Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 428 - 427: So, You Just Do Whatever You Want?

Chapter 428: Chapter 427: So, You Just Do Whatever You Want?

"Ah!" Yu Linglong gasped, immediately covering her face.

"What, what happened?"

After a sharp pain on her cheek, it suddenly started to itch.

She clawed at it, but the itchy feeling only intensified with her scratching.

"You wretch, what did you put on my face? You..."

"Then you should ask the wretch, not me," Chu Qianli snorted coldly, turning to leave.

Yu Linglong couldn’t let her go and quickly followed.

She hadn’t brought many people with her tonight, just a Palace Maid.

The little Palace Maid, seeing Chu Qianli’s strange gait and speed, had been scared into hiding; she didn’t dare confront her.

Yu Linglong blocked Chu Qianli’s path and angrily said, "How dare you hurt me! Neither the Empress Dowager nor Yexuan will let you off, you..."

"How could I have been bullied by someone as pathetic as you before?"

Chu Qianli, with her arms crossed and a mocking smile, said, "No, I should say, how come I didn’t realize I should bully you before?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Linglong’s face was truly itchy, but she dared not scratch too hard, fearing she would ruin her face.

But, it was so itchy, she felt like she was going to itch to death!

"I mean, I should have bullied you earlier. What need do I have to be concerned?"

Anyway, she didn’t like Feng Yexuan, anyway... how Feng Yexuan saw her, it had nothing to do with her.

What did she need to be concerned about?

"Right, why should I be concerned? Am I not already labeled a major villain?"

Chu Qianli suddenly chuckled and leaped forward with a quick step.

Yu Linglong didn’t see clearly how she struck, but her face received several sharp slaps, one after another.

Her face, painful and itchy, frightened her into a high-pitched scream, "Help! Chu Qianli is trying to kill someone! Help! Yexuan, save me!"

Several guards rushed over, but they were unsure whether to intervene.

After all, Miss Chu had always lived here, and she was now the darling of both Prince and Prince Wuya. Who would dare to lay a hand on her?

But, they couldn’t just let her harm Yu Linglong here, with the Empress Dowager behind Yu Linglong!

The only option was to rush in and report to the Prince.

Chu Qianli, now that she had hit to her content, stopped and stared at her swelling red face, smirking, "You better remember this, don’t provoke me without good reason in the future."

"The initiator is the despicable one, got it? If you provoke me, I will surely hit you. Try it if you don’t believe me."

"You..."

"Hmm?" Chu Qianli stepped forward.

Yu Linglong exclaimed with a gasp, seeing a figure approaching from the corner of her eye.

Immediately, her legs gave way and she thudded onto the ground.

"Yexuan, I was just delivering a decree from the Empress Dowager, but she... she hit me."

Feng Yexuan walked up to her, looking at Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli immediately retreated a dozen steps, distancing herself from this man.

"She insulted me first. If I don’t hit her back, wouldn’t that make me a coward? Don’t think about taking her side, if you lay a finger on me, I’ll poison your food!"

But she was still somewhat panicked.

After all, who wouldn’t be afraid of Prince Yexuan?

So, after dropping these intimidating words, Chu Qianli turned and left.

Hurrying back to Feng Wuya’s side, this despicable man still seemed to care a great deal for his fifth brother. As long as Wuya was there, he wouldn’t rashly mistreat anyone.

So long to you!

Like a gust of wind, that figure vanished in an instant.

Feng Yexuan was somewhat bemused; had he ever said he would help another woman bully her?

They accused her of poisoning him, clearly scared inside, yet she dared to posture in front of him.

"Yexuan..." Yu Linglong was still sitting on the ground, wanting to scratch her face but not daring to.

But it really was so itchy, what should she do?

"Is my floor more comfortable than a chair?" Feng Yexuan turned back, casting a glance down at her.

"Yexuan, Chu Qianli poisoned me, my face..."

"Those who provoke first are contemptible." He’d heard every word that damned woman had said.

Yu Linglong, full of grievances, hoarsely said, "Aren’t you going to deal with her at all? My face... How will I explain this to the Empress Dowager when I return?"

"The Empress Dowager wouldn’t be concerned about your face, you don’t need to explain anything to her."

"Yexuan?" Yu Linglong looked at him, stunned.

How had he become so callous and indifferent? He used to show her a trace of pity, but now, he had become so cold.

"But I..."

"If you have any words from the Empress Dowager, if you don’t speak, I will have someone directly ask the Empress Dowager."

He was running out of patience, if she didn’t speak now, he would leave.

"I’ll speak, I’ll speak!" Yu Linglong quickly got up from the ground.

Her fingertips continued to gently scratch her face; no matter how much she endured, she couldn’t help but scratch.

Her face indeed had been scratched to a rather unsightly state.

"The Empress Dowager said that Linglong possesses good medical skills, and hopes that Linglong could accompany you on the military campaign... Yexuan, where are you going?"

"To send her back." Feng Yexuan gestured.

Leng Ji immediately blocked Yu Linglong’s path: "Miss Yu, the Prince doesn’t need your company, and if you insist on following, you will be disrupting military discipline. The Prince does not tolerate those who do not follow the rules and will order you to be spanked on the spot. Do you understand?"

"You!" Yu Linglong was furious, why did a mere guard dare to speak to her like this now.

But her face was really itching, she was almost unable to restrain herself, wanting to scratch it hard.

"Miss Yu, if I were you, I would rather go back and treat my face now, otherwise if you scratch your face until it’s ruined, that would be a loss beyond redemption."

Reminded by him like this, where would Yu Linglong dare delay, she hurried away.

This Prince Residence was becoming increasingly strange; out of nowhere, she could suffer a disadvantage, and the strangest of all was Chu Qianli!

She used to show some restraint, not daring to act rashly, but now, why did she resort to violence right off the bat?

She’s simply mad!

... Chu Qianli returned to her chamber, and Fu Ning immediately followed her in.

"Miss, I saw everything just now... why did you really hit her?"

Chu Qianli poured herself a cup of tea, looked back at her nonchalantly, "Those asking for a beating get it when they want it; should one choose a day?"

"But behind her is the Empress Dowager..."

"That, you don’t understand."

Chu Qianli gave a faint smile. After drinking a cup of tea, she put down the cup, her eyes twinkling with mirth.

"You haven’t noticed that the Empress Dowager’s trust in Yu Linglong is not like before. After several occasions, the Empress Dowager even began to doubt her medical skills."

"I tell you, even if I beat her now, she wouldn’t dare to complain to the Empress Dowager, believe it or not?"

Fu Ning’s eyes widened in disbelief: "Why?"

A victim not complaining, could Yu Linglong be that foolish?

"She is just too cautious and too scheming, which ultimately leads to numerous reservations."

Chu Qianli sneered, "At a time when the Empress Dowager started to distrust her, every little stir could make her unpopular in front of the Empress Dowager. Now, where would she dare to stir up trouble in front of the Empress Dowager?"

"To reach the position of the Empress Dowager, do you really think she’s a pushover? When doting on Yu Linglong, her tactics seemed like mere whims in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, but when the affection ceased, any whim would turn into scheming."

"Guess if Yu Linglong dares now?"

At the door, however, an ice-cold voice burst in, "So, you think you can do as you please, without any concern, in my Prince Residence?"
