The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 193 Ye Jingchu wanted to use force

Ye Jingchu stopped laughing, but a smile remained on his face: "Wan'er, since you can't go anywhere now anyway, I might as well tell you directly, Ye Jiuchen, my good royal uncle, he has been poisoned and will not live much longer. The reason Father has tolerated him is simply because he holds a large army."

Dongfang Wan'er looked at Ye Jingchu as if he were a fool!

Ye Jiuchen had already cured himself of the poison. The Emperor and Ye Jingchu thought Ye Jiuchen was seriously poisoned, so everything makes sense!

Emperor Ye Erxiao must have been waiting for Ye Jiuchen's poison to take effect, which is why he allowed Ye Jiuchen to be so domineering and humiliating! Yet he still managed to hold back!

"Ah…"

Dongfang Wan'er did not answer Ye Jingchu, but only chuckled softly!

She knew what Ye Jingchu meant, but so what?

As for Dongfang Wan'er, she didn't need to make any choice at all. Ye Jiuchen had already been cured of the poison, and the Emperor would no longer tolerate Ye Jingchu. Ye Jingchu's attempt to steal a chicken had backfired spectacularly; he lost both his wife and his army.

Dongfang Wan'er sneered inwardly, thinking that someone like Ye Jingchu was destined to be incapable of achieving great things.

Although he is intelligent, he is too selfish and only thinks about his own interests, disregarding the feelings of others. Such a person will ultimately only end up being abandoned by everyone.

While Ye Jiuchen may be domineering, he is courageous, resourceful, and, most importantly, grateful. Such a person is worthy of trust and following.

"So, Wan'er, don't have any expectations. Ye Jiuchen won't find you. Your Ye Jiuchen won't come to save you! Hahahahahaha!"

Ye Jingchu laughed wildly, his voice echoing throughout the space, as if trying to shatter Dongfang Wan'er's heart completely.

Dongfang Wan'er was not affected by her words. She looked at Ye Jingchu quietly, her eyes shining with determination and confidence.

When Ye Jing first saw her so calm, a hint of doubt arose in his heart, but he quickly dismissed it with his own thoughts.

He sneered, "You think you understand the situation? Ye Jiuchen is currently poisoned and cannot move at all, let alone find this place."

Dongfang Wan'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and she said, "Ye Jiuchen's poison has already been cured, and your plan is nothing but a failure."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingchu's expression changed drastically. He looked at Dongfang Wan'er in disbelief, "This is impossible! He has been poisoned by the most rare and incurable poison in the world!"

Dongfang Wan'er coldly replied, "That's just what you think. I have a unique antidote, which I gave to Ye Jiuchen several days ago."

Ye Jingchu's eyes widened in shock. She never imagined that Dongfang Wan'er would have such an antidote.

She asked, unwilling to give up, "Where did you get the antidote?"

Dongfang Wan'er did not answer her question, but instead asked in return, "What do you think?"

Ye Jingchu immediately understood that Dongfang Wan'er must have found the mysterious poison maker and obtained the antidote from him.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingchu couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. She had originally thought her plan was foolproof, but she never expected it to fail in the end.

Ye Jingchu's eyes darkened. He hadn't expected Dongfang Wan'er to be so capable. He had thought he could use this opportunity to get rid of Ye Jiuchen, but instead, she had outmaneuvered him.

"You're really hiding your true strength, Wan'er," Ye Jingchu said through gritted teeth, her eyes flashing with anger and resentment.

He never expected that his carefully planned scheme would be seen through and ruined by Dongfang Wan'er, and his heart was filled with resentment towards her.

However, unwilling to admit defeat, he continued to threaten, "But it's alright, it's just a small mistake. I'll always find a way to deal with you."

Looking at Ye Jingchu's ugly face, Dongfang Wan'er felt a surge of disgust. She coldly replied, "Ye Jingchu, don't be so arrogant. Do you think we'll let you manipulate us?"

"So, release me right now, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise... once Ye Jiuchen finds this place, I don't know if you'll even be alive to become the crown prince!"

Dongfang Wan'er tried to scare Ye Jingchu with Ye Jiuchen, but Ye Jingchu remained unmoved.

"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of him?" Ye Jingchu remained defiant. He believed he had enough strength and status to stand up to anyone.

Dongfang Wan'er shook her head, sighing inwardly. She didn't actually want to reveal her medical skills, as it might cause more trouble.

But under these circumstances, she had no choice but to step in and save Ye Jiuchen to protect his safety.

"Wan'er, you don't need to delay any longer. So what if Ninth Prince's poison has been cured? Tonight, I will make you my woman!" Ye Jingchu said as he began to take off his clothes, a ferocious smile on his face.

Dongfang Wan'er was startled. Could Ye Jingchu really be serious? She realized the gravity of the situation; if she didn't act quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So she clenched her fists tightly, ready to deal with any potential danger at any time.

"Ye Jingchu, let me tell you, I will hate you for doing this," Dongfang Wan'er said firmly, her eyes revealing an indomitable will.

She would never easily succumb to Ye Jingchu's threats and violence, but would resolutely defend her dignity and freedom.

"Are you afraid of my hatred? Haha, that's exactly the feeling I want! Once you're mine, what do I have to fear from your hatred! Hahahahahahaha!"

Ye Jingchu grinned menacingly as he approached Dongfang Wan'er step by step.

Dongfang Wan'er felt completely powerless, limp and unable to muster any strength, and was unable to break free from the restraints.

"Wan'er, stop struggling, it's useless. You've been poisoned with the bone-softening powder, even if you have great abilities, it's no use now! Just obediently submit to me!" Ye Jingchu said smugly.

Dongfang Wan'er's eyes widened, her heart filled with despair and rage. She absolutely could not let Ye Jingchu, that devil, succeed. She quickly looked around, trying to find a way to escape.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on the candlestick on the table. The candlestick flickered with a faint light, as if it brought her a glimmer of hope.

She moved her body carefully, trying not to attract Ye Jingchu's attention, and slowly approached the candlestick.

When she finally got the candlestick, she raised it without hesitation and smashed it down on Ye Jingchu with all her might.

Caught off guard, Ye Jingchu was hit hard on the head by the candlestick, and cried out in pain, releasing his grip on Dongfang Wan'er's hand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dongfang Wan'er broke free from her restraints and dashed towards the door like an arrow. She had only one thought in her mind: she had to escape this place as soon as possible to find Ye Jiuchen.

But no matter how hard she tried, she could never find the door to freedom. It was as if an invisible force had trapped her in this cage.

"Hiss, Wan'er is so cruel, she actually hit me so hard!" Ye Jingchu touched the wound on his head and looked at the blood on his hands, a painful expression on his face.

A resolute glint flashed in Dongfang Wan'er's eyes. Clutching the candlestick tightly in her hand, she shouted at her own neck, "Ye Jingchu, I'm telling you, even at the cost of my life, I will never let your scheme succeed!"

"No, Wan'er, don't be impulsive!" Ye Jingchu suddenly became tense, his eyes revealing concern and worry. For some reason, deep down he just didn't want to see Dongfang Wan'er get hurt.

"Don't come near me!" Dongfang Wan'er realized Ye Jingchu's intention and suddenly stabbed the candlestick in her hand into her own neck, and bright red blood flowed out instantly.

"Wan'er, alright, alright, please don't hurt yourself anymore. I won't come over. Quickly put down the candlestick, don't hurt yourself!"

As Ye Jingchu spoke, he took a few steps back in a panic. His eyes were filled with worry and fear, afraid that Dongfang Wan'er would do something even more drastic.

Dongfang Wan'er gripped the candlestick tightly. In the candlelight, her eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility, like a wounded wild beast ready to attack at any moment.

Her face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled slightly, and her body swayed precariously. But she stood there firmly, without flinching.

Seeing this, Ye Jing knew he couldn't force the issue, so he sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, Wan'er, since you're so resolute, I won't force you anymore. I'll leave here first and have someone come and treat your wounds."
