A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 61 Threatening the King

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that before you married her, you promised me that when the time was right, you would divorce her and marry me in a grand ceremony? You also said that you would never let me down in this life!" She looked at him with extremely resentful eyes, using a questioning tone, her voice almost choked!

"Xue'er..." Chu Junye quickly grasped her hand and called out to her anxiously. His face seemed shrouded in dark clouds. His brows were furrowed, forming deep furrows. Still, he patiently continued to soothe her:

"After all, Duo'er is my first wife. If I divorce her, not only will the civil and military officials be dissatisfied with me, but my father will also have some opinions about me. Don't worry, if you enter the palace, all the affairs of the palace will be handed over to you! If I take you as my equal wife, your status will not be lower than Duo'er's."

His words made Zhu Qingxue really want to kill him. At this moment, tears had already rolled down her face. The corners of her mouth drooped and trembled slightly. Her face was full of sorrow, which made people feel pity for her.

"Yes! Marrying a wife and taking a concubine has been a tradition since ancient times! Although I, Zhu Qingxue, am only a little girl, I also have my own dignity! I will never be someone's concubine in this life! Your Highness, please go back."

All her dissatisfaction and anger were retorted back, and Chu Junye's face had become gloomy at this moment. He was thinking, what's wrong with being his co-wife?

"Xue'er, how could I bear to let you be my concubine? You're my equal wife! If I ever take the throne, I'll definitely make you my queen! Duo'er only gave her the rank of Imperial Concubine, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Chu Junye's tone was a little colder this time.

Zhu Qingxue sneered, squinting her eyes at him, and withdrew her hand, taking two steps back! Her tone was icy as she said, "Heh... Your Highness, you've probably forgotten that you had the support of my father and brothers in the previous dynasty. Without their support, how confident would you be in ascending to the highest position?"

Her words were like a sharp knife, piercing Chu Junye's heart. His face became even uglier, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"I will naturally not forget the support of your father and brother, but what does this have to do with our relationship? If you use this matter to threaten me, then your wishful thinking is wrong. Do you think I only rely on your father and brother?" Chu Junye's tone was extremely cold at this moment.

Zhu Qingxue shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads from a broken string. Chu Junye turned and left, leaving Zhu Qingxue standing there alone.

He would never give others the opportunity to threaten him. Zhu Qingxue had already stepped on his minefield. He had his own snobbery and did not blindly trust the Prime Minister. Therefore, he was disappointed with Zhu Qingxue at the moment.

After he left, Zhu Qingxue yelled angrily, then picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground. In an instant, most of the items in the room fell to the ground along with her anger.

Xiao Tao tried to stop her, "Miss, don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself." Xiao Tao tried to persuade her worriedly and grabbed her.

But Zhu Qingxue slapped Xiaotao in the face with her backhand, "Pa..."

Xiao Tao immediately burst into tears and quickly knelt on the ground begging for mercy, "Miss, please calm down!"

Zhu Qingxue pursed her lips, her face flushed red, and the tense lines revealed strong dissatisfaction and resentment.

"Yi Duoer, it's all your fault! It's all because of you! Aye treats me like this. I hate you!" Zhu Qingxue cursed with her eyes wide open!

The noise here attracted Zhu Yunwei. As soon as he entered the house, he found that it was already a mess. He came to her side anxiously, grabbed her hand and checked to see if she was injured!

Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved. "You go down first!" Zhu Yunwei asked Xiaotao to go down first. Xiaotao's eyes were red, and she left the room politely.

Zhu Yunwei first offered some comfort and asked what had happened. Why did Chu Junye suddenly leave? Zhu Qingxue couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

After a while, Zhu Qingxue calmed down and sat down again, explaining to Zhu Yunwei what had just happened.

After Zhu Yunwei learned the whole story, he knew that it was all because of Yi Duoer. He was naturally angry at her, but he still analyzed it to her slowly:

"You shouldn't have clashed with the Night King about this matter. It's really disadvantageous to you! You shouldn't have used me and my father as an excuse! This is equivalent to threatening him in disguise, planting a thorn in his heart. Chu Junye is a man of deep scheming and secretly has his own snobbishness."

"Besides, even if my father and I turn around and support another prince, the chances of winning are not very high. If he ascends the throne, he will inevitably attack my Zhu Mansion!"

After hearing these words, Zhu Qingxue finally woke up from her dream. She regretted it and began to panic. "Brother! What should we do now?"

Zhu Yunwei sneered, his face darkening as he confidently said, "Since they've named you a concubine, you can agree to it first. Wait until Yi Duo'er dies. You'll be his only wife! Since he's not devoted to you, you don't have to be sincere to him. Just be the queen who rules the country!"

So the two of them colluded with each other, and Zhu Yunwei told her not to worry, that he would take care of everything, and he would not let Zhu Qingxue do anything, nor would he let her dirty her hands. After comforting Zhu Qingxue, Zhu Yunwei left the room!

An Tingfeng (Jiang Lin) had been standing for a long time on a crooked tree outside the cold courtyard, keeping a close eye on every move within. He hadn't expected her to have a special relationship with the Regent.

After Yi Duoer fell asleep, An Tingfeng quietly slipped in. While Yi Duoer was still sleeping, he blew some soul-stirring smoke into the house. After doing all this.

Just as he was about to push the door open, a sharp sword shot straight in front of him. An Tingfeng was startled and immediately tilted his head back and retreated several meters.

Qiu Chan raised his sword and attacked him with a sharp look in his eyes. At this moment, An Tingfeng was dressed in black. The two exchanged several moves, but it was difficult to determine the winner.

"Who are you, you thief? How dare you assassinate my young lady? You're courting death!"

An Tingfeng had never thought that the maidservants around Yi Duoer were all so skilled in martial arts. So he flew out of the courtyard, and Qiu Chan followed him out.

The two exchanged a few more moves, but gradually, Qiu Chan was clearly at a disadvantage. An Tingfeng saw that he would not be able to find the envelope today, so he flew away in the blink of an eye.

Qiu Chan wanted to chase after him, but his opponent's Qinggong was quite good, so he couldn't catch up for a while. So he returned to the cold courtyard! He quickly went into the room to check on Yi Duo'er's safety. Fortunately, she was fine! If there was anything, I really couldn't explain it to my master.

Qiu Chan looked at Yi Duo'er sleeping with her legs spread out, feeling somewhat helpless. Was she really the daughter of an official? Puzzled, she still carefully tucked her back in. Then she sat beside her bed and dozed off.
