Empress Running Away With The Ball

ch.309,310,311 and 312

Chapter 309: He is not that heartless

Chu Shao Yang felt shame and embarrassment.

Every time he rode the jade flower horse back into the hunting ground, he would come in high spirited with a lot of prey, winning the praise of everyone. However, he had been treated as a boar on the back of a horse.

All his face had been lost!

He lowered his head, wishing he could bury himself into the ground.

Chen Ning! Father hates you!

"Ning'er, why are you returning so late? What happened to that stinky brat Chu Shao Yang? Ah, Shao Yang, what happened to him?"

The eldest princess' white horse separated the crowd and she walked out.

Although she was very angry towards Chu Shao Yang, he was still her blood related nephew. Seeing Chu Shao Yang not moving on the back of the horse, her heart instantly filled with worry.

"Well, he was bitten by a snake in the forest and was poisoned. Although I found some mushrooms for him to eat that temporarily suppress the poison, he still cannot move. Eldest princess, you should quickly find a doctor for him." Chen Ning said with a calm face.

She did not tell a single lie, but when Chu Shao Yang heard this, he went wild with rage.

If it wasn't to save an ugly monster like you, I wouldn't have been bitten by the snake!

Chu Shao Yang was carried into a tent and the doctor inside quickly took his pulse before taking out a poison dispelling medicine.

He fell fast asleep after taking the medicine.

"Doctor, he should be fine now, right?" The eldest princess stood beside the bed, looking at him with a worried look.

"Reporting to the eldest princess, his highness' body is strong. Although the poison was strong, the princess has already fed his highness with something that has detoxifying qualities, dispelling most of the poison already. This official give him this medicine and after his highness wakes up, the poison in his system should all be gone. For the sake of this body, this official recommends that he rests in bed for two days."

The doctor replied in a respectful manner, not bragging about his own medical skills at all.

"Alright, it's been hard on you. Go and have some rest." The eldest princess finally fell back down as she sent the doctor away.

When she heard that Chu Shao Yang was fine, she was angry with him once again. She glared at Chu Shao Yang sleeping on the bed before turning around to hold Chen Ning's hand.

"Ning'er, it's lucky that you saved this stinky brat's life, otherwise he would have gone to King Yama already. When he wakes up, I will teach him a fierce lesson. If he doesn't treat you properly, then this princess will tell my royal brother and make him give up his concubine. Then we'll punish him by never being able to marry again, making him recognize you as his only wife!"

Chen Ning was shocked and even her hands were shaking.


The eldest princess' good intentions, she could not take them. She did not want to be stuck forever by Chu Shao Yang's side.

"What, you're not willing?" The eldest princess revealed a look of confusion.

"Un, I'm not willing." Chen Ning gave a gentle cough and directly said.

"Why? Do you not want him to be fully dedicated to you? As long as he divorces that concubine, then you'll be his legal princess. Adding in the fact that you saved him, he will definitely be good to you. This stinky brat isn't someone without any conscience, he....."

Chen Ning's face quickly turned serious and she shook her head, "The eldest princess does not know this, but he is in love with his concubine consort, treating her like the apple of his eyes. If the emperor truly makes him divorce her, he will be filled with hate towards me, so how would he treat me better? Moreover, I don't even like him."

Chapter 310: Slighting the royal face

"You don't like him? But the past you....." The eldest princess hesitated.

"My eyes were bad in the past, that's why I liked him. Since he already has a woman he loves now and has given up on me, I, Chen Ning am a person with character. If he doesn't want me, then I don't want him. If the eldest princess really wants to help Ning'er, then I have something to ask the eldest princess for." Chen Ning stared at the eldest princess.

"Good! Good words. Ning'er, my eyes were not wrong. Why should women like us have to bow down to those men!" The eldest princess raised her brows and patted Chen Ning's shoulder. In a straightforward manner, she said, "Just say whatever you want to say. As long as this princess can help you, then this princess will help you fulfill your wish!"

Chen Ning's big words were suited to her taste and she couldn't help deeming Chen Ning as a friend.

Ye Ting Xuan was silently standing on the side. Seeing the light in the eldest princess' eyes, he gave a slight nod.

He had already guessed what Chen Ning wanted, only.....his eyes fell onto the face of Chu Shao Yang on the bed and his handsome brows slightly knit together.

This King Ding Yuan, he was not that cold and cruel. Was there another reason?

"Ning'er wants to ask the eldest princess for this favour. I want to separate with Chu Shao Yang, so I wish to ask the eldest princess to give Ning'er a chance to enter the palace and see the emperor. Chen Ning wants to ask the emperor to give an order, letting me divorce my husband!"

Chen Ning's eyes were firmed, saying all this without any hesitation.

"What did you say? You want to separate? And you want to divorce your husband?" The eldest princess was shocked as she looked at Chen Ning with a look of disbelief.

When she saw Chen Ning's resolute expression, she knew that she wasn't joking and that she was serious!

"But Ning'er, this is an impossible matter. If you want to separate, then the emperor might agree, but divorcing your husband? There has been no precedence in our West Chu Country. Although he isn't good to you, if you want to divorce your husband, it won't be possible. You divorcing him will mean slandering the royal face, so my royal brother will definitely not agree to it." She said with a sigh.

She said this in an honest manner. If anyone else mentioned this to her, she would have already flew into a rage.

However, she really liked Chen Ning, so that's why she told her the honest truth.

Chen Ning's heart filled with gratitude and she said with a nod, "Many thanks to the eldest princess for reminding Ning'er. Since it's like this, then just separating is fine. Eldest princess, can you bring into the court to see the emperor?" Her eyes shined with an expectant look.

She knew that Chu Shao Yang would never bring her into the palace, so she could only ask the eldest princess about this matter.


She was confident that she would be able to make the emperor accept her request.

Although she had never met the emperor before, she had heard many things about him.

For example, the marriage between her and Chu Shao Yang was ordered by the emperor.

The reason was because the previous owner loved Chu Shao Yang and would marry no one else. Grand General Chen loved his daughter, so he personally met the emperor to ask for this marriage order.

This meant that the emperor valued her father, that's why he gave her this wish.

If the emperor allowed this marriage for Grand General Chen, then on her father's reputation, he would allow her to separate.

The eldest princess pondered for a bit, "This matter cannot be taken lightly. Ning'er, have you pondered it carefully? The most important thing to women is their reputation. Once you separate, you'll become a divorced woman. In the future, I'm afraid.....it'll be hard for you to marry others. Actually, that brat Chu Shao Yang is not a crazy person. If he can change his heart, then I hope that you can start anew with him."
