The thought of his beloved woman still facing all kinds of unexpected dangers under his protection twisted Xiao Ruiyuan’s heart fiercely,
Previously, he and his cousin had agreed that it wasn’t the best ti to eliminate King Heng, so they temporarily suppressed their actions to plan for the future. However, the events of tonight hit him like a hamr to the heart. He no longer wanted to wait for the so-called right mont and hated not being able to kill King Heng imdiately so that no one could harm her again...
The oil in the lamp steadily diminished until it was exhausted. Xiao Ruiyuan sat stiffly in his room for the entire night, and when the first rays of sunlight entered through the windowsill, he finally stood up, his legs numb, and strode toward Chu Heng’s quarters, his tall silhouette in the light carrying an aura of ruthless determination.
Chu Heng, who was now able to walk a few steps, was washing up with the help of the eunuchs. Hearing of Xiao Ruiyuan’s arrival, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he imdiately had the Little Eunuchs invite him in.
Seeing his cousin enter with an air of frost, Chu Heng’s heart sank. He dismissed the eunuchs in the room, "Has there been an unexpected developnt in our plans?"
Xiao Ruiyuan’s face was cold as he nodded, his eyes filled with a murderous intent, "This ti, let King Heng die!"
Let King Heng die?
The corner of Chu Heng’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, seeing that his cousin was not speaking on impulse. He furrowed his brow involuntarily, "Did he provoke Miss Mo again? Tell exactly what happened!"
Every ti it involved sothing related to Miss Mo, this cousin of his easily lost his reason. How could this be acceptable?
Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t speak but handed over the ssage he had received the night before to Chu Heng. After Chu Heng finished reading, Xiao Ruiyuan added, "The bandits from the hills were brought back by the Hidden Guard four hours ago. Does cousin want to personally interrogate them?"
Chu Heng looked at the content on the paper, then at his icy cousin, and sighed in understanding for his anger, "Cousin need not go, do what you want to do! However, as a reminder, as long as the Lin Family is still around, our father the Emperor might not take action against King Heng, and you can’t act against King Heng directly. If the Emperor blas you, I may not be able to ensure your safety."
Xiao Ruiyuan nodded solemnly. If not for fearing the Lin Family, would King Heng still be alive to be so brazen? Had he known the troubles of today, he should have let King Heng die in the Savage Beast Forest on the day of the beast attack, even if the aftermath would have been more troubleso, he would have borne it all to not let her be in danger.
With just one glance, Chu Heng could tell what his cousin was thinking and chastised with a stern expression, "She hasn’t suffered any harm, yet it causes you to lose your usual wisdom. What would you do if sothing truly happened? Would you pierce the sky with a hole?"
Xiao Ruiyuan’s gaze was piercing as he looked at his cousin, responding coldly, "The day cousin ets a woman you love, you will understand my feelings at this mont!"
Chu Heng choked on his words and then snorted coldly, "Even if there is such a woman, I won’t be like you, to be swayed by a woman."
Discarding love and passion is a must for every emperor. As a Crown Prince, he would never allow himself to be swayed by romantic entanglents, let alone be dominated by a woman. If such a woman ever appeared in his life, he would eliminate her without rcy!
Once a person makes a certain decision about sothing they have never experienced or tried, it can only an that they are not mature enough. Years later, Chu Heng finally t such a woman. Holding the Sharp Sword, he couldn’t bring himself to strike ruthlessly and had to leave the woman alone in the unseen dangers of the palace, to face all sorts of risks by herself.
Only when that woman could no longer endure, her spirit fading away, did he wake up from his delusion, full of regret, but it was already too late.
