Chapter 3: Breaking off the Engagement



"Okay!" Little did they know that the Queen Mother agreed to Yun Qianmeng's request without hesitation!

"But you must remember not to act rashly again!" But when the Queen Mother's eyes swept across the wound on Yun Qianmeng's head, she added this sentence, as if she was worried that Yun Qianmeng would see Prince Chen lose his mind again!

Hearing the warning in the Queen Mother's words, Yun Qianmeng lowered her head slightly and said calmly, "Yes!"

"Prime Minister Yun, please come with me! After all, you are Meng'er's father!" The Queen Mother then turned around and spoke to Yun Xuanzhi, but her shrewd eyes revealed a hint of blame, as if accusing Yun Xuanzhi of not caring about her daughter!

Sensing the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with him, Yun Xuanzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Qianmeng, who lowered her head, before respectfully saying, "I will obey the Queen Mother's order!"

Led by the Queen Mother, the group slowly walked towards the Golden Throne Hall...

Perhaps the Queen Mother slowed down her pace out of sympathy for Yun Qianmeng's head injury, but this also happened to give Yun Qianmeng time to familiarize herself with the relationships between the various people...

"Your humble servant pays homage to the Empress Dowager! Hey, what happened to Miss Yun? Why is she covered in blood?" Just as Yun Qianmeng was sorting out the fragments in her mind, a teasing voice came from the front. The cynical voice made everyone pause!

"Why is Prime Minister Chu here?" Seeing someone openly talking about Yun Qianmeng's appearance, the Queen Mother's face darkened slightly, and her voice was filled with displeasure!

Yun Xuanzhi's face was also ashen, and his tightly pursed lips betrayed his anger...

Yun Qianmeng raised her head slightly, her gaze passed the empress dowager in front of her, and saw a man with a faint smile standing at the entrance of the Golden Throne Hall. He was dressed in a crimson purple official uniform of the first rank, and his tall figure made him look unusually noble. In particular, his temples were as sharp as a knife, his eyebrows were like ink painting, his face was like peach petals, and his eyes were like autumn waves. At this moment, he was staring at them with a smile, which made him look very handsome, even more eye-catching than the indifferent Prince Chen!

The Queen Mother just called him "Prime Minister of Chu". I'm afraid this person is Chu Feiyang, the famous left prime minister of Western Chu State!

"In reply to the Queen Mother, I have something to report to the Emperor, and unfortunately, we've run into each other!" Although Chu Feiyang was answering the Queen Mother's question, his gaze pierced through the crowd and looked directly at Yun Qianmeng...

However, those eyes that contained wisdom in their faint smile showed a slight surprise when they noticed Yun Qianmeng's calm and confident expression and her gaze staring at him. Then they smiled again, personally lifted the curtain, and respectfully invited the Queen Mother in!

Because of Chu Feiyang's actions, the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with annoyance, but the eunuch had already announced her arrival, so she could only walk into the hall with Chu Feiyang!

"Why did the Queen Mother come here in person?" Emperor Yugan respected the Queen Mother very much and stood up to greet her personally!

When King Chen, who was originally standing in the main hall, saw Yun Qianmeng, disgust instantly gathered in his eyes!

However, this time, Yun Qianmeng didn't lose her temper because of Prince Chen's obvious dislike for her. She followed the Queen Mother and slowly stepped into the hall...

A strong smell of blood instantly rushed from the hall to everyone's faces, and Yun Qianmeng's eyes couldn't help but fall on the red pillar with a coiled dragon!

Although the pillar had been cleaned, there was still a pool of dark red blood on the nearby carpet; although the hall was filled with fragrance, it still could not cover up the pungent smell of blood!

Especially the indifferent look on Prince Chen's face. When he saw her figure, there was obvious disgust in his eyes, which made Yun Qianmeng feel a little angry!

It seems that in King Chen's heart, human life is so worthless!

Although he did not agree with Yun Qianmeng's suicide and was very disdainful of her cowardice, the person was gone and was just a poor person!

Yun Qianmeng bowed slightly to Emperor Yugan along with everyone else, then stood aside, looking straight ahead, completely ignoring King Chen!

"Of course it's about Miss Meng! Prince Chen, Miss Meng is the daughter of the prime minister and my niece, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Seeing Prince Chen standing in the hall with a cold face, the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with anger, and she spoke with a questioning tone!

The Queen Mother's words made Yun Qianmeng frown secretly. Then she pretended to be obsessed and once again gazed at Prince Chen affectionately, murmuring, "Prince..."

The infatuated cry made King Chen's eyes freeze instantly, and he said mercilessly, "I have already made it clear that I will never marry you in this life. Put away your extravagant hopes!"

"Are you serious, Your Highness?" Yun Qianmeng put away the disillusioned look in her eyes and spoke in an unusually calm tone to confirm!

"Absolutely true!" Not understanding why Yun Qianmeng's expression changed so quickly, but remembering her previous cowardly look, King Chen answered without hesitation!

"Then it's up to King Chen to do what he wishes!" Yun Qianmeng replied as soon as King Chen finished speaking. Her clear and cold voice fell into everyone's ears, and stunned everyone!

But everyone doesn't understand why Yun Qianmeng, who had been begging for mercy and even risked her life, would suddenly change her mind and want to help King Chen!

This puzzled everyone, who thought Yun Qianmeng had just had a brain injury. They all looked suspiciously at the woman standing in the center of the hall...

Although Yun Qianmeng's forehead injury marred her beauty, the calmness and composure in her eyes, her neither humble nor overbearing attitude, were unprecedented. What surprised everyone even more was that Yun Qianmeng seemed to have been reborn, radiating a confident glow that stunned everyone for a moment...

"Do you think I will fall for your hard-to-get tactics?" A sneer broke the silence of the hall at this moment. King Chen looked at Yun Qianmeng with sarcasm in his eyes, and his words were almost humiliating!

Yun Qianmeng smiled calmly amidst the surprised and puzzled gazes of the crowd, then knelt down before Emperor Yugan and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an order to dissolve the engagement between me and Prince Chen. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other in marriage!"

But I didn’t expect that Yun Qianmeng was serious this time!

If everyone thought her words were just a fit of anger, seeing her actually asking for permission personally, everyone's eyes lit up differently...

"Meng'er, stop talking nonsense! I will make the decision for you. How can I allow you to decide your lifelong affairs without your permission!" The first one to speak was the Queen Mother. She stared at Yun Qianmeng with warning eyes, and pressed Yun Qianmeng's shoulder with one hand with a little excitement, secretly exerting a little force to remind Yun Qianmeng to shut up!

"Meng'er thanks the Queen Mother for her concern! It's just that Prince Chen has no interest in me, so why should I force him? Even if Meng'er marries him, I'm afraid she won't be happy! The Queen Mother sympathizes with Meng'er, and I'm afraid she can't bear to see her live a miserable life!" But Yun Qianmeng didn't seem to feel the Queen Mother's good intentions at all. Instead, she spoke with a firm face, leaving the Queen Mother unable to find words to refute!

It was not until this moment that King Chen, who was standing by, realized that he had really been tricked by this little woman!

She pretended to be pitiful before, but suddenly changed her expression after trying to get him to talk!

Seeing Yun Qianmeng's calm face and unusual coolness in her eyes, without any trace of obsession with him, Prince Chen suddenly felt uncomfortable. This woman had just tried to commit suicide for him, so why did she act so indifferent now?

"Yun Qianmeng, you..." Prince Chen was about to speak when he was interrupted by a male voice beside him...

"Your Majesty, since Prince Chen and Miss Yun have both voluntarily canceled their engagement, why don't Your Majesty help them to achieve their goal, so that there won't be another resentful couple in this world!" Unexpectedly, Chu Feiyang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and his words immediately caused Prince Chen to glare at him!

How can a left prime minister influence the marriage of a prince?

However, he was the one who first proposed to cancel the engagement. If he tried to keep Yun Qianmeng now, wouldn't he be contradicting himself?

Just as Prince Chen frowned in thought, Yun Qianmeng suddenly spoke again, "I beg the Emperor and the Queen Mother to grant this favor, considering Meng'er lost her mother at a young age!"

Seeing Yun Qianmeng's determined expression, Emperor Yugan exchanged glances with the Queen Mother. After a moment of contemplation, he said with regret, "If that's the case, let's just drop the matter!"
