“Prince Rong injured and humiliated you, but his crime does not warrant death. Your Highness, why are you so ruthless? Could it be that you have ulterior motives? I have heard that your relationship with Prince Rong is quite extraordinary…”
Before she could finish speaking, Su Tiyue frowned slightly, and her eyes flickered with a hint of guilt and nervousness.
Xiao Heye slowly walked forward, raised his hand and gently pulled her clothes, which had slipped down to her waist, to the back of her neck, as if afraid that the clothes would slip down again. He gently held her fragrant shoulder with his thick palm.
Xiao Heye leaned down, bringing his head close to her ear, his voice low and sinister: "This servant has heard that Your Majesty's younger sister, Su Nianyue, died less than half a year after marrying Prince Rong.
