Chapter 877 Mental collapse
Prince Liang's Mansion.
The moment King Liang realized that his plan had failed, he went completely mad.
"How could Song Ruozhen escape? How could she have such ability!"
He hadn't originally planned to be in such a hurry, but because of that idiot Wu Yue'er, he was confined to the manor.
It may seem like only three months, but this is a critical moment. If he can't get out for so long, with Chu Junting's methods, he might be able to make him have no chance to recover!
Left with no other choice, he could only take a risk, plunging Chu Junting into endless trouble as well.
He considered this move a sure-kill technique, which he had never used before, but he was certain to succeed if he used it this time.
However, he never expected that Song Ruozhen would be so capable that she could even break through this trick. Not only did she fail to frame him, but she also got him into trouble!
"Your Highness, even Master Xuanyang didn't expect Song Ruozhen to have such methods. This move is very special, and even among people in the Xuanmen sect, few know about it."
Now that this trick has been seen through, I'm afraid...
The subordinates kneeling on the ground looked extremely grim; they all knew what the failure of this move meant.
The prince is already embroiled in trouble, and Wu Yue'er has disrupted all his plans. Now, with this incident added to the mix, things are probably in complete disarray.
"Where are the Xuan Yang people?" King Liang asked in a deep voice.
"Master Xuanyang has been missing since yesterday and has not returned yet."
"What?" King Liang's expression changed completely at this moment. "Whether he succeeds or not, he will come back to deliver the message after he finishes his business."
He hasn't returned yet, could it be... he's been captured?
Master Xuanyang was the person he trusted most, and his right-hand man over the years. He never even thought about becoming the crown prince.
Because his mother wasn't assertive enough, and he himself didn't have many advantages, everything changed after he met Master Xuanyang. He felt that there was hope for everything.
However, ever since he met Master Xuanyang, he felt that hope had been rekindled.
Over the years, he has been lying low while expanding his power base and cultivating relationships with some court officials.
With Master Xuan Yang's methods, it was not difficult to do all this. As long as these people encountered difficulties, they would help them solve them and thus gain a great favor.
"No, Xuan Yang absolutely cannot be captured, or we'll be in big trouble!"
The usually composed King Liang panicked at this moment. "Send people to investigate immediately. If he has been caught, you must find a way to rescue him."
"Your Highness, our people are already investigating. Master Xuanyang is highly skilled and has many experts protecting him."
He hasn't come back yet. We went to his place but didn't see him. I'm afraid he's really been caught.
The man tremblingly told the truth: they had never dared to tell the prince before, for fear that the prince would not be able to bear the news.
However, no news has come yet, and they know in their hearts that they must have been captured...
King Liang slumped in his chair, his mind blank. He had schemed for so long, only to be defeated by King Chu in the end.
This shouldn't be happening!
Master Xuan Yang had previously told his fortune, saying that he had the countenance of an emperor and that he was here specifically to assist the emperor!
Although Chu Junting was highly skilled in martial arts and had made great achievements, he was indifferent to fame and had no interest in the throne. Why has everything changed now?
“Your Highness, Master Xuan Yang is your trusted confidant. He has always been loyal to you. Even if he were captured, he would never betray you,” the man said hastily.
King Liang chuckled, but the light in his eyes dimmed.
"Even if Xuan Yang doesn't betray me, I'm afraid I have no chance of winning if he's not by my side."
He suddenly recalled the strange expression on Master Xuanyang's face when he learned that the King of Chu had married Song Ruozhen.
At the time, he said that Song Ruozhen should not have such a fate, and it was even more impossible for her to marry into the royal family, but she did marry into it anyway, and the King of Chu, who was originally destined to die alone, also had a wife.
Looking back now, all the changes started from that time.
If he had sensed something was wrong back then, he would have killed Song Ruozhen directly, and perhaps everything would be different now.
Unfortunately, there's no going back now; it's too late to regret it.
Qi Qingyi was in a bad mood ever since she learned that the prince had been confined to his quarters because of his affair with Wu Yue'er.
She never expected that that bitch would actually manage to climb into her own prince's bed. A princess sent for a political marriage, she not only had to choose among so many princes, but she also clearly liked the Prince of Chu, yet she still managed to climb into her own prince's bed!
Since the prince was in a bad mood, she dared not provoke him and had been staying quietly in the manor these days.
However, she felt the atmosphere was unusually strange today. Several people from the prince's side had come over, which meant something was definitely wrong.
"Your Highness, the Prince is only under house arrest and is in a bad mood, so you don't need to worry," the maid advised.
Qi Qingyi shook her head. "It's not that simple. Something must have happened. You don't think it's possible that Wu Yue'er is pregnant with our prince's child, do you?"
Upon hearing this, the maid was startled, and disbelief flashed in her eyes.
"Impossible, right? Our prince only did it once, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"I also think it's too much of a coincidence. I've been married to the prince for so long and haven't gotten pregnant yet. How could that slut be so lucky as to get pregnant on the first try?"
Qi Qingyi pondered for a moment before speaking, "But right now, I really can't think of any other possibility besides this one."
"Your Highness, please don't overthink it. It should be fine."
"I hope so."
Looking at her disfigured face in the mirror, Qi Qingyi couldn't help but feel saddened as she recalled her pre-disfigurement days.
"That bitch Tang Xuening dared to ruin my face! I'll make sure she dies a horrible death!"
"Your Highness, rest assured, everything has been done as you instructed. That vile woman certainly won't last long in the palace!"
Qi Qingyi gritted her teeth, "If that bitch hadn't kept instigating me to target Song Ruozhen, none of this would have happened. It's all her fault!"
Whether it's Tang Xuening or Wu Yue'er, those two bitches are only pretending to be nice to her while plotting against her behind her back!
"I asked you to find a miracle doctor for me. Is there any progress? Even if it's just a face transplant, you have to make sure my face is restored to its original state."
If my face is ruined, then like my mother-in-law, I'll never see hope for the rest of my life.
"That miracle doctor is already on his way. It is said that he is most skilled at treating disfigurement, and I believe he can definitely heal the princess's face."
