Chapter 888 - 787: Out of Control?

Chapter 888: Chapter 787: Out of Control?

Destroy it, let everything be destroyed, so she won’t have to marry into East Tang!

However, Princess He Ye smashed everything on the table, yet there was no response in the room.

She was exhausted and out of breath, tears streaming down her face.

She didn’t want to be in this wretched place, didn’t want to go to damn East Tang, she wanted to go home, back to Prince Ning Mansion, to her previous life of luxuries and servants calling her name wherever she went, not like now, where the maids weren’t hers, the nannies weren’t her attendants, and everyone seemed to be watching her, opposing her!

But she also knew, all of this, she could only think about!

The days of her father’s care and her mother’s love seemed like a dream!

They won’t exist anymore.

Princess He Ye was overwhelmed with sadness, crying her heart out, her voice hoarse, makeup a mess, hairpins scattered, clothes crumpled and damp with tears. Yet, no one paid attention.

This made her feel even more abandoned by everyone.

She was a noble princess, she clearly could marry someone she wanted, that gentlemanly and graceful Mr. Xia was her true love. Why must she face such a fate?

It’s all because of Huangfu Yuxuan. If it weren’t for Huangfu Yuxuan scheming against that woman, Xia Wenjin, at Prince Ning Mansion, if he hadn’t come to her, and she hadn’t taken on this hot potato-like task, what did it matter to her if Huangfu Yuxuan was engaged to Miss Zhao or to that Xia Wenjin?

She wouldn’t have faced such revenge.

Previously, she didn’t dare to hate someone as high and mighty as Huangfu Yuxuan, the son of the Crown Prince, the famous Second Young Master of the Capital City, like that.

But what does it matter if she hates him? In East Tang, she is even worse off than Yu Xuan. In Nanxia.

Who knows how long she cried until finally the door opened, and a maid walked in, completely unsurprised by the mess of broken dishes and food on the ground. She glanced at Princess He Ye, sitting there with tear-streaked eyes, bypassed the debris on the floor with calm, and said flatly, "Come on, the Princess has already finished her meal, hurry and clean this up!"

When did she eat? She hadn’t taken a single bite!

Yet, following the words of the nanny, a few maids entered the room, none of them asked Princess He Ye a single question, quietly and quickly tidying up the mess on the floor.

The broken dishes and food were cleaned up, and the maid said, "The Princess should rest now, we won’t disturb her!"

These people came quickly, left quickly as well, their words respectful and polite, leaving no faults to be picked.

Princess He Ye sat alone in the suddenly silent room.

Loneliness, fear, anger...

Even a married princess isn’t she allowed to bring her trusted people?

Along the way, she’d been thinking, this wasn’t right, even if she was raised in deep seclusion, she had heard that other princesses who married off weren’t treated this way.

At that time, her father and mother were also unwilling, but after her father went to the palace, they not only consented but also didn’t send a single person, impossible!

Then, someone in the middle must have manipulated things.

The only one who could have done it, was Huangfu Yuxuan.

She numbly rose, slowly walked toward the bed that could barely be considered rough, and slowly sat down. With no one to serve her, she could only serve herself.

She curled herself into a ball, with her chin resting on her knees.

She couldn’t just let it go like that.

Isn’t her purpose to marry?

The one she’s marrying is an East Tang Prince, isn’t it?

Rumor has it that the third prince is handsome and charming, a true gentleman, though he has no chance at the throne, he is after all a prince.

Moreover, in East Tang’s territory, it should be easy for a prince to deal with an outsider’s Heir, right?

Then she must seize every opportunity, as quickly as possible, to get the third prince willing to help her.

She began to ponder hard, what could she do? She’s beautiful, and she’s a princess of Nanxia too. She should have a chance, right?

When Huangfu Yuxuan returned to the station, it was already dark, and no one knew where he went, of course, no one dared to ask.

His mood seemed good.

A man in gray clothes came up to report, "Young Master, for disaster relief in Qingzhou, Prince Cheng went, and Prince Cheng and his son returned to the Capital City from Jinzhou four days ago. Currently, Prince Cheng has gone to Qingzhou, and his heir remains in the Capital City!"

Huangfu Yuxuan frowned, the words of Prince Cheng’s Heir were displeasing!

The gray-clad man continued, "Mr. Gongyang is still unable to get out of bed, his body is weak, and he cannot yet use his life essence to observe the stars!"

Huangfu Yuxuan frowned again, this was the second piece of bad news he’d heard, Mr. Gongyang had fallen ill after using life essence to calculate and then planning for him in Prince Zhuang Mansion, how long has he been sick?

Still not getting better!

That "Stargazing Method Fragment" is incredibly magical, but the cost is also significant.

Revealing heaven’s secrets, has he been struck by divine retribution?

He gave the gray-clad man a look, "Any other news, say it all!"

The gray-clad man hastened to say, "At the Seventeenth Princess’s place, there’s no longer a need for Miss Xia to go..."

Huangfu Yuxuan interrupted him, "Dead?"

The gray-clad man almost choked on his own saliva, quickly replied, "No, no, the Seventeenth Princess recovered!"

Huangfu Yuxuan sharply looked over, "Who cured her? Didn’t I say to keep an eye on her, she’s useful?"

The gray-clad man stammered, "They say...she recovered on her own..."

Even though he’s away from the Capital City, he’s had everything under control, but now, this matter doesn’t align with his arrangements.

Huangfu Yuxuan gritted his teeth, his expression extremely unpleasant, the feeling of things escaping his control was not pleasant at all.

In the Capital City, the Imperial Palace, Liqing Palace.

A well-dressed young girl sat in front of the mirror, she had sat there for a long time without moving at all.

Outside the hall, Concubine Li came quickly, seeing all the palace maids at the door, she couldn’t help but pause, softly asked, "How is the princess doing?"

The palace maids all shook their heads.

Lately, the sores on the princess’s face showed no improvement, imperial physicians had changed prescriptions numerous times, each time it seemed to work, but then it would relapse.

The worries almost turned the imperial physicians’ hair white.

The Emperor was furious, imperial physicians were incompetent, if things continued like this, was he going to lose this daughter too? He almost ordered that Meng Zhang be beaten; if not for Meng Zhang needing to go treat Prince Lu’s Heir, that beating would have been unavoidable.

Three days ago, the princess suddenly became lucid, she instructed to find a clean soft cloth to wrap her face.

Such a move frightened the imperial physicians, with a face full of sores, wouldn’t wrapping it make it rot even faster?

Was she planning to use the soft cloth to cover a face full of pus? That would ruin the whole face!

The imperial physicians advised, Concubine Li cried, but the Seventeenth Princess was determined, claiming she originally thought she wouldn’t survive, but in recent days, she had the same dream repeatedly, stating that if she wrapped her face with a soft cloth and uncovered it after three days, she would recover as before, otherwise, her life would be at risk.
