The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 115 Chu Lian'er is Arrested

Chu Lian'er looked at the foolish woman in front of her. Did she even know what a hidden weapon was? A hidden weapon is a weapon used to attack the enemy when they are off guard. Who would notify the other party in advance before using a hidden weapon? What an idiot!

Chu Lian'er's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Hmph, a mere trick..." She nimbly dodged the silver needles that Dongfang Wan'er shot at her, but there were so many that one of them still pierced into Chu Lian'er's body, while she managed to dodge the rest.

Chu Lian'er said smugly, "Is that all? You underestimate me..." However, before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Dongfang Wan'er clapped her hands and said disdainfully, "Big sister, you think too highly of yourself... Carry him back..." As she spoke, she gestured for An Yi to carry the person away.

An Yi sighed helplessly. He knew that if he didn't do as Dongfang Wan'er asked, she would definitely throw a tantrum. So, he could only obediently carry her on his back.

At this moment, An Er and Qiu Qin were both carrying many things; they had just picked up the items from the ground, all of which Dongfang Wan'er had bought.

"Your Highness, you're finally back! If you hadn't returned, Master would have gone out looking for you..." An Ye had barely finished speaking when he saw An Yi carrying a woman...

"An Yi, why are you carrying someone on your back..." An Ye asked in confusion.

"You're back!" Ye Jiuchen came out at this moment. He saw An Yi carrying a woman and showed a hint of surprise on his face, but quickly regained his composure.

Ye Jiuchen also looked at An Yi, his eyes sharpening as if asking what had happened.

With a thud, he threw Chu Lian'er to the ground and then stood respectfully to the side.

“It’s her, Master…” An Ye looked up at Ye Jiu Chen, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Ye Jiuchen's eyes turned cold. He stared at Chu Lian'er on the ground for a while, then returned to normal, turned to Dongfang Wan'er, and said gently, "Wan'er, what's this?"

As she walked, Dongfang Wan'er recounted the events to Ye Jiuchen in detail. She said she had encountered this woman on the street, who begged her to save her, but she later discovered that the woman was actually faking it.

As Dongfang Wan'er spoke, Ye Jiuchen listened quietly, his gaze always fixed on her, his eyes filled with doting affection and concern.

After Dongfang Wan'er finished speaking, she felt her mouth was dry. Ye Jiuchen seemed to notice her discomfort and handed her a cup of tea, the kind she liked.

"Hmm, much better. By the way, do you know..." Dongfang Wan'er then remembered the woman An Ye had mentioned.

"I don't know him. I've only seen him before..." Ye Jiuchen replied indifferently.

"Um, I've seen her. She must have been attracted to your good looks..." Dongfang Wan'er guessed at the woman's motives.

“She is the princess of Chu…” An Ye couldn’t hold back any longer. “My two masters, when are you going to finish this? The princess of Chu is still lying on the ground.” It wasn’t that he felt sorry for her, but he felt that having someone lying on the ground was really a bit of a hassle.

“Um, that lady is a princess of the Chu Kingdom, what, a princess of the Chu Kingdom…” Dongfang Wan’er answered casually, then suddenly realized.

"What does she mean by 'trying to extort money from me'..." Dongfang Wan'er asked, puzzled.

"Wan'er, don't think so much. If you want her to live, she lives. If you want her to die, she'll be dead in an instant..." Ye Jiuchen said with a disdainful look.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er was shocked, and couldn't help but recall her past life. Back then, Princess Chu Lian'er of Chu, with her extraordinary wisdom and methods, had conquered all the small countries, leaving only the Tianchao, Jing, and Yuan Kingdoms still intact. And now, this very princess of Chu had become her prisoner.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Wan'er felt a strong urge: she must win over Chu Lian'er! After all, with her, she could control Chu's resources and intelligence, which would be of great help to her development.

Just then, Ye Jiuchen suddenly sneered, "Wan'er, don't think too much!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er knew Ye Jiuchen's madness and ruthlessness all too well. If he truly went berserk, he was probably capable of anything. Especially after he sold the Yuan Dynasty to the Jing Kingdom, the entire situation became even more unpredictable.

"Hmm, she's a princess of Chu, so let's not rush to kill her! Let's see what her purpose is first..." Dongfang Wan'er said after a moment of contemplation.

"Listen to Wan'er..." Ye Jiuchen nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Dongfang Wan'er's decision. He knew that Dongfang Wan'er was meticulous and that she must have considered her decision.

"Let her wake up first, I want to see her expression..." Dongfang Wan'er smiled coldly, then took out a bottle of pills from her bosom, opened the cap, and a fragrance wafted out.

Qiuqin took the pill, walked to Chu Lian'er's side, and placed it under Chu Lian'er's nose, letting her sniff it gently.

Soon, Chu Lian'er slowly woke up. She opened her eyes, looked around blankly, and found herself lying on the cold ground.

Chu Lian'er was shocked. She was a princess of Chu. How could she be treated like this? She struggled to stand up, but her body was limp and she had no strength at all.

"You're awake, eldest sister..." Dongfang Wan'er deliberately dragged out the sound, and then repeated it, just to make Chu Lian'er furious.

Chu Lian'er had just woken up when she heard this annoying voice, and she was so angry that she almost fainted.

"Aaaaaah, if you dare say that again, this princess will absolutely not let you off..." Chu Lian'er jumped up from the ground and roared furiously at Dongfang Wan'er.

"Ye Jiuchen, what are you doing here?" After Chu Lian'er shouted, she suddenly realized that Ye Jiuchen was also here, and there were many people around her, all looking at her as if she were crazy.

Chu Lian'er felt instantly devastated; she felt like she had gone mad. The image she had painstakingly cultivated over the years had been destroyed in an instant.

"Ninth Brother, what are you doing here? Oh dear, what am I doing here? Where is this place..." Chu Lian'er immediately changed to a gentle tone, as if the person who had just been shouting was not her at all.

Dongfang Wan'er looked coldly at Chu Lian'er, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "Hmph, Princess of Chu, you are truly utterly foolish. Don't you know that you are now my prisoner?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lian'er's face instantly turned ashen. Her eyes widened as she stared at Dongfang Wan'er in disbelief: "Impossible! I am a princess of Chu! Who dares to harm me?"

Dongfang Wan'er sneered, "So what if you're a princess of Chu? In my eyes, you're nothing but an ant. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better behave. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences."
