Chapter 252 - Illness as though mountains had collapsed

A fishy smell spread in the air, Wei Qing wiped the corners of her mouth and became stiff for a moment.

Xiao Qingqian frowned, his arm wrapped around her waist.

Wei Qing didn't investigate, and actually stuck close to his firm chest.

Their gazes met, her eyes filled with grief.

That was the gaze that she felt sorry for Chu Yin!

Xiao Qingqian was very clear.

Because he was clear of the situation, his heart felt like it was being stabbed with a knife.

Wei Qing tried to struggle, but when she met Xiao Qingqian's pair of deep eyes that were filled with threat, she gave up.

Looking at the two who were embracing and kissing, the huge grief made Chu Yin's body sway a little, and he directly fell to the ground.

Chu Tiange had been hiding in secret the entire time, and only appeared when he saw Chu Yin lying on the ground.

Wei Qing's heart felt as though it was being stabbed by a blade, she really did not want Chu Yin to take risks again for her sake.

Although he was sad and in pain now, it was better than not having the chance to ascend to the throne in the future!

Wei Qing retracted the mist in her eyes, pushed Xiao Qingqian away, and said hoarsely: ”Let's go!”

”Wait!” Chu Tiange called out with a cold voice.

Wei Qing stopped and turned to look at her.

After Chu Tiange fed a pill to Chu Yin, he slowly laid him on the ground and walked towards Wei Qing, step by step.

Wei Qing did not dare meet her starry eyes, ”Princess, do you have anything else to say?”

”Pa ~ ~”

Chu Tiange finally arrived in front of Wei Qing and mercilessly slapped her across the face.

Wei Qing's face turned to the side, her mouth full of sweetness.

The pressure around Xiao Qingqian became even lower, and he grabbed onto Chu Tiange's wrist, ”You dare to hit this duke's wangfei?”

Chu Tiange scoffed, ”This princess wishes that Prince Chu and Princess Chu will have children and live side by side for long!”

Every extra word she said made Wei Qing's heart tighten.

Seeing that Xiao Qingqian was about to break Chu Tiange's wrist, Wei Qing said anxiously, ”Don't do anything stupid!”

Xiao Qingqian's eyes shone like torches as he looked at Wei Qing, and slowly loosened his grip.

Wei Qing looked at Chu Yin who was on the ground from afar and took a deep breath, ”Today, I will treat this slap as a gift from the princess in place of Prince Qi. From then on, I have nothing to do with Prince Qi! What the princess said just now, I shall gift it to Prince Qi and Princess He Yue as well! ”

When Chu Tiange struck Wei Qing just now, he only hoped that Wei Qing could awaken.

If not for Xiao Qingqian intervening, if Wei Qing had been willing to change her identity and go with Chu Yin to the Southern Kingdom, how could the situation be like this?

Once Wei Qing finished, she restrained the pain in her heart and pulled Xiao Qingqian along with him as he turned to leave.

Just as he walked out of the courtyard, Wei Qing's figure flashed, but fortunately for her, she reacted quickly and pulled her into her embrace. Otherwise, this fall would have smashed her forehead.

”Are you alright?” Xiao Qingqian asked gently.

Wei Qing shook her head.

Those words had almost exhausted all of her strength. At this moment, she really couldn't move anymore.

Xiao Qingqian studied her for a while, then picked her up and left in big strides.

After returning to the Prince Chu’s Mansion, he anxiously asked Zhu Er to find some medicine to cure the swelling and personally daubed it on her face.
