Chapter 641: Close and Distant



Fear, terror, panic... When she saw the King of Qi, all the grievances came flooding back, causing the Queen of Qi's eyes to turn red instantly. She opened her mouth and shouted, "My Lord..."

However, the King of Qi had no sympathy at all.

If it was a stunning beauty, he might have softened his heart, but Li was plain to begin with, and now she had horrible wounds on her face, looking scarier than a ghost. It would be strange for him to have pity on her.

"Go out." King Qi said to the maid.

The maid bent her knees, lowered her head, walked out, and closed the door.

For a while, the couple were the only ones left in the house.

The Princess of Qi, who was feeling wronged and fearful, did not notice the indifference in the eyes of the Prince of Qi, and choked up and said, "My Lord, I thought I would never see you again..."

The moment she was hanging on the edge of the cliff, she really regretted it.

At that time, there was a whistling cold wind in her ears, which made her sway and she felt like she could fall into the abyss at any time. She was extremely scared and regretful.

So what if the prince can't sit on that throne? So what if she can't become the queen?

If she had just been a leisurely princess, perhaps she could have lived as freely as the Princesses of Yan and Lu, and she wouldn't have had to endure the heartache of sending one woman after another to the prince's bed, and she wouldn't have been reluctant to buy even a fox fur coat she wanted.

Over the years, she has paid so much and endured so much bitterness and grievances for that distant and difficult goal.

When her life was in danger, she did regret it. Maybe it was time to let go of greed and enjoy life.

She had never thought much about spending the rest of her life as a princess before, but now it seems not bad. This is actually an identity that countless women dream of.

The prince of Qi remained silent for a long time, which made the princess of Qi realize that something was wrong.

"My Lord——"

The King of Qi glanced at the Queen of Qi and said coldly: "Your affairs have been exposed."

"My business?"

"You tampered with the carriages and horses in an attempt to harm Princess Yan."

Princess Qi's expression suddenly changed: "My Lord, what are you talking about?"

"The emperor already knows. Li, from now on you should live in Youjian Hall and don't go out to see people." The King of Qi didn't want to stay in this house for long where even the dragons were not lit, so he turned around and left after saying this.

"My Lord, my Lord..." Princess Qi chased after him, ignoring the pain in her body, and grabbed the Prince of Qi's clothes tightly, "Tell me clearly, what happened?"

The Prince of Qi turned around and briefly explained the situation. He met the Princess of Qi's terrifying and abnormal face, and his expression became even colder: "Things have come to this. There is no turning back. Anyway, you should take care of yourself and don't make a fuss."

Princess Qi looked at this indifferent man and felt as if her soul had flown away: "My Lord, am I still dreaming?"

"Look in the mirror and you will know whether you are dreaming or not." King Qi said calmly.

He was very angry with Princess Qi.

I have never seen such a stupid woman, who not only hurt herself but also almost implicated him.

After hearing the reminder from the King of Qi, Princess Qi looked around and immediately rushed to the dressing table in the corner.

The terrifying face in the mirror made her scream: "No, no——"

Seeing Princess Qi screaming madly, Prince Qi became more and more impatient and turned around and walked towards the door.

He reached out to open the door, but Princess Qi rushed over and grabbed him.

"My Lord, you know, you clearly know that I do all this for you!"

King Qi remained silent.

Princess Qi became more and more desperate, and shouted regardless of everything: "I have no intention of harming Princess Yan at all. It was my mother who asked me to do this--"

"Shut up!" King Qi turned around and shouted.

Princess Qi was quiet for a moment, and then she saw that the man's eyes became more and more ferocious, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.

"Li, at this time, you still want to drag my mother into this, what is your intention?"

Princess Qi shook her head: "My Lord, you know it was my mother who ordered me to do this..."

Prince Qi sneered: "Li, are you confused? Even if it is what mother wants, so what? Do you want me to go to father and explain it clearly, and then banish mother to the cold palace?"

Princess Qi was stunned and became more and more distraught.

That's not the case. She certainly didn't intend for her mother to be punished, but the prince's attitude clearly shouldn't be like this.

"Okay, just stay here and enjoy your life. You won't be deprived of food and drink."

Princess Qi couldn't bear to listen any longer and asked in a hoarse voice, "My Lord, I have been planning for you for so many years, and now you treat me like this?"

Prince Qi frowned and said coldly, "Li, it was my father's will that you be placed under house arrest. What do you want me to do?"

Princess Qi kept shaking her head: "It's not like that, it's not like that——"

Prince Qi sneered impatiently: "What are you making a fuss about? Do you want me to go against my father's wishes and let you be the mistress of Prince Qi's mansion?"

Princess Qi burst into tears and said with a sad smile: "Does Your Majesty really not understand? I don't have the ability of Princess Yan, and I lost to her, I accept it. The matter was exposed and I was punished by my father, I also accept it. But why can't you be nicer to me? Even if you can give me a little comfort in your words..."

She cried bitterly, looking at the man with a blurry and distorted face through her tears. She was desperate and in pain, but a glimmer of hope remained deep in her heart.

Give her a hug, say thank you for your hard work and the injustice you have endured, and she will accept it even if she has to live a half-human life from now on.

But Princess Qi was destined to be disappointed.

The man's expression became even colder as she accused him: "Li, don't keep saying you're doing this for me. Aren't you doing this for the queen's crown?"

Princess Qi was startled and her face turned pale.

Prince Qi stared at Princess Qi for a while and sighed, "Don't make a fuss. Except for a few maids and servants, no one will come to Youqian Hall. Even if you talk nonsense, no one will dare to spread it. You should be quiet and live longer. Maybe you can wait until Sister Yuan gets married."

Princess Qi's face changed drastically, and she said in a lost voice: "You, you are threatening me with Sister Yuan?"

The King of Qi said in a cold tone: "I am not threatening you with Sister Yuan, but reminding you. In short, you should think about it carefully. It is useless to make trouble. I am leaving, and I will not come here again unless it is necessary."

After Prince Qi finished speaking, he pushed Princess Qi's hand away, opened the door and walked out.

The sound of the door closing startled the distraught Princess Qi. She rushed to the door and tried to open it, but found that it had been locked from the outside.

"Open the door, open the door—"

When Prince Qi walked into the yard, he could still hear the heart-wrenching shouting, but he never looked back and walked quickly to the front yard.

The news that Princess Qi and Princess Yan encountered a frightened horse on their way back from burning incense spread throughout the capital in no time.

What? Princess Yan was fine, but Princess Qi nearly fell off a cliff and was so frightened that she lost her mind?

Why is there such a big difference when we are riding in the same carriage?

When the amount of money donated by the two princesses was known, the income of Baiyun Temple increased dramatically.
