Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 254: Divorce plan

Ning Yunxiao was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He rubbed his splitting headache and heard Jiang Lige's somewhat annoyed voice outside.

"Is Deng Sijiu in there? Ning Yunxiao, open the door for me!"

Ning Yunxiao was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, he accidentally touched a pair of soft and boneless hands.

In an instant, Ning Yunxiao woke up completely!

At this moment, his outer robe had long disappeared, and although his inner clothes were still neat, they were still indecent!

And when he turned around, he saw a familiar face lying on the bed——

Bai Jinyuan.

Bai Jinyuan's fair smiling face was now showing an ambiguous pink, and her eyes were staring at Ning Yunxiao shyly, and she called out to him in a charming way.

"Your Highness~"

Ning Yunxiao was horrified and immediately jumped up from the bed.

"Why are you here!"

"Your Highness has forgotten?"

Bai Jinyuan smiled softly, lying on the couch, supporting her chin with one hand and laughing.

"Your Highness just got drunk, and then..."

Ning Yunxiao slowly came to his senses at this moment and said angrily.

"It's just a glass of wine, how could I get drunk? You must have done something to me!"

"Your Highness, please keep your voice down. Otherwise, if that person outside and her good sister rush in, wouldn't that be a disgrace to Your Highness?"

Bai Jinyuan continued to smile and explained nonchalantly, "I was only following the Empress' orders to bring some things to Your Highness. I never thought Your Highness would be so drunk and do something foolish."

Outside the door, Jiang Lige and Zheng Baoyao were still knocking on the door persistently, calling Ning Yunxiao's name angrily.

The exasperated voice made Ning Yunxiao subconsciously think of what Jiang Lige said today.

She said, "If you make me angry, I will go far away and never see you again in my life."

At that time, Ning Yunxiao had never thought that his previous promise would be overturned so quickly.

Ning Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and finally lowered his voice and spoke to Bai Jinyuan on the bed.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"If you kill me, will Princess Zhaohua forgive you?" Bai Jinyuan chuckled and asked, "I'm afraid it will only solidify the relationship between Your Highness and me."

I have to say that what Bai Jinyuan said is true.

If Ning Yunxiao wanted to make the matter disappear, killing Bai Jinyuan was definitely not a good idea.

Ning Yunxiao picked up the outer robe from the shelf and put it on, then relaxed as if in compromise.

"Whatever you want, just tell me directly. I can give it to you within my ability. There's no need to resort to such despicable means."

"Will Your Highness satisfy whatever I want?"

"I'll do my best."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinyuan got up from the bed, walked slowly to Ning Yunxiao, and poked his chest with her hand.

"I want... Your Highness's heart."

The smell of thick powder filled the air around him, and Ning Yunxiao frowned in disgust.

This time he was no longer afraid of Yu Bai Jinyuan's coercion, but violently strangled the slender neck that was close at hand, pressed the slender white neck directly against the vermilion pillar, and said with gritted teeth.

"You're dreaming!"

The suffocating pain in her neck made Bai Jinyuan almost speechless, but she still tried her best to raise her head and met Ning Yunxiao's violent and sharp eyes.

"Your Highness is really going to kill me for Jiang Lige?"

Ning Yunxiao's expression remained unchanged, and a scornful arc appeared on his lips.

"Are you worthy of being compared with her?"

"Why am I unworthy!" Bai Jinyuan roared angrily, "Back then, when His Highness succeeded in Jingzhou, it was my Bai family who gave us all our support! From beginning to end, Jiang Lige has never done anything for His Highness, only enjoying the comforts of your wings! How could such a woman deserve your favor? Why?! Our Bai family has done so much for His Highness, and yet he doesn't even get a little bit of care!"

The sharp question caused sparks to fly throughout the huge palace.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yunxiao glanced at Bai Jinyuan's face nonchalantly, with a look of condescending pity as if he was looking at a beggar.

"What she did for me is something you will never see, compare to, or even deserve. Those who are blind and heartless are not worthy of commenting on our relationship."

The two people were angry and made a lot of noise, and Jiang Lige outside obviously heard it.

He thought something was wrong and pushed the door open with all his might, not caring about others trying to stop him.

At this moment, the two people inside were still maintaining the same posture. Ning Yunxiao was wearing the blue brocade robe that Jiang Lige had given him, and he was pinching Bai Jinyuan, who was only wearing her inner clothes, and pushing her against the pillar.

In an instant, the faces of everyone present...

Each one is more subtle than the other.

Jiang Lige had to admit that when she saw this scene, her voice seemed to tremble, as if a rusty needle had pierced her chest, causing intense pain in her heart.

Then, she forced a smile with a trembling voice and asked.

"What are you...?"

In this situation, anyone would feel that it was full of ambiguity. When being questioned by Jiang Lige like this, Ning Yunxiao only felt a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart, unable to defend himself.

"Ari, please listen to my explanation, I..."

Ning Yunxiao paused in panic, and Jiang Lige's eyes, which were usually bright, dimmed at this moment.

At this moment, a bright yellow figure strode into the hall, seemingly unaware of the surging temptation between the two people.

"Alright, Xiao'er, you don't have to worry about this. I touched her, and I will naturally give her an explanation."

"Your Majesty?"

After Emperor Shengwu finished speaking, everyone present was shocked, but he just chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you tell my 'Concubine Bai' to go down and change your clothes?"

Eunuch Lu on the side reacted very quickly, lowered his head and reached forward to support Bai Jinyuan's forearm.

Although he seemed respectful, he actually strangled Bai Jinyuan's hand fiercely, and the skin under the cloth was probably red and swollen.

"Mrs. Bai, please?"

The warning could not be more obvious.

Emperor Shengwu's words instantly resolved Ning Yunxiao's deadlock. Even though he was still angry at Emperor Shengwu for his biological mother's death, he had no choice but to accept Emperor Shengwu's kindness.

As for Jiang Lige, although he was a little confused about the drama in front of him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that Ning Yunxiao had nothing to do with it.

Everyone in the room had different thoughts, but Emperor Shengwu seemed to be completely unaware and said something out of the blue.

"I have a few important words to say to the prince."

Jiang Lige and Zheng Baoyao immediately said sensibly, "In that case, we'll go back first."

After saying this, the two of them turned around and left the East Palace.

Ning Yunxiao slowly came to his senses at this moment, and looked at Emperor Shengwu with a complicated look.

"Bai Jinyuan is not a good person. Keeping her in the harem will not benefit you in the slightest."

Emperor Shengwu remained calm and said, "If I kill her, a clever girl like Zhaohua will definitely notice something is wrong."
