Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 274 - 273: It’s All Designed by You!

Chapter 274: Chapter 273: It’s All Designed by You!

Feng Yexuan had not failed to hear Consort Jin’s cries for help.

But he at least knew that Chu Qianli still had her rationality intact.

Moreover, he was aware that taking someone’s life was not the best way to seek revenge, something she was clearly conscious of herself.

To let her live a fate worse than death was the most terrifying punishment.

That’s why he believed she would spare Consort Jin’s life.

And so, he truly walked away.

He promised her he would not interfere, and he intended, at the very least, to keep that promise.

The guards also stayed well outside the courtyard; if the Prince didn’t intrude, they didn’t dare act recklessly either.

They did not know what exactly Miss Chu was doing to Consort Jin to elicit such dismal screams?

In fact, Chu Qianli had done nothing; she was merely toying with a small object in her hand.

Consort Jin couldn’t make out what it was, but it seemed to resemble a worm?

"Chu Qianli, what exactly do you intend to do?"

"What more do I need to do? Isn’t your doom already wretched enough?"

Without Feng Yexuan around, the indifference in Chu Qianli’s eyes gradually restored to a bone-chilling coldness.

Now, facing Consort Jin, she laughed softly once again.

That kind of smile!

Upon seeing it, Consort Jin panicked and felt numb all over.

"Don’t come any closer! You wouldn’t dare! If you hurt me, Xuanxuan will not let you off, after all, I am Xuanxuan’s motherly consort!"

Reminded of this, Consort Jin still tried to calm herself.

Right, at least she was still Prince Xuan’s motherly consort.

She was merely the daughter of a singer, a mere minor concubine!

The incident tonight happened only because Xuanxuan unexpectedly found out he had lost a child and, heartbroken, indulged her.

Once Xuanxuan calmed down tomorrow, he would realize how dreadful this woman was!

"Everything tonight was your doing, wasn’t it?"

She knew it. Chu Qianli, that vile person, was always cautious. How could she attempt to kill her with a knife, knowing well that her acupoints were sealed and she could not succeed?

Indeed, it was all scheming and plotting!

It was all designed by that vile person!

"Isn’t it true that it was your own people who went to confess, leading Prince Xuan to discover the truth?"

Words are but wind, a fact that Chu Qianli had long understood, which is why even if she spoke, Feng Yexuan might not believe her.

But if he were to discover the answer himself, that would be a different matter entirely.

"You’re ruthless! Utterly ruthless!"

Consort Jin pointed at her, powerless yet still gritting her teeth with all her might.

"Without uttering a single word, you turned defeat into victory! Wretch! You cruel and venomous wretch!"

"Am I venomous?" Chu Qianli only looked at her coldly, emotionless, "I merely let him discover the truth on his own. How am I venomous?"

"But you, Consort Jin, you do not even spare your own son’s child. When it comes to being ruthless, who in the world could be more so than you?"

"That lowly spawn had no right to be Xuanxuan’s child! I was merely removing obstacles for him!"

Even now, Consort Jin saw nothing wrong with what she had done!

"Everything I do is for the sake of Xuanxuan’s future!"

"Is that so?" Sadly, Chu Qianli wouldn’t believe a word she said.

Her eyes narrowed, her voice icy, "You are only thinking of yourself! You are afraid that once my child is born, owing to my son’s status, I will regain Prince Xuan’s favor, threatening your lowly position!"

Consort Jin was taken aback; for a moment, she could not utter a word in contradiction.

"How about that? Did I hit the mark? Such a loving motherly image, yet in reality, the most wickedly vile mother!"

Consort Jin bit her teeth, looking at her, her chest rising and falling continuously.

Now that her thoughts had been seen through, Consort Jin no longer pretended.

"You’re still aware that I am Prince Xuan’s mother, so you should know that no matter how unfilial he is, he would not commit matricide for your sake!"

In this, Consort Jin was still confident.

"He won’t let you kill me! If you dare to touch me, Xuanxuan will surely kill you!"

"When did I ever say I wanted to kill you?" Isn’t the current situation worse than death, enough to make this woman fearful?

"I knew it, you definitely don’t have the guts!" Consort Jin felt triumphant again.

But then she heard Chu Qianli sneer, "Do you not yet know that Prince Yexuan has requested an imperial edict to strip you of your empress title and to make a public announcement to disown you from any relations with him and the Fourteenth Prince?"

"What are you talking about?" Consort Jin’s face changed drastically!

"Impossible! Impossible! Xuanxuan would never treat me like this! Impossible!"

"The memorial was written and stamped in my presence, and I witnessed him send it off."

She might not believe it, but the fact remained a fact.

Consort Jin stared at her, her eyes almost bulging out.

"Chu Qianli, for harming me like this, you will not have a good end!"

"Even if Xuanxuan likes you now, so what? You’re just the daughter of a singing girl, you’re not qualified to be the Empress!"

"The Emperor is currently selecting concubines for Xuanxuan, he will soon have a new favorite, you won’t be pleased for long! You won’t, hah, hahaha..."

However, Consort Jin’s laughter ceased abruptly the moment she saw the insect in her hand again.

"What are you going to do? What are you going to do to me?"

"How long I can take pleasure in this seems to have little to do with you now, Your Highness, since you’re about to become blind!"

"What are you going to do?" Consort Jin watched her step towards her, trembling all over in fright.

Although she didn’t know what the insect in her hand was, she felt an immense unease.

She seemed to have a guess...

"There’s a Poisonous Insect Technique passed down by the Youyi Clan that allows a Poisonous Insect to burrow into one’s body and gradually devour the person’s flesh from the inside."

"Until, eventually, the person is completely consumed."

Suddenly, she flicked her hand!

Consort Jin didn’t have time to see where the insect from her hand had gone.

It seemed... as if it had been thrown onto her body.

Afterwards, she felt a sharp pain in her body, as if she had been bitten.

"Ahh! Ahh..."

Consort Jin screamed in horror, her face ashen, the screams frantic: "Ahh! Take it off, take it off... Ahh! Ahh! Don’t bite me, don’t... don’t bite me, don’t... Ahh! Ahh..."

Chu Qianli was still hearing Consort Jin’s howling as she walked out.

She closed the door behind her and looked down at the "insect" in her hand.

Poisonous Insect Technique? As someone from the twenty-first century, how could she possibly know?

This wasn’t any kind of insect, but a toy fake bought from Taobao.

Only, when she "threw the insect" a moment ago, she had flicked a silver needle.

It sealed an acupuncture point, the force wasn’t great, but as it grazed Consort Jin’s neck, it felt just as if she had been bitten by an insect.

That’s what made Consort Jin believe the Poisonous Insect had really entered her body.

She had just stepped out the gate when, unexpectedly, she met Feng Jinrui coming face-to-face.

Feng Jinrui was also somewhat stunned, not expecting to encounter her at this time.

"Fourth Prince..."

Before she could say anything more, from a distant side room, came the sound of Consort Jin’s dreadful screams.

Feng Jinrui’s heart tightened fiercely, "What... what have you done to her?"
