HRPM – Chapter 273 Sharpening the Knife to Kill Her (1)

“Miss, get up! His Majesty has summoned you to the palace today. You absolutely can’t be late. Hurry up and get dressed!”

Lüya and Hongye worked together to drag Jin Luoluo out of bed. Their young lady’s habit of sleeping in truly never changed.

Jin Luoluo wailed miserably.

“Can’t I stay unconscious for another couple of days? I know they’re all waiting to settle accounts with me, and now I have to deliver myself right to their doorstep. This is so depressing~~”

“You’ve already been ‘unconscious’ for three days. If you keep this up, we’ll really have to call a doctor to stick needles into you. Miss, the princes aren’t fools. They’ve just been indulging you. After three days, their anger has probably cooled down quite a bit. Just apologize and give them a way to save face. Everyone takes a step back and everything will be fine.”

As Hongye spoke, she helped her into a gauzy dress.

“They aren’t the sort of people who’ll forgive me just because I lower my head and apologize. The reason they haven’t summoned me yet is because pigs are only satisfying to slaughter after they’ve been fattened up. They’re definitely sharpening their knives and waiting for me to enter the palace. Aaaah! My life is doomed!”

Lüya and Hongye completely ignored their mistress’s wild imagination.

As usual, they dressed her up whether she liked it or not. After all, her persecution complex wasn’t anything new.

Resting her chin on her hand, Lüya studied Jin Luoluo thoughtfully.

“How about wearing the willow-green palace gown today? It makes you look delicate and pitiful. It tones down your lioness-like temperament and might make the princes feel sorry for you. Maybe they won’t be quite so angry and will instead think you’re pathetic.”

“That’s right,” Hongye agreed. “We should make your makeup look pale and fragile too. If you look utterly helpless and pitiable, the princes won’t know what to do with you.”

Watching the two maids discuss her as if she weren’t even there, Jin Luoluo became indignant.

“Hey, hey, hey! Could you at least consider my opinion? Who wants to look weak and delicate? Your young lady is going to start a revolution! Dress me up like a female bandit instead. I’m going to completely reform their feudal way of thinking. A bunch of old fossils! It’s just a dance. One of these days I’m even going to make a swimsuit and go swimming. It’s healthy, athletic, and perfectly normal!”

Jin Luoluo spun around dramatically, looking immensely pleased with herself.

Lüya and Hongye exchanged looks.

Just moments ago, their mistress had been lamenting that her life was in danger.

Now she was brimming with energy and revolutionary zeal.

The structure of her brain truly was unlike anyone else’s.

Rather than worrying about her, perhaps they should be worrying about the princes instead.

“Luoluo, darling, the Yun family has sent over the Dragon Pool Jade Cauldron. They said it’s the prize you won from the competition.”
