C7 (1/2)

The recent imperial city was bustling with activity, and two pieces of news spread like wildfire.

First, after five consecutive years of drought and war, the people of the Great Ye were in great pain. The fourth prince Xiao Ye's suggestion to build new dams in the northern regions was finally accepted by the emperor half a month ago in the early morning court.

Thus, Xiao Ye was conferred the title of Prince and became the first prince to be conferred the title of Prince.

Second, a few days ago, every gambling house opened a wager that involved the young lady of the Yongning Marquis's house. Due to his disappointment, the eighth time he jumped into the river, he didn't know whether he would live or die. This morning, the bet opened: Ji Hua Chang tried to seek death and woke up in a coma for three days and killed three people consecutively.

In just four short hours, the news had already spread to everyone. The gamblers were wailing in grief as they all said that the young miss of the Yongning Family was born with a tough life. His murderous aura was so strong that even the underworld's Yama King didn't dare accept his. On the other hand, Xiao Ning had become the second prince of the Jin Emperor due to his acceptance of that evil fiend, Ji Hua Chang. He was bestowed the title of 'King Ning' by the Emperor.

If one were to say that Prince Xian was in the limelight for the time being, Ning Wang was still the most unlucky one!

Because of this, Ji Huaguang's notoriety had spread far and wide!

On the wide street, a large group of people were walking over. Everywhere they passed, people would move away and point at them while discussing.

”How strange, why don't you guys tell me why she didn't die …”

”That evil fiend, he caused me to lose everything this time again. Fuck him, I'll bet her to death the next time, and I won't believe it. If she doesn't die now, I'll wipe my own neck …”

”I'm afraid your wish has failed. The imperial edict has already been passed down. He's already the future Crown Prince Ning. Isn't it foolish to commit suicide again …”

”That's because you're too ignorant and ill-informed. I've heard that Ning Wang became furious and fought the emperor for his woman. He's determined not to marry the fiend even if he's against the imperial edict, and is still kneeling in the Soaring Dragon Palace …”

”Do you know anything about the palace? ”It must be some nonsense...”

”Tch, my second uncle was walking in front of the palace, and he told me so himself. Besides, who didn't know that the person Ning Wang liked was the second young miss of the Ji Clan? ”That evil star stuck his leg in horizontally, snatching the love away with a saber. He broke apart this couple who were suffering so much just to live. Ai, it truly is sinful …”

The crowd was in an uproar. Pearl stole a glance at An Su who was standing in the middle of the crowd as if she was frozen. It was truly tearing the man's heart apart.

An Su remained expressionless, but her hands under her sleeves were clenched to the point that their bones were turning white.

It had only been three months, but the world had already turned upside down. The entire imperial city had returned to its former prosperity, and due to the rain, the people were all smiling, their faces were full of hope for the future, and they were even full of energy as they talked about these things.

On the other hand, she and the An clan had been mercilessly killed and forgotten.

Except for Ji Yanran, who was extremely angry.

No one mentioned it again!

The old Mansion of the Guardian of the Kingdom and the late Prince Lin Jiang's Mansion seemed to have never appeared in this world before. The House of An was replaced with a brand-new plaque, and the Mansion Stone Lion at the entrance was replaced by a qilin stone beast.

Remembering how she had fled in fear, An Su felt suffocated. That was because her home had long been changed, and all her past had been wiped clean.

She didn't dare to stop for even a moment, not even to have the courage to approach him.

Even though it was clear that it was a clear day, she could see a sky-high black aura rising from the house to the south of the imperial city. Countless malevolent souls were savagely charging towards her for their lives.

In that moment, she was afraid, and she regretted …

She was so scared that she didn't dare to take another look, yet she couldn't tear her gaze away. She regretted so much that she wanted to stab herself to death, but she didn't dare to die before taking revenge on her great enemy.

And the culprit who caused all of this was still living in peace.

Why?

Under her wild hair, her eyes were dry and tear-stained, and the boiling water in her chest was boiling. She wanted to scream out loud, but her throat was restrained by a big hand, making no sound at all.

After an unknown period of time, only when she was knocked down and half knelt on the ground did she stop. Her eyes were looking into the distance, without any signs of being scorched.

Have you ever loved?

Have you ever hated it?

Her love was like a bright drop of water that bloomed at the corner of her right eye. It was as red as blood and it grinded away the pride of not losing to a man. It caused all her faith and perseverance to crumble and shatter in an instant.

The only thing left was hatred and regret!

Father, you have taught me since I was young that those who wish to cure their country should go to their homes; those who wish to go to their homes, they should first cultivate their bodies; those who wish to cultivate their bodies, they should first comprehend their hearts.

But you are wrong, Father. A Su has never been stingy with her heart. Although she is a girl, she has always been loyal to her country and protected the people to protect the land of the Great Ye. In the end, she only ended up like this.
