As dusk fell, Lin Shuang brought a lavish dinner to Ji Fengyao's bedroom, only to be kicked out.
The magpie was stopped at the door by Wuying and Wuhen, and it was so angry that it jumped up and down and cried.
That heartless, despicable prince! His young lady is on the verge of death, and he can still stay inside and feast on her while she's unconscious!
Bai Lu, Lin Shuang, and Granny Cui looked at each other outside the door, full of complaints but daring not to speak out.
The Ninth Prince is indeed cold-hearted and cruel.
If it were an ordinary person, they would at least go back to their own courtyard to eat and drink, but he insisted on facing the half-dead princess.
Ji Fengyao, who was thought to be half-dead, was sitting in her room with a large chicken leg in her left hand and a large pork hock in her right, gnawing on it with grease and relish. She dared not drink any wine, feeling a little sorry for Xi Que. This life couldn't be better.
"Sigh, I really feel bad for Xique this time. That girl treats me better than a real sister." Ji Fengyao took another bite of the big chicken leg, chewing hard with a guilty look on her face.
Across from him, Shang Xiye ate slowly and gracefully, his demeanor elegant and composed, almost as if he were turning a meal into a performance art piece.
He stopped eating and swallowed until there was no food left in his mouth before he spoke: "Since you know who harmed you, why didn't you arrest and punish them on the spot? You were so decisive before, but when your life was in danger, why did you become so soft?"
It makes me so angry!
Ji Fengyao suddenly lost her appetite for chicken legs and glared at him: "Isn't it all because of what you said? I can't send away or drive away your concubines, and I have to watch my temper even when I'm disciplining the maids. How dare I do anything to them?"
Shang Xiye choked. It turned out that this little thing wasn't as smart as he thought; at least she hadn't figured out this sentence.
"And then there's the matter of the drunk man who came into my courtyard yesterday. Your men surrounded the courtyard like an iron barrel, but that man still got in, and afterwards there was no reaction from the manor at all. You're clearly protecting your women. How dare I touch your darlings? I don't care if I die!" After Ji Fengyao finished her accusations, she threw away the big chicken leg and pork hock, completely losing her appetite.
Shang Xiye sighed softly.
He stretched out his long arm, took a silk handkerchief, and wiped away the bits of meat and grease from the corner of her mouth. He said gently, "There are some things that you can do, that others can do, but that I cannot do. Do you understand?"
hold head high?
Ji Fengyao was slightly taken aback. She remembered what he had said when he apologized to her before: "It's just that I've never experienced it before." A flash of inspiration struck her, and she suddenly understood the meaning of those words. She was so surprised that her face contorted in astonishment.
This guy, the most noble prince of the Great Zhao Dynasty, a highly sought-after war god, is a 25-year-old man who has married six wives.
He... he's still a virgin?!
He never actually touched those women; they were just living surveillance cameras forced into his home by others.
In truth, Ji Fengyao herself was also a decoration forced into his mansion, and of all the decorations, she was the one most capable of humiliating him.
Thinking about it, this kid is quite pitiful.
"I understand. Don't worry, you'll soon have a bunch of bruised and battered concubines." Ji Fengyao ground her back teeth and rolled up her sleeves with a bandit-like air: "If anyone dares to touch a hair on my head, I'll skin them alive; if anyone touches a finger of mine, I'll smash their bones. I'm a bandit, who am I afraid of? Humph!"
"box……"
Shang Xiye was amused by her silly little appearance, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, radiant with spring.
Ji Fengyao glanced up and saw his genuine smile. In that instant, she felt as if she were seeing her devilish master again, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Master, just you wait. One day I will definitely go back and cause you more trouble.
