《Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good》Chapter 7: As Long As You Do One Thing

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?"

Peerless Hegemon [OLD]
He traversed two paths in total and left them with an empty heart. He traversed the third path and felt a void in his soul. He let others imprison him so he could seek answers and then recreate the Universe. The Answer was found, yet he was left unsatisfied. Led by the Beast that watched the Universe till its destruction, he found new meaning. In the new life he created, he began walking a path of blood. He choked a Prince with one hand and beheaded a King with the other. He killed a General ten kilometers away with an arrow and even dragged a Continent in order to get what he wanted. Yet beyond the never-ending river of blood, the core of his heart blossomed as he found himself a reason to live other than glory. Under the bleak life of chaos, blood flowed to nurture a flower, that bloomed to represent himself. Instead of Emptiness, he found life from death, and as he looked back at the path he had walked, he smiled as blood coated his lips. This is him, trying to find a place where he can gain humanity. == This story focuses on the world and the characters; there would be genocide, fights, and some bloody encounters. This is not Harem, sorry for Harem lovers, but that’s just how it is. The art for the cover isn’t mine. The credits go to its original creator.

8 180The Black Empress
In a hall, so lavishly decorated, even the vatican would bow down in shame, an army of abominations kneeled, motionless. Each and every entity present could defeat all of mankind, single handedly. And yet, the girl in front of them, they could not stand against. So they chose to follow her instead, forming an army strong enough to threaten the gods themselves. The girl leisurely sat on a throne made of the same black fabric, that reality is painted on, her shoulder occupied by a crow with eyes like molten rock. Oh yeah, she looks like a four year old. Who is she? Why gather an army of such tremendous might? This is the story of a thing, that once was a normal girl, but hasn't been for centuries.
8 192Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
