Chapter 24
She absolutely will not allow anybody to steal her Crown Prince!
You could only see Baili Yuan’s palm strike out abruptly, creating swift gusts of wind and explosive sounds in the process. No doubt, this was the power of a late-stage heavenly earth cultivator!
Baili Hongzhuang fixed her eyes on Baili Yuyan, her lips widening into a provoking smile in which n.o.body but her could see.
"You madwoman, how could you act so wild here!"
Xuanyuan Huan acted even faster than Baili Yuyan, and before her palm strike could even touch Baili Hongzhuang, his punch had already landed maliciously in Baili Yuyan's stomach!
Bang!
A "Bang!" sound rang out, and Baili Yuyan's body flew into the air, landing heavily on the ground.
"Hongzhuang, are you alright?"
Xuanyuan Huan didn't bother to even take a quick glance at Baili Yuyan's condition, and just quickly asked Baili Hongzhuang, his voice concerned.
Baili Hongzhuang shook her head, "Thank you."
Hearing her words, Xuanyuan Huan smiled brilliantly, "It was nothing!"
"You vixen, the Crown Prince is mine! I've been with him for more than a year!" Baili Yuyan shouted frantically, "How could you be so despicable!"
The onlookers watched this scene with great interest. Everybody knew that Baili Yuyan and Xuanyuan Huan were a couple.
Currently, Baili Yuyan was calling Baili Hongzhuang a vixen. Does that mean Baili Hongzhuang liked the Crown Prince as well?
Baili Hongzhuang chuckled, "Lady Baili's words are truly funny. If you say I'm despicable, then aren't you despicable yourself?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"As we all know, Xuanyuan Huan was the General Household's lady Baili Hongzhuang's fiancee. You are Baili Hongzhuang's older sister, but you've actually seduced her fiance. If this isn't despicable, then what is?"
The corners of Baili Hongzhuang's mouth rippled with enchanting laughter, but the words that came out were of obvious aggression.
This was the acc.u.mulated hatred Baili Hongzhuang had to suffer under. Even though Xuanyuan Huan didn't have an inkling of feelings towards her, the previous Baili Hongzhuang had truly loved him!
This elder sister whom she trusted most had actually stolen the man she loved the most, and had even orchestrated her death, carving out such a pa.s.sionate drama in front of her!
Since Baili Yuyan did such a thing, she should've thought of the consequences!
In front of such remarks, Baili Yuyan's face instantly turned pale.
Although she did steal Xuanyuan Huan from Baili Hongzhuang, the incident was never exposed.
Now that it's been revealed under broad daylight, everybody would regard her actions with contempt. How could she act then?
"His Highness, the Crown Prince and Baili Hongzhaung's engagement had already been annulled, so how could I have seduced him away?" Baili Yuyan was unwilling to back down.
She cannot not let all her reputation be destroyed today in this one moment!
Baili Hongzhuang's perfect, exquisite face was full of undisguised mockery, "If you don't know, then I also don't know."
"The Crown Prince and Baili Hongzhuang's engagement
Her voice was mild, but held an apathetic indifference. Her irrefutable response was like steel, making it impossible for Baili Yuyan to reb.u.t.tal with anything else.
"I……"
Baili Yuyan's mouth twitched. She wanted to explain, but couldn't say a word.
When everybody saw this scene, they instantly knew the truth. They all recalled her usual, G.o.ddess-like image and reputation. None of them thought that the real her was so unbearable!
"I never thought that Baili Yuyan would be such a person. She used to even be my idol, disgusting!"
"Baili Hongzhuang's so pitiful, to have such a sister."
"Knowing one's face, but not one's heart!"
Many people shook their heads, sighing. Baili Yuyan received her karma, and who could she blame but herself?
Under the judging eyes of so many people, Baili Yuyan no longer had the guts to stay. Wearing her veil, she ran away!
But in comparison, Xuanyuan Huan wasn't the least bit scared. After all, he was the Crown Prince! Who dared to say even half a word about him?
Besides, let alone a Crown Prince, even an ordinary man would often have 3 wives and 4 concubines!
In the future, he would have 3000 beauties in the palace. This was nothing at all!
"Hongzhuang, are you willing to become my woman?" Xuanyuan Huan leaned forward and asked in antic.i.p.ation.
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes were cold as she smiled lightly, "Many thanks for Prince's good intentions, but I still think its better for me to work in G.o.dly Doctor Square!"
"You dare to reject me?"
Xuanyuan Huan was shocked. n.o.body ever dared to reject him before!
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Baili Hongzhaung chuckled. Xuanyuan Huan's smug face was what she disgusted the most!
"You know that I'm the Crown Prince! Daring to reject me, do you want to die?" Xuanyuan Huan raised his voice.
Being rejected by Baili Hongzhuang in front of such a big crowd, where would his face go?
"So are you saying, Prince is threatening me?"
Baili Hongzhuang raised her willow like eyebrows.Her beautiful, clear, elegant face showed no traces of fear, but was instead cool and confident, as if she had already known that Xuanyuan Huan didn't dare to do so.
Xuanyuan Huan's face was hesitant. Hongzhuang not only saved his life, but was also very much appreciated by his royal father, the Emperor.
If he were to forcibly seize Hongzhuang today, then it's probable that he could lose the Emperor's favor. That absolutely cannot happen.
Suddenly, Xuanyuan Huan realised that he truly at his wit's end with Baili Hongzhuang!
Since that day, Baili Hongzhuang had enjoyed a peaceful life for a month.
G.o.dly Doctor Square's business didn't falter with time, but had even grown more and more popular, causing the neighbouring inn to always be full and busy. This was all thanks to G.o.dly Doctor Square's customers.
Not only the inn, but even all the surrounding workplaces had grown in popularity, and were all very thankful to Baili Hongzhuang.
G.o.dly Doctor Square's prices grew higher and higher, but the rich kept flocking to her like sheep, just as before. It seems like they believed that only by paying a big sum, would their illnesses be cured.
This was also a method deployed by Baili Hongzhuang. Not only did the prices increase, but she had also reduced the patient’s she'd see from 10 people to 3 a day.
Thus, the compet.i.tion was even more fierce, and many grand officials fought to s.n.a.t.c.h a place in the quota. Those who gained the right to see the doctor were all very proud.
Others couldn't s.n.a.t.c.h it, but they could. This could only prove that they were stronger than others!
Like this, the time Baili Hongzhuang had to stay in G.o.dly Doctor Square lessened, but the profits she earned only increased.
With enough cultivating resources, coupled together with her prior knowledge on cultivation, Baili Hongzhuang's speed was incomparable.
On this day, news was suddenly released from the Imperial Palace. In three days, the Imperial Palace would host an evening banquet with the Emperor in the garden, and each offical must bring at least one female family member.
Although it wasn't obvious, anybody with an eye for detail would know that the Emperor is holding a drafting feast for the Crown Prince!
