"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 68

 The tightly packed black clouds, after a sudden clap of thunder, a few lightnings struck through the air hitting the roof of the side courtyard, there was a loud rumbling sound, the prince's residence also trembled with it.

Xiao Yi Chen who was just working in his study turned to look at the window which was whistling from the force of the wind, he pushed it open, a wind blew in, the candle in the study went out, a lightning struck through the air.

Xiao Yi Chen frowned, that seemed to be in the direction of the side courtyard...

Xiao Yi Chen subconsciously placed his hand on his chest, whether something happened to Ji Ling Xue, it was no concern of his, why was he anxious?

Xiao Yi Chen paced in agitation, suddenly the entire floor shook, his complexion changed, turning he rushed into the downpour.

"Prince!" The guards avoiding the rain under the eaves didn't have the time to ask where Xiao Yi Chen was going, his figure had already disappeared.

The sudden clap of thunder followed one after the other, the bean sized rain drops pitter-pattered on Xiao Yi Chen's body, all he could see was rain, he couldn't see in front of him clearly, based on his memory, he rushed to the side courtyard at his quickest speed.

Xiao Yi Chen raised his hand to wipe his face, his eyes widened in shock, in front of him was a land of ruins, the entire side courtyard had been split in half by the lightning, the rotten wood soaked by rain lingered a scent of smoke.

"Ji...Ji Ling Xue..." Xiao Yi Chen yelled, his voice trembling, he didn't understand, he clearly disliked that woman so much, now seeing these ruins, thinking she was trapped under the rubbles, his heart felt stuffy.

"Ji Ling Xue...you horrible woman, can you hear me, just give me a response, I'll help you out." Xiao Yi Chen's voice was drowned out by the rain, he bent down digging at the rubbles with all his might, as he did so he called out Ji Ling Xue's name, until the housekeeper arrived with all the guards holding shovels to help dig.

The housekeeper held an umbrella above Xiao Yi Chen's head, looking in distress at Xiao Yi Chen's muddy and bloody hands, "Prince...go back to rest first, live this to us!"

If the princess really was trapped under the rubble, there wasn't much hope...the housekeeper didn't dare to say the rest of this, afraid it would shock Xiao Yi Chen, he really didn't expect, the prince usually treated the princess so indifferently, he actually held the princess in his heart.

Xiao Yi Chen nodded at the rescuers dressed in woven rush raincoats and conical bamboo hats, rather beaten he turned and left.

The housekeeper followed Xiao Yi Chen all the way back to the main courtyard holding an umbrella for him, when they walked past the doorway of Yi Lan courtyard, Xiao Yi Chen stopped, looking at the housekeeper in puzzlement.

The housekeeper turned to look and was also shocked, the usually empty Yi Lan courtyard was lit up with lights, who was inside?

A cold sweat appeared on the housekeeper's forehead, "Prince, this old servant doesn't know who could be inside..."

Xiao Yi Chen said with a cold expression, "Let's go, take a look."

The housekeeper waist bent even more, from time to time he sneaked glances at Xiao Yi Chen's expression, he had always looked after Yi Lan courtyard, he didn't expect something to go wrong, he hoped the prince would be lenient.

The two of them walked to the door of the house, the door was pushed open from the inside, Mo Xiang came out carrying a copper basin, on seeing the cold expressions she was scared, especially as Xiao Yi Chen's hand was still dripping with blood, her face turned white, the copper basin fell on the floor, Mo Xiang was so scared she took a few steps back kneeling on the ground.

"What happened..." A muffled voice came from the inner room, it could be heard that Ji Ling Xue had something in her mouth as she spoke.

Anger rushed to Xiao Yi Chen's head, rushing in to the room like a breeze...

"JI Ling Xue..." Xiao Yi Chen was like the wind, with a murderous intent he raised the beaded curtain entering the inner room.
