《Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good》Chapter 7: As Long As You Do One Thing
Advertisement
With one look, she could see that Luo Qing Shuang was deliberately stirring up trouble again. Yet Luo Qing Luan only asked casually, "Oh? Fifth Prince came again today?"
Emotion flashed in her eyes. Luo Qing Shuang was thrilled. It seemed that Fifth Prince was indeed the person whom Luo Qing Luan cared the most about!
Luo Qing Shuang deliberately let out a long sigh before responding. "That's right. Just a moment ago, Fifth Prince came to personally send some presents. However, he had already left. Too bad you didn't come. Otherwise, you could still exchange a few words with him."
"What is there to say between me and him?"
Once Luo Qing Luan finished speaking, she wanted to take Dai Yue and leave, but Luo Qing Shuang immediately blocked her way. "Sigh, how can Younger Sister say such demoralizing things. You're the Fifth Prince's fiancee. Even though he doesn't like you right now, Sister, you still shouldn't give up!"
"That's right, he doesn't like me, the one he likes is you." Luo Qing Luan continued indifferently, "No need to show off in front of me. You like Nangong Chen, so just take him. I could really care less."
Seeing Luo Qing Luan's obviously unhappy appearance, Luo Qing Shuang was even more satisfied. She spun the ruby hairpin in her hand around. The morning light shined upon it, scattering magnificently sparkling rays of light.
As she caressed the ruby hairpin, she spoke somewhat remorsefully, "Younger Sister, I know that you're not happy, but.....whoever the Fifth Prince likes, I also can't do anything about it. The Fifth Prince is like that. Even if the empress granted marriage, he doesn't care. I also already told him that you are the one who's his fiancee, but the Fifth Prince, he......he said......"

How could there be such a shameless person in the world! Luo Qing Luan pondered as she watched Luo Qing Shuang's performance. No great waves moved in her heart. She only felt that it was laughable and simply followed the flow. "What did he say?
Luo Qing Shuang became even more enthusiastic and answered with a smug smile. "He said that I'm the woman that he loves the most. He liked me from the first time he laid eyes on me. Therefore, today, he especially came to gift me this peacock ruby hairpin and said that only such a precious item would be suitable for me."
Right when she finished speaking, she seemed to have just thought of something and promptly said, "But Younger Sister, you really shouldn't be oversensitive. Even though Fifth Prince likes me, I'm aware that he's your fiancee. I won't fight you over him."
Once her voice dropped, she then fixed her gaze on Luo Qing Luan, waiting to see the other's expression of heartbroken distress.
"Really?" Since it's like that, then you two sluts are just the right match for each other. The two of you linking together can be considered eliminating disaster on behalf of the people, saving another family's good man and good woman from getting wrecked."
The corners of Luo Qing Luan's mouth raised into a smile, "Elder Sister, do you want me to go tell Father that the two of you already did a good deed that day. Very possibly, in a period of time, you'll be giving him a grandchild, bringing happiness to Father, also?"
"You......"
Originally, she thought that she could stir Luo Qing Luan into feeling hurt and grieve-stricken. Who could have imagined that she would end up getting mocked instead? She was even threatened with facing Father after getting told about her scandal? How could Luo Qing Shuang still maintain her fake smiling face? She promptly glared at her fuming with rage between gritted teeth.

"Truth be told, ever since I fell into the water due to your schemes, I've already become clear-headed. Maybe I used to admire Nangong Chen in the past, but ever since I knew that he is this kind of lowly man, never satisfied with what he has, I already no longer cherish him. Sister, if you like him, go ahead and take him."
Luo Qing Shuang responded indignantly, "You dare to talk down on Fifth Prince?" Do you believe or not that I will go tell Father.
Simply not taking this level of a threat seriously, Luo Qing Luan smiled instead as she said, "I'm just telling you the truth. Why did you only pay attention to whether he's a lowly man or not?" Seeing that Luo Qing Shuang was about to flare up again, she continued, "If Sister really like Fifth Prince, maybe I can help the two of you fulfill your wish."
[What? She's going to give in so easily?]
Luo Qing Shuang was both surprised and happy, yet also didn't dare to believe it entirely. After all, the matter of Luo Qing Luan pulling her into the water remained fresh in her memory. It's just that......being able to get married to Fifth Prince is her biggest dream. If Luo Qing Luan could take the initiative to withdraw, wouldn't that be the best?!
After she sized Luo Qing Luan up and down, this figure dressed in all white, Luo Qing Shuang finally realized that the girl before her was already completely different from the girl that she was before. Her pure beauty, her refinement, even though she did not apply cosmetics, she could already be considered stunning. How was this anything like herself, who needed to meticulously dress up everyday in order to barely gain her place as the most talented and beautiful woman?
Suppressing the envy in her heart, Luo Qing Shuang knew that for now, she'd better determine as quickly as possible whether Luo Qing Luan was telling a truth or a lie. After all, this matter was too important to her.
Turning it over in her mind, she creased her brows and said probingly, "Are you telling the truth? You're really willing to help me and Fifth Prince accomplish our desires?"
"After all, with regards to us sisters, you and Nangong Chen are a harmonious couple while I'm stuck in the middle. This is also not good, right?" Luo Qing Luan continued on emotionlessly, "As long as you do one thing, it'll work."
Since a condition was raised, this matter seems to be the truth. Luo Qing Shuang couldn't help but be overjoyed. She promptly asked, "Tell me, what is it?"
Luo Qing Luan replied in deadly earnest, "As long as Sister go before the Emperor and personally say that you carry Fifth Prince's child, then, for the sake of his future grandson, how can the emperor not agree to your marriage, right? At that time, once the imperial edict is announced, I have to withdraw even if I don't want to. Tell me, Sister, isn't this a good plan?"

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
