Zi Xun was shocked. Oh right, how could she have forgotten that this person was not someone to be trifled with either.

A few years ago, a subordinate wanted to rise in rank and serve His Highness closely. He was imprisoned in the dungeon by the Shadow Lord and suffered all kinds of torture. At one point, His Highness couldn't bear to see this and specifically mentioned it to the Shadow Lord. Unexpectedly, the Shadow Lord tortured him even more severely. Later, His Highness stopped asking about it.

Your Highness has been too indulgent towards Shadow Lord. Sometimes, even Your Highness doesn't dare to go against Shadow Lord's wishes.

The woman who was engaged to His Highness didn't actually not want to see him; it was just that the Shadow Lord wouldn't allow it, saying that His Highness was already in poor health, and what if another sickly person came along and it worsened his condition?

Therefore, he single-handedly withstood the external pressure and prevented the two from meeting again. When His Highness found out, he only cursed a few times in anger and then let it go.

Zi Xun became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it. She quickly scrambled to her feet and knelt upright. "Lord Shadow, please calm your anger. Zi Xun truly knows she was wrong and will never dare to do it again."

"Please forgive me, Shadow Lord. I promise I will never dare to have any more wicked thoughts. I will only think of His Highness's condition." Zi Xun said again.

The shadow glanced at her, its voice icy, "If I find out you harbor any more improper thoughts, you'll suffer the same fate as that person from years ago. Don't even dream that His Highness will plead for you. These next few days, you'd better obediently go to the Dark Palace and learn the rules. You are not to leave the Dark Palace without my order, otherwise..."

Before Shadow could finish speaking, Zi Xun said urgently, "Shadow Lord, please calm down. It's not that Zi Xun is unwilling to be punished, but that Zi Xun was instructed by His Highness to travel to various continents with Elder Zhou to treat His Highness's illness. Please tell Shadow Lord that once Zi Xun and Elder Zhou bring back the medicine for His Highness, Zi Xun is willing to go to the Dark Palace to receive double the punishment."

Zi Xun sneered inwardly: By then, it won't be up to him to decide. After all, it was she who cured His Highness's illness. At that time, she will be His Highness's favorite, and may even become His Highness's bedmate.

Haha, a tiny shadow dares to criticize her.

Once she becomes His Highness's woman, he will be severely punished.
