Chapter 153 The fate between Crown Prince Weiben and Wan'er has come to an end.
To say that she felt no emotion would be self-deception. At this moment, Li Shuyao felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart and instantly spread throughout her body.
"Guards! Execute those three fools on the ground right here and now!"
With a furious shout, Ye Jingchu, now fully awake, stared intently at the three men on the ground.
When he saw them doing those despicable things, his anger erupted like a volcano!
He could hardly believe that he had just been able to commit adultery with two other women under such circumstances! Thinking about it, he felt a deep sense of self-loathing.
Immediately afterwards, several guards rushed in upon hearing the commotion, swiftly executed the three men, and dragged their bodies out of the room without mercy.
The entire scene was deathly silent, as if even the air itself had frozen.
Ye Jingchu dressed herself up and covered Li Sisi and Li Yanran with a blanket!
"Come in, everyone!" Ye Jingchu then let the people outside the door in.
The group entered the room, and the smell inside was awful!
"Your Highness, what... what's going on?" the Right Chancellor inquired.
Li Shuyao stared at Ye Jingchu expressionlessly!
"Waaaaah!..." Li Yanran burst into tears! She looked at Minister Li with teary eyes!
"Father, I don't know why this is happening!" Li Yanran cried.
The Oriental Pearl Tower is furious!
"You shameless slut, you've already slept in Brother Jingchu's bed, and you're still acting pitiful here. Who are you trying to fool? You have no shame!"
"I really do not know!"
"Sister, why are you crying? It was clearly..." Li Sisi wanted to say that Dongfang Wan'er had knocked her unconscious!
"Sisi...we've been drugged, we don't know anything!"
Li Yanran quickly stopped her. If Li Sisi revealed that it was Dongfang Wan'er who knocked out the two sisters, then things would get complicated. Why were the two sisters knocked out by Dongfang Wan'er in the first place?
Li Sisi also realized what was happening!
Dongfang Wan'er watched Li Sisi and Li Yanran with great interest, wanting to see what Li Yanran would say. Unexpectedly, she didn't reveal her own identity. It seems that she is indeed quite clever and also wants to marry Ye Jingchu!
"What is 'Mingming'? Li Sisi, just tell me!" Dongfang Mingzhu wanted to know why things had turned out this way, but was stopped by Li Yanran!
"I don't know, I don't know anything!" Li Sisi kept shaking her head!
"You're lying! It should be Dongfang Wan'er here, how could it be you..." Dongfang Mingzhu blurted out the secret!
"Why am I here, Mingzhu? You were the one who lured those people here in the first place, weren't you? So, you were the one who drugged me. You wanted to harm me, Mingzhu, how cruel you are!" Dongfang Wan'er bluntly stated...
Ye Jingchu also understood the gist of the matter. It was obvious that Dongfang Mingzhu was responsible for today's incident. She was more trouble than she was worth. If Wan'er and he had succeeded, Dongfang Mingzhu would have done a good job. The mistake was that this stupid woman did not tell him and dared to find other men to defile Wan'er. It was simply intolerable!
"Enough!" Ye Jingchu finally couldn't contain his anger. He stared wide-eyed at the Oriental Pearl Tower in front of him, as if he were about to breathe fire.
The Oriental Pearl Tower trembled with fear at his sudden outburst of anger!
"I understand this matter, Mingzhu. Considering you are my concubine, I will not pursue this further. However..."
At this point, he turned his gaze to Minister Li, whose face was as pale as paper, and continued in a firm tone: "Minister Li, since things have developed to this point, you can rest assured that I, the Crown Prince, will definitely marry both of them into my household!"
Upon hearing this, Minister Li's heart sank. Originally, he had wholeheartedly wanted to marry his beloved daughter, Li Yanran, to a prince so she could become his principal wife, but now he had ended up like this.
Thinking of this, he was overcome with grief and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, Yanran is the legitimate daughter of my Li family! How can she be a concubine?!"
However, Ye Jingchu seemed unconcerned about Minister Li's request, and instead responded indifferently, "Then let her be made a concubine, second only to the Crown Princess. Such an arrangement should be reasonable, right? So, who is the other woman?"
Minister Li hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, she is my illegitimate daughter. Although she is illegitimate, I have always treated her well, and her clothing, food, and housing are no different from Yanran's."
"Alright, I already know." Ye Jingchu seemed a little impatient and waved his hand to indicate that Minister Li did not need to say anything more.
Seeing this, Minister Li could only shake his head helplessly, bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. This old minister thanks Your Highness on behalf of Yanran and Sisi. This old minister will take his leave now!" After saying that, he turned and left, his steps appearing unusually heavy.
Seeing that things were almost over, Dongfang Wan'er, who was standing to the side, was also preparing to leave when...
A sharp shout rang out: "Wan'er!" It was Ye Jingchu who had called out to her.
Dongfang Wan'er stared at Ye Jingchu with a sorrowful, as if she had been deeply wounded, her lips trembling slightly but she did not utter a word. Then she silently turned and left.
Her lonely figure walked further and further away until it disappeared into the night.
At this moment, Ye Jingchu stood frozen in place as if under a spell, his mind replaying everything that had just happened.
He knew all too well that the once deep and profound love between him and Wan'er had shattered like a mirage and could never be salvaged.
Gazing in the direction Wan'er had gone, an overwhelming sense of melancholy welled up within him: "Wan'er..."
Suddenly, a nameless rage surged within him. Ye Jingchu strode forward and, without hesitation, raised his hand and slapped Dongfang Mingzhu hard across her beautiful cheek.
A crisp "snap" was heard, clear and loud, echoing in the air.
The Oriental Pearl Tower was utterly astonished, staring wide-eyed at Ye Jingchu in disbelief, tears instantly welling up in its eyes.
Her voice trembled as she asked, "Brother Jingchu? How could you do this to me? Why?" Her sorrowful and resentful expression was heartbreaking.
Seeing this, Dongfang Zheng hurriedly cried out, "Your Highness! Please calm down!"
Hearing the shout, Ye Jingchu snapped out of his daze, realizing that his impulsive behavior had been somewhat out of control. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his eyes still flashed with anger.
"Lord Dongfang, now that things have come to this, only our own people remain here. I'm sure everyone knows perfectly well who was behind this. But what's puzzling is why it was me and the two Miss Li who fell into this trap? Is there some hidden story behind this? In my opinion, this slap wasn't unjustified, was it?" Ye Jingchu stared intently at Dongfang Zheng, her tone icy.
