Chapter 51 I personally handed her the knife

"Heh," Xie Zhuoning pulled the corner of his mouth, his lips slightly cold, "If you want me to die faster, just say so!"

Zhang Yushi's daughter accidentally fell into the water while boating and was rescued by a fisherman. She was then labeled as unchaste. Not only was her fiancée divorced, but she was also forced by her own family to hang herself in order to preserve her reputation.

Not to mention, she is the future Crown Princess and the mother of a country.

I'm afraid that as soon as he got off the carriage, the imperial edict from the palace would be delivered to the Xie family.

Ye Wuque blinked at her and smiled like a spirit from a painting, "Isn't it okay if you don't let people see your face?"

Um?

Xie Zhuoning opened his eyes wide and thought seriously.

Seems to work!

When she fell off the bridge, it happened suddenly and everyone's attention was on Ye Wuque, so probably few people noticed her.

If she covered her face when she got off the carriage, who would know that she was Xie Zhuoning?

Pulling a handkerchief from her bosom and covering her face with it, she looked up and asked, "How is it? Can you tell who I am?"

Ye Wuque propped up his chin and thought seriously for a long time, "Hmm...how should I put it? To use your Daye dialect, it should be called "there is no silver here, three hundred taels."

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

With his face covered in broad daylight, it's hard not to be suspicious.

She thought of many ways, but none of them seemed appropriate.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd and amid heavy security, it would have been difficult for her to leave smoothly if Ye Wuque hadn't protected her.

After thinking about it, I could only make up my mind and say, "Just hug me."

Anyway, Ye Wuque had hugged her when he rescued her just now, so it wouldn't hurt to hug her a little longer.

She is not the kind of chaste woman who would commit suicide to prove her loyalty if touched.

Only by being alive can she have the opportunity to do what she wants.

The long arms wrapped Xie Zhuoning in his arms. Ye Wuque saw that her figure was thin and frail, yet surprisingly strong. He held her like a porcelain doll.

"Hold on tight." The beaded curtain was drawn aside and he stood up and got out of the car.

Xie Zhuoning put his arms around his neck and buried his face in his chest like an ostrich, not daring to show even a little bit.

Because we were so close, I could hear his thumping heartbeat and his soft chuckle.

This guy, why does he seem so happy?

"Please wait a moment, Prince."

A general in silver armor stepped forward quickly and bowed to greet him.

"I am Pei Shen, the commander of the Qinglong Battalion of the Capital Army. I am under the order of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan to protect the safety of the Crown Prince and the Western Chu delegation. This woman's origins are unknown. She must be handed over to the Dali Temple to verify her identity before she can be released."

Xie Zhuoning pricked up his ears, hearing every word clearly, and subconsciously grabbed Ye Wuque's collar.

Xiao Jinxuan is in charge of receiving the Western Chu delegation. Could he be here too?

That's it...

Others may not recognize her, but Xiao Jinxuan can’t say for sure!

As if sensing her nervousness, Ye Wuque withdrew his hand from her waist, but his tone was lazy.

"I just got a beautiful girl and wanted to have sex with her right away, but you took her away. Who is responsible for my loss of interest? Is this how you treat guests in Daye?"

Those who sit firmly in high positions speak calmly, yet they are majestic without being angry.

"Prince, please calm down!" Pei Shen hurriedly bowed and tried to explain, "It's just that the timing of this woman's appearance is too strange. If she is an assassin..."

"You people in Daye have a good saying: To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost."

Ye Wuque raised his narrow peach blossom eyes, a smile lingering in his eyes, giving people the illusion that he was affectionate even to a dog, "If she is an assassin, I will personally hand her the knife."

Xie Zhuoning silently rolled his eyes in his heart.

No wonder so many women are willing to die for him and are so good at saying sweet words to him.

"But..." Pei Shen still felt that it was inappropriate and tried to stop it.

However, Ye Wuque had lost interest in tangling with him and went straight into the inn carrying him.

"No one is allowed to enter without the order of this palace."

"yes!"

The elite soldiers of Western Chu drew their weapons and guarded the door tightly.

Pei Shen saw this and immediately ordered his subordinates, "Go and report to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan that an unidentified woman has sneaked into the Western Chu delegation!"

…

As soon as I entered the house, my arms suddenly felt empty.

Ye Wuque looked at Xie Zhuoning who couldn't wait to leave him, tightened his hand, and slowly withdrew it.

"Why are you running so fast? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Thinking about the nonsense he said when he came to the door, Xie Zhuoning's eyes were full of vigilance, "To be honest with you, Prince, I am actually engaged."

He is the Crown Prince of Western Chu, he shouldn't force others to do things, right?

"Really?" Ye Wuque looked interested, "I love raping other people's wives the most."

Xie Zhuoning's mouth twitched.

The taste is really strong!

That’s right, how old is Ye Wuque at that time, but he can do such perverted things. Is there anything he can’t do?

I have found myself in a wolf's den!

Now the posthouse is surrounded by his men, so it would be extremely difficult to escape. He must find a good opportunity.

Seeing her frowning and thinking hard, Ye Wuque just found it funny. "Okay, I'm just kidding you. I'll send someone to take you back when I find the chance."

"Really?" Xie Zhuoning raised his eyes, half believing and half doubting.

Ye Wuque said: "I always keep my word."

"I don't believe it," Xie Zhuoning shook his head, "unless you swear that the person who lied to me will never have an erection again in his life!"

Ye Wuque held his forehead in silence, "Why don't you listen to what you have to say?"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

It seems a bit excessive.

Too lazy to argue with her, Ye Wuque raised his hands and clapped his hands. Soon, servants rushed in and brought all kinds of delicious fruits and desserts.

Looking at the table full of delicious delicacies, Xie Zhuoning touched his rumbling stomach and started eating without hesitation.

Ye Wuque leaned forward and raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you very wary of me just now? How dare you eat the food I gave you? Aren't you afraid that it's poisoned?"

Xie Zhuoning was eating, he paused, looked up at him, "Did you poison it?"

"not."

"That's it."

She lowered her head and continued eating.

Ye Wuque was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "Aren't you afraid that I will deceive you?"

"You just swore that you would never lie to me again in your life."

His face darkened and he gritted his teeth, "I didn't swear such an oath!"

What man would swear on such a thing?

Xie Zhuoning didn't care at all. "My life is in your hands now. If you really want to kill me, it will be as easy as crushing an ant. I won't even have a chance to resist. If the food is poisonous, I will just die and avoid the pain."

After finishing her meal slowly, she wiped her mouth and looked up, her eyes bright and clear as snow.

"Besides, why would the prince want to kill me? After all, I am the prince's savior!"
