The familiar sounds of horses and guards galloping out of the King's Palace filled the air.
Someone who had just finished kowtowing and was about to leave couldn't help but rub their eyes, exclaiming, "That, that, that's Prince Yuansheng?!"
"Prince Yuansheng is awake?!"
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper of the Prince's mansion responded loudly, "Our Prince has indeed woken up, hahaha..."
The news spread throughout Shengjing with the speed of a hurricane.
They were immediately puzzled. Prince Yuansheng had just woken up, so why was he in such a hurry to go somewhere?
At this moment, Xiao Zhixing had no time to care about anything else and was leading his men out of the city.
Viewers flooded into Ji Bai's live stream room.
He was taken to a villa outside the city, bound and gagged, where he slowly woke up.
"Awake?" A familiar, sinister voice rang out from the corner.
Ji Bai forced his eyes open, "Sealed off?!"
"Oh, it's kind of you that Minister Ji still remembers me." Feng Hui patted the dagger in his hand and stepped out of the shadows.
He squatted down, patted Ji Baiqi's beautiful face, and said with fascination, "This face is so beautiful."
Ji Bai's face was as cold as ice, and he moved back in disgust. "What do you want to do?"
"What for? Of course, it's... *you*."
Ji Bai showed a hint of panic and shouted sharply, "How dare you! I am an official appointed by the imperial court!!"
Feng Hui chuckled evilly, "Haha, I'm about to become the heir of the Marquis's mansion, why wouldn't I dare?"
"You bastard who was raped by your own stepfather, what are you pretending to be so noble and virtuous for?"
Ji Bai's face turned deathly pale instantly, as if someone had ripped open his deepest wound.
Feng Hui admired his fear and pallor, and whispered a threat in his ear, "If you don't want me to reveal your secret to the whole world, then you'd better behave."
He grinned wickedly, untying the ropes binding him. "Don't even think about escaping. My men are everywhere outside. Oh, Xiao Zhixing is unconscious, no one will come to save you..."
"Also, are you feeling uncomfortable down there? Hehe, I've already had my subordinates 'test' you, and they all said it was good."
He enjoys seeing him in despair; it gets his blood pumping.
The live stream chat was filled with insults and profanities.
[Red comments: Don't believe him, no one touched you!!] People who like Ji Bai are going crazy.
They knew his fierce nature best.
[Yellow comment: Yes, yes, it's fake, he's deliberately misleading you!!]
Xiao Zhixing made Xue Ye run faster and faster, but finally abandoned it and used his internal energy to leap forward to catch up.
The next moment, her worst fears came true.
Ji Bai suddenly headbutted Feng Hui in the forehead, then snatched the dagger and plunged it into Feng Hui's chest.
He screamed in agony, then burst into laughter, his state becoming bizarre and manic.
"You all dislike me, haha, you dare to look down on me? What are you anyway? You've been raped, haha, you're filthy, Ji Bai."
Ji Bai was deathly pale.
"I genuinely want to be your friend, so why do you dislike me just because of what others say? What gives you the right? What makes you all look down on me?"
Feng Hui clutched his chest as he got up, waving his arms and roaring inside the room, completely ignoring the bleeding wound. "Alright, now you have no right to look down on me, hahaha, hahaha..."
Ji Bai got up and brandished his dagger.
[Three dimensions: Ahhhhhh no!!!]
Bang! The door was kicked open.
Xiao Zhixing darted forward and grabbed the person, "Ji Tongban!"
Ji Bai was taken aback, his face filled with surprise and delight. "Your Highness, you're awake?... Uh, what did you think I was going to do?"
Suicide?
Xiao Zhixing let go of his hand, secretly wiping away sweat, not because he thought he was going to commit suicide.
A few years ago, during that incident at the Northern Barbarian army camp, he almost bit his tongue and committed suicide; he has a very fierce temperament.
Ji Bai chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't commit suicide."
He's not that stupid; he just did that to trick Feng Hui into letting him go.
Xiao Zhixing gave an "oh," then turned around and looked Feng Hui with disgust. "Feng Hui, you've asked for your own death today..."
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Hui collapsed with a groan and died.
Ji Bai walked over, tossed the dagger to Feng Hui, turned his back to her, and softly said, "Your Highness, may you grant me the surname Xiao?"
He didn't want to carry on with the disgusting name Ji Bai, as it would remind him of those unbearable past events.
The prince must have investigated him, so he pleaded sincerely.
Xiao Zhixing sighed, "Alright... Xiao Jue, you will be called Xiao Jue from now on."
His face has caused a lot of trouble; it seems we'll need to assign him more bodyguards in the future.
"Xiao Jue?" Ji Bai, no, Xiao Jue murmured gently, "Thank you, Your Highness, I like it very much."
[Yellow comment: Ahhhhh, Xiao Jue?! He's Xiao Jue?!]
The chat in the third dimension went crazy, and the first and second dimensions immediately pressed for information about Xiao Jue's story.
[Yellow comment: Didn't we mention earlier that our prince had three great grudges? One of them was the death of Xiao Jue. Historical records state that the prince was extremely grieved, and blood was spilled in the capital. Yes, Xiao Jue was killed by Feng Hui, which is why we call Feng Hui a great villain!]
[Yellow comment: I never expected this! Ji Bai is actually Xiao Jue! That makes all the sense. We've been looking for him, and here he is.]
[Yellow comment: Ahhh, are we the only ones excited? Unofficial historical records suggest this might be the man the prince liked!!]
[Yellow comment: Get lost, where did you guys get the idea that the prince likes him?]
[Yellow comment: This has changed too, that's good, Your Highness no longer needs to feel regret.]
The comments section started debating the various rumors, while viewers number one and two just watched the drama unfold.
Was Xiao Jue killed because he was imprisoned?
Xiao Zhixing wondered to himself, was Feng Hui's death at the hands of Xiao Jue a predetermined fate?
She patted Xiao Jue on the shoulder, pulled out Ruoshui sword, cut off the seal, and put it back in her hand. "Come, follow me to the palace."
