Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chu Yanluo felt cold in her heart. She didn't need to pretend anymore. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Xiao Qingyuan, you bastard! You promised me that you would make me your Crown Prince's Consort! Otherwise, how could I willingly live in the palace? Now that my reputation has been ruined by you, you are breaking your promise and want to make me your concubine! You are not a human being!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned even paler: "I didn't betray you, but this is a different time. I have no other choice. Besides, when you moved into the palace, didn't you know that I had married the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Chu Yanluo raised her voice: "So, you're saying I deserve it?"

"I didn't, please stop talking nonsense, okay? Yanluo, come back with me first. If we want to argue, we can do it at home. This is not the place to talk."

"I don't want to be a concubine!"

"Whether you become my concubine is entirely up to you, but this is the best way I can protect you. I really feel bad for you living in a place like this."

"If you really loved me, you wouldn't let me be your concubine!"

Chu Yanluo had long been tired of living here. This storage room was simply not a place for human habitation. If it was just a poor living environment it would be fine, but Yuan Zheng came to torture her from time to time. She simply felt worse than death!

She secretly asked people to send letters to Gu Qianhan several times, begging him to save her, but she didn't know whether the letters were not delivered or Gu Qianhan was unwilling to help. He has not given her any response until now.

Now, she can only rely on Xiao Qingyuan.

But she couldn't just follow Xiao Qingyuan so easily. She turned her head and leaned over the table and started crying.

Whenever she cried like this in the past, Xiao Qingyuan would rush to comfort her, but today, he didn't do anything.

He just stood there and watched her cry. He waited until she had cried enough before he spoke: "Yanluo, let's go back to the palace. It's getting dark. I promised Shen Wantang that I would be home before dark. I was able to come out today thanks to Shen Wantang's help. I can't break my promise to her."

Chu Yanluo's expression froze instantly, and a huge anger surged in his heart.

Shen Wantang, Shen Wantang, he only knows Shen Wantang now!

He could break his promise to her, but he couldn't break his promise to Shen Wantang! How could she not know that he could be so flexible in his promises!

She had realized that if she didn't return to Prince Ning's Mansion, Shen Wantang would not only take away her position as Crown Prince's Consort, but would also take away Xiao Qingyuan's heart!

Anyway, the situation has almost calmed down and it’s time to go back.

Chu Yanluo stood up and was about to follow Xiao Qingyuan out when someone suddenly walked in from outside.

Her pupils suddenly shrank. It was Yuan Zheng!

Her ribs and cheeks began to ache again. She had been traumatized by the beatings from Yuan Zheng these days, and she started to feel pain whenever she saw him.

She hurriedly stood behind Xiao Qingyuan, then reached out and pulled his sleeve, motioning him to leave quickly.

But Xiao Qingyuan didn't receive her signal to leave at all, and he suddenly retracted his foot!

"Yuan Zheng."

Xiao Qingyuan said, "Did you cause the wound on Yan Luo's face? What did you do to her? Did you bully her while I was injured?"

When Yuan Zheng saw that Xiao Qingyuan was actually standing here unharmed, he was secretly angry. The person his men hired was really unreliable and failed to kill Xiao Qingyuan!

He was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled bitterly: "Qingyuan, you and I are best brothers. How could I hit your woman? I am so sad that you misunderstood me like this!"

"Stop pretending here. You know what you have done! You'd better not hurt Yan Luo, otherwise, I will never let you go!"

"Qingyuan, I really didn't hurt her. She got hurt by herself. She said she wanted to develop some ointment and was using herself as a test subject. No matter how I tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen!"

Xiao Qingyuan turned to look at Chu Yanluo: "Is that so? Yanluo, tell the truth, I will take care of it for you. With me here, no one dares to bully you."

How could Chu Yanluo dare to tell the truth? If she told the truth today, she would be beaten to death by Yuan Zheng tomorrow!

She could only nod: "Mr. Yuan is right, I caused my injury myself. I am indeed developing an ointment, but I can't bear to use others as experiments, so I can only use myself as a test subject."

Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "Don't develop it. Just tell me what ointment you need. The palace has the best medicine for wounds. I will go to the palace to get it for you tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he walked out.

Chu Yanluo followed him closely, fearing that if she followed too slowly, she would be caught by Yuan Zheng.

The two of them left the utility room and were about to go downstairs when Yuan Zheng spoke again: "Sir, as a friend, I have something to say to you."

Xiao Qingyuan looked back at him: "I won't have a friend like you in the future."

Yuan Zheng smiled bitterly again: "Even if we are not friends, I still have to tell you that some women are just for fun, don't take them too seriously. If you want to live a good life, it is important to give your wife dignity. Everything else is just passing clouds."

Xiao Qingyuan ignored him and left with Chu Yanluo.

Yuan Zheng stood upstairs, watching the two of them leave, his face gradually becoming gloomy.

Damn Chu Yanluo, he ruined the high branch he had climbed with great difficulty! Originally Xiao Qingyuan treated him as his best brother, but now he has become his enemy!

Outside Qingyun Building, Chu Yanluo was helped by Xiao Qingyuan into the luxurious and spacious carriage of the palace.

The carriage was driven by a coachman, with eight palace guards leading the way in front and eight palace guards following behind, and they were moving towards Prince Ning's Palace in a mighty procession.

Chu Yanluo deliberately lifted the curtain and revealed her face.

Along the way, people kept exclaiming, "Look, it's the carriage from Prince Ning's mansion, and inside are Chu Yanluo and Prince Xiao!"

"Oh my God, Prince Xiao is not dead, he has taken Chu Yanluo back to the palace!"

"Prince Xiao is indeed infatuated. The first thing he did after he came back to life was to pick up Chu Yanluo. Chu Yanluo is so lucky to be loved by the prince like this!"

"Do you think that Prince Xiao will divorce his wife for her? He seemed to have threatened to divorce the prince's wife before!"

"Who knows! That prince's consort is really pitiful. She is suppressed by Chu Yanluo. Even though she has the title of prince's consort, she still can't get the love of a man. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, I'm afraid she will cry like a tearful person."

Chu Yanluo listened to the discussions outside and looked at the extremely imposing and grand ceremonial procession of the palace, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.

Yes, so what if Shen Wantang has the title of the Crown Prince's Consort? As long as she holds the Crown Prince's heart firmly and gives him a son, won't the palace belong to her in the future?

As she thought about this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

But Xiao Qingyuan, who was sitting next to her, was not in a good mood when he heard the discussions outside.

So these are the groundless rumors that Shen Wantang faces every day? She is obviously emotionally stable and gentle, and never complains about herself, but these people who don't know the truth say that she cries at night.

From now on, he will never talk nonsense outside again, and he must give Shen Wantang enough face no matter what.

After all, whether at home or outside, she really gave him enough face.

Soon, they returned to the palace.

As a result, as soon as he entered Xingheyuan, Chu Yanluo saw a stranger who was dressed exactly like him!

She felt all the blood in her body rushing to her head: "Xiao Qingyuan, who is this woman?!"
