Chapter I Purgatory One Night

On the ice-cold marble floor, Chu Yuehua slowly opened her eyes. Her entire body seemed to have been split into pieces and reassembled. Every inch of her skin was far away from her heart, making her unable to control it.

Pain!

This was the most practical feeling, coming from every corner of his body.

Suddenly, she remembered. Last night …

Her beautiful large eyes were suddenly filled with fear. She quickly got up. The fear in her heart made her forget the pain in her body.

His messy clothes and hair had long since turned into a beehive. His body also had that unique feeling …

All of this explained one thing.

Tears fell rapidly from his eyes, one after another, fast and helpless.

No, she had to leave, she had to leave, she couldn't stay any longer, what should she do, what should she do?

What was she going to do?

King Yu had just been conferred the title of crown prince, yet she, the crown prince's consort, was already in such a situation. What should she do? He would definitely feel his heart ache. He would definitely be very sad. Would he lose the position of crown prince that he obtained with great difficulty?

Chu Yuehua's heart was in a mess. The more she wanted to quickly tidy up her appearance, the more her hands trembled.

There was a comb stuck into her hair. She couldn't get it out no matter how hard she tried. Her tears, which had originally been like a torrential rain, fell even faster.

It was almost dawn. She had to leave soon. Where were her shoes? And the other shoe?

Chu Yuehua fumbled in panic, the dark room made it so that her tear-filled eyes could not see anything.

”You're awake?”

A cold, emotionless voice rang out. Chu Yuehua paused in her rush to find her shoes, and blankly raised her head to look in the direction of the voice.

It's the crown prince! It was her husband!

”Your Highness!” Her voice was surprisingly hoarse, but the urgency in it was obvious.

The lights in the room suddenly came on, and a shadowy figure slipped away under a curtain.

The candles that were as thick as eight tea bowls shone brightly into the room. Chu Yuehua subconsciously moved backwards a bit, as if she was trying to find a shadow to hide her wretched appearance.

However, her mind kept replaying what had happened last night.

At the banquet held at the crown prince's residence, she saw that the crown prince had not returned in the middle of the night, so she came out to look for him.

She recognized two or three of them, but she didn't expect that the normally well-dressed people would all turn into beasts at this time.

In this very room, no matter how she cried for help or struggled, she could not escape those hands. She was trapped like a demon in a trap.

Tears began to fall again, ”Your Highness! I... ”I …”

She felt as if her heart was filled with countless sour tears, causing her to be unable to speak.

She cried for a long time, then raised her eyes, only to see that the man standing there, was tall and slender, and didn't even move his sleeves.

She was somewhat stunned, what should she do about this matter, wasn't it up to His Highness to decide?

That group of people dared to do such a thing in the crown prince's residence, and they should be punished. She looked at the man with an imploring expression.

But there was no emotion on his face. It was as if he was a statue that had been carved out of stone with a knife.

”What do you think we should do?”

Her voice was flat, without any ripples. It was just like how he used to ask her what she was going to do when she said that she wanted to plant a few vats of water lilies in the yard.

No! At that time, there was still a hint of a smile on his face, but now …

For some reason, she shivered, shrunk her body, and then her lips trembled. ”Your Highness, they … They are going too far! ”

”I request Your Highness to uphold justice for chenqie!”

”Have you not realized your own problem?” He suddenly crouched down to her, placed a hand under her chin, and turned her face toward him. His eyes stared at her as coldly as a falcon's.

”I …” Chu Yuehua looked at him, not knowing what to say. There were a thousand things in her heart that she couldn't say.

”I am the crown prince and you are the crown prince's consort. Don't you know what you should do after what has happened?”

What should I do? What should he do?
