Chapter 504: Chapter 504 Du Meiren Second Watch (1)_1

What Cai Wei was referring to was undoubtedly the matter of Nangong Yi’s marriage to Li Ruizhu. This issue is now causing quite the uproar in the Capital. Almost all of the imperial relatives and nobles know about it, how could Helana remain ignorant?

As expected, upon hearing this, it seemed as though Helana had been struck at her vital point, and her face immediately darkened. She rebuked angrily, "Nonsense, those are nothing more than rumors. If it were true, the Emperor would have issued a marriage decree by now. Why would he wait till now? I think that you, this wench, concocted such lies to spite me, knowing you lost your chance to marry King Qin!"

Cai Wei coldly laughed and said: "There’s no smoke without fire. If there were not even a slight hint, how could there be a gust of wind? You must have heard these rumors a long time ago. You know quite well whether their me, you’re trying to play innocent, why bother deceiving yourself?"

The merciless laughter from Cai Wei caused Helana’s expression to instantly crumble. Even though she had heard rumors about King Qin’s intention to marry Li Ruizhu long ago, she refused to believe them, or rather, she didn’t want to believe it.

King Qin belonged to her. She had painfully loved him for five years; loving him had become a habit or obsession for her. She couldn’t accept him marrying another. Nobody could take him away from her. No matter who dared covet the position of King Qin’s Wife, she would show no mercy!

"Whether it’s true or not, anyone who dares to covet what’s mine, this princess will absolutely show no mercy!"

Cai Wei twisted her face as she spoke, a bitter expression consuming her countenance.

Seeing her twisted face, Cai Wei coldly laughed in her heart. Helana was nothing more than an outwardly tough but inwardly flimsy simpleton. She seemed tough and formidable, fancying herself as fierce; only to crumble so easily under just a few words that made her lose sight of her original goal. She truly wasn’t worthy of being her opponent!

"The princess is right, one should firmly guard what belongs to them and ruthlessly deal with those who covet their possessions so they don’t harbor any wild hopes!"

With an implied meaning in her words, Cai Wei easily sidestepped Helana and left.

At this moment, Helana, who had been sunk in her hatred for Li Ruizhu had entirely forgotten to ridicule Cai Wei...

Having shaken off Helana, Cai Wei was walking leisurely behind the eunuchs when she heard a shrill berating voice just as she was about to reach Qingfang Garden.

"Stop!"

The voice was sharp and piercing, filled with intense hatred.

Damn it, another one looking for trouble, Cai Wei rolled her eyes and begrudgingly turned around to face the advancing Princess Zhao Yang.

"Heh, congratulations, Royal Consort of the Great Prince, being able to become Princess An Le and betrothed to Prince Saknu, you must feel quite proud, huh?"

Princess Zhao Yang came forward to confront Cai Wei, her chin lifted in defiance, her teeth gritted as she looked at her.

In all honesty, Princess An Le’s appearance was indeed quite extraordinary and could compete with Cai Wei’s. However, her overbearing gaze and arrogant demeanor completely destroyed her natural beauty, making her appear audacious, wild, and unreasonable, not one bit like a woman!

Cai Wei glanced at the proud princess and said impatiently: "Princess Zhao Yang, you didn’t come here just to say these boring words to me, did you?"

"How dare you! Not even kneeling upon seeing Princess Zhao Yang, and having the audacity to assume equality with me, you really see yourself as a princess!"

When Princess Zhao Yang’s old palace maid saw Cai Wei’s calm countenance she became enraged from behind, berating her with false bravado.
