She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 498 - 497: Is this what you meant by being good to me for a lifetime?

Chapter 498: Chapter 497: Is this what you meant by being good to me for a lifetime?

The final result was a victory for Yan Hongzhao, who had outdone Chu Changming by shooting one more pheasant.

"A narrow win." Xiao Pingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had managed to keep those one hundred Sweat-Blooded Treasure Horses.

"What a thrilling day this has been!" he exclaimed with a hearty laugh.

He watched as Chu Qi pulled Chu Changming aside for a talk.

"Wanwan, once we return to the palace, I’ll make you a mat out of this leopard skin and then a coat out of his tiger skin," the Crown Prince said excitedly to Yan Wanqing, having arranged everything perfectly for the future.

"In just a few days..." His tone suddenly deepened a great deal, his gaze at her filled with enduring affection and entanglement, "Wanwan, you will become my Empress."

He had been waiting for this day for far too long.

Indeed, far too long.

Yan Wanqing’s cheeks turned a blushing red at her earlobes, and she nodded, "Yes, just a few days now."

Having defeated Chu Kingdom and about to marry the woman he loved as his Empress, Xiao Pingfeng was so overjoyed that he drank excessively.

"You can’t drink any more," said Chu Qi, unable to watch any further and flatly refusing to drink further with this lord.

The Crown Prince frowned, "Just drink!" He reached out to grab, and Chu Qi, having no way to stop him, could only give him the wine jug.

In the end, he hadn’t even taken a drink when he toppled in Yan Wanqing’s direction.

The crowd was frightened, hair standing on end.

Fortunately, Yan Wanqing was not the frail woman everyone thought her to be, and even though she was pregnant, she was still agile, supporting him with just one hand.

"The Crown Prince has had too much to drink, take him back to the tent first," she said.

As the host, Chu Qi couldn’t leave just yet, and neither could she.

As she watched Xiao Pingfeng being helped away by the Palace Attendants, she worried and specifically instructed Cong Ge to make some sobering soup and have the Crown Prince drink it upon waking before letting him rest.

Cong Ge took the order and left, which eased Yan Wanqing’s worry a little.

"Many years ago, it was also beside a bonfire that we first met," Chu Qi, who had also drunk quite a bit, spoke slowly, his turquoise eyes flickering with a bewitching glint in the firelight.

With so many people around, Yan Wanqing did not want to talk about the past.

Moreover, the journey North of the Pass had been far too painful for her.

"The King of Chu has drunk too much," she said.

Chu Qi lowered his head and chuckled softly, "...Perhaps." Maybe it was the alcohol after all.

It seemed Heaven had brought him thousands of miles here for a reunion with her.

Yet she was about to become someone else’s Empress.

"Cong Ge has gone to make the sobering soup. Serve a bowl to the King of Chu later," she added.

Hearing her call himself the King of Chu so distantly, Chu Qi felt quite bitter.

But now, he no longer had the status or position to care for her.

There was someone else by her side now.

And she was carrying that person’s child.

They would surely lead a happy and joyous life...

As Chu Qi was caught up in his thoughts, he saw Yan Wanqing’s personal maid swiftly approach and whisper something in her ear.

Although subtle, Chu Qi noticed a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.

Gone in an instant.

She stood up with a smile, saying she had to take care of something and would be back soon, before gracefully leaving with her maid.

On the way.

Yan Wanqing couldn’t suppress the murderous intent at the bottom of her eyes as she clasped her hands together and strode forward.

Outside the canvas of the tent stood two guards.

"Guard this place, and let no one enter. Anyone who defies will be killed without mercy!" she said with deadly intent.

The guards knew something serious was unfolding and prepared themselves.

Cong Ge followed Yan Wanqing, her eyes brimming with tears, at a loss for what to do.

Yan Wanqing walked step by step into the tent.

Beneath the curtain, two figures could be seen.

The arms that were once only meant for her now cradled another woman.

It was none other than Qin Erya.

"Bring the water over," she heard her own voice say.

Cong Ge’s hands trembled as she carried the basin over, and Yan Wanqing snatched it without a word, drenching the two people from head to toe.

Qin Erya nearly screamed out loud, hastily covering herself fully with the damp blanket upon seeing someone.

The man on the bed, however, seemed confused.

His dark pupils slowly focused, and he frowned deeply when he saw Qin Erya on the bed, then his gaze fell on Yan Wanqing, not far away.

"...How could you be in my tent!" As soon as he spoke these words, killing intent surged, and the air pressure around them plummeted sharply.

Qin Erya was pressed so hard that blood began to seep from her ears and nose.

"Xiao Pingfeng, is this what you meant by treating me well for the rest of my life?" Yan Wanqing was actually very calm at this moment.

She felt as if something inside her heart had suddenly crumbled, and when she saw them embracing in sleep, it was as if the world inside her heart lost all its vibrancy in an instant.

"It’s not like that, Wanwan..." Xiao Pingfeng rolled out of bed and tried to approach her but saw her step back, her hands dropping in mid-air.

He had drunk himself unconscious and had no idea what had happened.

How did this Qin Erya end up in this tent?

"Speak, how exactly did you get in here!" Xiao Pingfeng’s eyes were full of disgust. He raised his hand, and Qin Erya’s neck was seized in his palm.

She struggled to breathe, her eyes brimming with tears.

"It was the Crown Prince who pulled and, and wouldn’t let this servant leave, it was the Crown Prince..." She spoke in broken sentences.

Yan Wanqing let out a cold laugh and stumbled backward, with Cong Ge immediately supporting her: "Miss!"

She clasped her hand over the area of her chest.

So suffocating.

She felt like she could not catch her breath.

"Wanwan... Wanwan, what’s wrong with you?" Xiao Pingfeng approached anxiously, yet he dared not touch her lightly.

The stunning beauty, her eyes full of questioning, her body swaying, ultimately couldn’t hold on and fainted away.

At that moment, a commotion was heard from outside.

Chu Qi, heedless of the guards’ obstruction, barged in directly.

Seeing Yan Wanqing fainting in Xiao Pingfeng’s arms, he immediately rushed over.

The tent was not large, and everything was clearly visible.

Chu Qi had already guessed what had happened with near certainty.

"Xiao Pingfeng, well done!" Chu Qi gnashed his teeth: "Hand her over to me!"

Xiao Pingfeng’s dark eyes were grave: "She is my Empress, why should I give her to you?"

"Get out!"

Chu Qi did not back down an inch: "You’ve already defiled her."

"I have not!" Xiao Pingfeng suddenly looked up: "Keep talking nonsense, and I will kill you."

"This is a matter between her and me, it’s not your place to interfere," Xiao Pingfeng exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest: "One last time, get out."

Chu Qi’s eyes were full of solemnity, but at this point, Cong Ge could not hold back any longer: "Please, King of Chu, leave, and quickly call for Miss Yan Six to come in."

The miss had never fainted before, never!

Cong Ge wept urgently.

Chu Qi looked at Qin Erya on the ground, virtually unclothed, his eyes full of scorn.

He took off his outer robe and threw it directly onto her.

"The Qin family is said to have excellent family teachings, but I did not expect the granddaughter raised by Old Master Qin to be a slut who only knows how to climb into men’s beds!"

These harsh words humiliated Qin Erya deeply.

Her face was pale, with purplish bruises on her neck.

If it weren’t for Yan Wanqing fainting, she believed the Crown Prince really would have strangled her.

After gasping for air, she was humiliated by another man.

Qin Erya scoffed at herself.

"I will not leave."

Hearing her dare to say such words, Xiao Pingfeng could no longer restrain his killing intent.

Chu Qi positioned himself protectively in front of her.

"The students of the old Qin are spread all over the world. If you kill her, you will be opposing scholars everywhere," Chu Qi spoke each word with emphasis: "She wouldn’t want to see you in such a predicament either."

As soon as Yan Wanqing was brought up, the killing intent in Xiao Pingfeng’s dark eyes finally receded a bit.

Chu Qi stood by Qin Erya’s side: "If you don’t leave with me, I’ll say you tried to seduce me."

Qin Erya stared at him incredulously.

Chu Qi’s lips curved into a mischievous, roguish smile, but his green eyes couldn’t hide the bloodlust. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"Why not try, Miss Qin?"

Qin Erya bit her lip, her hatred barely contained as she donned her clothes. She took a deep look at Xiao Pingfeng: "Crown Prince, you will regret this!"

"Get out!" Xiao Pingfeng’s merciless reply was a single word.

Qin Erya left with tears in her eyes, following Chu Qi.

Soon after, Yan Lingzhen entered briskly, lifting the curtain.
