Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Break Your Leg Second Watch (1)_1

Yanqing Palace

Consort Huo sat on the pear wood circle armchair, staring intently at Huo Yuan, her voice rising harshly once again.

"Are you going to agree or not?"

Huo Yuan narrowed his eyes, his voice deep, "My apologies, sister. I cannot agree."

"Hehe..."

Consort Huo let out a cold laugh, mocking him: "I didn’t expect this from my little brother, such a passionate and persistent man. For the sake of a woman, you are prepared to risk your family clan and your life. That’s really some ambition!"

Huo Yuan ignored his sister’s mockery, speaking calmly, "Sister, your words are too heavy. In this world, there are not many women who have caught my eye. In over twenty years, there has been only her. It is because of this that I strive relentlessly to pursue her. I hope that you can support me!"

"Fool!"

Fury showed on Consort Huo’s face and she abruptly stood up, her face flushed with anger.

She had been nagging him for nearly an hour, but he still showed no sign of relenting, insisting on marrying that woman. If it weren’t for King Qin’s involvement, she would have been more than happy to fulfil his wish. After all, he was her only legitimate blood brother. However, King Qin’s interference complicated matters.

King Qin, the only legitimate son of Great Jin Nation, is known for his deep thoughts and ruthless means. He’s a dangerous character.

Over the years, she had never heard of King Qin favouring any woman, but now, evidently, he had truly fallen for that woman. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed her to cause the Empress to faint and slap Princess Zhao Yang.

For a woman that he was so keen on, would he let her brother try to take her away so easily?

Moreover, considering King Qin’s ruthlessness, the whole Huo family could be in danger due to this issue. Not to mention the enormous wealth of the Huo family, even the lives of the entire family clan could be at stake!

She could not allow her brother to have the slightest inclination towards that woman, given the survival of the Huo family was at stake. Therefore, after the banquet, she called her brother into her Yanqing Palace and tried to persuade him earnestly. If he didn’t agree, she would not let him leave.

However, every family resident’s time to enter the palace was strictly regulated, even the Empress’s mother dared not exceed it.

As the time had passed, Huo Yuan still hadn’t been persuaded and showed no sign of letting up. Consort Huo was so angry that she picked up a teacup and threw it at Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan didn’t dodge, the teacup hit him in the head, broke with a ’crack’, and then fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"You disappointing boy, get out, I don’t want to see you again——"

Consort Huo’s voice choked up, she was moved to tears by her stubborn brother.

Huo Yuan bowed deeply to Consort Huo and left quietly.

The nanny serving Consort Huo came in with a bowl of longan lotus seed soup, softly advising, "Your Highness, please don’t cry. If His Majesty comes later and sees your swollen eyes, he’ll ask questions."

Hearing this, Consort Huo hurriedly stopped her tears, ordered the palace maidens to fetch water. After washing her face, she had her makeup kit fetched, reapplying her makup while checking her reflection in the mirror, inspecting it from all angles to make sure there were no flaws before relaxing.

"Ah!"

Gazing at her beautiful reflection in the lotus mirror, Consort Huo spoke with a touch of sadness, "Living here in constant fear, always anxious, and the family still causes so much worry. Is this even a life fit for a human being?"

After speaking, her eyes once again filled with tears.

The old palace maid hurriedly comforted her: "Your Highness, why are you sad again? Please don’t be like this. As for the matter of Home Minister, that also doesn’t matter. Just now I heard that the Empress Dowager is planning to use that girl for a marriage alliance with Liaodan!"
