Chapter 17 - I’m the Assassin, You Know It (1/2)

Tranquil night, in a secluded place, Hua Qingxin walked towards the tree.

“You Highness…”

Yunhai turned to her and held her hands anxiously, “Are you OK, Qingxin?”

Hua Qingxin pulled her hands back and turned back indifferently, “So, now you care about me?”

Yunhai knew clearly what she meant and said awkwardly, “I didn’t expect he would share the same horse with you.”

“You intended to kill him.” Hua Qingxin stared at him, as if she hardly knew him, “That’s your damn plan?”

Yunhai fell into silence. It was also a struggle for him to make that decision.

“He is your own flesh and blood.” Hua Qingxin took a deep breath, “My sister assured me that you would not kill him. I thought you just wanted to save yourself.”

“I will not be safe until he dies! Yunhai suddenly said aloud. Frowning, he told her firmly, “Either he dies, or I do.”

Hua Qingxin stumbled backward. The man she had been so familiar with seemed like a total stranger now, “So I’m just a woman you could make use of in the imperial harem…You even didn’t think about what would happen to me if you failed.”

“I shouldn’t have failed. He prepared for it, as he didn’t even trust you.” Yunhai looked at her as if she betrayed him.

Hua Qingxin just felt disappointed and sneered, “You told me that he was cold and cruel, but actually you are all the same.”

“Of course, we are.” Yunhai ridiculed and asked, “Is it merciful to incarcerate him in the jail forever? If anything happens to him, you are also the murderer.”

“Yes.” Hua Qingxin clutched at her neckline. She felt terrified, ashamed, guilty and self-condemned, “Yes, I am, I am also the murderer…”

Yunhai couldn’t bear to see her suffering and hugged her, “Qingxin, I didn’t tell you the plan because I didn’t want you to have too much burden. I thought it would be simple and quick… It’s all my fault…”

So absurd. He felt it was a fault to not give the emperor a deadly shoot.

And Yun Cang… Even with a serious wound, he was still planning how to revenge his own brother. How pathetic they were…

“Both of you are malicious…” Hua Qingxin pounded the back of Prince Yunhai furiously.

No far from them, Yun Cang stood under the shadow of the trees. He saw Hua Qingxin hugging with his own brother.

They were quarreling about the past. They loved each other, hated each other,  made use of each other, conciliated with each other, and finally hugging together, crying.
