THE EVIL PRINCE AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
Chapter 17 – Prince Jing's Poison Plan

The sun set behind the eastern mountains, red clouds filled the sky, and the pieces of gold reflected from the surface of the clear water faded.

Along the banks of the river, lush green grass forms beautiful bushes in the eye. A hint of red completes the grass like the eyes of a dotted dragon, bringing greenery to life around it.

However, the red was from the flowers, but the wedding robe was red. His owner lying in the bushes, his thin and tall body revealing that he was a man. But his black silk hair covered his face, blocking most of it, not letting anyone see his appearance clearly.

Suddenly, her eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, his eyes had a momentary mist then gradually became sharp. He suddenly sat down, his black hair falling on his back revealing his handsome face – it was Prince Jing Ye Yichen!

The surroundings were silent, without a single soul. The red bridal robe stuck to her skin made her very uncomfortable. Ye Yichen flicked his finger and a thin mist surrounded his body before immediately disappearing. The red wedding robe was fresh and cool, and not the slightest bit uncomfortable anymore.

Ye Yichen slowly stood up. A deep internal force quickly circulated through his tendons, unobstructed. He quietly sighed in relief - He did not know how to swim and after falling into the rapids, his head hit a rock and lost consciousness. After being taken thousands of meters away, he only had artificial injuries, how lucky!

Recalling the culprit that caused him to fall into the valley and suffer and almost lose his life, darkness enveloped the eyes of Ye Yichen – Ouyang Shaochen!

"Your majesty!" The surprised call rang. Ye Yichen looked up only to see Xu Tianyou hurriedly running. He carefully examined it, his eyes glistening clearly joyfully, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Ye Yichen shook his head and glanced at the ten guards who were following behind, before calmly saying, "Murong Xue has been taken care of?"

Xu Tianyou stopped, the smile on his face froze.

Ye Yichen's sharp eyes narrowed, and coldly looked at him, “What? You didn't force her to sit on the pink stretcher seat and take her back to the Mansion?”

Xu Tianyou's eyes flashed uncomfortably, “Your Majesty has fallen into the valley and your survival is unknown. I'm worried about His Majesty so … "

"So, you brought all the guards to look for me and let Murong Xue openly return to the Marquis House." Ye Yichen continued his sentence, his eyes shining with a hint of anger. Tianyou had followed him for many years and had always done things that he liked. How could he be so careless this time around and completely put aside such an important thing?

“Please don't be angry, Your Majesty. I will immediately lead people to the Marquis House and will definitely let Murong Xue sit on the pink sedan chair and take him to the side door of your House in the next 4 hours."

Prince Jing had always been the invincible God of War in Xu Tianyou's heart. No one could surpass him in his world, and no one could hurt him. After suddenly hearing that Prince Jing had fallen into the valley, he became confused and that was why he only cared about looking for Prince Jing and ignored the real reason why they were here.

Fortunately, the protocol for marrying a concubine is very simple and there is no need to overthink hours of luck. As long as Murong Xue was taken to the Prince's House using a pink palanquin at midnight today, Prince Jing's banquet would be considered to be finished.

Ye Yichen hummed in agreement, and solemnly said, “Whatever you do, you should always remember your ultimate goal. Even if other things happen, when dealing with those problems, you should also exert some of your energy to do what you originally planned. Remember that you cannot be distracted and forget your original purpose.

"Yes sir!" Xu Tianyou solemnly nodded. He was just about to rush back to the Capital when a surprised male voice sounded, "Prince Jing!"

Commander-in-Chief of the military division of five cities. What the hell is he doing here?

By the time they were confused, the middle-aged man was already approaching. He firmly descended and saluted towards Ye Yichen, “Your subordinate Yang Tai, greeting Prince Jing!"

"Dispose of formality! ?" Ye Yichen looked at Yang Tai, his voice was calm, "The official who is always stationed in the Capital, why did you suddenly bring the guards here?"

Yang Tai stood up and respectfully said, "In return for Your Majesty, I have received a summons of assistance from the Magister Lin Shuntian Court Official to bring people to conduct a search and rescue for His Majesty."

Ye Yichen's eyes flashed and a bad premonition appeared inside, "What happened?"

"Around noon, Miss Murong of the Marquis House, escorted by the guards of the Marquis Household, returned to the Capital and headed straight for the Shountain Magistrate Court, saying..."

Yang Tai silently looked at Ye Yichen only to see her pale. He should be lightly injured. The red wedding robe had a huge tear and even his sleeves were missing. The corner of his lips twitched – Although Murong Xue had repeatedly stressed that the Marquis' guard had been injured accidentally, but 20 guards were bruised altogether, not even an idiot would believe his story. Now seeing Prince Jing's injuries, it was easy to conclude that the two sides had clashed and fought. It is not difficult to guess the reason for the quarrel.

As outsiders, they could not interfere in the personal affairs of Prince Jing and the Marquis Household, and did not dare to interfere. As long as he does his job, that's enough. “Nona Murong said that His Majesty accidentally fell into the valley and asked the Shountain court to send people to the rescue. They don't have enough people, so Officer Lin asked for my help..”.

The five-city military division is tasked with maintaining order in the Capital, fire safety, and has the most manpower. It is appropriate to ask for their help.

Ye Yichen's face turned pitch-black and a thick fog flashed under his eyes. Everyone in the Capital knew that he had brought guards to Murong's ancestral cemetery. Even if someone used a toe to think, they knew that the Marquis' guard's injuries were caused by Prince Jing's guards.

Murong Xue showed off the publicity of their serious injuries. Even if he did not tell the truth and what had happened, all the officials of the capital would know, and the commoners would also definitely guess, that she had used her status to force Murong Xue to be her concubine but had failed, and had even caused her to fall into the valley.

The veteran Prince Jing, who was amazed at the Prince Jing Household, had all become the laughingstock of the people.

Murong Xue, you are kind, very kind!

Surrounding Ye Yichen immediately aroused the aura of death, and his eyes shone with a violent coldness, making Xu Tianyou believe that if Murong Xue were here, Ye Yichen would tear him apart without hesitation. “Your Majesty don't have to worry. Prince Jing's reputation was widespread and officials as well as people in the Capital would dare to have random discussions!”

They simply did not dare to discuss openly, but in private they must have laughed at him, and mocked the entire Prince Jing Household!

Ye Yichen's eyes flashed with a sharp chill and he clenched his hands tightly behind his sleeves. Only a sickly person was on his deathbed and he dared to destroy the reputation he had built up over the years. How brave! Since he had given her such a great gift, he naturally had to give her a gift, and let her feel how death feels better than life!
