Chapter 182 Letting Go



Xue Cailian looked down on Yue Lengxin. She thought there was nothing wrong with a little princess from a foreign country being so arrogant. But she needed this little princess to do something, so she had to pretend to be close to her.

"I heard that the maid was wronged in the Night King's Palace, so I came to visit the princess."

Suffered an injustice? What happened to her at the gate of the Night Palace was known to others?

As if she could see through Yue Lengxin's doubts, Xue Cailian kindly explained to her: "Now everyone outside knows that the Princess of Northern Frontier was turned away at the Night Palace and lost face."

Yue Lengxin was furious: "Who said that? How dare you talk nonsense and slander this princess!"

"This..." Xue Cailian sighed, "Of course it was the Night King's Concubine who deliberately embarrassed the princess. Apart from her, I really can't think of anyone else. Speaking of which, why is the princess so stupid? Lu Yanluo is very scheming and has great means to dominate the Night King's heart. The reason why His Highness is like this is all because of Lu Yanluo. If the princess really likes His Highness the Night King, she can get rid of Lu Yanluo. Then His Highness will naturally not reject such a noble princess like you."

Xue Cailian tried to instigate Yue Lengxin to kill Lu Yanluo. Before entering the palace, she had planned that Yue Lengxin would never give up. As long as she lured her, she would be able to make Yue Lengxin take action.

By the time Lu Yanluo dies and the Princess of Northern Frontier murders the princess, no one will be able to stop her from marrying into the Night King's Palace.

Yue Lengxin looked Xue Cailian up and down, sneered, and said, "Do you think this princess is a fool? I remember you. On the day of the autumn hunt, it was you who drugged His Highness's water, and I caught you. In my opinion, you didn't come to visit me, but wanted to use me to kill Lu Yanluo."

"I am a commoner..." Xue Cailian hurriedly tried to defend herself when her thoughts were guessed.

But Yue Lengxin was already annoyed, so she didn't have the patience to argue with her, so she just said to drive her away: "Alright, this princess doesn't have time to talk to you anymore, please leave."

Xue Cailian gritted her teeth secretly and walked away feeling frustrated.

Two days later, the emperor personally issued an order to hold a welcoming banquet for the Princess of Northern Frontier in Jiaotai Hall to show his attention to the people of Northern Frontier.

Two days ago, Yue Lengxin's failure to get married by King Ye aroused the concerns of many people in the court. Princess Beijiang was already of marriageable age. If they could marry her in one go and return to Beijiang in the future, he would be Beijiang's prince consort!

Since they had this idea in mind, all the young men of marriageable age in the various mansions in the capital were eager to try and become acquainted with Yue Lengxin at the banquet.

Lu Yanluo brought Chu Yao with her this time. Although what happened that day was one-sided on Yue Lengxin's part, Lu Yanluo had always had a good impression of this girl. After much thought, she decided to bring Chu Yao with her to apologize to her.

Yue Lengxin looked at the big and small one, and was really a little surprised: "What are you two doing?"

Lu Yanluo patted Chu Yao, signaling him to speak. Chu Yao was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, my mother asked me to apologize to you. I am young and ignorant. Please don't be offended. But my father loves my mother very much. He will not marry you. Please don't pester my father anymore."

Yue Lengxin: “…” Are you sure you’re here to apologize?

Lu Yanluo smiled helplessly and nodded gently: "Princess, I am really sorry for the rumors in the capital these days. I should have made it clear to you earlier, but it turned out like this. Chu Xuan and I are not just a marriage granted by the emperor. Many things that happened in the meantime have already made us inseparable. So I can only say thank you for your kindness to him."

Yue Lengxin suddenly felt like laughing, and she did laugh. She couldn't understand why he was just a man and put a princess like her in such a pitiful situation?

joke!

Having said all, Lu Yanluo nodded again, smiled, turned and left.

Throughout the rest of the banquet, Yue Lengxin's eyes kept unconsciously sweeping towards Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo. Chu Xuan looked at Lu Yanluo from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness.

What a wonderful family of three. Inexplicably, Yue Lengxin suddenly felt relieved. Why should she force it? There are so many good men in the world. Why should she lower her status to find a man who doesn't like her?

Yue Lengxin picked up the wine glass and drank it all. When she raised her head again, the pride and confidence returned to her.

However, this scene seemed particularly dazzling in Xue Cailian's eyes. She didn't know what Yue Lengxin, the princess, was waiting for, and why she didn't take action yet?

Xue Cailian gritted her teeth secretly. Since Yue Lengxin didn't take action, she would push her again.

Just then Yue Lengxin stood up and left, and Xue Cailian followed her out upon seeing her.

"Your Highness." Xue Cailian hurried over and asked, "Where are you going?"

Yue Lengxin glanced at Xue Cailian and replied casually, "It's stuffy in the room, let's go out for a walk."

Xue Cailian smiled and said, "I am visiting Your Highness not because I feel suffocated in the room, but because I feel suffocated in my heart. The Night King and his family of three are so happy and harmonious, which makes others envious. Your Highness likes the Night King so much, are you willing to give up like this?"

"What else? What do you want me to do? Kill Lu Yanluo? You are such a weird person. You clearly want it, but you insist on instigating others to do it. How despicable! Women from our Northern Frontier will fight for someone if they like him. They will never resort to those shameful means. Put away your dirty thoughts and leave me immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Yue Lengxin hit the nail on the head and exposed Xue Cailian's little thoughts, making her very embarrassed.

Xue Cailian's face turned pale and she was furious. She raised her hand and pushed Yue Lengxin hard. Yue Lengxin didn't expect her to do this. She was caught off guard for a moment and her body suddenly fell backwards.

With a splash, Yue Lengxin fell into the water. For a moment, she felt the lake water coming over her head, making her unable to breathe even though she struggled hard: "Help... Help..."

"Help! The princess has fallen into the water!" On the shore, Xue Cailian suddenly shouted heartbreakingly and led people over.

She is not stupid, she will not let Yue Lengxin die. What she wants is to destroy Yue Lengxin's innocence. Just imagine that the clothes wet by the lake water are sticking to Yue Lengxin's body. When she is rescued to the shore, she will inevitably be exposed to others. Then let's see if she still has the face to continue to be arrogant.

The people in the hall rushed over quickly, but before everyone could react, they heard the sound of water, and Lu Yanluo had already jumped into the water and rescued Yue Lengxin.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xuan immediately took the man away to avoid offending Lu Yanluo and Yue Lengxin.

Xue Cailian saw that her plan had failed, and she guiltily wanted to follow the crowd and escape. Unexpectedly, Yue Lengxin opened her eyes at the right time, pointed at Xue Cailian and said, "She was the one who pushed me into the water. Catch her!"

A single word caused a huge uproar, and the guards from Northern Frontier quickly surrounded Xue Cailian. They would never allow anyone to attempt to murder the Princess of Northern Frontier.
