Just then, the shadow returned again, and he came to report the news that Feng Ran was going to escape.
"She still wants to escape? Does she think she can escape?"
"At the ends of the earth, I will chase her down."
"Heh, without this prince's command, she can't escape even if she wants to."
"She's simply dreaming."
The man said through gritted teeth, his face ashen.
His hands were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to destroy everything in front of him.
Seeing Xuanyuan Heng's reaction, the shadow felt a hint of regret, wondering if he had done the right thing or the wrong thing.
The shadow followed behind Xuanyuan Heng.
"My Prince, perhaps your subordinate saw wrongly? This matter might truly be a misunderstanding?"
The shadow, seeing Xuanyuan Heng about to kill, felt a little scared. He even wondered if what he was doing was right or wrong.
However, he was even more afraid of what would happen if the Prince were to really act against Feng Ran. If he regretted it later, what then?
But Xuanyuan Heng, who was already on the verge of anger, paid no attention to such matters. He just wanted to find Feng Ran and tie her to his side.
When the shadow tried to follow, he realized his master had already vanished.
...
"Feng Ran, are you sure it's okay for you to go out like this? If the Prince finds out, he will surely misunderstand."
"Aunty Sheng, it's fine."
"Aunty Sheng, even if I don't do this, any small thing that happens to me will be my fault."
"Aunty Sheng, I'm already used to it."
Before Feng Ran could finish speaking, she was directly intercepted, her wrist held tightly.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you touch me..." Before Feng Ran could finish speaking, she turned and met Xuanyuan Heng's sinister gaze. The smile on her face vanished instantly, and her whole body trembled. Her hand was being pinched painfully, but facing Xuanyuan Heng, she still asked cautiously, "You... you... why are you here? How did you know I was here?"
At this moment, Feng Ran was already scared out of her wits.
"What? Should this prince not have appeared? Did my appearance disrupt all your plans?" The man's face was filled with malice, and a cold aura emanated from his body. He even released Feng Ran's hand and let it fall to her neck.
"No, it's not like that..."
"Not?" His slender fingers tightened, and with his other hand, he snatched the luggage from behind her, questioning in a cold voice, "You've brought everything, what else can you deny?" Hmph, if she hadn't brought anything, perhaps he would have believed her words a little, but now, he didn't believe her at all. He could say that he only believed what he saw with his own eyes.
"I..." She hesitated, but said nothing. How could Xuanyuan Heng, a man of such intelligence, not know?
"Feng Ran, you are truly remarkable. You fought with all your might to marry this prince and become the Princess of Xuanyuan. Now that the position is yours, you want to escape. Who gave you the courage?"
Feng Ran clenched her fists tightly. Yes, she had wanted to escape, and she had even kept it from Aunty Sheng.
"Return my things to me." Feng Ran's face was pale. "Xuanyuan Heng, please let me go, can you?"
"Now that I have nothing, I am no longer of any interest to you. Why do you still insist on harming me? Let me go, won't you?"
"Heh heh."
"Let you go?"
"Feng Ran, do you think this prince will let you go just because I keep you by my side and listen to your pleas?"
"Feng Ran, this prince was thinking that since you've been so obedient lately, perhaps I should let you go."
Feng Ran's eyes were filled with hope as she looked at Xuanyuan Heng, as if expecting something.
But the next moment, Xuanyuan Heng, like a demon, shattered all her hopes.
"However, Feng Ran, you have truly disappointed this prince."
"What you have done has truly made me see you in a new light."
"Your courage is indeed immense."
Xuanyuan Heng glanced at Aunty Sheng beside him and said coldly, "It seems Aunty Sheng is also your accomplice."
"This prince truly did not expect that Feng Ran, your skills in winning people over are so high that you have even won over the people this prince sent to be by your side."
"As expected, I have underestimated you."
"No, it's not like that. Xuanyuan Heng, Aunty Sheng knows nothing."
"I thought you wouldn't suspect me if I took Aunty Sheng out with me. I wanted to escape while Aunty Sheng helped me get the clothes."
"I know that Aunty Sheng will be punished if I do this, but I really have no choice."
"Xuanyuan Heng, truly, Aunty Sheng knows nothing. You cannot blame all this on Aunty Sheng."
"Aunty Sheng is the most innocent."
Xuanyuan Heng let out a cold snort after listening: "Feng Ran, do you think this prince will still believe your lies now?"
Hmph, even if she truly didn't know, since some things have already happened, they will lead to punishment.
But what Feng Ran didn't know was that the more she pleaded, the worse the outcome for Aunty Sheng would be.
In Xuanyuan Heng's eyes, Feng Ran could still think of others at this moment.
This made him feel extremely unhappy.
"Is that so?" Xuanyuan Heng's lips curved into a cold smile, and he scoffed, "Good, just as you say, Aunty Sheng knows nothing. However, Feng Ran, this prince will make you understand that because of you, Aunty Sheng has been implicated."
Feng Ran was already anxious. She reached up to her hair, pulled out her hairpin, and thrust it directly at Xuanyuan Heng: "Xuanyuan Heng, this... this is you forcing me, I don't want to..."
"My Prince..." The shadow, who had rushed over, tried to step forward to intervene when he saw this, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Heng.
It turned out that Feng Ran's dagger had not pierced Xuanyuan Heng's chest, and her hand was tightly grasped by Xuanyuan Heng.
Xuanyuan Heng took the hairpin down with his other hand and reinserted it into her hair.
Feng Ran was almost stunned.
She was even confused, not understanding what had happened.
Why was it like this?
Xuanyuan Heng held Feng Ran tightly in his embrace: "Feng Ran, do you really think this prince cannot see what you want to do?"
"This prince is not blind, but sees clearly."
