Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1502: Vicious and domineering (9)

Zhuifeng looked somewhat guilty and walked tremblingly in front of Dai Ke.

Snapped--

A crisp slap landed on Zhuifeng's face, leaving a red mark on his wheat-colored skin.

"You have been guarding outside the study room. Why did you wait until he was seriously injured before informing me?"

Dai Ke talked with Shen Anqing for quite a long time, and Xiao Ye’s injury was not caused in an instant.

Judging from Xiao Ye's appearance, he had suffered humiliation for at least two quarters of an hour. During this time, Zhuifeng had plenty of time to report to Dai Ke, but he didn't. Zhuifeng didn't report until the situation was about to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Zhuifeng lowered his head and said, "It was my fault."

Dai Ke slapped him again: "What I want to hear is not your admission of wrongdoing, but why!"

Zhuifeng is jealous of Xiaoye.

Although jealous Dai Ke is always harsh in words, he always cares about Xiao Ye and is partial to Xiao Ye in his actions.

If it were anyone else, even Shen Anqing, Zhuifeng would not be jealous.

But why did Xiao Ye, an inferior person like him, gain Dai Ke's favor?

It was this jealousy that made him unwilling to report it in time even though he was watching Xiao Ye being humiliated.

"I am afraid of disturbing the discussion between His Highness and Mr. Shen."

Pah - "You are a guard. You only need to do your duty and report to me in time. The rest is your turn to consider?"

"I won't do it again."

"roll!"

Xiao Ye stared at Dai Ke, feeling mixed emotions: "There's no need for you to turn against your guards because of me."

Dai Ke sneered, "I am teaching my subordinates a lesson. Don't flatter yourself. If he dares to delay reporting today, he will dare to disobey me tomorrow. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will always be lucky."

"Then why did you kill the prince?"

"To attack my people is disrespectful to me. I am just setting the rules."

Xiao Ye originally thought that Dai Ke cared about him, but after listening to what Dai Ke said, he realized that he was just being sentimental.

Sure enough, how could a born evil person like Dai Ke care about others? Dai Ke sat down. He was just angry, but when he calmed down, he felt his palms numbing with pain.

She turned over her palm and saw that her delicate skin was red and swollen.

"Go outside and get some snow to cool me down."

Xiao Ye took a piece of cloth and got some clean snow from outside.

Dai Ke spread out her hands, Xiao Ye held the back of her hands and placed the cloth wrapped in snow on her palms.

In the silence, he looked at Dai Ke.

There was a layer of tears in the girl's eyes, her mouth was pursed, and she looked like she was about to cry.

At this moment, Xiao Ye noticed Dai Ke's age.

In the past, I always thought that Dai Ke was a leader who held military power and was a powerful person at the top.

But Dai Ke was about the same age as him, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. At this moment, she showed her pampered and willful nature, which was somewhat... cute.

Realizing what he was thinking, he unconsciously increased the strength of his hands, causing Dai Ke to gasp.

"Do you want to hurt me to death?"

Dai Ke shouted and kicked him in the calf, staring at him angrily.

Xiao Ye clutched the cloth, and the melted snow water soaked his palms.

Dai Ke is such an arrogant person. It turns out that being cute is just an illusion.

"It was my fault that I didn't take the matter seriously. Your Highness, please calm down."

"Waste!" Dai Ke cursed and threw a bottle of medicine to Xiao Ye, "I don't need you anymore, go and treat your wound yourself."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."

Just after supervising Xiao Ye to drink the medicine, the eunuch beside the emperor came to report: "Your Highness, His Majesty asks you to go to the imperial study." Dai Ke warmed himself by the fire: "It's freezing cold, I don't want to go out. Since my brother wants to see me, please come to Fengyu Palace yourself."

The wind was howling outside, but the eunuch standing at the door broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Highness, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

How could he dare to take these words back?

Seeing the eunuch trembling, Dai Ke stood up and said, "Prepare the sedan chair."

The eunuch immediately ran to ask for a sedan chair, and Dai Ke pulled on a cloak and went out.

Seeing Zhuifeng catching up, Dai Ke looked at another guard and said, "Zhuihun, come with me to the imperial study."

"Yes!"

Zhuifeng stood there in a daze, feeling chilled to the bone.

Dai Ke's attitude clearly showed that he did not intend to use him again.

Xiao Ye felt bitter in his mouth after drinking the medicine. He changed his clothes and walked out of the room and went to the kitchen. Zhui Feng's suppressed emotions burst out when he saw Xiao Ye: "Don't think that His Highness cares about you."

Xiao Ye paused, and Zhui Feng continued, "Your Highness killed the prince, and this matter must be investigated. Anyway, Your Highness will not suffer the wrath of His Majesty. As for who will bear the consequences, I believe you know it in your heart."

"Your Highness seems to be saving you, but in fact he wants to use Your Majesty to kill you. If you kill yourself now, perhaps you can still keep your body intact."

Xiao Ye's first reaction was disbelief: "There's no reason for her to go through so much trouble to kill me."

If Dai Ke really wanted to kill him, he could have done it at any time. Why did he have to go through all this trouble today?

"Don't forget that you are the prince of Sheng State. You were handed over to Her Highness for custody as soon as you arrived. This is obviously a conspiracy of the emperor. After all, if anything happens to you in Her Highness's hands, she will definitely be held accountable by Sheng State."

"But if she defends you on the surface and then uses the emperor's anger to kill you, then it will have nothing to do with her."

"Besides, Her Highness is now interested in Mr. Shen. Do you think she will still protect you? The Emperor's men may come to arrest you soon."

Zhuifeng's mouth seemed to be enlightened, and two guards in silver armor stepped forward: "We are ordered to capture Xiao Ye. Please come with us, Prince Xiao."

Without giving Xiao Ye a chance to ask questions, two guards clamped Xiao Ye's shoulders from the left and right.

Royal study room.

As soon as Dai Ke came in, he heard a burst of crying.

The concubine, who was dressed elegantly, threw herself into the emperor's arms and sobbed, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for Ming'er!"

The emperor, who was only forty years old, already had gray hair and a worried look on his face.

Dai Ke came in with his hands behind his back and asked curiously, "I also want to know how my royal brother plans to help Concubine Li?" Seeing Dai Ke, Concubine Li wanted to strangle him to death, but she didn't dare to do so. She could only glare at Dai Ke secretly.

The emperor sighed and said, "Ke'er, you have gone too far this time. How could you kill your own nephew for a hostage?"

"It is a well-known fact that my royal brother has entrusted Xiao Ye to my sister's care, but Dai Ming still humiliates Xiao Ye in public. Isn't this harming my sister?"

"From what I have seen, Dai Ming clearly wants to severely injure Xiao Ye so that my brother will think that I have failed in my duty and thus alienate our relationship. So I think he should be killed."

The emperor was momentarily surprised at Dai Ke's eloquence.

In his impression, Dai Ke was just an ignorant, spoiled and willful princess. When did she have such an eloquent ability to confuse right and wrong?

Concubine Li shouted, "Ming'er is just young and ignorant. Besides, Xiao Ye is not dead, why do you want to take Ming'er's life?" Concubine Li cried, "Ming'er is my only child. If Ming'er dies, I don't want to live anymore."
