"When did this king ever agree to send you out?"
Feng Yexuan really wanted to strangle this woman.
Hadn't she heard that he had already refused?
Did his elder brother really dare to take her corpse from him?
"Heh, you didn't agree to send me out, you agreed to send my corpse to him!"
Chu Qianli knew she was speaking out of anger, but she understood his intentions.
However, she couldn't stand him calling her a mere concubine in such a contemptuous tone in front of so many people!
She didn't want to be a concubine!
Why should she live such a humiliating life?
Even going out required his approval?
The anger that had been suppressed for days could no longer be contained.
As a modern person, being confined, humiliated, and treated like a toy to be judged!
What right did these so-called noble men have?
Feng Yexuan said nothing more, for he was too enraged to utter a single word!
His large hand suddenly fell, and he forcefully clasped her slender waist.
Chu Qianli immediately felt the strength that held her waist tightly.
A dangerous aura instantly filled her senses.
She began to feel uneasy.
This scoundrel!
Her agitated heart instantly calmed down.
The current situation was very unfavorable for her.
"Your Highness, I don't want to argue with you, nor do I want to make you angry. I genuinely want to return to the Duke's mansion."
Regardless of whether she wanted to admit it, she truly didn't have the right to confront him now.
And she couldn't win!
"Can I apologize now?"
"Apologize?" The two words were clearly squeezed out from between Feng Yexuan's teeth.
He snorted coldly, his voice gradually becoming incredibly hoarse, "Unfortunately, it's too late!"
"Your Highness..."
Chu Qianli moved her body slightly.
But the moment she moved, she immediately felt him hold her even tighter!
He gripped her so tightly that it was difficult to breathe.
His tall figure also pressed against her from behind.
It was as hot as a raging fire!
She was truly panicked!
This man had clearly lost all reason due to his anger!
"Feng Yexuan... Your Highness, I was really wrong. I was just being petulant... I won't dare to do it again."
"I won't go out anymore. I'll go back now... I'll go back and reflect in solitude... Mmm—"
This scoundrel!
But the moment he held her tightly, his nails scratched her skin!
"Your Highness... Feng Yexuan, don't touch me, you're not allowed to touch me, don't..."
He turned a deaf ear.
In his eyes, there was only her.
In his heart, there was only one thought... he wanted to tame this untamed woman who drove men to madness!
...
As dawn approached.
Chu Qianli struggled to open her eyes and to focus on the tall figure standing by the bed.
After putting on his clothes, he was once again that impeccably dressed, peerlessly handsome man.
The innate cold aura that had disappeared all night had now returned.
She wasn't afraid before, but now, looking at him, her legs trembled.
He suddenly turned his head, his chilling gaze falling on her face.
Chu Qianli instinctively wanted to close her eyes to avoid his gaze, but it was too late.
Whether it was due to lack of strength or something else, her reactions had become sluggish.
Her dry lips trembled slightly under his gaze.
There was a small wound on her lip.
Feng Yexuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he raised his long finger, intending to touch the wound.
Although he had lost his reason, he was certain that he hadn't caused this wound.
It was her own stubbornness, biting herself.
But before his long finger could touch her lips, the woman turned her face away, avoiding him.
Her expression was as if she absolutely refused to be touched by him.
Feng Yexuan retracted his fingertips and stood by the bed, looking down at her.
"From now on, don't anger this king again. You may not be able to bear the wrath of this king!"
Chu Qianli closed her eyes, refusing to speak.
In fact, she was so exhausted that even breathing was difficult.
Her throat was dry and itchy, feeling as if it was about to catch fire.
She simply didn't want to speak.
But in Feng Yexuan's eyes, this behavior was an expression of unyielding stubbornness.
Never learning to be obedient!
He turned and left, carrying his anger with him.
Chu Qianli moved and realized that her body felt completely broken.
Even moving was painful.
She simply closed her eyes and rested.
However, she didn't expect that this rest would last for half the day.
When she woke up again, she saw Qian'er standing nervously beside her.
She looked like she had been standing there for a long time.
"Princess Consort, you're finally awake!" Seeing her open her eyes, Qian'er looked delighted.
If the Princess Consort didn't wake up soon, she would have been unable to resist finding a place to sit and rest.
But this was the King's bedchamber.
She had been at the King's mansion for a long time, and she had entered Wuzhou Garden before, accompanying the Princess Consort.
However, she dared not even enter the study or the main hall, let alone such a private place as the bedchamber!
This was her first time entering the King's bedchamber.
But she didn't dare to sit! What if the King found out that she had defiled his place, would he directly order her execution?
"Princess Consort, how are you?" Seeing Chu Qianli's pale face, Qian'er felt very uneasy.
"Princess Consort..."
"I'm not... your Princess Consort. Don't... call me that anymore."
That title made her feel wronged!
No legitimate wife would be treated like this by her man!
She herself couldn't believe she had survived.
It was more terrifying than a wolf!
She was indeed just a concubine!
"Princess Consort..." Qian'er's lips quivered, and she almost cried.
The Princess Consort's voice was hoarse and weak.
She knew the Princess Consort was wronged, and the King... the King was truly too much.
Looking at the exposed arms and shoulders of the Princess Consort, there were red marks everywhere from being pinched.
Had the Princess Consort suffered greatly last night?
"Princess Consort, don't be sad. I... I'll help you get dressed, and we'll go back to Qianyun Pavilion."
This place was too terrifying, and she didn't want to stay for another moment.
She also didn't want the Princess Consort to stay here any longer.
This wasn't affection, it was torture!
Chu Qianli didn't speak, she just closed her eyes and nodded.
Qian'er immediately helped her up.
The quilt accidentally slipped, revealing her body...
"Don't look." Chu Qianli was still not used to being served.
She took the clothes from Qian'er's hands and, with great effort, managed to put them on.
When she got out of bed, if Qian'er hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Her legs had no strength at all.
"Princess Consort, I'll help you back." Qian'er just wanted to leave Wuzhou Garden as quickly as possible.
The entire courtyard, like its owner, was intimidating.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the mistress and servant returned to Wuzhou Garden, Leng Ji arrived.
"Miss Li, this is what the King ordered me to give you."
He handed a token with both hands.
Chu Qianli looked at it, and a hint of bitterness inexplicably appeared in her eyes.
Was this considered a reward for her "service"? How ironic!
