Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1507 Ready to Start Anytime
Now, there is still some unease in her heart. Although she is very respectful to Chu Qianli, it is also clear that she is quite afraid of Chu Qianli.
"Sister-in-law, there’s no need to fear. Although the Princess seems a bit cold, in fact, she is a good person."
This is Chu Feiyan’s assessment of Chu Qianli.
It might sound somewhat impolite, but it also shows that she is completely convinced by Chu Qianli.
In the words, there was not a trace of past resentment or frustration.
Yet Ruji still dared not act unruly in front of Chu Qianli, after all, she was the Princess holding the power of life and death over them.
Chu Minghao looked at Chu Qianli, and for a moment, was filled with mixed feelings.
The past events replayed before his eyes, and in his heart, there were many words he wanted to say, explanations he wanted to give, and apologies he wanted to make.
But in the end, all that came out was: "Thank you, Your Highness the Princess!"
He had never seen such a magnanimous woman; even men couldn’t achieve such a level, yet she, Chu Qianli, had.
If it had been someone with a slightly narrower mind, how could they have allowed him to live until now?
The harm he did to her in the past was by no means trivial.
"As long as you sincerely repent and become a good person, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue in the future, the past will be like the clouds, all written off."
Faced with Chu Minghao, Chu Qianli always remained expressionless.
She was not aloof, yet there was absolutely no warmth.
She wasn’t feeling sorry for Chu Minghao. Someone like Chu Minghao, even if he began to repent now, was not worthy of her sympathy.
Her concern was only for the unborn child within Ruji’s womb.
"It’s getting late, let’s go." Chu Qianli waved her hand.
The guard immediately came over.
Chu Minghao knelt down, and Ruji hurriedly followed to kneel as well.
After the two of them respectfully kowtowed to Chu Qianli, they set off under the escort of the guard. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Chu Feiyan’s relationship with Chu Minghao wasn’t great before, but now, for some reason, she felt concerned and accompanied them as they left.
Though she couldn’t escort them to the frontier city, at least she could see them off outside the city gates.
As for Xi Jiu, he was a bit hesitant at first, but seeing that Chu Qianli hadn’t given any instructions, he followed Chu Feiyan as well.
He feared that when Chu Feiyan felt too sad, there would be no one to comfort her.
After everyone left, Yang Xun came over and whispered, "Princess, I’ve already arranged with the guards. On this journey, they will take extra care of them."
After all, with one injured and the other pregnant, if transported like ordinary criminals, they might not even make it to the frontier city alive.
"However, regarding this property contract..."
"Tell them to be watchful. If Chu Minghao treats Ruji poorly on the way, then there’s no need to give them the property contract."
Chu Qianli turned around and returned toward the palace.
"I understand," Yang Xun said.
Yang Xun looked at the property contract in his hand, feeling deeply moved.
Actually, the Princess wasn’t so heartless as to disregard people’s lives.
The Princess was the kindest person he had ever seen.
It’s just that she wasn’t a pushover.
...Chu Qianli returned to the palace, but instead of going to her own courtyard, she went straight to the Emperor’s sleeping palace.
The matter of the Heaven and Earth Lock was still something she needed to mention to Chu Wang.
The Fourth Prince had been very troubled lately, worrying about the Emperor’s illness on one hand, and on the other, fretting over rumors about the Heaven and Earth Lock.
Perhaps speaking of it could bring him some relief.
Unexpectedly, just as she walked into the Emperor’s sleeping palace, she saw a guard hurrying out.
Upon seeing Chu Qianli, the guard’s eyes lit up and he quickly approached: "Greetings, Princess!"
"Princess, Mr. Liujin has instructed me to inform you that everything you need is ready, and you can begin the... procedure at any time."
