Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 214 - A Woman's Heart



Jian Guozhi was going towards the chamber of Zhilao Mi for dinner when he encountered Xue Yu-Yan midway. "What are you doing here?" Jian questioned her.

"I am here to take you with me to my chamber. You are forgetting that you have a Consort as well," Xue Yu-Yan pronounced. Jian ignored Xue Yu-Yan and stepped ahead when she caught his arm. He tilted his head, "Leave."

But Xue Yu-Yan did not let go of his arm instead, she came in front of him. "Jian Ge, if you go to her chamber tonight then trust me, I will end up killing her. Do not blame me later," Xue Yu-Yan threatened Jian Guozhi.

Jian Guozhi continued staring at her for a while and then spoke, "Xue, you should not have married me. Try laying a finger on her. I swear I will kill you before that. Don't test my patience. Just stay away from me. You disgust me," Jian muttered and pushed her away. Xue Yu-Yan gritted her teeth.

"Jian," she shouted at him and continued, "Don't test me. I want to become the Crown Princess and for that..." She stopped speaking as Jian shouted at her.

"Yu-Yan, stop. You will never become an Empress. As long as I am alive, I will not let you become the Crown Princess. So, stop dreaming that you can become one," Jian Guozhi told Xue Yu-Yan who knitted her brows. Jian moved towards her and grabbed her neck. The part of the Palace where the two were arguing was isolated so no one could see them.

Xue Yu-Yan gripped his hand, trying to remove that from her neck. "Just because you are favored by my mother does not mean that I would let you say anything to me. You used to roam behind Sheng Li, but when he deceived you, married another woman, you came after me! You are power-hungry who neither deserve any love nor any mercy. I wish I could kill you right now," Jian menacingly said and left his grip from her neck.

Xue Yu-Yan started coughing and gasped for the air. She glared at Jian Guozhi who snickered and walked away. Tears formed in the eyes of Xue as she sat on the ground. Lei Wanxi happened to see all this. Before Xue Yu-Yan could see him, he hid behind the pillar. Peeking from the side of the pillar, he saw Xue Yu-Yan was leaving the place. 

Once she left from there, he quickly came to the front. "What was that? Elder First Brother and Consort Xue fighting with each other! That's why a man should not get married to more than one woman. But why was she asking to become the Empress? What is going on? What is Weng Wei planning this time?!" Lei Wanxi contemplated.

Xue Yu-Yan arrived at her chamber. She told the maidservant not to bring dinner and went to the bed. She laid on it on the support of her belly. Tears started flowing down her eyes. 

When she entered her teenage years, she was taught only one thing: to become the potential wife of the next-in-line Crown Prince. She was told to forget about her aspirations and was told to focus on that one goal. That was the difference between a girl born in a royal family and a girl born in a normal family, that is, not to be able to live her life freely.

She had heard only in the stories how the pathetic life of a woman in the Palace of the King or a Prince never came to her. But she had never imagined that such a thing would ever happen to her. 

She sat up on the bed and wiped the tears off her eyes. "Why don't I deserve the love?" Xue Yu-Yan murmured. More tears poured down her eyes. From the back of the palm, she wiped them again. She looked around and saw how lonely she felt in that chamber, particularly in that Palace. 

"It all happened because of Ying Lili. Jian started acting weirdly with me because the Empress and I want her to be dead. This Lili," she clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, "…I will kill you by my own hands and then I will kill Zhilao Mi. Yes, I will do this. I will kill them both." Xue Yu-Yan shouted and laughed loudly, which echoed in the entire room. 

Jian Guozhi had reached the chamber of Zhilao Mi who was eagerly waiting for him. "Jian Ge," she whispered his name and passed a tiny smile to him, but the smile on her face disappeared when she found Jian Guozhi was in anger. 

"What happened? You do not look to be in a good mood," Zhilao Mi looked into his eyes. 

"Stay away from Yu-Yan. That woman gives me a headache. I should not have married her," Jian Guozhi said with exasperation. 

"Jian Ge, have a seat," Zhilao Mi said as she made him sit on a chair there. She pulled out another chair for her and sat on it. Shifting her gaze towards Jian, she asked him the reason for his anger. 

"She wants me to spend a night with her. I don't want to! I hate the sight of her," Jian Guozhi immediately answered. His nose flared in anger. 

"Sister Xue also wants her husband to be with her. There is nothing wrong with that. After her marriage, Jian Ge has not even once spent time with her. I can feel a woman's heart. If I would be at her place, then I would have also felt an urge to spend some time with my husband," Zhilao proclaimed. 

Jian Guozhi found out how soft Zhilao was from her heart. Was it because she was unaware of Yu-Yan's true nature, or was it in her personality to be thoughtful towards everyone? 

"You do not understand. Let's have dinner," Jian Guozhi said. Zhilao Mi called a maidservant inside and ordered her to bring the dinner for them. The meals were served to them and the two started eating.
