Chapter 320: Chapter 320 - 320 Minister under the Skirt (42)

The cries of the vendors and the haggling of the passersby merged into a bustling, lively scene.

“Why isn’t His Highness returning to inherit the throne? What is he doing out there?”

“His Highness has a beauty in his embrace, choosing the beauty over the realm.”

“A beauty?”

“Haven’t you seen him? That man in red beside His Highness is even more beautiful than a woman, my heart skips a beat just looking at him, and I’m a man.”

“Is he really that good-looking?”

“Of course he is, otherwise why would His Highness refuse to return? Haven’t you heard? Every few days he squanders his wealth, buying things for that beauty.”

The woman wearing a veil walked hurriedly on the street, her eyes flashing with resentful coldness as these words reached her ears.

It was none other than Chu Yingyu.

Dongyuan was in chaos right now, and she was lucky to have escaped the Jun Family’s pursuit and made it back here with great difficulty.

A few people hurried past Chu Yingyu.

“We must bring His Highness back today, otherwise Her Majesty the Empress will have our heads.”

“His Highness won’t even see us, how can we persuade him?”

“We’ll come up with something when the time comes, let’s just get over there for now, and if all else fails, we cry!”

“Zhao Li.” Chu Yingyu grasped one of the men.

The man stopped in confusion, “Miss, do you know me?”

Chu Yingyu was dirty and disheveled, resembling a refugee, and her voice was rough.

“I’m your prince,” Chu Yingyu blurted out hastily, “I am Chu Yingyu.”

Zhao Li looked at her oddly, “Miss, are you all right?”

“I really am Chu Yingyu.” Chu Yingyu grew anxious, why wouldn’t they believe her? She truly was Chu Yingyu.

“Miss, our prince is safe and sound at home. Stop causing trouble and impersonating the prince, it’s a capital offense.” Zhao Li thought Chu Yingyu was not in her right mind and didn’t want to argue with her. He pulled away and said coldly, “You’re lucky to have run into us this time. Talk nonsense again and you won’t be so fortunate.”

“Why won’t you believe me? I am Chu Yingyu!”

Chu Yingyu continued to cling to Zhao Li.

As they struggled, Chu Yingyu’s veil fell off.

Zhao Li gasped, a flicker of horror in his eyes.

Chu Yingyu quickly let go of Zhao Li and frantically put her veil back on.

Zhao Li, frightened, seized the opportunity to leave with the other two startled companions as quickly as they could.

“That person just now was a bit strange…”

Once they were far away, Zhao Li stopped and discussed with his companions.

“That face was terrifying. Who could be so cruel to a girl like that?” The face they had just seen was full of scars, almost unrecognizable.

Someone indignantly said, “She even dares to impersonate the prince; if it were someone else, they’d have executed her by now.”

“She must be out of her mind. Let’s figure out how to get the prince back.”

“The prince has really gone too far! What’s so good about Xie Shu? The prince used to be somewhat sensible when Xie Shu ignored him, but now that Xie Shu has suddenly turned a new leaf, the prince has lost all sense of direction and even his own identity.”

“Xie Shu is nothing but trouble!”

“Couldn’t agree more!”

–

When Chu Yingyu was running away, the Jun Family caught her once, and that’s how her face got disfigured. Then, while focused on fleeing, she didn’t get timely treatment, so she ended up as she was now.

Her voice was also ruined.

Chu Yingyu was filled with hatred!

All this was supposed to be Jun Chuzheng’s burden; why did she have to suffer it?

Barely making it back here, she found her identity replaced by her.

Even the man she loved became hers…

Chu Yingyu kept telling everyone that she was the real Chu Yingyu, the Grand Imperial Princess of Jingyuan.

But no one believed her.

The Grand Imperial Princess squandered every day and would occasionally parade around with Xie Shu. How could she be the one they see before them now?

Chu Yingyu sought out some acquaintances.

Most of them cursed her as a crazy person without listening to her and even called for her arrest for impersonating the prince.

When Chu Yingyu was caught by the Jun Family, she not only suffered disfigurement but also lost her strength; she didn’t dare engage further.

And those with slightly better temperaments would listen to her a bit more, so she would bring up past events. However, at this point, Chu Yingyu realized how arrogant she had been previously, never truly caring about the people around her.

She could only mention the things she had done to embarrass others, which made the other party suspiciously ask her to remove her veil.

The result was that the other party vehemently humiliated her and still called for her capture, accusing her of impersonating Her Highness.

Before long, everyone in the city knew that a madwoman was impersonating Her Highness.

Chu Yingyu couldn’t make contact with Chuzheng at all; whatever she wanted to do remained merely a thought.

Everywhere Chu Yingyu went, she would be exposed by people.

No one would listen to what she had to say.

Their voices would always be louder than her own.

When Chuzheng saw Chu Yingyu, she had already gone completely mad.

Chuzheng, holding Xie Shu, covered his eyes, “Do you want her dead?”

Xie Shu, leaning on Chuzheng, “Do you think death is better, or is it better to live and be tormented?”

Chuzheng didn’t respond, “What do you think?”

Xie Shu said, “Let her live.”

He suffered so much; how could she escape through death?

Xie Shu pulled down Chuzheng’s hand, staring intently at Chuzheng, “Am I bad or not?”

Chuzheng kissed him, “You’re not bad.”

The Good Person Card must be praised.

It cannot be contradicted.

What he says is always right!

If he’s wrong, please refer to the previous points.

Xie Shu placed Chuzheng’s hand over his heart, “There’s a beast living in the bottom of my heart, only you can contain it.”

He held Chuzheng’s hand, kissing her fingertips.

“Don’t leave me, or it will come out.”

Chuzheng’s fingertips grew slightly hot, she trembled lightly, then hummed in acknowledgment.

Xie Shu laughed, his entire being so beautiful it was hard to look away.

–

Chuzheng completed the worthless task like a Bastard, feeling so exhausted her heart didn’t even want to beat, just longing for a good sleep.

The room was pitch-dark.

Chuzheng was too lazy to light the lamp and walked to the bed from memory, but as soon as she touched the bed, she heard a faint voice from the darkness.

It was like a small wildcat abruptly crying out, scratching at one’s heart irresistibly.

Chuzheng reached into the covers.

Xie Shu’s body was burning up; Chuzheng immediately pulled him out, “Are you sick?” He was fine when they went out, how did he become sick!!

Xie Shu only had on thin undergarments, which were half-unraveled, revealing glimpses of skin that tempted one to sin.

“So hot…” Xie Shu murmured, and Chuzheng, holding him, felt like she was embracing a furnace.

Chuzheng, looking at him, didn’t think it looked like a fever, it seemed more like…

Chuzheng remembered a time on the boat when he had looked exactly the same.

“…”

Which Bastard had drugged him?

Chuzheng was kissed by Xie Shu so intensely she had no time to ponder this question, she pressed down on him, kissing him while pinning him beneath her.

Xie Shu’s voice in Chuzheng’s ears acted like a catalyst, making her mind explode with noise.

Chuzheng, holding Xie Shu, brought him to the brink again and again.

Fortunately, the effects of the drug weren’t as strong as last time.

When Chuzheng lay down, she was poked by something, and upon looking, her gaze suddenly turned cold.

“You little thing, you…”

Xie Shu, with his eyes closed, seemed to find her bothersome, cuddling into her embrace.

Chuzheng: “…”

The Good Person Card.

Must be cherished.
