"What's wrong? You're in such a terrible state, and you still want the prince to kiss you, hug you, and lift you up high to comfort you?"
"You lowly concubine..."
"You know you're just a lowly concubine, so don't even think about the Prince!" Ji Fengyao stretched out her arm and pulled Shang Xiye into her arms with an air of dominance, like a bandit abducting a respectable man from the mountains, announcing to the whole world: "I said before we got married that the Prince belongs to me alone; if you behave yourself, I'll let you remain a lowly concubine; but if you dare to lay a finger on the Prince, I'll skin you alive, chop you up, and feed you to the dogs!"
"Your Highness, you!" Yu Ying was so shocked she couldn't speak.
She never expected that this bandit would actually have the ambition to monopolize the prince.
What she didn't expect was that the prince wasn't angry at all after hearing these treasonous words.
The prince even obediently let the bandit embrace him, enjoying resting his head on the bandit's body.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Is that how you should address me?" Ji Fengyao spoke in a completely thuggish tone.
Gao Chengwei and the others standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore.
This bandit is beautiful, but he is too crude and domineering. He can't even let his concubines get close to the Ninth Prince.
Any man with some power has three wives and four concubines. The Ninth Prince is too pitiful!
No, no, no, Ninth Prince really doesn't deserve any sympathy.
Look at how doting on his wife and afraid of her, he's a disgrace to men like us, and they should take heed!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the road has been swept clean," Wu Shang reported, adding a double entendre, "The one in front too."
"Hmm," Shang Xiye responded, sitting in his wheelchair and looking up at Ji Fengyao, "Your Highness, should we still go to Song Family Village? Or should we turn back and return home?"
This obedient, pleading look made Gao Chengwei and the others inwardly exclaim: "You've blinded your 250K pure gold eyes!"
Who would have thought that the renowned War God, King Jiu, would fall at the hands of a bandit!
Who would believe that if I told them? Who the hell would believe it!
Ji Fengyao originally thought that since the other side had already wiped out their people and captured all the prisoners, there was no need to go.
But after glancing at Yu Ying's carriage, which was riddled with arrows, she changed her mind: "We definitely have to go to Song Family Village. We bandits have to keep our word; we have to do what we promise."
After saying that, she turned to Gao Chengwei and the others behind her and said, "Commander Gao, since you're all here, why don't you go and take a look together? If there are still thieves behind, your protection will put His Highness and me at ease."
Gao Chengwei: "...Yes, Ninth Prince's Consort!"
He never imagined that one day he would become the Ninth Prince's personal bodyguard!
Those guys who collected intelligence today should all be dragged out and beheaded!
"Don't say a word about going to Songjiazhuang when you get back. I will report to the Emperor myself," Gao Chengwei whispered to his men, giving them his instructions.
"Yes!" the Imperial Guards replied grudgingly.
The group arrived at the outskirts of Songjiazhuang in a grand procession and stopped at the village entrance.
A guard returned and reported, "Your Highness, something seems amiss at the estate."
Ji Fengyao closed her eyes and listened intently for a moment, then said in surprise, "Judging from the houses here, there must be quite a few people living here. It's really unusual that such a large manor doesn't even have the sound of chickens crowing, dogs barking, or children playing or crying."
Shang Xiye lifted the carriage curtain, his gaze calm and cautious as he surveyed the desolate village before him.
