Chapter 203 Killing Intent
There was no one around.
He breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and walked quickly out of the mansion.
Just leave quietly and pretend nothing happened last night.
When he turned the corner of a corridor planted with banana trees, a simple and elegant figure was also walking hurriedly towards him.
The two of them collided head-on.
"Ouch!"
A soft cry.
Xiao Minglan subconsciously supported the other person, looked carefully, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Chen Suixin!
Ah He’s best friend!
How come she is here?!
Chen Sui Xin obviously didn't expect to run into him. She steadied herself, took a step back, and after seeing who was coming, her face was full of surprise.
Her gaze swept from his bloodshot eyes to his disheveled clothes, and was even scented by the smell of alcohol on him.
Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"Your Highness Prince Yi?"
Chen Suixin's voice contained a hint of undisguised surprise.
"You actually...slept here last night?"
boom--!
It was as if something exploded in Xiao Minglan's mind.
What does she mean by this?
What did she see?
Do you know anything?
Did she see me coming out of Chen Yan's room last night? !
In an instant, Xiao Minglan's face became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it. He stared at her intently, his eyes like a lone wolf locking onto its prey in the dark night.
Sinister and full of scrutiny.
He spoke slowly, enunciating each word, his voice so low that it seemed as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
"What...did you see?"
Chen Sui Xin was frightened by his appearance and subconsciously took half a step back.
She didn't understand. It was just a normal greeting, so why did His Royal Highness Prince Yi react as if he was facing a great enemy?
She frowned, a look of confusion on her face.
"What did you see?"
"Sui Xin is here to look for Ah He. Today is her wedding day, so I should accompany her to the palace to pay my respects."
Her tone was frank and her eyes were clear.
But in Xiao Minglan's eyes, this frankness became a more clever disguise.
Chen Suixin looked him up and down again, with a hint of doubt mixed in with his undisguised concern.
"It's you, Your Highness Prince Yi..."
"Are you just arriving, or are you leaving?"
This question was like a needle, accurately piercing Xiao Minglan's tense nerves.
Just arrived? Or leaving?
She was testing herself!
Xiao Minglan's heart sank suddenly, but he tried hard to maintain composure on his face.
He didn't dare look into Chen Sui Xin's eyes, and his gaze wandered to the banana leaves beside him.
"I...drank too much at the palace banquet yesterday and got a little drunk."
His voice was unnaturally hoarse.
"Maybe...something was left here. Come and look for it."
He himself felt guilty after hearing these words.
The introduction is incoherent and full of loopholes.
Chen Suixin's brows furrowed even tighter.
She looked at his bloodshot eyes, his messy clothes that smelled of powder, and the lingering smell of alcohol...
Then think of his well-known obsession with Shen He.
Ah He got married yesterday. He must have been heartbroken and drank to drown his sorrows. I don't know where he got drunk all night.
Chen Suixin understood, and his vigilance turned into an almost inaudible sigh.
After all, we had a friendship as classmates at Yunshan Academy.
She slowed down her tone, speaking with a hint of advice.
"Your Highness Prince Yi."
"Some things...must be faced."
"What is meant to pass will eventually pass."
Boom——!
The last string in Xiao Minglan's mind broke.
face?
past?
She really knew it!
She knew what a rotten thing she had done to Shen Yan last night!
She was pointing herself to face Shen Yan and face the sins she had committed!
The panic in his eyes instantly froze into ice, turning into a sinister coldness.
Xiao Minglan suddenly raised his head, his eyes like knives, shooting straight at Chen Suixin.
"Miss Chen."
"What do you mean by that?"
His voice was already filled with undisguised threat.
Chen Suixin was startled by his sudden change.
She just thought he was trapped in love, stuck in a dead end, and unwilling to accept reality.
It's so pitifully stubborn.
She sighed again, her tone filled with helplessness and pity.
"Your Highness Prince Yi, you are already the honorable Prince Yi. You have a promising future and a bright future."
"Why bother..."
"Why must it be so?"
The last bit of panic in Xiao Minglan's eyes faded away, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and put on a cold smile.
"Miss Chen."
His voice was as cold as ice.
"It seems that it is not your turn to worry about the king's affairs."
Chen Suixin was stunned. She didn't expect his reaction to be so intense.
Xiao Minglan slowly stepped closer, and the oppressive feeling mixed with the smell of alcohol and murderous intent made her subconsciously hold her breath.
"It's best to pretend you didn't see something you shouldn't see."
"Things that shouldn't be said should be kept to oneself."
Every word he spoke seemed to be fished out of an ice cellar, carrying a chilling warning.
"You should understand what this king means."
When Chen Suixin heard this, the doubts in his heart immediately disappeared.
I see.
He was afraid that Ah He would know about his love-struck and miserable appearance, which would damage his dignity as Prince Yi.
Yes, he is such a proud person.
Chen Suixin understood what was going on, and he completely let go of his vigilance, instead feeling a bit of sympathy.
She nodded solemnly, her tone more sincere than ever before.
"good."
"Your Highness Prince Yi, don't worry."
"I will never tell you what I saw."
"Especially...to Ah He."
boom--!
Xiao Minglan felt a darkness before his eyes and the whole world was spinning.
She admitted it!
She really saw it!
She saw how she had gone mad last night, how she had mistaken Chen Yan for Chen He, and how she had committed such a heinous crime that was worse than that of an animal!
An extremely strong murderous intent instantly gushed out from his heart and swept through his limbs and bones!
Kill her!
As long as we kill her, no one will know this secret anymore!
Xiao Minglan's hand suddenly clenched into a fist, his joints made a crisp "crackling" sound, veins bulged, and the wound on the back of his hand seemed to have split open again.
But the moment the murderous intent rushed to his throat, reason, like a cold iron chain, strangled him tightly.
no!
This is Prince Ning’s Mansion!
Ah He is inside!
If he killed her best friend here, Shen He would never forgive himself in his entire life!
Absolutely not!
He forcibly suppressed the overwhelming murderous intent, but it turned into an even more sinister and cold chill that seeped out from every pore of his body.
He stared at Chen Suixin intently, his eyes showing that he wished he could torture her to death.
"Miss Chen..."
His voice was as hoarse as sandpaper.
"It's best to do what you say."
Before he finished speaking, he turned around abruptly, walking as fast as if he was running for his life. In almost the blink of an eye, the disheveled figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Chen Sui Xin was still frightened by his last look and stood there in a daze.
After a long time, she looked in the direction where Xiao Minglan disappeared, shook her head helplessly, and sighed softly.
