"Hurry up and leave." Xie Yuancheng tossed the medicine bottle to her and dismissed her.
He poured the dew onto his arm and casually wrapped it with a strip of cloth.
“That won’t do. I have to find the prince consort. I’ve already sneaked out tonight, so I must see him. I know he’s at the Ji residence, but I haven’t seen him leave. What’s so good about that Princess Da Zhao? She has a bad temper and likes to throw things. I’ve chosen the prince consort of Da Zhao to be my man this time, so I can take him back to Chequ with me.”
I was stunned. Was she coming to arrest me? Could she really be blind?
Now it's Xie Yuancheng's turn to glare at me, and I'm just grinning at him like an idiot. You really can't blame me for this.
“Cailu, you and your brother owe me a favor last time, and I’ll ask you to repay it this time. Let the prince consort go, and you can choose another one. There are many talented people in the Great Zhao, and you’ll surely find someone you like.”
Xie Yuancheng held a piece of black iron in his hand. He had connections with Chequ State, which must be for the purpose of forming an alliance with them in the future. He couldn't sacrifice the opportunity for me.
"No way!" Cailu and I said in unison.
I countered by asking her, "It's wrong of you to steal the prince consort of the Great Zhao."
Cai Lu looked alluring, but her laughter was arrogant: "What's wrong with that? Right now, the Great Zhao is demanding that we maintain the northern border of our territory. The people I want, you have to give them to me whether you want to or not."
I pushed Xie Yuancheng forward a step, grabbed his arm, and asked, "Do you know who I am?" Xie Yuancheng took my hand and gently shook his head.
"I don't care who you are. Even if you're good-looking, don't flaunt it in front of me. I have to remind you that Brother Xie is already married. If you're with him, you can only be his mistress."
"I am his mistress, and the prince consort is also his mistress. The Marquis likes to collect beauties, and his relationship with the prince consort has long been impure. The things they do together are probably beyond your imagination. Otherwise, why would the prince consort run away?"
“You’re lying. How could Brother Xie be messing around with the Prince Consort? With his character and looks, he could have any woman he wanted.”
"So you can't see clearly, so I'll be very generous. It doesn't matter who the Marquis is with, as long as I'm by his side."
"Hmph, the women of your Great Zhao have no backbone."
"You have backbone, how could you possibly like a prince consort who has homosexual tendencies?"
“I will take him back to Chequ, and that will make him give up on the idea.”
"How could that be? The Marquis is very gentle with the Prince Consort. The Prince Consort just can't forget him. If you were to take him back, he would probably just be a cold, lifeless corpse."
"You're lying; how dare you slander him."
Cailu was about to swing her whip when I quickly hid behind Xie Yuancheng. He threw a hidden dart, which knocked Cailu's whip away.
"Brother Xie, your woman is slandering my man!" Cailu angrily accused me.
Xie Yuancheng turned to look at me and sighed. I leaned on his shoulder and chuckled, "But that's the truth. When the prince consort left, we were still together."
Cai Lu was stunned: "You, how could you? If the ill-tempered Princess Da Zhao finds out, it will definitely be bad for the prince consort. No, I have to save him from this misery. Brother Xie, please let him go and give him to me."
Cai Lu is so devoted, it's unbelievable.
Xie Yuancheng shielded me, saying, "Cailu, you should go back. The title of Imperial Son-in-Law is really not suitable for you. Actually, there are many people in Dazhao who are just like the Imperial Son-in-Law. It's just that your time hasn't come yet."
