Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Tree Wishes to Stay Still, but the Wind Will Not Cease

Several princesses and princess-consorts stared at Chu Qianli with wide eyes and open mouths.

Even Princess-consort Yexuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Although everyone wanted to see her gulp down that filthy thing, now that she was about to drink it, they found themselves at a loss for a reaction.

It somehow felt... too easy, didn’t it?

So easy that it was eerie!

"Little Lili, don’t..." Feng Mingzhu tried to break free from Princess-consort Yexuan’s grasp.

But Chu Qianli calmly smiled, "Princess-consort Yexuan, as I toast to you, I must drink. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful; however..."

She pushed back slightly.

That smile somehow made everyone’s heart skip a beat.

"I’m just a guest. If the host hasn’t even drunk yet and I’m already drinking, it seems... unreasonable."

"Ha!" Princess-consort Yexuan laughed derisively, her unexplained anxiety disappearing in an instant.

What was she thinking, being so proactive?

Is it all just an act?

"Do you really think you can compel me to act as you do?"

Doesn’t she know the maids here might not be trained in martial arts, but they are all strong and powerful?

"Come..." Before she could finish her command, she saw Chu Qianli suddenly turn and walk away.

"What are you trying to do?"

The wretched girl took advantage of everyone’s distraction and suddenly hastened her steps towards the front.

The place she’s heading to...

"Not good! Seize her for me! Quick!"

The two maids finally snapped into action.

As they tried to give chase, Feng Mingzhu suddenly grabbed the one who stepped forward first.

"What’s the rush?"

"Mingzhu, what are you doing?" Princess-consort Yexuan glared at her, "Yanyan, you go chase her!"

Pushing away from Feng Mingzhu, she turned to give chase herself.

Feng Mingzhu then gripped the other maid named Yanyan as well.

"I am a princess, dare you push me and see!"

How could the two maids dare? If they accidentally injured the Ninth Princess, they wouldn’t be able to save their own heads!

Princess-consort Yexuan had no choice but to chase on her own.

But no matter how large the banquet hall was, how far could they be from the princes over there?

Since Chu Qianli left first, Princess-consort Yexuan, no matter how hard she tried, couldn’t catch up at all.

"Prince!" Chu Qianli had already reached Feng Xianyu’s side.

The cup in her hand, supposedly filled with wine, thankfully wasn’t too full, otherwise it might have spilled over her hand on the way here.

By the time she reached Prince Yexuan, most of the liquid was still in the cup.

"Why aren’t you sitting over there, what brings you here?" Prince Yexuan frowned slightly.

Turning back, he saw that both Feng Yexuan and Feng Qihe were still by the Emperor’s side, apparently engaged in a conversation with him.

However, Prince Yexuan knew that with Chu Qianli’s arrival, their attention would soon turn this way.

Therefore, he wasn’t annoyed but instead looked at the cup in Chu Qianli’s hand with a smile that was open to interpretation.

"Are you offering a toast to me?"

Yet, what’s that slight foul smell lingering in the air?

Prince Yexuan frowned.

Chu Qianli smiled, "This is..."

"Chu Qianli, you dare to disturb the Prince! Come back with me right now!" Princess-consort Yexuan arrived breathlessly.

Her headdress, heavy with adornments, was askew.

Prince Yexuan instantly looked displeased.

It was very impolite for his consort to arrive at his birthday banquet with anxious steps, disheveled headdress, and no decorum at all!

Was this to make him lose face in front of all the guests?

"In such a hurry, what kind of demeanor is that?" he rebuked with a heavy voice.

"It is... my fault, I... I just came to..."

"Princess wants to offer me a toast, but I still feel, as a guest, I shouldn’t overshadow the host."

Chu Qianli’s smile was composed, she was unhurried, and she lifted the cup of wine to Yexuan’s face.

"Tonight is Prince Yexuan’s birthday banquet; the first cup of wine meticulously prepared by Princess should be drunk by Prince Yexuan himself."

"Chu Qianli, you dare!" Princess was terrified, she immediately lunged over, attempting to snatch back her cup of wine.

However, Chu Qianli, as if startled, trembled her hand when she lunged.

The liquid from the cup, unexpectedly, all fell onto Prince Yexuan’s clothes.

A... a smell of urine...

The surrounding crowd, one by one, gaped, staring at Prince Yexuan’s wine-soaked garment, in disbelief.

This wine... what kind of wine is this? It clearly... clearly...

But how could it be? The drink prepared by Princess Yexuan for the guests, how could it possibly... be such a filthy thing?

Prince Yexuan looked at his wet clothes, his fingertips slowly trembling.

Yes, he was enraged.

"My Prince, My Prince..." Princess Yexuan was so panicked that her heart trembled, and at this moment, she had no thought for Chu Qianli.

She immediately flung herself at Prince Yexuan’s side, pulling out her handkerchief, and hurriedly wiping him down.

Even knowing it was urine, even though she had never touched such filthy substance in her entire life, at that instant, she could only wipe.

She could do nothing but wipe incessantly.

She was so flustered that she nearly forgot how to breathe.

"My Prince..."

"Is this the drink you prepared for her?" Prince Yexuan looked calm on the surface.

At least, he wasn’t raging nor excited.

He even slowly calmed down.

Only he knew the fist hidden in his sleeve was now clenched as hard as steel.

"I... I..."

"I’m sorry, My Prince, I did not know Princess Yexuan would lunge over, that was why I accidentally spilled the drink."

Chu Qianli looked innocent: "What a waste of Princess Yexuan’s kind intentions!"

Feng Xianyu closed his eyes tightly, then upon opening them, when he looked at Chu Qianli, his eyes no longer held any trace of anger.

He even smiled: "Good, very good, quite worthy of the Fourth Imperial Brother’s woman, quite a daring spirit."

Chu Qianli’s smile gradually faded, merely looking at him impassively.

"A tree desires calmness, yet the wind will not cease; a cornered dog will jump over a wall, My Prince, please forgive me!"

She turned and left.

Having offended Prince Yexuan, yet still so composed.

Even the guests who had smelled the unpleasant odor and knew what had happened could not help but gain a new respect for her.

Her actions were an extreme provocation, yet her words just now somehow evoked a sense of boundless melancholy.

A cornered dog will leap over a wall; if not truly desperate, who would risk such an offense against Prince Yexuan?

To know, if left unprotected, such a powerless and insignificant woman, for Prince Yexuan to kill her, would be no different from crushing an ant.

Especially when Chu Qianli turned around that moment, that expression, that look in her eyes, as indifferent as the breeze.

It gave off a sense of desolation, as if death meant nothing to her.

Nobody felt her actions were excessive; the men who saw it, instead, felt an inexplicable pity in their hearts.

Looking at Princess Yexuan again... the originally beautiful and charming Princess, in an instant, became hideously vile and terrifying!

Never have people seen such a shameless, evil woman in the Imperial Family!

It was utterly disgusting!

Princess Yexuan was still wiping down Feng Xianyu’s clothes, completely panicked.

Feng Xianyu suddenly pushed her hand away, and said expressionlessly, "Follow me back to change clothes."
