Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 258: No Rest Until Death!

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: No Rest Until Death!

Feng Yexuan lifted his gaze, his face smudged with ink, remaining cold as ice.

"The moment Father put her into the Sky Prison, he should have known that I would definitely bring her out. Why be so enraged?"

A clear message is better than a veiled one, even if I said I didn’t care, Father would not believe me.

If I didn’t care, why would I take the matter of Heifeng Cliff upon myself just to send Duke back to his residence?

The Emperor certainly knew as well.

So, actually, he didn’t have much to be angry about.

But, he was angry!

When he had people take Chu Qianli down, this brat appeared calm, as if he didn’t care at all.

There was even a tiny bit of gloating, thinking maybe this brat had finally grown tired of that woman.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, the brat had taken Chu Qianli out of the Sky Prison!

"Now it is already past midnight, if Father hadn’t anticipated my actions long ago, why would he still be dressed so neatly?"

With one sentence, Feng Yexuan laid everything bare.

"So, what does Father need to be angry about now?"

It was something he knew all along!

The Emperor’s thoughts, exposed by his son’s indifferent tone, infuriated him even more.

"So, you’re determined to oppose your Father for this woman?"

Feng Yexuan’s expression remained serene, and his breath never faltered, "As Father’s son, how could I oppose Father for no reason?"

"Is that so?" The Emperor was still furious, a towering inferno of rage, but under the subtle prompt from Qing Gonggong, he managed to quell his anger.

Feng Yexuan continued, "Tonight the fifth brother fell ill, and Lili was merely saving him. This was personally attested by the fifth brother, with the Empress Dowager also present and hearing it firsthand."

"If Father doesn’t believe it, he may inquire with the Empress Dowager, Lili is innocent."

The Emperor still glared at him, lingering anger on his face.

"Whether she saved someone or harmed someone, it’s not important to me. What is important is your attitude!"

"You are the son I value the most. How could I allow you to lose your senses over a girl!"

"I have not," Feng Yexuan’s detached demeanor was not at all pleasing.

The Emperor’s anger was far from subsiding.

"I know you like this girl, but she is just the daughter of a singing girl, and she has no qualification to be the mother of a country!"

To this, Feng Yexuan did not respond.

Only his expression grew even colder.

The Emperor was on the brink of another outburst!

This was the son who was becoming increasingly presumptuous in his attitude towards him, taking little to no consideration of him.

He wasn’t like this before.

Even though he was habitually cold and distant in the past, he at least showed sufficient respect towards him.

Even if arrogant, at the very least, he would not disobey him!

But now, he really was becoming more and more disobedient!

All because of Chu Qianli!

"I will not allow you to continue being so presumptuous!"

He slammed the armrest of the Jade Chair, furious, "Starting tomorrow, I will issue an imperial decree, to select a consort for you!"

"Father!" A crack finally appeared on Feng Yexuan’s calm facade.

And because of this, the Emperor grew even angrier!

Indeed, only matters related to Chu Qianli could stir his emotions!

This disobedient son, can it be that no one in his heart compares to the daughter of a singing girl?

You need not say more, my decision is final! I will widely issue an imperial edict, to recruit virtuous ladies from all over to choose a consort for you!"

"The matter of my marriage is something I will solve myself, Father need not worry!"

Feng Yexuan’s stance was also resolute, "The border city is in turmoil, state affairs are tense, Longteng has a grudge against us, Beiming, and neighboring countries are standing by, each eying us like prey."

"The country has never been at peace, how could your son have the mind to care about personal affections?"

"Ha!" The Emperor sneered, fully unimpressed, "You speak so righteously, yet had I not seen with my own eyes how you went mad over a woman, I might have believed you!"

Feng Yexuan ignored this comment. However, he adamantly disagreed with the selection of the concubines.

"Your son has no desire to marry, I beg Father to revoke the order!"

"Do you still wish for Chu Qianli to become your Princess Consort? What makes her qualified?"

"Father Emperor..."

"You need not say more! Not only will I never agree to this, but neither will your imperial grandmother, nor all the citizens of Beiming Country!"

The Emperor flicked his sleeve sharply, noting sternly, "The selection of the concubines is imperative!"

The Emperor’s face was filled with rage, while the expression on Feng Yexuan’s face grew increasingly grim.

He said emotionlessly, "If Father Emperor insists on this, then your son can only request permission to return to the northern provinces and defend the border!"

"You!" With a loud smack, the Emperor was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

Pointing at Feng Yexuan, the Emperor’s fingertips trembled.

He was so angry he nearly spat blood!

"For a woman, do you... do you really... do you! Do you not want the throne anymore?"

To return to the northern provinces to defend the borders when he, the Emperor, was about to choose a Crown Prince!

He was willing to let go of everything!

This son of his had gone mad, he had truly gone mad!

"Good! Very good! The son I raised, very good, just fine..."

After repeating "very good" several times, the Emperor clutched his chest, finding it difficult to catch his breath.

Eunuch Qing became anxious, "Emperor, how are you? Calm your anger, your dragon body is the most important!"

Feng Yexuan looked up and indeed saw the Emperor’s face had turned the color of a pig’s liver, his breathing was obviously unsteady.

He strode quickly towards him, placing a palm on the Emperor’s back, his rich inner strength immediately flowing into the Emperor’s body.

The Emperor fell back into his chair and, with much difficulty and the aid of Feng Yexuan’s inner strength, managed to steady his erratic breath.

Eunuch Qing hurriedly went to summon the Imperial Physician.

Feng Yexuan looked at the Emperor, and the coldness in his eyes eventually dissipated somewhat.

"Father Emperor, your son has no intention to offend you, and if it were possible, your son would not wish to travel far to the border towns. But at this moment, your son truly has no intention to take a wife."

"What is so good about Chu Qianli? For her, are you willing to give up the empire?"

The Emperor’s breath was still erratic, and his voice was hoarse, "You well know that with her background, she could never become the Empress."

"Do you really intend to renounce the throne for her? I intended you for it, why must you be so willful?"

He wanted to hear words of regret from Feng Yexuan, wanted to see a remorseful look on his face.

But unfortunately, his son’s face only showed indifference and stubbornness.

The Emperor was truly on the verge of madness!

"You... you... Qing De, Qing De!"

Eunuch Qing had just sent orders for the Imperial Physician to come.

Hearing the Emperor’s call, he immediately rushed back, "Emperor, your old servant is here!"

"Issue the decree immediately, I want to inform all the nations, we’re selecting a concubine for King Yexuan!"

"Emperor!"

"Father Emperor!" Feng Yexuan’s face darkened with anger, "Your son absolutely disagrees!"

"Then prepare to collect Chu Qianli’s corpse!"

"Father Emperor!"

"My will is decided!"

This time, the Emperor had indeed lost all reason in his rage!

"If you do not obediently choose a concubine, I will send out the Imperial Royal Guards to hunt down Chu Qianli, relentlessly and without end!"
