She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 467 - 466: This Palace Will Not Touch You, Avoiding Trouble Only to Get Stained with the Stench of Blood

Chapter 467: Chapter 466: This Palace Will Not Touch You, Avoiding Trouble Only to Get Stained with the Stench of Blood

Miss Chen was caught red-handed, and for a moment, she was somewhat dumbstruck, but thinking of her father as a veteran of three dynasties, and currently the main force opposing the Chu Kingdom, her heart steadied.

"This young lady pays her respects to the Crown Princess Consort," she said, performing a salute, then added, "Please forgive me, Crown Princess Consort, but this girl deliberately bumped into me first and then created a commotion behind me. I was afraid she would go crazy in front of a noble guest from Chu Kingdom, so I resorted to this strategy..."

Yan Wanqing, upon hearing this, had a sudden realization: "So that’s the case, then it seems I have indeed misunderstood you."

Back on this land, the Capital City was still the familiar Capital City, and the recipes were still those same old recipes.

The emphasis of these noble ladies when they spoke was all exactly the same.

It left Yan Wanqing feeling irked.

Not a single one capable of a fight.

Truly tedious.

The Miss Chen before me is as proud as a peacock ready to display its feathers, the damask and silk on her body, the expense of three to five years for an ordinary family.

To have outlived two emperors and become a veteran of three dynasties, is that how you become so wealthy?

But it was just that the court presently needed people, and everyone was clear in their minds about it.

This Miss from the Chen Family is quite interesting, showing off everywhere and behaving willfully and arrogantly.

Does she think Grand Tutor Chen has lived too long?

"It’s just that the Crown Princess Consort wasn’t aware of the situation, I won’t hold it against you," Miss Chen spoke.

Yan Wanqing’s red lips curled into a smile, "Cong Ge, you heard what was just said, didn’t you? Repeat it for her so she can recall it."

Cong Ge cast a bland glance at Miss Chen.

Fear seeped into Miss Chen’s heart.

The next second, she heard the Palace Maid speak.

"It was just the Crown Princess Consort taking your side, but it was you who bumped into me first. No matter how the Crown Princess Consort might protect her own, she can’t just force things, right?"

"Besides, you are not that important; don’t overestimate your status. While relations between the two nations are at a crucial juncture, who would stir up trouble for someone as insignificant as you? My father is a veteran of three dynasties!"

The echo of her own words just spoken to Li Chengxiang.

Miss Chen’s complexion turned pale.

She became somewhat flustered, "You were already standing there earlier!"

They had arrived long ago and had been standing there watching, watching how she humiliated her own person. Yan Wanqing wasn’t all that upright and straightforward either!

"Yes," Yan Wanqing nodded, "Not only did I see it, but the Crown Prince and the King of Chu saw it too; they just had other matters and left first."

With these words, Miss Chen’s entire body staggered a couple of steps and she looked as if she were about to fall. Cong Ge caught her.

"Be careful, Miss Chen."

Yan Wanqing glanced at her indifferently, then turned her gaze to the two nursemaids, "Aren’t you going to let go, or are you waiting for me to come and chop off your hands?"

The two nursemaids had already been frightened since earlier and now stood frozen in place.

Li Chengxiang struggled free and, not caring about her disheveled state, ran to Yan Wanqing, her expression tense: "Crown Princess Consort, Xiaoliu, she..."

"Don’t rush, take your time," Yan Wanqing said in a soothing tone.

Li Chengxiang, under her focused gaze, felt her mind settling. She glanced at the people around, but didn’t speak.

"Come over here and tell me," said Yan Wanqing, who was exceedingly astute, moving to the side. Immediately, her maids screened her from view.

Li Chengxiang whispered the entire sequence of events in a lowered voice.

After listening, Yan Wanqing’s expression darkened slightly: "I can’t go over there right now, as matters are not yet concluded here. Cong Ge, go with her."

The matter was of great importance, and so she couldn’t just take people over there directly.

On the other side, Miss Chen had no idea what Li Chengxiang was telling Yan Wanqing; she only assumed it was a complaint against her.

It angered her to the point of almost crushing her back teeth.

"Li Chengxiang, if you have the courage, say it to my face!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the maids blocking the way dispersed, and Yan Wanqing looked straight over. The rest of Miss Chen’s words were stuck in her throat.

On ordinary days, when Yan Wanqing didn’t look at herself, she found her quite easy to get along with, not so fierce and malevolent.

But that glance just now truly made the young Miss of the Chen Family lose her footing.

There was unmistakably a murderous intent hidden in those peach blossom eyes!

As if thorny vines, full of brambles, were reaching out from the darkness, coiling around her flesh, dragging her towards the abyss.

"Grand Tutor Chen has been careful and conscientious all his life, dedicated to his duties, fearing that he may become the subject of gossip. His daughter, however, seems to be going completely against his principles," Yan Wanqing stated expressionlessly, and it was clear to everyone that the young Miss of the Chen Family had hit a snag this time.

The fact that it was in front of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort might have been bearable, as closing the doors and taking care of one’s own affairs usually ended with a beating or a scolding.

Who would have thought that it would also happen in front of the King of Chu?

This was quite a loss of face for Dawei.

Especially when Chu Qi left, he made a meaningful remark, "The women of Dawei truly do not lose out to men."

This directly caused Xiao Pingfeng to turn dark with anger on the spot.

The thought of ending Grand Tutor Chen’s life there and then even crossed his mind.

The young Miss Chen was still unaware of the impending doom: "Everyone saw it, she provoked me first. She is now of common status; surely I, as a miss, have the right to accuse her."

Li Chengxiang couldn’t be bothered with her, his mind only on Xiaoliu, as he left with Cong Ge from the side.

"This servant will take Miss Li to apply medicine," Cong Ge said as they were leaving.

A clever way to explain why the two of them were leaving.

At this moment, only the young Miss of the Chen Family and her group of ladies were left behind.

Yan Wanqing opened the conversation unhurriedly, "Who saw what happened? This Palace has a poor memory, please come forward and recount the details for me."

Who would dare to speak?

No one knew when she had appeared.

Or to what extent she had seen.

If a single word was misspoken, it could spell disaster for their own families.

Therefore, the noble ladies all shook their heads, not daring to make a sound.

The young Miss Chen was used to throwing her weight around on a normal day, and they always went along with her, but in the face of the Crown Princess Consort’s questioning, they still had a clear understanding of which side their bread was buttered on.

Seeing them all silent, young Miss Chen couldn’t contain her anger.

"Fine, fine, fine, what a bunch of good sisters!" She gritted her teeth and looked up at Yan Wanqing, "Yes, I was the one who acted out. Do whatever you want with me, be it punishment or execution, Yan Wanqing. It’s my bad luck to have fallen into your hands today!"

Yan Wanqing’s lips curved in mockery, "You must have read too many dramas. I won’t touch you, to avoid the stench."

Grand Tutor Chen was probably on his way over now.

With Xiao Pingfeng ahead, there was no need for her to show off.

She only needed to be a mascot here, letting everyone see how beautiful and gracious the Dawei Crown Princess Consort was.

The rest would be neatly arranged by the Crown Prince.

But instead of Grand Tutor Chen, someone unfamiliar arrived—Qin Erya.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess Consort," Qin Erya said as she approached from a side path, her eyebrows raised slightly in surprise when she saw the scene before her, then bowed to Yan Wanqing.

Yan Wanqing nodded, "No need for formalities."

Granddaughter of the Grand Tutor of the Qin Family, Qin Erya.

Her name had been ringing like thunder recently.

No wonder Yan Wanqing had heard this name; there were rumors among the common folk comparing her with this young Miss of the Qin Family, casting her as mere mud on the ground while Qin Erya was like snowflakes in the sky.

She would have found it hard to ignore even if she wanted to.

Qin Erya moved closer, her white garb highlighting her noble and elegant demeanor.

"What has happened here?"
