"You can't kill me! You can't abandon me!" Ye Yabing suddenly raised her neck, facing Yun Chi's rage head-on!
"No one can say 'no' to me! You are no exception! My queen cannot be an ugly woman. Sending you to your death is my mercy!"
Ye Ya sneered, "Has Your Highness forgotten the Twin Lotuses? I am the chosen one, and I can help Your Highness achieve your great cause. If you kill me, I'm afraid Your Highness's great cause will not succeed! Years of planning will be in vain!"
Yun Chi shuddered, staring at her intently, his hands unable to reach for her throat any longer.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Yabing sneered repeatedly, slowly got out of bed, picked up the human skin mask from the floor, put it back on her face, and flattened it.
But for some reason, the human skin mask seemed to be ruined; it could no longer be as smooth and clean as before, nor could it cover her face properly.
It was as if she had a pale, long-dead human skin pasted on her face.
But she couldn't accept her true self, so even though the human skin mask couldn't be restored to its original state, it still gave her some comfort.
She turned to face Yun Chi, who was still sitting on the bed. The blankets and sheets were disheveled and had obvious dampness, showing how intense their encounter had been!
They were just that intimate!
Ye Yabing said, "Your Highness, as long as I wear the human skin mask, I will still be your beautiful princess, and I can uphold the reputation of your Prince Ding's Mansion!"
"When you ascend the throne in the future, you only need to make me your empress. You don't need to favor me every night. You can ensure my wealth and honor. As the chosen one, I will help you achieve your great cause and safeguard your throne!"
Ye Yabing believed she had already made concessions.
Yunchi must have agreed.
Ye Yabing stroked her face and continued, "Have you heard of the Heartless Fruit, Your Highness? She was skilled in face-changing techniques, but unfortunately she was executed."
"However, since there is a Heartless Fruit in the world, there will definitely be a second Heartless Fruit. It can help me change my face. Your Highness has immense power, so I will have to trouble you to help me find a second Heartless Fruit in the future."
"As long as things go smoothly, Ya Ya will still be your beautiful princess!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door of the bridal chamber, and Yun Chi's personal guard called out from outside, "Your Highness, there is an urgent matter requesting an audience!"
"Come in!"
Yun Chi quickly put on his clothes, got out of bed, and closed the window.
Ye Yabing quickly put on her clothes, completely ignoring Yun Chi's guards and wondering what they wanted to do at this time.
The door opened, and a maidservant entered carrying a candle, restoring light to the room.
After the area was cleared, the guards pushed Master Citan in. Master Citan was trembling all over and immediately knelt down when she saw Yunchi.
When Ye Yabing saw Abbess Citan, her pupils contracted sharply, but the guards had already stopped her, not allowing her to get any closer to Abbess Citan.
“Your Highness, this humble nun is guilty! It was the Princess Consort who… she spent a fortune to find twin lotus flowers from elsewhere, planted them in her courtyard, and threatened this humble nun by falsely claiming that she was the chosen one of destiny!” Abbess Citan said, trembling.
Yun Chi's eyes narrowed slightly.
After his outburst of rage, he was now quite calm.
But Ye Yabing still keenly sensed an extremely terrifying danger, and she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, she is framing me!"
Yun Chi glanced at her coldly, ignored her, and asked Abbess Citan directly, "Then tell me now, is the Princess Consort truly the chosen one?"
Abbess Citan hurriedly said, "This humble nun sees no signs of a destined woman in the Queen Consort; she is no different from other noble ladies."
"Are you sure? If you tell even one lie, I will kill you." Yun Chi's voice was as cold as ice.
"This humble nun dares not deceive Your Highness!" Abbess Citan hurriedly replied. Originally, she had followed Ye Yabing's orders to spread rumors about Ye Qingxue, making it impossible for Ye Qingxue to survive in the capital city.
As a result, Ye Qingxue's maid, Dongbai, smashed up her hideout, captured her lover, and her illegitimate child...
Having no other choice, she went to the Prince Ding's residence and revealed the truth!
“Alright, drag Master Citan away,” Yun Chi said, his voice neither loud nor soft, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.
However, Yun Chi added to his guards, "I don't want a fifth person to know about tonight's events."
The nun Citan was deeply grateful, repeatedly kowtowing in thanks, and promising to keep quiet and not to spread the word.
The guards took her out, but before they even left the gates of the Prince Ding's residence, her throat had been slit.
The door to the bridal chamber was closed again.
Yun Chi walked towards Ye Yabing step by step, his pace neither fast nor slow, making soft sounds.
For Ye Yabing, every step Yun Chi took felt like stepping on her heart, making her breath almost stop.
Ye Yabing retreated step by step. No matter how spacious the room was, she had already retreated to the wall, her back pressed tightly against the cold wall.
It had started raining outside. Raindrops pounded on the roof and window frames, making a pitter-patter sound, much like a death knell.
Yun Chi grabbed Ye Yabing's throat again, almost lifting her off the ground. Ye Yabing's face instantly turned purple.
"You have deceived me time and time again; you deserve to die!"
Ye Yabing suddenly became fearless: "Your Highness cannot kill me. If I die, you will not live either!"
