The white handkerchief straightened like a stiff knife and sliced through his throat.

Lord Chen’s eyes widened immediately.

Blood dripped onto his hand. Lord Chen could only touch his neck briefly before his whole body collapsed and twitched on the floor. Grunts emitted from his throat and his head drooped as he took his final breath.

The shadow guards were very quick. The moment Lord Chen fell, they dragged him away and cleaned the blood away rapidly. The whole process was very professional, none of them even blinking an eye at the carnage.

The conservative courtiers were sh.e.l.l-shocked at this point, and their hands were trembling.

His Highness had already made his intentions so obvious, yet Lord Chen had to interfere in this matter of political marriage.

And before that, Lord Ge was dragged away in the same manner……

Zongzheng Yu Er was closest to Lord Chen. The long skirt that she had prepared painstakingly was now stained with blood. She looked rather disheveled now, but she was more embarra.s.sed as her face burned hot. Was he rejecting her?

Baili Jia Jue took another step forward, but he did not even look at the princess. Pulling off his fur coat, he draped it over Helian Wei Wei’s head as he dragged her over to him. In a cold voice, he asked, “Who allowed you to bare your face?”

Helian Wei Wei tried to explain herself, “That cape was blocking my view.”

“You still have to wear it even if it is obscuring you.” Baili Jia Jue patted the furry head in front of him as he threw a penetrating stare toward the direction of Zongzheng Wen Ren. His gaze was icy cold.

This was when Zongzheng Wen Ren realized that he had been staring at Helian Wei Wei since the beginning.

Zongzheng Yu Er bit her lip. Suddenly, she spoke, her soft voice full of persistence. “Your Highness, no matter what decision you make, I still have to tell you that I really like you.”

Hearing this, Helian Wei Wei gave the man beside her a sideways glance and sighed heavily in her heart. What a dangerous beauty he was, attracting admirers like flies.

However, she was not afraid of the possibility of him having an eventual change of heart.

She would find a few handsome men for herself. Let’s see who will have a larger harem!

Baili Jia Jue knew what his little vixen was thinking about, so he reached out and grabbed her wrist. His grip tightened while he lowered his voice, chuckling softly into her ear. With a cautionary tone he said, “If you ever dared to do what you’re thinking about, I will bind you to the bed.”

Helian Wei Wei’s back stiffened as her face turned sincere. “I was not thinking about anything.”

Baili Jia Jue looked at her with a grim gaze, as if he was looking at a fool, and said leisurely, “I am your guardian demon, do you really think that I would be unaware of your stream of consciousness? ”

Helian Wei Wei: ……Darn! This is an invasion of privacy! This means that I cannot have any wicked intentions from now on. How annoying…

“Sure, you can still do naughty things. ” Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and kissed the corner of Helian Wei Wei’s lips, as if there was no one around. He did not care that people were staring. In a deep voice, he murmured into her ear, “… but you can only do those naughty things to me. You may do whatever you please, my mistress.”

Helian Wei Wei: ……Do not speak like you are a pimp!!

As if he was delighted by Helian Wei Wei’s frustration, Baili Jia Jue chuckled. Even those mysterious eyes of his seemed much brighter.

Zongzheng Yu Er did not expect that her confession would be ignored just like that.

That man did not even look at her once from the very beginning!

“Your Highness, why are you doing this to me? Is it wrong of me to harbor affections for you?” Zongzheng Yu Er’s tears spilled. Her weeping face was beautiful, like pear blossoms bathing in the rain.

This made the envoys and the exorcists from the other kingdoms sympathize with her.

A girl like her should be pampered. Even if the third prince of the War Dragon Dynasty was unwilling to marry her, he should not have embarra.s.sed a girl like that.
