Chapter 496
"Your Majesty, how long have I been unconscious?"
"It should have been five hours, right?"
Five hours?
It's been such a long time!
It must be early morning of the second day outside now.
Why haven't the Moon Shadow Guards arrived yet?
The regent frowned, increasingly dissatisfied with his personal guard.
Wen Xin wiped his face with her sleeve and smiled as she defended the Moon Shadow Guards, saying, "It's probably very chaotic outside. The Moon Shadow Guards are worried about our safety, so it's understandable that they're hesitant to act."
The Regent gently stroked the girl's fair face, "It is your humble servant's fault for failing to protect Your Majesty."
Wen Xin scolded him, "You almost lost your life protecting me, and you call that not protecting me well?"
The Regent still felt guilty, "If I had discovered those assassins sooner, how could Your Majesty have fallen into such a predicament?"
She was the most noble emperor in Fengyuan, yet now she had to condescend to this filthy place, without food or water, and still have to take care of him...
The thought of it made his heart clench.
She was meant to be dressed in fine clothes and enjoy all the best things in the world forever, and no dust should ever touch her.
Wen Xin's fingers touched his thin lips. "Your Highness, do we still need to be so clear about who we are?"
The Regent looked at the girl in front of him, who was smiling so brightly, and his heart warmed. He couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his arms.
Wen Xin quickly said, "Be careful of your wound."
The Regent chuckled softly: "Your Majesty, I am thick-skinned and tough."
The young empress scoffed, "If I'm not worried about you, who else am I worried about?"
His eyes were filled with a warm smile, but before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a series of "mmm" sounds.
The regent's expression changed slightly, and a murderous intent emanated from his body.
He held her tightly in his arms, raised his hand and sucked the knife from the ground into his palm, his murderous aura striking at the other living person in the tomb.
"wait……"
If the red rope hadn't acted swiftly to pull the person away, the person bound and thrown on the ground would have been cleaved in two by the Regent.
The male homeowner is really vicious, I'm scared~
Little Jin rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. She wondered who was so quick to cut living things into pieces.
Who is more ruthless?
"one time."
Wen Xin finished speaking, not expecting her prince to act so ruthlessly and quickly, completely disregarding who the other party was.
It was as if he would eliminate anyone who threatened her safety without hesitation.
Of course, the one who was most frightened was a certain unlucky guy who was almost split in two!
"So it was my father."
Only after the regent finished chopping did he look at the people on the ground.
However, he showed no fear or guilt at nearly killing his father, and spoke in a cold tone as if the other person was not his biological father, but his father's killer.
Wen Xin was completely unable to remain calm.
Father?
Wait, wait, shouldn't His Highness's father be the Prince Consort of Zhennan?
How could it be the leader of that evil cult, the Heaven and Earth Society!
Wen Xin gripped the Regent's hand, clinging to her last glimmer of hope, "Your Highness, could this thief have disguised himself as the Prince of Zhennan's consort?"
The Regent lowered his eyes. "No, he is the Prince Consort of Zhennan."
Wen Xin: "..."
Your Highness, look into my eyes! Speak boldly and I will believe you!
Is it possible to turn back time?
She swore she would secretly have Honghong coerce or entice her into getting the antidote directly.
Then throw this guy away instead of bringing him to His Highness; that way, we won't need to open the dungeon.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
The Empress, who was so lazy she was practically bursting with juice, had no choice but to bravely (miserably) get up and get to work.
It's just a two-hundred-year-old copy, isn't it?
I can do it!
The Prince of Zhennan's mouth was still gagged, but his eyes were filled with disgust, anger, and mockery as he looked at the Regent, as if he were laughing at him: Look, this is the disgusting Fengyuan royal family, playing with emotions, insidious and despicable, with only their own interests on their minds.
Do you really think she loves you?
Ah, the Wen family are all heartless and ungrateful people.
The Regent's expression remained calm; he showed no anger despite the look in the eyes of the Prince of Zhennan.
But Wen Xin got angry and snorted, "Your Highness, this person is definitely not your biological father."
Otherwise, he's a terrible father.
What's the use of having a father like that?
The Prince of Zhennan glared at Wen Xin with hatred, wishing he could pounce on her and tear her apart.
Those shameless traitors, the Wen family, shall all die a horrible death! They shall all die a horrible death!
The Regent blocked the young Empress's path and said coldly, "Father, do you want the entire Heaven and Earth Society to die without a trace after you are gone?"
He didn't care what the Prince Consort of Zhennan thought of him, but he wouldn't allow anyone to disrespect his young emperor.
The Prince of Zhennan's eyes widened, filled with hatred and fear.
He knew that his cold-blooded son was a man of his word, and that he had long since become a lackey of the Wen family.
But why?
In his furious struggle, the cloth in Zhennan Wangfu fell out of his mouth, and he immediately began to curse sharply.
"Fu Chuxue, you beast who betrayed your ancestors, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Wen Xin rolled her eyes. "You big beast, if anyone's going to be attacked, it'll be you first."
The Prince of Zhennan glared at Wen Xin and said, "Shut up, you bastard of the Wen family."
Wen Xin squeezed the Regent's hand, telling him to calm down and not to get sick over a simpleton; she felt sorry for him.
The Regent looked down at the young Empress, a tender look flashing in his eyes.
Wen Xin gave the Prince Consort of Zhennan a noble and aloof smile, "I'm sorry, but the Wen family is now the most noble royal family in this land, while I am the ruler of the world, the supreme emperor."
Only the one who's shameless knows!
The Prince Consort of Zhennan's face twisted in anger. "What is there to be proud of, you usurper?"
Wen Xin chuckled: "As if the Azure Dragon Dynasty didn't seize the throne from another royal family?"
Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?
Throughout history, when has the world ever been a place where the most powerful person rises to the top?
Does conquering a kingdom necessarily mean it has to be the Azure Dragon Dynasty?
Where's your face?
The Prince of Zhennan was so choked that his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth, "The Wen family is a bunch of despicable villains."
Wen Xin chuckled sarcastically, "Oh, you make it sound like you're so righteous. I wonder who created the plague for their own selfish gain back then, killing countless people. Tsk tsk, you're so upright, kind, and righteous, even heaven should award you a banner."
Prince Zhennan's husband: "..."
Wen Xin crossed her arms and looked down at him condescendingly, "In the end, it's all about power. Who's more noble than whom? You're useless, you can't fight against the Wen royal family, who's to blame? Is it because my ancestors didn't go easy on you?"
Prince Zhennan's husband: "..."
You sharp-tongued little bitch!
His chest heaved violently, clearly enraged by Wen Xin. Suddenly, he let out a cold, cackling laugh.
"You already know that I am the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society and a descendant of the Azure Dragon royal family. So, your regent is my son. Who do you think he is?"
"Oh, right, you didn't know that? He's a man! A lowly, restless man!"
