Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1243 - 1242: Only Loyal to Jiangshan, Loyal to the People

Chapter 1243: Chapter 1242: Only Loyal to Jiangshan, Loyal to the People

Leng Ji felt as if he had been caught in the crossfire.

If the Prince truly couldn’t control his emotions, did Jing Prince think he was someone who could be persuaded so easily?

However, the fact that the Prince was willing to take the initiative to visit Miss Chu was at least a sign of progress.

Lately, Leng Ji also harbored some doubts in his heart.

The disposition of the Prince had, indeed, truly changed.

"Since that’s the case, be careful on your own."

When Feng Yexuan left, he said something to Leng Ji, who nodded his head and left first.

Chu Wang also secretly left the Imperial Palace shortly after.

This time he didn’t bring many guards; too many people would actually be counterproductive, drawing the attention of those in the jianghu.

The journey to the Prince Residence was unobstructed.

As long as one does not linger outside, they usually would not be easily discovered under normal circumstances.

But...

"Loyal Brother is not receiving guests?" Chu Wang was somewhat surprised; this was not like Chu Lingyang’s style of doing things!

"Not even seeing me?" Loyal Brother had never treated him like this before!

The butler also seemed to be in a difficult position, but still insisted: "I’m sorry, Jing Prince, our Prince is unwell and has already rested. Please go back, Jing Prince."

"That won’t do. Tonight, I must see Loyal Brother!"

He came tonight with a mission, taking the risk; if he could not see Chu Lingyang, what should be done about tomorrow’s early arrangements?

The butler still tried to stop him, but Chu Wang had already pushed him aside and went straight for Chu Lingyang’s bedroom.

But before he could enter, he was stopped by a disheveled Princess at the door.

"Fourth Imperial Brother, the consort and your Loyal Brother have already retired to bed. Please return, Fourth Imperial Brother."

"Loyal Sister-in-law, this..." This was the first time Princess presented herself in such an unseemly manner in front of others.

She had always been dignified and composed, paying special attention to details.

Although now it was only a slightly open neckline, it wasn’t terribly indecent, but for the Princess of the past, this was a wildly unreserved behavior.

The Princess of tonight was behaving out of character, slowly fastening her neckline.

Then she looked at Chu Wang again and said indifferently: "Fourth Imperial Brother, your Loyal Brother truly feels unwell tonight, please come again tomorrow if you have matters to discuss."

"It will be too late by tomorrow!"

Being so disheveled, isn’t it a hint that Loyal Brother is in the prime of his life? How could he possibly be unwell?

The Princess used such a demeanor, appearing gentle, yet it was actually the firmest attitude to tell him that Loyal Brother did not wish to see him.

"Loyal Brother, I do not know what you are thinking, but right now, all we can think about is to protect the Emperor and safeguard this Jiangshan."

"Loyal Brother, you are devoted to the nation, loyal to Nanming and the Emperor, but why are you reluctant to offer help when the Emperor is in the direst straits?"

"Loyal Brother..."

"Fourth Imperial Brother, my Prince is naturally loyal to Nanming and to the common people, willing to lay down his life and shed blood," said the Princess, interrupting him, still with a calm face and a steady tone.

"But, what my Prince is loyal to is only the nation and the common people. As for any struggles within the Imperial Family, my Prince never concerns himself with them."

"Loyal Sister-in-law..."

"Whoever is good for this Jiangshan, for the common people, that is who my Prince is loyal to."

The Princess’s face was stern, without a trace of insincerity.

She looked at Chu Wang earnestly and said: "Fourth Imperial Brother, I cannot and dare not comment on what the Emperor should do, but my Prince is only loyal to Jiangshan and the common people. I ask for the Prince’s understanding."
