Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Hidden Murderous Intent!
He spoke with a bold and vigorous spirit, his eyes filled with sincerity!
“Now I’ve been a former Crown Prince for a long time. You can call me Elder Leisure!”
His words didn’t convince Liu Sisi at all; on the contrary, they made her even more fearful and flustered, waving her hands continuously.
“No, no, no… This is absolutely impossible! Sisi is already married and has children. How can she travel all over the place? This plan is definitely not feasible!”
Even if it could work, she wouldn’t dare trouble him!
It turned out to be the former Crown Prince himself! If she really relied on him and the news got out, she probably wouldn’t have a peaceful life in the future.
This was truly an unexpected misfortune!
She never intended to do such a thing, right?
“Hmph! That husband of yours who killed his mother and abandoned his wife?”
The former Crown Prince, Elder Leisure, snorted coldly, glaring, “What’s the use of keeping such a man? It would be better to divorce him directly, and I can help you find someone who is truly intimate. I guarantee you two will live happily together in harmony!” It was evident that he had no fondness for Di Yelei!
These words angered Liu Sisi!
Her face was full of fear and reverence, as she hurriedly bowed, “Your Highness, please do not mention this matter again. Sisi and Ye Lei’s love is as strong as metal, and I have already pledged my life to him alone, not to marry another. I beg Your Highness to take back your decree!”
He was nothing more than a former Crown Prince, and yet he was so overbearing!
An attendant carrying a tray approached, overhearing Liu Sisi’s words. The attendant was so frightened that their body shivered, their head almost buried in their chest, standing at the junction with trembling legs, not knowing whether to move on or retreat.
“Is this your true heart?”
Elder Leisure’s eyes narrowed slightly, his face disapproving. It was evident that he was annoyed by Liu Sisi for opposing him so openly, making him lose face.
The sound of such harsh words above her head made Liu Sisi shudder involuntarily.
But she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persist, “This is Sisi’s true heart. Our husband and wife are as strong as metal, our hearts connected. I beg Your Highness to take back your decree!”
“You dare to defy me, who gave you such courage! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”
The former Crown Prince suddenly scolded with a low roar!
An overwhelming pressure and murderous intent emanated from him, almost crushing Liu Sisi’s delicate body. One moment he spoke kindly, and the next he wanted to fight and kill, proving that being with a ruler is like being with a tiger!
“Your Highness, please forgive me! Please forgive this ignorant commoner who is unable to accept your grace. Please have pity!”
She forced herself to kneel on the spot, her head lowered without budging, immovable like a mountain, refusing to relent.
After a while, the pressure on her body suddenly eased, and Elder Leisure’s voice rose again.
“Fine! You remember what you said today. I would like to see how strong your love is, how connected your hearts are! Get up, the ground is cold, be careful of hurting your knees when you get older.” While speaking, he extended his hand again to help her up from the ground.
His words were calm, but they hid a deadly intent, making Liu Sisi’s heart sink.
“Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy!”
Looking at the mud stains on her knees, Liu Sisi broke out in a cold sweat.
“Don’t worry! This is a mink fur long banner that I ordered for you some days ago. What’s more, the quality of this fur is very good, with an even color. Here, let me put it on you.” As he spoke, he took the mink fur long banner from the tray held by an attendant nearby, put it directly on her shoulders, and flicked off the accumulated snow on her shoulder.
With the fur on her body, even the cold was kept out, bringing warmth.
