Chapter 181: If She Spits Blood in Front of Him

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: If She Spits Blood in Front of Him

Chu Qianli had just finished speaking when suddenly, her jaw tightened!

Then, there came a harsh pain!

She widened her eyes, staring dead at the man who instantly appeared before her!

This man’s Qinggong had reached a level of near perfection.

In just the blink of an eye, he had moved from a dozen steps away to directly in front of her.

Her jaw was gripped tightly by him.

Feng Yexuan’s five fingers tightened, and her face was immediately pinched by him.

Pain!

So painful that her eyebrows furrowed tightly together!

But she still bit her lip, refusing to show weakness in front of him!

Even though, his frightening inner strength was almost making her spit blood!

"Don’t think you can really do whatever you want,"

Feng Yexuan’s indifferent eyes, like the pitch-black Han Pond, were bottomless and as chilling and dreadful as hell itself.

Chu Qianli didn’t speak.

She was in too much pain to speak!

But even without speaking, her eyes were filled with defiance.

Feng Yexuan let out a cold hum and suddenly let go of her.

"Don’t let this prince see you misbehaving again, or you shall see what I can do!"

He walked away.

His departing figure was indescribably cold and merciless.

Yu Linglong smiled at her before quickly catching up, "Yexuan, I’ll accompany you to the Empress Dowager’s palace."

He did not refuse.

Yu Linglong immediately quickened her pace to walk alongside him.

The smile on the corner of her lips contained both surprise and relief.

Finally, he no longer cared for Chu Qianli.

Her opportunity had finally come.

Chu Qianli, who was left behind, didn’t rush to leave but just leaned against the trunk of a tree, silent, deep in thought.

Feng Mingzhu, who was hiding behind the arch until Feng Yexuan had walked away, finally dared to come out with her palace maid.

"Why do you have to make trouble and offend the Fourth Royal Brother? Don’t you know all the younger members of the palace fear him?"

She walked over to Chu Qianli and after thinking for a moment, added, "Oh right, I am Princess Feng Mingzhu. I know you, the former Princess Consort Yexuan... Hmm, former Princess Consort."

After pausing, she continued, "You know? You are quite famous among us princesses! I have admired you for a long time... Hey, why aren’t you speaking?"

Chu Qianli still leaned against the trunk, her lips tightly sealed, not saying a word.

Feng Mingzhu tilted her head and examined her, "Hey, you look pale... you seem off... Wow! What are you doing?"

Finally, Chu Qianli couldn’t hold it any longer; she turned her head and, with a retching sound, spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Her legs went weak, and she nearly knelt down.

It was only thanks to Feng Mingzhu’s quick response that she was able to support her, "Dingdong, what are you dazing for? Help quickly!"

The maid named Dingdong was evidently frightened by Chu Qianli’s spitting of blood.

Now called out by the princess, she immediately came to her senses.

Hurriedly, she and Feng Mingzhu helped Chu Qianli to a stone bench nearby to sit down.

Feng Mingzhu took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of Chu Qianli’s lips, "How are you feeling? Do we need to call the Imperial Physician?"

Chu Qianli didn’t speak; she couldn’t utter half a word at this moment.

Feng Yexuan’s inner strength had earlier thrown her breathing into complete disarray.

The fact that she could endure until that scoundrel left before spitting blood was no small feat.

And to make matters worse, Feng Mingzhu’s incessant chatter meant she couldn’t even enjoy a moment of peace to recover her breath.

Feng Mingzhu saw that she wasn’t speaking and felt a surge of panic, hurriedly saying, "Dingdong, go and fetch the Imperial Physician quickly!"

"Yes!" Dingdong stood up, ready to leave immediately.

Chu Qianli frowned deeply, her voice hoarse as she said, "...No... need, have her... come back."

Dingdong hesitated, looking at Feng Mingzhu.

Feng Mingzhu could only look at Chu Qianli, "You’ve vomited blood, are you really... sure you don’t need the Imperial Physician?"

But if they were to summon the Imperial Physician, and it happened to alarm the Emperor or the Empress Dowager, they wouldn’t know how to explain the situation.

The Loyal Brother wielded immense power within the Imperial Palace.

Whoever crossed him would suffer the consequences.

Chu Qianli, a former Princess who had been discarded, couldn’t compete against the Loyal Brother.

"Are you really sure? How about you come with me to the Princess Gardens, and I’ll have my Doctor check on you?"

"No need," Chu Qianli took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

It took a great effort, but she finally caught her breath.

"I am fine."

She lifted her hand to wipe the corner of her lips, only then noticing that the bloodstains there had already been cleaned.

Raising an eyebrow, she saw that this girl claiming to be the Ninth Princess was beautifully and generously proportioned.

But unlike other elaborately dressed girls and Princesses, she was dressed quite casually, without any air of a Princess at all.

"Ninth Princess?" She was somewhat skeptical.

"What is it? Don’t I look like a Princess to you?" Feng Mingzhu glanced downwards at herself.

It was fine, she was simply not in full dress.

She shrugged her shoulders, "All that formal attire is such a hassle to wear, and don’t judge me by my appearance—I am wealthy! My mother left me lots of money; I’m not poor at all!"

Chu Qianli felt an urge to laugh.

This Ninth Princess really was unlike any other Princess she had met.

Who goes around boasting about their wealth? Doesn’t displaying wealth openly invite covetousness?

"How are you feeling? You really don’t look well," said Feng Mingzhu as she tilted her head to look at her.

After some rest, Chu Qianli’s complexion was still pale, but her breathing seemed much calmer.

Feng Mingzhu sighed softly, saying, "We’ve heard about what happened between you and Loyal Brother. Why didn’t you tell him about your injury? Also, just now, it was clearly Yu Linglong who was wrong."

After thinking about it, Feng Mingzhu started to feel angry!

"That Yu Linglong, relying on the favor of the Empress Dowager, acts tyrannically in the Palace! I’m just waiting, sooner or later someone will deal with her!"

Chu Qianli remained silent.

The Imperial Palace was a breeding ground for trouble, and disaster often sprang from careless words.

She wasn’t familiar with Feng Mingzhu, nor did she understand her.

Many things didn’t need to be said.

"Why are you as sullen as a gourd? Are you still angry with my Loyal Brother?"

Feng Mingzhu shook her head, sighing, "Look at you, you must have a bad temper too, stubborn and proud, not knowing how to act coquettishly in front of Loyal Brother!"

"Just now, if you had been like Yu Linglong, Loyal Brother might not have doubted you, and you could have shown him your injury, or even, vomit blood in front of him!"

"Why did you endure it?"

"If you had vomited blood in front of him, he might have felt sorry for you! Women need to learn to appear weak; men are then more prone to cherish you—just look at that Yu Linglong!"

"Why should I want a man’s pity?" Chu Qianli replied with disdain.

Feng Mingzhu frowned, examining her.

After a while, she shook her head reluctantly, "Never mind, it’s Loyal Brother we’re talking about. It’s better to avoid trouble. From now on, just steer clear of him, and you’ll be fine."

Feng Mingzhu helped her to stand up and took a look at her outfit, then shook her head again.

"You came for the Empress’s banquet too, right? Look at you, dressed even more plainly than I am! And you have the nerve to say I don’t look like a Princess!"

"Let’s go, I know where the banquet is being held, I’ll take you there... oh no, Loyal Brother and Yu Linglong are also heading back. Tonight, you’d better not infuriate Loyal Brother again! If he gets angry, he won’t even give face to the Empress Dowager, let alone the Empress. Be careful!"
