Chapter 71 Taste of Being an Eternal Sinner
Yes, they were not the same kind of people from the beginning.
The hand that was tightly clasping her waist slowly dropped down, and the light in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes also faded away inch by inch.
"You go now."
He stopped the carriage.
Xie Zhuoning said nothing, just nodded slightly at him, then stood up and left.
After this departure, we will be strangers for many years.
The next time we meet, I won’t know whether we are enemies or friends.
…
That night.
Jiang Yingxue wore a black cloak, covered herself tightly, and quietly got into a carriage.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the gate of a villa. She got off the carriage with the help of her maid and walked in.
As soon as she entered the door and saw someone standing in the yard, her eyes reddened and she lifted her skirt and ran over.
"Ah Cheng, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Xiao Bicheng opened his arms, hugged the person tightly, and patted her back gently.
"How could that be? Even if I don't want this world, I will never want you."
With tears in her eyes, she said softly, "Then go and ask the emperor not to marry me to Xi Chu, okay?"
The Prince of Western Chu is not a human being, he is a lunatic!
He would grind the brow bones of those who offended him into beads and string them into bracelets to play with.
He would often treat his women as toys and give them away as rewards to his ministers and servants.
What she could not forget the most was Ye Wuque smiling and saying to her, "I have a big snake as thick as a basin. If the big snake and the beauty combine, will they give birth to the mythical beautiful snake?"
There was no sign of joking on his face, and his eager eyes kept looking at her.
She felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, and her throat seemed to be strangled by someone, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Sir, this marriage is the emperor's choice. It's not easy to break off the engagement. You have to give me some time..."
Xiao Bicheng was also anxious, so he asked his advisers to give him strategies during this period, hoping to find a way to have the best of both worlds.
It would not anger the emperor, and Bai Yingxue would not have to go to marry.
Bai Yingxue felt disappointed when she heard his excuses.
A moment, how long is a moment?
Before leaving today, Ye Wuque said that he would come to visit her every day from now on.
If she continues like this, she might not even make it to Xichu and would go crazy!
With her eyes closed, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Xiao Bicheng's lips as if she had given it all.
"Ah Cheng, I don't want to marry the prince of Western Chu. I just want to be your woman. Even if it's only for one day, I can die with my eyes closed."
The voice was as soft as a hook, and her heart and eyes were filled with only one figure.
This is her last trump card left.
"Xue'er..." Xiao Bicheng was deeply moved.
Which man can tolerate the woman he likes looking at him like this?
He picked up Bai Yingxue and strode into the house.
The candlelight flickers and the gauze curtains flutter.
The two of them hugged each other, their breath blending together, inseparable.
The matter is over.
Bai Yingxue leaned on Xiao Bicheng's shoulder and drew circles on him with her fingers, "Ah Cheng, I'm so happy. How great would it be if we could stay together like this forever?"
As if she thought of something, she lowered her eyes and began to cry softly.
"Don't cry. It won't look good if you cry." Xiao Bichen kissed the tears on her cheeks. As he kissed, his expression darkened and his hands and feet began to become restless again.
"Xue'er, don't worry. I will never let you marry to Xi Chu. You can only be mine..."
"Disgusting~"
The two began to struggle again.
At the same time.
Prince Yong brought his men and quickly surrounded the villa, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out.
This time, Xiao Bicheng secretly left the palace to meet Bai Yingxue, and did not dare to bring too many people with him.
So when the guards of the East Palace who were guarding the door saw that something was wrong, they immediately drew the cannon from their waists and prepared to call for reinforcements to protect the prince.
But before he could pull the trigger, he was captured by King Yong's men in a lightning speed.
Arriving at the door of the room unhindered, King Yong sneered when he heard the unbearable noise coming from inside.
"Bump it open!"
Following his order, the guards behind him immediately stepped forward and slammed the door open.
"Ah!" Bai Yingxue was frightened when she saw the people who suddenly broke in. She quickly covered her body with clothes and hid behind Xiao Bicheng.
Xiao Bicheng was originally in high spirits, but when he looked up and saw who was coming, he immediately stopped.
His face turned pale. "Prince Yong, why are you here?"
King Yong raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Someone complained to me that my lover was having an affair here. I didn't expect that we didn't catch the adulterer, but we did run into a pair of wild birds."
"If I am not mistaken, the one behind you should be Princess Yunxue who is going to be sent to Xichu for marriage, right?"
"Your Highness, you are so lucky!"
How could Xiao Bichen not understand the mockery and threat in those words?
But if what happened today were to be exposed, the consequences would be disastrous!
He put on a flattering smile and decided to calm the other party first, "Uncle, there is some misunderstanding about this matter. I can explain it to you. How about we sit down and have a good chat?"
"I'm afraid we can't talk anymore," Prince Yong raised his lips wickedly, "When I received the news, I was inviting the Crown Prince of Chu to drink at home. He heard there was something exciting to watch, so he came along."
Xiao Bicheng raised his head suddenly and looked at the figure walking in from outside the door, his eyes widened in horror.
Why is he here too?
"Xue'er, I am obsessed with you. How could you treat me like this?"
Ye Wuque looked at Bai Yingxue, who was half-dressed and had traces of ambiguity on her, and shook his head in disappointment.
Bai Yingxue wanted to scream.
He is so obsessed that he wants whoever loves him!
"Prince Chu, this matter is the fault of Daye. Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you!" King Yong patted his chest and promised solemnly.
The prince showed no mercy when dealing with him.
Now the situation has changed. He has the leverage over the prince, so of course he has to fight back!
The next day.
Prince Yong reported to the emperor that Crown Prince Shen and Princess Yunxue were secretly dealing with each other and destroying the marriage between the two countries!
His Majesty was furious and withdrew the position of Crown Prince Xiao Bicheng!
Bai Yingxue was also stripped of her title and thrown into jail!
Afterwards, the emperor added another 100,000 taels of gold, 5,000 cattle and sheep, and many other benefits as compensation to the crown prince of Chu.
Xie Zhuoning deliberately picked a good seat in the teahouse, and while he ate melon seeds leisurely, he listened to the common people cursing Xiao Bicheng.
"Bah, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be such a person! As the crown prince of a country, he is so reckless and does he care about the people of Daye?"
If the Crown Prince of Chu refused to negotiate peace in anger, the two countries would probably go to war again. How many people would be displaced then?
"Humph, Bai Yingxue is not a saint at all. I think she is more like a vixen!"
I have never seen her do anything that benefits the country and the people, but she is very good at causing harm to the country and the people.
"In my opinion, it is better for the prince to retire, otherwise who knows how stupid he will become in the future!"
"That's right. I used to think he would be a benevolent and wise ruler, but I didn't expect him to start doing such nonsense before he even took the throne."
Listening to everyone's discussions, Xie Zhuoning just felt happy, so happy!
These words were used to scold her in the past.
In his previous life, Xiao Bicheng said that he wanted to be a wise ruler and could not leave even the slightest stain.
So she was the first to commit evil, she took the blame, and in the end she became infamous and was despised by everyone!
But in this life, everything is different.
"Xiao Bicheng, let me give you a taste of what it's like to be a sinner for all eternity."
