Volume 2: Awakening Memories ☆ Light of Dawn Chapter 4: Edge of Rampage

  Nan Rong's gaze sank into the dark, dust-filled eyes, wanting to see something, but apart from that cold and unshakeable murderous intent, there was nothing.

  It's just as Liu Yiyi said, her dust is in his heart, but there's only that Yi Xincai.

  Ye Juechen's hand was clamped around her neck, showing no intention of loosening his grip, instead tightening it further. Nan Rong's eyes were narrowed in discomfort as she stared blankly at Ye Juechen, unsure what he was thinking. Her dark red face had a hint of stubbornness to it.

  "What's going on here? Which one of you can tell me?" The Empress Dowager Xuan Yuan's eyes twitched, not doubting for a moment that her son would lay hands on the Crown Princess.

  No matter what happened, she couldn't just watch the crown princess die at Ye Juechen's hands. If something really did happen, not only would it be impossible to explain to the emperor, but also to Crown Prince Ye Xiu.

  Although she wholeheartedly treated Ye Shou as her own, giving him motherly love that was not inferior to what she gave her own children, the child after all did not come from her womb. Her thoughts were heavy and after more than 20 years had passed, she still couldn't grasp Ye Shou's thoughts.

  For example, in those years he insisted on making Nan Rong Shallow as his crown princess, disregarding the fraternal bond between them.

  Xuanyuan Si's toes touched the ground, and her figure flashed to Xuanyuan Huanghou's side. She stuck close to her ear and said, "Auntie, something..."

  When the hunting at Jiuding Mountain began, he knew that his brother had a figure of Yixin in his heart, but he didn't know that Yixin was already important to Ye Juedu to an terrifying extent.

  As for his aunt, Xuan Yuan Si Chen didn't hesitate too much. From the first time she encountered an assassination attempt to this time's disappearance, although there was no direct evidence to prove that it was the Crown Prince's Consort's doing, all sorts of signs pointed towards the Crown Prince's Consort. To say that Nan Rong Shang Yu had nothing to do with it would be really hard to convince anyone.

  After hearing Xuan Yuan Si Cheng lower his voice, the face of Empress Xuan Yuan suddenly became very unsightly. Her eyes fluttered, but in the blink of an eye, her soft voice took on an unyielding imperial majesty: "All my sisters, please return to your respective palaces. I have some matters that require immediate attention."

  There are many women in the harem, and it is also the easiest place for rumors to spread. She has to be on guard.

  The identity of the crown princess is special, and Yixin's identity is even more special. This matter must be handled with great care and caution.

  "What the queen said, King Zhan pinched the crown prince's neck, it's about the royal dignity, how can we sisters avoid it?" De Fei stared at her bright red fingernails, completely disregarding the expulsion order issued by Empress Xuan Yuan.

  Each of the palace ladies has been living in the deep palace for a long time, and they are all clever people. Now that things have developed to this point, who would be willing to leave the Pepper Chamber? The emperor's favoritism towards the empress is not just one or two days old. They can see the joke of Empress Xuan Yuan, and they are 100% delighted.

  One is her biological son and the other is the crown prince's consort, both are flesh and blood to her, let's see how the fair and just Empress Xuan will handle this.

  Both sides were at a stalemate, and even the empress couldn't order the palace maids to be chased away. Sutu Luo Lan cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Dust, let go first, she's almost out of breath."

  "Jiǔ ér de xiāo xī hái yào cóng tā zuǐ lǐ zhī dào, nǐ bié zhēn qiā sǐ tā le." Nán Róng Mò chén yǎn pí měng tiào, tā shì zhēn de gǎn jué dào le Yè Jué Chén shēn shàng líng lì de shā yì.

  If Nan Rong's shallow words were cut off, even if he was a war king, he couldn't avoid stirring up an even bigger storm, which would be quite unfavorable to Ye Juechen.

  "Nan Rong, say it quickly! Where is Jiu Er?" Ye Yue Xiao grasped her hair with both hands, completely losing her princess demeanor, and was about to pounce on Nan Rong, who refused to speak.

  The noisy temple was even more lively than the vegetable market, and with the eunuch's sharp but trembling voice, it fell into a brief silence, and everyone's face was equally colorful.

  "The Queen of War Arrives——"

  One by one, the gazes converged on the open temple gate, a slender figure stepped out with delicate footsteps, and the golden sunlight fell on her straight back, as if she were a fairy from afar, so noble that people dared not look directly at her.

  Jiuer's eyes, which had been welling up with tears, suddenly stopped in their tracks as she saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face of Yixin. Tears rained down her face like a storm.

  The clothes on her body were exactly the same as the one she wore two days ago. At this moment, it was impossible to distinguish the original color of the clothes. The cracks opened one by one, and the crimson blood that should have been had long since dried up, leaving a dark red blood stain.

  Her face was extremely pale, and on her smooth right cheek, a long scratch of about six or seven centimeters in length, with the skin slightly turned outward, showing a dark red color that shocked at first sight.

  The woman was most concerned about her appearance, she thought that her beauty was unparalleled in the world, and under the heavens, there was probably no one who could surpass her. Her perfect face was ruined, and everyone in the Pepper Chamber couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air.

  "You deserve to die." Seeing Yixin's emotionless eyes, Ye Juedi's heart tightened, and his hand unconsciously strengthened, actually lifting Nan Rongshu's body up.

  "Her life is mine, you're not allowed to kill her."

  Her sweet and soft voice had a hint of coldness, her heart skipped a beat as she raised her eyes, and was swept by her pair of eyes that seemed like thousand-year-old mysterious ice, everyone hugged their arms and stroked up and down, what a frightening gaze.

  That chill ran straight from the soles of his feet up to his head, causing his entire body to shudder slightly.

  "Killing her would dirty your hands, let me take care of it instead." The innocent and naive girl suddenly transformed into this appearance, Night's heart felt as if it had been brutally torn in two, aching intensely.

  Heartless and ruthless, with a cheerful smile, that's her true self. Seeing her like this makes him feel both heartbroken and guilty.

  It was him, he didn't protect her well.

  "Rather than ending her life with one slash, I'd rather make her wish she were dead." Yixin's lips curled up into a bright and evil smile, his starry eyes locked onto Ye Jue's, neither of them backing down.

  Adorable with a tilted head, delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, pearly teeth gently biting red lips, don't know why there's an inexplicable sense of familiarity towards him.

  As she locked eyes with him, her thoughts gradually returned to the scene where she jumped over the wall and escaped in the alley. Her pride wouldn't allow her to be humiliated by anyone, even if it meant death.

  She jumped down from the high wall, her frail body was extremely exhausted, even though her face was scratched by branches, she didn't feel anything, only knowing to escape far away.

  She didn't know how long she had escaped or how far she had walked before waking up again in a farmhouse, where a young boy had found her and brought her back to his home. Due to poverty, it was impossible for them to call a doctor to treat her injuries, all they could do was simply stop the bleeding and save her life.

  One assassination attempt was not enough, and there was an even more shameful second one. The anger in Yixin's heart had truly ignited. On the way back to the Wang Fu, she fortunately encountered a third assassination attempt.

  She thought this time she would be unable to escape her fate, thinking that if she died like this, perhaps she could finally return home.

  Unfortunately, heaven did not give her such an opportunity. When the black-clothed assassin's long sword approached her, Yixin discovered that her body seemed to be out of her control, and some blurry yet clear images drilled into her mind.

  Those inconspicuous pebbles on the ground turned into deadly weapons in her hands.

  After settling those assassins, Yixin Zhan clutched the token given by Ye Huang and, covered in blood, entered the palace under the terrified gaze of the guards at the gate.

  At this moment, Yixin's heart is on the verge of exploding in anger, a fury that has been triggered by the trampling of her dignity. With just one glance, she exudes an aura of majesty, as if she were a queen looking down upon the world, and even the most overbearing ruler would have to avoid crossing her.

  Ye Jue's thin lips curled up slightly, his ink-colored eyes narrowed, and with a loosening of his grip, Nan Rong's body flew out like a kite that had lost its string, heavily crashing to the ground, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  "Her life is yours."

  Digression
