The Whole World Knows That the Crown Prince Loves Her

Chapter 352: Is Emperor Qin Just a Decoration?

Jing Chen looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, “Feng Jiu Yuan, did you drink too much at dinner? Are you drunk?”

Feng Jiu Yuan chuckled lightly, “Do I look like I’m drunk?”

“Then why are you talking nonsense?” Jing Chen looked up at him, frowning. “Or do you think I’m stupid?”

The relationship between Emperor Qin and Huang Quan was obvious; anyone with eyes could see that they were mutually fond of each other. Jing Chen had never considered Huang Quan as a potential romantic interest due to his own physical condition, and even if he did, Huang Quan wouldn’t be the one.

Was Emperor Qin just a decoration?

“How can you say that?” Feng Jiu Yuan asked, surprised. “I didn’t mean that at all.”

“I’m asking because you seem very concerned about Huang Quan. How did it turn into a question of whether you think I’m stupid?”

Jing Chen said, “I’m her friend, so it’s normal for me to care about her.”

“You’re also very concerned about Huang Quan.”

Feng Jiu Yuan nodded, “Indeed, I am concerned about her because I find her very appealing.”

“You…”

“Shut up!”

Jing Chen kicked him and then ran ahead, “You think I’m stupid!”

Feng Jiu Yuan: “???”

Did he actually say that someone was stupid?

Why did Jing Chen think he considered him foolish?

Seeing Jing Chen walk away, Feng Jiu Yuan, still full of questions, followed him.

The next day.

At the Sacred Spirit Academy.

Chu Liang stared in shock at South Palace Yan, who was walking in with Huang Quan. He was completely stunned.

This person…

He looked exactly like the person he saw three years ago!

No, what was going on?

They had just talked about this person a few days ago, and now Huang Quan had brought someone who looked exactly like him?

After regaining his composure, Chu Liang asked his question.

Huang Quan explained, “The person you saw before was my eldest brother; this is my second brother.”

“Second brother?”

“Yes,” Huang Quan nodded. “He’s the other one of the twins.”

**Chapter 352: Is Emperor Qin Just a Decoration?**

“Understood,” Chu Liang said. “No wonder they look the same.”

“Just…”

Chu Liang looked at Huang Quan, initially wanting to ask about the sudden appearance of the second brother. However, considering that South Palace Qing Le was present, he decided against it.

Huang Quan didn’t mind and explained, “It was a coincidence that we found my second brother.”

Coincidence?

Feng Jiu Yuan, leaning on his hand and feeling frustrated, thought that wasn’t just a coincidence—it seemed premeditated.

Hearing this response, Chu Liang nodded, acknowledging that he understood.

“Quan Quan, I’m going to talk to South Palace Qing Le about something,” South Palace Yan said.

Huang Quan nodded, “Second brother, go ahead.”

Before leaving, South Palace Yan recalled the assassination attempt on Huang Quan by South Palace Qing Le and asked, “Quan Quan, are you really willing to let her go? Are you sure you won’t regret it?”

“Second brother, once I’ve made a promise, I won’t go back on it,” Huang Quan said. “You can go.”

South Palace Yan nodded, said nothing more, and headed towards where South Palace Qing Le was.

Upon reaching South Palace Qing Le, South Palace Yan spoke a few words to her.

Huang Quan saw a look of confusion appear on South Palace Qing Le’s face. Soon after, South Palace Qing Le stood up and followed South Palace Yan away.

Feng Jiu Yuan, sitting behind Huang Quan, noticed this and tapped her shoulder, asking, “You’re really letting her go?”

“This isn’t like your usual style.”

Huang Quan was known for her vendettas; this was evident from when she retaliated against South Palace Mian in the competition by using the same methods.

Even though South Palace Qing Le’s assassination attempt had failed, she had indeed made a move. Given that everything was now clear, Huang Quan could have killed her, but she chose not to

 

Chapter 353: The Person with a Secret

Why agree to let her go?

“It’s my second brother’s wish,” Huang Quan said, looking at the entrance of the Sacred Spirit Academy.

If it were in the past, she would never have let someone who tried to harm her go unpunished. But since her second brother had spoken…

“Why would your second brother want you to let South Palace Qing Le go?” Feng Jiu Yuan didn’t understand this.

If he were in South Palace Yan’s place, he wouldn’t just let her go; he’d deal with her himself.

“My second brother has his own reasons for doing this,” Huang Quan replied, turning to him. “I don’t delve into his reasons.”

“But…”

“Feng Jiu Yuan,” Huang Quan suddenly called out.

“Hmm?” Feng Jiu Yuan stopped and raised an eyebrow, looking at her. “What’s up?”

“Did you have a fight with Jing Chen?”

Feng Jiu Yuan felt like crying when he heard this. “How could I? It was he who argued with me unilaterally.”

Although Jing Chen was only slightly younger than him, his childlike appearance always made Feng Jiu Yuan seem like the one in the wrong, even though he was the one who felt wronged.

He didn’t even understand why Jing Chen was angry, but he had gone to apologize after their argument yesterday. He thought everything was fine since Jing Chen had responded with a nonchalant “Hmm,” but today he found that Jing Chen was still upset.

“Try to make up,” Huang Quan said, then turned away.

Hearing Huang Quan’s advice, Feng Jiu Yuan’s expression darkened.

Making up wasn’t going to cut it; a good thrashing might be more effective.

Outside the Sacred Spirit Academy.

South Palace Yan looked at South Palace Qing Le and said coldly, “The person I spoke with wants you to know that you are free now. You can return to the Spirit Clan, and he will no longer threaten you or make demands of you.”

“Of course, he won’t reveal your secret either.”

South Palace Qing Le, taken aback, asked, “How do you know all this?”

“You’re Huang Quan’s second brother, aren’t you?” South Palace Qing Le asked. “What’s your relationship with that person?”

“Or are you and Huang Quan teaming up to get back at me?”

“You’re overthinking it,” South Palace Yan replied, looking at her with indifference. “We don’t have that kind of time. We did seek you out before, but it was for a specific purpose.”

“We used the secret to force you out of the Spirit Clan, so your attempt on Huang Quan’s life will be overlooked this time. I won’t pursue it, but only this once. If you make another move against Huang Quan in the future, I won’t let you off.”

“Your departure was not known in the Spirit Clan. You can return directly without being discovered.”

“What exactly is going on?” South Palace Qing Le asked.

“If you really want to know,” South Palace Yan replied, “some things are better left unknown.”

South Palace Qing Le was taken aback, staring at him. “What do you mean by that?”

“Literally what it says,” South Palace Yan said, his expression indifferent.

South Palace Qing Le looked at him for a long time before finally agreeing. “Fine, I won’t ask any more.”

South Palace Yan nodded and turned to leave.

“But I won’t return to the Spirit Clan,” South Palace Qing Le added.

South Palace Yan looked back at her. “You have Spirit Clan blood in you. Returning to the Spirit Clan for cultivation would be better than staying outside. Besides, that’s where you grew up.”

“Which is why I’ve always been on edge,” South Palace Qing Le said. “Even though my mother told me that no one would discover that secret, I still can’t rest easy.”

“Someone with a secret can never truly feel at ease.”
