Feng Yexuan's eyes held a trace of guilt.
But he still didn't admit his mistake.
"Li'er, I was just out of control..."
"Why?" His explanation was worse than no explanation at all, and Chu Qianli felt an immediate surge of grievance.
If he had her in his heart, why would he act like this?
"Kill her! Yexuan, I want you to kill her!" She never wanted to see that slut again, not even a glance!
Feng Yexuan lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao felt a flicker of unease. After all, everyone knew that the person Feng Yexuan cared about most was Chu Qianli.
But if he cared about Chu Qianli, why would he put on this act in front of her?
Feng Yexuan merely glanced at her, his gaze then settling back on Chu Qianli. "We'll discuss things tomorrow."
"You..." Chu Qianli never expected that instead of begging for her forgiveness, he would actually try to dismiss her.
"Jingri Wangyue."
With Feng Yexuan's call, Jingri Wangyue immediately entered.
Xiao Yao's shoulders were still bare, and she instinctively moved closer to Feng Yexuan.
Even though she knew she was a pawn tonight, a pawn still had dignity.
Jingri Wangyue approached Chu Qianli and said sternly, "The Prince wishes to rest. Your Majesty, please return."
"Yexuan, why are you treating me like this?"
Chu Qianli, also known as Yu Linglong, understood Feng Yexuan all too well.
Since he was unwilling to kill Xiao Yao now, it meant he wouldn't kill her even tomorrow.
Asking him to kill this slut, unless something else happened, was likely impossible.
Although she hated him to death, she still had a shred of reason.
Feng Yexuan wasn't entirely without feelings for her, otherwise, he would have already ordered her to be driven out.
"Yexuan, I traveled thousands of miles to be here for you. Why are you treating me like this?"
Feng Yexuan remained silent, but his expression seemed to hold a hint of guilt.
Looking at Xiao Yao again, he closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, but I don't wish to speak now. Li'er, you should go back. I'll find you tomorrow."
"Yexuan..."
"Your Majesty, please!"
Chu Qianli wanted to make a scene. She was truly too angry, too heartbroken.
But she also understood Feng Yexuan too well. Any further fuss would only make him more disgusted.
She knew that this woman named Xiao Yao was a slut, constantly seducing Feng Yexuan!
Had she finally succeeded?
This slut, she wouldn't let her revel in her triumph for long. She would definitely kill her!
As Chu Qianli left, her gaze towards Xiao Yao was filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Yao instinctively flinched.
Feng Yexuan's large hand landed on her shoulder, gently patting it as if to reassure her that he would protect her...
This was the last scene Chu Qianli witnessed before leaving.
Upon returning, she was so enraged that she smashed everything breakable in her room.
The young maidservant who came to clean up was also struck by her.
It was said that she was beaten to a bloody mess, and eventually carried away, her body likely discarded in some wilderness.
"Your Majesty, the remaining few maidservants were brought by you from Longteng Kingdom," Hong Chou couldn't help but remind her.
"And so what?" Chu Qianli turned her head and glared at her.
Seeing this, Hong Chou was startled and quickly went to close the door.
"Your Majesty's face..."
"Didn't you already know? What's so strange about it now?"
Her face, contorted by rage, was already unrecognizable.
Beneath the skin, faint blue veins pulsed, appearing like wriggling worms!
Even though Hong Chou had long known she wasn't the real Chu Qianli, and had even guessed there was something wrong with her face,
Seeing such a face still sent shivers down her spine, and she forgot to breathe.
That face was truly... truly terrifying!
