Chapter 18: Killing and Destroying the Heart

"So, the person you wanted to kill last time wasn't me, but Tang Bao?"

The man walked in, his sinister eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as Yun Yanyao stared blankly at Prince Qing, shaking her head stiffly and repeatedly, "You are Yao'er's father. Yao'er, Yao'er, how could I kill you?"

"Father, Father..." Yun Yanyao, shaking like a sieve, tried desperately to suppress her fear as she crawled towards Prince Yun Che, "Father, I believe in you. I know you never eat breakfast..."

Every time she made her mother angry, she would just hug her and everything would be fine...it should be the same for her father.

That Tang Bao has a bad temper and always makes her father unhappy... She is different, she is the best at coaxing people.

As long as Yaoer is given a chance, no one will dislike Yaoer.

Yun Che raised his head slightly and exhaled. When Yun Yanyao was about to touch his trouser legs, he picked her up and pressed her into the porridge bowl.

The porridge was poisonous, extremely poisonous. Yun Yanyao held her breath and struggled desperately.

When she was thrown to the ground, she felt that she was finally alive. She didn't care about anything else and quickly wiped all the porridge off her face with her skirt. Only then did she dare to breathe deeply.

The man walked up to her slowly and without warning stepped on her hand that was pressed to the ground.

Yun Yanyao couldn't stop shaking all over, crying out "wow", and finally looked like a child.

"Father, please calm down! Father, please spare my life! Yao'er knows she was wrong. Yao'er is just too jealous of Tang Bao. Yao'er also wants Father to hug me..."

"Enough!" Prince Qing's eyes blazed with anger, his temples throbbing. "I know you're precocious and can understand what others say. That day with Shen, although I was unconscious, I clearly remember the small red mole at the corner of her eye."

"From the moment your mother came to me pregnant, I knew there was no way she could be carrying my child!"

"..." Yun Yanyao looked up in shock, the word "father" stuck in her throat, and her eyes no longer had the previous firmness.

"I only found out a few days ago that your grandfather had actually planted spies in my Prince Qing's mansion. And you are nothing but a bastard born from your mother's obedience to your grandfather's arrangements and her adultery with a criminal slave!"

"I have said it before, I have nothing to do with you! If you dare to disobey me again, I will cut off your tongue." Prince Qing gritted his teeth.

Yun Yanyao collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face like a dam bursting, but she could no longer cry out.

How is that possible?

How could she, her father, be a guilty slave?

She looked at Prince Qing, then turned her head to look at Tang Bao who had been standing at the door for some time.

Those two faces, one large and one small, looked as if they were carved from the same mold! And she really didn't resemble His Royal Highness Prince Qing at all, nor did she look like her mother...

Is mother crazy?!

Prince Qing glanced at the little fellow at the door and said to the guard beside him, "Send Miss Zhao and the five wooden boxes that the young princess prepared for her to Yanfang Pavilion first."

He had scared Tang Bao more than once. He didn't want to kill anyone in front of his daughter again, and he didn't want the little girl to think that he was so cruel that he wouldn't even let a child go.

Zhao's child is a born evil person. Keeping her will bring endless troubles. She must die, but she must not die at the hands of Yun Che.

Otherwise, if the Zhao family took advantage of the situation, not only would it cause more trouble, but it would also inevitably implicate Tang Bao.

Xiao Tangbao subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at his father in disbelief.

Daddy knew that Sister Zhao was not a good person. She was full of malice towards Tang Bao and even tried to kill Tang Bao twice. Why did he keep her in the house and let her take those boxes back?

Daddy can't tell right from wrong, he's a complete fool!

Tears welled up in his eyes and Xiao Tangbao turned and ran. Chengfeng tried to chase him but was called back by Prince Qing.

He just thought the little girl was frightened. He believed his daughter was strong enough and wanted to let her calm down on her own.

…

The cold wind blew in his face, scattering the tears on Xiao Tangbao's face.

The little fellow, who was still unfamiliar with the entire Prince Qing's Mansion, ran all the way to the side courtyard where he had stayed on the first day he came to the palace.

She remembered that there was an old locust tree there, which was very tall and strong.

After circling the old tree, she endured the pain in her hands and climbed up grunting.

She had just sat hugging the tree trunk for a while when several old maids gathered under the tree with their brooms tucked under their arms and their hands in their pockets.

"Have you heard? Miss Yan Yao poisoned the little princess's food this morning and was caught red-handed by the prince! The prince has ordered her to be placed under house arrest in Yanfang Pavilion."

"Ah? How is that possible? The little princess is the prince's only daughter. If the prince knew that Miss Yan Yao wanted to kill the princess, wouldn't he tear Miss Yan Yao apart alive?!"

"Tsk! You don't know this, right? Not only did the prince not order Miss Yan Yao to be killed, he even ordered five large boxes full of items to be sent to Yan Fang Pavilion!"

"After all, they grew up right under my nose. I'd still feel attached to them even if they were just kittens and puppies!"

"Besides, so what if he's his biological child? Have you forgotten that the prince hates being deceived and plotted against the most? Even if he's his only child, he's the product of adultery and a scheme... a disgrace to the prince."

“…”

Xiao Tangbao didn't listen to the rest of the words. She only remembered the three words "born out of wedlock". She didn't understand what that meant, but she knew it was definitely not a good word.

Daddy hates it most when people plot against and deceive him... Does that mean he hates Mom too?

Will he resent and hate Tang Bao because he hates Tang Bao's mother?

Wuuuuu... But Tangbao seems to like daddy a little bit...

Wuuuuu... Being hated by the person you like is such an annoying thing!

Higher up on the treetops, the ghost Yan Li saw the sadness in Tang Bao's eyes and couldn't help but float to her side: "Little Tang Bao, do you miss your master?"

Tang Bao wanted his master to hug him, but he got nothing, and felt even more aggrieved.

Completely unaware of the situation, Yan Li continued to teach her little by little: "There are millions of people in the world, and everyone has different thoughts. Life is hard enough. Don't care too much about what others think, especially if they are malicious."

"As for your father, love flows to those who are good at asking for it. It's not wise for you to always give in silence. You should tell others directly what you want and what you hope to receive."

Tang Bao: "But what if they not only still dislike Tang Bao, but also think that Tang Bao is being unreasonable?"

Yan Li said without thinking:

"Then try to get what you want and stay away from him completely!"

"For example, if your father is really hard to change and doesn't know how good our Tangbao is, then you should cling to him tightly and try your best to gain some benefits for yourself. When you grow up, we can just run away."

"..." Is this still possible? Xiao Tangbao nodded thoughtfully.

Then she would have to carry all her belongings with her so that she could escape at any time.

The little guy was distracted when he was suddenly picked up and dropped to the ground.

She looked up at the angry man expressionlessly: "Daddy, what is an illegitimate child?"
