened her eyes.

The servants heaved a sigh of relief and rushed in with her clothes, accessories and makeup. Everyone was busy except for the main character, Xia Muqing, who was still sitting on the bed as she put on her shoes lazily.

The maids couldn’t take it anymore. They snatched the shoes and said, “First Young Mistress, let us help you wear your shoes.”

Xia Muqing laughed and said, “Why are you all so anxious? Isn’t there one more hour?”

The maids answered in unison, “It’s less than an hour.”

Xia Muqing didn’t want to make things difficult for them, so she could only play along. Seeing that their eyes had turned red from anxiety, she felt a little guilty. She took the comb from their hands and easily combed her own hair. Then, she picked out a white jade hairpin from the jewelery tray and gently inserted it into the top of her head.
