Chapter 167: Who will win is still unknown
Yun Muzhe had his head lowered, but when he suddenly heard what the eldest princess said, it was like a thunderclap exploding in his ears. He trembled all over and suddenly raised his head.
That handsome face was instantly filled with shock. His eyes widened as he stared at the princess, saying in disbelief, "Auntie, you...what did you just say? Ye Chuxue is actually the little princess of the Eastern Liao Kingdom? This...this is simply unbelievable!"
As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily turned to Ye Chuxue beside him, as if he wanted to find a clue from her.
The eldest princess also frowned at this time, her heart full of doubts.
Just now, Prince Yunning confirmed that Ouyang Zhi was indeed the crown prince of the Eastern Liao Kingdom. Furthermore, according to Ouyang Zhi himself, Ye Chuxue was his biological sister. Common sense suggests this should be completely true.
But why did Yun Muzhe in front of him react like this, as if he was completely unaware of this matter?
Thinking of this, the eldest princess secretly suppressed the doubts in her heart, looked at Ouyang Zhi with a guilty conscience, and then said cautiously: "That's exactly what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said."
As the princess finished speaking, Yun Muze's gaze towards Ye Chuxue grew increasingly intense. The fervor in his eyes was like a burning flame, even hinting at a perverted madness. His entire mind was focused on Ye Chuxue.
He took a deep breath, doing his best to calm his restless heart. "Your Highness, if you have no other important matters at this moment, please accompany me to the palace to see the emperor. After all, my father is anxiously awaiting you and Xue... Oh, no, I should say, awaiting the arrival of Her Highness the Princess."
After he finished speaking, Ouyang Zhi slowly raised his right hand. His originally handsome face now seemed to be covered by a layer of frost, so cold that it made people feel chilled.
He stared at the princess with eyes full of contempt and ridicule, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a disdainful sneer: "This prince can't leave now. After all, the princess still wants to kill me and Xue'er!"
When the eldest princess came into contact with his gaze, which was as sharp and terrifying as an icy blade, a trace of unconcealable fear flashed across her beautiful eyes.
She felt an invisible pressure coming towards her like a tidal wave. Her body began to tremble involuntarily. She staggered and took two steps back before she could barely steady herself.
The princess gathered herself and said calmly, "Your Highness, please calm down. It is true that I have offended you and the princess before. I hope you can forgive me."
Please do not hold me accountable for this momentary mistake. When the opportunity arises, I will prepare a generous gift and personally apologize to you and the princess."
However, Ouyang Zhi was clearly not convinced by the princess' words. He snorted coldly and retorted in a stern tone, "Humph! Forgiveness? That's easy for you to say! When your precious daughter kidnapped Xue'er, and you pressed me and Xue'er relentlessly, even threatening us with a sword pointed at our throats, why didn't you mention the word 'forgiveness'?"
Now that you know my identity, do you think you can get away with it so easily? Besides, do you really think this prince would be interested in your so-called generous gifts?"
Deep in the eldest princess's beautiful eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashed like lightning, but it was quickly concealed.
Because she knew very well that the identity of Ouyang Zhi in front of her was too noble and honorable. If she could not calm his anger, it would very likely bring great crisis and disaster to her country.
At this thought, the eldest princess's once charming face instantly forced an awkward smile, and she said softly, "Your Highness, please forgive me for my earlier failure to recognize your noble status. I wonder what I can do to appease your anger, according to your wise advice?"
At this moment, Ye Chuxue, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly raised her head. Her eyes, as cold as ice, shot straight at the eldest princess. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer full of sarcasm.
He slowly said, "Haha, judging from what you just said, Princess, do you think those ordinary people are like grass in your eyes, and you can insult them at will, or even kill them at will?"
Hearing this, the princess couldn't help but tremble all over, her face flushed red, and she was so angry that even her voice trembled. She pointed at Ye Chuxue and roared, "You...what do you want?"
Ye Chuxue gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "It's actually very simple. All the suffering and torture I have experienced must be experienced by Xue Qianqian firsthand. Otherwise, the resentment in my heart will never be completely eliminated!"
At this moment, the eldest princess's expression turned as cold as frost and snow. She widened her eyes, glared at Ye Chuxue, and shouted sternly, "You are simply forcing me to do something I don't want to do!"
However, Ouyang Zhi snorted coldly and responded bluntly, "Hmph! Since you, Princess, know that this is forcing someone to do something, then may I ask how Xue Qianqian could have the heart to murder this prince's own sister?
Since she dared to do such a cruel thing, she should bear the corresponding serious consequences! "
The eldest princess pointed at Ye Chuxue with an angry face and scolded her, "Ye Chuxue, you caused trouble in my palace today and even drugged my beloved daughter. You did such a cruel thing! However, considering our past friendship, I can let you off for now and will not pursue this matter any further.
But I also hope you will be careful and not push your luck further, otherwise who will win in the future is still unknown!"
As she spoke, a chilling light suddenly flashed in the eldest princess's eyes, and her voice and expression were so stern that it made people shudder.
However, facing the princess's threats and intimidation, Ouyang Zhi showed no fear. He held his head high, his chest puffed out, his face proud, his eyes flashing with a piercing cold light. He snorted coldly and said, "Humph! In that case, let's just wait and see!"
"This prince has just been reunited with Xue'er, yet he has suffered such a humiliating humiliation. It is simply unforgivable! I want to see if you are truly capable of withstanding the wrath of our nation!"
After saying that, Ouyang Zhi suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Chuxue beside him, and said softly: "Xue'er, don't be afraid. With your royal brother here, he will never let you suffer any grievances. Come, let's go back to the Kingdom of Dong Liao with your royal brother!" Before he finished speaking, he reached out and held Ye Chuxue's wrist tightly, turned around and was about to walk out.
Seeing Ouyang Zhi and Ye Chuxue walking further and further away, the eldest princess suddenly became anxious, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.
She never imagined that Ouyang Zhi was such a stubborn person who would not listen to any advice or persuasion.
