Bab 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.
