Chapter Two

  " You!" Chen Yao furrowed her brow, her beautiful face filled with incredulity. How could Murong Yi possibly still be alive after half a time?! But she only panicked for a moment before quickly calming down and carefully observing Murong Yi.

  At this moment, Mu Rong Yi was disheveled, but just a moment ago, the stunning smile that captivated the city seemed to belong to another person. Was Mu Rong Yi trying to pull off some trick? She glanced around, including Gong Ying, who were all staring at her in shock and confusion.

  It is undeniable that Murong Yi is stunningly beautiful, if not for her secretly plotting and harming others in the past few years, Palace E might have already taken a liking to her. Recently, Murong Yi has become increasingly cautious, and people's first impression of her is that she is ruthless and poisonous, capable of doing anything to gain Palace E's favor. Who would still care about Murong Yi's breathtaking beauty?

  At this moment, Mu Rong's eyes shone with a soft light, and in those eyes that seemed to hold a faint smile, there was something more, yet something less.

  Gong Ling looked at Murong Yi with some surprise, unable to understand why she could still smile, and smiled so enchantingly and seductively. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, thinking that even at this time, she was still trying to entice him!

  Chu Xia, the current Murong Yi, didn't say a word, and retracted her earlier stunning smile. She suddenly thought of something, ignoring everyone's reaction, and walked towards the lake, lowering her head to gaze at the reflection on the calm lake surface. She looked carefully, as if she was the only person in the world, and the people around her were like air... no, more like a fart! Although the reflection wasn't clear, she could still make out that despite being disheveled, this body's appearance was unparalleled, breathtakingly beautiful, and stunning. She nodded slightly to herself, thinking it wasn't bad.

  Watching Murong Yi's strange behavior, everyone exclaimed, "Has the princess gone mad?"

  "Is the princess trying to shirk her responsibility?!"

  Someone whispered: "Heaven is blind, and a ruthless person like the princess can still live."

  It was probably the discussions of these bold lower-ranking officials that made Gong E and Chen Yao come to their senses.

  "What else can you explain?" Gong Lian's eyes shot out cold light, asking mercilessly.

  Chen Yao tightly hugged Gong Fei, her body naturally trembling, tears streaming down like they were free, her voice shaking as she spoke to Murong Yi's back: "Wangfei, I was really wrong."

  "A group of ducks." Murong Yi withdrew her gaze from the inverted reflection in the water, turned around, and looked at everyone with a calm gaze like a deep pool, including Gong Feng and Chen Yao. Then she spoke slowly and deliberately. Finally, her eyes fell on Chen Yao, and she added kindly, "No, there's also a chicken."

  "What do you mean?!" Gong Ling furrowed his thick eyebrows tightly, coldly pressing for an answer. After several years of military campaigns and dozens of battles on the battlefield, he had long been tempered into a sharp aura, and at this moment, he was filled with killing intent.

  The people below saw Gong Lian have a sign of anger, and they didn't dare to speak much, hastily lowering their heads. What would happen to the princess in the end had nothing to do with them. They just waited for a while before taking sticks to drive the princess out.

  Chen Yao didn't know why, but her heart skipped a beat. How could Murong Yi be so calm? There was no crying or shouting, nor any explanation as she had expected.

  She gazed at Gong Luan with a hint of reluctance, who was dressed in a bright purple brocade robe, his physique robust and tall, his features handsome yet cold. The first thing that caught her attention was the sword-like eyebrows that seemed to hold a killing intent, and the thin lips that were pressed together in impatience. It's no wonder that this body could make people infatuated, it's not bad at all. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell right from wrong! For someone like him, she had always lacked a bit of elegance and patience. Nevertheless, she still smiled politely with a symbolic smile, smiling elegantly: "Your Highness is so discerning, able to see through the smallest details, do you still need me to explain?"

  As soon as the words fell, Murong Yi looked at Chen Yao again. Her calm eyes, which seemed to have no ripples at all, fell on Chen Yao's body, making Chen Yao feel a moment of illusion, as if Murong Yi could see through all her thoughts!

  Murong Yixiao smiled and said, "I do have some appreciation for Miss Chen's cunning and bravery." It took a lot of effort to deceive everyone and bring shame to Murong Yi.

  "You..." Chen Yao felt more and more strange, what did Murong Yi want to do?! How could she think for half a day and still not know Murong Yi's thoughts? A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, no matter what tricks Murong Yi was playing now, at this point, she was getting closer and closer to what she wanted, how could she let Murong Yi turn the tables, today no matter what, she had to get rid of Murong Yi.

  Looking at Chen Yao's eyes sinking down, Murong Yi let out a snickering laugh, "Nervous?"

  "Your Highness..." Chen Yao suppressed the inexplicable unease in her heart and looked up at Gong Yang for help.

  Gong Ling's keen perception picked up on something being off, but Chen Yao's plea for help made him even more disgusted with Murong Yi. He was now certain that her strange behavior was an attempt to get his attention or change his mind. At this point, he coldly commanded in a voice devoid of any warmth: "Guards, escort Murong Yi out of the palace. From today on, she is no longer the Princess of Huainan."

  Murong Yi raised her eyes and swept the palace lightly, and her slightly pale face suddenly burst into a charming smile that was enough to turn people's heads upside down. "Where is the divorce paper?"

  Ting Yan, Gong Ling and Chen Yao were both stunned for a moment. It was clear that the two of them had been waiting for Murong Yi to kneel down and beg, but they never expected her to ask for a divorce so lightly.

  "Is it that I spoke too gently, or are you all too foolish? Since you didn't hear clearly, I'll kindly repeat myself. This Huainan Wangfu is full of livestock, the stench is overwhelming, and it's really hard to stay here. Therefore, I trouble the wise and mighty Huainan King to do a good deed and give me a divorce paper, so I can leave this place early." Murong Yi's movements were extremely elegant as she tidied up her slightly disheveled hair, her eyes coldly staring at Gong Wang.

  Her eyes were clearly cold, but her eye corners and mouth corners still had a hint of a smile.

  Everyone was shocked. Did the princess know what she was saying?! How dare she be so presumptuous, not putting the king in her eyes, and... and also actively asking for a divorce letter?!

  Jingyu was furious, and Murong Yi actually dared to insult him!

  Chen Yao's face turned iron-green as she suppressed her anger and said: "Princess, how can you insult the prince like that?"

  "Hmm, just sit down." Murong Yi's face was calm and serene, with a hint of indifference.

  "Are you trying to retreat in order to advance?" Gong Ying suppressed his anger, not hiding his disdain for Murong Yi, and asked in a low voice.

  Chen Yao saw Gong Ling questioning Murong Yi, and her heart was tense. She immediately gave a look to the maid standing at the back of the crowd, and that maid quietly retreated upon seeing it.

  Murong's eyebrows slightly moved, a cold and gloomy aura brewing in her eyes. She looked at Gong Ling with disdain and asked, "Are you worthy?" To retreat is to advance? Gong Ling overestimated himself!
