Chapter 400: Bet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone turned to look at Chu Zhihe in unison.

Chu Zhihe lost her temper and said loudly, “If you can prove that my injury has nothing to do with you, I’ll kneel down and apologize to you in front of everyone. As for Yang Yeqi and the others, they’ll give you 10,00 taels of silver each!”

Since Yang Yeqi and the others had a status much lower than that of Yu Yunxi, kneeling to her did not count as a punishment. As such, Chu Zhihe suggested that they give Yu Yunxi 10,000 taels of silver each.

However, after Chu Zhihe finished speaking, many people’s expressions changed immediately.

Even Consort Mu’s expression was slightly solemn as she said, “Zhihe, stop fooling around…

‘Zhihe is still too impulsive… No matter what, she’s the noble descendant of the

Emperor. How can she kneel down to the daughter of that sl*t, Changning?’

“S-sixth, Sixth Princess… We…’

Yang Yeqi and the other noble ladies were pale. After all, 10,000 taels of silver were equivalent to asking them to empty their family’s treasury. They wanted to curry favor with Chu Zhihe, but they did not want to implicate their families. Moreover, if their fathers knew they made such a bet, they would definitely be punished. For all these reasons, they looked at Chu Zhihe pleadingly, hoping she would take back her words.

When Chu Zhihe saw the pleading expressions on their faces, she only scoffed coldly.

‘Who do these b*tches think they are? How dare they disobey me? They should feel honored that I allowed them to help me deal with Yu Yunxi! Moreover, I’ll definitely succeed this time!’

Chu Zhihe stared at Yu Yunxi venomously as though she wanted to skin Yu Yunxi alive as she asked, “What about you? If you can’t prove your so-called innocence, what will you give me?”

Without waiting for Yu Yunxi’s reply, Chu Zhihe hurriedly said, “If you lose, give me the troops in your hands!”

Chu Zhihe could barely hide her excitement at all at this moment. After all, her father, her mother, and her brother had been displeased with the 100 ,ooo soldiers under Yu Yunxi’s command. If she could successfully seize the troops from Yu Yunxi, it would definitely raise her brother’s chances of seizing the throne.

Upon hearing this, the disapproving expression on Consort Mu’s face vanished immediately. She glanced at Chu Zhihe and saw the confident expression on Chu Zhihe’s face before she thought to herself, ‘Perhaps that b*tch Yu Yunxi really hurt Zhihe… With so many pairs of eyes staring at Yu Yunxi, it won’t be so easy for her to get away. If I can make use of this chance to seize the troops in her hands, I won’t have to listen to the Empress anymore…’ The more Consort Mu thought about it, the more excited she became.

On the contrary, some people were not very happy.

At this moment, Empress Qin quickly stood up and said, “There’s no need to make a big fuss over such a small dispute between cousins. Why don’t we just let the two children apologize to each other and be done with it?”

Empress Qin could no longer remain calm and watch the show at this moment.

‘If the Troopsin Yunxi’s hands is given to that sl*t, the Crown Prince and my plan will be ruined…’

Meanwhile, Consort Hong stood at the side with her head lowered. No one could tell what she was thinking.

Consort Mu raised her chin and said sharply, “Empress, this is not a small matter. Nothing can be accomplished without consequences. Those who make a mistake should be punished. Moreover, the Emperor Emeritus and the Emperor have always placed great importance on kindness. As members of the imperial family, we shouldn’t harm each other. Yunxi’s actions today are really disappointing. If we don’t punish her today, who knows how rebellious she’ll be in the future?”

‘Ha, kindness? Does she think that no one knows what she’s thinking? She’s so brazen in coveting the troops in Yu Yunxi’s hands!’

Empress Qin was slightly anxious. She was determined to stop this.

However, before the Empress could speak again, Yu Yunxi said seriously, “Alright, I agree.”

Everyone looked at Yu Yunxi in shock.

‘Is the Eldest Princess crazy?

“Shut your mouth, Yu Yunxi,” the Empress Dowager said shrilly as she thought to herself, ‘If Consort Mu and her son obtain the troop, then Little Twelfth will really not have a chance!’

Yu Yunxi ignored everyone and turned to Abbot Liao Chen before she asked,

“Abbot, what do you think of this method of handling things?”

“Amitabha. Buddha is merciful. The people of the world have thousands of ways to deal with problems. It’s fine as long as they don’t hurt the innocent,” Abbot Liao Chen calmly said.

‘He… Is he helping me?’

Yu Yunxi looked at Abbot Liao Chen again.

Abbot Liao Chen had a square face, and he looked very kind. By all appearances, he looked like a devout Buddhist.

After a beat, Yu Yunxi nodded at Abbot Liao Chen before she turned and said loudly, “In that case, I’ll make a bet with Sixth Imperial Cousin and the young misses.”

Then, Yu Yunxi looked around and asked, “Is there a doctor here?”

Unexpectedly, Abbot Liao Chen said, “I know a little about medicine. If the Eldest Princess doesn’t mind, I can check the injury.”

Yu Yunxi sighed in relief inwardly when Abbot Liao Chen stepped forward.

Since he was personally checking the injury, no one would object to it. She said, “In that case, I’ll have to trouble the abbot to check Sixth Imperial Cousin’s injury to see if her finger is broken.”

Chu Zhihe also felt that it was a good idea for Abbot Liao Chen to check her injury. After all, Abbot Liao Chen was from the Temple of Eternal Peace, and she did not think Yu Yunxi had the ability to collude with him. f reeweb novel.com

Chu Zhihe raised her hand and said, “Hmph, watch carefully!”

Everyone stared at Chu Zhihe’s finger. To be honest, it was impossible to tell what was wrong with the naked eye. However, based on how confident she was and the number of witnesses, they felt that Yu Yunxi would not be able to get away this time.

‘The Eldest Princess is really muddle-headed. Since she’s done something wrong, she should just admit her mistake…’

‘Why must she quibble and use the troops in her hands to bet?’

‘When the Emperor Emeritus hears about this, he’ll definitely be furious… After all, she treats the troops he gave her so carelessly…’

Consort Mu and Chu Zhihe’s hearts were racing in their chests. They could not conceal the excitement in their eyes at all.

‘Yu Yunxi, this idiot, actually gave us such a big gift!’

Abbot Liao Chen took a piece of cloth from a young monk and approached Chu

Zhihe. He said, “Amitabha.”

Subsequently, Abbot Liao Chen covered Chu Zhihe’s finger with the piece of cloth before he began to examine Chu Zhihe’s finger.

After a while, Chu Zhihe looked at Abbot Liao Chen and asked loudly, “Abbot, are you done examining my finger? It’s broken, right? I already told you. Yu Yunxi broke it. She…”

Abbot Liao Chen interjected, “Benefactor, your finger is fine. It’s not broken.”

‘What?!’

Chu Zhihe froze. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at Abbot Liao Chen. She quickly regained her composure and asked aggressively, “Abbot, are you mistaken? My finger hurts. It must be broken!”

At this point, the Empress Dowager naturally hoped that Chu Zhihe’s finger was fine so that Yu Yunxi’s troops would not fall into Chu Zhihe’s hands.. With a straight face, she said reproachfully, “Sixth Princess, how can you speak to Abbot Liao Chen like that?”
