"How could that be? I'll reward you with ten braised pig heads right now."

Shen Jiao: "???" What the heck? A psychological suggestion technique to quickly transform into Princess Feifei?

...

When Ji Xiao was captured, he went crazy for a while, unable to believe that after years of careful planning and lingering on his life, he had been defeated again!

He went completely mad, pointing at the heavens and cursing, insisting that Ji Yan had cheated and that if he had another three to five years, he would definitely be able to take Ji Yan's dog's life!

Zhou Hu scoffed after hearing this, but couldn't bear to tell Ji Xiao. Did he really think His Majesty didn't know about the death he had staged years ago?

Your Majesty is young but shrewd and calculating, with a thousand and eight schemes in your mind. Letting Ji Xiao escape is just because you're bored and want to have some fun with a clown.

"Your Highness, to be honest, if you were honest and dutiful and worked hard in silence, His Majesty would not bother with you. He would be willing to let you do whatever you wanted for ten or fifteen years, let alone three or five. What a pity, what a pity, of all people you could have targeted, you had to set your sights on Miss Chen."

In the dungeon, Zhou Hu chuckled softly. His slightly teasing "Your Highness the Crown Prince" drove Ji Xiao mad.

He roared, "I was born to be the crown prince! I am the true king of Great Yan! It was that madman Ji Yan who usurped my throne and stole everything that belonged to me. He deserves to die, he deserves to lose!"

Ji Xiao was bound to a cross-shaped wooden stake. His extreme anger made his veins bulge. He struggled wildly, and the iron chains rattled against the stake.

"The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times. His Majesty, out of consideration for family ties, spared the Crown Prince's life. This prison was built specifically for the Crown Prince. With such imperial grace, Your Highness should enjoy the rest of your life well," Zhou Hu said coldly.
