And then there's Han Luoxue. Now I finally understand why I felt uncomfortable when I first met her.
They had never met before, nor had they ever crossed paths. Even if Han Luoxue was good-looking, there were plenty of beautiful noble ladies in the capital, yet Han Luoxue was the one she disliked the most.
At this moment, Mengyao suddenly realized that the two of them were indeed natural enemies.
Why is it that Han Luoxue gets Ouyang Zhen's love? She likes him too, she's liked him for so many years!
Mengyao sobbed, thinking that if she could start her life over again, she would never have given up on Zhen Wang.
Even if it meant breaking ties with her family, she would never agree to annul the engagement.
...
"I am the Crown Prince of Yaori Kingdom, you cannot treat me like this!"
Xu Liang took the man to the dungeon and immediately began to whip him with a regular leather whip, then splashed him with cold water, and whipped him again.
After repeated beatings, both princes were eventually beaten until they lost their temper.
Especially the crown prince of Xiyao Kingdom, who has never committed such a crime since childhood?
Hearing his shouts, Xu Liang smiled slightly, slowly walked over, and waved his hand to stop the soldiers.
The Crown Prince of Xiyao Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from the whipping; his body was still in too much pain.
"Ouyang Zhen, I demand to see Ouyang Zhen!" Xi Wujue said angrily.
"You want to see our Crown Prince?"
Xu Liang looked at her with amusement, took the whip, and used the end of the whip to tease Xi Wujue's chin. Looking at that fairly good-looking face, he scoffed, "Who do you think you are?"
Xi Wujue was stunned. He was the Crown Prince, his identity was beyond doubt, right?
"My crown prince said that he would spare your life. Who do you think you are?"
Xu Liang sneered. It seems this crown prince isn't very smart. Even now, he still can't see the current situation.
Did he still think he was that high and mighty crown prince?
Perhaps their country has indeed amassed a considerable military force, not far from Xishu.
But she, the leading crown prince, has already become a prisoner.
In the Western Yao Kingdom, the Crown Prince holds absolute power.
The news has probably already been sent back, but I wonder when the Emperor will find out!
I bet they'll be very surprised to hear that!
"Your Highness, rest assured, we will obey your orders completely and will definitely spare your life!"
Xu Liang sneered and threw the whip in his hand, which a soldier hurriedly caught.
"General, shall we continue?"
Xu Liang smiled broadly, looking at the two princes, one on the left and one on the right, who were remarkably well-proportioned: "Continue! Remember, spare their lives!"
"If they can't hold on any longer, call the medic over!"
"Spare my life" is a strict order, given personally by His Highness.
"Xu Liang!"
Although Ouyang Fu was in excruciating pain, he felt dizzy and his vision blurred. When he looked at Xu Liang, there were two or three people in front of him.
He shook his head vigorously, forcing himself to stay alert: "I am your crown prince!"
"The former crown prince!"
Xu Liang patiently corrected him, and Ouyang Fu gritted his teeth in anger.
His father was really ruthless; he had only been missing for a short time, and the other side had already impatiently established a new crown prince!
Did the Emperor have long wanted to depose him as the Crown Prince?
What's even more ridiculous is that the last time the emperor asked him to go out and distribute rice seedlings was when he was sent out by his father.
After some investigation, he and his men concluded that this was an opportunity deliberately given to him by his father to earn a good reputation.
He went there with great enthusiasm, but to his surprise, Ouyang Zhen returned to the capital.
Then he was hunted down, and Ouyang Zhen became the new crown prince!
Looking back on it later, I always felt that it was all a conspiracy between my father and Ouyang Zhen.
But why? Ouyang Zhen comes from a good family; he has the backing of the Wu Da General's Mansion.
But he himself was no less capable! During the famine, the army didn't even have enough food, and the soldiers were all starving. He used his own savings to buy expensive grain so that the soldiers could have something to eat.
He even supported the soldiers in Yongyang.
But what happened? Those heartless bastards turned around and continued to follow the old general.
They've completely forgotten about the prince who raised them. The prince is now incredibly frustrated.
"Father wouldn't be so heartless to me!" Ouyang Fu still couldn't believe it.
Seeing Ouyang Fu's expression of utter despair, Xu Liang kindly stepped forward and reminded him, "His Majesty certainly wouldn't have acted like this before!"
"But why did you betray your country?"
As a general guarding the frontier, what he hated most was a traitor.
If this had been one of his soldiers, or even just an ordinary person, Xu Liang would have already killed them, perhaps even subjected them to public slicing!
Traitors shall not meet a good end!
But this person is no ordinary person; he is the former crown prince, the emperor's own son.
Even if Xu Liang was unwilling to accept this identity, he could only spare his life for the time being.
He believed that the emperor would give the people of the whole country an explanation!
Traitors will not die a good death—these are the words shouted by countless soldiers on the frontier!
"I...I didn't..."
Ouyang Fu lowered his head, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. It was all Ouyang Zhen's fault; if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have taken the risk and reached an agreement with the people of Xiyao Kingdom.
Now that he is trapped and a prisoner, his only hope is that his mother can help him find a way to escape.
Returning to the position of Crown Prince? It's not impossible, unless he leads a rebellion!
Ouyang Fu's eyes turned cold. If there was really no other way, he had no choice but to do this in order to survive.
Han Yuchen didn't come over; he couldn't wait to resolve things here and return to Beijing immediately.
