<h4>Chapter 70b: Stop at Nothing to Steal the Girl</h4>


    Having just obtained the Emperor’s consent to bestow marriage upon him, Nn Ye also just returned home when he found out Nangong Qing came. In a rare moment, he was in the mood to have the kitchen make some food to apany wine, preparing to have a proper drink.


    Within the beautiful pavillion, quite a few cups of wine and apanying dishes were disyed. Keepingpany in the colorful scene were two people whose moods were simrly good. It was rare to see Nn Ye not ice-cold like he usually was. Nangong Qing was a bit surprised and couldn’t help but teasingly say, “Ziqing, did you already find out about my matters, that’s why you’re happy on my behalf?”


    Nangong Qing was actually very clear about Nn Ye’s news channels. As long as he wanted, Nn Ye could even find out exactly which concubine each of the court officials slept with the night before, or how many articles of clothing they were wearing.


    And as for the matter of him choosing a Crown Prince Consort, that’s too well known. It wouldn’t be strange even if he Nn Ye knew that he liked Luo Qing Luan and hoped that his imperial father will issue an imperial decree as soon as possible.


    Downing a cup of amber wine in one gulp, Nn Ye said indifferently, “What, is your big daying soon?”


    So happy that he simply could not hide it anymore, while Nn Ye was the best target for sharing, Nangong Qing immediately said, “Ziqing, I’m telling you. Just now, I met with Imperial Mother. She indeed also likes Luo Qing Luan and even said that she’ll meet with Imperial Father to bestow marriage upon me.” Thinking about how he’d very quickly be able to marry the woman he loved, Nangong Qing’s face disyed an intoxicating smile. Sighing, he continued, “I’ve never thought before that one day, I’ll actually be able to marry a girl who I really love. Miss Luo, she’s truly a virtuous and gentle, pure and righteous. To be able to be herpanion in this lifetime is really the happiest thing in my life.”


    “Really?” Nn Ye only answered casually, without any facial expression whatsoever.


    After saying a few more things, Nangong Qing finally noticed that Nn Ye’s unusualness. He clearly was still smiling somewhat just now. Why was he gloomy again right now? “Ziqing, you’re not worried about something you?”


    “Look, do I look like someone who’s worried?” Nn Ye asked a question in reply.


    “However......”


    Frowning, Nangong Qing put the wine cup down and continued sternly, “Ziqing, we’re close friends, if something’s on your mind, don’t hesitate to tell me. If I can help, I definitely won’t hold back, but has something happened with your Dark Night Hall?”


    A mocking smiling expression shed through Nn Ye’s face. He replied coldly, “Nangong Qing, there’s nothing wrong with my Dark Night Hall. Rather, it’s your circumstances. I’m afraid it’s somewhat far from good.”


    This fellow wanted to fight over his woman?


    Anything else could be discussed, except for this matter. He surely wouldn’t allow it. Thatss could only be his. He certainly wouldn’t let off anyone who wanted to touch her. If he didn’t consider the fact that the two of them had known each other for many years, he absolutely wouldn’t stay his hand.


    Having always regarded Nn Ye as an oracle. Such shocking wordsing from his mouth made all of the excitement in Nangong Qing’s heart immediately dissipate into nothingness. His eyebrows creased as he said in a heavy voice. “Ziqing, tell me. How is my circumstances far from good?”


    Could it be that Nn Ye had discovered something that he wasn’t aware of? Once he thought of this, Nangong Qing felt a little worried.


    Casting him a cold and detached nce, Nn Ye answered. “Do you think that marrying the Luo family’s second daughter is such an easy matter? The tone of his voice was heavy, without the slightestck of seriousness, as if once Nangong Qing dered his cherished desire, he would face imminent disaster.


    “Ziqing, it turns out you’re talking about this matter?” Once Nangong Qing heard this, the worry which filled his heart immediately disappeared. He waved his hand indicating it’s nothing and continued, “I even thought you are talking about something else. If it’s this matter, then you can rx, with Imperial Mother stepping forward, there certainly won’t be a problem. Miss Luo......”


    “Looks like you really don’t understand a lot of things.” Nn Ye interrupted him.


    “Do you know something?” Nangong Qing asked.


    Being warned again and again, Nangong Qing finally felt that something wasn’t right. Nn Ye had always been his assistant. The two were also close friends. The other absolutely wouldn’t scare him for no rhyme or reason


    “I’m asking you, have you ever considered what the consequences will be once you formally proposed to marry Luo Qing Luan as your consort?” Nn Ye asked.


    “Consequences......I seem to feel there isn’t any consequence.”


    “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about Nangong Chen, the Fifth Prince?” Nn Ye captured his attention one word at a time.


    Nangong Qing finally thought of this matter. Not long ago, his fifth brother had just cancelled their fifteen year long engagement and turned to marrying her elder sister, Luo Qing Shuang. If he were to propose marrying Luo Qing Luan at this juncture, then what would Nangong Chen think?


    In the past, he didn’t consider this at all. Having been reminded by Nn Ye, he seemed to understand something. But after careful consideration, he still felt that there’s nothing wrong, somewhat unable to figure out what in the world was the matter.


    “To tell you the truth, based upon thetest news I’ve received, our Fifth Prince is indeed quite the casanova. In the past, he cancelled his and Luo Qing Luan’s engagement, because he’s always thought that she was very ugly. Now that he knows her true appearance, his heart has already been moved for some time, and he’s prepared to secretly tell his father-inw that he’d like to marry Luo Qing Luan as his main consort.”


    After a series of smooth sounding nonsense, Nangong Qing listened with huge changes in hisplexion. “What, Fifth Brother actually still wants to marry Miss Luo? Hasn’t he already taken the sister to be his side consort?”


    Nn Ye smiled coldly. “Don’t tell me you don’t know what kind of personality Nangong Chen has? He even itches to take thosedies from Immortal Dream Pavilion to be his concubines, Luo Qing Luan is so remarkably beautiful, what’s so strange about him taking a fancy to her.”


    “I’m afraid you still don’t know. Nangong Chen already spoke to Luo Cheng about it. Moreover, Luo Cheng already agreed to this marriage.”


    Once he heard this, Nangong Qing pped the table and shouted angrily. “He dares!”
