"Li Mufeng, are you out of your mind?! Why do you make that kid call me 'Mother'?"
Seeing that Li Mufeng had sent the young master Li Muchen away, "Blood Purple Rose" immediately went berserk.
"My woman, if he doesn't call you Mother, what does he call you?"
Li Mufeng looked down at "Blood Purple Rose" with a disdainful gaze, his eyes narrowed, filled with deep inquiry.
Who exactly is this woman?
"Don't you dislike me? Then divorce me. Let's go our separate ways. Why not?"
Feeling the slightly warm breath exhaled by Li Mufeng, "Xue Ziwei" felt her heart skip a beat for some reason. She had to admit that the man in front of her was indeed somewhat devilishly handsome.
She wore a moon-white brocade robe with floral patterns, and her exquisite features made her look like a celestial being who had stepped out of a painting.
His innate nobility was the icing on the cake. "Blood Purple Rose" had seen countless handsome men, but none were as pleasing to the eye as the man before her.
"What wrong has the Princess Consort done? Why should I divorce you?"
Perhaps worried that "Blood Purple Rose" might fall, Li Mufeng reached out and put his arm around her waist. The two were so close that his bobbing Adam's apple and open chest were extremely tempting to "Blood Purple Rose," causing her to involuntarily swallow.
"Does this man have to be so alluring? No, I'm a cold-blooded killer, how could I let beauty seduce me?"
Thinking this, "Blood Purple Rose" spun around, pulling herself out of Li Mufeng's embrace, all seriousness in her expression.
"Your Highness is truly forgetful. I almost killed your son just now. Isn't that enough for Your Highness to divorce me?"
"But you just saved me, so the two crimes cancel each other out. I forgive you."
Li Mufeng had never been interested in a woman before, but at this moment, he had to admit that he had a vague and inexplicable feeling for the woman in front of him.
"No! Your Highness, I was sent by the Prime Minister to kill you. If you keep me alive, I'll be a menace sooner or later."
Upon hearing "Blood Purple Rose's" words, Li Mufeng's eyes sharpened. Seeing that there was a chance, "Blood Purple Rose" pressed on.
"Your Highness may not know, but my father, Prime Minister Han, has always favored Prince Lin, Li Muchen, as the future crown prince."
With the second sister's favor and Prince Lin being the Empress's son, and the Crown Prince being deposed, Prince Lin is the obvious choice for the throne, and Your Highness, you are Prince Lin's biggest obstacle.
"My father wants me to marry the prince, not only to bring him good luck, but more importantly, to see you die a horrible death. If you spare my life, aren't you afraid I might actually kill you one day?"
"Blood Purple Rose" patiently persuades, with only one goal: to get a divorce, to open a "department store" in ancient times, and to live a carefree life.
As for the intrigue and deceit, let those with cunning minds handle that!
"I know all this. I was just curious. You're telling me these things. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?"
Holding Han Ziwei's chin, Li Mufeng admired her even more.
"Have the courage to speak out, which shows that she has a clear conscience. Such an extraordinary woman is truly hard to find in this world."
As Li Mufeng's devilishly handsome face drew ever closer, "Blood Purple Rose's" heart pounded in her chest.
"Oh my god! What is this guy trying to do? Is he going to kiss me? This is my first kiss, I can't just give it away like that."
"On our wedding night, my beloved, what do you think I want to do?"
Red lips, almost touching those thin lips, "Blood Purple Rose" had a thought,
"Give me a bottle of sleeping pills."
Li Mufeng collapsed to the ground with a thud, "Blood Purple Rose" clutching her chest.
"Oh my god! That was close, I almost lost my virginity."
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Wang Feng inquired with concern.
"Blood Purple Crape Myrtle" cleared her throat.
"Someone come here."
Upon hearing the call of "Blood Purple Rose," Wang Feng led his men in and burst in, only to find Li Mufeng lying on the ground.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up, wake up..."
Wang Feng called out anxiously.
"Did you do something to the prince?"
Zhao Hu, another of Li Mufeng's guards, angrily pointed at "Xue Ziwei".
Upon hearing this, "Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.
"Don't falsely accuse others. There's a limit to wrongly accusing someone. The prince was poisoned and was already weak, so it's understandable that he fell into a coma. Carry him to bed and let him rest. He'll wake up naturally after some time."
"You'd better pray that the prince is alright, otherwise..."
Zhao Hu's threatening words were interrupted by Wang Feng before he could finish speaking.
"Alright, quickly help me get the prince to bed. As for the rest, we can talk about it when the prince wakes up."
"That's what a smart person is."
"Blood Purple Rose" clapped her hands, then swaggered out.
"Where is the princess going?"
Wang Feng called out from behind, and "Blood Purple Rose" stiffened.
"This guard is meddling way too much."
Adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble than cause it," "Blood Purple Rose" forced a smile.
"Before the prince fell into a coma, he gave me a letter of divorce, saying that I was suspected of murdering the young prince, which was an established fact. Therefore, I was divorced and naturally had to return to the Prime Minister's residence."
"The princess has been divorced?"
Wang Feng's eyes were filled with doubt. Shouldn't a divorced woman be crying and sobbing? Why was the princess so happy?
When Baihe, the maidservant outside the door, saw her young mistress come out, she asked with concern,
"Miss, are you alright? Has the Prince given you any trouble?"
"Difficult? If that man dares to make things difficult for me, I will definitely cripple him."
Thinking about her recent ambiguous relationship with the man, "Blood Purple Rose" blushed suspiciously.
"Miss?"
Seeing that "Blood Purple Rose" did not speak, the maid Baihe called out again.
"I'm fine. Quickly pack your things and let's go back to the Prime Minister's residence."
Fearing that Li Mufeng might wake up and be unable to leave, "Blood Purple Rose" urged him on.
"Ah? Back to the Prime Minister's residence? Miss's homecoming banquet is in three days. She's only been married for a day now, it's not even dawn yet. Isn't it a bit early for her to go home now?"
The maid, Baihe, looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Why are you going back to the door? I've been divorced."
"Blood Purple Rose" uttered a sentence that truly frightened Lily.
"Why did the prince divorce the young lady? What did she do wrong?"
After a night of turmoil, it was already broad daylight. They borrowed a carriage from the Longxuan Prince's Mansion and finally returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Blood Purple Rose" glanced at the imposing stone lions at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence and the grand mansion itself, a fleeting, obscure glint in her eyes.
"Mu Xue'er, Han Ruyi, Han Bingmo, I'm here to collect interest on behalf of the female lead. Your good days are over."
Thinking this, "Blood Purple Rose" curled the corners of her lips.
"Lily, knock on the door."
