Chapter 73
Li Chengqian's words were full of sarcasm. Although he didn't directly say it aloud, Baili Hongzhuang and Dibei Chen were both smart people, and naturally knew the anger hidden in his voice.
"What kind of business does Prime Minister Li have with us?"
Dibei Chen's expression was calm, acting as if the one Li Chengqian was mocking wasn't him and got straight to the point.
An instant of bewilderment flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes. Dibei Chen never had any kind of status, so according to reason, he should've already been s.h.i.+vering in fear and trepidation.
But now as Dibei Chen opened his mouth to speak, an imposing aura erupted, filling the air. It was even enough to make him feel pressured.
Exactly because of such pressure, Li Chengqian didn't press any further, "I came here today to ask a favor from Chen w.a.n.gfei."
Her beautiful face held a touch of confusion. Baili Hongzhuang asked, "Ask me?"
Looking at Baili Hongzhuang's honest confusion, Li Chengqian's heart grew a little anxious. Could it be that Baili Hongzhuang truly didn't have anything to do with this?
From the moment he started speaking, he had always been observing Baili Hongzhuang. If this really was Baili Hongzhaung's doing, she shouldn't have been able to hide it so well.
"Recently, strange blemishes had begun to appear on my daughter's face for no reason at all, and hopes Chen w.a.n.gfei would be able to treat this." Li Chengqian slowly spoke. "
Even though he was the one asking for Baili Hongzhuang's help, Li Chengqian's face was still as haughty as before.
Coming here with his ident.i.ty, Baili Hongzhuang wouldn't dare refuse!
Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled into a faintly discernable cold smile as she stared at Li Yuyue who was standing behind Li Chengqian, her voice provocative.
"Miss Li came to ask for my help?"
Li Yuyue was very unwilling, coming to the Prince's palace. She had previously wanted to make a show out of Baili Hongzhuang, but now she has lower her head to Baili Hongzhuang for a favor. Like this, where would her face go?
"Ask you?" When Li Yuyue heard Baili Hongzhuang's provocative tone, her face instantly flushed red, "You're dreaming!"
"Oh?" Baili Hongzhuang sneered, "Then please go back. I'm very busy with other things.""
Baili Hongzhuang's att.i.tude was lazy, her words seeming very indifferent. In fact, she had never intended to give Li Yuyue the medicine from the start.
She was never a kind-hearted person. Those that offend her must prepare to pay a price!
Li Yuyue was startled. She never thought that even with Li Chengqian present, Baili Hongzhuang would still dare to act so arrogant!
"Baili Hongzhuang, you clearly know my ident.i.ty! You actually dare to refuse!"
Li Chengqian's face was gloomy. This Baili Hongzhuang truly didn't know what was good for her!
An utterly enchanting smile bloomed from the corners of Baili Hongzhuang's lips, "Li Yuyue, weren't you also saying this sentence earlier?"
The light in her eyes grew impatient. Baili Hongzhuang thought that Li Yuyue was truly an idiot without brains, doing nothing all day but using her ident.i.ty to bully people. Apart from this, she simply didn't have anything else.
"Audacious!" Li Chengqian was angry, "Baili Hongzhuang, I am the grand and magnificent Prime Minister! Those who dare to offend me, do you know their fates?"
Baili Hongzhuang's smile slowly turned cold, her voice containing a bone-chilling iciness.
"In any case, I am the Chen w.a.n.gfei. As the Prime Minister, what can you do to me?"
"If you have the ability, do it directly. Don't stay here to speak a pile of rubbish, I'm too lazy to listen!"
Hearing her words, Li Chengqian was unable to restrain his anger.
With his ident.i.ty and position, whoever in the imperial court would yield to him, or at least give him some face. This Baili Hongzhuang actually had the impertinence to challenge him! Simply courting death!
Because Li Chengqian was so furious, he didn't think of any consenquences and directly spat the words out. Almost everyone know Chen w.a.n.g was the b.a.s.t.a.r.d child of Xuanyuan Yutian, but almost n.o.body dared to speak it aloud in front of others.
When Li Chengqian said these words, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly felt a low pressure surrounding her, almost making it hard to even breathe.
"Are you aware
An icy, constrained voice suddenly sounded. Dibei Chen's eyes seemed to hold a terrifying storm, like a black hole containing unimaginable power.
Li Chengqian was startled. Only after spitting those words out did he regret them.
Even if it was true, anything that related to the imperial household's prestige mustn't be talked upon lightly. If this were to be pa.s.sed onto the Emperor, he'd be completely out of luck.
Sensing Dibei Chen's cold, acute gaze, Li Chengqian could only feel as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast, his whole body freezing up, becoming hard to even breathe.
His eyes slowly widened. Li Chengqian looked at Dibei Chen, stunned.
Before, he had only thought Dibei Chen was a cripple without the least bit of power. But Li Chengqian never thought he could actually also be so frightening.
Although faint, he almost felt the same fear standing in front of Dibei Chen as standing in front of the Emperor.
How could it be possible!
Li Chengqian felt stunned by his thoughts. His imposing aura was simply too astonis.h.i.+ng. How could Dibei Chen have changed so much after marrying?
Seeing Dibei Chen actually dare to threaten Li Chengqian, Li Yuyue voice was furious, "You, a cripple, dares to threaten my father. What do you see us as!"
Saying this, Li Yuyue turned to face Baili Hongzhuang arrogantly, "Baili Hongzhuang, you……"
Before Li Yuyue could finish her sentence, Baili Hongzhuang heard a loud noise followed almost immediately with a mad screech from Li Yuyue.
Because right when Li Yuyue started to speak, Hei Mu acted!
It was simple but ruthless. One fist directly met Li Yuyue body, blasting her straight outside the lobby, smas.h.i.+ng through the front door, before landing in the yard.
Hei Mu's eyes flashed with excitement. For these 3 past years, he was always forced to restrain his killing intent whenever his little lord was insulted and humiliated. His little lord had never let him act.
But today, his little lord actually allowed him!
Just from little lord's att.i.tude in allowing him to take action, Hei Mu knew that they would no longer have to endure silently. Just the thought of this made his heart beat with excitement.
Li Chengqian was stupefied by what had just occurred. Everything happened in a few, mere seconds; before he could even react, Li Yuyue was already seriously injured.
"Dibei Chen, you're done for!"
Li Chengqian face turned extremely ugly. He simply couldn't believe the scene before his eyes was actually real. The until now always bullied and humiliated Dibei Chen actually dared to strike against his daughter?
"Old scoundrel, I'm giving you a chance. If you don't get lost right now, I won't mind having you fly out as well."
Dibei Chen's face was indifferent, playing down the scene as if it was no different from kicking out a dog!
"Good! Good!" Li Chengqian's face paled, his eyes containing nothing but fury, "Dibei Chen, you'll definitely regret this!"
"Scram!"
Li Chengqian immediately left the lobby, dragging Li Yuyue behind him as they left Prince Chen's mansion. In his heart, he secretly vowed to take revenge.
Baili Hongzhuang raised a slender brow. The scene before her was even more brilliant than she had thought it’d be.
"Wifey, were you taken breathless by your hubby?"
Turning his head, a bewitching smile formed on Dibei Chen's face as he gazed at Baili Hongzhaung teasingly.
Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help be startled at the speed Dibei Chen's expression changed, speechless "Look at yourself first, aren't you the one breathless?"
Although she said that, the smile in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes actually deepened. From Dibei Chen's actions today, she clearly understood what he wanted to do.
Even a fish, upon encountering difficulties, could become a dragon.
Dibei Chen was never destined to live his life curled up in the tiny Feng Bo Country. Now that his legs were cured, the ambitions in his heart would naturally arise!
They happily talked with each other until they arrived at their rooms, but they didn't mention Li Yuyue at all. In fact, they never even placed Li Yuyue in their eyes.
In the deep moonlight, the wind was cold like water.
The light of the moon shone clearly through the window into the room, glimmering over Dibei Chen at the side of the window. A pondering look appearing on his unusually handsome face.
"Little lord." Hei Mu stood perfectly straight, saluting behind Dibei Chen.
Dibei Chen didn't turn around, and only gazed at the bodies of stars in the night sky, his eyes hazy: "Are all the preparations complete?"
Hei Mu nodded his head, " Answering the little lord, everything is already prepared."
"Tomorrow, we will leave Feng Bo country. You guard Hongzhuang in secret. No matter what, you must protect her." Dibei Chen ordered.
"Hei Mu understands!"
Looking at his tall and straight posture, Hei Mu's eyes slowly changed. Little lord truly does treat lady Baili differently.
Originally, his little lord used to loathe anything that would hinder him. As a result, for the past few years, there was not one person that could enter the little lord's heart.
But since lady Baili's arrival, it all seemed to change. Little lord even left him here to guard her. This alone was enough to show her importance in the little lord's heart.
Dibei Chen waved his hand and Hei Mu left promptly. Little Lord wanted to depart tomorrow, so he probably had many things to talk about with lady Baili.
Baili Hongzhuang was cultivating in her room when she suddenly heard a burst of movement outside the door. Dibei Chen directly pushed open the door and entered.
"Could you at least knock on the door before entering?" Baili Hongzhuang was completely speechless, how would she face him if Dibei Chen were to accidentally see her while she happened to be changing clothes or something?
Dibei Chen smiled ambiguously at Baili Hongzhuang, "You're already my wifey, how could you still see me as an outsider?"
"Not regarding somebody as an outsider doesn't seem to be a very good idea."
Baili Hongzhaung raised an eyebrow without another word before sitting down and pouring herself a cup of tea, "Coming to find me so late at night, is something the wrong?"
The teasing look disappeared from Dibei Chen's face, and gazing fixedly at Baili Hongzhuang's face he slowly said: "I need to leave tomorrow"
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes changed a little. Although she had already antic.i.p.ated Dibei Chen's leave earlier, hearing it now, her heart still couldn't help but tremble.
"Oh."
Baili Hongzhuang agreed indifferently, her face the same as ever as if she didn't care at all.
Even though Baili Hongzhuang hid her feelings extremely well, Dibei Chen still managed to see through to the turmoil in her heart. His eyes turned a little warm.
Dibei Chen took a seat beside Baili Hongzhuang. His pupils deep like an ocean's gazed at Baili Hongzhuang's that were black as ink, his face serious: "I need to go out later. You must take good care of your body, don't let yourself get injured."
Baili Hongzhuang wanted to laugh at the few words Dibei Chen had said, but when she saw the deep worry in Dibei Chen's eyes, her voice got stuck on her throat and she was unable to say anything.
"I will come back as soon as possible."
