Chapter 410: Chapter 410 I’ve Never Liked Being Pointed at with Claws

Qi Yue gave the ladies a slight smile.

“…I’m somewhat puzzled as to why the person hosting this banquet insists on having you perform following the dancer, as if they harbor ill intentions…”

She said aloud, then with a delayed nod, she feigned sudden realization, “Ah, I see now, this banquet is taking place in the harem, and the host is either the Empress Dowager or the Empress… No wonder, with such an Empress Dowager and Empress, it’s inevitable that Princess Xiyang would turn out to be someone who doesn’t understand propriety, integrity, humility, and shame…”

“How dare you! This is the Western Chu Imperial Palace, you dare to speak so insolently!” The Western Chu Empress had already lost her patience and stood up, pointing accusatorily with one finger.

“… To speak disrespectfully towards the Empress Dowager and myself! Do you believe I can make it so you cannot leave this Imperial City…”

Before she could finish, a piercingly crisp flute sound was heard, and the Western Chu Empress suddenly screamed in agony, holding her hand.

“…Ah, my hand…”

As everyone looked up, they saw the Empress’s arm dangling lifelessly, as if it had been broken.

Qi Yue let out a cold laugh.

“Sorry, Western Chu Empress, I’ve never liked being pointed at with claws…”

At hearing the words, the Empress Dowager hurriedly lowered her raised hand, her complexion pale.

Upon hearing the phrase ‘propriety, integrity, humility, and shame,’ Qin Lingwei was already finding it difficult to stand.

She finally found an opportunity and, shouting for someone to help, rushed towards the entrance.

But as soon as she took a step, Qingzhu blocked her.

“Princess Xiyang, you must not leave.”

Qin Lingwei had reached the limits of her patience, and now she exploded.

She turned her head, her expression fierce as she looked at Qi Yue.

“Qi Yue, what exactly do you want? Don’t think that with Zhao Xiyan’s backing, you can do as you please. Do you think the two of you can leave this Imperial City?”

“You should be more concerned about the consequences of your own actions!” Qi Yue slowly curled her lip into a smirk, gracefully rising to her feet.

“What I want, Princess Xiyang should know best, shouldn’t she?”

Qin Lingwei’s face paled, and she quickly looked towards Qin Zhongyu.

“King Yan brother…”

Qin Zhongyu was also clear about Qi Yue’s intention now.

But after all, he was Qin Lingwei’s own brother and didn’t want to see her humiliated, so he couldn’t help but step forward.

“Miss Qi, indeed Princess Xiyang was wrong, and I can have her apologize in private…”

“Apologize in private? How could that be acceptable!” Qi Yue exclaimed dramatically, “I haven’t done anything disgraceful.”

With that, she turned to the Western Chu Emperor, her face the picture of sincerity, “Your Majesty, the Western Chu Emperor, with your enlightened wisdom, surely you don’t wish for someone to commit wrongdoing without facing the consequences, do you?”

All who were guessing the purpose of Qi Yue’s visit now fixed their gaze on the Emperor upon hearing her remarks.

Qin Zhongyu’s handsome face fell, looking both ridiculous and terrifying.

The Western Chu Emperor’s expression was also far from pleasant.

Qin Lingwei was his legitimized Princess, beautiful and deeply favored.

He had always turned a blind eye to any of her indecent actions since her childhood.

He was also aware of the rumors surrounding Zhao Xiyan.

Truthfully, he had hoped that Qin Lingwei could become involved with Zhao Xiyan, so after learning the truth from Qin Zhongyu, he had been disappointed for a moment and did not intervene in her spreading those rumors.

He was likewise informed about the incident of Qin Lingwei seizing Qi Yue at the city gate, yet he paid no attention to it.

In his eyes, as a lofty princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, she was justified in such actions.

But he hadn’t anticipated that Qi Yue would travel so far to come here…

And to dare to barge directly into his banquet!

He wanted to call on the Imperial Guards to seize these two, but he didn’t dare.

After all, the flute in Qingzhu’s hands was remarkably sublime, and he did not wish to be killed by its music!

And he must also consider the presence of Zhao Xiyan!

—That was someone who, for the woman standing before him, had invaded half of the Donggao Kingdom’s territory.

If he indeed acted against Qi Yue, it was likely that Zhao Xiyan would come from afar to strike at Western Chu as well.

Yet the face of the Western Chu royal family must be preserved!

With a sudden lift of his head, he saw Qi Yue staring at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, as if hiding a warning. The Western Chu Emperor made his decision in an instant.

——Speak softly and appease her for now!

“Miss Qi Yue, Princess Xiyang indeed made the first move and should rightfully apologize, but as the night is late, I suggest you both stay over. Later, I will consider what should be done….”

“There’s no need for that!” Qi Yue suddenly spoke up. “I have already thought of the compensation I want, as long as Princess Xiyang follows it.”

“May I know what Miss Qi Yue wants Princess Xiyang to do?”

The Western Chu Emperor frowned, a foreboding feeling rising within him.

Qi Yue glanced at Qin Lingwei, who wore a face full of defiance, and slightly curved her lips.

“First, Princess Xiyang must publicly confess her deeds and clear my husband Zhao Xiyan’s name. Second, I want to destroy something of hers as punishment!”

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent for a moment, as if everyone’s breath was seized.

“That’s too much! Qi Yue, you’re truly bullying too far!” Qin Lingwei shouted, her face pale with anger.

Qi Yue snorted coldly.

“You’d better save those words for yourself! Now that everyone is here, hurry up and clarify what you’ve done. If we delay any further, the melodies from my household guard’s flute can be lethal. I wouldn’t mind having everyone listen to a tune.”

Qingzhu very appropriately placed her fingers on the flute, readying to make her move.

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

How could Qin Lingwei easily submit.

Her face full of rage, she held her head high, struggling to maintain the dignified image of a Western Chu Princess.

The officials’ family members in the great hall were both fearful and shocked.

Shocked to witness the most unapproachable Princess of the Western Chu Kingdom being stepped on by Qi Yue, afraid that having seen such a scandal in the royal family, they might be silenced the next day.

All the Western Chu Princes had constipated expressions on their faces.

Clearly, if Qin Lingwei truly apologized, it would undoubtedly diminish the dignity of the Western Chu royal family.

But if she didn’t apologize, Qi Yue was certainly not going to let the people present off the hook.

Who knew whose life would be claimed the moment Qingzhu made her move with the flute?

The Empress Dowager had already been frightened into a stupor, and the Western Chu Empress had fainted from the pain of her broken arm.

In this way, surprisingly not a single person dared to speak up!

Ultimately, it was the Western Chu Emperor who broke the silence.

“Princess Xiyang, since you have done wrong, you should be punished, speak!”

Qin Lingwei cried out with a “wa” and began to cry.

“Father Emperor, I don’t want to, I don’t want to be punished! Father Emperor, quickly call the Imperial Guards, have someone arrest them…”

The Western Chu Emperor sighed softly and closed his eyes.

How he wished he could.

But after much consideration, abandoning this daughter seemed like the smallest price to pay for the Western Chu royal family.

The Princes, seeing this, also began to advise.

“Sister Princess Xiyang, you should just do as Miss Qi Yue says, so as not to inconvenience everyone else with your troubles.”

“Exactly, Sister Princess Xiyang, what exactly have you done? If you talk about it, it’ll be over…”

“…”

Only Qin Zhongyu had a dark expression on his face, glaring at Qi Yue with eyes full of fury, looking as if he wanted to kill someone.

“No, I don’t…” Qin Lingwei let out a pained wail and finally collapsed to the ground.

Suddenly, she lashed out, berating Qin Zhongqi.

“It’s all your fault, you’re the one who made me do it…”

Qin Zhongqi quickly dodged to the back, his face a mix of shame and anger.

“You’re the one who wanted to get involved with Zhao Xiyan, what does it have to do with me? Don’t wrong me…”

With a “clang,” a metallic sound emitted from Qingzhu’s flute, instantaneously causing the candles in the great hall to wobble.

Everyone felt as if their brains had taken a heavy blow, their eyes seeing stars.

“Princess Xiyang, if you continue to waste time, do not blame my heartless flute!”
