The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 234 Dongfang Wan'er is being chased

He was quite dissatisfied with Ye Jingchu's visit, which was only to find Dongfang Wan'er. He had thought the Crown Prince had come to discuss the marriage between Mingzhu and him, but it turned out to be completely different.

Ye Jingchu then remembered Mingzhu's matter and said somewhat perfunctorily, "I had forgotten about this. It's alright, I will come to marry Mingzhu in three days."

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Dongfang Mingzhu and her father watching his departing figure with different expressions.

After Ye Jingchu left, the resentment and anxiety in Dongfang Zheng's heart, like a powder keg that had been lit, finally exploded completely at this moment.

He suddenly swung his arm and smashed the teacup on the table to the ground. With a crisp shattering sound, scalding tea splashed all around, as if it were a manifestation of his out-of-control emotions.

"Daddy!"

The Oriental Pearl Tower was terrified by the sudden noise and the enraged look on the other side, its face pale and its voice trembling with obvious fear.

"Oriental Pearl, look at the person you've fallen for! He doesn't care about you at all."

"You are now pregnant, yet he merely casually says he'll marry you in three days. This is far too hasty and perfunctory!"

Dongfang Zheng glared angrily, pointing his finger directly at the Oriental Pearl Tower, his words filled with reproach and heartache.

Oriental Pearl stood there dumbfounded, she had never seen her usually composed father so out of control.

In her memory, Dongfang Zheng was always so refined and gentle, but the angry figure in front of her now felt completely unfamiliar to her.

"Father, what's wrong? Mingzhu is scared..."

Tears welled up in her eyes, her heart filled with doubt and unease.

Jingchu had clearly promised to marry her in three days, so why was Father still so furious?

Looking at his daughter's bewildered and frightened expression, Dongfang felt a surge of disappointment.

Although his identity as "Dongfang Zheng" was a disguise, the girl in front of him was indeed his own flesh and blood.

He sighed heavily. "Forget it, you're hopeless!"

After saying that, he angrily flicked his sleeves, turned around and left without looking back, leaving Dongfang Mingzhu alone in the same spot, watching her father's departing figure, tears welling up in her eyes, her heart filled with confusion and helplessness.

Wan Yao gently advised, "Second Miss, let's go back!"

Her voice was full of caution.

However, she was met with a crisp and sharp slap from the Oriental Pearl Tower.

"Snapped……"

The sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet courtyard. Oriental Pearl's eyebrows furrowed, and she roared angrily!

"What second young lady? I'm the only young lady in the manor right now..."

Wan Yao covered her face, her heart filled with grievance and shock. She could only lower her head and stammer, "Yes, Miss, this servant knows her mistake!"

Oriental Pearl snorted coldly, her voice as sharp as an ice blade. Then, she lifted her gorgeous dress, took light steps, and happily went to prepare for her wedding!

"Sister Wanyao, are you alright?" Chrysanthemum rushed over, her face full of concern.

Wan Yao slowly raised her head, her eyes burning with hatred, and said through gritted teeth, "Chrysanthemum Sister, you're right. Second Miss is a heartless person. She's selfish and only cares about herself."

I've served her for so many years; even if I haven't done anything particularly meritorious, I've certainly put in a lot of hard work!

Chrysanthemum was secretly delighted, but her face still showed the same caring expression. She said softly, "Sister Wanyao, don't think about it so much. Look, your face is all red. You should go down and apply the medicine quickly."

Second Miss—oh no, I should call you Miss now—I'll take care of you!

Wan Yao nodded slightly, a hint of emotion in her eyes: "Yes, Chrysanthemum Sister, in this manor, you are the only one who is truly good to me!"

Chrysanthemum smiled and nodded, a smile that seemed to hold endless meaning.

After Wan Yao left, Ju Hua seemed to have instantly transformed. A sly glint appeared in her eyes as she hurried toward a warm place. As for what she was going to do, only she herself knew.

Meanwhile, on the bustling street, Dongfang Wan'er saw that she was surrounded by guards who held portraits and stopped people to examine them closely.

Dongfang Wan'er thought to herself, "That dog emperor discovered they'd escaped so quickly!"

She darted into the shadows by the street. Her sharp eyes noticed that some of the guards were searching for Ye Jiuchen and his group, while others were looking for her.

Dongfang Wan'er exclaimed in surprise, "I'm wanted too?"

She saw a group of guards approaching her from the direction she was in.

"not good!"

Dongfang Wan'er let out a soft cry and then quickly left.

"Hey, you girl in front, stop!"

The leading guard had excellent eyesight and spotted Dongfang Wan'er immediately. Seeing that she looked very similar to the woman in the portrait, he wanted to call her over to find out more.

To everyone's surprise, when Dongfang Wan'er saw them arriving, she turned and ran away. This unusual behavior convinced the guards that there was something wrong with this woman.

"Chase!"

The guards shouted in unison and chased after him with lightning speed.

Dongfang Wan'er darted left and right through the streets and alleys, only to find herself at the end of the alley with nowhere to go.

"Halt!" The guards caught up as well. "Boss, look!"

A guard hurriedly presented the portrait to the head guard. The head guard carefully examined the portrait, then looked Dongfang Wan'er up and down, before decisively giving the order!

"It's her! Arrest her!"

He was now certain that the woman before him was the one His Highness the Crown Prince had been searching for.

"Yes!"

A group of guards pounced on Dongfang Wan'er like wolves and tigers.

Dongfang Wan'er remained calm and composed. She clapped her hands lightly and sneered, "Since you're courting death, don't blame me!"

With that, she waved her hand and took out the Deadly Powder from the mysterious space, then scattered it rapidly around her.

"Boom, boom!"

"Boom..."

The guards had barely approached Dongfang Wan'er when they inhaled the deadly poison powder and instantly collapsed to the ground, dying on the spot. The air was filled with the stench of death.

Only the head of the guards remained. He stared at Dongfang Wan'er with a look of horror on his face, and thought to himself that something was wrong. This woman was so powerful. His Highness the Crown Prince had never told him this.

He immediately turned to run away.

"Trying to run away? Humph, you were having so much fun chasing me just now!"

With a flick of her slender hand, several silver needles shot out like lightning, piercing straight into the body of the guard leader.

The head of the guards stared wide-eyed, dying with his eyes wide open.

"Hmph, let you chase me then!"

Dongfang Wan'er took out another bottle of medicine and gently sprinkled it on the corpse. In a moment!

All the corpses turned into puddles of water that emitted a pungent odor, and Dongfang Wan'er took advantage of the chaos to...

They vanished silently into the streets and alleys, leaving behind only a chilling silence.
