Chapter 1277 Going Back or Not, He Will Die

After saying that, Qi Tianyu stood up and bowed deeply to Shao Wanru again. Then he turned around and strode away.

“My Lady, what… what does he mean?” Yujie asked in confusion with her eyes on the envelope Qi Tianyu left behind. Then, she looked in the direction that Qi Tianyu walked away.

“Qi Tianyu resigned from his official position!” Chu Liuchen’s voice came from behind the screen. Then he came out with Xiao Xuanzi and sat beside Shao Wanru.

“He resigned?” Shao Wanru asked, fluttering her long eyelashes. He resigned as soon as he was promoted. It was quite surprising.

“Yes. Uncle the Emperor also agreed,” Chu Liuchen said indifferently and reached out to take the envelope on the table. After tearing it open and reading it, he raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically.

“What’s wrong?” Shao Wanru asked anxiously.

“It is the evidence of the deal between Chu Liuyue, Qi Tianyu, and his sister,” Chu Liuchen said indifferently.

Shao Wanru certainly had heard about what had happened in Prince Zhou’s Mansion. Qi Rongzhi brought trouble upon herself, but Qi Tianyu’s behavior made her feel very strange.

She just felt a little curious, but that was not what she cared about. “Is it true?”

“Yes!” Chu Liuchen put down the evidence in his hand and said casually.

“Then shall we hand it over to His Majesty?” Shao Wanru asked. Since it was evidence of Chu Liuyue’s schemes, giving it to the Emperor would be better. In her previous life, Chu Liuyue was almost close to achieving a final victory. After dealing with Chu Liuzhou and Chu Liuxin, he would have been the final winner if it hadn’t been for Chu Liuchen.

“No need!” Chu Liuchen smiled lazily. Qi Tianyu thought it was the best evidence, but it was not crucial to Chu Liuchen. Not only that, but he also knew the truth about Qi Rongzhi’s death.

Of course, Qi Rongzhi didn’t hang herself. Chu Liuyue’s subordinates faked it. Chu Liuzhou rushed to the Palace and complained to the Emperor about it. But in his mansion, Princess Zhou and his consorts were in a mess. Each of them had different ideas. Who would pay attention to Qi Rongzhi? As a result, Chu Liuyue took this chance and fabricated the evidence. Thus, it looked to others that Qi Rongzhi committed suicide by hanging herself because she couldn’t stand the torture.

Chu Liuzhou was supposed to be the victim, but now he had become the bad guy who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. Even if others knew he didn’t intend to make a false charge, they would think he was not smart enough. Besides, his reputation was tarnished, for his brutal means led to the death of an official’s daughter. Ordinary people didn’t know the truth, but the officials did. His plan became a complete failure, which terribly upset Chu Liuzhou. At this time, it was better not to act rashly as an onlooker.

Chu Liuzhou had always been hot-tempered. How could he bear to suffer such a loss?

“Then what should we do about it?” Shao Wanru pointed at the letter and asked. She didn’t think too much about it. Chu Liuchen would deal with external affairs, and she trusted him very much.

“I will keep it. There is no need to see Qi Tianyu again!” Chu Liuchen raised the corners of his mouth and said with a gentle smile, but his words sounded chilling.

The so-called “no need” meant this person could not be seen again.

“Do you think he regrets it?” Shao Wanru didn’t notice the killing intent in his eyes. Qi Tianyu was an irrelevant person now, so there was no need to waste more effort on him.

“Anyway, he is already a worthless wreck!” Chu Liuchen said gloomily.

Whether Qi Tianyu was sincere or not was not a big deal. He was indeed useless. There was only the road to extinction if he chose to stay in the capital city. He would have to work for Chu Liuyue, who would not allow him to get out of his control. Meanwhile, Chu Liuzhou must also want to get some evidence against Chu Liuyue from Qi Tianyu.

Once they had a conflict, Qi Tianyu’s life might be in danger. Staying in the capital city was courting death, so he might as well retreat to somewhere else far away from the capital city.

However, Chu Liuchen didn’t want to let go of Qi Tianyu for nothing. Even if he didn’t do it himself, there were Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou, right? He would never allow others to spy on and utilize his people.

Qi Tianyu had almost ruined Zhuozhuo’s life. After that, he joined hands with Chu Liuyue to plot against Zhuozhuo again and again. Now, he chose to leave when at a disadvantage. He came here to curry favor with Zhuozhuo, trying to seek shelter from Chu Liuchen. It was such a good deal for him! He was vengeful, not to mention that Qi Tianyu was coveting his most precious treasure. For Chu Liuchen, Shao Wanru was much more valuable than his life…

The news of Qi Tianyu’s death was not spread to the capital city. The two groups who took action came back quietly. Since then, Qi Tianyu forever disappeared in the vast world.

He resigned from his position and went to Jiangzhou, which was far away. The few noble princes were not to blame if anything terrible happened to him on the road.

“Your Highness, Qi Tianyu is dead!” Several guards carefully entered the back door of Prince Zhou’s Mansion and reported to Chu Liuzhou in the study.

“How did he die?” Chu Liuzhou asked with cold eyes.

“When we went there, another group also happened to come. We happened to meet each other and started a fight. I don’t know who else participated in it secretly. But before we figured out everything, Qi Tianyu was already dead.”

The guard reported.

It was a mess in the darkness, and no one noticed who killed or accidentally injured Qi Tianyu. When they checked him over, Qi Tianyu had been stabbed to death by a sword.

“Chu Liuyue did it. He sent his people to do it!” Chu Liuzhou growled with a livid face. After this conflict with Chu Liuyue, he suffered a great loss again. This time, he simply couldn’t restrain his fury.

He found out the truth about Qi Rongzhi and forced her to tell the truth, but he was rebuked in the end. Chu Liuzhou’s heart thumped violently in his chest, and he couldn’t control his anger. If it went on like this, he would be suppressed by Chu Liuyue and lose all chances to win. As the legitimate son of the Empress, how could Prince Zhou be so helplessly aggrieved?

“All of you, leave first!” He waved his hand and ordered coldly.

The guards withdrew.

“Your Highness, don’t be angry.” Shao Yanru came out from behind the screen and comforted Chu Liuzhou in a low voice.

“How can I not be angry? Chu Liuyue, it’s all because of Chu Liuyue. How I wish I could stab him to death this time,” Chu Liuzhou gnashed his teeth with hatred and said.

“Prince Yue is cunning. I’m afraid you are no match for him. You’d better think twice before you act!” Shao Yanru comforted him in a sweet voice.

Her words didn’t calm him down. Instead, they added fuel to his angry flames. Chu Liuzhou really could no longer stand it and said, “I can’t bear it anymore.”

“So what if you can’t bear your unfavorable situation? Prince Yue is the Emperor’s eldest son and your Eldest Brother. See? After such a sensational event, he is only asked to behave properly and cultivate himself in the mansion.”

Shao Yanru said softly.

Chu Liuzhou suddenly flared up into a fury and said, “I am the Empress’s legitimate son, the only legitimate son.”

“You are wrong. Prince Chen is also the legitimate son!” Shao Yanru said.

“So what? The deceased emperor died long ago, and I am the only legitimate son now. Are you suggesting that Chu Liuyue can surpass me?” The more Chu Liuzhou thought about it, the more annoyed he became. These words sounded sharp but not convincing enough to himself. Even he himself did not believe these words.

“Your Highness, I’m afraid the Emperor doesn’t care whether the heir to the throne is a legitimate son. In his mind, you are all his sons at different ages. You should carefully handle the situation. Don’t get angry. It will spoil your health.” Shao Yanru leaned over, full of tenderness. She gently rubbed Chu Liuzhou’s chest with a coquettish smile.

However, Chu Liuzhou pushed her away with a livid face, not in the mood to accompany her.

Shao Yanru hit the corner of the table heavily and painfully bent down in great pain, but she didn’t dare to cry out in pain and could only watch Chu Liuzhou with a grievance.

But Chu Liuzhou’s mind was occupied by Chu Liuyue. How could he pay attention to her? Frowning, he walked around in circles and said, “No, I’m going to meet my mother in the Palace and ask her to make a decision for me.”

The Empress had met Consort Dowager Qing, who was sent there by the Empress Dowager. The Emperor did not say anything about it. It meant the Empress was not strictly held in confinement. In this case, it was proper for him, her biological son, to see her.

Chu Liuzhou thought so in his heart and took it for granted. Since the ban was lifted once, he didn’t have to meet his mother secretly.

“I’m going to see my mother in the Palace tomorrow.” Chu Liuzhou calmed down a little.

Shao Yanru stood up with a stoop. Finally, the pain wore off. She raised her slightly red eyes and said, “You should be careful. Prince Yue… Maybe the Emperor prefers Prince Yue. If anything happens to you, I don’t want to live either.”

Her affectionate confession successfully attracted Chu Liuzhou’s attention to her again, but with his eyes on Shao Yanru, Chu Liuzhou felt increasingly perturbed. Both he and Chu Liuyue wanted to get the throne, but only one of them would succeed. Therefore, he had to trample Chu Liuyue underfoot no matter what.

He took Shao Yanru’s arm and brought her to the inner room. There, they had another romantic night.

Early the next morning, Chu Liuzhou went to the Palace. But Shao Yanru was still lying in bed, aching all over. Yesterday, Chu Liuzhou was in a bad mood and eagerly tortured her in bed. Now, it was not easy for her to get up with blue and red marks covering her jade-white skin.

“Master, you want to get up?” Her personal servant girl helped her up.

After freshening up, Shao Yanru looked at the gorgeous woman in the dressing table’s mirror and silently raised the corners of her mouth. Her smile appeared cold and ferocious. She didn’t even have an identity now. She believed it was all Shao Wanru’s fault. Even at the cost of her life, she would pull Shao Wanru down and make Shao Wanru fall into a more miserable situation than she did.

“Is there any news from Commandery Prince Cheng?” Shao Yanru asked.

“He asked you to put this thing in Prince Zhou’s Mansion.” The servant girl took orders from Commandery Prince Cheng. She came to Prince Zhou’s Mansion with Shao Yanru and was responsible for contacting the Commandery of Prince Cheng’s Mansion.

The servant girl took out an item from her sleeve pocket. Shao Yanru took it. As she looked at it closely, her face changed drastically. “What… what is this?”

“This belongs to the surviving evildoers of the previous dynasty. It is the evidence that could prove they were in contact with each other. Commandery Prince Cheng asked you to keep it in Prince Zhou’s place. Of course, it would be best if it fell into Infanta Yuan’an’s hands,” said the servant girl.

Infanta Yuan’an was Chu Liuzhou’s legal wife. Things from her were equivalent to being from Chu Liuzhou. This arrangement could bring the best effect.

Looking at the illegally made pair of phoenix hairpins in her hands, Shao Yanru raised the corners of her mouth and sneered. She knew about Infanta Yuan’an. In the past, she had specially studied several noble Misses who might be her opponents, and Infanta Yuan’an was one of them…
