After Su Lianwu was rejected and disgraced by the Second Princess, the Second Princess did not take any further revenge. However, his bad reputation somehow spread throughout the capital.
Whenever he went out, he would often find people pointing and whispering about him behind his back.
To make matters worse, Su Zhen discovered that Ayu had been a spy and immediately sent her to prison, leaving him no chance to take revenge or torture her.
Su Lianwu vented all his anger on Su Wanshi, feeling that it was all his sister's bad idea to seduce the second princess.
But he never considered that he actually agreed to seduce her because he wanted to despicably use the Second Princess's power to climb the social ladder.
Otherwise, based on his brotherly affection for Su Wanshi, it would be impossible for him to agree.
However, from then on, he and Su Wanshi completely broke off their relationship.
Su Wanshi also realized that the connection between her eldest brother and the second princess was unreliable, so she had to seek protection elsewhere. After thinking for a long time, she finally thought of Xiao Churen.
Although Xiao Churen is currently disliked and punished by Emperor Wenjian, he is still a prince, and he may be able to turn the tide in the future.
So she took the initiative to go find Xiao Churen again.

"How dare he beat me like this! It's not too much for me to just take one of his arms, is it?"
On the training ground, Xiao Churen stood in the middle with a bruised and swollen face, pointing at a young man with a burly, bronze complexion dressed in military uniform and speaking loudly.
He was surrounded by soldiers, but not a single one spoke up for him; they all stood by with cold expressions.
“King Chu, now that you’ve entered the military camp for training, you’re the same as us. It’s common for people to get injured in these sparring matches. Chang Wu hasn’t done anything wrong, so you can’t punish him.”
At this moment, an older soldier leader stepped forward to offer advice.
"What sparring? Can't you see he injured me? Even if I'm down on my luck, you people can't lay a hand on me. Today, I'm going to break his arm!"
Xiao Churen didn't buy it at all and just snorted coldly.
Just now, that burly soldier took advantage of the training competition to beat him up. No matter how much he shouted for him to stop, the man seemed not to hear him.
He was certain that this person was deliberately taking the opportunity to harm him.
My father sent me to this military camp to be tempered and suffer as punishment, but that doesn't mean that these lowly people can humiliate me.
"King of Chu, that's just your opinion. What we all saw was just a normal friendly sparring match!"
The older soldier leader said helplessly once again.
"I don't care, I'm going to take his arm today! Men, someone go and take his arm off. If you don't, I'll do it myself!"
Blinded by anger, Xiao Churen gave an order to the surrounding soldiers, but not a single one listened to him.
He was so angry that he had no choice but to draw a sword and attack the soldier who had injured him.
But before his sword could fall, there was a clang, and the sword was knocked away from his hand by a force from behind.
Then came a familiar, cold, deep voice.
"Is this how Your Highness Prince Chu is trained and reformed? If Father Emperor knew that you were indiscriminately killing innocent people in the army, I wonder what he would think?"
Xiao Churen turned around and saw Xiao Ye wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with gold pythons, his hands behind his back, walking towards him with steady steps.
A gust of wind swept by, causing the hem of his dark robe to flutter, yet he stood tall and imposing, his features handsome and aloof.
When he stood in front of Xiao Churen, Xiao Churen suddenly felt his aura weaken.
How did that humble prince in a wheelchair become so imposing?
Xiao Churen looked at Xiao Ye with a slightly weary gaze, but thinking of the humiliation he had suffered today, he still straightened his neck.
"Your Highness, your soldiers injured me. I am, after all, a prince. Even if my father dislikes me for a time, I am not someone who can be bullied."
"Bullying you? Who can prove that I'm bullying you?"
Xiao Ye asked casually.
"They all saw it! He deliberately injured me. It was just a friendly spar, but he intentionally hurt me!"
"You said it yourself, it's just a friendly spar. Since it's a friendly spar, injuries are inevitable. Your injury means you're not as skilled as the other person."
Xiao Ye mocked him mercilessly, and Xiao Churen looked ashamed and indignant, feeling that he had been insulted once again.
He took a few deep breaths and said, "Even so, you can't be this ruthless!"
Look at him, is his face even presentable to anyone?
He has never suffered such a serious injury in his entire life!
"You call this ruthless? You should know that you were injured like this just from fighting. If you were on the battlefield with real guns, would you even be able to save your life?"
"Haha, Your Highness is right. The Prince of Chu is just too inexperienced. When we go to the battlefield, we fight with real swords and spears and see blood. His little wound is like an ant bite!"
"If Your Highness can't even withstand this little injury, then you are really too weak. Not to mention that Chang Wu's kung fu is the best among us, just look at how Your Highness can't even accept this little bruise on your face. If a war breaks out, it will be even worse!"
"Back in the day, His Highness the Crown Prince went to the military camp to train when he was just over ten years old. He single-handedly fought three or four masters, and even when he was covered in blood, he never complained. Compared to that, Your Highness's injuries are truly..."
As Xiao Ye finished speaking, the other soldiers around him also started to laugh.
On the one hand, it was because they all disliked the King of Chu; on the other hand, it was because the King of Chu was too frail, and would cut off someone's arm for even the slightest minor injury.
"You, you all deserve to die! I am a prince, who gave you the audacity to mock me!"
Xiao Churen was so angry that veins bulged on his face as he roared, but no one paid any attention to him.
Meanwhile, not far from the training ground, Su Wanshi stood outside the fence, seeing everything clearly inside and hearing the soldiers mocking Xiao Churen.
At the same time, she was also attracted by Xiao Ye, who stood proudly and independently in the crowd, with a god-like figure.
Compared to Xiao Ye, she suddenly felt that Xiao Churen was like dust on the ground, while Xiao Ye was like a star in the sky.
Standing there, his indifferent expression and confident demeanor gave her a fatal attraction.
Suddenly, she felt immense regret. Why had she let Su Liluo marry in her place?
If she hadn't given this opportunity to Su Liluo, wouldn't I be the one who became the Crown Princess now?
The crown prince should have been hers!
Su Lilu stole her man!
Su Wanshi's emotions surged, and she gazed at the outstanding Xiao Ye with tender affection once more, instantly forgetting the purpose of her visit.
Her eyes were only on Xiao Ye, and she happened to think that Su Liluo was not by his side today, so could she go and have a proper meeting with Xiao Ye?
