Chapter 117 The Person I Cherish
Liu Ruolan naturally saw through Shen Qingci's intentions, and she stared in astonishment, her eyes widening: "What are you going to do?"
That bitch, how dare she!
Liu Ruolan smiled and said, "Madam, my maids are all martial artists, so they might hit you a little too hard. I'm afraid they might hurt you."
βI am different. Although I was born into a military family, I have never practiced martial arts since I was a child. I am weak and have little strength.β
"For the sake of the prince's prestige, a slap is necessary. Don't worry, Madam, I will be lenient."
As Shen Qingci spoke, he raised his hand and slapped her across the mouth.
Although Shen Qingci slapped him, his expression was very relaxed, as if he hadn't used any force.
But Liu Ruolan cried out in pain, and her eyes changed instantly.
It hurts so much.
But the pain wasn't in the place where Shen Qingci hit him, but in his mouth: "It hurts!"
You bitch!
Shen Qingci, however, still looked frightened and stared at Liu Ruolan in astonishment: "Madam Hou is really good at acting. I clearly didn't use any force."
"Everyone can see for themselves that the areas I hit didn't even turn red!"
Everyone else's gaze also fell on Liu Ruolan's face, and they nodded.
It's true that no force was used, and the areas that were hit didn't turn red.
Liu Ruolan knew perfectly well that this vile woman had used underhanded tactics and dirty tricks!
Just as she was about to speak, Shen Qingci slapped her again, his eyes filled with mockery and malice as he looked at Liu Ruolan.
Liu Ruolan was filled with boundless hatred.
What humiliated her even more than the pain was that Shen Qingci, that bitch, dared to hit her in public!
You slut! She'll definitely find a way to kidnap her and have countless beggars humiliate her! She'll make her wish she were dead, and then she'll die!
Shen Qingci slapped him more than ten times before stopping, then walked up to Chu Jichen with her hand raised in a coquettish manner: "My hand hurts."
Chu Jichen held Shen Qingci's hand and gently blew on it: "If your hand hurts, don't hit me. Let me do it."
After he finished speaking, he pulled a riding crop from the armrest of his wheelchair and lashed it directly at Liu Ruolan.
Liu Ruolan never expected Chu Jichen to suddenly attack. The whip struck her face directly, immediately leaving a bloody welt. Liu Ruolan hurriedly covered her face, almost unable to speak from the pain.
Chu Jichen, holding Shen Qingci's hand, looked at Liu Ruolan's face with a cold gaze: "Bullying my queen, you're courting death!"
"The person I cherish most is not someone you can bully?"
"I am no gentleman. I can do anything, whether it's a woman or a child."
"If anyone still wants to die, feel free to try!"
Prime Minister Liu's forehead veins bulged. "Chu Jichen! This is a veiled insult, a deliberate attack on him, an attack for everyone to see!"
They're deliberately trying to embarrass him!
He opened his mouth, about to speak, but Shen Qingci spoke first: "Since the Lady of the Marquis has already been punished, this matter is over."
"But everyone knows about the Lady Hou's threats against the Prince and me."
"If the prince and I encounter any danger in the future, it will definitely be because of Prime Minister Liu and the Lady of the Marquis."
"Seeing that Lady Hou is also injured, we should hurry back and get her treated."
She turned her head, feigning annoyance: "Your Highness is really something, how could you be so ruthless? The Lady of the Marquis just said that she despises the Marquis of Yongning for his impotence and is about to divorce him. After the divorce, she will naturally remarry. If her face is injured and disfigured, how can she remarry?"
Shen Qingci was doing it on purpose, of course. She believed that soon everyone in the city would know that Liu Ruolan disliked the Marquis of Yongning and intended to divorce him and remarry.
The people of the Yongning Marquis's residence will naturally find out soon.
That will definitely be very interesting.
Liu Ruolan naturally understood the meaning behind Shen Qingci's words. She glared at Shen Qingci fiercely, but couldn't say a word.
She felt that not only her face was injured, but her mouth must also be rotten.
"Why aren't you coming over here? Get back home! You shameful wretch! All you do is spout nonsense and act crazy all day. Go back!"
Prime Minister Liu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. Now that things had come to this, his only option was to pin the blame for Liu Ruolan's madness on her completely.
Liu Ruolan gritted her teeth and dared not utter a sound. Chu Jichen was the real madman; he really would kill her!
She gritted her teeth and walked behind Prime Minister Liu, keeping her head down and not daring to speak.
"roll!"
Liu Ruolan responded and hurriedly left with her maid, her head bowed.
Chu Jichen pulled Shen Qingci aside in her wheelchair and gently rubbed her hand: "I'm so happy. I've wanted to beat Liu Ruolan for a long time, and I even wanted to kill her!"
Shen Qingci curled the corners of her lips: "It's not impossible."
"It's just that I don't get along with Liu Ruolan. Although I just said in front of everyone that if anything happens to us, it will definitely be the work of Prime Minister Liu and Liu Ruolan, the same goes for Liu Ruolan. If anything happens to Liu Ruolan, others will definitely pin the blame on us."
Her eyebrows curved into a smile, her eyes sharpening: "However, we can use someone else to do the dirty work."
"Borrow Huo Yunzhan's knife."
"Huo Yunzhan tried every means to climb up Liu Ruolan's social ladder and get into her bed. Liu Ruolan also played along, pretending not to have noticed anything amiss."
"It would be quite interesting if Liu Ruolan died at Huo Yunzhan's hands."
Chu Jichen raised an eyebrow: "What does the Princess Consort want to do?"
Shen Qingci smiled and said, "Huo Yunzhan already harbors resentment towards Liu Ruolan because she caused him to lose his sexual function."
"If Huo Yunzhan knew that Liu Ruolan wanted to divorce him, he would be even more dissatisfied."
βAt this point, if I add fuel to the fire, Huo Yunzhan will surely fall for it.β
She needed to give Huo Yunzhan a chance, so that he could see her, so that she could add fuel to the fire.
Shen Qingci turned her head and looked at Chu Jichen expectantly.
"The guards that the prince arranged around me can be a little more relaxed."
Chu Jichen narrowed his eyes: "You want to see Huo Yunzhan?"
Judging from his reaction and tone, Shen Qingci knew that he was unhappy.
Shen Qingci reached out and tugged at Chu Jichen's hand: "Just meet him, so I can interfere and sow discord between us."
"Huo Yunzhan is... not good enough now. He doesn't have the ability to do anything to me."
"I am now your wife, and I truly belong to you."
"The grudge with Huo Yunzhan also needs to be resolved."
"It's only fun to step on a drowning dog if you do it yourself."
"Furthermore, I also want to make good use of Huo Yunzhan."
Chu Jichen stroked Shen Qingci's fingers silently.
Shen Qingci said in a soft, sweet voice, "I've heard that Your Highness is an excellent rider. Tonight, I'd like to ask Your Highness for some pointers on horseback riding."
Chu Jichen lifted his eyelids, somewhat tempted: "Doesn't your back hurt?"
Shen Qingci smiled and said, "It hurts, but isn't there a prince here? The prince can help me by massaging it more."
