Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 171: Really So Excessive to Her?

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Really So Excessive to Her?

I really want to give her a slap...

The Empress Dowager was stunned.

How could she have such a rude thought?

"Empress Dowager, are you bullying Miss Huaiyu?" Chu Qianli almost laughed.

Chu Huaiyu was immediately terrified, "Empress Dowager, spare my life! Huaiyu... Huaiyu really..."

"I haven’t bullied you!"

The Empress Dowager was so angry she almost stamped her foot!

So this is what being bullied feels like!

Right, why did she dislike Chu Huaiyu so much just now?

It was because, despite doing nothing at all, this girl looked as if she had been bullied!

Suddenly, she began to understand a bit of Chu Qianli’s grievance.

Could it be just because Chu Huaiyu looks so pitiful, everyone says that it’s Chu Qianli who has always been bullying her?

At this moment, the Empress Dowager felt an even stronger dislike for Chu Huaiyu.

So that’s how it is!

So that’s the way it is, huh!

This Miss Huaiyu... is too good at pretending!

It’s infuriating!

"I haven’t bullied you, why are you crying? It’s really... really disgusting!"

"Ha! Empress Dowager, do you finally understand my plight? Haha..."

Chu Qianli was perhaps the only one in the entire room who could laugh out loud.

"Forget it, Empress Dowager, the matter with Prince Yexuan is urgent. Please come with me first."

Chu Qianli turned and left.

The Empress Dowager followed immediately.

Yu Linglong also wanted to go in but was stopped by Chu Qianli, "It’s none of your business."

"Empress Dowager!" Yu Linglong clutched at the hem of the Empress Dowager’s robe.

The Empress Dowager, already feeling somewhat irritable, could only wave her hand, "Linglong, don’t worry, let me first go in and see Xuanxuan."

The Empress Dowager followed Chu Qianli inside.

Yu Linglong stood outside the door, the plea in her eyes instantly turning to cold indifference.

Because she couldn’t cure Feng Yexuan before, the Empress Dowager’s trust in her had waned.

This won’t do, she must think of a way to stop things from continuing like this.

If the Empress Dowager sides with Chu Qianli, she would have no more chances!

Chu Huaiyu was still standing aside, her face deathly pale.

Qin Liuyan was comforting her, but Chu Huaiyu was still crying.

She glanced at Han Zhan out of the corner of her eye, and he showed no intention of comforting her.

At this moment, Chu Huaiyu was truly heartbroken, those tears streaming down her face were real.

She genuinely couldn’t stop her tears due to sadness.

"Why is the Empress Dowager angry with me? Did Huaiyu do something wrong?"

In the end, she approached Consort Jin, crying, "Consort Jin, Huaiyu really had no ill intentions, I don’t know what I did wrong..."

Consort Jin was frantic at this point.

The Empress Dowager had gone inside, and she badly wanted to go in to see Xuanxuan.

Yet, in the Harem, she had no status at all, and the Empress Dowager did not regard her favorably.

She didn’t dare to say a superfluous word in front of the Empress Dowager.

Now hearing Chu Huaiyu’s cries, even Consort Jin felt repulsed and hastily waved her away, "Go go go, stop annoying me!"

Chu Huaiyu’s eyes widened, big tears rolling down from the corners.

The guards standing by couldn’t bear to watch.

Qin Liuyan wanted to come over and comfort her, but Chu Huaiyu did not want to be close to her at the moment and turned to walk to the doorway before Qin Liuyan could reach her.

Han Zhan and Feng Jinrui were still standing guard outside the door.

Chu Huaiyu looked at Han Zhan with tearful eyes.

She wanted to say something, but with so many people around, she couldn’t utter a word.

Han Zhan remained silent as well.

Before, seeing Huaiyu cry would have made him feel uneasy.

Now, Miss Huaiyu was being bullied by so many people, yet for some reason, he only felt a bit of irritation.

He didn’t want to pay attention to these trivial matters.

But in the end, he couldn’t bear it and said softly,

"Miss Huaiyu doesn’t know medicine; staying here is of no use. It’s better for you to return to your room and rest."

Miss Huaiyu sighed with relief.

At least, Han Zhan cared for her.

She nodded slightly, took one more glance at the tightly closed door, and then whispered, "I will listen to you."

Chu Hongtao was furious at the side.

Consort Jin was still here, and this girl dared to flirt with Han Zhan!

He gave Qin Liuyan a look, and she immediately went over to pull Miss Huaiyu away.

On the way back, Qin Liuyan said anxiously, "Huaiyu, you are to marry Prince Yexuan; you should know, you are now the daughter of Long Qianyue."

"Long Qianyue has a favor with Prince Yexuan; you saw how much he despised Chu Qianli before, yet for the sake of that favor, he still married Chu Qianli."

"You are a thousand times better than Chu Qianli. As long as you are the daughter of Long Qianyue, the Prince will surely take you as his wife!"

"But, Han Zhan has been... deeply affectionate and righteous towards me, how could I possibly?" Miss Huaiyu said with a look of sorrow.

Qin Liuyan persuaded, "Huaiyu, the Prince has power over the whole world and is even more handsome than Han Zhan; isn’t it better to marry the Prince?"

Miss Huaiyu did not speak for a long time and finally nodded her head.

She truly liked Han Zhan, but that night, up close, she had seen Prince Yexuan, and the Prince was... indeed unmatched in beauty.

Any woman would fall for Prince Yexuan’s charm.

Marrying Prince Yexuan was indeed very good.

Only, she still couldn’t bear to part with Han Zhan...

...Inside the room.

As soon as the Empress Dowager saw Feng Yexuan on the sickbed, she became anxious, "Why has Xuanxuan still not woken up?"

"I don’t know what kind of shock you’ve caused the Prince before, he was rushed into anger, and coupled with the remaining toxins, now the poison has invaded his heart vessels, it is not going to be easy to fully recover."

Chu Qianli knew that now in the Imperial Family, perhaps only the Empress Dowager could talk to her calmly.

She said, "I can treat the Prince, but during this time, I need an absolutely quiet environment."

The Empress Dowager looked at her, her lips twitched and she hesitated to speak.

Chu Qianli said, "His Majesty would certainly not be happy to see me getting close to Prince Yexuan; truthfully, if it weren’t for the fear that others could not cure him well, I wouldn’t want to entangle with him at all."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager’s face showed shock.

"Does the Empress Dowager also think that I want to take advantage of this opportunity to reconcile with the Prince?"

"I’m afraid everyone thinks so," the Empress Dowager said candidly.

Chu Qianli laughed coldly, "Rest assured, having signed the divorce paper, I will not cling to Prince Yexuan."

Moreover, this time, it was Feng Yexuan who sought her out.

The Empress Dowager was also clear about this.

She was indeed well in the Duke Residence, and it was certainly Xuanxuan who came to her with injuries of his own.

It indeed wasn’t Chu Qianli’s fault.

"Good, I can promise you, during this period, I assure that no one will disturb you," the Empress Dowager said and sighed deeply before looking at her. "But you are not Long Qianyue’s daughter, and the Emperor... has a strong dislike for you, he will not agree to you being with Xuanxuan."

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianli didn’t care at all, "Then, please listen carefully, Empress Dowager, now, it’s not that the Emperor doesn’t agree, it’s that I don’t want to!"

The Empress Dowager was utterly stunned, such arrogant words!

Did she really not want Xuanxuan anymore?

How was that possible?

Prince Yexuan was peerless in Martial Arts, unbeaten in battles, exquisitely noble, the entire Imperial City, which girl would not wish to marry him?

Could Chu Qianli really let go?

Could this be trusted?

"You Imperial Family members, one after another, all want to kill me. If I continue to stay by the Prince’s side, how many lives do I have to be spared?" Chu Qianli said with a light smile.

The Empress Dowager really wanted to be angry.

How could she dare to say such disrespectful words in front of her, was she not afraid of death?

But involuntarily, the Empress Dowager saw the cold, sarcastic smile on the corners of Chu Qianli’s lips.

Suddenly, an uneasy feeling arose in her heart.

Had they, the Imperial Family, really treated her so badly?
