Chapter 455 Female Lead, I'd Give You My Life 7
The Eastern Palace, the first rays of dawn.
When Qingmo woke up, the Crown Prince beside her had already gotten up. She lazily propped herself up, and the brocade quilt slipped down, revealing ambiguous red marks on her shoulders and neck.
"woke up?"
Ying Qian turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He was already dressed neatly, and the black brocade robe made him appear even more noble and aloof.
Qingmo blinked, then lowered her head shyly, saying, "Your Highness got up very early."
Ying Qian approached and gently lifted her chin with his slender fingers: "You worked hard last night, Crown Princess."
Qingmo's ears turned slightly red, but she secretly chuckled to herself—this prince is quite the charmer.
After having breakfast, the two went to pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress.
The emperor and empress were extremely pleased to see the two of them so loving, as long as the crown prince wasn't gay.
The emperor and empress bestowed a great many rewards upon them, and after expressing their gratitude, the two returned to the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Prince had other matters to attend to, so he left first.
After Ying Qian left, Qingmo's shyness vanished instantly, replaced by a playful smile.
She already knew what had happened between Wei Xuanling and Jiang Wanyue from the comments.
She leaned against the soft couch, her fingertips gently toying with the teacup, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
[The female lead's expression...she's about to cause trouble!]
Has the Crown Princess turned evil?
A man who doesn't respect himself is like rotten cabbage.
She called softly, "Jinzhu."
The personal maid immediately stepped forward: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Qingmo smiled slightly: "Have someone investigate where Prince Wei and the Second Miss spent the night last night."
Jinzhu was taken aback, then lowered her head and replied, "Yes."
[Wow, the female lead's intelligence network is that fast?!]
What are they trying to do?!
The residence of the Marquis of Xuanping.
After returning to his residence, Wei Xuanling went straight to the training ground, swinging his sword wildly as if to vent all his resentment.
"Young Master, the Marquis requests your presence," the servant reported tremblingly.
Wei Xuanling sheathed his sword with a cold face and strode towards the study.
Seeing his appearance, Marquis Xuanping slammed his fist on the table: "Where did you go last night?!"
Wei Xuanling frowned and said coldly, "I drank too much last night and spent the night outside."
Marquis Xuanping was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at his face: "Do you know that the Jiang family sent someone to ask if Jiang Wanyue has returned home all night?! What kind of outrageous thing have you done?!"
Wei Xuanling's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "She deliberately seduced me while I was drunk!"
Just then, a servant came to report: "My lord, the rumors outside are rampant, saying... saying..."
The servant was dawdling, which angered Lord Wei, who smashed a teacup at him.
"What are you saying? Can't you even speak properly anymore? Useless."
The servant trembled with fear and knelt on the ground, his voice shaking as he said, "They say the young master and Miss Jiang were caught doing something illicit at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion last night..."
"what?!"
Marquis Xuanping suddenly stood up, his face ashen.
Wei Xuanling's pupils also contracted sharply, and he clenched his fists.
"Who spread the rumors?" Wei Xuanling's voice was as cold as ice.
The servant boy pressed his forehead to the ground: "Now the whole capital is buzzing with rumors... saying that the young master and Miss Jiang couldn't control their feelings and... in a private room at a restaurant..."
"You bastard!" Marquis Xuanping kicked over the table.
"My family's century-old reputation has been ruined in an instant!"
Wei Xuanling's face was terribly gloomy.
He had clearly warned his subordinates: Who would dare to spread this message?
Just then, the steward rushed over: "My lord! People from the Jiang family have arrived. They say that Miss Jiang the Second attempted suicide by hanging herself this morning after returning to the manor, but she was rescued!"
Wei Xuanling's vision went black.
Holy crap, the female supporting character is going all out?!
This is practically forcing me into marriage!
The male protagonist was completely outmaneuvered.
Marquis Xuanping slumped back into his chair and sighed, "Forget it... let's move this marriage forward."
Wei Xuanling suddenly looked up: "Father!"
"Shut up!" Marquis Xuanping roared.
"Now the whole capital knows about your affair. Do you want the second young lady of the Jiang family to die?"
"Our Marquis's mansion cannot afford to lose face like this!"
Wei Xuanling clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.
He suddenly understood—
All of this was designed by Jiang Wanyue!
From sowing discord between him and Jiang Fu, to getting engaged to him, and now losing her virginity, every step was a calculated scheme.
Just so she could marry him.
What a wonderful Jiang Wanyue!
It's too late, the deed is done.
[But this female supporting character is truly wronged!]
[It was clearly the male lead who deliberately approached the female supporting character to spite the female lead, but now everything is being blamed on her.]
[Sigh! It's over, it's over, this couple is completely broken up.]
Inside the East Palace, Qingmo listened to Jinzhu's report, her red lips slightly upturned.
"Miss, the second young lady did indeed hang herself this morning, but the maid found her in time and only injured her throat."
Jinzhu said in a low voice.
Qingmo took a sip of tea, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes: "She's quite ruthless."
"Miss, the whole capital is talking about this now. Both families have lost face."
Qingmo put down her teacup, got up and walked to the window.
Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, casting dappled shadows on her exquisite face.
"Prepare a congratulatory gift, and say that I wish my sister and Prince Wei a long and happy marriage."
Jinzhu understood, bowed her head, and withdrew.
[The female lead is truly devastating!]
[If this gift is sent, the male lead will be furious!]
My dear male lead, he's so pitiful. He married a woman he doesn't love, and he can never be happy again.
[Uh! Upstairs, the male lead seemed really happy last night, almost to the point of flying.]
Three days later, Wei Xuanling was forced to marry Jiang Wanyue.
There was no other way; the whole city knew, so they had to get married as soon as possible.
The wedding was hasty and simple, a stark contrast to the Crown Princess's elaborate bridal procession.
Even more ironically, the congratulatory gifts sent by the Crown Prince's Palace—
A pair of pheasants.
"Jiang Fu!"
When Wei Xuanling saw the congratulatory gift, he immediately killed the pair of pheasants, his eyes turning bloodshot.
"Shut up!" Marquis Xuanping roared. "How dare you call the Crown Princess by her name?!"
Wei Xuanling's chest heaved violently, and he finally slammed his fist against the wall, blood dripping down his knuckles.
Jiang Wanyue stood to the side in her wedding dress, her face deathly pale.
She knew that she had won the marriage, but she had lost the man's heart forever.
The guests saw this but pretended not to see anything.
They're all people we can't afford to offend.
[This is so heartbreaking!]
The female supporting character brought this on herself.
[The male lead deserves it; who told him to be so dramatic? I've never seen such a dramatic male lead before. He insisted on torturing the female lead, and now he's the one who gets tortured.]
On their wedding night, Wei Xuanling didn't even lift the veil before slamming the door and leaving.
Jiang Wanyue sat alone on the wedding bed, clutching her wedding dress tightly, her eyes filled with resentment and malice.
"Jiang Fu...it's all your fault..."
She ripped off her veil and smashed the wine glass on the table onto the ground.
"I won't let you get away with this!"
But not long after she made those harsh words, she was kidnapped.
That night, assassins broke into the Marquis's residence.
The entire Marquis's mansion was wiped out.
Only the heir apparent, Wei Xuanling, remained, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, his eyes gouged out and thrown in front of the Marquis's mansion.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince's wife, Jiang Wanyue, was kidnapped by assassins.
It wasn't until three days later that it was discovered in the wilderness.
Her clothes were tattered, her hair disheveled, her eyes vacant, and she kept muttering, "Ghost...there's a ghost..."
Actually, she was fine. Qingmo just had Jue Er pretend to be a ghost to scare her, but no one touched her at all.
Although no one touched Jiang Wanyue, with her ghostly appearance, would others believe it or not?
That's none of our business.
