Chapter 873: Chapter 875: Men and Women Fight (4)

"Princess—"

Luo Xue screamed, hurling herself to the ground, allowing Nangong Yu to fall on top of her body.

Nangong Yu fell, and although cushioned by Luo Xue’s body, she wasn’t hurt from the fall; however, the slap from the man, mustered with all his strength, caused her nose and mouth to bleed, and one cheek to swell visibly at a rapid pace, turning her originally delicate little face into something resembling half a pig’s head.

"Brother, you hit me?"

Nangong Yu covered her burning cheek, staring blankly at the enraged man, bewildered!

Nangong Yi’s face turned green with rage, the veins on his forehead bulging as he pointed at Nangong Yu and said deliberately, "Buddha says, if one has Buddha in one’s heart, everything looks like Buddha; if one’s heart is sleazy, everyone appears sleazy. Nangong Yu, it’s one thing for your own thoughts to be sleazy, but don’t use that sleazy mind to judge her. She’s not you, she’s much more noble. At least, she wouldn’t poison innocent people for scum like Saknu, nor would she trick others into drinking warming room wine and commit such despicable and sleazy acts..."

The deepest wound was ruthlessly exposed by her closest kin, and in an instant, Nangong Yu felt an excruciating pain as if bleeding profusely. Her lips trembled, her voice shattered.

"Brother... is this really what you think of me?"

Nangong Yi, with a cold smile and eyes devoid of warmth, looked at her, "What else do you expect me to think? Or are you going to say that you poisoning Cai Wei and giving Saknu the warming room wine were false? Initially, I thought those two incidents were due to your youthful recklessness and being misled by others. However, to my disappointment, you still haven’t repented and keep resorting to such low tactics against your own brother, Nangong Yu. You’ve deeply disappointed me!"

With Luo Xue’s support, Nangong Yu shakily stood up, her body trembling violently as tears nearly drowned her little face.

"Brother... I hate you..."

Crying, she pushed Luo Xue away and staggered off, also realizing that in her brother’s world, she was no longer the treasure he cherished in the palm of his hand; that woman was far more precious than her...

Luo Xue hurriedly chased after her, shouting, "Hey, Princess—"

She had barely run two steps when a rope suddenly looped around her, and before she could see who was on the other end, a fierce tug sent her soaring through the air, landing promptly in front of Nangong Yi.

"Kneel!"

Chai Feng, holding one end of the rope, kicked Luo Xue behind her knees, forcing her to kneel with a ’splash’ before Nangong Yi.

Looking down on her, Nangong Yi’s eyes showed not a trace of warmth.

"You started this, didn’t you?"

Luo Xue bit her lip, gazing deeply at him. She neither denied nor admitted it.

Having been by Nangong Yi’s side for a while, she understood him enough to know that regardless of her admission or denial, he wouldn’t let her off easily. So, she chose to remain silent, leaving him to do as he pleased. Being able to die by his hand left her with no regrets!

To her surprise, Nangong Yi didn’t punish her but said coldly, "I know you did it. Zhao Yang and Helana are as dumb as pigs; they couldn’t have thought up something like that. However, considering you stayed by my Imperial Mother’s side during her most difficult times and you’ve taken good care of Zhao Yang along the way, I’ll give you a break this time. But don’t count on being so lucky next time..."

Nangong Yi did not easily forgive those who schemed against him, but this time, indeed, he gave Luo Xue a break, for reasons just as he stated: during the most difficult times for his mother and younger sister, Luo Xue had stayed loyally by their side, and he couldn’t remain indifferent, nor could he condemn her to death for a single mistake.
