After hearing He Xue's words, the Eighth Prince sat down next to her. "He Xue, for now, I can only ask you to stay here."
I believe the Crown Prince will announce your passing soon.
"Once I ascend to the throne as Crown Prince, I will surely bring you back to the capital in great style!"
"You are already married, I will not become a concubine!"
"How could I possibly wrong you!" The Eighth Prince turned to look at He Xue and said, "You will be my wife!"
He Xue, I told you before, marrying Tana was not my own intention; it was entirely due to the Emperor's decree. I have never cared about her!
"You're the only one in my heart!" the Eighth Prince said affectionately to He Xue.
"What a scumbag!" He Xue felt disgusted by the Eighth Prince.
"Eighth Prince, doing this will only put me in the spotlight!"
"If the Emperor finds out, he won't do anything to you, but I certainly won't have a good end!"
"He Xue, no, I promised to protect you, and I will!" the Eighth Prince assured him.
"Eighth Prince, what is it about me that you like? I'll change, okay?" He Xue pleaded. "Eighth Prince, for the sake of our childhood friendship, please let me leave."
"He Xue, stop struggling. I went to great lengths to bring you here, how could I let you leave so easily!"
It's because of the affection I had as a child that I've tried everything to keep you by my side!
Suddenly, the Eighth Prince smiled and said, "He Xue, what do you think the Crown Prince would do if he found out that the person he married wasn't you?"
"Who did you arrange for the Crown Prince?" He Xue asked.
“Ulanara Rouze!” the Eighth Prince said.
If it weren't for the Eighth Prince mentioning it, He Xue would have almost forgotten about this person. The main reason is that she hadn't heard any news about Rou Ze all these years, so how did Rou Ze get in touch with the Eighth Prince?
"Do you remember her? She was very fond of the Crown Prince back then. I'm just doing her a favor!"
"Do you know where I met Ulanara Rouze?" the Eighth Prince asked.
The Eighth Prince did not wait for He Xue's reply, but continued, "A temple, because she had spread rumors about you, the Crown Prince sent her to the temple after he found out!"
"He Xue, you see, this is something only those with power can do. Only with supreme power can one protect those they want to protect. That's why I will definitely become the Crown Prince for your sake!"
"You have your own ambitions, don't use my name to justify them, I can't bear that!" The Eighth Prince was clearly the one who was restless, but he acted as if it was for her sake, which made Xue feel deeply ashamed.
"He Xue, what you're saying really hurts me! Everything I do is for you!"
It's okay. In time, you'll understand my feelings. I truly like you!
"He Xue, we've already drunk the nuptial wine, and now it's time for our wedding night!" the Eighth Prince said to He Xue.
He Xue looked at the Eighth Prince with some panic, "Eighth Prince, I'm hungry, can I eat something first?"
"Really?" the Eighth Prince asked. "He Xue, are you sure you're not just stalling for time while waiting for the Crown Prince to arrive?"
I can tell you definitively that even if the Crown Prince discovers it wasn't you, it will be too late for him!
"He Xue, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, let's not waste any more time!"
He Xue tried to stand up, but found that she had no strength left at all.
The Eighth Prince removed the phoenix crown from He Xue's head, looked at the wedding dress on He Xue's body, and tore it to shreds with force. "He Xue, I will give you an even more magnificent wedding dress in the future!"
He Xue closed her eyes and refused to look at the Eighth Prince, who gently kissed her lips.
The Eighth Prince gently placed He Xue on the bed, and He Xue's tears flowed uncontrollably.
