Chapter 775 Two Princes Fought for a Woman

Shao Yanru had fallen into the lake and been rescued by Chu Liuyue!

This news shocked Chu Liuzhou so much that he had no mood to stay with the Empress any more. He made an excuse and asked a eunuch to help push his wheelchair away in a hurry. He did not notice that there was some meaning in Chu Liuchen’s eyes when he turned around.

Doctor Qiu had good medical skills. After strong medicine had been applied, Chu Liuzhou could now simply walk as long as he didn’t force his legs too hard. But for better rehabilitation, he usually sat in a wheelchair.

It was reported by a palace servant. He only said that the First Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion had fallen into the lake. As for the matter that she had fallen into the water with Chu Liuyue, it was answered in detail because of Chu Liuchen’s casual questions.

He asked who had been there at that time, how she had fallen into the water, what her condition was now and so on.

Originally, Chu Liuzhou had not cared about this, but hearing the answers for Chu Liuchen’s questions in a few words, he immediately flew into a rage. It was because Chu Liuyue wanted to rob Shao Yanru from him that he made such an accident. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

When going out, they had happened to meet each other and invited to visit around together. After arriving at the desolate garden, they had walked straight to the island in the middle of the lake. That place was very remote, but why had they been there? As for the matter later, it was more coincidental. The fence was broken, so Chu Liuyue had fallen down and also pulled Shao Yanru into the water.

Chu Liuzhou really didn’t believe that this was not intentional.

He had chosen Duke Xing’s Mansion, but Chu Liuyue was so shameless to rob it, so Chu Liuzhou could not swallow his anger. Especially when he saw Chu Liuchen’s obtrusive smile, he felt like being p.r.i.c.ked in his heart, because Chu Liuchen seemed to have known everything clearly.

Duke Xing’s Mansion must stand on his side. It didn’t matter even if Shao Yanru’s reputation was ruined, but she could marry Prince Zhou’s Mansion as a concubine.

Thinking of this, he hurried to the desolate garden.

When he entered the courtyard, a guard saw him coming over and hurriedly stepped back to salute him. After being looked at coldly by Chu Liuzhou, the guard did not dare to say a word and left.

Shao Wanru saw Chu Liuzhou coming from the corridor on the side. She slightly turned around and pretended not to see what was happening here. Yujie also lowered her head obediently like a timid servant girl.

Both of them turned their backs to the garden, so they pretended not to see Chu Liuzhou came over angrily.

There was also a little eunuch standing at the door of the main room. Chu Liuzhou immediately saw this and knew that Chu Liuyue must be inside. He gestured and the guard following him came forward to cover the mouth of the little eunuch who was about to speak and pulled him aside.

Chu Liuzhou took his wheelchair to the door.

The door was half closed. Hearing Shao Yanru’s and Chu Liuyue’s voices coming from inside, Chu Liuzhou almost exploded with anger.

He had always thought that Shao Yanru had a lot of affection for him, and Duke Xing’s Mansion also followed him wholeheartedly. Unexpectedly, he heard a different voice. What did it mean by the relations.h.i.+p between them in the past? If Chu Liuyue and Shao Yanru had had a long relations.h.i.+p, then what about he?

Since his childhood, he had had a good relations.h.i.+p with Shao Yanru and had occasionally written letters to each other in private. Originally, they had just talked about the things among children, but this gradually became an affection. Chu Liuzhou had already decided to let Shao Yanru marry into Prince Zhou’s Mansion.

In the beginning, when people in the palace were choosing a consort for him, he had been afraid that Shao Yanru would fail to be chosen because of living in the Yuhui Nunnery, so he had asked someone to tell Shao Yanru privately. However, Shao Yanru had said that she was afraid that she could not partic.i.p.ate in the Beauty Contest and had been recuperating in the Yuhui Nunnery for her poor condition at that time. She had also explained that rumour had it that she was studying painting in calm. This was because that she was afraid that the Empress would not consider letting her become Princess Zhou for being in poor health.

At that time, Chu Liuzhou had also deliberately said that even if the Empress chose another girl for him, he could also let Shao Yanru become Princess Zhou in the future.

If what Chu Liuyue had said was true, then what he had done in the past was wrong and in vain. Although he cared about Duke Xing’s Mansion most, it could not be said that he was completely heartless to Shao Yanru.

“Chu Liuyue and the b*tch Shao Yanru plotted against me together?”

This idea suddenly came to his mind. He was so angry with a livid face that he could no longer listen any words. He asked the guard to kick open the door, then stood up and strode in.

In the room, Chu Liuyue was still holding Shao Yanru in his arms. They snuggled up to each other with great tenderness between them. Someone unexpectedly appeared. Before they could react, they saw Chu Liuzhou rus.h.i.+ng in with a livid face, and the blue veins on his forehead stood out.

When Chu Liuzhou came in, he saw that the two of them were hugging each other. He picked up Chu Liuyue’s collar and gave him a heavy punch.

Chu Liuyue was directly knocked out. He stood up, then staggered a few steps back and fell to the ground.

However, he had also practiced martial arts, so he reacted quite fast. The moment he fell to the ground, he supported himself with one hand and stood up after steadying himself. There was a fierce look in his eyes, “Second brother, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing? I also want to ask you two, what do you want to do?” Chu Liuzhou was so angry that he lost his mind. His eyes were full of blood, and he hit Chu Liuyue’s face hard again. The eunuch who followed him saw that the things were getting worse and hurried to hold him, for fear that something bad would happen to him again.

Chu Liuyue suffered a loss for the first time because he had not noticed. But now, he naturally couldn’t let Chu Liuzhou hit him again. He reached out to grab Chu Liuzhou’s fist and shouted, “Second brother, are you crazy?”

“Yes, I’m crazy. How could you two plot against me in this way? Well, well, well, let’s go to see Emperor Father now and ask how you, Prince Yue, treat your brother and plot to rob your brother’s wife?” At this time, Chu Liuzhou seemed to say what came into his mind angrily and desperately tried to get out of Chu Liuyue’s hands.

Seeing that he really couldn’t struggle to get out, Chu Liuzhou was also angry. He reached out and hit Chu Liuyue’s face with his other hand. He was really not afraid of blowing up this affair today.

“Second brother, what do you mean by my brother’s wife? I don’t know that you are going to marry First Miss Shao!” Chu Liuyue understood this quickly, and then grabbed Chu Liuzhou’s hands desperately and shouted. He was also angry now. What happened today had nothing to do with Chu Liuzhou, but why did he come here and act like a crazy man?

Shao Yanru s.h.i.+vered and fell on the bed. She huddled up not because she felt cold but because she was afraid and her eyes were full of despair.

It was definitely not a good thing that the royal brothers argued for her.

Moreover, she had relations.h.i.+ps with both of them in private. This matter was about to be exposed, but she could do nothing now.

“Shao Yanru and I are childhood sweethearts. We have been engaged in private for a long time. Why do you intervene in this? I have promised to leave the position of Princess Zhou for her early and she also has a crush on me! She always has affection for me every time we are together.”

Chu Liuzhou gnashed his teeth and said something terrible.

Chu Liuyue and Shao Yanru dared to plot against him, so he would never save their faces.

“What? First Miss Shao and you, you two…” Chu Liuyue was really confused, and he looked up at Shao Yanru in shock. When he saw her pale face and desperate eyes, he suddenly understood.

Pus.h.i.+ng Chu Liuzhou away, Chu Liuyue took a few steps forward to Shao Yanru and grabbed her collar. At this moment, he no longer cared about her ident.i.ty as the daughter of an aristocratic family and picked her up like a dead dog, “Shao Yanru, how dare you date two men? You want to be my Consort Yue, and at the same time, you also want to be my second brother’s Consort Zhou! You b*tch!”

“You said that she was dating two men?” Seeing Chu Liuyue’s ferocious face, Chu Liuzhou calmed down a little and snorted. “She has promised to enter my Prince Zhou’s Mansion. Has she also promised Big brother to enter Prince Yue’s Mansion?”

“Of course, she has agreed so early. This time, she partic.i.p.ates in the Beauty Contest in order to enter my Prince Yue’s Mansion!” Chu Liuyue squeezed words out of his teeth one by one. He glared at Shao Yanru with his fierce eyes, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces. He had always been good at scheming, and also felt that he was a good schemer.

But he didn’t expect that he had been deceived by a woman for so many years.

A veteran hunter was hurt by his prey. How could he not be angry when he was so embarra.s.sed in front of Chu Liuzhou? He reached out and slapped Shao Yanru in her face twice, and then kicked Shao Yanru so hard in her chest that she fainted and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Miss, Miss!” Shuqi screamed and rushed to Shao Yanru, crying with fear.

Shao Yanru really fainted this time with her body tilted to the ground.

When Shao Wanru heard the sound of fighting in the main room, she turned around slightly without a move, but paid attention to the main room. If she went there now, she might also get hurt, because the two of them were furious now.

Shao Yanru dated two men from the royal family at the same time. How could the two princes, who had always thought highly of themselves, stand this?

This was the most shameful time, and whoever went to see them would suffer, so everyone was very clear about this. The guards brought by either of them did not go forward and just allowed them fight together in the room.

The imperial physician had already been alarmed. After coming outside to take a look, he went back obediently, pretending that he had not heard anything. He continued feeling the pulses of the two Misses who had fallen into the water in the wing room. He sighed in his heart, “Why am I so unlucky to take turns today? If I had known this, I would have asked for leave and wouldn’t have come.”

It was afraid that the two Princes would vent their anger on all the other people in the courtyard after their fight.

Another large group of people came to the entrance of the courtyard. This time, there were guards, palace maids, and eunuchs, but the one standing in the middle was Chu Liuchen, who looked gentle and calm.

After entering the door, he looked around and immediately saw Shao Wanru. He walked over slowly and steadily, as if he didn’t hear the sound in the room.

“Fifth Miss Shao, do you know what happened?” Chu Liuchen came over and asked gently, raising his beautiful eyes. It seemed that he had just arrived here and wanted to know the situation first.

Shao Wanru bowed to him respectfully and shook her head in confusion, “Actually, I came here later. After I came, Prince Yue said that Big Sister has fainted and he asked me to take care of her. The imperial physician came to treat her first and then went to treat the other two Misses who also fell into the water. When I was waiting here for the imperial physician to give a prescription, Prince Zhou seemed to come, and he rushed into the main room where Prince Yue and Big Sister stayed! I turned my back to this side just now, so I didn’t see it clearly. I just guess this because I saw there were more guards and eunuchs in the courtyard.”

Shao Wanru said. She disa.s.sociated herself from this matter in a few words. Originally, she had known nothing about it, hadn’t she?

“Second brother also went in?” Chu Liuchen was shocked. He turned around and strode to the main room. Although he walked in a hurry, he couldn’t walk fast because he was in poor health!
