Chapter 209 The Mad Princess
Chapter 209 The Mad Princess
She didn't even deign to glance at the people standing before her. Princess Mingyue straightened her posture, her eyes turning cold: "Do you still remember that I am a princess? With this attitude, are you trying to commit insubordination?"
Knowing his own identity, and with Princess Mingyue revealing her status, Qi Nuo had no choice but to kneel down. However, even when kneeling, he stood in front of Zhai Yun to block her view.
Now that the prince is not here, Zhai Yun understands that in Princess Mingyue's eyes they are nothing but ants. She is the princess, and as long as she gives an order, no one present will dare to disobey.
Unless they want to rebel.
Princess Mingyue, her face dark, didn't look at anyone present and directly ordered, "Guards, drag her out and beat her."
This is the Prince Rui's residence. Princess Mingyue came alone, and she couldn't command the people in the Prince Rui's residence.
Princess Mingyue looked at the motionless people present without any panic, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips: "I am the future empress of Xuanyuan Kingdom and a great contributor to maintaining peace between the two countries. If you are so disobedient, do you believe that I will go back and tell my father?"
After Princess Mingyue finished speaking, as if she had already planned it, her fair and delicate fingers slowly tore open the clothes in front of her chest, revealing her skin inch by inch. "Tell me, if I were to be humiliated in Prince Rui's mansion today, would my father side with you ants?"
Seeing the spring scenery slowly revealed on her chest, Zhai Yun seemed to understand Princess Mingyue's intention.
She didn't want to marry into the Xuanyuan Kingdom. All she had to do now was remove her clothes, and her goal would be achieved. Her reputation would be tarnished, and Emperor Xin'an would have no face to marry her off to him.
However, if that were the case, everyone present today, including Prince Rui who was not present, would be torn to pieces and despised by the world.
"Wait," Zhai Yun said, stopping them.
Princess Mingyue only had the idea of having Zhai Yun marry her, instead of a marriage alliance, because she heard that she had been appointed as the Grand General of the Border Defense. "Princess Mingyue, your status is noble, while I am just a commoner. Even if I were willing to marry you, your father would not agree to you marrying a commoner."
"The imperial decree of my father's investiture will arrive soon. If you agree, I will spare everyone here. I am willing to consummate our relationship, and my father will not do anything to you." Princess Mingyue stopped what she was doing, her eyes blazing with hope.
She truly loves Zhai Yun, and if he is willing to marry her, she will protect him.
"Princess, you may not know, but the reason why the Prince is not in the manor is because he has intercepted the imperial decree and gone to the palace to ask the Emperor to cancel the title. So I am still just a commoner." Zhai Yun knew that this reason was not sufficient, but at this moment she could only try to delay.
"How could that be?" Princess Mingyue was somewhat incredulous, but she quickly stopped caring. She looked at Zhai Yun with bright eyes and said, "Actually, as long as it's you, whether you have an official position or not doesn't matter that much. As long as we become a true couple, you will still be the prince consort."
On the competition field, Zhai Yun's heroic figure lingered in her mind. He was skilled in martial arts, courageous and responsible, and far superior to those nobles who only knew how to hide at home.
Even if she weren't forced by circumstances, Princess Mingyue would only want someone like him. She felt that Zhai Yun was destined for great things.
Looking at Princess Mingyue, who was almost insane, Zhai Yun had a bad feeling.
Princess Mingyue came alone today, she must be determined to get what she wants. If Zhai Yun continues to disagree, she will really give up.
Indeed, just as Zhai Yun hesitated, Princess Mingyue resolutely pulled open her clothes, revealing a corner of her fair and plump body.
Her eyes held a resolute determination to fight to the death and glistening water droplets.
The servants and maids kneeling on the ground in Prince Rui's mansion were terrified, their heads buried in the ground. Even Qi Nuo, who was kneeling in front of Zhai Yun, did not dare to raise his head.
In this situation, anyone who even glances at it, before they can even take responsibility for Princess Mingyue, will likely be implicated in Emperor Xing'an's wrath and have their entire family executed.
Not wanting anyone in the household to be implicated, Zhai Yun quickly took off her outer robe and wrapped it around Princess Mingyue, not daring to look at her.
“Princess Mingyue, please think it over. Since Emperor Xing’an has already arranged for you to marry into a foreign land, he will certainly not allow anyone to ruin your reputation. If your reputation is damaged, even if we had ten heads, it wouldn’t be enough to atone for it,” Zhai Yun tried to persuade her.
He brought up Emperor Xing'an to let her know the consequences of her actions, saying, "Even if you achieve your goal, Princess, you will likely lose Emperor Xing'an's favor, and your future will be..."
Zhai Yun hadn't planned to say anything more, but she hadn't expected that her earlier words would have already angered Princess Mingyue.
Princess Mingyue smiled through her tears, almost in despair: "Do you think I don't know? From ancient times to the present, which princess who was sent to a foreign land for a political marriage has ever had a good ending? In Fengli Kingdom, at least I still have a chance to turn my life around. But in Xuanyuan Kingdom, I can only cry out to heaven and earth in vain. That would be worse than death!"
After saying this, Princess Mingyue continued, as if venting her resentment, "Xuanyuan Che's harem is full, and every concubine comes from a noble family. He himself has no interest in her, and if I go there, I will only suffer more!"
She finished speaking slowly, and her gradually lifeless eyes slowly focused on Zhai Yun. Looking at Zhai Yun, who was so close to her, she suddenly smiled slyly.
She looked at Zhai Yun, who was very close to her but dared not look her in the eye, her eyes full of mockery. Her fair hand then caressed Zhai Yun's face, and her rosy lips were about to come close.
Only when she felt a powerful aura approaching did Zhai Yun dare to look up at Princess Mingyue.
Upon seeing this, Zhai Yun was so frightened that she fell backward. Princess Mingyue's lips were almost touching Zhai Yun's lips, and Zhai Yun was truly terrified.
Princess Mingyue, who had missed her target, saw Zhai Yun being caught steadily by Qinuo and was about to step forward again. Qinuo, holding Zhai Yun, shrank back. Qinuo, who had been afraid to look at Princess Mingyue, was now also watching her warily.
Zhai Yun was so frightened that she shrank back. Although she shrank back, it looked more like she was shrinking into Qi Nuo's arms because Qi Nuo was behind her.
She had never seen such a crazy woman, willing to risk everything and ruin her reputation in front of everyone.
Just as Zhai Yun had nowhere to retreat and Princess Mingyue's evil claws were about to touch her, Princess Mingyue closed her eyes and fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Behind her stood Yan Nanheng, holding a hand knife.
Looking at the unconscious Princess Mingyue, Zhai Yun was stunned for a long time. She had only participated in a competition, and she had attracted such a terrifying person. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.
Yan Nanheng looked at the people who were terrified and kneeling on the ground, and suddenly couldn't understand how these mortals could be so frightened by a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.
Zhai Yun belatedly got up from Qi Nuo's arms, looked at Princess Mingyue lying motionless on the ground, and asked in a panic, "What do we do now?"
