Chapter 4 – The young and cute girl tricked the Prince

There was 36 astute, capable and experienced Imperial bodyguards standing on both sides to keep the way clear. Four girls in the flower of their age were dedicate holding, one after another, the imperial canopy. Under the imperial canopy stood a man in fine clothes, handsome, not lacking any of the high and mighty royal dignity.

This person was the sixth son of Chang Kong country’s monarch, Ji Yunhao.

He slowly advanced until he was around 10 meters away from the iron cage. He indifferently swept a glance at Ning Xuemo without hiding the disgust in his eyes. “Ning Xuemo, what do you still have to say?”

Ning Xuemo raised her head. Her extremely black eyes welcomed the sight of Ji Yunhao. Suddenly, the corner of her mouth slowly hook into a light smile. “Sixth Prince, what do you wish for me to say?” Because of the scorching hot day, her voice was somewhat hoarse. However, this much couldn’t hide the soft voice that came out. Unexpectedly, the voice was oddly pleasant to hear.

Ji Yunhao slightly frowned. He was choked by her words.

After that lowly girl was imprisoned, she continuously cried out a grievance, shouting with all her energy that she was wronged, until her voice was hoarse and her eyes were swollen, but no one would believe her words.

She continuously cried from sunset to sundown, only, now, did she stopped and hit her head on the iron cage out of despair. He believed she had already knocked herself to death, that’s why he came to see with his own eyes. In front of those people, he wanted to establish his reputation as an able and virtuous prince, gracing her with his kindness by commanding people to put her body in an old coffin. He didn’t expect that when he arrived she didn’t knock herself to death. It made his mind quite agitated.

He believed he would be able to see a lifeless Ning Xuemo with messy hair and dirty hair, dirty to an unbearable point. However, he didn’t expect she was combing her hair while calmly sitting there as if she wasn’t sitting inside an iron cage, but in a tranquil and elegant teahouse, and she could still smile!

Her complexion was obviously pale like a ghost, but the smile underneath had some sort of splendor that made it shined in front of people’s eyes.

He never knew her smile could be this sweet like a pure child, but the corner of her mouth slanted with a trace of evilness.

Ji Yunhao’s heart slightly palpitated! Immediately, he wrinkled his eyebrows and slightly increased his voice, “It is not about what I wished for you to say. I only want to hear the truth! Are you aware of your crime?”
