Little Prince came out to help me up. I turned sideways to avoid his hand and said, "Little Prince, I want to discuss something with you. If you keep treating me coldly, I will feel better. If you are nice to me at first and then suddenly change your attitude, I can't stand it. Just like this, just like before." I was not angry. I was just a fake new Wife, how could I be angry? I didn't want to lose my life. But Little Prince didn't think so. He must have thought I was angry. I saw him open his arms and hugged me, which made me almost breathless. Little Prince, the beauty trap is not used like this. "Little Prince, let me go first, okay?" "Let me hold you for a while, don't talk." "Little Prince, let's go back to the house and hug, okay?" "No." He shamelessly acted like a spoiled child, and I felt goose bumps all over my body. I secretly guessed that this guy might have lacked maternal love when he was a child, and I could only comfort myself in this way. It's not that I don't want to think about "maybe he likes me", but I'm afraid that I'm wrong. The most terrible thing is that once you have expectations in your heart, if it ends up being empty, the hurt you will suffer will be great. Why would he like me? I look ordinary, have no temperament, and my figure is also ordinary, and I don't have a lot of wealth. Since money has been mentioned, I thought I couldn't marry Little Prince in vain. So I secretly stole some jewelry and banknotes, and planned to slip away.
It is not that I am ungrateful, but I truly cannot save the brothers of the Nishang Society; now I can only look out for myself.
However, I failed to escape and was cornered in the room by the Little Prince.
Regret filled my heart as I silently blamed myself: why did I have to be so reckless and steal that painting from the wall?
Though the painting was valuable, selling it was nowhere near as convenient as dealing in gold and jewels.
Fortunately, I was quick-witted and tossed my bundle behind the door, then feigned a seductive pose as I sat on the edge of the bed.
The Little Prince saw me and smiled in a way that was overly flattering, his eyebrows raised. "Wife, I'm here. It seems you are ready."
Oh my, he even burned incense, and the scent nearly suffocated me.
Was I really going to lose my virtue here today?
My heart raced as the Little Prince kissed my face repeatedly. It felt like his kisses lasted too long, and oddly enough, I found myself wondering why he wasn't undressing me.
Wait a minute, this thought of mine was not an expectation for him to undress me; it was merely an unconscious notion.
"Your Highness, something bad has happened." At that moment, a guard reported from the doorway, "There’s been an incident in the prison."
The Little Prince cursed under his breath and turned to me. "Wife, stay here obediently. I will return immediately." With that, he hurried away with the guard.
I struggled internally for a moment, but ultimately curiosity and concern took precedence. I cast aside the thought of fleeing amidst the chaos and hurried to follow.
I couldn't shake off the memory of seeing Ling Zhiya near the dungeon during the day. I wondered if the incident in the prison had anything to do with him.
My mind was filled with the beautiful fantasy of " Helmsman Ling, brave and invincible, rescuing numerous brothers from captivity all by himself."
Thus, when the sight of dismembered corpses suddenly came into view, my legs went weak, and I collapsed to the ground, a buzzing roar filling my ears. These rugged and hearty men—over a hundred vibrant lives—had vanished without a trace in an instant...
The Little Prince was ahead, directing the guards to handle the bodies. I heard him order, "Throw them all into the Mass Grave."
For some reason, a chill shot up from my feet to my heart.
Rumors swirled within the palace, claiming that someone had seen Ling Zhiya lurking near the dungeon. It was feared he was eliminating witnesses, wiping out the remnants of the Nishang Society to ensure his own safety and completely sever ties with them.
I could hardly believe that Ling Zhiya could be such a person. In my heart, he embodied justice, a righteous spirit in this world.
He was upright and unyielding against evil forces, dedicating himself to overthrowing oppressive rule and saving the people from disaster.
How could someone like him possibly turn against his brothers?
