Chapter 24: The Crown Prince is Actually… Impotent (1)

She didn't even care for the position of Crown Princess Consort, so why would she care for a non-existent position as a Side Consort? Su Luo secretly mocked the Crown Prince's self-importance.

With a faint, mocking smile, she glanced sideways at the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, since you treasure this position of Side Consort so much, you should keep it for yourself. You can bestow it upon anyone you like, but I'm afraid I cannot accept such an honor."

"How audacious!" Before the Crown Prince could speak, a Guard by his side let out an angry shout, the tip of his long sword pointing directly at Su Luo's throat. With just one command from the Crown Prince, the sword would pierce through her throat without hesitation.

Su Luo kept her back straight, her gaze cold yet calm as she looked at the Crown Prince. Using reverse psychology, she said, "What? In front of so many people, is our brilliant, divine, and wise Your Highness planning to kidnap me by force? It wouldn't sound very good."

The Crown Prince, driven to anger by his embarrassment, gave a cold snort: "Threaten you? You'd need to be worth it first! Since you're so ungrateful, why should I show you any respect?"

With that, the Crown Prince waved his hand coldly and gave the order.

Soon, a Eunuch stepped forward, holding an imperial edict, and read aloud: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees… The Fourth Young Miss of the Su Residence is lacking in etiquette and poorly raised… She is truly unfit for the position of Crown Princess Consort. Therefore, the engagement from years ago is hereby annulled. From now on, both parties are free to marry as they wish, and shall have no further connection to each other. This is the Emperor's command—"

Once the imperial edict was issued, it could no longer be changed.

At this moment, Su Luo and Su Xi both breathed a rare sigh of relief.

The Crown Prince glared coldly at Su Luo, leaned in close to her ear, and hissed through gritted teeth, "Girl, you'd better never show your face before me again!"

"What?" Su Luo seemed startled and repeated in shock, "Your Highness, the reason you are annulling the engagement is because you're… im… im… impotent?"

As soon as Su Luo said this, the air around them instantly fell silent. Everyone held their breath, lowering their eyes and heads, not daring to steal even a glance at the Crown Prince.

However, the amusement they couldn't hide in their eyes and expressions clearly said it all.

What a sharp-tongued Stinky Girl!!! The Crown Prince's face looked as if it had been whipped; it was terrifyingly dark, like a looming storm.

Su Luo's move was truly an Overt plot. An Overt plot, as the name suggests, is a scheme carried out in broad daylight.

If the Crown Prince punished her now, wouldn't it be an obvious attempt to cover up the truth, showing that he was guilty and lacked confidence?

But if he didn't punish her, he would lose face.

Either way, the Crown Prince had no ground to stand on; no matter how he responded, he wouldn't be able to clear his name.

This was truly like yellow mud falling into one's trousers—even if it wasn't dung, it might as well be.

The Crown Prince's face turned from pale to red. He glared viciously at Su Luo before finally flicking his sleeves and storming away.

Su Jingyu scolded Su Luo displeasurably, "You Stinky Girl, how can you speak like that? How dare you speak to the Crown Prince in such a manner? It's his mercy that he didn't punish you. Go and reflect on your actions!"

After saying that, Su Jingyu exchanged a reassuring look with Su Xi and then hurried after the Crown Prince.

As for what he was reassuring her about, only he knew.

"You… how could you…" Su Zian glared intently at Su Luo, his gaze looking as if he wanted to swallow her whole. "How can you be so shameless!"

Su Luo sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she pouted her lips with a look of great grievance. "But… but Father, the Crown Prince… he really did say that…"

Only the two of them knew what the Crown Prince had whispered in her ear just now. If he wanted to deny it—hehehe—he wouldn't have the chance!
