Wild Princess: Marrying an Ugly Prince

Chapter 233 A Quarrel in a Critical Condition

Chapter 233 A Quarrel in a Critical Condition

Jun Yeyan left with Bai Aoxue without any obstruction on the way.

And they didn’t care about what would happen in the Imperial Palace after they left.

Whatever happened, it was none of his business. If this issue was escalated to the state level, he wouldn’t care about it at all, either.

After all, Jun Wuhen was still on the throne at this moment, and if this issue was really escalated to the state level, he would be responsible for it.

After Jun Yeyan left with Bai Aoxue over here, the atmosphere in the banquet hall could only be described as gloomy.

Watching Bai Aoxue leave arrogantly, the empress on the high seat had nothing to do to stop her.

She knew clearly in her mind what Jun Yeyan meant by saying that just now. It was his warning to her!

But she didn’t expect that a prince without any power dared to satirize and warn her like this in front of so many people!

Thinking of that, the empress on the high seat showed a ferocious look like a ghost demanding people’s lives, making all the people tremble with fear.

The empress felt a little aggrieved and angry. She turned around to the emperor beside her and grasped his hands tightly. She said, “Emperor, you see... You see... The 5th prince of Chengxi Dynasty was so arrogant! He didn’t care about us at all!”

Seeing the empress beside him like this, the emperor was a little embarrassed in his mind. He wanted to say something, but Qi Liange interrupted him.

“It’s enough! Our banquet is to show our warm welcome to the envoys of the Nanyue Dynasty today. But now my queen mother has made us humiliated by doing so! I really feel great shame!” Qi Liange said when coldly looking at the empress on the high seat after he stood up suddenly from his seat.

The tenderness in his eyes had already disappeared, and the storm was already brewing.

Being shocked by Qi Liange’s reaction, the empress could say nothing for a while.

“Now the banquet for today is over. I hope such a thing will not happen again in the future. If you make my distinguished guests feel embarrassed, I will not forgive you so easily as today no matter who you are!” Qi Liange said solemnly with his eyes glancing at all the people coldly.

“Father, you must feel tired. Somebody! Send my father to go back for a rest!” Qi Liange looked at the little eunuch beside him and ordered lightly without anything wrong.

On hearing Qi Liange say so, all the officials present were surprisingly silent, and nobody dared to dissent.

Qi Liange didn’t pay attention to the people present anymore. He tossed his sleeves and left the banquet hall with long strides.

“By the way, you go to put away the painting which was drawn just now and send it to the mansion of the crown prince.” Qi Liange looked at Suxiao beside him and ordered lightly.

On hearing that, Suxiao shivered slightly but still answered reverently.

And Qi Muyuan closely followed Qi Liange as well.

“Brother, will you go to find Aoxue?” Qi Muyuan caught up with Qi Liange and asked with concern.

Bai Aoxue must have some enmity towards Qi Liange because of what happened today, and now the relationship between Bai Aoxue and Qi Liange would never be as close as before.

“What?” Qi Liange turned to look at Qi Muyuan and said.

Seeing that Qi Liange was not depressed or nervous, Qi Muyuan was relieved a lot.

“Nothing! I thought that you would go with me. Aoxue just said that I could go to see her after the banquet was over.” Qi Muyuan said happily.

On hearing that, Qi Liange smiled lightly and said, “You can go ahead, but I still have something to deal with.”

On hearing Qi Liange say so, Qi Muyuan’s smile which was originally brilliant froze on her face immediately, and she looked at Qi Liange with difficulty and said, “Brother..., do you...”

Qi Muyuan was interrupted by Qi Liange before she could finish her words.

“I have a sense of propriety, and you just go ahead.” Qi Liange stopped smiling and said indifferently.

Watching Qi Liange like this, Qi Muyuan knew that it was useless for her to say anything. Because as long as his brother showed such an expression, it meant that he had made up his mind.

Anyone or anything couldn’t prevent his determination.

“Well, then you should be careful.” Qi Muyuan said and looked at Qi Liange anxiously.

Qi Liange nodded. Watching Qi Muyuan’s view of back fading away, he was lost in thought.

Qi Liange turned around slowly until Qi Muyuan’s view of back was absent in his sight, and then he walked away in the opposite direction.

I had intended to let you live for several more days, but now you came to court death like this, so no one was to blame!

His originally tender, clear, and bright peach-blossom-like eyes were filled with coldness at this moment.

While the empress didn’t leave with the emperor of the Nanyue Dynasty after the banquet was over.

Instead, she came to the Eastern Palace of the crown prince with her men.

“All of you, go away!” The empress’s voice appeared to be sharper in the silent palace.

The maids and eunuchs who originally followed her mostly shivered and left without a trace of lingering.

“Qi Liange! How dare you! You have grown up! And you even dared to refute me! Since I could help you ascend the throne, I can destroy you easily as well!” The empress shouted angrily.

It seemed that what Qi Liange had just said in the banquet hall was a sharp sword stung in her heart.

The empress who was in a state of rage at this moment said to herself, not realizing that there was another person present in the palace where there was only her originally!

“You dared to humiliate me like this today! I promise that I will let you all repay as twice as much!” The empress said angrily, sweeping all the things on the table away.

“Bai Aoxue... Jun Yeyan... Qi Liange! I will not let any of you have an easy time!” The empress said while looking at the front with her malicious eyes. She obviously didn’t realize that someone was behind her.

“Oh... I am wondering what you will do to make it, my queen mother!” A male’s voice with some warmness sounded in the ears of the empress like a spring breeze stroking the face.

But the words were slightly scornful.

On hearing the voice, the empress shivered out of shock and turned around quickly to see who was behind her.

“You... You... When did you come in?” The empress pointed at Qi Liange behind her and said in shock.

“Ho... When did I come in? I came in when you said that you would not let me have an easy time.” Qi Liange smiled with the corners of his mouth upward and said with some disdain in his peach-blossom-like eyes.

“Humph! I haven’t come to you while you came to me first! Qi Liange, you are so ungrateful! Don’t you remember how I helped you before? But now, you treated me like this just for the sake of the little bitch, Bai Aoxue!” The empress said when she pointed at Qi Liange angrily.

Hearing the empress’s words, Qi Liange smiled lightly and said, “Queen mother, you are right! I am thoughtless today for doing so, and I wish your forgiveness.”

The empress’s face softened a lot after hearing Qi Liange’s words.

“Humph! Then, you have realized your mistakes for today!” The empress said when looking at Qi Liange complacently.

“I have realized my mistakes already. I wouldn’t have let you participate in the banquet if I had known that you would do such stupid things today!” Qi Liange looked at the licentious smile of the empress and said disdainfully.

The empress didn’t expect that Qi Liange would say that. She said angrily while looking at Qi Liange in shock, “What did you say? Dare you say that once more?”

Watching such an exasperated woman before him, Qi Liange’s smile had disappeared totally.

“You really think that I am afraid of you? After so many years, you think I am still the man as before, who is unable to strike back? I can keep you on your high horse just for the sake of the overall situation.” Qi Liange said coldly while looking at the empress indifferently.

The empress obviously didn’t expect such a situation, and she even did not expect that Qi Liange was out of her control!

Looking up at the indifferent expression of Qi Liange at this moment, the empress was in a trance. Just after such a short time, the boy in front of her was out of her control!

She still remembered that the boy was once lovable and obedient, and he would do whatever she said. However, at this moment, he had been full-fledged in her slack or her unconsciousness.

He already had the ability to match her, but she did not realize it at all.

“Qi Liange, you think that you can contend against me after you ascend the throne? Don’t forget that you could never ascend the throne without the help of the Liu family!” The empress said while looking at Qi Liange exasperatedly.

But she had a trance in her eyes, which even she was not clear about.

Hearing the words of the empress, Qi Liange sneered coldly and said, “You really think that the Liu family is so powerful and dictatorial? If so, I will let you live for several more days, and you can see by yourself how the Liu family will decline.”

On hearing what Qi Liange said, the face of the empress was distorted. She looked at Qi Liange and said, “What are you going to do? You’d better remember that your current achievement is made with the help of the Liu family! Will you be an ungrateful person?”

On hearing what the empress said, Qi Liange sneered with extreme anger as if he had heard about a colossal absurdity. He said while looking at the empress, “I have never forgotten your family and what you did to my queen mother in those days! I bear any of these things in my mind. Now, I am only going to return what you have done to you double!”

After hearing the words of Qi Liange, the empress took a few steps back alarmedly with her eyes opened wide. She stared at Qi Liange incredibly.

“You... What do you know?” The empress asked alarmedly while pointing at Qi Liange.

Seeing the empress’s expression, Qi Liange had some feelings of revenge in his mind.

“I know what I should know as well as what I shouldn’t know. You’ve been able to sleep safely and soundly through the years, but have you ever thought of the people who were killed by the Liu family, crying in your ears every night?”

Looking at the empress sharply, some determination had been made in the mind of Qi Liange.

The empress was absent-minded for a while on hearing the words of Qi Liange, and after a long time, she cried out.

“No! No! It’s not possible! They have been dead, and they will never come to me!”

Seeing that the empress was so insane at this moment, Qi Liange didn’t show any sympathy for her in his eyes at all.

“Keep an eye on her during these several days when I am prepared to ascend the throng. Don’t let her contact with anyone in the outside world.” Qi Liange ordered lightly.

And it was unknown when the man in black appeared behind him. He asked wonderingly, “Crown prince, why don’t we kill this evil woman now?”

Hearing the words of the man in black, Qi Liange shook his head slightly and said, “It is too lucky and kind for her to be killed now. I will let her see how the Liu family will decline and bury her with my father.”

On hearing the words of Qi Liange, the empress who was originally maniac shivered out of shock and then rushed to Qi Liange hurriedly, rolling and crawling.

“Liange, please don’t treat me like that! Please, I beg you! I promise that I will listen to you wholeheartedly in the future!”

However, Qi Liange turned a deaf ear to the empress’s begging for mercy and left the palace quickly.

No matter how the empress begged for mercy, he was still indifferent.
