She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 378 - 377: Kill Chen Di, The Deserved Retribution

Chapter 378: Chapter 377: Kill Chen Di, The Deserved Retribution

"Miss, that young master from the Chen Family is following behind us," Cong Ge, who was disguised, whispered into Yan Wanqing’s ear.

Chen Di was also following step by step, skulking furtively behind.

Yan Wanqing curved her lips into a smile and stopped, "Your Highness is really too much, to actually humiliate me in front of everyone just for the sake of a low-born wretch!"

She fiercely struck a flowering tree with her sleeve, and the petals fell with a rustle from the treetops down, making Yan Wanqing appear even more like a fairy from the heavens. Chen Di, who was watching from a distance, was so entranced that his eyes were wide.

Such a woman surely only belongs in heaven, so seldom heard of in this world!

At this sight, Chen Di no longer concealed himself, and strutted forward boldly.

"The favored consort must not be angry over such worthless trinkets; when you get angry, this humble one’s heart clenches with worry."

His words were reckless.

Cong Ge immediately chastised sharply at his side, "Who is this rascal? How dare he be so disrespectful to the consort! What should be his punishment?"

Chen Di stood there with a troubled expression, "The favored consort, this..."

Yan Wanqing looked Chen Di up and down with her fox-like eyes and raised her hand to stop Cong Ge, "Elder Brother Chen probably didn’t mean that, you may step back."

Cong Ge pretended to be distressed, "Consort, the Crown Prince instructed this servant to follow you at all times. If you do this..."

"Step back!" Yan Wanqing suddenly shouted.

Cong Ge immediately bowed her head and stepped aside with little steps.

Now, only Yan Wanqing and Chen Di were left.

Sounds of singing and dancing could still be faintly heard from afar. Yan Wanqing pretended to be heartbroken as she looked in that direction, "Do you think men are all the same, always laughing with the new and not caring for the tears of the old?"

Seeing the beauty almost in tears, Chen Di quickly stepped forward, wanting to reach out to her, but Yan Wanqing dodged away. He was not in a hurry though.

Since the favored consort did not object to his presence just now, it proved that she was not annoyed by him and might even be somewhat interested.

Now that she was talking to him about her issues with the Crown Prince, Chen Di was ever more certain that, with just a bit more effort, the favored consort would definitely become the jewel in his crown.

Thinking of such a blooming beauty eventually gracing him beneath him had Chen Di excited and filled with vigor.

"How can the consort say that? It all depends on the person. If this humble one had a stunning beauty like you, how could I possibly be fickle?"

Yan Wanqing lifted her foxy eyes to observe him, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true!"

"Smooth talker," Yan Wanqing snorted lightly.

Chen Di immediately laughed obsequiously, "As long as the consort is not angry, that is all that matters."

"Your tongue is quite sweet, and you speak well. It’s a pity the Crown Prince cannot flatter me as you do. He has already been bewitched by Miss Huai of the Huai Family and probably has long forgotten about me," Yan Wanqing said.

Yan Wanqing intentionally looked forlorn, which, as expected, made Chen Di more insistent.

"The consort is naturally beautiful, that Huai Xinmei can’t even match a single hair of yours. It’s not worth it for you to doubt yourself over someone like her." freёnovelkiss.com

"Oh? Is that so?" Yan Wanqing beckoned Chen Di with her finger, "Do you really think I am more beautiful than Huai Xinmei?"

Chen Di immediately nodded, "Everyone in the Northern Border who isn’t blind can see the consort’s beauty. How can Huai Xinmei be mentioned in the same breath as you?"

"Come here," Yan Wanqing’s words were soft and fragrant.

Chen Di stepped closer again, his gaze filled with fascination, "Favored consort..."

"Does the eldest son of the Chen family fancy me?"

"As long as Your Highness wishes it, all men under heaven would kneel beneath Your Highness’s pomegranate skirt." Chen Di reached out to touch Yan Wanqing’s waist but she laughingly twisted her body to avoid him.

"Chen Di, oh Chen Di, you’re still the same old you." Yan Wanqing chuckled, turning her back to him.

Chen Di was still entranced by her alluring scent, reaching out to touch her shoulder, "Your Highness speaks such words, but my heart for Your Highness is sincere. If I could receive even a moment of Your Highness’s pity, I would willingly die."

"Willingly die?" Yan Wanqing laughed deliriously, slowly tearing off her mask. Her voice turned icy cold, "Chen Di, I hope that when faced with this face of mine, you can remain true to your words."

Chen Di, with eyes full of infatuation, took a moment to recover before attempting to place his hand on Yan Wanqing’s shoulder, only to see her turn around, revealing a face that chilled him to the bone.

Just as breathtakingly beautiful, but Chen Di no longer harbored any romantic thoughts.

"Yan, Yan Wanqing!" Chen Di exclaimed in shock.

"Indeed, it’s your dear granny." The malice of hatred glimmered in Yan Wanqing’s eyes as she stared intently at Chen Di, a meaningful smile spreading across her face, "I didn’t expect you to still remember me, Chen Di."

Chen Di staggered back several steps in fright, "You, you were supposed to be dead!"

"Dead?" Yan Wanqing scoffed, "The people of the Northern Border are not dead yet, so why would I walk ahead of you?"

In the blazing summer, Chen Di was drenched in sweat, feeling as if he had seen a ghost come to life.

Just moments ago, she was a beauty as delicate as flowers, and now she transformed into Yan Wanqing’s face, a vengeful specter come to claim lives.

That day, he had clearly fished out the bodies of those three women from the river himself.

But why, how could she be standing alive before him right now?

Chen Di pointed at Yan Wanqing, his drunken brain finding a moment of clarity, "You, Crown Prince, you all..."

In a flash, Chen Di realized, "This is a conspiracy!"

This was a trap that Yan Wanqing and the Crown Prince had set for the Northern Border. Today’s Summer Sacrifice, intended to worship heaven and earth, was instead the downfall of the entire Northern Border’s elite!

Seeing Chen Di’s realization, the coldness in Yan Wanqing’s peach-blossom eyes deepened, "Chen Di, you’re not too stupid. Today is the day you heartless beasts will meet your end!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than she, without the slightest hesitation, thrust the short sword hidden in her sleeve directly towards Chen Di’s chest.

Watching Chen Di’s eyes widen in disbelief, Yan Wanqing quickly drove the short sword deeper into his chest cavity, burying the dagger wholly inside his body!

"You—" Chen Di’s lips were stained with blood, he didn’t even have a chance to struggle before he was gone.

Yan Wanqing stepped back as Chen Di collapsed with a crash. She remained indifferent the entire time, her actions sharp and decisive.

"My lady." Hong Wu stepped out from the side, offering her a handkerchief, "There’s blood on your wrist."

Yan Wanqing took the handkerchief and wiped it off expressionlessly, "Clean up the corpse neatly, make sure no one discovers it, there’s still more drama to unfold."

Hong Wu’s gaze was equally sinister, "These scum must pay the price!"

With that, she bent over, grabbed one of Chen Di’s feet, and dragged it towards the depths of the courtyard, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Yan Wanqing carelessly tossed the handkerchief to one side, unconcerned about it being seen.

Right now, she didn’t know how Xiao Pingfeng was faring up ahead. Huai Xinmei must be especially pleased, to receive the Crown Prince’s favor, she must be dreaming of ascending to the heavens.

No rush, take it slow.

This end-of-days revelry, the Summer Sacrifice.

The guilty shall receive their deserved retribution!
