"Your Highness..."
"Do you think this king will still let you toy with him as before?"
Feng Yexuan turned and, with a bang, pressed her against the door.
Although the force was not great, it still made Chu Qianli a little dizzy.
"Your Highness, I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't invite you here, did I?"
Chu Qianli was truly bewildered today. He came on his own accord and became this angry; who was to blame?
"Fourth Brother, I thought she..." Feng Wuya wanted to explain.
Feng Yexuan, however, coldly interrupted him, "You haven't been deceived by her, so you don't know this woman's methods!"
"Wuya, this king advises you to provoke her less. She is by no means as kind as you think!"
Chu Qianli felt a bit stifled.
Whether she was kind or not, she wouldn't judge herself, but today, she truly hadn't intended to provoke him.
He came on his own, and the moment he arrived, he was angry. Why should he vent his anger on her?
"Your Highness..." she frowned.
Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Do you really think you're blameless just because you're hiding here?"
Chu Qianli moved her lips.
Feng Yexuan, however, cut off all her words, "Participating in the royal selection, advancing, and then deliberately not attending is an insult to the royal family!"
"Chu Qianli, do you think you and the people of your Duke's mansion have enough heads for this king to chop off?"
Chu Qianli's heart trembled, and her expression immediately changed.
She really hadn't thought of that.
However, today she truly wasn't doing it on purpose.
After waking up, her head was muddled, and she couldn't recall anything. It was as if she had been possessed.
She didn't even know why she had fainted, when she had fainted, or when she had arrived here.
"Your Highness, I didn't intend to offend, but I was indeed feeling unwell today..."
"Do you think this king would believe you?"
Feng Yexuan took a step forward.
Chu Qianli immediately tried to retreat.
But her back was against the door, and she had nowhere to retreat.
As soon as she looked up, she could feel his bone-chilling aura, so close.
Although she couldn't retreat, she still tried her best to create some distance between them.
"Your Highness, it was my fault today, I forgot..."
"Miss Chu, who is so resourceful and cunning, would also forget something so important? Or is it that this matter is simply not important in your heart?"
"Fourth Brother, A'Li really last night..."
"Prince Xiaoyao, this matter has nothing to do with you. You... wait for me outside for a moment."
Chu Qianli immediately interrupted Feng Wuya. She finally understood that every time Feng Wuya spoke up for her, this scoundrel of a man would become even angrier.
Therefore, the more Wuya spoke, the more he would be wrong. It was better not to speak for now.
Feng Wuya seemed to understand this as well. After glancing at the two of them again, he finally stepped away.
He walked far away.
So that Fourth Brother wouldn't make things more difficult for A'Li by seeing him.
"Your Highness," Chu Qianli looked up, meeting Feng Yexuan's cold gaze.
At this moment, her eyes were sincere.
"I really forgot. After waking up today, my mind was in chaos. I don't even know why I came to this place last night."
"Your Highness, I am not lying to you. If you are angry that I deliberately did not attend, then cancel my qualification. I will have no complaints."
After all, she had already established a relationship with Long Ziyue.
Even if Feng Yexuan didn't cancel her qualification, she would deliberately lose the competition.
This way, she would no longer have any entanglement or connection with him, nor would she make him unhappy again.
She really couldn't afford to provoke this man.
But unfortunately, Chu Qianli's words not only did not quell Feng Yexuan's anger.
Instead, the flame in his chest burned even more fiercely.
"So, this is your goal? To deliberately anger this king so that he cancels your qualification, and then you can live your life freely and happily?"
You want to get close to Long Ziyue, and now you've succeeded, haven't you?
When she came out with Long Ziyue last night, who couldn't see them talking and laughing, clearly having become friends?
Her methods were indeed brilliant!
"Princess Pingyue is simple-minded. I never expected to meet a vixen like you! Actually using her ignorance and simplicity!"
Chu Qianli bit her lip, truly getting angry.
In his eyes, Yu Linglong was good, Chu Huaiyu was good, and any girl was a good person.
Only she, with her deep schemes and ruthless heart!
Calling her a "vixen" one after another, anyone would get angry!
Knowing that she shouldn't provoke him, but who could tolerate it?
"Since Your Highness knows I am this kind of person, why do you still bother with me? My goal was indeed to get close to Long Ziyue. Since you can see it, I have no need to hide it."
"Participating in the selection does not mean I am interested in Your Highness! Why does Your Highness still insist on pestering me?"
She shouldn't have said such angry words.
But she really couldn't help it!
Feng Yexuan's aura instantly turned extremely cold.
He suddenly took a step forward.
This time, he was firmly, completely pressed against her.
Rather than saying pressed against, it was more like he was crushing her!
Crushing her so she had no chance to break free, crushing her so she could barely breathe.
It was too heavy!
"Feng Yexuan!"
"Finally, you've revealed your true colors in front of this king? Where is the meekness and obedience from before?"
He knew it, this woman was the best at acting!
Not only did she deceive him, deceive Long Ziyue, but now she was also going to deceive his simple and unworldly fifth brother!
How many more people did this wicked woman want to deceive before she would be satisfied?
Feng Yexuan suddenly tightened his long fingers.
Chu Qianli felt everything in front of her instantly spin.
The dizziness from last night had not yet subsided.
He picked her up, head down, and her mind went blank.
"Feng Yexuan..." she shook her head.
The image that flashed through her mind was Consort Yu's face, becoming clearer and clearer, as if she were right in front of her.
She said there was something on her hair and wanted to help her pick it out.
But when she looked up and met Consort Yu's eyes... Chu Qianli had completely forgotten what happened next.
She only vaguely remembered that there was something in Consort Yu's eyes, like a very deep, very deep vortex...
"Feng Yexuan, what are you doing?"
By the time she reacted, she had already been thrown onto the bedside.
The door slammed shut, completely isolating her from the outside.
He stood behind her.
His large hand landed on her back, leaving her with no ability to resist.
This scene was so familiar.
That night, she danced the belly dance in the mansion, making him furious.
After that, he was like this, filled with rage and confining her.
That night was the nightmare of her life!
Chu Qianli's heart instantly tensed. The fear from that night, like a tidal wave, instantly returned to her mind.
"I was wrong!"
She absolutely did not want to experience the same thing again, she would rather die than try again!
"I was really wrong, Your Highness. Give me another chance, and I will never be absent again! I really won't!"
But today she truly wasn't doing it on purpose. Why did he never believe her even once?
