Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Tonight, let's have a great time with the Princess!
The Princess surely harbored treasonous thoughts against the Prince from the very start!
The guards gripped their torches tightly, their killing intent flaring in an instant.
They were just waiting for the Prince's command to burn this enchantress before their eyes!
But just when everyone thought Feng Yexuan would execute Chu Qianli, he issued an order that caught everyone off guard:
"Drag this maid down and beat her to death!"
"What?" Cuicui was shocked, her face filled with disbelief.
Had the Prince... given the wrong command?
Feng Yexuan didn't even spare her a glance as he coldly snorted, "Seeking glory by betraying one's master, death is not enough to atone for her sins!"
Regardless of whether Chu Qianli was really at fault or not, as her maid, she shouldn't have added insult to injury at every turn.
Every word from this maid seemed like she was pleading on behalf of her mistress.
In reality, each sentence was meant to push Chu Qianli to her death!
If he couldn't discern this, then he would disgrace the name of Beiming Country's War God!
Two guards instantly seized Cuicui.
Chu Qianli was also surprised, but she quickly came to her senses.
She hurriedly said, "Prince, you mustn't!"
"Do you wish to plead for her?" Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy cold.
Mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Foolish!
"No," Chu Qianli was definitely not pretending to be a white lotus; how could she possibly sympathize with an enemy who wanted her dead?
"Prince, she is the most crucial witness in this affair. If she dies, the truth will be much harder to uncover!"
"Oh? You also find yourself in a difficult position? Where did your arrogance go just now?" Feng Yexuan coldly huffed.
Anxiety tightened in Chu Qianli's heart.
So this man was still angry!
Killing Cuicui would cut off her leads!
She said that she would find the real perpetrator within three days; he was deliberately making it harder for her!
"Prince..."
"I will not tolerate sand in my eyes! A wretched maid that seeks glory by betraying her master is not worthy of pity in death!"
With a wave of his hand, Feng Yexuan ordered Cuicui to be dragged away.
Soon screams of agony from the backyard could be heard.
Before long, the cries grew weaker and finally, disappeared without a trace.
Chu Qianli's heart clenched tighter and tighter.
Looking again at the breathtakingly handsome man before her, she belatedly realized a chilling truth.
This man, ruthless and decisive, was indeed as emotionless and cold as the legends had described!
From the crowd, someone hurriedly approached: "Prince, there's been a change with Fourteenth Prince!"
The usually expressionless face of Feng Yexuan showed a rare crack.
He had always cherished his half-brother Feng Jinrui.
"Lock her up. Without my permission, no one is to release her!"
Turning around, Feng Yexuan was ready to leave.
Chu Qianli urgently said, "Prince, you promised me three days..."
Feng Yexuan turned back, his gaze passing emotionlessly over her face: "When did I ever promise you?"
Chu Qianli gritted her teeth, glaring at his retreating figure.
In the moment he turned around, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Bastard!"
However, Feng Yexuan paused mid-step, turning back again with a chilling gaze as sharp as knives sweeping over her.
This woman dared to curse him behind his back!
Chu Qianli was dumbfounded.
She had been so quiet, and yet he had heard her!
How profound could the King's martial arts be?
Feng Yexuan was undoubtedly the most formidable person she had encountered in both her lives!
However, with Feng Jinrui's life hanging in the balance, Feng Yexuan had no intention of dealing with the matters at hand.
With a turn, he strode off into the distance.
…Chu Qianli was locked in a cell, still tied to a wooden post.
He truly never promised; it had been her assumption that his not executing her was tantamount to agreement.
Wishful thinking!
Looking at the frigid cell, Chu Qianli was thinking about how to escape.
Unexpectedly, the door of the cell suddenly banged open as it was pushed.
Two men dressed in black barged in.
"The Prince said since the Princess can't withstand loneliness, tonight, we will keep the Princess company to her heart's content! After we've had our fun, we'll send the Princess on her way!"
After speaking, the two men charged towards Chu Qianli…
