January 15th.
Charles was imprisoned because there was clear evidence that he was suspected of murdering the Crown Prince and was executed five days later.
Earl Chase was stripped of his title due to his involvement and voluntarily handed over all the assets managed by his men.
At the moment when Mil's head fell to the ground, his eyes were still on Ruan Ruan. His eyes were so gentle and full of love.
Xili lowered her eyes and silently stood in front of Ruan Ruan.
Denis undoubtedly became the new crown prince.
Ruan Ruan looked at Mil's body with disdain, turned around and left.
In the dark prison, Charles was interrogated again and again, but he refused to give up Ruan Ruan. He knew that the evidence was conclusive, so he insisted that he asked Mil to assassinate Kenneth out of jealousy.
Crunch...
The chains swayed, and Charles looked up expectantly, but he didn't see the person he was thinking about.
"This is a high-security prison... How did she get in?"
“It’s okay if you don’t come… It’s okay if you don’t come…”
Charles muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a chuckle sounded in the dim cell.
Charles was stunned when a golden shadow appeared in his sight.
This is a young and handsome man.
The guard seemed not to see the man and continued to stand guard.
"Do you want to know why Mir suddenly betrayed you?"
The golden shadow's voice was filled with smile.
Charles looked at the other person warily without saying anything.
"Ruan Ruan tells you, if you want the royal family to not be able to find you after Mil assassinated Kenneth... you must destroy all evidence."
"So you killed Mir's mother."
"To ensure that Mir couldn't know, you did it yourself without asking anyone else to do it."
The shadow chuckled, he bent down, and the corners of his mouth curved: "And Ruan Ruan told Mir about this."
Charles' pupils shrank and his body began to tremble violently with suspicion and anger, but reason made him remain calm and listen quietly.
"This is the first reason why Mir betrayed you."
The shadow slowly raised a second finger: "The second reason."
"Mil has been hooking up with Ruan Ruan for a long time."
"Mil was your shadow. Every time you dated Ruan Ruan, he was there. He fell in love with Ruan Ruan. Originally, he planned to continue loving her silently like this and help you two be together."
Seeing Charles trembling violently, the shadow smiled more obviously: "But... last time, you almost strangled Ruan Ruan to death."
"Ruan Ruan also found Mir privately. She said she wanted to leave you, but was afraid you would hurt her again, so she was forced to live in the shadow of your deformed love."
"Mildo felt distressed. Seeing Ruan Ruan's frightened expression, he gradually began to think about taking her away."
"But he can't leave, because he is your dependent, your servant. As long as the contract is in place, he can't leave."
"Until one day, you found him and asked him to help you accomplish something, that is, to assassinate the crown prince."
The shadow scoffed, "I guess you didn't completely believe what I said... but after hearing what I'm going to say next, you will believe it."
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ruan Ruan found you. She said she didn't want to marry Kenneth, but because the queen forced her, she had to."
"And you're not that stupid. After learning about your life story, you went to the queen to verify it and begged her to give Ruan Ruan to you."
"Unfortunately, the Queen prefers Kenneth, a son who comes from a normal family and has been raised by her side since childhood."
"So the queen rejected you."
"You began to feel jealous and hateful, so at Ruan Ruan's suggestion, you planned to have your most trusted shadow assassinate Kenneth."
"Because you know that the Queen values wealth. Once Kenneth dies, Dennis will be the next in line."
"The Queen hates Dennis and his mother so much that she won't tolerate Dennis ascending to the throne. And you, at this moment, stand up and find the Queen, hoping to ascend the throne by relying on the fact that you are the Queen's child."
Charles turned pale.
Only Ruan Ruan and he knew about these plans. How could this person know?
It seems that what he said was true. Ruan Ruan...has been using him and betraying him!
"The plan is actually very good. If Mil hadn't betrayed you, with Kenneth's death, the Queen would definitely have found a way to put you on the throne for her status."
"Unfortunately, everything you guys did was part of Ruan Ruan's plan."
Looking at Charles's trembling teeth, the shadow chuckled: "You were deceived by her."
"You tell me this, what do you want me to do?"
Charles' voice was hoarse and his expression was frantic.
"I don't need you to do anything, I just want you to see clearly who Ruan Ruan really is."
"As a god... I simply... have mercy on you."
There was endless compassion in the shadow's voice.
"I'll help you leave and get a new life, okay?"
"OK."
Ruan Ruan was not present on the day Charles was executed.
I only heard from Celie that Charles had been tortured to insanity in prison and was still laughing when he was hanged.
Ruan Ruan chuckled: "Look, if we deal with it this way, isn't it clean now?"
Xili lowered her eyes: "You did all this... for Lord Dennis?"
Ruan Ruan paused and did not answer.
She only knew that once Kenneth came to power, the Queen would not let Dennis go.
What she was about to do next would be very dangerous. By then, Dennis would be attacked by the queen and she would be too busy to handle the situation.
Ruan Ruan gradually stopped stirring the scented tea. She looked at the cute white cat in the cage and pursed her lips. "Send it to Dennis and tell him...it's a gift from me to him as the crown prince..."
Xili was stunned: "You... aren't you going to deliver it yourself?"
Ruan Ruan didn't answer.
Xili picked up the beautiful little white cat and said, "My lord, this cat was chosen by you personally. It is closer to you. You should go and give it to me."
……………………
In the greenhouse garden.
Dennis sat alone among the flowers, looking much thinner.
The footsteps slowly approached, Dennis's eyelashes trembled, and he looked over.
Ruan Ruan walked in, wrapped in a soft blanket, with a docile and cute little white cat.
Dennis looked away and continued to stare at his fingers.
"Crown Prince, this is my gift to you."
Ruan Ruan pursed her lips and put the little white cat in her arms into Dennis's arms.
As she got closer, Ruan Ruan's fingers accidentally touched Dennis's cold fingers.
"Dennis, are you cold?"
Ruan Ruan frowned.
Dennis didn't answer. The kitten in his arms seemed to be particularly attached to Ruan Ruan. It curled up in the blanket and kept looking at Ruan Ruan.
Seeing the little white cat crawling out of the blanket, shivering with cold, Dennis finally reached out slowly and put his arms around the kitten.
A warm cloak also fell on his shoulders, carrying the warmth of Ruan Ruan's body and the fragrance of gardenia.
Dennis pursed his lips, raised his eyes, looked at Ruan Ruan, and said indifferently: "We have nothing to do with each other for a long time, right?"
Ruan Ruan didn't answer, but just smiled: "The kitten's name is Pearl, okay?"
