Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 470 - 469: Who Gave You the Courage?

Chapter 470: Chapter 469: Who Gave You the Courage?

Feng Wuya sat down in the chair.

Wei Qiong ordered someone to bring some snacks and tea.

Tie Xin hurriedly said, "Our Prince does not drink tea at night, Miss Chu has said, drinking tea will affect the Prince’s sleep."

Wei Qiong was stunned, then immediately ordered the tea to be taken away.

"Then, shall I order someone to prepare some ginseng tea for the Prince?"

"Ginseng tea is even less suitable," Tie Xin shook his head.

"Then..."

"If General Wei has something to say, just speak," Feng Wuya said indifferently.

Whether it was tea or snacks, he was uninterested in things from outsiders.

Wei Qiong quickly caught onto this and said with a light smile, "The Prince really does listen to Miss Chu."

There was a trace of envy in her tone.

However, she did not dwell on it.

Once Tie Xin and the servants had left, Wei Qiong looked at Feng Wuya and said, "Actually, last night I had mentioned to Miss Chu, hoping that you could lend us a helping hand."

In fact, now, Wei Qiong did not want to bring it up anymore.

After hearing his guqin tonight and seeing his graceful and captivating figure, she herself did not want to say those words.

It felt as if saying them would be like sullying his purity.

Yet she didn’t know what other topics could keep this gentleman here.

Without a topic of interest to him, he had wanted to return to rest before, hadn’t he?

On such a night, under such cool breeze, for some reason, she just wanted to spend more time with him.

"Please speak," Feng Wuya’s voice was as light as his demeanor, clear as water and yet as gentle as the wind.

Even with an aloof and indifferent air, it was still intoxicating to listen to.

Wei Qiong was momentarily lost in his tone.

But when she looked up and met his slightly impatient gaze, she hastily said, "It’s like this, I feel that the Grand Princess and Her Majesty the Empress are both..."

But after thinking for a moment, she shook her head and smiled, saying, "On this matter, I promised Miss Chu I would not speak of it anymore, but... but I just wanted to have a cup of tea with the Prince here."

In the end, she couldn’t help revealing her own inner thoughts.

If it had been any other time, Feng Wuya would certainly have got up and left.

He least liked women making excuses to get close to him, and Wei Qiong had even admitted to it herself.

Yet, the forthright and candid manner of Wei Qiong’s admission was not detestable.

Just, neither was it likable.

"How has the relationship between the Grand Princess and Her Majesty the Empress always been?"

Wei Qiong was startled and looked up at him.

He had actually brought up this topic on his own?

She was somewhat at a loss, and could only respond truthfully, "Several months ago, the Grand Princess was a frivolous person, and Her Majesty was always dissatisfied with her."

"But since Her Majesty has only one daughter, the Grand Princess, no matter how dissatisfied, there was nothing she could do."

"Yet precisely because the Grand Princess was ignorant and accomplished nothing, the decision to confer the title of Crown Prince had always been undecided by Her Majesty, she really saw no hope in her."

"Until, several months ago..."

Feng Wuya did not speak, but from the attentive look in his eyes, Wei Qiong knew he was earnestly listening.

Wei Qiong continued, "I don’t know when it started, roughly two or three months ago? I can’t quite remember."

"The Grand Princess seemed to have changed overnight, growing up suddenly, not only taking the initiative to train her own troops in the military, but also starting to shoulder national affairs on behalf of Her Majesty."

"Her Majesty soon began to value the Grand Princess highly, entrusting her with many matters and even giving her military power."

"Now Her Majesty is very pleased with the Grand Princess, and it seems that it won’t be long before she will confer the title of Crown Prince."

Wei Qiong looked at Feng Wuya: "Although I find the Grand Princess’s change to be miraculous, she is indeed the Grand Princess, genuine and unaltered."

Ordinary people, upon hearing of the Grand Princess’s transformation, would first think, could the Grand Princess be an imposter?

Wei Qiong had harbored doubts herself, so without waiting for Feng Wuya to voice his concerns, she preemptively dispelled them.

Feng Wuya lowered his gaze, lost in thought.

Wei Qiong wanted to say more, but at that moment, outside came a guard, who reported in a low voice, "General, the Grand Princess has arrived."

"The Grand Princess?" Wei Qiong’s expression changed slightly.

Why would the Grand Princess come at such a late hour?

"The Grand Princess said, she wishes to meet... Prince Xiaoyao."

Wei Qiong looked at Feng Wuya and, seeing no reaction from him, wondered whether he wanted to meet her or not.

Probably not, right?

However, it wasn’t easy to brush off the Grand Princess either.

"Prince, since you don’t wish to meet the Princess, I will go first... to speak with her."

If the Grand Princess had sent him here and he refused to meet her, the night was liable to end in endless trouble.

The Grand Princess was not someone easy to deal with.

Feng Wuya still didn’t speak.

Wei Qiong had no choice but to bid him farewell, then she stood up and followed the guard away.

The guards there couldn’t stop Long Xinghe at all.

Wei Qiong hadn’t yet gotten around the flower bed when she heard the servants trying to stop the advance, "Grand Princess, the Prince has already retired to rest, perhaps... perhaps let me announce your visit first..."

"Get lost!" Long Xinghe kicked the person aside.

Wei Qiong immediately quickened her pace.

But unexpectedly, before she could get there, a cold voice tinged with displeasure came from behind her, "General Wei, I would like to go back and rest; why obstruct me?"

What? What did that mean?

Wei Qiong was somewhat confused and turned around to see Feng Wuya approaching from behind her, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of her.

"Prince..." she hadn’t obstructed him from resting, had she? Weren’t they just conversing amicably?

Feng Wuya stood in front of her, keeping some distance.

That handsome face which usually showed little emotion now bore a hint of anger.

"General Wei, I have no interest in you, so please do not bother me further!"

With that, he attempted to leave.

On the other hand, Wei Qiong felt extremely uncomfortable, truly not having realized what was going on.

She didn’t have time to figure it out either.

From behind the cluster of flowers came the approach of a tall figure, taking quick strides.

"Wei Qiong, you’ve got some nerve!"

Long Xinghe arrived, exuding an aura of chill and also burning rage.

"I, the Princess, brought the distinguished guest here, and you dared to pester him while I was away! Who gave you such audacity!"

"Grand Princess..." Wei Qiong turned around and bowed, "I have seen the Grand Princess, this... is all a misunderstanding."

She seemed to be starting to understand.

Yet, there was still a sense of unease in her heart.

Long Xinghe didn’t listen to her and continued straight towards Feng Wuya, "Wuya, what exactly did Wei Qiong do to you just now?"

Feng Wuya slowed his steps and looked at Long Xinghe as she approached him.

His face had regained its usual composure, indistinguishable from his normal state, but the anger in his eyes was still unmistakable.

"The Princess need not worry about my affairs!"

"Wuya, are you angry with me?"

Long Xinghe could tell at a glance that half of his anger was actually directed at her.

Indeed, it was she who had brought him here, and if he had been troubled by someone at this place, it was natural for him to be annoyed with her as well.

Long Xinghe hurriedly spoke, "Wuya, if you’re displeased with staying here, would you consider staying temporarily at my Princess Residence instead?"
