Chapter 91 Past Events: Schemes Among Newlyweds
The Eastern Palace.
Today is the day Qian Yueshu enters the Eastern Palace as a concubine.
The Jinping Pavilion, a corner of the East Palace, was decorated with extreme luxury. Red silk was rolled up, and the character "囍" (double happiness) filled the windows. Even the air was filled with the fragrance of ambergris and the sweet scent of warmth from the Hundred Sons Tent.
But it should have been their wedding night.
Crown Prince Xiao Qingxuan spoke to Qian Yueshu in a very cold tone: "Even if you used despicable means to enter the Eastern Palace first, I will not consummate the marriage with you. Only after Liu Yu becomes the true Crown Princess will I..."
He didn't continue speaking.
But the meaning was already very clear: "Even if you enter the Eastern Palace first, I will not allow you to have the advantage of proximity!"
Despicable tactics?
Qian Yueshu was so angry she laughed.
From an outsider's perspective
It was indeed Qian Yueshu who drugged her, which enabled her to take the lead in entering the Eastern Palace.
But who is really that much cleaner than whom?
Is His Highness the Crown Prince truly entirely innocent?
If the Crown Prince and his faction hadn't coveted the Qian family's wealth, how could she have succeeded?
If you truly love Liu Yu.
Don't take her virginity at the Qian residence that day, and don't be intimate with her.
Even if Xiao Qingxuan was drugged.
Doesn't the Crown Prince have people protecting him?
Were those guards and assassins dead?
Isn't it because they can't bear to part with the Qian family's wealth?
Deeply in love with Liu Yu?
It's all for money; they willingly let her scheme against them.
Now the die is cast.
He poured all the blame on her alone, trampling her devoted love into nothingness!
On what grounds?
Qian Yueshu refused to accept this.
The more unattainable something is, the more you want it.
Since you, Xiao Qingxuan, keep saying you love Liu Yu.
Then I'll just have to be a bad woman.
I will not only destroy your true love, but I will also ensure that Liu Yu can never enter the Eastern Palace in this lifetime!
at this time.
Qian Yueshu's heart was already like a volcano erupting, her internal organs burning with intense pain from anger, grievance, and resentment.
But she gritted her teeth.
Don't lose your composure!
Absolutely not!
This is the Eastern Palace, where countless eyes are watching from the shadows.
Tonight is her first night in the palace.
If word gets out that the Crown Prince stormed off, leaving the concubine alone in her empty chamber.
Tomorrow, Qian Yueshu will become the biggest laughing stock in the entire palace and even the entire capital!
She couldn't let herself, or the entire Qian family, become the subject of gossip.
We absolutely cannot let Liu Yu, that rival in love, get away with it!
Qian Yueshu forced a smile, stood up, and walked calmly to the rosewood round table.
On the table.
The golden cup and jade pot, symbolizing the wedding ceremony, had already been prepared.
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. It's all my fault for loving you too much..." Her voice was gentle, without a trace of anger: "Even if we don't consummate our marriage, we should still drink the nuptial wine. If Your Highness doesn't drink it, I will become a laughingstock."
She picked up a glass of wine, her pale fingers holding the crimson-gold glass, and offered it to him.
Xiao Qingxuan's sharp gaze lingered on Qian Yueshu's face for a moment.
He knew that many noble ladies in the capital admired him.
It's not her fault.
Who can blame them for being outstanding and so likable!
But what other noble ladies are as bold as her?
Qian Yueshu is really lacking in manners...
Even if one doesn't understand etiquette.
After all, she was his concubine, and he still needed the Qian family's wealth!
So Xiao Qingxuan compromised.
He snorted coldly, but still accepted the wine glass.
Their fingertips inevitably touched for a moment.
He immediately moved away in disgust, as if he had touched something dirty.
The two men intertwined their arms and each drank the wine in their cups.
The wine was finished, and the cup fell to the ground.
Xiao Qingxuan was unwilling to stay any longer and turned to leave.
That resolute back view made it seem as if staying even a moment longer would tarnish his innocence.
"Your Highness!" Qian Yueshu's voice trembled with a hint of tears.
Xiao Qingxuan paused, but didn't turn around. However, his tone still softened slightly: "Is there anything else?"
Qian Yueshu quickly stepped forward and blocked his path once again.
She looked up, revealing the vulnerability and helplessness of a newlywed: "Your Highness... even if Your Highness is unwilling to consummate the marriage with me... please talk to me for a while. Even if... just for a little while."
Her voice was soft, trembling with sobs: "I have just entered the Eastern Palace, and my heart is filled with fear and unease. I only ask for Your Highness's tenderness for a moment, so that I may feel a little more at ease."
Xiao Qingxuan frowned as he looked at her.
The woman before me.
With her cloud-like hair, flower-like face, and glistening tears, she certainly possessed a pitiful and endearing appearance.
If she hadn't resorted to those despicable tactics, he might have felt a pang of pity for her pitiful appearance.
But now, thinking of the despicable methods she and her family used...
Thinking of Liu Yu, who had suffered a tremendous injustice!
Xiao Qingxuan wanted to leave.
Can……
Perhaps it was the effects of the wine from the wedding night that were starting to take hold, or perhaps it was the warm incense in the palace that made it feel so cozy.
He felt a strange heat rising in his body, and his head was slightly dizzy.
At this moment, Qian Yueshu's tears fell again.
Xiao Qingxuan felt a pang of sympathy when he saw her crying, and patiently sat down again.
But he was far away from Qian Yueshu, leaning against a rosewood chair by the window.
When Qian Yueshu saw him stay, a complex light flashed across her eyes, as if she was relieved, but also more nervous.
The two chatted casually.
Soon, Xiao Qingxuan realized that the strange sensation in his body not only did not subside, but became stronger and stronger.
The heat was no longer a pleasant, slightly intoxicating warmth, but had transformed into waves of something indescribable…
Just like that day at the Qian residence?
Then Xiao Qingxuan thought of how she looked beneath him that day.
His breathing became rapid at some point, his chest rose and fell slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Something's not right!
He suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as lightning, fixed on Qian Yueshu, who was still smiling and chatting across from him.
Qian Yueshu, who had looked pitiful, now had a triumphant smile on her lips.
Was it that cup of wine used for the wedding ceremony? Or... this room full of incense?
Or perhaps, both?
“You…” He tried to stand up, but his legs went weak. The evil fire in his body burned even more fiercely, almost burning away his remaining reason.
He braced himself on the table with one hand, veins bulging on the back of his hand, his eyes so sharp they seemed to want to tear her to pieces. "Qian Yueshu! How dare you... how dare you drug me again?!"
This woman is so ruthless in achieving her goals!
One calculation wasn't enough.
Now you're plotting against me again?
Just then, Qian Yueshu slowly got up and walked towards him with light steps.
Her eyes were glistening with tears, and her cheeks were flushed; clearly, the medicine was beginning to take effect.
She was wearing only a thin red bodice, with large areas of skin exposed, shimmering alluringly in the candlelight.
"Your Highness..." Her voice was soft and seductive, like a poison coated in honey.
The prince tried to retreat, but found that his feet were nailed to the spot.
what to do?
He was thinking about leaving.
But my body honestly wants to relive the craziness of last time.
