Chapter 1369: Liu Yuchen Regrets II

If it were not for that, he would not have dismissed her.

“So…” He paused. “Saying anything more would be futile. I’ve already lost the right to stand by her side.”

Lady Liu suddenly reached up and held onto Liu Yuchen’s arms. Her eyes sparkled. “No, perhaps there’s still a chance! Back then, you didn’t spend a night with the princess and that’s why the state preceptor is willing to marry her. What if… both of you spent a night together? Yuchen…”

Liu Yuchen was stunned. He had never imagined that his mother could still say something like this at such a time.

His hands supporting her arms gradually loosened as a cold smile appeared on his handsome face.

“You think that our Liu family isn’t miserable enough and you want to make it worse, don’t you? The emperor and empress love the princess so dearly. If anyone were to do something like that to the princess, what do you think… will happen to the Liu family?”

Moreover, it was not easy to get close to someone like Feng Ruqing.

To even think of forming an alliance with her through marriage?

How ridiculous!

Dream on!

“No, we still have a chance. Yuchen, chast.i.ty is most important to a woman. If she has lost her chast.i.ty, she would definitely be with her first man. If you can become her man, perhaps… there is still hope for our Liu family. I guarantee that I will treat the princess better in the future and not scorn her as I did in the past.”

Liu Yuchen kept quiet. He stared at Lady Liu like he was looking at a stranger.

Lady Liu did not notice his expression and grabbed on tight to his sleeve. “Yuchen, only you can help the Liu family now. Look at how your father is treating me. If we can gain the princess’s favor again, your father wouldn’t dare to bully me anymore!”

Shove!

Liu Yuchen raised his arm and gave it a hard swing, flinging away Lady Liu’s hands.

He laughed coldly. “You have to know that I’m no match for the princess. You’ll just be pus.h.i.+ng the Liu family toward a place of no redemption!”

“No, it won’t happen that way.” Lady Liu’s eyes were bloodshot. As if she was lost in a trance, she continued, “You’re my most beloved son, how could I ever harm you? I’m doing all this for your own good. Why don’t I ask for an audience with the princess? Ask her to meet you. If you two can meet, that means there’s still a chance. The princess wouldn’t really lose her affections so easily.”

At that moment, Liu Yuchen felt like he was talking to a wall. He let out a sarcastic laugh and turned to walk toward the entrance, ignoring Lady Liu.

Lady Liu quickly rushed over, wanting to chase after Liu Yuchen,

However, the moment both of them left the Liu family’s gates, great news was being spread around on the streets.

“What wonderful news, the prince of our Liu Yun Kingdom has been found! Empress Nalan loves her country and her people dearly, so I knew that a good person would definitely be rewarded. She must have played a part in the prince’s safe return!”

“Not just that, I have even heard… that the princess has married the state preceptor while they were out on this expedition.”

“Married? Is this true? Why is there no news of this in Liu Yun Kingdom?”

“Of course it’s true! Because great news about the princess being pregnant has spread from the palace… If they weren’t married, how could the princess be pregnant? Our Liu Yun Kingdom really just gets one good news after another.”

On the streets, Liu Yuchen stopped in his tracks.

The breeze of a summer’s day was warm, but for some reason, he felt cold all over. So cold that he could not help but wrap his arms around himself.

‘She’s… married? And even pregnant?’

Perhaps Liu Yuchen had never imagined that there would be a day he would feel so much regret. Those feelings were like needles viciously stabbed into his heart, making his chest ache so painfully.
