Xiao Tang was dragged into the house and held tightly by the two men. In fact, she was capable of resisting.

but……

In order to gain the villain's favor and trust, she had no choice but to... pretend to be weak.

She can act, after all.

"My lord, the princess has arrived," said Yan Jiu, the guard on the left.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tang's lips twitched slightly.

[Does this guy have some comprehension issues? Did his PE teacher teach him Chinese? Your lord told you to "guide" him, and you're here to escort prisoners?]

[I'm so angry!!]

"Hmm." Slowly, the man's deep, alluring voice rang out from the other side.

Even a single, short syllable can be captivating.

Xiao Tang was drawn to his voice and slightly raised her eyelids.

The man, dressed in black robes, leaned lazily against the headboard. His long silver hair was loose, and his features were exquisite. He held a scroll in his left hand and calmly flipped through it.

From Xiao Tang's angle, she could just catch a glimpse of the man's stunning profile, every detail as if meticulously sculpted by the heavens!

No matter how many times Xiao Tang saw this face, she was always amazed.

[This scoundrel may have questionable character, but his looks are just too good for me!]

The previously calm man suddenly raised his eyes, toying with the scroll in his hand, his dark phoenix eyes half-closed, "Is the Princess new to the Prince's residence and unfamiliar with the rules?"

How dare you call him a scoundrel?

Oh!

Xiao Tang immediately put on her acting skills, pretending to be frightened, and rushed to the bedside, saying pitifully, "Your Highness, I have always lived in the countryside, so it is understandable that I do not know the rules of the palace, right?"

Heh, I'm not going to stoop to your level, you two-dimensional character.

[You bastard, the sooner you die, the sooner you'll be reincarnated.]

I'm so carefree...

Well……

Suddenly, her neck was grabbed. The man's long, slender fingers landed on her neck, which was her fateful neck. However, one hand easily grasped her slender neck.

With just a little force, she could easily be decapitated!

In the original book, this scoundrel is a highly skilled and mysterious martial artist who kills people without blinking an eye, earning him the title of "Shura" from the world.

The murderous aura emanating from him at this moment was also a reminder to Xiao Tang to be extremely careful.

"Your Highness is quite an interesting and charming girl, but she doesn't know any manners. Shall I send you to hell to learn some manners?"

The man's fingers traced patterns on her neck.

It sent a shiver down her spine.

He hadn't forgotten that this woman had forcibly kissed him not long ago.

He had never seen such a bold and reckless woman before.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Xiao Tang's forehead.

"Your Highness... no, that won't do. You've only just recovered. I'm here to bring good luck. Why don't we wait until Your Highness is feeling better before we make our move?"

Anyway, you'll die by the Seventh Prince's sword in three months, and the woman you can't have will marry him.

When you die, I'll definitely burn incense and set off firecrackers to celebrate.

[Oh dear, the villain probably has no idea how pathetic his death was. He was poisoned by the woman he loved, his body crawling with Gu worms, and his head was even eaten away by them.]

【Oh my god, that's disgusting.】

[He was clinging to the woman's legs when the Seventh Prince severed both his arms with a single sword strike.]

[The worst part is, even after he died, no one claimed his body, and the people burned down his Regent's Palace. That shows how much the people love him! Tsk tsk!]

At this moment, Xiao Tang looked at Di Jingling as if he were looking at a dead man.

Of course, there's a touch of sympathy mixed in with the sight of the dead.

[What a jinx! May you be reborn as a good dog in your next life!]

Suddenly, I felt a pain in my neck.

Di Jingling heard all her thoughts, and his eyes immediately blazed with anger. He tightened his grip on her neck!

It's one thing that he died a tragic death, but what's with all this talk about the woman he couldn't have?

How could he not know that he wanted a certain woman?

Having lived a life of purity and abstinence for so many years, he has no interest in any woman, including Xiao Rourou!

Xiao Rourou was entrusted to his care by his benefactor, so he had no choice but to do so.

Xiao Tang thought: [Oh no, oh no, is he really going to strangle me? Is it too late for me to offer him an antidote now?]
