Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Chapter 42: Getting Married Nonchalantly

Daylight slowly tore through the morning sky, as Blood Feast assassins with silver masks covering half their faces finally reached the master bedroom of the Autumn Jade Courtyard. They kneeled before Liu Rushuang, then respectfully and confidently reported to their clan leader.

“Yesterday, whilst the man dressed in black entered the imperial palace and caused a commotion, we successfully assassinated the crown prince!”

Liu Rushuang gazed at the gradually rising sun out the window. There was a deep glow in her eyes and an evil smirk on the corners of her mouth. “Very well done. You may all return now,” she said flatly.

“Yes, milady,” they said before turning around to leave. Blood Feast assassins always executed Liu Rushuang’s orders perfectly.

Standing to one side, Qing’Er turned to Liu Rushuang and asked, “Young Miss, why do you look so unhappy? You’re going to get married today!”

Liu Rushuang glanced at Qing’Er and replied with a dull voice. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking whether or not I should go ahead with the political marriage.”

Qing’Er thought about what Han Moze did yesterday and immediately said, “Of course you have to go. Young Miss, didn’t you decide yesterday that you would definitely go ahead with it? Why are you hesitating today?”

Liu Rushuang subtly groaned and thought about Han Moze’s shameless and despicable acts. She really didn’t want to marry Han Moze so easily.

But it wasn’t like there were no benefits in marrying him. At the very least, it would be easier for her to get revenge for yesterday!

Liu Rushuang thought about it for a moment and decided to go ahead with the political marriage!

After some careful consideration, Liu Rushuang took a few steps forward and opened up a small secret compartment. She pulled something out — a white jade accessory.

Qing’Er went to pack some of their valuable items from the room and into a box. However, they didn’t have many belongings at all.

The two of them waited a short while after packing until a maid arrived at the Autumn Jade Courtyard. She carefully looked Liu Rushuang up and down, then reported, “Third Young Miss, people from the palace are already in the main courtyard. They ask that you hurry over.”

Liu Rushuang curved the corner of her lips into a cold smirk, then flatly replied, “On my way!”

After the maid passed on the message, she glanced at Liu Rushuang a few more times, then spun around and walked off.

So the Third Young Miss wasn’t actually an fool!

What a real surprise!

Qing’Er saw that the maid had left and beamed, “Young Miss, it looks like nobody will ever dare say anything bad about you!”

Liu Rushuang grinned eerily and refused to comment.

When Liu Rushuang reached the main courtyard with Qing’Er, other people of the Liu residence were all sitting in the room, waiting for her.

Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxing had grim looks on their face and their sharp gazes revealed their desire to kill her.

Sitting in the seats of honor were Minister Liu and Madam Liu who looked abruptly surprised by her appearance, then immediately hostile. As Liu Rushuang walked in, their chilling facial expressions intensified. They thought she was an fool. Never did they imagine she was actually hiding her true identity. How two-faced and evil was she?! At that thought, Minister Liu and Madam Liu gritted their teeth even tighter, as they wanted nothing more than to kill Liu Rushuang on the spot.

The lower seats were occupied by several well-dressed concubines who bullied Liu Rushuang. They scanned Liu Rushuang up and down, as they too never imagined that Liu Rushuang wasn’t a fool. In fact, they hoped that she didn’t hold grudges but ultimately, they wished for Liu Rushuang’s quick death to relieve them from their fears and worries.

Liu Rushuang stared at them all like they were strangers to her. Her heart stopped hurting a long time ago. Didn’t they want her to die quickly? She grinned coldly and unleashed a cold-blooded, heartless look in her dark eyes. She would make them go to hell first.

When Eunuch Li from the imperial palace saw Liu Rushuang, his face turned cold.

The men who the Emperor sent to assisinate her after yesterday’s events had failed. How fortunate of her!

Eunuch Li coldly shot Liu Rushuang a glare, then grinned and spoke with a high-pitched voice. “Princess Changping, you’re finally here. I have waited for you for a very long time. Now, let us set off.”

Liu Rushuang shot a glance at Eunuch Li, who was annoyed at her, knowing full and well that the imperial palace would be heavily dangerous. She had to be careful. “Thank you Eunuch Li for escorting me. We may now leave,” she coldly replied with a forced smile.

Thereafter, Qing’Er stepped out of the mansion, to which she ordered, “Qing’Er, you can just stay right here at the city gates and wait for me!”

Qing’Er nodded and stared at Liu Rushuang with eyes brimming with anxiety.

Liu Rushuang sat in the imperial sedan chair and headed towards the palace.
