Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 421 The Crown Princess in a Female-Dominated World (Part 5)

"Oh! Young Master Lü, it's my wedding day. What brings you here in such a manner?"

With a thud, Lü Jinghuai knelt on the ground without warning.

The onlookers were stunned.

They thought this young master Lü had come in a menacing manner, demanding an explanation. What's going on now?

The moment Lü Jinghuai knelt down, the entire wedding hall fell silent.

Even the joyful music stopped, leaving only the faint sound of the red candle burning.

Qingmo, sitting at the head of the table, squinted and tapped her fingertips lightly on the armrest twice.

She was getting married today, and her wedding dress made her face look even more handsome and sharp, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"What does Young Master Lü mean by this?" she asked slowly and deliberately.

Lu Jinghuai raised his head, his eyes red-rimmed: "Your Highness, it was Jinghuai who was wrong. I shouldn't have taken advantage of your favor and become arrogant."

"Now I know I was wrong. I beg Your Highness to consider our past relationship and let me stay by your side, even if it's just as a concubine."

Lü Jinghuai burst into tears, his forehead hitting the ground heavily.

The Second Princess, who had just stepped into the hall, saw this scene and her face turned so dark it was almost dripping with water.

That damned Lü Jinghuai! He just refused her touch, was it all so he could climb into the Emperor's bed?

That despicable man.

Qingmo suddenly smiled.

She got up and walked over step by step, her wedding dress embroidered with gold thread trailing on the ground.

"A concubine? Ha~" She squatted down in front of Lü Jinghuai and pinched his chin.

"Young Master Lü, your reputation is now ruined. What makes you think you can be my concubine?"

Lu Jinghuai gritted his teeth, "His Highness's affection for me is genuine, and based on everything we've done in the past, I believe His Highness will not abandon me."

He was gambling, gambling on Chu Zhaoning's feelings for him.

If she truly loathed him, why would she have taken his body?

Ultimately, it was simply because he had angered her; he had forgotten his place, which was why she was momentarily annoyed.

He believed that as long as he humbled himself, Chu Zhaoning would definitely not be able to bear to part with him.

"Shh—" Qingmo pressed her index finger to his lips, "How can such a beautiful mouth say such shameless things?"

"Lu Jinghuai, you overestimate yourself. You are not worthy to be my concubine!"

"Guards, throw Young Master Lü out. Don't defile my wedding hall."

At Qingmo's command, several guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lü Jinghuai, and dragged him outside.

Lu Jinghuai really didn't expect that even though he had already bowed his head, why would Chu Zhaoning still refuse to forgive him?

Does she really have absolutely no sense of gratitude?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

She had once given him such passionate and unique affection; how could she possibly let go of it so easily?

"Chu Zhaoning!" He finally tore away his docile facade, his voice hoarse as he called out her name, "Are you really so heartless?!"

"Heartless?" She chuckled softly, slowly walking back to him and looking down at him.

Her fingertips gently traced his cheek; it was a tender gesture, yet it sent chills down Lü Jinghuai's spine.

"I gave you a chance," she murmured with a sigh, "but you were ungrateful and thought I would indulge you forever."

Lu Jinghuai's face turned ashen, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Yes, he once thought that no matter how outrageous he was, she would tolerate him.

After all, she had indulged him so much that he had forgotten—she was, after all, the crown prince, the future empress.

But he was merely the son of a subject.

"Your Highness..." his voice was low and hoarse, filled with his last hope, "If I change, would you... be willing to give me another chance?"

"It's too late," she said calmly. "You've exhausted my patience."

Lu Jinghuai was struck dumb, frozen in place.

Just then, Chu Jiaojiao, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He sneered and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty is being far too heartless. Everyone knows you are in love with Young Master Lü, so why are you taking Qiao away like this today?"

Qingmo slapped her across the face.

"How dare you! Who gave you permission to speak to me like that?"

"Second sister, you seem to have forgotten that Father has confined you to your quarters. If it weren't for my wedding today, you probably wouldn't even be able to leave the mansion."

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the wedding hall. Chu Jiaojiao covered her face, a flash of resentment in her eyes.

However, she was used to pretending to be aloof, and quickly regained her composure.

It was as if she wasn't the one who had just been slapped.

"Elder sister, I have overstepped my bounds, but seeing how sincere Young Master Lü is, I cannot bear to see you miss out on a good man."

Qingmo scoffed, "A good man? Ha~"

"I wonder whether he is my destined husband or my imperial sister's destined husband?"

The air inside the wedding hall suddenly froze.

Two women vying for one man—the onlookers say: they love watching!

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness?" Chu Jiaojiao forced a smile, but her voice trembled slightly.

Qingmo slowly stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist. "It doesn't mean anything. If you don't understand, just pretend I didn't say anything."

She stared at Chu Jiaojiao with a half-smile, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Chu Jiaojiao harbored resentment in her heart, but dared not retaliate on the spot.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile, "You're joking, Your Majesty."

Qingmo didn't say much. Today was her big day, and she couldn't let these two people spoil her mood.

However, we could give them a gift!

Lu Jinghuai was thrown out of the Crown Princess's residence, while Chu Jiaojiao, after drinking a cup of wedding wine, hurriedly boarded the carriage back to the residence.

However, the carriage was robbed halfway through its journey.

"Who goes there? How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

The man in black, his face hidden behind a mask, curled his lip. "We don't know who you are, why would we kidnap you?!"

Are you just being silly? This is just a load of nonsense.

"How dare you! You had better release this princess, or I will exterminate your entire clan!"

Chu Jiaojiao is still proud and arrogant, even at this point she's putting on airs.

"You're being long-winded!"

The man in black coldly replied, then slapped her, knocking out one of her teeth, and carried her into the dilapidated temple.

A group of people came and went in a hurry.

Once the Second Princess's household received the news, they immediately sent someone to the palace to inform the Empress.

The Empress was immediately enraged. How dare someone kidnap a princess right under the emperor's nose?

That's incredibly audacious.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me!"

"If you can't find the Second Princess, you will all die."

The head of the Imperial Guard rolled his eyes.

That's how the royal family is; they make them their subordinates all the time. What did they do wrong?

She was still sound asleep in her husband's bed when she was dragged out to work. Not only was her life miserable, but she might also lose her life.

That's just how miserable working people are!

"Yes! Your Majesty."

The commander of the Imperial Guards received the order and left. Martial law was declared throughout the city, and the Imperial Guards searched everywhere.

The Crown Princess's residence naturally received the news as well.

But today is her wedding day!

The world is vast, but nothing is more important than the bridal chamber. What does the disappearance of the imperial sister have to do with her?

She definitely didn't do it!!!
