Beast World: The Crazy Female Is Chased by Five Beast Husbands - Chapter 41

“If you just humble yourself and beg him, I’m sure the Serpent Emperor will send someone to bring the Second Prince back from the serpent clan, seeing that you’ve yielded to him.”

“Is that true, Nanny Cheng?”

Empress Lin clutched at Nanny Cheng’s sleeve, her mind already in turmoil over Jun Mo’s situation, leaving her without any clear judgment of her own.

Nanny Cheng nodded. “How would this old servant dare deceive you, Your Majesty?”

“Though the Serpent Emperor may appear cold, he treats the princes quite well. If you sincerely plead with him, I believe he won’t stand idly by.”

After all, this was the phoenix clan’s fault.

The prince had been schemed against while in their territory it was only right that the phoenix clan give the serpent clan an explanation.

Not try to cover it up with a political marriage.

If they did that, who would dare send envoys to the phoenix clan in the future?

Empress Lin pondered this and found Nanny Cheng’s words quite reasonable.

In the past, she had been too proud, causing the Serpent Emperor to leave disappointed time and again.

If she lowered her pride this time, surely he wouldn’t hold it against her.

“Come, accompany me to see the Serpent Emperor.”

Once she made up her mind, Empress Lin immediately began dressing up, then, supported by Nanny Cheng, headed to the Serpent Emperor’s chambers.

–

Meanwhile, far away in the phoenix clan, Jun Mo had been confined in Qihua Palace by Li Qinghe under the pretext that he was carrying her child due to the pregnancy pill.

Now he understood.

Li Qinghe had no intention of letting him leave.

The palace was now filled with incense that sapped his magic.

Even if he wanted to step out of Qihua Palace, he had to be accompanied by maids.

He was completely imprisoned.

He never imagined he would one day fall to such a state.

His situation was even worse than that bastard Jun He’s.

How could he endure this?

Before the maids could even serve his meal, he began smashing everything in Qihua Palace.

The sound of shattering objects echoed through the halls like firecrackers.

None of the maids dared to step forward and stop him.

They all stood cautiously to the side.

Naturally, news of Jun Mo’s rampage reached Li Qinghe through her trusted aides.

She sat silently before her dressing table, her thoughts unreadable.

“Princess, should we go see him ourselves?”

Ruyue, standing nearby, asked cautiously.

The Second Prince had been destroying things in Qihua Palace for days now.

If this continued, everything sent from Chaoren Palace would be smashed to pieces.

“Let him cool off a little longer.”

Li Qinghe didn’t believe that seeing Jun Mo now would change anything.

On the contrary, it would only make him angrier.

Better to let him vent first.

Seeing that Li Qinghe had no intention of intervening, Ruyue didn’t dare say more and quietly stood by.

But Jun Mo’s destruction in Qihua Palace wasn’t a one time outburst.

At first, everyone thought he was just venting his frustration.

Yet after a whole week of this, the entire phoenix clan was thrown into chaos.

Even Li Feng summoned Li Qinghe to reprimand her over the matter.

Li Xuanyue wasn’t the least bit surprised when she heard about this from Yin Xin.

On the contrary, she only felt that Li Qinghe had it coming.

She thought that by winning over Jun Mo, she could stand against her.

But she never stopped to consider whether the other party would simply let her have her way.

All of this was nothing more than the consequences of her own actions.

“Princess, what should we do next?”

Yin Xin asked, “As for Lord Jun, for now, we still have Divine Physician Liu, so the situation is relatively stable.”

“But what about you?”

Li Xuanyue lowered her gaze.

“Still no news from Xiao Han?”

She hadn’t forgotten about the matter of the Crane’s Crown it was a matter of life and death for her.

How could she possibly relax?

Yin Xin shook her head.

“Princess, should we perhaps inform Lord Zhong about this?”

After all, Lord Zhong was the princess’s man.

If he learned of her condition, he surely wouldn’t stand idly by.

“No need!”

Li Xuanyue firmly refused once again.

“The matter of the Crane’s Crown should be kept from as many people as possible.”

And among those “many people,” Zhong He was naturally included.

“Father is already helping me find a solution.”

Yin Xin’s eyes instantly lit up.

“Princess, do you mean you’ve already told the Queen Consort about this?”

“Yes.”

Li Xuanyue didn’t conceal anything. “With my own resources alone, finding this thing wouldn’t be easy.”

“So after careful consideration, I informed Father about it yesterday.”

“He said he has a way and told me to simply wait quietly for a few days.”

Still, Li Xuanyue couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

The Crane’s Crown was no ordinary substance.

Even Divine Physician Liu had said that obtaining it required the other party’s voluntary cooperation.

Yet when Li Xuanyue told Hua Shan about it, he had confidently assured her that he had a way.

As for what that method was, Li Xuanyue didn’t ask.

Everyone had their secrets.

If Hua Shan wasn’t willing to tell her, she wouldn’t pry.

“That’s wonderful!”

Upon hearing this news, Yin Xin was genuinely overjoyed for her.

“Princess, then whose palace will you visit tonight?”

Li Xuanyue: “…”

“Can’t I just rest alone for once?”

Did she really have to go to someone’s palace?

Her previous visits to Jun He had been out of necessity if she hadn’t intervened, he would have died from qi deviation.

But now, none of her other four consorts were in such a state. Why should she go to their palaces?

“From now on, don’t urge me to visit anyone’s palace unless absolutely necessary.”

None of them were here willingly.

As the dignified Phoenix Princess, she wouldn’t force or manipulate them like Li Qinghe had.

They were free to leave whenever they wished she wouldn’t stop them.

Yin Xin was left speechless by Li Xuanyue’s words.

The princess hadn’t been like this before.

At night, she would always visit one of her consorts to listen to them play music.

Even if she was too tired to go to their palaces, she would summon them to the Phoenix Harmony Hall.

But ever since the wedding night, the princess had seemed like a completely different person.

Calculated in her actions, bold yet strategic she didn’t even bat an eye at Princess Qinghe’s schemes.

This version of her was so astonishing that even Yin Xin found it hard to believe.

Was this really the same hot-tempered princess she knew?

Li Xuanyue felt uncomfortable under Yin Xin’s intense gaze.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

She reached up to touch her face and asked in confusion, “Could there be something on my face?”

No way?

She had just been strolling around outside moments ago.
