He tried to reason with Cheng Xianyi, explaining the situation and the future.
He gave all the reasons he could get Cheng Xianyi: "Okay, okay, Xianyi, I won't talk to you about these things."
"The current situation is that the Zhou family is plotting a rebellion. Zhou Cheng has led more than 20 people to escape from the capital, hoping to join forces with Zhou Zhenguang."
“Zhou Cheng cannot escape. Father has already set up an ambush along the way. Zhou Zhenguang cannot rebel either, because all official and merchant roads near Jiangling City have been blocked. The 130,000 troops will surely starve to death.”
"Zhou Cheng will die on the way, Zhou Zhenguang and the others will die this winter, and you and Zhou Cheng will not have a future together."
"Listen to me, okay? Come with me. I won't let Father hurt you. I will protect you and guard you for the rest of my life. As for Grand Tutor Cheng, I have already arranged for people to bring him back."
Speaking of this,
The prince reached his hand through the carriage window.
It hovered in mid-air in front of Cheng Xianyi.
With a pleading and anxious look in his eyes, he said, "Xianyi, come with me. Zhou Cheng can't defeat Father Emperor. From now on, I will give you a life of wealth and honor. Give me your hand..."
Cheng Xianyi raised her eyes, glanced indifferently at the Crown Prince's suspended hand, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
In short.
Five words.
The prince's face drained of all color from the impact.
It perfectly embodies the meaning of unwavering devotion until death: "I can't live without him."
Ziyan listened to the entire conversation with trepidation.
Following Cheng Xianyi's instructions, she suppressed the myriad questions in her mind and quickly drove the carriage away.
The prince stood at the alley entrance, watching helplessly as the carriage drove away. He tried to grasp something, but realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hold onto the one he loved...
He asked his elder sister to break up the marriage between the two, but he failed.
He tried to force Grand Tutor Cheng to annul the engagement in the main hall, but failed.
He disregarded his dignity and pride to confess his true feelings to her, but he failed.
But the crown prince was unwilling to accept it!
The dark, twisted humanity hidden deep within his heart broke free, and all the gentle and sorrowful emotions on his face vanished, replaced by a gloomy and determined expression: "She is mine."
"It can only be mine!"
"Stop her!"
The guards behind him moved at the command.
Dozens of men armed with knives rushed forward and surrounded Cheng Xianyi's carriage.
The Crown Prince took a step forward and stood firmly in front of Cheng Xianyi again. This time, there was no negotiation or pleading in his eyes, only a twisted love: "Xianyi, I will ask you one last time."
"You chose Zhou Cheng, who was destined to lose."
"Or will you choose to follow me and enjoy wealth and luxury?!"
See here.
Cheng Xianyi suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.
This was the first time she smiled at him, and her smile was radiant.
She glanced at him with her beautiful eyes half-closed, meeting his gaze without fear, and said, "I can't live without him."
"Does Your Highness think that with your limited manpower you can stop me from going to him? Are you too confident in yourself, or do you really think that because I am so docile and considerate in front of A-Cheng, I am truly powerless?"
Lodo.
What does she mean?
A strange sense of foreboding welled up in the Crown Prince's heart.
The next second.
He heard the most soul-stirring words of his life!
The person, so close yet seemingly forever out of reach, said indifferently, "Do you want to become the second Fourth Prince?"
It's her!
The fourth prince was murdered in the middle of the night, his tongue cut out and tendons severed. Several guards died tragically without even seeing what the perpetrator looked like!
