Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 638 - 637: Where did you go last night?

Chapter 638: Chapter 637: Where did you go last night?

Feng Yexuan did not only refrain from evicting Xiaoyao from the Prince Residence last night but even let her stay in his study, accompanying him all night!

When Chu Qianli received this piece of news, she was in the middle of having a manicure.

Anger caused her hand to tremble.

The careless maid accidentally smudged the nail polish onto the back of her hand.

"What are you doing?" At that moment, Chu Qianli, having no outlet for her fury, saw her perfectly fair back of the hand suddenly marred with messy colors and immediately felt her rage boiling over.

"This lowly one deserves death! Your Majesty, spare my life!" The maid trembled all over, fell to the ground with a thud, and continuously kowtowed, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"Worthless wretch!" Chu Qianli kicked her away, "Guards! Drag her out and execute her by beating!"

"Your Majesty!" The maid nearly blacked out from fear, close to fainting.

She had only accidentally gotten nail polish on the back of the Emperor’s hand!

"Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life, please!"

In the Prince Residence, such terrifying incidents had never occurred before.

Although the Prince was cold and irascible, he would not take a servant’s life without reason.

The master of the Prince Residence never wantonly killed the innocent.

Unless, indeed, a capital crime had been committed!

"Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty... Prince, save me! Prince, save my life please! Ah... ah ah..."

The maid was dragged to the backyard for her execution, and it wasn’t long before her screams disappeared.

"Your Majesty," Qing Mei came back and reported, "That maid is dead."

"Is it necessary for Us to deal with a dead person?" Chu Qianli, still furious, her face tightened, was already starting to look hideous again.

Qing Mei immediately bowed her head low, anxiously saying, "This subordinate will handle it right away!"

Qing Mei turned and left.

Chu Qianli hurriedly turned around, not letting anyone see her face.

Hongchou, with her head bowed, said nothing, also retreating to leave.

But all of a sudden, Chu Qianli said coldly, "Where did you go last night?"

Hongchou stiffened, saying softly, "Last night, I was... in the Prince Residence..."

"Hongchou, you are a clever person. If he wasn’t preoccupied with too many things in his mind at that time, even somewhat delirious, do you think, with your martial arts skills, he would not have noticed you?"

Hearing this, Hongchou’s face changed dramatically and she promptly knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, your subordinate knows her fault! But your subordinate has not the slightest disloyalty towards Your Majesty, and had no intention of prying into Your Majesty’s private affairs. Your subordinate went out only to protect Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I beg your discernment!"

Last night, Hongchou followed Chu Qianli to the back mountain alone, indeed solely for her protection.

But she never imagined that she would inadvertently overhear such a terrifying secret!

She is not Chu Qianli, she’s an impostor!

The Beiming’s number one assassin, called Yu Linglong!

In just one night, Hongchou had thoroughly investigated her background.

Yu Linglong, previously a highly favored lady by the Empress Dowager’s side, who this time ventured on a military campaign with Prince Yexuan, was rumored to have died on the battlefield, with her bones not to be found.

Yet who could have expected, she wasn’t dead, she had risen from the ashes!

Hongchou couldn’t fathom how she managed to develop a face identical to Chu Qianli’s.

But hearing that she was a disciple of Wu Chenzi, if Wu Chenzi knew such mystical arts, then it wasn’t impossible.

After all, Wu Chenzi was a legendary figure throughout the whole Cangqiong Continent.

With her head lowered, Hongchou said solemnly, "Your Majesty spent money to procure the services of me and my sister, in this lifetime, we are naturally only loyal to Your Majesty!"

"No matter how many secrets I hear, no matter what I know, there is only one master for your subordinate, and that is Your Majesty alone!"

Yet Chu Qianli narrowed her eyes, staring at her sweating back, "What do you think, will We believe your words?"
