"Your Highness, the person has been delivered. To avoid arousing suspicion, I will leave the Prince's residence immediately. The rest is up to Your Highness."
"As long as the prince succeeds, the prime minister will definitely facilitate the marriage between the prince and Ye Zhen."
Yun Wang has been demoted to a county prince, but Zhenluo still calls him "Your Highness" and hints that she will leave in order to lower Yun Wang's guard.
"Thank you for your trouble. I will never forget your kindness, Prime Minister."
Prince Yun pretended not to know Li Heng's thoughts and cupped his hands in greeting.
Once the person left, he had the eunuch help him undress. After he was left in his undergarments and helped to the bed, he told the eunuch to leave.
A disabled person always has some embarrassing moments, and he doesn't want others to see his embarrassment, not even the eunuchs who have served him since childhood.
The door closed, and King Yun looked at Ye Zhen on the bed.
After learning that the Crown Prince's true love was Ye Zhen, he developed a possessive desire for Ye Zhen, thinking that there was no hope for him in this lifetime.
"I never expected to find you lying in my bed today, Ye Zhen. This proves that we are destined for each other, and I am the man you are meant to be."
No one responded.
Ye Zhen closed his eyes tightly, just as Zhenluo had said, and remained unconscious.
But Prince Yun was worried that Li Heng was unreliable, so he took out an aphrodisiac from under his pillow. He thought that as long as Ye Zhen drank the drug, even if she woke up halfway through, she would only beg to be his woman.
As for himself, in order not to arouse suspicion from his father and mother, he would use a little less so that he could deal with the imperial physician's diagnosis afterward without losing his mind.
He opened the bottle and leaned closer to Ye Zhen, intending to feed her the medicine, when he saw the person who had been sleeping suddenly open her eyes.
King Yun was startled!
Just as he was about to speak, Ye Zhen struck his pressure points.
Ye Zhen got up with disgust, took off the gauze layer on her outer robe, and went over to the Prince of Yun's bed. She felt disgusted.
She threw the gauze robe into the charcoal brazier and lit it, then looked at the King of Clouds with eyes as cold as ice.
This person is just as repulsive as he was in his previous life.
Ye Zhen tore Yun Wang's clothes off the hanger and stuffed them into his mouth, ensuring that even if his acupoints were broken, he wouldn't be able to scream. Then, Ye Zhen pulled a dagger from his boots.
"You are jealous of the Crown Prince, but you could strengthen yourself and compete with him openly and fairly. Instead, you resort to underhanded tactics behind the scenes, which is despicable."
As he spoke, Ye Zhen exerted force, and the dagger pierced into Yun Wang's calf.
He then pulled a bone-crushing knife from another boot and pressed it against the Cloud King's throat.
"If you had known all along that the Crown Prince was in love with me, you would have made your move on me long ago. If I didn't comply, you would have destroyed me if you couldn't have me, wouldn't you?"
yes!
King Yun's eyes were bloodshot, from shock and pain.
He truly thought what Ye Zhen said.
But why did Ye Zhen suddenly wake up? And judging from her appearance, she was clearly there to kill him.
Was Li Heng lying to him? Or was Li Heng also deceived by Ye Zhen?
But no matter what, he hadn't done anything to Ye Zhen, so why did she hold such a grudge against him and slander him?
Ye Zhen naturally understood his thoughts and scoffed, "Before I kill you, how about I tell you a story?"
Even without the events of his past life, given Yun Wang's actions towards the Crown Prince and his scheming towards Ye Zhen in this life, he should have died long ago.
"There was a woman who was originally the most noble lady in the capital, but she was switched with another woman by her greedy uncle and aunt..."
Without needing Yun Wang's reply, Ye Zhen simply recounted his past life.
"It was only because the girl was the older brother's sweetheart that the younger brother was jealous of his older brother and wanted to harm her."
He attempted to humiliate his brother by insulting the girl, but when she refused, he ordered her hands and feet to be cut off.
Ye Zhen asked him, "Do you know how painful it is to have your hands and feet cut off?"
Yun Wang had never had his hands or feet cut off, but the dagger stuck in his foot allowed him to roughly imagine the pain.
It was something he couldn't bear, and didn't want to bear.
It's not hard to guess from Ye Zhen's story that the woman is herself, and that the one who cut off Ye Zhen's hands and feet in the story is him.
But he never did such a thing, and Ye Zhen shouldn't have fabricated such lies to slander him.
He glared at Ye Zhen with his eyes wide open, trying to defend himself and protest his innocence, otherwise, he feared Ye Zhen would cut off his hands and feet as well.
But then Ye Zhen whispered, "You must feel wronged, but that was my past life."
If I hadn't been reborn and changed the course of my fate, I would be trapped in this dilapidated house like in my previous life, waiting a few more years until you find out that the Crown Prince's beloved is me, and then you would do evil to me again.
"And you previously sent assassins to kill me, then appeared as my rescuer. If I hadn't been wary, I would have surely been deceived and tricked by you."
After speaking, she gripped the dagger with both hands and with a forceful pull, she used it to cut off the Cloud King's foot from her wound.
"So, you are not wronged at all."
Yun Wang felt a sharp pain shooting straight to the top of his head, but unfortunately, he was immobilized and gagged.
Unable to move or shout, only his eyes seemed about to pop out of their sockets.
His eyes were filled with hatred.
If he had the chance to live, he would definitely tear Ye Zhen to pieces, no, he would chop Ye Zhen into mincemeat to avenge today's humiliation.
But apart from being filled with hatred, there was nothing he could do.
Ye Zhen also harbored resentment.
The person who tormented her to death in her past life was now at her mercy. Without any hesitation, she used the cleaver to cut off the other foot of the Cloud King.
"I bought this knife from a butcher shop; it's much easier to use than a dagger."
Ye Zhen remained calm throughout. "If it weren't for the fact that longswords are difficult to carry, I would have brought one with me, since you were the one who had someone use a longsword to attack me earlier."
To the King of Clouds, her appearance was nothing short of devilish.
How could a woman do these things without batting an eye?
