Chapter 315: Chapter 125 Duke Mansion (2) Luring Xie Ruiyao_4

The relationship she now has with the King of Chu is decidedly unacceptable with Bai Mowan being with the King of Chu.

Just having heard that Ye Qichi said Bai Mowan would soon return, and the Emperor would immediately grant marriage to the King of Chu, she almost collapsed.

If not for Ye Qichi being there, she would have gone mad already.

Xie Ruiyao said, "But it’s the Emperor’s decree, and no one can defy it. Please, Princess, ease your mind. Moreover, from another perspective, having your cousin marry the King of Chu is one less threat to you, Princess. At least, your cousin will no longer be with Chen Wang."

Her tone was still very magnanimous and understanding as she persuaded Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi smiled, "Bai Mowan now wants to marry Chen Wang, that’s impossible. As long as I live one more day, she doesn’t have the capability to marry Xiao Jinxing!"

At this moment, Xie Ruiyao was still stunned by Ye Qichi’s aura.

Previously, it was always said that the Chen Wang’s wife was good for nothing, timid and cowardly.

Lately, she heard a lot has changed, and the Emperor also started to see her in a new light, especially after the trip to Yuzhou, where in the eyes of the common people a drastic change occurred, making both Chen Wang and his wife’s popularity almost surpass that of King of Chu.

However, in Xie Ruiyao’s mind, all these seemed merely rumors being exaggerated; she did not believe Ye Qichi could be that formidable.

But upon meeting today, she suddenly felt she had truly underestimated Ye Qichi before.

The presence Ye Qichi exudes is not one of a simple character.

Xie Ruiyao quickly echoed, "I certainly don’t doubt the abilities of Chen Wang’s wife, what I mean is, after your cousin marries the King of Chu, Chen Wang would then be deprived of his sentiments towards Bai Mowan."

"Whether it truly ends, I know very well," Ye Qichi said harshly.

You could clearly feel her intense hostility towards Bai Mowan.

At that moment, Xie Ruiyao was also somewhat moved.

Ye Qichi dislikes Bai Mowan so much, and she dislikes Bai Mowan so much too, could they possibly...

"I don’t want to beat around the bush anymore." Ye Qichi suddenly spoke, her eyes intently looking at Xie Ruiyao.

Xie Ruiyao felt a bit nervous.

She guessed that since Ye Qichi had gone this far, she definitely had something in mind for her to do.

But she dared not speculate what it was.

Even if her heart was already feeling the anticipation nervously.

"The reason I came to find you today is to let you stand with me, together to deal with Bai Mowan," Ye Qichi spoke clearly.

Xie Ruiyao was somewhat surprised, showing a very astonished expression, "But, my cousin and I have no enmity nor grudges, even if we don’t meet often but we are relatives, acting against her would..."

"Do you really not mind being compared to her like this?" Ye Qichi asked Xie Ruiyao.

Xie Ruiyao’s eyes flickered.

Being confronted by Ye Qichi, there was still a moment of embarrassment.

Ye Qichi said, "Everyone compares you with Bai Mowan, everyone says that you are inferior to Bai Mowan in every way, do you really feel no discomfort at all? Don’t you want the world to see that you are more outstanding than Bai Mowan? Yao’er, you are not a person to settle for mediocrity, why accept such slanders from the world?"

"In fact, my cousin really is superior to me in every way. Now, she even more so as the Great General of Daxuan Kingdom, what can I possibly compare with her?"

"There is," Ye Qichi said, "If you accomplish one thing, she will forever be beneath your feet."

Xie Ruiyao was moved.

Being spoken to by Ye Qichi in such a manner, she struggled to hide her inner emotions.

She looked at Ye Qichi, asking in bewilderment, "What thing?"

"To take Bai Mowan’s place, and become the Princess of Chu," Ye Qichi enunciated each word.

This sentence.

Instantly stirred Xie Ruiyao, unable to conceal her excitement.

She had always dreamed of becoming the Princess of Chu.

But such a thought had always remained hidden deep in her heart, daring not to emerge, not even daring to reveal the slightest idea.

Now having Ye Qichi say it so straightforwardly...

She simply couldn’t refuse.

Yet at that moment, she still forced herself not to show any reaction.

It was imperative not to show anything.

The King of Chu had stated that he truly had sincere feelings for her, but due to Bai Mowan’s family and the Emperor’s decree, he had no choice but to aggrieve her first.

She had accepted it.

And she knew it was hard to defy the imperial command.

But her heart was still not at ease.

Even though the King of Chu had said that after marrying Bai Mowan, within half a year, he would marry her into the house as his concubine.

She was also aware of her status.

She also did not dare to covet the position of the Princess of Chu, being able to become the concubine of the King of Chu was satisfying enough.

However, at this moment.

Ye Qichi actually gave her such great hope.

To let her become, the Princess of Chu?!

Her heart was racing.

Just looking unbelievingly at Ye Qichi.

It took a good while before she calmed herself down, she said, "What merits and abilities do I have to become the Princess of Chu? The wife that the King of Chu chooses to marry, must be a person with both literary and military talents like my cousin to match him."

Still deliberately concealing her true feelings.

Ye Qichi did not mind, she said, "Wanting to become the Princess of Chu is actually not difficult, it depends on whether you are willing or not."

Xie Ruiyao bit her lip.

She was still somewhat tempted by the confident tone of Ye Qichi.

If it was really possible... she would of course be willing.

But if it didn’t work out.

Then her reputation would be ruined at once, and she might even anger the King of Chu, a loss that did not outweigh the gain.

Yet... she didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

What if it succeeded?!

If it succeeded, she would truly put Bai Mowan under her feet, becoming the envied, exalted Princess of Chu of Daxuan Kingdom!
