Chapter 423: The Princess Was Thrown Out

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Princess Changle didn’t care if the empress had heard about it or not. She convicted her. “Sister-in-law, from the looks of it, this woman’s intentions are not simple.”

The Empress was puzzled. “Why do you say that?”

Observing Chu Qingzhi, who seemed nothing like someone seeking to climb the social ladder, especially recalling her saving the crown prince, the Empress doubted the Princess’s words. Yet, being sensitive like most women in the harem, she wanted to know more.

Princess Changle tried her best to slander Chu Qingzhi. “A young lady came to the imperial palace in the middle of the night to treat Brother. It’s obvious that she wants to seduce Brother. I heard that young lady is very beautiful. Sister-in-law, you have to be careful.”

“Changle, you’ve seen her?” The empress thought to herself. Chu Qingzhi was even more beautiful than her. The key was her temperament. No noble lady in the capital could compare to her.

“No, but I’ve just heard about her,” Princess Changle replied nonchalantly, “Sister-in-law, think about it, which beautiful girl doesn’t have ambitions? Our brother is a man, after all. You must not let him be taken advantage of.”

The empress did not reply. Chu Qingzhi had saved her husband and son, so she was unwilling to speculate about her maliciously. “Changle, did you come to me to tell me this?”

Princess Changle said, “No, I want to understand a bit more before leaving the palace to meet her.”

The empress thought that Chu Qingzhi had done her a favor, so she advised Changle, “You must have misunderstood her. If she’s really like you said, why didn’t she stay in the palace last night?”

Princess Changle put on a look of understanding. “Sister-in-law, she is playing hard to get. Many girls like to use this trick.”

The Empress thought for a moment and said, “Changle, why don’t you go and see her first?”

“Sister-in-law, I will prove it to you.” Seeing that the empress was not standing on her side, Princess Changle did not plan to say anything more. She stood up and left the central palace.

The empress looked at Princess Changle’s back and thought to herself, Chu Qingzhi doesn’t even seem to be afraid of the emperor. You… be careful.

Princess Changle brought along her personal palace maids. With a whip in her hand, she aggressively went to the general’s mansion.

“Chu Qingzhi, come out!” Princess Changle whipped the two guards who were blocking her and rushed into the general’s mansion.

There was an obvious bloodstain on the two guards’ bodies. It was so painful that they hissed.

The princess’s whip was made of a special material. When it hit their body, it was painful. Moreover, it left a bloody mark. It could be seen how painful it was.

Chu Qingzhi returned from Prince Rui’s mansion and planned to rest. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the door, she saw the bright bloodstains on the two guards.

These were all Tang Jinghong’s personal soldiers. Chu Qingzhi quickly took out the medicine from her bag and handed it to one of them. “Go apply the medicine.”

The guard cupped his hands and said gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Chu.”

They thought to themselves that Princess Changle was simply far inferior to the future wife of the general.

Chu Qingzhi said gently, “You’re welcome. Go quickly.”

After the guards left, Chu Qingzhi entered the general’s mansion and vaguely heard the princess cursing.

“Chu Qingzhi, get out here!”

“First, you bewitched Jinghong, and now you’re going to the palace to bewitch my brother. You’re really shameless!”

“Chu Qingzhi, don’t hide. Even if you hide to the ends of the world, I’ll find you!”

Those who had ever pointed their fingers at her and cursed her were all six feet under. This princess…

She was courting death!

Chu Qingzhi flew in Princess Changle’s direction and landed behind her. She crossed her arms and said coldly, “You’re looking for me?”

Princess Changle was startled. She quickly turned around. “Who are you?”

Chu Qingzhi snorted and said mockingly, “Aren’t you looking for me? You actually don’t know who I am?”

Princess Changle quickly reacted. “You’re Chu Qingzhi?”

As she spoke, she carefully observed Chu Qingzhi. Chu Qingzhi had only adorned herself with simple jewelry and her dress was quite ordinary, yet it made her feel a sense of inferiority.

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes were disdainful, and her tone was indifferent. “That’s me. What can I do for you, Princess?”

Princess Changle smiled sinistcrly. “I came specially to deal with you!”

She wavded her whip, and a terrifying sound rang out. In the next second, the whip drew an arc and lashed at Chu Qingzhi’s fair face.

She wanted to destroy this face and Chu Qingzhi!

Chu Qingzhi stood on the spot and did not move. She did not even blink. When the whip approached, she reached out and grabbed it. Then, she swung it. Then, she saw Princess Changle draw a beautiful arc in the air and be thrown onto the street outside the general’s mansion.

The passersby on the street were stunned.

Princess Changle fell face-first. Her face was left with a scrape covered in red streaks.

Chu Qingzhi clapped her hands. Having tossed the garbage out of the mansion, even the air smelt fresh.

The new nanny of the General’s mansion walked over with worry and admiration. She bowed. “Greetings, Miss Chu.”

Chu Qingzhi sized up the nanny. She was dressed in brown and looked honest. “You are?”

The nanny smiled gently and said, “Miss Chu, my surname is Han. General brought me back to serve you.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and instructed, “Nanny Han, go to the market and buy some food. I’ll cook for Jinghong at noon.”

If she cooked, no matter how busy Tang Jinghong was, he would find time to come back and eat.

Nanny Han smiled and said, “I’ll go buy it immediately.”

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and said worriedly, “Miss Chu, you’ve thrown the princess out. With the princess’s personality, I’m afraid this matter won’t rest easily. Do you have a plan for what to do?

Chu Qingzhi said casually, “Nanny Han, don’t worry. I know what to do.”

Nanny Han nodded and said with relief, “That’s good.” With that, she left to buy food.

Chu Qingzhi walked towards the main courtyard. She was tired.

On the street, Princess Changle only reacted after a long time. She let out a wild cry like a pig being slaughtered. “Ahhh, my face!”

The passers-by looked at her sympathetically. She had fallen from such a high place and landed on her face. She did not break her bones and only got some bruises on her face, which was considered very lucky.

The palace maid went forward to help her. “Princess, let’s go to the Imperial Hospital and get the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for you. Your face will recover soon.”

Princess Changle pushed the palace maid away roughly and scolded, “Get lost. Why didn’t you stop Chu Qingzhi when she hit me just now?”

The palace maid was pushed to the ground. Her butt hurt so much that it became numb. She did not dare to move.

Princess Changle looked at the passersby around her. Infuriated, she berated, “What are you looking at? Scram! Scram for this princess!”

The passers-by left one after another. What kind of princess was this? She had no manners at all. She was simply embarrassing the royal family.

Princess Changle had never suffered such humiliation.. She gently covered her face and said fiercely, “Chu Qingzhi, I won’t let you off!”
