The thought only flashed through Prince Yi's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
If Qian Youxue had such a heavenly face before, why would she have been humiliated by the world? Besides, why would she give up the position of Crown Princess? Unless she is really a fool.
Now that Qian Youxue speaks clearly, she doesn't seem like a fool at all.
"Your Highness, you are too weak. The doctor said you need to rest more." Qian Youxue interrupted Prince Yi's thoughts by showing affection, and also wondered if she should tell someone about this, so that if she were to be exposed one day, no one would be there to clean up the mess for her.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. You both heard me, but my health is not suitable for receiving guests." Xuan Mingye hated the way the two of them looked at Qian Youxue. If it were any other man, he would have gouged out their eyes long ago.
Qian Youxue saw the regret flash across the Crown Prince's eyes. She knew he would definitely go to the Qian residence after leaving and give his adoptive father a good scolding. In that case, she would have achieved her goal for today.
"I don't know when my leg will recover. The doctor advised me to massage it more, so I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness. Uncle Cai, see the guests out!" Before leaving, Xuan Mingye couldn't resist showing off one last time. Seeing the jealousy in the eyes of the Crown Prince and Prince Yi, he was in a very good mood.
Watching helplessly as the good-for-nothing led the celestial beauty Qian Youxue out of the house, both the Crown Prince and Prince Yi couldn't help but take a few steps toward the door, making no attempt to hide their reluctance.
Seeing the hateful looks in the eyes of the two princes, Uncle Cai stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "This servant will see the two princes out."
snort!
The crown prince snorted and flung his sleeves as he left the room. Being driven away by a servant was unpleasant for anyone.
After leaving the Prince of Zhan's residence, Prince Yi also wore a dark expression. Standing at the door, he turned his head to glance at the plaque hanging high and spat in disgust.
The Crown Prince, however, being more astute, asked, "Do you think this was something Qian Sheng did intentionally?"
"Are you saying that Qian Sheng has already decided which side he wants to stand on?" Prince Yi asked, following the Crown Prince's train of thought.
The Crown Prince nodded repeatedly, angrily cursing, "That old fox Qian Sheng! No wonder Mother insisted that I marry Qian Youxue. Mother was truly wise!"
What good is being wise?
You still insist on competing with me for Qian Muxue?
While thinking this to himself, Prince Yi comforted the Crown Prince, saying, "Perhaps it's true what the sixth prince said; those marks on Qian Youxue's face are just from poisoning, and she was cured by a skilled doctor."
The Crown Prince rolled his eyes at Prince Yi and said disdainfully, "Only someone with a brain like yours would believe Sixth Prince's nonsense! Anyway, I don't believe it. Let's go to the Prime Minister's residence. I want to see what Qian Sheng has to say."
If there's a show to watch, Prince Yi certainly won't refuse. As long as his elder brother, the Crown Prince, is around, his mother's heart will never be with him; he's well aware of that.
Behind the gate, Leng Xue overheard the entire conversation between the two men. After they had completely left, he ordered his servants to follow them out. He then returned to his master's side and reported what he had heard.
Hahaha……
Qian Youxue laughed happily, then secretly glanced at Xuan Mingye. Ever since she returned to the house, this devilish man's gaze towards her had been somewhat strange.
"Have someone keep an eye on them, everyone get out!" Xuan Mingye waved his hand and took a sip of tea.
Yunhe glanced at Qian Youxue, and seeing Qian Youxue nod, she followed Leng Xue out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"Speak, what are you hiding from me about your relationship with Prince Yi?" Xuan Mingye was a man whose every move could not escape his sharp eyes.
All right!
Qian Youxue admitted that the mind-reading ability of that certain demon was truly amazing, so she recounted in detail the incident of stealing medicine from the palace that day.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mingye's handsome face contorted in disgust. Qian Youxue assumed his expression was so unpleasant because he found Prince Yi's tastes repulsive, so she deliberately remarked, "The dignified Prince Yi, who would have thought he's such a lecher! Those poor women, their bodies were probably dumped there."
To his surprise, Xuan Mingye's focus wasn't on the pitiful women at all, but on something else entirely. Raising his eyes, he demanded sharply, "Tell me, which hand did he use to grab you?"
Well……
Shouldn't he be asking where those women who suffered such humiliation are being held?
Qian Youxue was momentarily stunned, then, bewildered, raised her hands and replied, "It should be my right hand. That bastard was incredibly strong after drinking. I hadn't started cultivating yet, and he pulled so hard my hand was bruised. Luckily, I had the medicine Wu Xie gave me, otherwise..."
If something were to happen, the consequences would be unimaginable. Perhaps, he would become a corpse in a mass grave, just like those women.
It was Wu Xie who saved her from a great calamity!
Xuan Mingye had some doubts. Could Qian Youxue's alchemist be this Wuxie Sect member? Recalling their first meeting, if Qian Youxue hadn't fed him that herb, the mutation in his body would probably have kept him from recovering for at least half a year, making him even less able to face enemy ambushes afterward.
However, Prince Yi's cultivation level was not low. If Prince Yi hadn't drunk alcohol that day, even if Qian Youxue had medicine on her, she might not have been able to escape. Thinking of how she appeared alone in the palace during such a dangerous time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Alright, I'm going back now. I've been busy dealing with these people from the Prince's Mansion these past few days, which has delayed my training time." Qian Youxue noticed that someone's gaze was becoming more and more intense, and fearing that she would get into unnecessary trouble again, she simply made a quick getaway.
Xuan Mingye stared dangerously at Qian Youxue as she left, then called Leng Xue in.
"What are your orders, Master?" Leng Xue cupped his hands in greeting.
“I heard that Prince Yi has a manor outside the city, full of beautiful flowers and lush pavilions. If such a beautiful place is destroyed, do you think he would feel bad?” A murderous glint flashed in Xuan Mingye’s eyes. After a pause, he instructed, “There may be many weak women imprisoned inside. Release them if you encounter them.”
Rescue? A frail woman?
Leng Xue thought he had misheard and looked up at his master.
"The following is the Princess's intention!" Xuan Mingye realized he had been meddling and added.
Leng Xue wondered when their master had become so merciful. He always dealt with enemies by annihilating them completely. So it was the princess's idea; that made all the difference. Women, after all, are mostly all bark and no bite.
As he turned around, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to report, "Master, a report just came from below that the Bat Assassin has appeared in Wu City."
"Go and find out why they came. It's time to settle the score from last time." Xuan Mingye hadn't forgotten the night he was chased and killed, and the poison attack almost killed him.
