Chapter 405
Xie Linyang stepped forward, about to press for answers, but Rong Rong spoke first.
"I heard that your successful rebellion back then was entirely due to Prince Yi's help?"
Xie Linyang's expression hardened, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "How do you know him?"
Rong Rong smiled as she stood up, then spun around and leaned against the soft couch. "Who doesn't know Prince Yi, who is second only to the emperor?"
Xie Linyang clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
If he had previously regarded Zhu Mingsi as a thorn in his side, now that Rong Rong mentioned him, Xie Linyang wished he could kill Zhu Mingsi.
"Oh? By the way, I heard he's your strategist?" Rong Rong suddenly sat up curiously, a hint of longing on her face. "Then he must be refined and intelligent, right?"
"Like Lord Zhuge, the strategist? The embodiment of wisdom?"
"He's just a lowly, uncultured man." Xie Linyang sneered, his voice still hoarse. He turned and sat down next to Rong Rong, pulling her into his arms.
Rong Rong was delicate and boneless, leaning lazily against Xie Linyang's chest, exuding charm and captivating allure. Soon, Xie Linyang forgot what had happened before.
“We won’t talk about him.” Xie Linyang stroked Rong Rong’s exposed arm. It was silky smooth and cool to the touch, like the finest jade, with an exquisite and addictive feel.
Xie Linyang felt it wasn't enough; he wanted more and wished he could stick his whole body to her. He eagerly leaned in to kiss her, but Rong Rong suddenly pulled her arm away.
"Why not talk to him? Without him, my father and mother would not have died, and I would not have ended up in Jishan Village."
As Rong Rong spoke, her voice trembled with tears, and Xie Linyang froze, as if his body had been frozen in place.
"I want to know him, understand him, and meet him to see who has wronged me so badly?"
Tears finally slid down his cheeks and dripped onto Xie Linyang's hand, burning his heart.
Xie Linyang was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe. Rong Rong seemed to be talking about Zhu Mingsi, but wasn't she also talking about him?
So Rongrong still hates him. How can he get Rongrong to forgive him?
Is it impossible for him and Rong Rong to ever be together?
But he was the emperor.
The world belongs to him, and Rong Rong should also belong to him. Even if he can't win Rong Rong's heart, he can still have Rong Rong's body.
Even if Rong Rong's heart is his, it will belong to him sooner or later!
Thinking this, Xie Linyang's hand slid from Rong Rong's arm to her shoulder, and he kissed Rong Rong's skin gently and repeatedly.
Rong Rong did not resist, but only said hatefully, "I'm going to kill him!"
"Brother Linyang."
The call seemed to transcend time, and in a daze, Xie Linyang seemed to return to the time when he first met Rong Rong a few years ago.
At that time, he did not know that Rongrong was Princess Zhaohua, nor did Rongrong know that he was the heir of a marquis's family.
Rong Rong was playful and adorable, and he took her to stroll through the bustling streets of the capital.
Rongrong would happily call him Brother Linyang and beg him to buy her her favorite little trinkets.
He knew that Rongrong was the daughter of a wealthy family and didn't lack money, but he really liked the feeling of being relied on and pampered.
Sweet and blissful.
He was scolded for being unreliable and useless since he was a child, and no one had ever relied on him like this before. He was addicted to this feeling and liked to pamper Rong Rong.
Even after their identities were revealed, Rong Rong still clung to him, but things were different now; Rong Rong was the ruler and he was the subject.
Now, that feeling of happiness seemed to have returned, and Xie Linyang's breath hitched, his body tensing.
Finally, he replied in a low voice, "Okay."
"Hurry!"
"good!"
"Tomorrow!"
"good!"
......
Xie Linyang had no idea what he was saying; he was completely out of his mind.
If he could kill Zhu Mingsi, he would have done so long ago. Not only was Zhu Mingsi a powerful figure in the court, but he also needed Zhu Mingsi to restrain the powerful families of the previous dynasty.
But now he's disregarding everything, including the stability of the court.
He simply kept agreeing with Rong Rong.
He's going to kill Zhu Mingsi, immediately! Right now!
As long as Rong Rong doesn't fall in love with Zhu Mingsi, he'll do whatever Rong Rong wants and listen to her!
Rong Rong smiled radiantly, like a child whose wish had been fulfilled.
Simple and pure, who would have thought that her wish was to kill someone?
Xie Linyang was once again captivated. He stared at Rong Rong intently and unconsciously leaned towards her.
However, Rong Rong took the initiative and kissed his cheek with her red lips.
Next comes the chin, ears, neck, and chest.
It felt like a feather brushing against Xie Linyang's body, a tingling sensation that gave him goosebumps.
He desperately wanted more, but he couldn't bear to disturb Rong Rong or interrupt the feeling he was experiencing.
It was rare for Rong Rong to be so proactive; this was the first time Rong Rong had ever taken the initiative like this.
Was it because he was willing to kill Zhu Mingsi?
That's great!
Xie Linyang was so intoxicated and dazed that he no longer knew where he was.
It wasn't until he was locked out that a night wind blew by, making him shiver involuntarily, and his mind finally cleared up.
He shook his head and chuckled, knowing that he had been tricked by Rong Rong again. Rong Rong still refused to accept him and was unwilling to truly be his woman until now.
But their relationship has made some progress.
Rong Rong was much more proactive today, which was a big improvement from her previous coldness and aloofness.
He believed that if this continued, Rong Rong would eventually open her heart to him, as long as he unconditionally satisfied her needs.
Yes! Kill Zhu Mingsi!
Xie Linyang's whole being screamed this sentence: If he brought Zhu Mingsi's head to see Rong Rong, would Rong Rong happily accept him on the spot?
Yes, it will! It definitely will!
Xie Linyang was filled with excitement and turned to leave.
Before dawn, assassins broke into Prince Yi's mansion.
Although they were called assassins, everyone could tell that the people who came were Xuanjia Guards. Emperor Jianyuan was no longer hiding, or perhaps he was certain that he could kill Prince Yi today.
However, no one expected that Prince Yi had a secret guard whose strength was no less than that of the Xuanjia Guard.
Prince Yi did not die, but he was seriously injured.
The battle at Prince Yi's residence that night was extremely fierce.
Zhu Mingsi's body was wrapped in thick bandages, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood.
He leaned against the headboard, his expression unreadable.
He never expected Xie Linyang to take action directly. Why?
Did they realize that the shadowy figure hiding in the tree during the day was him? Or did Princess Zhaohua say something?
Zhu Mingsi smiled slightly, his face full of wicked charm.
He hadn't expected Princess Zhaohua to be such a vengeful little wildcat. It was also his fault for forgetting that he was also the little wildcat's father's killer.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a bad move, trying to bypass Su Yanqiu and cooperate directly with Princess Zhaohua. He had underestimated Princess Zhaohua's charm.
Did he really not know that Princess Zhaohua would hate him before? Of course he knew.
He simply felt that Princess Zhaohua was too weak, and that the other party's hatred wouldn't have any effect.
He thought he had everything under control, and that Princess Zhaohua had no other choice but to seek his help. Little did he know that if Princess Zhaohua wanted to go mad, the whole world would make way for her.
Zhu Mingsi burst into laughter, his body trembling. The wound that had just stopped bleeding started to bleed again, and in the blink of an eye, the bandage was stained red with blood.
Zhu Mingsi's face paled even more, yet he was filled with excitement.
It seems that his cooperation with Princess Zhaohua is simply impossible.
Then we can only rely on our own strength. He will not be as humble and cowardly as Xie Linyang!
