Chapter 527: Compensation
Ji Yu who had stepped out of the palanquin paused when she saw Chu Yanqing. She blinked her eyes and furrowed her brows, as she could not understand why Chu Yanqing was looking at her in this manner. Her gaze was similar to a lover who had been wronged, but Ji Yu was certain that the two of them had never clashed head-on before.
"Concubine Chu?" Seeing that the latter was not speaking, Ji Yu decided to speak to her first.
In fact, it would have been better if she hadn't spoken to Concubine Chu because the latter narrowed her eyes and glared at her as if the hatred that she held for Ji Yu upped one level more.
"Imperial Ji seemed to have really wonderful timing. It hasn't been less than two seconds before his majesty arrived at the Phoenix Palace and Imperial Ji came after him just as soon," Chu Yanqing stated sarcastically before bowing her head and then walking towards her palanquin.
Behind her, Nanny Meng apologetically bowed to Ji Yu before chasing after Chu Yanqing. Her expression was distraught as she knew that she had to train Chu Yanqing from the start, this missy of hers was fine before she arrived at the Imperial Palace, what happened to her all of a sudden?
Ji Yu stared after Chu Yanqing. In fact, she wanted to tell her that she did not come here to look for Zhai Tianyu and that she was seriously here to congratulate Liu Hui Ying but given that her surname was 'Ji' and Ji Yang was her father, Ji Yu knew that regardless of what she said nothing was going to help her.
She sighed and then looked at the Phoenix Palace in front of her and sighed.
"Let's go back," she said to the palanquin bearers but as soon as she turned around, her new maid who took the place of Xiao Lin spoke up, "What are you doing, your Highness? Are you going to leave just like this ?"
Xiao He looked at Ji Yu as if she were a fool. The Emperor was right behind the doors, and yet, she was choosing to leave.
Ji Yu closed her eyes and then turned to look at Xiao He. Her lips curled up in a smile which was not a smile, she looked down at Xiao He without hiding her contempt for her and asked, "Xiao He, do you know why you are a maid, and I am an imperial concubine?"
But even so, they looked at him with wary looks in their eyes, which caused Zhai Tianyu to glance at them.
The second his gaze met with the two women, they flinched and lowered their heads.
"What's wrong with them? Why are they staring at me like I am some predator who is going to eat you, my queen?" Zhai Tianyu asked with a raise of his brows.
Liu Hui Ying gave him a fake smile and then replied, "They are only worried about me. Who knows, you will throw me in the cold palace again, Your Majesty?"
"You know I had no choice," Zhai Tianyu retorted with a pout. He turned into a baby in front of Liu Hui Ying as he said, "I really did not want to do it, but Lord Ji made a fuss and I had no choice left in front of me. And I did give you as much freedom as possible, didn't I? You even stuck that odd note on my back."
He finished with a bite of his tongue. He still could not believe that Liu Hui Ying called him a pervert. From where was he a pervert?
The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhai Tianyu became as he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and said, "I still haven't demanded compensation for what you did to me. At least I compensated you, my queen."
He took a step forward as his voice went dangerously low, and he asked, "How are you going to compensate me, Hui Ying?"
