Behind an unnoticed rockery, the two couldn't help but hug each other affectionately.
"Master Shi...will you regret eloping with me?"
Xia Qinghe suddenly raised her head, looked at Shi Hezhang and asked slowly.
"Are you still calling me Master Shi?"
Shi Hezhang hugged the woman in his arms slightly with his right arm, with a teasing look on his face.
"Husband...husband!"
Xia Qinghe's face turned slightly red, she nodded and lowered her brows, and couldn't help but move a little closer to Shi Hezhang's arms.
"Why should I regret it? Since you've given up your status as Prince Ning's favorite concubine for me, I'm naturally willing to live with you. Don't you understand my feelings even now?"
Shi Hezhang hugged Xia Qinghe tightly, feeling the shyness from the beauty in his arms, he immediately responded without thinking.
"Humph! You still care about the fact that I served that old man, Prince Ning, right? I know you despise the fact that I'm not a virgin, but a mature woman who's been touched by someone before."
Xia Qinghe didn't know what words annoyed her, and she quickly broke free from Shi Hezhang's arms. Then she turned to the side, curled her lips, and said with a little anger.
"What are you talking about? You don't despise my body as a male prostitute, how could I be so stupid as to despise you?"
Shi Hezhang held the hand tightly in his hand and looked at Xia Qinghe with loving eyes, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I know there's a dog hole behind the big tree at the back corner gate. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, I'll take you out of the palace from there."
"Well! Husband, it's fate that we met. Qinghe is already extremely satisfied to be able to live with you in this life!"
The passionate love made Xia Qinghe a little drunk.
Shi Hezhang felt Xia Qinghe's excitement in his arms, and he couldn't help but use some strength in his right arm to hold Xia Qinghe tighter.
At this moment, Xia Qinghe felt the tightness of his body, and her cheeks pressed against his broad chest turned a little redder.
"A few of you search along the bank to prevent them from jumping into the river and escaping. The rest of you follow me closely!"
"yes!"
Just when they were being affectionate with each other, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from not far away, and the brief warmth between them was completely destroyed.
"Husband, someone is coming! What should I do?"
Xia Qinghe frowned and looked towards the noisy sound coming from not far away.
"Don't be afraid! Don't make any noise. He must be looking for someone passing by. Let's take a look at the situation first!"
Shi Hezhang signaled Xia Qinghe with his eyes, then looked in the direction where the voice came from.
But soon, the footsteps came from behind the rockery.
Xia Qinghe was extremely frightened. She picked up the underwear at her feet with trembling hands and covered herself with it in a panic.
But before she could put on her clothes, she heard the King of Ning's angry shout: "Bitch! How dare you secretly have an affair with each other?!"
Xia Qinghe looked up in panic and stood still as if frozen in ice.
I saw a naked man and woman hiding behind a rockery.
Prince Ning was immediately furious. He rushed over and kicked Shi Hezhang away. He then waved his hand and slapped Xia Qinghe in the face, scolding her, "Bitch! I've treated you well, and you dare let me be a coward?!"
A slap in the face caused Xia Qinghe to fall to the ground instantly, with bright red blood oozing out from the corner of her lips.
Xia Qinghe covered half of her face and did not retreat. She just raised her head and looked at King Ning hatefully with a happy smile.
"You treat me well? You just treat me as a toy for entertainment! How can you have any true feelings for me?"
"truth?"
Prince Ning sneered, a faint light emanating from his eyes as he looked at Xia Qinghe. His voice was as cold and vicious as if it came from hell.
"Since you two are truly in love, I will grant your wish. We will be a pair of lovebirds even if we die!"
"It's unfair, Your Majesty! I am wronged!"
Shi Hezhang crawled forward two steps on his knees, grabbed Prince Ning's trouser legs, and trembled as he begged for mercy: "Prince, I will never dare to do it again. I don't want to die! Please, Prince, spare me!"
Then, he pointed at Xia Qinghe and shouted, "It was this woman. This woman was unfaithful to you. She seduced me! You are the only one in my heart, Your Highness. I am still your obedient dog!"
Seeing him in such a miserable state, Xia Qinghe was shocked and then slowly closed her eyes in despair.
Prince Ning stared down at Shi Hezhang in front of him, his eyes filled with wild emotions and dark aura, as if a violent storm was brewing.
"This king will first teach you the rules of being a human being!"
He didn't even let Shi Hezhang finish his words before kicking him to the ground and beating him hard. Soon, he had a black eye and a swollen face, and was screaming in pain!
"Take him away and kill him!"
After venting his anger, King Ning twisted his wrist, looked down at Shi Hezhang, and said something with a chilling tone that made Shi Hezhang's face turn pale.
"No, Your Majesty! Please spare me, Your Majesty, please let me go..."
Shi Hezhang's eyes were filled with fear. When he was dragged away, he was so frightened that he became incontinent and peed all over the floor.
After Shi Hezhang was dragged away, King Ning turned around and looked at Xia Qinghe with a terrifying look of rage.
He said harshly, word by word: "Xia Qinghe, you want to leave? Don't even think about it! Even if you die, you have to die with me in this Prince Ning's Mansion!"
"Someone, come! Drag her away and lock her up! She'll be able to entertain the brothers trapped in the mansion in the future!"
He called out and turned to leave.
But the moment he turned around, Xia Qinghe suddenly took out a dagger hidden in her skirt with one hand, then she jumped up and stabbed it straight into King Ning's neck from behind.
"ah!!!"
Prince Ning painfully pushed Xia Qinghe away with his back, then covered his neck and slowly turned around, looking at Xia Qinghe in disbelief.
Prince Ning opened his eyes wide, but only saw Xia Qinghe's gloomy smile.
She smiled morbidly, and her messy bangs covered her indescribable eyes, but it still couldn't hide the dangerous light in her eyes.
"How dare you decide my fate? Hahaha... I'm the only one in this world who has that qualification! Only I am worthy of deciding what I should do!"
"you……!"
Plop—Prince Ning fell down.
When he fell, his eyes were still wide open and his mouth could not close.
He still couldn't understand why he, a noble prince, wanted to kill him? How did he get to this point?
There was only a sick light in Xia Qinghe's eyes, and her crazy eyes were full of smiles at this moment.
"Oh, you got it for free! I've been hiding this knife for so long, intending to use it for self-defense when I leave with Shi Hezhang! What a pity..."
Xia Qinghe picked up the dagger and cut a bloody mark on her neck.
She hissed in pain and her pupils widened. Tears were almost coming out of her eyes, and tears kept welling up in her beautiful eyes.
But there was still that mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth, and she gritted her teeth and persisted in swiping it down with force.
Soon, she fell to the ground, and a pool of blood slowly formed under her.
"Someone, someone, someone, come quickly! Prince Ning is dead! Concubine Xia is dead! Everyone is dead!!"
The yard was in chaos.
