“The Third Prince is very fond of this maid named Su Yan. He doesn’t even care about the death of his own maid.”
Xuanyuan Yonghao looked up and met Xuanyuan Yonglin's gaze.
"Your Majesty, such a thing has happened in the courtyard, and I am unable to entertain you any longer. Please forgive me."
Xuanyuan Yonglin smiled, exuding a composed and mature air.
"Third Prince, are you sure you don't want my help?"
He paused.
"I heard that my younger brother was bitten by a poisonous snake a few days ago. Now that snake has come out again and bit this maid named Qiushi, but it didn't bite Su Yan, who was entangled with her. There is a poisonous snake lurking in my third brother's courtyard. Perhaps... that snake was ordered by Su Yan."
His words were veiled sarcasm, mocking the fact that the residence of the third prince of the prestigious Xuanyuan Kingdom could allow a venomous snake to run rampant for so long.
After saying that, Xuanyuan Yonglin laughed heartily and turned to leave.
Just as Xuanyuan Yonglin left, on the other side, Nan Tang suddenly flew out of the side hall and fell to the ground.
He clutched his chest with one hand, his face showing surprise.
He flew out and smashed the side hall door to pieces.
Xuanyuan Yonghao glanced at it with his dark eyes, then strode towards the side hall.
By the time he got closer, Nan Tang had already stood up from the ground.
The palace maids in the courtyard had all been dismissed by the matron.
Nan Tang, clutching his chest, walked to Xuan Yuan Yong Hao's side, his breathing unsteady.
"Your Highness, you must not approach!"
Xuanyuan Yonghao did not answer, but only asked a question.
"Is she inside?"
"yes"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Southern Tang wanted to stop His Highness again, but saw that His Highness had already stepped inside.
The side hall was pitch black, with only a faint light from outside allowing one to see the furnishings and decorations inside.
In one corner of the room, his gaze fell upon a figure that was almost curled up into a ball.
Wrapped in a quilt, squatting in the corner.
He walked over, but before he had taken two steps, he heard the girl with her head bowed speak in a slow, indifferent tone.
"Get away from me, or I'll kill you."
The voice was soft, simply stating a fact.
But as soon as she finished speaking, someone walked up to her, their voice gentle and smiling.
"You want to kill me?"
Su Yan frowned upon hearing the voice, finding it familiar. Compared to the voices of others that irritated her, this person's voice seemed less irritating and less likely to evoke murderous intent.
However, she did not want to see anyone at this time.
She raised her head, staring straight at him, about to speak.
Suddenly, the man pressed down on her and grabbed her in a hug.
"What happened?"
"Were you bullied?"
"Who did this?"
Why do I feel so cold?
She was given no chance to refute whatsoever before the words were uttered.
Then, she was tightly embraced by someone.
His features were harmless yet cool, and his eyes gazed at her with a deep, unfathomable look.
It was as if those eyes held only her.
Mingming's words were making her extremely irritated, and her mind was buzzing.
She hesitated to make a move, only frowning slightly.
"Stay away from me."
Xuanyuan Yonghao seemed not to understand her words, his words like a snake coiling around a stick, his red lips and white teeth giving him an innocent appearance.
"Didn't you say you would protect me?"
Then he hugged her even tighter.
Su Yan remained motionless, but her furrowed brows never faded.
Suddenly, she felt a warm kiss on her lips, a kiss that was very gentle, as gentle as water.
However, the rain outside was pouring down even harder.
She took a big bite, her mouth filled with the taste of blood, and struggled to push him down.
