Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 230: Prince, Won’t You Do Something About It?

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Prince, Won’t You Do Something About It?

Qing Ming hurriedly said, "Prince, since you gave the ’Muscle/Tendon Change Classic’ to Chu Qianli, she must have already practiced it for some time."

"She has cultivated a powerful Inner Strength, while Miss Huaiyu is so frail; how could she withstand it?"

Qing Ming’s face was filled with anger.

Chu Huaiyu looked pitifully aggrieved.

Only Chu Qianli, still watched everything with a cold eye, as if, none of it had anything to do with her at all.

"Come forth," Feng Yexuan suddenly called out.

Outside the door, two guards nodded and said, "Prince!"

"Take Qing Ming down and administer fifty strokes of the cane!"

"What?" Qing Ming was utterly stunned. What did the Prince mean by this?

Leng Ji, who had been coldly observing the whole time, finally couldn’t help but speak up, "Last night, Prince Yexuan sealed Lady Li’s acupoints. Now, not only can she not use any Inner Strength, but she is also even weaker than an ordinary person."

Leng Ji glanced at Qing Ming, then at Chu Huaiyu, whose complexion had instantly turned deathly pale. In fact, he truly harbored some resentment.

After serving by the Prince’s side for so many years, how could Qing Ming be so blinded by Chu Huaiyu that he couldn’t see the obvious?

The Prince never kept the useless around, especially not such a capable aide at his side.

It can only be said that due to Chu Huaiyu, all of Qing Ming’s abilities were utterly degraded.

If it were in Lady Li’s words, that would be, sick!

Qing Ming glanced at Chu Qianli, and for a moment, he himself was bewildered.

Upon looking closer, he realized that Chu Qianli’s complexion was indeed a bit pale, and her slender figure lacked the sharpness of the past.

All that was left was pride, yet her breathing was clearly unstable.

Thinking back, when she had entered the door earlier, her footsteps were light, and her form was emaciated, quite different from her usual self.

He had only thought she was pretending to be frail in front of the Prince, which made him even more disgusted the more he watched!

But Qing Ming was still not giving up.

"Prince, perhaps... perhaps she has already undone the acupoints by herself..."

But he didn’t continue this train of thought, realizing he had said the wrong thing.

Feng Yexuan raised an eyebrow, his voice cool as he said, "So, you think that anyone can undo the acupoint sealing technique used by this Prince?"

"This subordinate knows his mistake!" Qing Ming knelt on one knee.

He truly had made a mistake!

But he still didn’t believe that Chu Qianli was innocent!

This malicious woman, Chu Qianli, must have used some special means to bring Miss Huaiyu down to the ground!

Miss Huaiyu is kind and gentle; how could she ever scheme to frame someone else?

It must be Chu Qianli!

That damned Enchantress! He would never let her off!

Qing Ming was escorted down by two guards and taken to the back courtyard for his punishment.

Chu Huaiyu swayed unsteadily, and whether it was nerves or something else, she seemed on the verge of fainting.

"Prince, Huaiyu... Huaiyu is fine..."

Suddenly her vision darkened, and she was about to collapse.

But, no one was there to catch her this time.

Xiaoya did not dare to come in, and Qing Ming had been taken away.

Why did the Prince still appear so indifferent, unfazed?

She didn’t know if anyone would catch her if she fainted.

Instead, Chu Qianli looked at her and smiled, "Sister Huaiyu, if you’re going to faint, you might as well hurry up and do it. Maybe the Prince will take pity and pick you up."

"Looking like you’re about to faint but not fainting, it seems really strange, you know!"

"Fifth Sister, how can you be so... so..."

Chu Huaiyu hadn’t finished speaking when she really collapsed, falling to the ground.

But she still tried to lift her head and looked at Feng Yexuan, her voice hoarse, "Prince, I also... do not know why, but today I feel particularly sensitive."

"I am fine, I just need to go back and rest for a moment, then..."

"Prince, I have something to say to you."

Chu Qianli walked up to Feng Yexuan, blocking all of Chu Huaiyu’s view.

Feng Yexuan looked at her, his gaze calm, showing not the slightest hint of emotional change, "Speak."

"I want to make a deal with you."

"A deal?" Feng Yexuan raised an eyebrow, his cold gaze sweeping over her, "What qualifies you?"

"At least, there are some things that the Prince does not know, and I believe that the Prince will definitely be interested."

"Let’s hear them." Feng Yexuan picked up his cup, unusually patient today.

Chu Qianli, however, turned to look at Chu Huaiyu, who was still lying on the ground, too weak to get up, and said expressionlessly, "It has to do with Heifeng Cliff, a matter of great importance that can’t be overheard by just anyone."

She moved aside to make sure Feng Yexuan had a clear view of Chu Huaiyu.

Chu Huaiyu kept pleading with her eyes for his sympathy, her voice pitiful, "Prince, Huaiyu... didn’t mean for this to happen, I just... I just fell and haven’t been able to recover since."

She knew Qing Ming was punished with caning, and the situation today was truly unfavorable for her.

But now that she’d started the "fallen to the ground" act, she couldn’t stop.

If she stopped, wouldn’t it mean she was really pretending?

She wasn’t pretending, she was truly pushed down by Chu Qianli.

Her body was so fragile, of course, she couldn’t withstand even the slightest force compared to an average person.

Even without Inner Strength, it would be easy for Chu Qianli to push her down.

"It seems Miss Huaiyu also considers herself to be a porcelain doll that can’t be touched, lest she break upon contact."

Chu Qianli scoffed coldly.

This woman, addicted to playing the white lotus role.

"Prince, a woman with poor health is not qualified to be the mother of a nation. I heard the Empress Dowager saying that a woman who wants to be Empress must be healthy, otherwise the Crown Prince she bears will be sickly as well."

"What...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Did the Empress Dowager really say that?

Chu Huaiyu suddenly became flustered.

Wouldn’t this create a bad impression of her in front of the Empress Dowager and the Prince?

"Miss Huaiyu is too delicate, the children she bears will surely be frail too. How can they take on great responsibilities?"

"No, it’s not like that, Huaiyu only felt this way because I was pushed, my health... my health is fine."

This impression absolutely cannot linger in Prince Yexuan’s mind!

Chu Huaiyu loathed the wicked woman before her, how could she be so cruel as to hurt a kind soul?

"Prince, I just need to rest for a moment, then... then I’ll be fine. My health has no issues, truly."

Feng Yexuan said nothing, just the impatience in his eyes grew more apparent.

Chu Qianli’s expression darkened, her displeasure evident, "Since there’s nothing wrong with you, stop pretending here! Get up and leave at once! Just looking at you disgusts me!"

"Prince!" The tears in Chu Huaiyu’s eyes immediately fell.

She genuinely felt humiliated, not feigning her tears.

"Fifth sister... Fifth sister is so malicious, Prince... aren’t you going to do something about it?"

Chu Qianli was just a Concubine, but she was different!

She was the daughter of Long Qianyue, born into nobility, she was going to be a Princess!

How could she allow a Concubine to climb on top of her and bully her?

This was too much!
