Chapter 94: The Target Was Not Him
Li Xuanyue: “…”
Was this still the Consort Lang she remembered? Shouldn’t he be dashing and refined? Speaking methodically? How did he learn the tactics of a shrew making a scene?
Junhe and Fengyi were equally stunned by this move.
When everyone was fighting fiercely just now, he hadn’t even frowned. Now that they had stopped, he started selling his misery?
Langhua ignored their stares. He was extremely unhappy right now. Especially considering the moment he was chased around like a rat by Junmo and Li Qinghe’s men. That wretched appearance had been fully seen by them.
Now, he didn’t want to maintain his image of a refined gentleman anymore. He only wanted to seize this opportunity to skin Li Qinghe and Junmo alive.
“Look, look at how they beat this subject! My fine blue brocade has been slashed into eight pieces… How can this subject wear this out to see anyone?!”
“And this subject’s face!”
Finally, Langhua didn’t forget to grab Li Xuanyue’s hand and point to his left cheek, continuing his accusation. “That guard almost pierced right through it! If the Princess and Consort Jun hadn’t arrived quickly, this subject fears… he would have long since perished like a delicate flower!”
Although Langhua’s words contained more exaggeration than truth, he was right about one thing: if Li Xuanyue and Junhe hadn’t come today, he certainly would have died here.
Thus, after he finished speaking, Li Xuanyue’s face turned frosty.
“Second Prince, shouldn’t you give this Princess an explanation for this matter?”
Li Xuanyue didn’t care if it was Langhua’s fault. The fact that they made her person look this miserable meant it was their fault.
Junmo felt a heaviness in his chest meeting Langhua’s spirited, arrogant expression.
“For the Princess to ask this Prince for an explanation without asking for the cause and effect first… isn’t that a bit unreasonable?” he spoke slowly, suppressing the sullenness in his heart.
Who was Junmo? The Second Prince of the Snake Clan. He was always the one demanding answers from others. Being asked to explain by Li Xuanyue in front of so many people was a first.
To say he wasn’t angry would be a lie. But standing on Phoenix Clan territory, Junmo couldn’t strike a stone with an egg. The best method was to stay calm and explain the matter level-headedly.
“Princess, this matter is not this subject’s fault,” Langhua hurriedly stepped forward to emphasize. “The cause and effect is simply that the Second Prince does not recognize a good heart. This subject came specifically to Minghua Palace to care for him.”
“I even brought him books and food related to pregnancy. Yet the Second Prince turned around and claimed this subject insulted him, sending guards to capture me.”
Li Xuanyue frowned.
If it were as simple as Langhua’s few sentences, why would Junmo send guards to capture him? There must be other hidden details.
However, as a man, it was awkward for Junmo to speak of it. So when Langhua said this in front of Li Xuanyue, Junmo shouted in anger.
“A pack of nonsense!”
His sharp snake eyes shot toward Langhua like curved blades, looking as if he wanted to eat him.
Langhua wore an expression of utter indifference. Let him accuse all he wanted. He was the one injured right now. Even if Junmo spoke until the sky broke, it was useless.
Junmo calmed his breath and pressed Li Xuanyue. “Princess Xuanyue, do you truly believe his one-sided story?”
Li Xuanyue naturally couldn’t fully believe it, but she couldn’t dismantle Langhua’s stage either. After all, he was her person in name. Would she be foolish enough to hand Langhua’s vulnerability to the opponent so they could make things difficult for her?
Was she stupid?
“Then, Second Prince, why don’t you tell us what exactly happened?”
Li Xuanyue generously handed the floor to Junmo.
The thing that made it hard for him to speak was likely the matter of his pregnancy belly growing large. One had to admit, Langhua was fast, accurate, and ruthless in hitting the opponent’s weak spot. He made it hard for the opponent to speak and unsure of how to phrase it.
As a result, Li Xuanyue stood there waiting for a long time, yet Junmo didn’t utter a single sentence. His face turned green, then white.
Clearly, he couldn’t bring himself to repeat the insults Langhua had whispered in his ear about what a big belly felt like.
Li Xuanyue had counted on this exact point when she chose to make things difficult for him. Junmo’s silence was exactly what she wanted. How could she not be happy?
“What does the Second Prince’s silence mean?” she asked, her face feigning frost. “Is it that you don’t wish to explain, or is the truth exactly as Consort Lang said?”
“He kindly cared for you, you didn’t appreciate it, and instead deliberately sent people to capture him?”
Junmo opened his mouth, desperately wanting to defend himself. But the thought of Langhua’s words about his belly forced him to endure.
In the end, he could only stand there, clenching his fists, face iron-blue, sulking alone.
Seeing Junmo silent for so long, Li Qinghe guessed what insults Langhua must have whispered. Her eyes darkened, and her gaze toward Langhua turned ruthless.
“Sister, leave a line in everything so we can meet amicably in the future. You understand this principle, don’t you?”
Li Qinghe withdrew her gaze and looked slowly at Li Xuanyue. “This Consort Lang of yours is clearly not a virtuous type!”
Li Qinghe’s words were incredibly blunt, practically pointing at Langhua’s nose and calling him evil-hearted.
This upset Langhua.
“Hey, by your meaning, is my concern for people a mistake now?”
“Princess, look at them. Their words are so chilling.”
Langhua cried misery with his mouth, but his eyes were filled with a smile he couldn’t wipe away.
“If I had known, this Young Master wouldn’t have come. Now look, I’m left with injuries all over, and they don’t even remember my kindness.”
“Princess, this subject’s heart is truly bitter!”
Junhe: “…” If his heart is bitter, then aren’t Junmo and Li Qinghe’s hearts even more bitter right now?
Both were suffering in silence, forced to let Langhua spout nonsense.
Li Xuanyue steadied her mind, took a deep breath, and spoke.
“I will report this matter in full detail to the Mother Empress.”
She assumed an air of impartiality. “Of course, if the Second Prince can apologize to this Princess’s Consort Lang right now, we can turn this big issue into a small one, and the small one into nothing.”
After all, the person she wanted to target wasn’t him.
“As for her!”
At this point, Li Xuanyue suddenly shifted her gaze to Li Qinghe. And the “her” she spoke of could be no one else.
Li Qinghe hadn’t expected the conversation to suddenly shift to her. This immediately raised her guard against Li Xuanyue.
“You were disrespectful to this Princess just now, and you sent people to injure my Consort. Calculating these one by one, they are all capital crimes.”
“However, considering the sisterly affection between us, just slap your mouth thirty times, then kneel outside this Minghua Palace for three days and nights.”
