Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 409 - 408: Never Let Them Live Happily

Chapter 409: Chapter 408: Never Let Them Live Happily

Tie Xin took a deep breath and at last, he managed to regain a sliver of calm.

Although he also deeply hated Liujin, who acted as an accomplice, he was clear in his heart that if not for the Prince’s willingness, no one could force him to do these things!

"Go away, you are not needed here."

Tie Xin forcefully pushed Liujin away.

Still undeterred, Liujin said, "Tie Xin, let me..."

"Get lost!" Tie Xin struck out at him with a palm.

If he did not leave now, once Consort Yu came out, he wouldn’t be able to!

Considering that Prince Yexuan and their Prince had been close brothers since childhood, Tie Xin did not wish for Liujin to meet his end here!

"Get lost quickly!"

Liujin took one last look towards the direction of the bedroom and, at last, turned around and left.

But he did not truly leave; that night, he stayed in the front courtyard, waiting.

The junior guard knew he was there; if there was any stir from the Prince’s side, at least they could immediately notify him.

It was only when the sky was about to brighten and there was no disturbance in the Prince Residence that Liujin finally breathed a sigh of relief and left Prince Xiaoyao Residence.

It was said that Consort Yu used to be a person from the martial world and her martial arts were hidden and profound.

Precisely because of this, none of the consorts in the harem dared to provoke Consort Yu.

However, in recent years, Consort Yu seemed to have lived a tranquil life, spending her days with the green lamp accompanying the Buddha, praying for Prince Xiaoyao.

Now, it seemed that the rumor of her profound and unfathomable martial arts was true.

That night, Tie Xin and the nanny Wen stood guard outside Feng Wuya’s bedroom all night.

There was no talking, not even a single exchange.

Not long after Liujin had left and before the sky had brightened, some noise finally came from inside, and someone came out.

Tie Xin suddenly rose from the ground and watched the tightly closed door.

The door was opened, and the person who came out was Consort Yu.

"Your Highness..." Nanny Wen’s voice choked up, and her vision instantly blurred.

Her Highness... had transformed like this!

That face, which was clearly in its thirties, was now all wrinkled!

Her black hair, though not as white as the Prince’s, was also patchy and fading.

The completely lifeless face looked undeniably like that of a woman in her fifties or sixties!

"Your Highness..." When Nanny Wen tried to help her, she was pushed away vigorously.

Even Tie Xin was so shocked that he couldn’t speak; he just stared at Consort Yu’s face, having forgotten to breathe.

Consort Yu... had turned pale overnight!

While the Prince had only whitened a head full of hair, Consort Yu had aged entirely.

The appearance of the past was no longer visible even in the slightest; thoroughly and completely, she had become an old woman in her twilight years.

"Your Highness..."

"Look after your Prince well."

Consort Yu stepped out from the room.

Every step she took was so heavy.

That silhouette was indescribably cold and desolate.

Tie Xin did not dare to follow her. He hesitated for a moment and immediately turned to enter the room.

Feng Wuya was still sleeping on the bed, looking peaceful.

But that head of white hair was painfully striking.

Each time he saw it, it made Tie Xin feel even more distressed.

However, he seemed to be, although still very weak, at least not as he was last night, as if he was going to... disappear at any moment.

Tie Xin breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to turn back to check on Consort Yu’s situation.

But at the doorway, where was Consort Yu’s figure in the courtyard?

Consort Yu had left!

Did the Prince know that Consort Yu had aged overnight for his sake?

Tie Xin walked to the bedside, carefully covering Feng Wuya with the blanket.

Feng Wuya was sleeping deeply, his breathing was weak but at least it was even.

"I wonder how Consort Yu is doing now? Prince, wake up quickly, your servant is worried about Consort Yu..."

Tie Xin sat by the bed, full of anxiety. "Consort Yu... could she harm Miss Chu?"

...

Consort Yu would not kill Chu Qianli.

Because if Chu Qianli once died, her son, I’m afraid, would not live either!

Last night, in his haze, Wuya kept saying, "If Mother intends to harm Ali, then kill me first."

She couldn’t make a move against that woman.

But she, also could not stand idly by and watch her own son suffer, while Chu Qianli was still able to enjoy her time with Feng Yexuan!

How could they do justice to her son?

Chu Qianli was returned last night.

After Liujin had brought her back, he used the excuse that she was exhausted from treating the Fifth Prince and needed to sleep, asking Fu Ning to request that Prince Yexuan refrain from disturbing her for the time being.

Feng Yexuan had come over and indeed found the girl sleeping very deeply, not even aware of his entrance.

If it wasn’t for her strong and even breathing, he would have suspected that she had been drugged into unconsciousness.

She must be really tired to sleep so soundly, it seems.

During the time of his affliction, it was always Chu Qianli who personally took care of his treatment, and it was said that in the beginning, she hardly slept.

Now that she finally slept so soundly, he couldn’t bear to disturb her.

So he could only watch her for a while before returning to his own chamber.

Early this morning, Liujin came.

Upon arrival, he knelt before him with a thud.

"Is it Lili who’s in trouble?" Feng Yexuan’s heart tightened, and he stood up abruptly.

"It’s not Miss Chu."

Liujin bowed his head, having not slept all night, and his voice sounded extremely hoarse. "It’s... the Fifth Prince."

...Regarding the Mandarinfish Poisonous Insect, Liujin selectively recounted the details to Feng Yexuan.

About Feng Wuya severing his own heart meridian to remove the insect, as not to implicate Chu Qianli, he also spoke briefly.

The more Feng Yexuan listened, the colder his heart became.

Severing the meridians!

Wuya was already so frail, how could he live after severing his meridians!

"You... actually took matters into your own hands!"

Feng Yexuan’s face went ashen, and he immediately strode towards the door.

Such a big matter, and no one consulted him.

Chu Qianli might be unaware, but why didn’t his fifth brother come to him first? Perhaps, there could have been another way.

Severing his meridians, did he truly not want to live?

Feng Yexuan was not angry, but rather, worried.

He didn’t know how Feng Wuya was doing now!

Even though Liujin said that Consort Yu was using her martial arts to protect Wuya’s heart meridian, with such severe injuries, it was doubtful they could be contained for long!

He had to see Wuya himself, had to find a way to save his life.

However, just as Feng Yexuan was leaving his chamber, he saw Leng Ji rushing over in a panic. "Prince, Prince, there’s... there’s trouble with Miss Chu!"

...

The Palace Maid responsible for delivering the meal said that an old lady with half-white hair and lavish clothing had taken Miss Chu away.

Fu Ning had pursued them, so the maid hurriedly went to inform Leng Ji.

When Feng Yexuan caught up at the back mountain, he found Fu Ning on the ground, still vomiting blood.

"Who took the lady?" Liujin immediately went over and helped Fu Ning up.

Feng Yexuan took a few quick steps, his tall figure towering in front of Fu Ning.

Fu Ning took a deep breath and, finally recovering his voice, said, "It’s... Consort Yu. Consort Yu... kidnapped the lady and ran... in that direction."

The direction of the Imperial Palace!

Fu Ning didn’t finish speaking when he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Look after her!"

Feng Yexuan dropped these words, took a stride with his feet, and quickly pursued.
