Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 315 - 314: Bring down a bolt of lightning to strike her dead

Chapter 315: Chapter 314: Bring down a bolt of lightning to strike her dead

Chu Qianli was stunned.

For two seconds, she couldn’t react.

"He... indeed intends to select a concubine..."

Yes, that was exactly what was happening.

It’s just that too much had happened recently, and this matter had been forgotten.

"Uncle, what you mean is..."

"She is a distinguished guest of Longteng, and it’s not easy to see her on any ordinary day unless..."

Long Feifan seemed to have an even bigger headache this time.

However, since the conversation had reached this point, he had to finish it.

He could only toughen up and say, "Father’s intention is, he hopes that you... will also participate in the selection of Princess Yexuan."

This statement, like a bolt of lightning, scorched Chu Qianli inside and out.

It might as well have struck her dead.

"Uncle, I... just today, in the grand hall, asked the Emperor for a letter of dissolution from my engagement."

Then, she strutted out front, proudly like a peacock, abandoning that man.

And now she was supposed to participate in the concubine selection exclusively held for him?

Could this just kill her outright?

Was this something a human could do?

Long Feifan touched his nose, aware that what he was proposing was indeed very difficult.

But... it was an excellent opportunity.

"Little Lili, that, your uncle knows that going back on one’s word is... somewhat shameful."

"It’s good that you understand!" Chu Qianli glared at him.

He didn’t know that Feng Yexuan had just been there that night, and they had a huge fight.

She had made it clear, she didn’t want him anymore.

"But Little Lili, this is also an extraordinarily good opportunity."

Long Feifan could only smile cautiously, cajoling gently, "Little Lili, although it’s shameful, for the sake of Longteng... for the sake of your mother, it’s a sacrifice you have to make... it’s a necessary decision."

Chu Qianli said nothing.

Although angry, she was a rational person.

If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, her uncle wouldn’t have made such a difficult request of her.

But this time... it really was too much to ask.

That damned man seeing her participate in the selection... Sigh, just when she had finally severed ties, was this some kind of joke from the heavens?

"All I need is to establish contact with her, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you just need to participate in the selection, find a chance to contact her, then figure out a way to persuade her to connect you with Prince Dingqin, that would be fine."

Long Feifan now, where dared to say half a word of refusal?

As long as she agreed to participate in the selection, whatever she said was right.

"You don’t want to be Princess Yexuan, so just deliberately lose in the selection, that would do, wouldn’t it, Little Lili? Am I right?"

"Even if I win, I can’t be Princess Yexuan." Chu Qianli said irritably.

Having just hurt him so deeply, so thoroughly that even his self-respect was gone, now if she offered herself up, wouldn’t she be abused to death?

Feng Yexuan, that proud man, would surely find ways to humiliate her.

Choose her? That’s impossible, even if she won all the competitions, he wouldn’t want her.

Forget it, for the sake of Longteng, for the sake of Long Xiyue, she would endure being ridiculed and jeered at.

But...

"Is there really no other way to meet Long Ziyue?"

...

When Feng Yexuan awoke, he was already in the bed of the Prince Residence.

The Empress Dowager was sitting by the bed, her face a mix of serenity and exhaustion.

It was apparent that she hadn’t had a good rest the night before.

"Great Ancestral Mother..." he remembered.

The Empress Dowager was startled and immediately pressed gently on his arm, "Xuanxuan, you have been severely wounded and not yet recovered. Do not move about carelessly."

Behind the Empress Dowager stood a young woman, Yu Linglong.

At the moment, she looked at Feng Yexuan, cautiously saying, "Yexuan, you really have been badly injured this time. No matter what happens, you should focus on healing your wounds first."

Feng Yexuan did not speak, his face as calm as water.

Yu Linglong dared not speak further.

Having offended him before, she did not even dare to speak loudly in his presence now.

However, she saw hope again.

At the great hall, Chu Qianli demanded a breakup letter on the spot.

The news had spread throughout every corner of the Imperial City, known to everyone.

This was certainly the greatest stain on Prince Yexuan’s life.

It was as if he had been publicly abandoned by that woman, Chu Qianli.

In any case, all the young women in the entire Imperial City were now excited beyond measure.

Everyone was awaiting the next opportunity.

Yu Linglong included.

"Empress Grandmother, you are not well. You need not stay here with your grandson. I’m already fine," Feng Yexuan said indifferently, "Leng Ji."

"I am here," Leng Ji and Liujin had also been in the bedroom, having kept vigil the entire night.

Liujin had just gone to fetch some medicine and would return shortly.

Feng Yexuan was about to say something when the Empress Dowager spoke first, "Xuanxuan, I will leave soon and not trouble you."

"I wouldn’t dare," he said, though at the moment, he indeed did not want to speak much with her. He just wanted to rest.

The Empress Dowager could tell that he was reluctant to speak.

But there were some things she had come to say, to advise.

"Xuanxuan, stop thinking about that woman."

"Empress Grandmother, I wish to rest."

"I know, I know. I will just say a few words," the Empress Dowager immediately soothed him, "Your father the Emperor, has long before issued a decree and sent documents to other nations, to proclaim a selection of a new bride for you before all under heaven."

Feng Yexuan closed his eyes, clearly resistant to this topic.

Hastily, the Empress Dowager added, "Xuanxuan, I know you are not in a good mood, but this time, the Emperor has other intentions, promising that any young lady, regardless of her origin, may participate in the selection."

"And, the Emperor has said that the theme of the contest for the selection is for you to decide."

"Xuanxuan, your father the Emperor really wants to find a maiden you would like. He is listening to you; he has indeed made a great concession for you."

The Empress Dowager held his hand, patting it gently.

"Xuanxuan, what kind of competition you would like, what sort of lady you want, you think about it. We will listen to you. As long as you recover, is that not good?"

Leng Ji, standing aside, also quietly observed the Prince’s countenance.

This time, whether it was the Emperor or the Empress Dowager, they indeed really doted on the Prince.

One must realize that matters of marriage for princes were always dictated by the Emperor. When would it be their turn to set questions for selecting a Princess?

With anyone else, the Emperor would not have been so amenable.

The Empress Dowager continued advising, "Xuanxuan, you must recover quickly, cheer up. You are our Imperial Family’s most majestic and incredible Prince Yexuan. You must not... let others look down on you."

With these words, the Empress Dowager’s meaning was very clear.

His sinking spirits would only lead others to look down on him.

And as for who would dare look down on Prince Yexuan, did that need to be said?

That woman who abandoned him to death!

Feng Yexuan took a deep breath, and finally, opened his eyes to look at her, "Empress Grandmother need not worry, your grandson is doing well."

"Leng Ji," he called.

"There’s no need for Leng Ji to send me. I will go back on my own."

As long as he could muster up his spirits, she would be at ease.

After leaving with Yu Linglong, Leng Ji escorted them out and then returned to the bedroom.

Just as he was about to speak, from outside came the deep voice of Liujin, "Prince, General Qin has arrived."
