Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 277 - 276: This is his warning

Chapter 277: Chapter 276: This is his warning

The sound of sharp objects slicing through the air was particularly terrifying under the cover of night.

Chu Qianli rolled violently on the bed and in an instant, rolled off the bed.

Thud, thud, thud—three striking noises. The spot where she had been sleeping was now embedded with three hidden weapons.

With one push, she flung open the doors and windows and leapt out in a flash.

With a flick of her wrist, the silver needles in her hand shot towards the rooftop.

The shadowy figure atop the roof flipped over, easily evading the attack.

From within its embrace, hidden weapons were launched once more at Chu Qianli.

The speed of the hidden weapons was incredibly fast; Chu Qianli had only just had her acupoints released and, coupled with her weakened state, her inner strength had not yet fully recovered.

Trying to dodge was already too late.

She struggled to sidestep, only able to minimize the damage as best she could.

The three hidden weapons were about to embed in her shoulder.

With no escape, she clenched her teeth and, while also clutching silver needles in her hand, shot them towards the figure in black.

A fight to the death!

However, the anticipated pain did not befall her.

Chu Qianli felt a strong inner strength, like a sudden violent storm, enveloping her and sweeping her up.

With a whoosh, the three hidden weapons were repelled by that force.

She fell into the warm embrace of Feng Yexuan.

The figure in black, after being hit by three silver needles and struck by its own thrown weapons, rolled off the roof and thudded to the ground.

Feng Yexuan and Chu Qianli immediately rushed over.

However, as they approached, the figure in black bit down hard on its own teeth.

"No good, he’s poisoned himself to commit suicide!" Chu Qianli rushed over, bending down to check on him.

But at the moment she bent over, Feng Yexuan’s expression changed. He grabbed her slender waist, leaped up, and rapidly retreated.

Hisss— an eerie sound filled the air.

From the body of the figure in black, white smoke suddenly emerged.

With a wave of his sleeve, Feng Yexuan deflected the cloud of white smoke along with the figure, slamming it far away.

Chu Qianli jumped in shock, only then realizing that the white smoke was the corrosive effect of the potent poison on the corpse of the figure in black.

Glancing at the corpse, Chu Qianli’s scalp tingled.

Her heart felt uneasy, and her stomach began to churn.

A mutual destruction!

"Prince!" Leng Ji and a group of guards finally arrived.

Seeing the corpse of the figure in black, Leng Ji immediately felt uneasy, "Prince, this is... a top-tier Royal Guard."

Royal Guard!

Chu Qianli’s hands grew colder.

This was her first encounter with the terrifying Royal Guard.

It turns out, they truly could be driven to such madness!

Feng Yexuan’s grip tightened, and his eyes grew even colder.

The Emperor was warning him!

The events of the night at the Prince Residence had already reached the Emperor’s ears.

Naturally, the Emperor wouldn’t care about Consort Jin. What the Emperor cared about was his attitude towards Chu Qianli!

That old fox!

"Dispose of it," he commanded, still holding Chu Qianli, then turned to leave.

It wasn’t until they followed him back to Wuzhou Garden that Chu Qianli’s heart gradually began to calm down.

"No need to panic, I will protect you," he reassured.

Feng Yexuan clasped her hand, noticing how ice-cold it was.

"Give me some time; I’ll handle this matter," he said.

Chu Qianli did not realize when he had laid her down on the bed, and now he lay behind her, gently pulling her into his arms.

She instinctively wanted to struggle.

But the man behind her held her even tighter.

"I am tired, let’s rest early,"

Chu Qianli originally wanted to say something more, but then she realized that she also seemed tired.

Whether she was willing to admit it or not, she had to acknowledge that after the assassination attempt just now, sleeping in Prince Yexuan’s arms did feel... somewhat safe.

The damned man... despite all his flaws, his strength was undeniable!

She soon relaxed and fell asleep.

However, Feng Yexuan was just resting with his eyes closed and waited until her breathing became even before he gently left her side.

Feng Jinrui and Leng Ji were both waiting in the courtyard.

Since the Emperor had deployed the Royal Guards to assassinate her, the Prince wouldn’t possibly do nothing tonight.

"Loyal Brother..."

"Stay here tonight, guard her. I will make a trip to the palace,"

Leng Ji had already prepared a horse for him, and not to wake up Miss Chu, the horse was outside the courtyard gate.

"Loyal Brother, about Father..."

"I will handle it," Feng Yexuan said as he walked out of the courtyard and leapt onto the horse.

"Father will not compromise easily, he..."

The look cast by Feng Yexuan made Feng Jinrui swallow his words subconsciously.

Loyal Brother always inspired a sense of security in him.

If Loyal Brother said he would solve the problem, then it probably could be solved, right?

"Then I...I will go and guard the Loyal Sister-in-law," In his heart, Chu Qianli was never just a concubine.

He had personally witnessed how the Loyal Sister-in-law had saved Loyal Brother back then.

The Loyal Sister-in-law was indeed the Loyal Sister-in-law, no other woman would do for him.

Feng Yexuan pulled the reins and spurred his horse onward.

...

Chu Qianli knew very quickly that Feng Yexuan hadn’t been by her side the previous night.

She woke up several times in the middle of the night.

But she didn’t inquire.

Just before dawn, Feng Yexuan finally returned.

In a daze, Chu Qianli merely felt someone holding her hand, then, a powerful Inner Strength seemed to transfer from his palm into her body.

Her body felt hot, scorching hot, making her entirely uncomfortable as if she were being burnt by a blazing fire.

Groggy, waking then sleeping again, by the time she fully awoke, it was already long past dawn the next day.

She didn’t know what agreement Feng Yexuan and the Emperor had reached, but upon waking today, everything seemed to have returned to calm.

Feng Yexuan even willingly allowed her to visit her grandfather at the Duke Residence.

Prince Yexuan was still the same; as domineering and proud as ever.

When leaving, he said, "I only agreed to let you visit your family. You want to leave me, that’s absolutely impossible."

"I will come to pick you up!"

Afterward, he left hastily, his destination unknown.

Before leaving, Leng Ji spoke ambiguously, "The Prince...the Prince really cherishes Miss very much, please have a good relationship with the Prince in the future."

Following that, Leng Ji also left.

What exactly had he promised the Emperor that made him stop sending Royal Guards to kill her?

If they hadn’t reached some agreement, Feng Yexuan wouldn’t have felt secure letting her stay alone at the Duke Residence.

After all, the Duke Residence’s defenses were far inferior to the Prince Residence’s.

"Look, isn’t that our fifth young lady? The one who became a concubine,"

Chu Feixue, hearing she had come back alone, immediately came to provoke her again.

This time, seeing no one around, she charged forward with hostility flashing across her face and aimed a palm strike at Chu Qianli.

"Last time you seduced Han Zhan, the two of you ganged up on me. Now that Han Zhan is not here, let’s see how you can fight me!"

Chu Qianli casually raised her hand and lightly pushed.

She only meant to push her away, but to her surprise, this light push sent Chu Feixue flying, causing her to crash heavily to the ground.

Chu Qianli stared at her hand in utter astonishment.

When did her Inner Strength become so powerful?
