The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 322: The Regent can also climb over the wall?

"You want to be my principal wife? That's how you do it?" Chu Chenfeng's eyes were cold, and the strength in his hands did not weaken at all.

Xu Pingting was frightened by the cold look, especially since her life was still in Chu Chenfeng's hands at this moment. She never thought that Chu Chenfeng would attack her directly without any mercy.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, do you really not want to know... the cause of death of the late crown prince?" This simple sentence consumed almost all of Xu Pingting's physical strength.

"If I want to know, I can check it myself. But," Chu Chenfeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "you want to use this to threaten me? You are courting death!"

Xu Pingting was frightened by Chu Chenfeng, but she still held on to some hope and didn't want to give up. "Why...why? What...what I have...isn't good enough? How can I...not compare to that...Li Mulan?"

"Oh, you think you can compete with Lan'er? Are you worthy?" Chu Chenfeng didn't want to waste time talking to her. "You only have two choices. Either tell us what you know. Or, die!"

Xu Pingting's face had turned red at this moment. She was unwilling to accept it. "You... don't dare to kill me. I... I... am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you kill me, you will be in... will be in trouble. You can't... kill me."

"Hehe, so what if he's killed? Who would know?"

Yes, it was she, Xu Pingting, who followed Chu Chenfeng's men to see him in the middle of the night. No one in the mansion knew about it, not even her maid. If Chu Chenfeng really killed someone at this moment, then... who would think of him, Chu Chenfeng?

Xu Pingting was really scared now, "My Lord, are you really going to be so...heartless?"

"Love? How can there be any love between you and me?" He used more strength in his hands, as if he wanted to break Xu Pingting's neck.

Xu Pingting felt like she was really about to die, her eyes were bloodshot, "I...said..."

After hearing this, Chu Chenfeng stopped and threw the man to the ground like a rag.

Xing Yi, who was standing by, hurriedly handed over a clean handkerchief. Chu Chenfeng didn't even spare a glance at the disheveled person breathing heavily on the ground. He just wiped his hands as if he had just touched something dirty.

He threw the used handkerchief away and lay back on the recliner, looking lazy, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.

"explain."

Xu Pingting regretted it. How could she be so naive to think that she could make a deal with this murderous devil? She hated him, but now it was too late.

Seeing that she seemed to still be hesitating, Chu Chenfeng reminded her nonchalantly, "Don't think about deceiving me. The consequences...you can't afford them."

Xu Pingting shrank back, but eventually told Chu Chenfeng what she overheard her grandparents say.

Chu Chenfeng didn't seem surprised at all, "Then did they mention how they killed the former crown prince?"

Xu Pingting shook her head. "No...no."

"Haha," Chu Chenfeng laughed, "Then find a way to figure it out, understand?"

Xu Pingting suddenly looked up at Chu Chenfeng. What did he mean by this? Wanting her to be his spy?

"What? Don't want to?"

Xu Pingting gritted her teeth. Even though this man treated her so cruelly, she was unwilling to give up when she saw that handsome face that even the heavens would be moved. She wanted to try again, "Your Majesty, if you want me to serve you, you have to... you have to give something in return?"

"Oh? Then what do you want?" Chu Chenfeng looked at her with contempt as if she were a random person. "My wife?"

Xu Pingting could hear the sarcasm in his tone, "I know I am not worthy of you, Your Majesty. I dare not even think about the position of your principal wife. Please, Your Majesty, please consider my deep love for you and give me the position of your concubine. I will be grateful."

She no longer wanted to be the queen. It was because of this request she made just now that Chu Chenfeng almost killed her.

However, this does not mean that she has given up. A concubine is a concubine. Chu Chenfeng treats her like this now because he does not see her good side. In the future, he will definitely be fascinated by her.

Perhaps it is because she has heard too much flattery over the years that she really thinks she is a fairy and everyone would fall at her feet.

Chu Chenfeng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and glanced at Xing Yi impatiently.

Xingyi immediately took two steps forward, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and poured the medicine in it directly into Xu Pingting's mouth.

Xu Pingting was still standing there in a daze, and only started to resist after the medicine entered her mouth, but it was too late.

"Cough... cough cough... you... what did you give me to eat?"

Xing said expressionlessly, "Poison."

Xu Pingting's eyes widened, and she no longer cared about her image and started digging her throat with her hands.

Chu Chenfeng frowned tightly, without even looking at the person on the ground, and walked away.

Before leaving, he asked Xing Yi to take care of the rest of the matters.

Xu Pingting wanted to grab Chu Chenfeng's feet, but Chu Chenfeng didn't give her the chance at all.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!..."

Xu Pingting was so regretful now that she wanted to die. She really had nothing left and became a pawn in Chu Chenfeng's hands...

Chu Chenfeng walked out of the house directly. After a few steps, he said to the empty street behind him, "Don't follow me. I'll walk by myself."

The two secret guards hiding in the dark behind him looked at each other and then disappeared on the spot.

As Chu Chenfeng walked, he arrived at the Grand Tutor's Mansion unconsciously, and he was stunned.

Li Mulan went to bed late today, probably because she was very excited to see her third senior brother for the first time.

Qingyu passed by and took the tea from her hand, "It's too late to drink tea."

"Why aren't you asleep yet, sister?"

"I was getting ready to go to bed, and I saw the light in your room was still on, so I came over to take a look."

"Oh, there are a lot of things to do today. I am very energetic and can't sleep."

Li Mulan's tone was soft, as if she was acting coquettishly.

Qingyu smiled and sat down next to her, "Would you like to eat something? You must be hungry at this late hour."

Li Mulan shook her head. "I ate a lot for dinner. I'm not hungry."

"Then let me chat with you?"

"No need, sister is so busy every day, go and have a rest, I'm not thinking about anything, I don't have any worries, I just can't sleep, hehehe."

"Okay, then you don't..." Suddenly, Qingyu's eyes changed, and she appeared outside the door, holding a long whip in her hand, with a frosty face, "Who is it?"

Chu Chenfeng didn't expect that Qingyu would still be there at this time, and his expression was awkward for a moment, "Ahem! It's the king."

Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Li Mulan in the room.

Li Mulan heard Chu Chenfeng's voice and hurried out, "Why are you here?"

Chu Chenfeng smiled gently, "Nothing, just taking a walk. I didn't expect to come here, so I wanted to... see if you had rested."

Qingyu glanced at the two of them, silently went back to the room and got a cloak for Li Mulan to put on, then bowed slightly towards Chu Chenfeng and went downstairs.

Li Mulan laughed teasingly, "The Regent can also climb over the wall?"
