My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 456 Ye Yunting’s Plot

Chapter 456: Chapter 456 Ye Yunting’s Plot

"Boss Zhuang, I’ll go with you. If we can’t find the master quickly, I simply won’t be at ease!"

As he spoke, Chu Yi attempted to struggle out of bed and go out with Zhuang Lin’s men.

But seeing his current state, Zhuang Lin dared not agree to his request.

He had sustained such serious injuries; if he didn’t rest properly, he might well suffer lasting repercussions!

"You need to recover first. I’ll send people out now to search, and as soon as there’s news, I’ll inform you immediately."

The men Zhuang Lin sent out found nothing unusual around the War King Residence.

However, they clearly failed to realize that Ye Yunting was not within the Prince Residence, but had instead left the city early.

He had only taken Ye Yi with him and, after sneaking out of the city gates, directly took a back route to a hidden courtyard.

This courtyard was somewhere he had started preparing half a month ago.

He chose a location in the most remote area of the capital suburbs, with no one living around for miles. He also had the courtyard walls deliberately fortified to eliminate any possibility of being spied upon.

As for the few old women serving in the courtyard, he had Ye Yi silence them with poison beforehand to ensure they could relay no messages outward.

And this place was known only to him and Ye Yi.

All he had done was for Chu Nanli.

"You stay on guard outside, I will go in alone," Ye Yunting said to Ye Yi, giving him a glance before shifting his gaze to the courtyard’s setup.

All this he had ordered Ye Yi to arrange, and now it seemed that Ye Yi hadn’t taken his words lightly.

Before entering, he had assumed he’d be met with Chu Nanli’s rage.

Yet to his surprise, Chu Nanli was exceptionally calm, almost as if she had anticipated it was he who would come.

Could she truly be so indifferent to him?

But in reality, Chu Nanli was only outwardly composed; inside, she was constantly on edge, ever vigilant against Ye Yunting.

Fearing that he might suddenly attack her.

Seeing that Ye Yunting had no intention of speaking, she had to take the initiative, "Prince, you invited me here as a guest, when do you plan to send me back?"

"I still do not understand why you refuse to look back."

"The position of the War King’s Consort has always been left for you. As long as you turn back, you can live like before. Why must you remain so willful?"

Chu Nanli was on the verge of laughing in anger at Ye Yunting’s outrageous words.

She really hadn’t expected that Ye Yunting would have people forcefully bring her here for such a purpose.

Despite wanting to keep her cool, Chu Nanli couldn’t help but retort upon hearing Ye Yunting’s words.

"Before saying these words, does the Prince remember at all what kind of days I lived in the War King Residence?"

She couldn’t believe that Ye Yunting was truly unaware of how the original owner had been treated in the War King Residence.

If Ye Yunting knew all this and still had the gall to say such things, then that would truly be despicable!

"I have said it before; the past is in the past. If you are willing to lower your head to me, those who have harmed you will naturally be made to pay the price. Why are you still so stubbornly deluded?"

Perhaps because he had already brought Chu Nanli before him, Ye Yunting’s attitude was much more amiable than before.

He now felt confident and unassailable.

This place was extremely hidden; even if Ye Jiuxiao returned and turned the entire capital upside down, he would not find this location.

"Is it indeed I who am deluded, or is it the Prince who is too obsessed?"

"I’ve already said it last time; from now on, I do not wish to have any connection with the Prince. Can the Prince truly not understand such simple words?"

The detachment on Chu Nanli’s face stirred discontent in Ye Yunting’s heart.

"Do you wish to sever ties with me, is it not because of the Imperial Uncle?"

Ye Yunting let out a cold snort, his gaze falling on Chu Nanli’s small belly, yet he forcefully suppressed his temper.

"But what about now? Now, the rumors outside tell of your death; even if the Imperial Uncle were to return, after grieving for a day or two, he would likely seek a new love."

"Why can’t you see clearly?"

"That’s what you’re saying, isn’t it you, Prince?"

Chu Nanli was completely speechless at his unsavory attempts to stir trouble.

She trusted her own judgment of character and felt even more that Ye Jiuxiao was not that kind of person.

Unlike Ye Yunting, who claimed to have regrets, yet looking at what he was doing, where was there even a hint of remorse?

It’s just disgusting!

"If I wanted to seek new love, why would I have brought you here?"

Ye Yunting pretended not to see the disgust on her face and continued to speak tenderly.

"After you give birth to this child, I will naturally let you return to the capital with a new identity, and then, you can still be my War King Consort."

Now, as Chu Nanli observed Ye Yunting’s feigned affection, she only felt increasingly physically unwell.

"What if I am unwilling?"

Her gaze towards Ye Yunting grew colder.

"Then, in this life, I will never take another woman as Princess Consort. You will be my only Princess Consort!"

"I will come here often to see you and the child. Living here as an ordinary couple wouldn’t be too bad."

Ye Yunting’s idea was nothing if not selfish.

He was planning to imprison Chu Nanli here for the rest of her life.

Even though he said he would not have another Princess Consort, who knew how long his vow would last?

Perhaps before long, he would be forced by the situation to choose some high-born lady to become the War King Consort.

"Prince, who you choose to be with is none of my concern, and I do not care."

Chu Nanli was utterly unmoved by his plans.

Even the original Chu Nanli wouldn’t want to live a life of secrecy like this.

By doing so, was Ye Yunting treating her as a plaything that needed a man’s support to survive?

He had probably never truly understood the original Chu Nanli or her.

"Prince, do you intend to imprison me here for a lifetime?"

"How can this be considered imprisonment? I am doing this to protect you and the child. If it weren’t for your willfulness, by now you would have already been in the War King Residence, and all of this trouble could have been avoided."

In Ye Yunting’s view, this was all because Chu Nanli was too willful.

If it hadn’t been for her insistence on the divorce, how could things have turned out this way?

But he never considered whether she could even survive in the War King Residence had she not sought the divorce?

She would probably have been assassinated long ago.

"In any case, let’s wait until you have given birth to discuss this."

Ye Yunting did not want to argue too much with Chu Nanli over this matter.

In his opinion, what was in the past was past, and discussing it now was pointless.

Moreover, it wasn’t that he was unwilling to treat Chu Nanli well.
