Good grief! He's starting to lecture himself again?
Although Chu Yue felt that Wei Tingyu's words had a strong fatherly tone, which made her very resentful, she had to admit that what he said was indeed the truth!
The warriors of the western desert are naturally fearless on the battlefield, but if they were to engage in politics in the imperial court, any censor could easily make their former father, a duke, dizzy!
Seeing Wei Tingyu finish lecturing her and turn to leave, Chu Yue, feeling frustrated, gritted her teeth and stood directly in front of him, blocking his way.
"Thank you so much for what I did inside!" Chu Yue said, gripping the whip tightly in her hands as if she were about to break it.
Her maidservant, standing beside her, stared at Chu Yue with a bewildered expression, her face filled with disbelief.
She had been by Chuyue's side since she was a child, and was considered her childhood playmate, but she had never seen her county princess look like this before!
Where is the image of that heroic woman riding a magnificent horse galloping across the land? She clearly looks like a little woman in love!
Wei Tingyu was somewhat surprised to see that Chu Yue, this little wild horse, actually took the initiative to apologize to him.
However, his face remained expressionless, and he knew that he had to play hard to get with this kind of girl!
Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu simply smiled slightly as a response to the other party's gratitude, then walked past them and prepared to continue leaving.
"Sigh!" Chu Yue was surprised that even after such a sincere apology, the other party ignored her. She immediately became anxious!
She didn't know why she wanted to spend more time with Wei Tingyu, even if it was just standing there without saying a word. Chu Yue felt sweet inside!
So she quickly called out again softly, and then continued to stand in front of Wei Tingyu.
"Um... I kept calling you 'Hey' on the way here... It was my fault!" Making conversation, she surprisingly admitted her mistake: "It's because I have a very... very short temper! Please don't take offense, Lord Marquis!"
Upon hearing this, the maid next to Chuyue's eyes widened even more, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets!
At this moment, she even wondered if her county princess was possessed by some unclean spirit.
Should we hurry back and report to the Duke, and ask him to invite a shaman priest to perform a ritual to exorcise evil spirits from the county princess?
After all, the idea of a county princess standing before a man, adopting such a submissive posture to apologize... even the maidservant thought it was impossible! If she heard someone say this, it must be a rumor!
However, this scene was unfolding right before her eyes, and even if she wanted to deny it, she couldn't!
"If I were to really hold a grudge against you..." Wei Tingyu smiled helplessly at Chu Yue's girlish demeanor, and then said, "You can't even call me 'Hey' anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yue's little eyes darted around, and she realized that what the other person said was indeed the truth.
Think about what happened to the censor's daughter in the hall just now! Wei Tingyu at least has a way to silence himself for an hour using the same method!
Does his failure to do so suggest that he felt completely different about himself and about the censor's daughter?
"But you... why did you help me just now, Lord Marquis?" Chu Yue couldn't help but smile again when she thought of this, and even bravely looked up at Wei Tingyu and asked.
"Because I'm in a good mood!" Seeing the girl's appearance, Wei Tingyu knew she was close to taking the bait. Of course, he couldn't just lift the rod now; he had to cast an even more enticing bait!
"Oh! Is that so?!" Chu Yue's eyes clearly showed some disappointment after hearing Wei Tingyu's words, and the corners of her mouth that were originally turned up also flattened out.
She had considered what Wei Tingyu's answer might be, after all, he had previously said that he had long heard of her reputation as the Pearl of Western Shaanxi and liked her very much upon seeing her today.
She had already mentally prepared herself to accept the other person's confession, but she didn't expect Wei Tingyu to change the subject and attribute today's events to his good mood.
Although Chu Yue was disappointed, her big, cute eyes remained fixed on Wei Tingyu's face, as if she wanted to imprint his image into her heart.
"What the Marquis just said... that he's going to the palace to ask His Majesty for permission to duel with Marquis Changqing..." Chuyue suddenly asked again, "Is it true?"
At that moment, she could even hear her own heart pounding wildly!
"Well..." Wei Tingyu naturally wanted to let this big fish take the bait on its own!
She smiled and winked, then slowly leaned closer, almost whispering in Chuyue's ear, "Guess?"
Chu Yue was surprised that Wei Tingyu would be so intimate with her on the street, but she was not shy at all and stood up straight without taking a step back!
Even when the other person's hot breath sprayed onto her ears and neck, her face only turned slightly red.
However, hearing the ambiguous answer from the other party made Chuyue immediately unhappy!
Guess? How am I supposed to guess?!
If you don't explain yourself clearly, you're not allowed to leave today! Chu Yue's eyes suddenly hardened at this thought. Anyway, she was fearless and had done all sorts of things. Even if someone saw her pulling and tugging in the street, she wasn't afraid!
"Or perhaps the county princess should ask herself?" Of course, Wei Tingyu could not be restrained by the wild nature of this little wild horse.
He could tell what this girl was up to just by looking at her eyes, so he smiled and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to really go, or do you want me to just say it?"
"I..." Chu Yue was stunned when she heard this. She never expected that Wei Tingyu would ask her this question in return!
But she simply didn't have the right answer in her heart!
All that remains is a jumble of thoughts, so many that even the person in question cannot sort out their own feelings!
To say that I don't want Wei Tingyu to go... that would be a lie!
Even Chu Yue herself didn't believe these words.

Chapter 194 Ren Ruyi Takes Revenge! Slaying the First Prince!
But if you were to say you hoped he would go... Chu Yue felt a strange sensation in her heart!
After all, wouldn't that make him nothing more than an object? A prize for the duel between the Marquis of Jining and the Marquis of Changqing?!
Besides, would His Majesty approve this after hearing the news? He might even fly into a rage! At this moment, she didn't want Wei Tingyu to be in any danger!
However, just as Chu Yue's eyes were darting around, unable to make up her mind, Wei Tingyu had already turned around and strode away into the crowd.
"I..." It wasn't until half an hour later that the girl regained her senses from her chaotic thoughts. Just as she was about to say something more, she realized that Wei Tingyu had already disappeared.
"Where is he?" Chu Yue stared wide-eyed at her surroundings, then turned to her maid with a bewildered expression and asked.
"She left a long time ago!" The maid also looked helpless, thinking to herself that her mistress had been standing there in a daze for a full quarter of an hour, so of course she was long gone.
Fortunately, Chuyue was a very reasonable mistress and wouldn't blame the servant for the mistake, so she could only purse her lips speechlessly and sigh inwardly.
At the same time, she reached out and took off the hairpin from her hair, examining it carefully in her hand.
"Marquis of Jining...!" She pouted as she examined the flowers, a shy, girlish expression on her face, and slowly walked forward.
However, her eyes were fixed on the flower, and she didn't look where she was going at all. The maid next to her nervously reminded her a few times before Chuyue realized what was happening.
"Wearing this while riding is a bit too incongruous!" Chu Yue glanced at her maid, afraid that she would laugh at her for staring at a flower for so long, and quickly cleared her throat before speaking.
After saying that, she held the flowers in her hands and put them behind her back, but she was reluctant to throw them away.
However, her appearance made the maid laugh again.
"Oh, right! Come with me to buy two more outfits! Otherwise, it'll be a shame if this hairpin doesn't go well with anything..." However, Chuyue's next words almost made the maid bite her tongue in fright.
She originally thought that the county princess thought it didn't look good to wear a riding outfit with a flower, so she planned not to wear this flower!
It turns out that she was going to buy a few more clothes suitable for girls in order to bring this flower with her!
"This... and you say you're not tempted?!" The maid couldn't help but mentally complain.
However, she only dared to complain in her heart, because the county princess was holding the hairpin tightly in her hands, and the smile on her lips could not be suppressed at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight ahead, heading towards the largest women's clothing store in the market!
Judging from this situation, there's no way to pull them back!
If the Duke were to see this scene, it would be hard to know whether he would be happy or sad!
What pleased him was that his wild daughter was finally dressing like a lady, but what worried him was that, in addition to Marquis Changqing, another Marquis Jining had emerged!
And what's more, the county princess's change was caused by this Marquis of Jining!
Little did they know the magnitude of the upheaval this would cause in the An Kingdom's court!
……
“Gold dust has always been a death sentence! The other guests who drank the Jade Spring Mystic Stone are all fine! This is clearly aimed at Father!” Chaos erupted in the Duke of Wang’s mansion as the heir apparent knelt before the eldest prince in terror.
Just now, Duke Wang vomited half a liter of blood and died! Moreover, he died of poisoning!
Therefore, everyone in the Duke of Wang's mansion was in a panic, and both masters and servants were trembling with fear.
Their only hope right now is the son-in-law of the Duke of Wang's family, who is also the eldest prince of Emperor An!
"It must have been the second prince! I'll go report to Father Emperor right now!" The eldest prince was also terrified by what he saw. Without thinking, he slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and headed straight for the palace.
……
Ten days later, a carriage that had set out from Andu, accompanied by dozens of guards, swayed and rattled towards the territory in the central part of the desert...
The passengers in the carriage were none other than Prince Li Shouji of Anguo and his brother-in-law, Prince Wang!
The two were currently swaying back and forth in the car, drinking alone and looking unhappy.
Previously, the eldest prince went to the palace to complain about his second brother, but Emperor An did not accept the case because there was no evidence.
He was resentful, so he plotted to frame the second prince, ordering his men to hide a dragon robe in the second prince's bedroom.
When he took Emperor An to expose the Second Prince's disloyal intentions, he unexpectedly discovered that the dragon robe had been switched and replaced with a very ordinary python robe.
Emperor An naturally understood the problem between his two sons.
The eldest son is trying to frame the second son, while the second son has set a trap for the eldest son to fall into! The two of them are now fighting tooth and nail over the position of crown prince!
In this calculation, it is clear that the Second Prince Li Zhenye is a cut above the rest!
