CHAPTER 615: CHAPTER 202: SONG YANQING, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COLD-BLOODED RUTHLESSNESS!

Ye Qichi’s words, one by one, entered Song Yanqing’s ears.

He looked at Ye Qichi.

Despite trying to maintain a calm face, one could still see a trace of pain.

Yet he said nothing.

As if he had heard shocking news.

Or perhaps, it was just an illusion.

"Princess." Behind him, Xiao Jinsen’s voice sounded.

Song Yanqing lowered his eyes.

Hiding all the emotions in the depths of his eyes.

Ye Qichi also shifted her gaze away from Song Yanqing’s body.

The pain or not.

The regret or not.

The guilt or not.

After all, one knows their feelings best.

She turned her eyes to Xiao Jinsen.

Every time she saw this man, she felt repulsion.

Indeed, a major villain is always detestable.

She forced herself to pay her respects, "Prince of Chu."

"Why is the Princess at the palace gate? Didn’t the emperor ask you to take the pulse of Concubine Qin?" Xiao Jinsen asked deliberately.

Ye Qichi could obviously tell that he was prying about Concubine Qin’s condition.

Ye Qichi said with a smile, "Because Concubine Qin is all well, it is just normal pregnancy reactions, so there is no need to take the pulse for too long."

Xiao Jinsen listened to what Ye Qichi said.

Still, there was an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

Ye Qichi could see that too.

"What were you and Yanqing talking about?" Xiao Jinsen changed his tone and asked.

"Just chatting casually." Ye Qichi replied.

"Just chatting casually?" Xiao Jinsen’s eyes tightened, glancing at Song Yanqing, "Why do I feel that the Princess is bullying our top scorer?"

"Prince of Chu, you overstate it," Ye Qichi appeared composed, "Simply speaking of Song the Scholar’s ex-wife."

"Ex-wife?" Xiao Jinsen frowned.

"Xie Ruotong," Ye Qichi stated directly.

Xiao Jinsen sneered sarcastically, "Yanqing never liked Miss Xie of the Xie Family, a divorce was the best choice. By the way, Yanqing, did you tell Ye Qichi?"

Song Yanqing’s body visibly shuddered.

But he still kept his composure to answer, "Since it is a private matter, I do not wish to bother the Princess with it."

Ye Qichi frowned.

What is Xiao Jinsen trying to say?!

It definitely isn’t anything good.

"You worry too much. Miss Xie was rescued by the Princess, and given your close relationship with her, it’s natural that you be informed about her issues and tell Miss Xie in turn," Xiao Jinsen said maliciously.

Ye Qichi felt more than ever that whatever this man spoke was not something good.

"Yes." Song Yanqing was respectful.

He could only obey Xiao Jinsen.

He looked up at Ye Qichi and said, "I have made Xie Ruilin my principal wife."

Ye Qichi frowned.

Still processing the meaning of "making principal."

Xiao Jinsen added, "It means that after Song Yanqing and Xie Ruotong divorced, Xie Ruilin became Song Yanqing’s official wife."

Ye Qichi’s eyes tightened.

At that moment, she really couldn’t hide her emotions.

She just stared at Song Yanqing.

Song Yanqing could feel Ye Qichi’s gaze.

Yet he remained silent.

Indiscernible, any emotion.

Xiao Jinsen, however, really enjoyed Ye Qichi’s angry demeanor.

He always felt this woman, with every move and every word, was vividly alive, giving him an inexplicable impulse.

"Is the Princess unable to accept it?" Xiao Jinsen deliberately fanning the flames.

Ye Qichi gritted her teeth.

Really wanted to slap that scumbag Song’s face.

Xie Ruotong was so severely injured for her sake, yet he still, gave everything to Xie Ruilin.

"Really such a sincere heart, fed to the dogs!" Ye Qichi, sarcastically.

Song Yanqing just stayed silent.

Given his status, he could not offer any rebuttal.

Internally.

He wouldn’t rebut either.

"Song Yanqing." Ye Qichi slightly calmed down before speaking.

Song Yanqing respectfully, "Your servant is here."

"I thank you on behalf of Xie Ruotong."

Song Yanqing’s Adam’s apple moved.

Ultimately, he did not respond to her.

"Thank you for your cold-blooded ruthlessness!" Ye Qichi gritted her teeth.

Thinking of what Song Yanqing had done, she still spoke out against injustice for Xie Ruotong.

Song Yanqing silently, responded once again.

"Let’s go, Song Yanqing." Xiao Jinsen suddenly ordered.

There were important matters to discuss, and they could not afford to waste more time.

Despite.

Xiao Jinsen glanced at Ye Qichi, ultimately harboring a shred of, reluctance.

This woman.

This only woman whom he hated to the core, yet couldn’t bear to kill just like that.

Someday.

He would make this woman bow down before him!

...

Prince’s palace.

Song Yanqing followed Xiao Jinsen to the mansion.

Xiao Jinsen greatly valued Song Yanqing, so many matters were discussed with him.

This close relationship, naturally, Xiao Jinsen could not allow Song Yanqing to have even a slight "blemish".

Now that Xie Ruotong had been removed, there were no hesitations left in trusting Song Yanqing fully.

Moreover, by forcing Song Yanqing to officially elevate Xie Ruilin, it was also evident, Song Yanqing’s loyalty to him.

Xiao Jinsen informed Song Yanqing about the emperor summoning him and Xiao Jinxing today, asking them to choose whether to go to the border, and asked Song Yanqing to analyze the situation and offer advice.

After hearing this, Song Yanqing pondered for a moment and replied, "Your servant thinks that the Prince should take the initiative to volunteer to fight at the border."

Xiao Jinsen’s brow tightened.

Obviously.

Song Yanqing’s differing views made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"The emperor gave you and the Princess a choice, surely to see if you both have the commitment in front of state affairs. If the Prince chooses to evade now, the emperor will surely be disappointed, directly affecting the Prince’s status in the emperor’s eyes. Moreover, your servant heard that Concubine Qin is pregnant, and the emperor’s attention is more focused on Concubine Qin. Your servant is not saying that Imperial Concubine is no longer favored, but if the emperor is disappointed with the Prince now, and his mind is all on Concubine Qin, the Imperial Concubine might not be able to plead well for the Prince," Song Yanqing sincerely said.

It seemed tactful, but Xiao Jinsen naturally understood Song Yanqing’s meaning.

The meaning was now that if he does not perform well, his mother cannot perfectly protect him, and it’s easy to incur the emperor’s dissatisfaction.

It would also affect, his future development.

Indeed, he had considered these.

"For this Prince to voluntarily volunteer to fight at the border, the Prince feels that, the damage is greater." Xiao Jinsen expressed his thoughts.

"Your servant doesn’t think so." Song Yanqing straightforwardly rebutted, "If the Prince goes to the border and establishes great military merits, repelling foreign invaders, the Prince would definitely earn the emperor’s respect anew. Coupled with the support of the Imperial Concubine, the Prince could be more readily established as the Crown Prince, and it’s only natural for the Imperial Concubine to then be crowned as the Empress. After all, the emperor’s interest in Concubine Qin, your servant thinks, is just temporary."

"The Prince is worried that Xiao Jinxing will take advantage while the Prince is away."

"The Imperial Concubine is still in the palace, the Princess cannot easily succeed. Conversely, if the Princess leaves, it is a wasted effort!"
