Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 390 - 389: Beat Her to Death with Random Sticks

Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Beat Her to Death with Random Sticks

The Empress Dowager has always been compassionate,

And dignified as well.

If it weren’t for a complete emotional breakdown, the Empress Dowager wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Now, she couldn’t even care about her image.

Glaring at Chu Qianli, she cried and cursed, "What does my Imperial Family owe you? Because of you, Consort Jin was sent to the Cold Palace, now mad and disheveled, looking neither human nor ghost!"

A fine and virtuous consort, completely ruined by her!

"Linglong and Xuanxuan, originally fine, also suffered because of you. Xuanxuan was so merciless to Linglong, forcing her to wash her face with tears every day in utter heartbreak!"

"Xuanxuan, a fine young man, had a bright future ahead and was of one heart with his Imperial Father, the best candidate for the Crown Prince!"

"Yet, because of you, he not only defied me but also his Imperial Father. He even nearly lost his life because of you, time and again!"

The Empress Dowager always seemed indifferent to fame and gain, without desires or demands.

But in fact, much resentment and dissatisfaction had always been bottled up inside her.

Who didn’t know that Prince Yexuan was the son most favored by the Emperor? He could have easily ascended to the position of Crown Prince.

It was all because of this woman, this woman who should have died long ago!

Now in the Emperor’s heart, there is much hesitation. King He and the Empress are closing in, and the Emperor’s heart is almost swayed towards those two.

The Empress Dowager, pointing at Chu Qianli, shook as she sobbed, "It’s all you! All you! You woman! Why do you still live in this world? Why don’t you die!"

Jin Momo quickly supported her, advising, "Empress Dowager, don’t get too worked up, take care of your health!"

Jin Momo also glanced at Chu Qianli and couldn’t help but sigh lightly, "You’ve utterly ruined Prince Xuan; why do you still cling to the Prince?"

Leng Ji was panicking inside,

Based on Chu Qianli’s past temperament, facing such grievances, she would likely just leave!

She has always been proud and lofty, never willing to explain anything.

Leng Ji whispered, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, it’s not the Prince’s... it’s not Miss Chu’s fault, it’s all because of Chu Huai..."

"And you!"

The Empress Dowager pointed at Leng Ji, having started cursing, she seemed unable to stop.

She even forgot that the Emperor was present.

The Empress Dowager furiously scolded, "What right do you have to stay by Xuanxuan’s side? Where do you surpass Qing Ming? Why did Xuanxuan dismiss Qing Ming and promote you out of turn, letting you replace Qing Ming?"

"It’s because you’re Chu Qianli’s lackey. Xuanxuan, under Chu Qianli’s spell, reused you!"

Leng Ji opened his mouth but was suddenly at a loss for words.

He couldn’t compare to Qing Ming, but... but he...

"You get out! I don’t want to see you! Get out! From now on, you’re not to follow Xuanxuan, following him can only bring him harm!"

Leng Ji was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

His gaze unintentionally fell on Chu Qianli and saw her nod calmly.

"I will take my leave!" Leng Ji quickly left, better than staying and angering the Empress Dowager further.

However, the fact that Chu Qianli could remain so calm was beyond Leng Ji’s expectation.

He truly feared she would abandon the Prince and just walk away.

After Leng Ji had left, Chu Qianli then looked at the Empress Dowager and spoke softly, "I know it’s hard for the Empress Dowager, but right now, the Prince cannot wake up. Whatever punishment you see fit for me, let’s wait until the Prince awakes, is that acceptable?"

"Why should I?" The Empress Dowager not only didn’t subside in anger but grew even angrier.

"Do you think that once Xuanxuan wakes up, he can protect you? Do you still want him to defy his Imperial Father for you, is that it?"

The Emperor probably didn’t expect the Empress Dowager to suddenly become so agitated.

For a moment, he also didn’t know what to say.

Only Chu Qianli, cursed like this, maintained an expressionless face, utterly calm.

"Empress Dowager, I cannot leave."

"You get out!"

"If I leave, no one can treat the Prince," she replied calmly.

"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager looked at Jin Momo, anxiously commanding, "Wasn’t the Imperial Physician brought here? Hurry! Let the Imperial Physician in!"

The Emperor and Steward Qing only then remembered, they had come with the Imperial Physicians.

Steward Qing hurriedly said, "Please, let the two Imperial Physicians come in."

After the two Imperial Physicians entered, they immediately took Feng Yexuan’s pulse.

The Empress Dowager was still not satisfied and angrily ordered, "Someone, take this wretched woman down for me, drag her out, and beat her to death with random sticks!"

Beat to death with random sticks!

This was the first time the always renownedly merciful Empress Dowager had issued such a severe command.

It was clear she was truly driven mad by rage, having lost all reason.

Knowing that Feng Yexuan had sustained such injuries because of a maid serving Chu Qianli, what reason could the Empress Dowager possibly have left?

She was furious, so furious that her liver ached, her stomach ached, her entire body ached!

Such an absurd event had never occurred in the Imperial Family from ancient times to the present.

Just a mere maid!

Simply because she was a maid of Chu Qianli’s?

Her Xuanxuan’s life was valued too cheaply!

This woman had given her Xuanxuan some sort of drug, cast some sort of spell; her Xuanxuan had completely gone mad for her.

"Quick! Someone come quickly!"

Liujin hurried over, anxiously saying, "Empress Dowager, spare her! You cannot punish Miss Chu like this, what if the Prince wakes up..."

"I want to deal with this harmful woman before Xuanxuan wakes up!" the Empress Dowager affirmed with determination, angrily ordering, "Quick, someone! Drag her out, now!"

Even if Xuanxuan woke up angry and hateful towards her, she couldn’t care less now!

As long as Xuanxuan could escape this woman’s entanglement, it would be like escaping from a sea of suffering!

She was saving Xuanxuan!

Even if Xuanxuan hated her for it, she didn’t care!

All she wanted was for her Xuanxuan to live a life without turmoil, safe and sound!

"Someone come!"

Several guards rushed in.

Steward Qing glanced at the Emperor and faltered, "This..."

If they executed Chu Qianli while the Prince was heavily ill and unconscious, given how much the Prince cared for Chu Qianli, he truly might lose his mind!

By then, no one would know what Prince Yexuan might do.

Perhaps...perhaps the outcome would be extremely horrifying!

This was no joking matter!

The Emperor’s face was expressionless, but his brows were continuously furrowed.

He was, in fact, a bit conflicted, a bit distressed.

He too didn’t want to see Feng Yexuan act out over this woman and do anything more outrageous.

Yet, he also felt somewhat uneasy.

If they truly executed Chu Qianli, once Xuanxuan woke up, he... might he do something that everyone would find unbearable?

Looking at the Empress Dowager again, she was still making a big fuss.

At this moment, it seemed even the Empress Dowager was on the verge of madness.

All because of Chu Qianli...

The Emperor thought for a moment, then suddenly walked over to a chair on the side and sat down, saying indifferently, "This matter shall be entirely up to the Empress Dowager."

He didn’t give the order, so the matter was none of his concern.

When Feng Yexuan awoke, no matter how he might rage or go mad, it shouldn’t be directed at him.

As for the Empress Dowager, Xuanxuan had always treated her with utmost respect and affection; presumably, he wouldn’t do anything too insane.

With a wave of his hand, the Emperor said indifferently, "Follow the Empress Dowager’s wishes."
