Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Turmoil Approaches: Sisi in Peril (Part 5) Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Turmoil Approaches: Sisi in Peril (Part 5) The shouts of fighting outside could no longer startle her.
She slowly sat down on the chair, picked up the colored glaze mirror beside her, and carefully began to adorn herself.
She let down her cloud-like long hair, picked up the comb, and carefully combed it out before twisting it into a Flying Cloud bun and inserting the wooden hairpin she had worn on her wedding night.
This wooden hairpin was none other than the Crown Prince—her nominal husband Zhao Heng’s favorite object!
Since childhood, she had always followed his figure. But as a re attendant, that majestic silhouette seed so out of reach for her!
Yet, it didn’t prevent her from secretly keeping him in her heart.
The mont she learned she had been chosen for the Crown Prince by Zhao Dun, she was ecstatic! The next mont, when she heard she was actually ant to surveil the Crown Prince, her heart felt like it was being cut to pieces!
Perhaps that’s why, when the Crown Prince refused to touch her, it ca as no surprise to her.
Even though she knew the outco, the sense of loss deep within her grew day by day. Countless tis, she had seen him sitting alone at the windowsill, holding this wooden hairpin and gazing at the moon, often for the whole night.
When she found out he was about to depart on a journey, she took the opportunity to pack his belongings and stole this hairpin.
If she couldn’t have him, then possessing his most beloved object was a consolation!
Now that he had passed away, what she needed to do was to fulfill his lifelong wish as much as possible! And then, to join him in death!
That was where her final destination lay!
After thoroughly scrutinizing herself to ensure there were no flaws, she then thodically applied a layer of fragrant powder, delicately outlined her eyebrows, lightly pursed her lips with rouge, and finally adorned herself with yellow flowers against the mirror, dressing herself beautifully.
Only then did she look at herself in the mirror; after a while, she put down the mirror contentedly, let out a sigh, changed into her favorite grand attire, and turned back towards the bottom of the cabin, completely ignoring the shouts of fighting behind her.
It was only when she pushed open the cabin door once more that she realized her hands were slightly trembling.
She couldn’t help but mock herself! It seed she wasn’t as calm as she appeared to be.
Liu Sisi was feigning sleep fully clothed when she heard the cabin door open and imdiately opened her eyes.
The mont had finally arrived!
She turned over and sat up at the head of the bed, but only saw Xing Pan’er coming in all by herself, a fleeting look of surprise darted across her eyes.
Xing Pan’er chuckled lightly, “What’s the matter? Are you especially disappointed to see only arrive?”
With the jingle of her ornants, Xing Pan’er walked step by step toward her, coming up close to her side.
Liu Sisi’s eyebrows instinctively knitted together; the expression of the person opposite her was very off! There was a kind of utter calmness in her eyes, but a stormy madness hid within them.
This madness, she had once seen in the eyes of the forr Crown Prince.
“Xing Pan’er, what exactly do you want to do?”
Xing Pan’er just laughed coquettishly, shaking with laughter, bending forward and backward as if Liu Sisi had told the greatest joke ever.
“Guess, what do I want to do now?”
As she spoke, she reached up to touch the wooden hairpin in her hair again.
How could she guess? Who could keep pace with the thoughts of a madwoman!
Her gaze, however, fell on the hair bun amidst a pile of pearl and jade, where, in the most conspicuous spot, a rather ordinary wooden hairpin was diagonally inserted.
Seeing Liu Sisi’s gaze land on the hairpin, she proudly adjusted it again, shaking her head for her inspection.
“How about that? Isn’t this wooden hairpin beautiful?”
“It is very beautiful,” Liu Sisi instinctively nodded in agreent.
This wooden hairpin looked plain and unadorned, with no decorations whatsoever. Although practical, when inserted amidst the heap of pearls and jades on Xing Pan’er’s head, it looked awkward no matter how one looked at it.
“This is the Crown Prince’s most cherished possession, and he has given it to . Do you know what that ans?”
The madness in Xing Pan’er’s eyes deepened.
“This… this is your private chamber’s delight, I, as your younger sister, should not ddle in such affairs.”
Xing Pan’er must be sick, and not mildly at that!
At present, the only option seed to be to go along with what the other person was saying and take one step at a ti!
No matter what, she had to hold on until Ye Lei ca to rescue her.
Wait a minute!
Didn’t she utterly loathe that bastard Di Yelei? Why was she still thinking about him at this mont?
She began to despise this side of herself.
“Private chamber’s delight, private chamber’s delight! Private chamber’s delight…”
Xing Pan’er, gritting her teeth and with a face growing increasingly sinister, suddenly pulled the wooden hairpin from her head, waving it in her hand as she charged at her, bellowing in rage!
“Don’t think I don’t know that this hairpin is yours! You wretch! You even seduce your own elder brother, ugh! Shaless hussy, I, Xing Pan’er, am here to take your life today. Co and face your death!”
She suddenly charged forward, aiming straight for Liu Sisi’s heart with the hairpin.
This wooden hairpin was hers? How could that be possible!
Liu Sisi was slightly startled and quickly dodged. Beside her, Xue Yi let out an alard cry and rushed forward to block: “No, don’t!”
The scene imdiately descended into chaos.
The small disturbance at the bottom of the cabin was completely drowned out by the fierce fighting noises from the deck and the rest of the cabin.
The various groups of people still moving around on the deck suddenly began to fight amongst themselves.
The target of these groups, naturally, were Di Yelei and his followers. Although Di Yelei’s n were on guard, they could not overco the inconvenience caused by the cramped space. Plus, their opponents had waited for them to enter the narrow space of the cabin before striking. In just a mont, they had already lost the lives of more than a dozen brothers.
These were all his carefully chosen elites! Di Yelei’s heart ached, and his eyes imdiately reddened with anger.
“Show no rcy, kill! Kill them all!”
At his command, the lee erupted once again. As the battle progressed, both the enemy and his own n beca bloodthirsty. Everyone outside their group beca a target.
Amidst the turmoil, a group of n quietly circled from the side and rushed straight for the entrance to the bottom of the cabin.
“Not good! Hurry and stop them over there!”
Di Yelei swept his big blade horizontally, cutting down two n in front of him. Without moving a step, another four fearless n lunged at him.
This ti, Di Yelei could see clearly that those who ca to block him seed to practice martial arts not of this group, but rather moves very much like those of the Xixia Country.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind—could it be…?
Several followers, following orders, dived toward the entrance to the bottom of the cabin, quickly becoming entangled with the opponent’s horsen. Other followers gathered beside him, trying to help lighten his load.
“Don’t worry about ! Hurry and stop them, go now! Go!”
He roared in anger! Blood was splattered all over his face and body, turning his eyes completely bloodshot. His big blade kept flying, turning everything in its path into a blur of flesh and blood.
The narrow corridor gave their opponents the advantage, yet he was still held at bay by waves of relentless blockers.
