Chapter 1126 Coming to Blows, Princess Yuyan Got Slapped

Princess Yuyan and Chu Qing were hiding behind a tree not far away. Quietly, they watched Princess Yutao enter Chu Liuchen’s place and smiled proudly.

“I can’t believe my ‘brilliant’ Eldest Sister still fancies about battling for the throne with my Eldest Brother. At this critical time, she is entangled with Prince Chen. Even if Prince Chen has got married, so what? My Eldest Sister can be his consort!”

Princess Yuyan had sent for two officials who came here with them. As long as they saw Princess Yutao enter Prince Chen’s courtyard and not come out for a long time, the matter would be settled.

Though Princess Yutao was a princess of the Xu State, she would be degraded as a consort. Well, she asked for it — she chose to be with Prince Chen at this time, and no one knew what they were doing!

But the next moment, Princess Yuyan’s face changed greatly. She suddenly grabbed Chu Qing’s hand firmly in great surprise.

Princess Yutao had been thrown out!

Yes, she was tossed out before everyone. After that, Princess Yutao flipped twice or three times before she could stand up. Even so, she stepped a few steps back and finally stood firm.

Princess Yutao was good at martial arts. If it had been any other woman, she would have been either seriously injured or killed.

With several guards, Chu Liuchen came out of the yard step by step. Looking at him on alert, Princess Yutao was about to retreat at any time, and her face turned livid with fear. She asked, “Your Highness, what do you mean?”

“What are you up to? You came here in such a hurry. Don’t you have something to say?” Chu Liuchen stood still and asked kindly.

If he hadn’t just thrown Princess Yutao out, others would have thought Prince Chen was a refined gentleman.

“I do have something to say,” Princess Yutao said, walking inside in a great rage.

However, Chu Liuchen blocked her with his folding fan in his hand and said, “Princess Yutao, please tell me what you want!”

“You mean… here?” Princess Yutao was stunned and asked in astonishment. She looked around as if she couldn’t believe she was asked to talk outside the courtyard.

“It doesn’t matter if others hear us. Don’t you dare talk about it before others?” Chu Liuchen asked languishingly.

“You… Fine… fine…” Princess Yutao was furious, but maybe because of the pain from the hard tumble, she didn’t dare to move forward. Instead, she took a step back. “I’m here to ask you why you lied to us. You went back to the capital city on the sly. Why? Do you look down on Xu State? If so, I’ll take my Second Sister back and not allow her to marry Commandery Prince Qing!”

Princess Yutao threatened with her head held high.

Princess Yuyan, hiding behind the tree, suddenly had a bad feeling. After exchanging glances with Chu Qing, they rushed out together.

“Eldest Sister…” Princess Yuyan called out before she approached them.

Meanwhile, Chu Liuchen said leisurely, “Princess Yuyan and Commandery Prince Qing have done that thing together. Could she marry…”

“His Highness, I have something important to report!” Feeling that a disaster was imminent, Chu Qing hurriedly shouted and interrupted Chu Liuchen. How could he let Chu Liuchen reveal the matter between him and Princess Yuyan before so many people?

They had not reached an agreement on the marriage yet. Both Princess Yuyan and Chu Qing had their own ideas, so they wanted to cover up what had happened in the Xu State.

Especially since they had arrived in the capital, they had to be cautious at this critical time.

“Second Sister, why are you here? You pleaded with me to ask for an explanation from Prince Chen. Didn’t you say you were not feeling well?” Princess Yutao turned to Princess Yuyan behind her and asked in confusion.

Princess Yuyan was so angry that she gnashed her teeth secretly. It had not been easy for her to trick Princess Yutao, but now she had to come and help her out. Princess Yuyan was so aggrieved that she almost vomited blood.

“Eldest Sister, I thought it was inappropriate, so I came to find you in a hurry. We are about to enter the capital city of the Kingdom of Dongcang. At this time, we can’t let rumors about us go around. If you have to stay in the Kingdom of Dongcang because of these rumors, it will be my fault!” Princess Yuyan, pretending to worry about her sister, said and smiled apologetically.

Not far away, the other two envoys of the Xu State also appeared at the end of the road. They looked at Princess Yutao and then at Princess Yuyan. For a moment, they didn’t understand what was going on, so they carefully kept silent and watched aside. Second Princess said her Elder Sister and Prince Chen had an affair. Since the pair hadn’t seen each other for long, they must have been enjoying their romantic time together.

If Princess Yutao wanted to inherit the throne of the Xu State, she would have to marry a man from the Xu State. She was forbidden to get involved with any prince of the Kingdom of Dongcang. Otherwise, the Xu State might be destroyed.

The two officials did not hold high positions. Since they were neither on the side of Princess Yutao nor the First Prince, they belonged to the most neutral party with real power. At present, both Princess Yutao and the First Prince wanted to draw them over to their side. This time, they were asked to send Princess Yuyan to marry into the Kingdom of Dongcang and help Princess Yutao.

They would report everything they saw to the King of the Xu State. Since they were not partial to any side, they became the King’s most loyal subordinates, and Xu State King was most willing to listen to their advice.

“Oh, you picked up Princess Yutao to ask me questions. Were you hiding aside and eavesdropping with Commandery Prince Qing?” It was never easy to fool Chu Liuchen. And he continued, “I have nothing to hide. Whatever I can talk to Princess Yutao, I can share it with you. You can ask questions together!”

Princess Yuyan, flushing crimson up to her ears, still stuck to her story. “You must have misunderstood. I just met Commandery Prince Qing by chance!”

“Commandery Prince Qing, what a coincidence. Did you happen to be outside my courtyard?” Chu Liuchen raised the corner of his mouth and said with a sarcastic and sinister smile.

Chu Qing composed himself and said respectfully, “Your Highness, I’ve just received the news: Prince Yue will come to pick up the envoys tomorrow. I’m here to discuss it with you!”

He meant he indeed came here for a reason.

Chu Liuchen directed a meaningful look at Chu Qing, and his smile became increasingly unfathomable. Then he gently flicked his sleeves and said, “For this kind of thing, you can discuss it with General Qin. It’s not my business!”

After saying that, he ignored the crowd outside the courtyard and turned back. His guards followed him closely. When he reached the courtyard, he stopped before the gate with great dignity, his sharp and vigilant eyes landing on these people.

“Second Sister, are you sure you’re here to help me instead of bringing him, your future husband, to harm me?” Princess Yutao looked at Princess Yuyan with a sneer, her eyes ice-cold.

At first, Princess Yutao didn’t quite believe it, but when Princess Yuyan, Chu Qing, the two envoys with real power in the Xu State appeared together, how could she not understand it? Princess Yuyan wanted her to stay in the Kingdom of Dongcang and not return to the Xu State to compete for the throne. What a perfect plan she made!

“Eldest Sister, what are you talking about…” Princess Yuyan argued. After Chu Liuchen left, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was always good at dealing with Princess Yutao. Anyway, Princess Yutao had no evidence against her. She didn’t believe that Princess Yutao could do anything to her. For so many years, she had been competing with Princess Yutao and had never been put at a disadvantage with the help of her mother.

“Pa!” A heavy slap pushed Princess Yuyan two steps back. If Chu Qing had not helped her stand still, she would have almost fallen to the ground in embarrassment.

“Yutao, you… How dare you hit me?” Princess Yuyan covered her face with her hand and looked at Princess Yutao in disbelief. Even though Princess Yutao did well in martial arts, she would not dare to hit her so vehemently. After all, she was supported by her Eldest Brother and mother.

“Princess Yuyan, please behave yourself. You come here to get married as a princess of the Xu State. Even after you marry into the Kingdom of Dongcang, everything you do or say represents the image of our state. Without the support of your country, you will be useless. I hope you can see the reality clearly and put yourself in the right position. You will always and forever be Princess Yuyan of the Xu State, so never do anything that will disgrace the Xu State!”

Princess Yutao scolded harshly. After that, she turned around and strode away without looking at Princess Yuyan, whose eyes were full of tears. Since they were not in the Xu State, Princess Yuyan was no longer protected by her devilish mother, her biological brother, and Xu State King.

The two envoys of the Xu State looked at each other and nodded secretly. The future heir of the Xu State should indeed put the interests of the Xu State first. Princess Yuyan was too ignorant to understand that. It seemed that she and Commandery Prince Qing were so close. Could it be that she had already decided to seek benefits for the Kingdom of Dongcang?

From this point of view, the branch of First Prince might no longer be suitable to take the throne! They were determined to send a secret imperial edict to the King when they got back.

Seeing Princess Yutao walk away, the two envoys also turned to leave and overlooked Princess Yuyan, who felt wronged and wanted to say something with a pitiful look. Wasn’t her future husband accompanying her? Why should they care about her? For the sake of her future husband, Princess Yuyan even wanted to plot against her Eldest Sister. The two envoys were very dissatisfied with this.

“Bitch, I… I’m going to kill you!” Princess Yuyan watched Princess Yutao’s receding figure; her stare was malevolent. Knowing she couldn’t defeat her at this time, Princess Yuyan was full of hatred and anger. Finally, she realized that her supporting power became invalid outside the Xu State.

She turned to Chu Qing standing nearby, gnashed her teeth furiously, and swore at him, “Trash!”

After scolding him, she stamped her feet angrily and pushed Chu Qing away. As she strode off, she secretly made a decision. Even though she had to marry into the Kingdom of Dongcang, she would never marry Chu Qing, a good-for-nothing. Princess Yutao slapped her before so many people, but this pathetic man said and did nothing for her. It was funny that her mother said Chu Qing was also a good choice. At least he was of imperial lineage and had the pure blood of the royal family in the previous dynasty.

The royal family of the previous dynasty? She was the daughter of the distinguished Xu State King, while Chu Qing was merely a royal descendant of the long-gone dynasty. No matter what, she would not marry Chu Qing. She had to find herself another husband.

Chu Liuchen was unavailable, but there were several other princes, weren’t there? She had found out that the other princes were not married. In that case, she still had a chance, right?

Chu Qing looked at Princess Yutao’s back coldly. He also felt reluctant to marry this woman, but he had to do so for a reason. In the very beginning, he just conspired with her to scheme against Princess Yutao and Chu Liuchen. Unexpectedly, he was tricked instead! He had a wife. Likewise, he married her for a reason…
