Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 368 - 367: This Man’s Heart Is So Cruel!

Chapter 368: Chapter 367: This Man’s Heart Is So Cruel!

Outside, suddenly, the sound of horseshoes approached in bursts.

A troop of horsemen was rapidly closing in.

"Prince, Prince Yu and Prince He are here!" a guard reported.

Leng Ji was startled, his face changing, "Prince, this..."

Feng Yexuan’s indifferent gaze cut him off.

Leng Ji still felt extremely uneasy; now, the situation could not be clearer.

The incident had just occurred when someone immediately went to inform Princes He and Yu, meaning that this incident was premeditated.

"Fourth brother, I heard that Commandery Princess Pingyue has had an accident," Prince Yu said as he dismounted and hurriedly barged into the cabin.

Prince He arrived one step later.

Seeing Chu Qianli kneeling on the ground, providing first aid to Long Ziyue alongside Liujin, his eyes darkened slightly.

"What does this mean? Who did this?" Prince He’s voice was very cold.

"It was... it was Chu Qianli..." Danqing, who had just regained consciousness, saw the two princes as if they were saviors.

She pushed away Leng Ji and rushed in front of Prince He, kneeling down, "Your Highness, both Your Highnesses, I beg you, save our Commandery Princess!"

Prince Yu could not see Long Ziyue’s condition clearly, but the pool of blood on the ground spoke volumes about the situation.

"Someone has informed the Emperor that Chu Qianli was plotting against Commandery Princess Pingyue. Fourth brother, we must now bring Chu Qianli back with us, incarcerate her in the Sky Prison, and wait for the Emperor’s punishment!"

Plotting against Commandery Princess Pingyue was a heinous crime that could instantly plunge the two nations into hostility—it could not be taken lightly!

Chu Qianli glanced at Liujin.

Liujin wore a troubled expression; he might not be able to save Commandery Princess Pingyue’s life.

But he understood what Chu Qianli meant; since they had alarmed the Emperor and both princes, not taking her back now would make it difficult for the princes to explain to the Emperor.

However, Commandery Princess Pingyue must be cared for by Feng Yexuan personally; otherwise, falling into the hands of the two princes, she wouldn’t trust anyone.

In the end, Liujin nodded.

Chu Qianli put away her silver needles and handed him a package of medicine, then stood up.

"Fine, I’ll go back with you."

"Miss Chu!" Leng Ji panicked.

"Ali!" Fu Long was also alarmed.

Plotting against Commandery Princess Pingyue was a capital offense; it could even implicate the entire Duke Residence.

If it were someone else hurt, the Emperor might deal with it discreetly for some reasons.

But with Commandery Princess Pingyue’s status, that was impossible.

If Chu Qianli went back with them, falling into the Emperor’s hands, her fate was uncertain.

No matter how much the Emperor valued talent, he wouldn’t jeopardize the hard-won diplomacy between the two nations for the sake of one woman.

Leng Ji immediately turned to Feng Yexuan, "Prince, this matter has not yet been investigated, and Miss Chu, she..."

"Fine, Chu Qianli will go back with you; I shall take Commandery Princess Pingyue back to the Prince Residence for treatment," Feng Yexuan declared after exchanging a glance with Liujin.

Liujin immediately lifted Long Ziyue in his arms.

"Hold on!" Prince Yu stepped forward with a stern voice, "The Emperor has ordered that Commandery Princess Pingyue be returned to the palace, and even for treatment, the Imperial Physician is available there."

"I have said it, I will take her back to the Prince Residence, and nobody shall interfere!"

Feng Yexuan rarely stood so firm in front of the two, but this time, he was uncompromising.

"Prince Yexuan, you can’t..." Danqing had no confidence in him at this moment.

His heart obviously took Chu Qianli’s side; what difference did it make to have the princess in his hands versus in Chu Qianli’s?

Though she still didn’t understand why Chu Qianli would want to kill the princess, the fact that she was the assailant was witnessed by all.

But this time, Feng Yexuan gave no room for discussion to anyone.

With a sweep of his long sleeve, a powerful gust from his palm swept all the people before him aside.

Prince Yuxuan couldn’t help but take several steps back.

Prince He’s eyes darkened as he voluntarily stepped aside.

Just like that, Feng Yexuan allowed Liujin to carry Long Ziyue, leading the entourage from Xuan Prince Residence away.

Leaving Chu Qianli behind, alone in this place.

How familiar was this scene?

"Ali..." Fu Long was torn.

He was worried about Ali, but he also wanted to check on Princess Pingyue.

He had seen with his own eyes the complexion of Princess Pingyue just before; it seemed like there was no chance to save her anymore.

"I didn’t hurt anyone, and since I’m innocent, I have nothing to fear. Don’t worry about me."

Chu Qianli approached Prince Yuxuan.

Prince He’s face darkened, "Come with me!"

"I’ll go back with Prince Yuxuan," she said with a slight smile, looking at Prince Yuxuan, "Please."

After glancing at Feng Qihe, a hint of amusement flitted across Prince Yuxuan’s eyes before he responded with a light smile, "Miss Chu, then... pardon me!"

"Guards, take her away!"

"Second brother!" Feng Qihe took a step forward but could only watch as Prince Yuxuan’s men shackled Chu Qianli!

The iron chains of the handcuffs weighed over a dozen taels, something ordinary young ladies couldn’t bear!

Chu Qianli hadn’t expected that being locked in iron chains would be so uncomfortable.

Especially since Prince Yuxuan’s men were escorting her without allowing her a moment’s rest.

Just exiting the little wooden hut, her chains were pulled by someone several times, almost causing Chu Qianli to fall to the ground.

Prince Yuxuan glanced at her before saying to Feng Qihe with a smile, "Loyal Brother, since things have come to this, I will take the criminal Chu Qianli before our father the Emperor first!"

He leaped onto his horse and personally took the chain that bound Chu Qianli, spurring the horse on with a "Go!"

The horse immediately broke into a wild gallop.

This move was beyond everyone’s expectations.

It was too cruel for any young lady!

Chu Qianli hadn’t expected it either.

Yanked by him, she immediately fell to the ground, but, fortunately, she managed to leap up quickly.

But she could only chase after the horse, almost falling again.

For now, she had the strength to follow the horse for a distance.

When her energy was exhausted later, she wouldn’t be able to keep up at all.

She would be dragged along the road by Prince Yuxuan.

"Ali!" Fu Long, no longer heeding anything else, chased after them, "Prince Yuxuan, before things are cleared up, Ali is not a criminal, and you can’t treat her this way!"

"A suspect is half a criminal, why shouldn’t I?" Prince Yuxuan showed no sign of stopping.

Fu Long still followed behind.

Seeing Chu Qianli’s pale face while using her qinggong, he grew even more anxious, "Ali, are you injured internally?"

Chu Qianli couldn’t speak.

She had been struck by a man in black the previous night and was already injured.

Now, using qinggong required her inner strength, and with additional injury stacking up, she couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Prince Yuxuan was so heartless!

Looking at someone who appeared gentle and courteous, she hadn’t thought that deep down, he was so evil.

"Uh..." Distracted, Chu Qianli opened her mouth and a mouthful of fresh blood surged out.

"Ali!" Fu Long subconsciously reached for his waist, almost ready to draw his sword!

"Fu Long!" Chu Qianli called out hoarsely while chasing Prince Yuxuan’s horse, "Go back. Take care of Ziyue for me, and make sure Liujin saves her! Otherwise, no one will clear my name!"
