Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King

His ruthless words stabbed Liqing’s heart harshly like a knife. She turned to look at Xuanyuan Mo going farther and farther from her. With her eyes full of fierceness, she shouted, “Mo, do you really not remember me? I’m Liqing who helped break your seal!”

Her voice was extremely plaintive as if suffering extreme wrong.

Hearing her mention breaking the seal, Xuanyuan Mo hedged and looked fierce. Dang. It was that wolf woman. Why was she here? When did she become the sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region?

Xuanyuan Mo felt a dart of panic, clenched Duanmu Xi’s hand and walked faster.

Duanmu Xi next to Xuanyuan Mo could clearly feel his emotional swing. The feeling of fretfulness welled up in her heart again.

Zhou Manyun watched Xuanyuan Mo flee in a flurry with smiling eyes.

Everyone was confused to see the scene. What was going on? The sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region seemed to be acquainted with Prince Zhan but judging from Prince Zhan’s appearance, it seemed that he didn’t know her.

As Xuanyuan Mo didn’t stop due to her words, Liqing had fierceness in her eyes and shouted again, “Mo, I’m… pregnant with your baby.”

Everyone was shocked to hear her words and then burst into an uproar.

“What did she say? She is pregnant with Prince Zhan’s baby!”

“Gee! Is it true? She is pregnant with Prince Zhan’s baby. What should Princess Consort Zhan do?”

“If this is true, Prince Zhan will be messed up. He has been married for more than one month only. Now that such a thing is happening, Empress of Zhuque, Emperor of Qinglong and Princess Consort Zhan’s three masters won’t let go of Prince Zhan.”

“Alas. Men are unreliable. Even a man who is always distant from women like Prince Zhan is philandering with other women. Worse still, he even has gotten the woman knocked up. I’m so sorry for Princess Consort Zhan.”

…

Xuanyuan Lie was startled too. His first feeling was that Liqing was lying. He knew his own son. Since his son loved Crown Princess of Zhuque so much, how could he sleep with another woman and even let her pregnant with his baby?

Zhou Manyun cracked a complacent smile. The fun started now.

Guo Hui’er was ready to watch the show. She thought that this sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region was a foxy woman. However, now, she found Liqing quite pleasing.

Looking at Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Hao seemed sure to win.

Upon hearing Liqing’s words, Duanmu Xi just didn’t believe it. Her Snow would never do such a thing. She looked at Xuanyuan Mo with determination and hoped that he could give her a determined gaze.

Xuanyuan Mo was dumbstruck. His mind was blank. Everything happened too suddenly. He was caught off guard. He even had completely forgotten that woman’s existence.

His hand holding Duanmu Xi was slightly trembling. Never had he ever felt so frightened. He didn’t even dare to look into her eyes.

Her heart was getting colder and colder but deep in her heart, she believed that her Snow would never betray her.

Liqing looked at Duanmu Xi gloomily and sneered faintly.

Liqing directly rushed to Duanmu Xi barefooted and knelt on the ground, pulling Duanmu Xi’s dress’s hemline and imploring, “Crown Princess of Zhuque, please. I don’t need the identity. I only want to be around His Highness and give birth to the baby safely. I will never compete for His Highness’s favor against you. Please let me stay with His Highness.”

She addressed Duanmu Xi as Crown Princess of Zhuque rather than Princess Consort Zhan. In her heart, she would never admit Duanmu Xi was Princess Consort Zhan.

Duanmu Xi felt disgusted. She disliked being touched by strangers. This woman was grasping her dress’s hemline. Duanmu Xi suddenly felt that her dress was being pulled downward, which irritated her so much. Undoubtedly, this woman wanted to embarrass her. Hence, Duanmu Xi grabbed her dress and pulled the hemline out of Liqing’s hand.

“Argh…” With a scream, Liqing covered her belly and leaned aside.

Those people not in the know far away saw Liqing’s reaction and all thought that she was kicked down by Duanmu Xi.

“Princess Consort Zhan is so fierce. Even if she disagrees with Liqing to go into Prince Zhan’s mansion, she shouldn’t kick Liqing down!”

“Exactly. She is still pregnant now. Did Princess Consort Zhan want to cause her to miscarry?”

“Princess Consort Zhan is so wicked!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Princess Consort Zhan doesn’t seem like such a person.”

“Yeah. The face is the index of the heart. A beauty like Princess Consort Zhan can’t do such a vicious thing.”

“We couldn’t see what happened there from here. We can’t wrong Princess Consort Zhan. Maybe that woman deliberately fell to the ground so as to frame Princess Consort Zhan.”

The people in the hall were basically divided into two parties. One was in favor of Liqing while the other party was for Duanmu Xi. Still, a majority of them were for Duanmu Xi. Especially almost all the women in the hall were supporting Duanmu Xi. They had seen this kind of show between the legitimate wife and the mistress every day. Of course, these wives and legitimate daughters were in favor of Duanmu Xi.

Hearing their discussion, Liqing smiled complacently with her eyes drooping.

When she raised her head, the veil on her face was gone. Her pretty face showed itself in plain sight. She was not as pretty as Princess Consort Zhan but she was coquettish and enchanting.

“Crown Princess of Zhuque, come to me if you are disgruntled. Yet, the baby is innocent. You can’t be so ruthless to make it fatherless upon being born. Please let me stay with His Highness considering that I’m pregnant with His Highness’s baby.”

While talking with grievances, Liqing wiped away her tears with the sleeves. The men present couldn’t help feeling sorry for her pitiful look. If they were Prince Zhan, they would surely accept her love. In their hearts, it was normal that a man had many wives and concubines. Moreover, this sacred maiden of the Wilderness Holy Region was so enchanting and pretty. Any man could be fascinated by her. No wonder the cold prince would fall for her.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi laughed out of anger, “You’ve begged the wrong person. You should beg him.”

Then, Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo aside.

Hearing that, Liqing also looked at Xuanyuan Mo, her coquettish eyes full of affection, “Mo, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect that I would be pregnant after that night but I’m really happy that I can give birth to a baby for you.”

Liqing touched her belly with a tender look.

Duanmu Xi felt her heart aching very severely. She wanted to turn around and leave. She didn’t want to hear this woman talking but she couldn’t. She must know the truth and the truth must be told by Snow. She would only believe what Snow said. She would never believe others’ words.

Currently, Xuanyuan Mo slowly composed himself. He looked coldly at Liqing still kneeling on the ground in front, “As I said, you are not qualified to be around me or give birth to a baby for me. I will never want any other woman in this life. Even if you don’t want an identity, I won’t accept you.”

Then, regardless of the others’ gazes, Xuanyuan Mo directly held Duanmu Xi’s hand and left the Huwei Hall.

Duanmu Xi was completely disappointed. What did Snow mean? She didn’t even dare to think about it. Even if the answer went without saying, she still held expectations, hoping that she was wrong.

Liqing in the Huwei Hall stared at Xuanyuan Mo going away in a daze. Why did he act like this? This was beyond her expectation. Didn’t the snow wolf clan care about the descendants most? Why was he still unswayed after learning that she was pregnant with his baby? Was Duanmu Xi more important than his descendant in his heart?

She narrowed her coquettish eyes maliciously. Her eyes were full of unreconciledness. She wouldn’t give up so easily. He didn’t care about the descendant but someone did. She said inwardly, “Duanmu Xi, we will meet again very soon.”

Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo had got out of the imperial palace. Xuanyuan Mo clutched Duanmu Xi’s hand tightly. He didn’t want to let go, not a bit.

Duanmu Xi didn’t know how she got out of the palace. She felt as if she were a walking corpse. She was utterly disappointed. Her trust was crushing bit by bit.

She suddenly stopped but she didn’t turn to look at Xuanyuan Mo. Instead, she lowered her head to stare at her dress’s hemline, “You don’t want to say anything?”

Her voice was deep yet composed.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo was flustered and tightened his grip on Duanmu Xi’s hand but he still said nothing.

After a long time, Xuanyuan Mo still didn’t utter a word. Duanmu Xi turned around and looked into his eyes, asking word by word, “Did you really do it with her?”

Xuanyuan Mo looked into Duanmu Xi’s clear and purple eyes. He suddenly felt his heart aching and a sense of deep guilt welled up in his heart. Previously, when he knew that Liqing broke the seal for him, he only felt a bit disgusted without any sense of guilt. Nevertheless, now, he felt as if he had committed a capital crime. Even dying ten thousand times couldn’t expiate his guilt.

“I’m sorry…”

He slowly loosened his hand. Even if he had a lot to say, he could only say sorry. He didn’t know what else he could say. He did sleep with that woman. Even though he didn’t remember it, the fact couldn’t be erased.

His apology struck a blow against Duanmu Xi. She staggered two steps back, her dark purple eyes filled with tears. Yet, she still strived to widen her eyes to keep the tears from rolling down.

Suddenly, she laughed. Looking at this extremely strange man in front, she laughed, “You are sorry? Good for you. Xuanyuan Mo, shame on you.” This man was not her Snow. Her Snow wouldn’t do this to her.

Duanmu Xi’s sad laughter and sorrowful words made Xuanyuan Mo’s heart clench with pain. He dashed forward to hug Duanmu Xi and said anxiously, “I’m sorry, Xi. Give me a second chance. I won’t do it again. Never.”

Duanmu Xi pushed Xuanyuan Mo away harshly. Her dark purple eyes were full of disdain, “Keep your hands off me. You are so dirty!”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo shivered. His mind was totally blank but the words–“You are so dirty.”

Duanmu Xi didn’t want to see Xuanyuan Mo again. She turned around aloofly and tears instantly rolled down her cheeks.

“You are mine. You can only be mine.”

“Yes, I only belong to you. I want nobody but you.”

“It is an appellation only. Why are you so mad?”

“Okay. I won’t stop others from calling me Mo then.”

“How dare you…”

“I remember… someone just said that it was an appellation only.”

“You… Anyway, you just mustn’t.”

“No, never. I will never give them any chance.”
