Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 179: I, Have Seen Her!

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: I, Have Seen Her!

Thus, all eyes fell upon Feng Jinrui.

Feng Jinrui clenched his palm, not wanting to say a word.

But his expression could not hide anything.

Everyone looked and understood completely.

He, too, had seen it with his own eyes.

Consort Jin glanced at Feng Yexuan, wanting to speak but fearing her words would make her son unhappy.

Thinking it over, she could only hold back.

Yu Linglong also dared not say much.

Her ability to step into the Prince Residence again was already very fortunate.

Now she only wanted to take care of the Prince and make him hold her in his heart.

As for everything else, she would not involve herself for the time being.

After all, with Qing Ming there, there was no need for her to speak up.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly and said to Feng Yexuan, "Xuanxuan, you just focus on recovering, the other matters..."

Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, she heard Feng Yexuan say indifferently, "I went to the Duke Residence and saw her!"

This statement was not a question, but a confirmation.

Although he was delirious with illness, he was certain he truly had gone to the Duke Residence and had seen the deceased woman!

There was no mistake!

Everyone was startled, not expecting that he, in such a wounded state, would still remember!

"Jinrui, go see if your emperor father has arrived and welcome him," Consort Jin immediately said.

Feng Jinrui nodded and turned to leave.

The Empress Dowager looked at Consort Jin and naturally understood her intentions.

Feng Jinrui would not lie, keeping him here would not fool anyone.

After Feng Jinrui left, the Empress Dowager continued, "You did go to the Duke Residence, solely to find Chu Qianli."

Feng Yexuan did not speak.

He only remembered going to the Duke Residence and seeing the deceased woman.

What happened after, he had no recollection whatsoever.

The only thing he remembered was that the woman had promised to return with him to the residence once he recovered.

She had promised!

But why had he not seen her upon awakening?

"Did you drive her away?" His gaze finally settled on the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Dowager, tell me!"

"I didn’t, and neither did anyone here, none of us drove her away."

Though the Empress Dowager’s heart was heavy, she could not defy the emperor’s edict.

No one was allowed to mention the matter of Prince Yexuan recuperating for three days in the Duke Residence; everyone must assert with certainty that it was Yu Linglong who treated him in the Prince Residence!

The Empress Dowager, in saying this, was also not lying.

"Chu Qianli did not come back with you, Xuanxuan, are you still going to persist in your delusion?"

Feng Yexuan’s face was expressionless, but his fingertips slowly tightened.

"Prince, Princess... Miss Chu truly did not wish to return. I can guarantee with my life that my words carry no falsehoods," someone said.

Chu Qianli’s reluctance to return was something Qing Ming knew all too well.

The current Chu Qianli was already mingling with Han Zhan, which he had witnessed with his own eyes!

"Xuanxuan, if you think we’re all deceiving you, then... once you’ve recovered, you can go and ask Miss Chu yourself," the Empress Dowager suggested with a soft sigh.

She really did not have the heart to deceive him.

But indeed, Chu Qianli had personally admitted that she did not wish to be with Xuanxuan.

The Empress Dowager could see that the words Chu Qianli spoke that day were true.

Chu Qianli did not care at all for the position of Princess Yexuan!

That girl... the Empress Dowager had only met her a few times, yet for some reason, despite everyone criticizing her, she could not bring herself to dislike her.

On the contrary, she always felt that Chu Qianli had a quality that no one else possessed.

This quality was mysteriously attractive, making one want to get closer to her.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Family did not favor her, and the emperor would not allow a singer’s daughter to become the future Empress of Beiming Country.

And Chu Qianli, being stubborn and unyielding, would not debase herself to be a concubine for Xuanxuan.

Thus, she and Xuanxuan, had no future together.

Perhaps it’s best to cut the Gordian knot.

"Xuanxuan, once you have recovered, go and ask her yourself. I will not stop you, and no one can stop you, can they?"

Feng Yexuan’s eyes darkened, those eyes gradually becoming icy and unfeeling.

That dead woman wasn’t willing to come back with him; he knew this all along!

That day, when he was sick and delirious, she was indeed deceiving him!

She was unwilling to return!

The divorce paper in his hand gradually became crumpled and slowly, a wisp of smoke rose up.

Upon seeing this, Yu Linglong immediately became anxious, "Prince, you must not exert yourself, your injuries have not yet healed!"

The Empress Dowager and Consort Jin also panicked seeing this.

Consort Jin’s tears finally couldn’t be held back, rolling down her cheeks, "Xuanxuan, don’t hurt yourself! Is it worth it, for a woman who has no feelings for you?"

The Empress Dowager immediately went to grasp his large palm, but as soon as she touched it, she was scalded and quickly let go.

As the divorce paper was about to be burned to ashes by his palm force, everyone became anxious.

"Xuanxuan, if you wish, all the women in the world could be at your disposal, why must you have someone who doesn’t like you?"

Someone who doesn’t like him...

Feng Yexuan’s eyes were deep, his clenched palm finally gradually loosening.

That divorce paper had already been burnt in his palm force by a large extent.

But the remaining corner was still clear, bearing her name—Chu Qianli!

Chu Qianli!

Good! Very good!

Feng Yexuan suddenly gestured with his hand, and the bed curtains were brought down by his palm wind.

"Xuanxuan..."

"I am tired," came his deep and emotionless voice from behind the curtains. "Tonight, I don’t want to see anyone."

"Xuanxuan, your Imperial Father..."

But he lay down, no longer willing to say another word.

The Empress Dowager and Consort Jin looked at each other, Consort Jin shaking her head.

Xuanxuan’s temperament was just like this; if he was unwilling, even if the Emperor himself came, he couldn’t be persuaded.

If he didn’t want to see anyone, then he really didn’t want to see anyone.

Even if the Emperor charged him with the crime of disrespect, he would not compromise.

This is Prince Xuan!

The Empress Dowager sighed quietly without a sound and eventually left with Consort Jin and Yu Linglong.

Qing Ming saw them out and then stood guard in the outer room.

Who knows how much time had passed when Feng Yexuan’s chilling eyes slowly opened.

"Tonight, did you truly see them together with your own eyes?"

This sentence was bone-chilling!

Even from behind the screen, Qing Ming could feel his violent aura.

Qing Ming felt a chilling sensation on his neck, his blood nearly freezing in his veins.

He knelt down with a thud, and said solemnly, "Prince, with my own eyes, I saw Chu Qianli in disheveled clothes hugging Han Zhan. If there is any falsehood in my words, may I be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"

Feng Yexuan said nothing more.

His cold eyes slowly closed.

At the corner of his lips, a trickle of blood slowly slid down.

...

In the following three days, Chu Qianli finally had some peace.

Neither Han Zhan nor Chu Huaiyu came to trouble her again.

On the third day, the Duke Residence suddenly became bustling, with everyone getting busy early in the morning.

It was only in the evening that Chu Qianli found out what everyone had been busy with.

It turned out that the Empress had suddenly set up a banquet, intending to entertain the young lords and ladies.

Everyone was busy preparing for tonight’s banquet, all wanting to show their most perfect side to the Empress and the princes.

Only Chu Qianli, who received no notification and no one prepared her for it.

Originally she did not want to go, but the messenger said that the Empress had specifically instructed that all the young ladies of the Duke Residence must attend.

Who knows what kind of a trap they had set up, waiting for her.

Chu Qianli changed into a simple outfit and, too lazy to fuss over her hair, boarded the horse-drawn carriage and hurriedly headed for the Imperial Palace.

Unexpectedly, in the palace, before reaching the banquet hosted by the Empress, in the back garden, she ran into the last person she wished to see...
