Chapter 298 Avenging My Sister

"Did you really do this?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Churen was overjoyed to learn that it was Su Wanshi's betrayal that had caused Xiao Wang's serious injury.

During this time, he was demoted to a county prince because of Xiao Wang's report, and he had been feeling uncomfortable.

Seeing that Prince Xiao was so badly injured, he was naturally delighted. Moreover, since the injury was inflicted by the Crown Prince, Prince Xiao would inevitably resent the Crown Prince, and the two of them would definitely fight to the death.

"Yes, I don't want to see Prince Xiao receive help from the Chu family again, so I immediately went to tell the Crown Princess. Only if they fight against Prince Xiao can Your Highness reap the benefits!"

Su Wanshi nodded repeatedly, her heart pounding with anxiety.

I don't know if her words will move Xiao Churen.

"Hmm, you did well. I have wronged you in the past."

Sure enough, Xiao Churen's attitude towards Su Wanshi suddenly changed because of this incident.

He felt that Su Wanshi still loved him. Although this woman was not as likable as before, he should still pamper her a little more because of what she had done for him.

So, Xiao Churen, unusually, stepped forward and picked Su Wanshi up in his arms.

"You've worked hard these past few days, I will reward you handsomely!"

Su Wanshi nestled in Xiao Churen's arms, her anxious heart finally relaxing. When he wasn't looking, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

They are so easily fooled; no wonder they lost their kingdom to Prince Xiao in their past life!

But this is good too. She can stay by the side of the King of Chu and help the King of Xiao deal with him and the Crown Prince. In the end, she will be a great contributor to the King of Xiao!

"Liu Ren, who do you think did this to Prince Xiao?"

Emperor Wenjian learned of Prince Xiao's words from the eunuch, and naturally began to suspect which prince or nobleman had harmed Prince Xiao.

But he couldn't figure out which one it was, so he pondered while asking the head eunuch beside him.

"This... this old servant doesn't know either."

The eunuch Liu Ren asked in confusion and shook his head.

He wouldn't dare to casually talk about something like that.

If this were to accidentally reach the ears of a prince, wouldn't that be offending someone?

Within this imperial palace compound, it's hard to guarantee that there aren't any spies or informants, or that someone might have been bribed to leak information.

Do you think it's the King of Chu?

Emperor Wenjian, seeing that he did not know, then asked someone else.

"King Chu? Perhaps the two of them had a conflict some time ago, and it seems that King Chu has a reasonable reason for doing this. But King Chu is not stupid, and he probably wouldn't do this at this critical moment."

Liu Ren analyzed.

"What you said makes some sense. If it's not the King of Chu, could it be the Crown Prince or King Cheng?"

Emperor Wenjian asked again.

In fact, he really wanted to know which of his sons was so cruel as to be able to do such a thing to his own brother.

“The Crown Prince has been very respectful to his brothers lately, and he even pleaded for Prince Xiao last time, so he probably won’t do anything like that. As for Prince Cheng, he seems to have no interest in politics, and I haven’t heard of any conflict between him and Prince Xiao. He doesn’t seem like it either.”

Liu Ren shook his head again.

It's neither this nor that, so who could it be?

After his own analysis, Liu Ren also became curious.

Emperor Wenjian talked with the eunuch Liu Ren for a long time, but ultimately came to no conclusion.

Although Xiao Wang's intention in saying that was to make Emperor Wenjian suspect his brother, he failed to target any specific person, and the matter ultimately came to nothing.

Throughout history, bloodshed has been inevitable in the struggle for the throne, and Emperor Wenjian could only attribute this incident to the incompetence of Prince Xiao.

Unfortunately, Prince Xiao was unaware of the image he had left in Emperor Wenjian's mind, and thought that his ambiguous words would affect Xiao Ye and the others.

Meanwhile, bloodshed was also raging on the Regent's side.

After Gao Yufei was freed from the curse, she learned that her innocence had been given to a nobody. She first angrily killed the servant, and then she completely broke down.

She neither eats nor drinks, and just sits in the mansion in a daze, sometimes even going crazy, which greatly worries Gao Junning.

"Sister, don't go on like this. You're a princess, why are you afraid of not being able to get married? When we return to the Northern Desert, you can choose any man you want!"

In the courtyard, Gao Yufei slumped down, holding a wine jug and sipping it slowly.

His hair was disheveled, his outer garment was torn, and he looked utterly disheveled.

Gao Junning couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward, snatched the wine pot from her hand, and angrily advised her.

"Give me the wine jug! I'm not interested in those men!"

Gao Yufei, drunk, reached out to snatch the wine jug back from Gao Junning's hand and shouted irritably.

"Sister, you're not interested in them? Are you still hung up on the Crown Prince of Liang? But if he doesn't like you, can't you just find someone else? There are plenty of other men in the world!"

Gao Junning was furious.

He really didn't understand, was Xiao Ye really that good?

Although he is good-looking and capable, is it really necessary for him to treat his sister like this?

"What's the use of being heartbroken over him? I'm already tainted. Letting that filthy scoundrel defile my body, I've long lost interest in men!"

Gao Yufei cried out.

Actually, she wasn't still hung up on Xiao Ye, but rather heartbroken that her precious body had been defiled by a nobody.

No one knew that she, who appeared arrogant and noble on the surface, actually had a severe case of mysophobia.

She was devastated when she learned that her proud and noble body had been defiled by a lowly commoner from Daliang.

"You...you mean you're no longer interested in the Crown Prince of Liang? You're just upset about being..."

Upon hearing his sister's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Gao Junning's eyes.

He would help her with anything except getting the Crown Prince of Liang.

If my sister is bothered by the fact that she was violated, then I will avenge her.

"Yes, I don't want to marry the Crown Prince of Liang at all now! He's ruined me like this, how could I possibly want to marry him? I hate them, they've ruined me!"

Gao Yufei said indignantly.

At first, Xiao Ye was the only man she wanted to marry out of all the men she had ever met, but after she was ruined like this, she lost all interest in romance.

She wanted revenge, but her father wouldn't help her, saying that this was on Daliang territory and it wasn't appropriate to take action against them.

So, she could only drown her sorrows in alcohol every day.

"Since you hate them, then your brother will avenge you. This is also because your brother failed to protect you."

Gao Junning felt relieved and said seriously.

"But Father said we can't touch the Crown Prince of Liang, how will you avenge me?"

Gao Yufei didn't believe Gao Junning at all, thinking he was just trying to fool her.

But Gao Junning suddenly smiled sinisterly and said, "Who said I was going to touch the Crown Prince? Father said the Crown Prince cannot be touched, but he didn't say the Crown Princess cannot be touched."
