Two maids were helping Xiao Li wipe her hair when Hongyue came in to report, "Princess, the Prince Consort is back."
Xiao Li raised his hand to stroke his temple and paused, his eyes becoming cold.
"My dear Prince Consort..." She slowly picked up the comb to separate the drooping hair, and slightly closed her long eyelashes to cover the bloodthirsty malice.
Although she was originally a princess, her biological mother was of low status and not capable enough, so she died early in the cannibalistic palace.
Because she was the first daughter, the late emperor showed her favor and let her be fostered under the name of the empress.
Although he seemed to have a noble status, he was just living under someone else's roof, being looked down upon, and had to cautiously please the queen and survive in a humbly manner.
After her brother ascended the throne, she was immediately used as a pawn for marriage alliance and to contain the civil service family.
The son-in-law is the second son of the Lu family, a prestigious aristocratic family. He is a nobleman, well-read, and a handsome man of first-class appearance. Although he comes from a noble family, he does not have the impetuousness and arrogance of those sons of powerful people.
He is indifferent to fame and fortune and has a noble demeanor, making him the dream lover of many young ladies.
If the Lu family had not had a daughter of the right age to enter the palace, and the new emperor wanted to restrain the civil servant Lu family, such a man would never have been her turn, as a princess with a humble mother and a cowardly character.
It was natural for the original body to like such an outstanding man. Even though he was cold and indifferent, with no desires or demands, she still tried to impress him and wanted to be a real couple with him.
However, my humble prayers could not warm the heart of the prince consort, which had long been promised to someone else.
When she was drunk, she tried to seduce the prince consort to consummate their marriage, but the prince consort threw her to a guard who coveted her, and she was raped and became pregnant.
After she lost her virginity, she started to go crazy, not towards others, but torturing herself. She kept bathing and washing herself, scratching herself all over, but buckets of blood could not wash away her filth and disgust.
She found out she was pregnant and wanted to have an abortion, but someone replaced the abortion pills with pregnancy-preserving pills. As she took bowl after bowl of the medicine, her belly grew bigger day by day. She went completely crazy and eventually gave birth to a child prematurely, but she herself died of hemorrhage.
My Prince Consort, a noble young man as pure as the breeze and the bright moon.
What did he do wrong?
He just pushed out a woman he hated, just because his beloved childhood sweetheart couldn't bear to see a young life disappear. He was even willing to wear a green hat and replace those bowls of abortion pills to let the princess give birth to that bastard.
How good he was. He did not marry any woman. He stayed in the princess's mansion and raised that evil son carefully.
From the beginning to the end, he kept guarding his beloved childhood sweetheart with such deep affection and unwavering determination. Who could not be moved by this?
But...what does this have to do with her?
Xiao Li covered his face with both hands to prevent his ferocious and cruel expression from being reflected in the bronze mirror, but he could not conceal the hatred in his heart. It was like a substance, leaking out from between his fingers.
What does the fact that her original self was humble, lovesick, and had a miserable end have to do with her?
What does the second male lead’s infatuation and persistence in the story have to do with her?
Why did she want to travel through the book and experience such pain and despair firsthand?
"The Prince Consort."
A figure in white appeared at the door, and the maids hurriedly saluted.
The man strode in, but stopped outside the screen, unwilling to go in another step.
"I heard something happened here..."
The clear and cool voice was clean and cold, and it was still very pleasant to listen to, but he was too stingy to say more than a few words.
Impatient, arrogant and indifferent.
Xiao Li slowly put down his hand and looked at himself in the mirror in the bright light.
For some reason, this face was exactly like her own, but before, it was always humble and cowardly, or jealous and twisted, or fearful and crazy, and so ugly that it was unbearable to look at.
At this moment, her eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are upturned, and her beauty is like bold ink and color. She has the confidence that everything is under her control, and the madness that can destroy everything.
This made her very satisfied.
"Everyone get off."
The room was still filled with a faint smell of blood, and the maids were still shrouded in fear. They were respectful to the princess as never before and obeyed her every word.
Watching the maids retreat in an orderly manner, Lu Yanzhi frowned slightly. He didn't want to be alone in a room with the princess at all, but he really wanted to know what had happened.
It was all the princess's fault. If she hadn't shamelessly wanted to force him to consummate the marriage, he wouldn't have sent a guard away in anger.
At that time, his thought was, "Since the princess is so short of a man, he will give her a man." However, he felt a little regretful after he left.
He hated the princess, but they were husband and wife after all. If the princess was defiled by another man, where would his dignity be?
This is also the reason why he rushed back. He was nervous for once, but he didn't expect to hear the news of Zhang Jing's death.
The charge was theft, but he knew it was a cover-up as soon as he heard it.
So, did he succeed or not?
As soon as the prince consort heard that something happened to the princess, he rushed over in a hurry. Others would definitely say that the prince consort seemed to still care about the princess.
Only Xiao Li knew that he had come back to see the crime scene.
The bronze mirror reflected his figure standing beside the screen. He was tall, with handsome features, and had the elegance and grace of a gentleman like an orchid. His brows were cold and indifferent, as if he was an immortal who had left the world and was not affected by the mundane world.
What a wonderful and infatuated second male lead.
It's a pity that she is not the heroine, nor is she the reader moved by his infatuation.
She... is a devil, a snake, and his future retribution!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her lips: "It's strange, it's just a thief, not a big deal, why is it worth the prince consort to come and ask in person?"
