Chapter 221 Your Highness, I am so afraid!
"Young Master Wei, are you surprised?" Ye Shijun leaned against the door frame, raising his eyebrows and winking, his lips curving into a smug and wicked smile, as if he had caught a clown and wanted to make fun of him.
“You…” Wei Yonghuai’s face turned pale and then red, and under the candlelight, he seemed to be shrouded in a ghostly aura.
"Young Master Wei, putting aside who arranged for you to be here, as a man, your actions are not only despicable and shameless, but also suicidal." Ye Shijun's smile was as wicked as his words were sarcastic. "If my mother hadn't been swayed by your mother's scheming and blindly agreed to your marriage with my little sister, you wouldn't even be qualified to empty my little sister's chamber pot."
"It's also because our mother passed away early and didn't see how incompetent and despicable you became as you grew up. Otherwise, she would have personally canceled the engagement for my younger sister. The reason why our Ye family can tolerate it and why my younger sister can accept it is simply to follow our mother's last wishes."
"Look at you, you're a year older than me, good for nothing, neither academic nor martial arts, no official rank, no savings. Besides coveting my little sister's dowry, your biggest characteristic is always wanting more than you have. Ask yourself honestly, what makes you worthy of my little sister?"
Wei Yonghuai trembled with humiliation, his eyes wide open as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, looking utterly terrifying.
Faced with such humiliation, he dared not utter a single word, for in his previous life, he had been stabbed to death by this man with an arrow through his heart!
After Ye Shijun finished speaking, all the smiles on his face suddenly disappeared, and he walked towards him.
"What...what are you going to do?" Wei Yonghuai retreated in fear, pointing a trembling finger at him. "Don't come any closer...I haven't done anything wrong in this life...If you dare to kill me, you'll become a murderer!"
"Huh?" Ye Shijun stopped in his tracks, looking at the fear on Wei Yonghuai's face, as if he were a man-eating demon. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his face. His wife had praised him for being handsome and charming this morning. Why was Wei Yonghuai afraid of him?
and also……
What do you mean 'I haven't done anything in this life'?
What kind of nonsense is this?
He even said he was going to kill someone?
He has no swords or knives now, so how can he kill people?
That despicable and shameless bastard, has he gone mad?
"Wei Yonghuai, I'm warning you, my little sister is now the Crown Princess. If you dare to make a move on her again, I will make you wish you were dead!" Although he was currently unarmed, he genuinely wanted to give Wei Yonghuai a stern warning!
"Don't come any closer..." Wei Yonghuai retreated to the wall with nowhere left to go, and could only squat on the ground, covering his head, closing his eyes tightly, and trembling as he shouted, "I didn't do anything... You can't kill me... You can't kill me..."
Looking at his current state, Ye Shijun snorted disdainfully.
This spineless coward is so easily scared, you wouldn't even want to get your hands dirty if you hit him!
Besides, this spineless coward is mentally unstable. Fighting a madman would only tarnish the reputation of the second son of the Ye family!
……
East Palace.
Looking at the deserted palace, Du Anwen felt uneasy.
This huge Eastern Palace is unguarded; something seems amiss.
However, the thought of already being there made her reluctant to give up. The palace maid had clearly told her that the Crown Prince had been injured and returned to the Eastern Palace. And now, Ye Shishu was at a palace banquet—this was her best chance to get close to the Crown Prince!
Having made up her mind, she no longer hesitated and headed straight for the bedchamber.
When Zhu Huaning was the Crown Princess, she had invited noble ladies from the capital to visit the Eastern Palace. Those memories now provided her with convenience and saved her a lot of trouble.
They arrived at the sleeping quarters.
Seeing the door wide open and the room brightly lit, she was overjoyed; the Crown Prince had truly returned!
She excitedly ran into the hall.
really.
The man she had been longing for was sitting on the couch in the palace!
"His Royal Highness..."
"Who sent you?" Seeing her barge in, Yu Chi Ling shot her a cold glare.
"Your Highness, this humble woman pays her respects!" Du Anwen quickly knelt and bowed, then replied softly, "Having heard that Your Highness was attacked and injured, I happened to be passing by the Eastern Palace, so I came to check on you. Your Highness, are you alright?"
"It's alright." Yu Chi Ling's tone softened. "Thank you for your concern, Miss Du."
Seeing that he didn't intend to send her away, Du Anwen was overjoyed. Her expression and tone became even more gentle and sweet. "Your Highness, you didn't go to the banquet hall. Were you injured? Please tell me what you need me to do."
Yu Chi Ling raised her eyes to the table not far away. "I am thirsty. Pour me a cup of tea."
"Yes!" Du Anwen's legs trembled with excitement. She had gone all out tonight, but she never expected the opportunity to come so easily!
She quickly walked to the table, turned her back to the bed, and then secretly glanced at it.
Seeing that the man had his eyes lowered, as if he was deep in thought about something and not paying any attention to her, she secretly smiled, took out a packet of powder from her belt, and poured it into the teapot.
"Your Highness, please have some tea." She respectfully presented the teacup to Yuchi Ling.
Yu Chi Ling took the teacup, took two sips, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips. "Hmm, this tea tastes quite good today." He paused, then gestured with his chin toward Du Anwen. "Miss Du, please pour yourself a cup of tea. Tonight, all the palace servants have accompanied the Crown Princess to the banquet hall, so there's no one to serve you for the time being. I'll trouble Miss Du to do it herself."
Upon hearing this, Du Anwen was completely relieved.
So, there was no one left in the East Palace; they were all arranged to go to the Banquet Hall!
"Miss Du, what are you standing there for? I invite you to drink with me. Are you not willing to do me the honor?" Seeing that she did not move, Yu Chi Ling immediately darkened his face.
"No, no..." Du Anwen quickly went to the table and poured herself another glass.
She held her teacup, gazing shyly at Yu Chi Ling.
The prince has already drunk the tea; he might lose control and do something to her in a moment...
Since the Crown Prince wanted her to drink with him, she had no reason to hesitate. Why be crazy alone when she could be crazy with the Crown Prince…
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness." Just thinking about what was about to happen made her heart race and her cheeks flush.
She had met the Crown Prince once many years ago and was captivated by his handsome appearance. However, when she later heard that he had been disfigured and his legs were crippled, she had to extinguish her infatuation.
However, fate was kind to her.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince has regained his appearance. Compared to the dashing young man, he is now not only mature and steady, but also exudes a charming masculine aura. His exquisitely sculpted face is even more captivating.
Especially his tall and muscular physique...
I wonder how crazy it will drive her in a little while...
Just as she drank the tea, the candlestick suddenly went out.
"Ah!" She was slightly startled, then cried out in a soft voice, "Your Highness, I'm so scared!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a tall figure approached her and pulled her into his arms.
Smelling the masculine scent emanating from him, especially the sound of his breath brushing against her ear, she was already completely captivated by his strong physique before she could even begin to display her own charm.
"Your Highness..."
