“Your Imperial Highness… Your Imperial Highness!” The White King exclaimed in alarm and hurriedly gathered his garment and dashed towards the Wenying Pavilion. He feared that such scandal might become public, so he halted in his tracks and turned back to scold the others, “Wait outside! No one is allowed to enter!”

The White King raced towards Wenying Pavilion, trembling in his heart.

Today, he had everything arranged properly, and he was expecting the Crown Prince to have successfully appointed the Crown Princess, but to his surprise, something went wrong in the end! Xue Ying had always been soft and submissive; how could she have the guts to commit suicide? This is a family scandal and must not be spread to the ears of the public, but the Crown Prince has found out about it, what should he do now?

Seeing that both their father and the Crown Prince have left, the other three princesses blushed unhappily and exchanged glances with each other. Xue Ying had originally been the most favored of them all, yet because of the annulment of Crown Prince Shi Yu, she has also rapidly lost her father’s affection. They originally thought that competing with the other two sisters would be enough, but they never imagined that this would happen at the end of the day!

“I think, sister Xue Ying is doing this on purpose, am I right?” Xue Yan couldn’t help but frown, muttering somewhat annoyed, “Knowing clearly that the Crown Prince was coming today, she still cried and whined loudly to attract attention! It’s obvious that she hates Father for not giving her a chance, so she’s trying to find a way to push herself in.”

“Yes,” another princess snorted with a cold grin, “you’re not the only one with tricks up her sleeve.”

Xue Yan was stunned and blushed a little – when she was crossing the bridge earlier, she had deliberately arranged for her personal maid to pretend to lose her footing and fall into the water, so that she could have a chance to show off her skills. She thought she had done it seamlessly and no one else would have noticed. But it turned out that her sisters, despite keeping it a secret, had seen through her scheme after all.

“Don’t get too complacent.” The two sisters snorted coldly and walked past her, “The dinner and the singing and dancing haven’t even started yet, we still have to see who the Crown Prince will choose in the end.”

The Wenying Pavilion was deep and divided into three courtyards, with Xue Ying’s residence located at the far end. However, when the White King entered in three strides, he saw his daughter lying on a couch, breathing heavily, with blood dripping from her chest and a small knife falling at her feet, already shattered in two pieces.

Shi Ying was standing right beside her, pressing his hand to the wound, a faint purple color surging between his fingers, healing the ghastly wound at a rapid pace.

“This…” The White King froze, surprised for a moment not knowing what to say to smooth things out.

“I am sorry for being a step too late, I was still unable to stop your daughter in time.” While using his magic to heal Xue Ying’s wounds, Shi Ying added, “Fortunately, this stab didn’t hit any vital point, and it shouldn’t be a serious injury.”

“Well…” The White King was stunned for a moment, “Thank you, your Imperial Highness! I will immediately go and summon a doctor!”

“No need, I can heal this kind of injury quickly, why alarm outsiders and cause trouble.” Shi Ying checked Xue Ying’s pulse, and suddenly frowned, his eyes turning a little surprised, “Strange, this is…”

What’s wrong? The White King’s heart jumped, wondering what could be the problem, when Shi Ying suddenly turned his head to look at him, “Strange, White King, you obviously have four daughters, why did you only let me meet only three of them, but hide only this one?”

What? The White King was taken aback and his face turned slightly pale.

Although Xue Ying had not been formally enlisted as the Crown Prince’s concubine, she and Shi Yu had been intimate since childhood, a fact that no one in the Imperial Capital was unaware of, and I’m sure Shi Ying had known about it for a long time – now that Shi Yu was gone and the new Crown Prince had come to choose a concubine, it was only natural that she could not be sent out again, for reasons of rationality and principle. However, to hear the Crown Prince’s tone, he was blaming him?

The White King’s rear went cold and he hurriedly exclaimed, “Your Imperial Highness, my daughter Xue Ying has already been promised to the Purple King’s brother-in-law, so… that’s why she was not allowed to come out to meet His Highness.”

“Is that so?” Shi Ying frowned slightly, “Has the marriage proposal already been issued?”

“The marriage agreement has not been made yet,” the White King hastily shook his head, “only the engagement has been promised in the letter.”

“Oh, so it hasn’t been settled then? It cannot be confirmed.” Shi Ying said lightly, glancing back at the White King, “Does the White King think that the Purple King’s brother-in-law, who is nearly fifty years old, would be more suitable than me to be the son-in-law of the White Clan?”

“No… would dare not!” The White King was taken aback and shook his head fiercely, “How can he be compared to the Crown Prince?!”

“Then that’s it.” The tone of Shi Ying’s voice was still cold, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and he waved his hand, “In that case, why don’t we discuss it in detail.”

“This…” The White King was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to respond. However, Shi Ying frowned at the semi-conscious Princess Xue Ying and said, “I want to continue healing Princess Xue Ying’s injuries, please make yourself comfortable for the time being, King Bai – after healing Princess Xue Ying, she will be able to dine with us in the evening Hall.”

“…” The White King’s thoughts were in a state of confusion and he could only nod nervously.

What happened? The Crown Prince… has taken a particular fancy to Xue Ying? Was it because of a grudge that he had against his brother that he wants to steal her from Shi Yu? But no matter what, it is better to have selected Xue Ying than not to have picked one at all. This Crown Prince is really unpredictable… He has a tendency to be interested in his younger brother’s former love?

The White King withdrew, and his complexion turned a shade of blue.

When the White King left the room, Shi Ying cast a glance at Princess Xue Ying – in just a few moments, the wounds on her body were completely healed and not a drop of blood was left behind. He stretched out his fingertips and nudged a little on the forehead of Xue Ying. The pale noble maiden woke up at that sound and opened her eyes, somewhat bewildered for a moment upon seeing a stranger in front of her.

“Am I… alive or am I dead?” Xue Ying was breathing heavily, “You… who are you?”

“The person you hate the most.” Shi Ying replied faintly.

Xue Ying’s eyesight gradually became clear, and suddenly her entire body simply jolted!

“The Crown Prince? It is you!” Not knowing where the strength came from, she sat up swiftly and looked straight at the man in front of her, with rage burning in her eyes, “You… you are Shi Ying? You are the White Queen’s son?”

“Yes.” His voice was calm, not bothering to take offense from the girl’s rudeness.

Xue Ying’s voice trembled as she surveyed his entire outfit, “You… are the Crown Prince now?”

“Yes.” Shi Ying’s voice remained calm.

“You’ve gotten what you wanted, ah… you murderer!” Xue Ying could no longer hold back her shout, her fists clenched and her voice choked, “Give me back Shi Yu! You’re already the Crown Prince now… what else do you want from Shi Yu? I beg you, let him come back!”

“…” Shi Ying remained quiet for a moment, only lowering his head to survey her – this noble girl was extremely beautiful, her temperament was similar to that of an elegant orchid in an empty valley, and in terms of appearance she was even better than Zhu Yan, she appeared more gentle and refined. But now her eyes were full of anger, like a thunder!

“Shi Yu is not coming back.” His voice was cold, “Just give up on that hope.”

“What?” The trembling in Xue Ying’s body suddenly stopped and for a moment her pupils widened as she looked at him unable to speak, even her breathing stopped: “What did you… you say?”

“You don’t have to wait for him anymore.” Shi Ying’s tone was calm and did not show a trace of emotion, “My brother is dead, you have to plan for yourself properly from now on.”

“You bastard!” In that moment, Xue Ying jumped up recklessly, grabbed the knife stained with blood from the ground, and thrust it straight at Shi Ying while shouting!

However, Shi Ying just stood there looking at her, not moving.

With a quick swish, the knife stabbed into his heart, piercing straight through! In her fury, Xue Ying pulled up the knife and tried to stab him a second time, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks – the knife had struck him right in the heart, but there was no blood on the blade, and when she pulled it out, the wound disappeared instantly!
