Chapter 119: Chapter 118: So, you’ve already climbed into the North Prince’s bed, haven’t you?_2

Translator: 549690339 |

Hearing Chu Qingli’s words, Chu Yuqin sighed again and then spoke with deep meaning, “Qingli, I cannot leave North City with you. I have found my place of refuge.”

Chu Qingli questioned, “Is the North Prince Mansion what you call your place of refuge? Do you enjoy being a maid to others that much?”

“You are now a married woman, constantly staying at the North Prince Mansion. Do you knowhow others viewyou, what they say about you?”

“There are already rumors in the martial world that you are the North Prince s pet, a shameless and unfilial woman.”

Hearing this from Chu Qingli, Chu Yuqin was stunned again; she had indeed thought that such a day might come.

After all, the North Prince was no longer a child, and she was no longer Chu Yue’s maid. She had married into the Wang Family, and her presence at the North Prince’s side was always somewhat illegitimate.

It was normal for people to suspect that there was something between her and the North Prince.

Seeing Chu Yuqin fall silent, Chu Qingli thought she was wavering and took the opportunity to press on, “Sister, come with me. The Barbarian Tribe’s three hundred thousand cavalry are moving southward, and staying by the North Prince’s side is a dead end for you.”

Chu Yuqin then snapped back to reality, her previously serious expression instantly vanished, replaced by a slight smile.

“Qingli, I am happy that the Family Head has given you freedom, but I cannot leave with you. I have decided to stay in the North Prince Mansion for life, no matter what outsiders say about me. I will accept it.”

“I promised Sister Chu Yue that I would take good care of Chen’er. Chen’er is now everything to me, and I will never leave him.”

“Qingli, go!”

Seeing that Chu Yuqin still refused to leave with her, Chu Qingli’s expression remained unchanged, and she said indifferently, “So, the rumors outside are true after all. You have indeed climbed into the North Prince’s bed, haven’t you?”

Chu Yuqin still did not get angry; she simply said, “The innocent cleanse themselves, the corrupt taint themselves. There’s no point in me saying more.”

“Qingli, live well from now on. Pretend you don’t have a sister like me.

At this point, Chu Yuqin was about to turn around and head back to the mansion, but just then, Chu Qingli suddenly said, “Since you refuse to leave with me, then I won’t go either. I want to see what’s so great about that man that has you so utterly bewitched.”

This…

Chu Yuqin was instantly stunned.

Honestly, if this were before, Chu Yuqin would definitely be very happy to have another Ninth Grade master protecting Lu Chen.

But now things were different.

Lu Chen was already surrounded by many experts, not only Ninth Grade masters but even those at the Master Level.

One more or one less Ninth Grade made no real difference to Lu Chen.

Moreover, Chu Qingli had a prejudice against Lu Chen, and Chu Yuqin was afraid that one day Chu Qingli would impulsively attack Lu Chen.

With these thoughts, Chu Yuqin said, “Qingli, everyone has their own life. You have gained your freedom and should cherish this hard-won liberty. You don’t need to follow your sister.”

Chu Qingli still spoke expressionlessly, “You seem so reluctant to have me follow you. Are you afraid I will discover your secret affair with the North Prince?”

Chu Yuqin sighed deeply.

Chu Qingli, who had always repressed her emotions since childhood, was stubborn. Once she set her mind on something, it was very hard for her to change.

“If you want to follow your sister, I will not object, but let me remind you, if you attempt to harm Chen’er, from then on, we are no longer sisters, but enemies!”

At this point, Chu Qingli did not speak.

Chu Yuqin then said, “Come with me, I’ll arrange a room for you.”

With that, Chu Yuqin walked toward the mansion, and Chu Qingli followed.

When they entered the courtyard, Mu Zixuan saw a stunning woman with an icy demeanor following Chu Yuqin and asked, “Madam Chu, who is this lady?”

Chu Yuqin replied, “Zixuan, this is my sister from the Chu Family.” Hearing this, Mu Zixuan immediately said, “So this is Madam Chu’s sister. Miss Chu, please come and sit over here.”

Originally, Chu Yuqin had intended to arrange a room for her, but since the Princess had invited her for tea, she was in no hurry for the moment.

At that moment, Chu Yuqin turned back to Chu Qingli and said, “Qingli, this is the Princess, and these are Chen’er’s two wives.”

Chu Qingli promptly curtsied and said, “The commoner greets the Princess and pays respects to the two ladies.”

Mu Zixuan smiled and said, “Miss Chu, no need to be formal. Come and sit.” Without hesitation, Chu Qingli went straight to the stone table inside the pavilion and sat down.

Mu Zixuan subconsciously poured a cup of tea for Chu Qingli, then curiously asked, “Miss Chu, do you have any business in North City?”

Chu Qingli answered, “Back to the princess, I plan to take my sister away from the Prince’s Mansion.”

Upon hearing Chu Qingli’s answer, both Mu Zixuan and the two Zhou servants were stunned. After regaining her composure, Mu Zixuan looked at Chu Yuqin and said, “Madam Chu? Are you planning to leave the Prince’s Mansion?” The relationship between Lu Chen and Chu Yuqin was known to them; how could Lu Chen possibly let Chu Yuqin leave.

Chu Yuqin hurriedly said, “I have no plans to leave the Prince’s Mansion for the time being, I have already rejected her.”

Hearing this from Chu Yuqin, Mu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Chu Yuqin said to Chu Qingli, “Qingli, the tea of the Prince’s Mansion has the effect of refreshing the mind and relieving fatigue. You must be somewhat tired after your long journey. Why not taste the tea of the Prince’s Mansion?”

No sooner had Chu Yuqin finished speaking than Chu Qingli picked up the cup of tea Mu Zixuan had poured for her and drank it down.

Seeing Chu Qingli drink the tea, Mu Zixuan’s heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! She had forgotten to change the tea!

The tea they were drinking was Dragon and Phoenix Tea brought from Yan County!

Others might not know the effects of Dragon and Phoenix Tea, but Mu Zixuan was well aware of them.

This was trouble!

At this time, Mu Zixuan took another look at Chu Qingli.

Cold as ice, skin like creamy jade, an elegant and cold demeanor, a willowy figure, like a goddess descending from the nine heavens, very similar to Bai Qingqing, the concubine maid that Lu Chen had just accepted before they left the Prince’s Mansion.

Mu Zixuan thought to herself that the Prince must like such a woman, right? She just hoped that when they returned to Yan County, Lu Chen wouldn’t be angry with her.

After drinking the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, Chu Qingli found that the tea from the Prince’s Mansion did indeed have the effect of refreshing the mind and stabilizing emotions.

Despite her consistently cold expression, she had been feeling quite heavy- hearted after hearing Chu Yuqin’s unwillingness to leave the Prince’s Mansion with her.

But after drinking the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, that feeling of heaviness dissipated instantly, and she felt much more relaxed.

The tea was indeed miraculous.

Afterward, Chu Qingli said to Mu Zixuan, “Thank you for the tea, Princess.” Mu Zixuan replied with a slightly embarrassed tone, “You’re welcome.” Then Mu Zixuan continued to ask, “Miss Chu, with the current unstable situation in North City, what are your plans now?”

Chu Qingli, with an impassive face, answered, “Back to the princess, wherever my sister is, I shall be as well.”

This…

Mu Zixuan looked at Chu Yuqin.

Then Chu Yuqin quickly said, “Zixuan, I plan to make her the Deputy Commander of the guard in the inner court of the Prince’s Mansion. What do you think?”

Without hesitation, Mu Zixuan said, “That’s no problem at all. By the way, Miss Chu, I still don’t know your name.”

Chu Qingli then said, “My name is Chu Qingli.”

Mu Zixuan enthusiastically said, “Then from now on, we will call you Qingli.” Just as Mu Zixuan was about to continue speaking, a maid from the Prince s Mansion suddenly rushed in, panic-stricken, “Princess! Princess! It’s terrible!!!”

Seeing the maid’s pale face and frantic expression, Mu Zixuan immediately asked, “What happened?”

The maid hurriedly responded, “Princess, the garrison of Anping City has just spotted a cavalry of about five thousand men rapidly approaching Anping City! They are suspected to be the vanguard of the Barbarian Tribe!”

Upon hearing these words, Mu Zixuan felt her mind go blank, almost fainting to the floor.

Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly supported Mu Zixuan.

With trembling body, Mu Zixuan said, “How… how is this possible… with Yan County there, how could the Barbarian Tribe reach Anping City so quickly, could it be… Yan County has already…”

As she spoke, Mu Zixuan became more agitated, her complexion turning even paler, completely devoid of color.
