Capítulo 62: The bitter reality

It's understandable for those involved in the assassination attempt of the Gao father and daughter to have a sleepless night.

Some were unable to rest peacefully that night because of a game. A game involving a small brown sparrow and a prince.

The second prince, Chen Yun Ming was supposed to be enjoying the warmth of one of his concubines but had not been able to do so for the past few days. The headache he felt every time one of his properties was burned was just unbearable.

He could only stare at the property being burned. It did not matter regardless of how many guards were around, they had no need to guess what the next target would be.

The culprit had the audacity to announce it beforehand. Remembering the last time, 'I will give you an advantage Your Highness! Royalties should be given advantages, right? Hehe.' The child's eerie tone was mocking him!

Clenching his fists, "Outrageous! Brazen! Ingrate!" he gritted his teeth with anger and helplessness. He could only vent his anger on the wooden table after hitting it with his palm after every outburst. How many times had the servants replaced the table?

He even got some of the Royal Guards with high cultivation to observe, but they also failed to catch the brazen child!

Concubine Li Huan silently watched the second prince, clenching her fists as well, trying to suppress her emotions by gritting her teeth.

Her father was asking for the second prince's help. Seeing how he was right now, she could only shut her mouth. He could not even fix his own problems, so how could he care about others now?

That night, the Ye family experienced disaster after the second prince clothing shop was burned. Both incidents, the perpetrators unknown.

For the Ye family, it seemed the intention was robbery as most of their treasures were taken. 'Who had the courage to do this to their family?'

The clothing shop owned by the second prince was only severely damaged. It was not burned to the ground, but it was enough for it to not open for some time.

She knew that the second prince could not yet decide if he should have it repaired. What if it was burned again?

The second prince did not have a main wife but had more than seven concubines. Concubine Li Huan prevented Gao Lan Mei from being added to the list. She did not want to have a spoiled miss as a part of the royal household.

Li Huan was noble by birth, making her the highest-ranking concubine in the household, who currently acted as the wife as well.

'Why would the father support this weak prince?' If she could turn back time, she would do all that she could to not marry Prince Chen Yun Ming.

She did not have any other choice. Prince Wei Jiayi would not even look her way. Thinking this, Li Huan bowed her head, eye burning, as if tears might fall at any time.

Yes, the others called him a bastard prince. Who cares? The first time she saw his handsome face, she'd already decided that he was the love of her life.

No one could compare to his appearance. The way he walked that carried the air of authority that even the emperor did not have made anyone feel that he's unapproachable.

He looked at other beings like they were beneath his feet. Everyone else in his eyes aside from the emperor was like pebbles he could crash at any time.

The bitter reality was, she was not worth his attention regardless of how she'd tried before, made her angry.
