Once she got on the carriage, Ji Yunkai kept urging the coachman to hurry up.… Arriving at Prince Yanbei's Mansion in the shortest time possible, without waiting for the carriage to stop, Ji Yunkai jumped down from the carriage and ran toward Frigid Water Hall without stopping.

"I want to see His Highness. Is His Highness free right now?" It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky. Ji Yunkai ran all the way over, sweating profusely and looking very miserable.

"Go and ask first, I'll wait for you." Ji Yunkai took out a handkerchief and wiped the perspiration off of her face.

Ji Yunkai heaved a sigh of relief, patted her chest and walked in.

To be honest, she was a little afraid of Xiao Jiu'an. That man was too capricious and unpredictable, and when she fought with him, she was completely at a disadvantage.

"Your Highness." Xiao Jiu'an leaned against the headboard of the bed, wearing a coat, looking weak.

"What is it?" Xiao Jiu'an glanced at Ji Yunkai and saw her hair in a mess, her entire face was covered in perspiration and he frowned in disdain.

"Your Highness, I met the Son of Prince Duan in the palace today."

"The Prince told me that the people in our house have misunderstood his relationship with me, so he asked me to explain it to you." These were the words that Ji Yunkai had thought of while they were on the road, and it was unknown whether or not they would make Xiao Jiu'an unhappy.

"What's your relationship with him?" Xiao Jiu'an raised his eyes and coldly looked at Ji Yunkai, and accidentally saw the red mark on her neck, Xiao Jiu'an squinted, and with a cold expression he waved at Ji Yunkai: "Come over."

"Huh?" Ji Yunkai was startled. She felt an inexplicable sense of danger and could not help but want to retreat.

"Ji Yunkai, don't let This King say it a second time." In an instant, the temperature around Xiao Jiu'an plummeted.

Ji Yunkai shuddered, hesitated for a moment, then clenched her teeth and walked forward to stand beside Xiao Jiu'an's bed. She explained with a face full of sincerity: "Your Highness, I am not related to the Son of Prince Duan in any way."

"Take another step forward and bend down." Xiao Jiu'an waved his hand, his posture making it seem as if he was teasing a puppy.

Ji Yunkai clenched her teeth, took another step forward, and pressed the tip of her shoes against the bed.

As she got closer, Xiao Jiu'an could clearly see the marks on Ji Yunkai's neck. And it was not just in a single spot.

"What's going on?" Xiao Jiu'an reached out his hand, and pressed his finger on the kiss mark on Ji Yunkai's neck.

"What?" Ji Yunkai could not think at this moment, and looked at Xiao Jiu'an blankly.

"Who left that hickey on your neck?" Seeing that Ji Yunkai was pretending to be stupid, Xiao Jiu'an was even more unhappy and tore her clothes.

"AHH!" Ji Yunkai screamed as she hugged himself instinctively and retreated a few steps. "Your Highness, what are you doing!?"

"Very good, not only is it on the neck, there's also something on the body! It seems like not only is This King's wife has ruined her face, but her body is ruined as well." The marks on Ji Yunkai's shoulder and chest had completely enraged him.

He could accept Ji Yunkai having their marriage annulled by the Emperor, but he definitely could not accept an unclean girl.

His wife, even if he did not like her, had to wholeheartedly belong to him.

"Prince, you're thinking too much. I made these marks myself." Ji Yunkai said snappily.

She was not afraid of what she had not done.

"Is This King that easy to deceive?" A cold light flashed in Xiao Jiu'an's eyes, the killing intent in them was exactly the same as last night when he was trying to kill Ji Yunkai.

You want to kill her?

Ji Yunkai is crazy.

Ji Yunkai was furious: "Xiao Jiu'an, that's enough! Don't put on a show of trying to kill me. What did I do? Why are you shouting and fighting , do you have nothing to do? So what if there are traces on my body? If you refuse to show your face, I wanted to prove to outsiders that you were awake last night. I wanted to prove to the emperor that your poison was detoxified. Besides that, what else can I do?"

She felt wronged as well, all right?

Xiao Jiu'an could have entered the palace today, but he chose not to.

"Are you trying to prove that This King is awake? To prove it this way?" It would be fine if Ji Yunkai did not say it, but when she said this to Xiao Jiu'an, he became even more angry: "How can This King be with a woman that is as ugly as you!"

Even though he was indifferent to women, how would he act against this ugly girl, Ji Yunkai?

"You, you …" Ji Yunkai was so angry that tears rolled down her face, but she could not find any words to refute.

Her face was filled with black spots, which was indeed pretty ugly, but did Xiao Jiu'an have to make things sound so bad?

It was as if she was being loathed for sending herself to his doorstep.

She, Ji Yunkai, was not that cheap!

"Ji Yunkai, you really are bold. You still have the face to cry after tarnishing This King's reputation!" Xiao Jiu'an was not Imperial Advisor Ji, so a woman's tears could not make his heart soften, nor could they make him feel any sympathy.

Ji Yunkai said angrily: "How did I discredit your reputation? If you marry me, do you have to share a bed with me? No matter how bad I am, or how ugly I am, I am still your wife, the Princess of Prince Yanbei's Mansion! Xiao Jiu'an, don't you dare act so good after getting so lucky. If you have the ability, drive me out of Prince Yanbei's Mansion right now!"

Xiao Jiu'an wanted her to appear, to hold up Prince Yanbei's Mansion, to block the wind and rain outside, yet he refused to recognize her identity. How could there be such a good thing in this world?

Xiao Jiu'an said in disdain, "Ji Yunkai, you think too highly of yourself. As long as This King speaks, any woman is willing to marry into This King's family." He had always been the one to threaten others, what did Ji Yunkai threats count as?

"Then speak! I want to see whether those women will fight for you, or fight for the power in your hands!" Ji Yunkai was furious, and shouted without care for her image: "Xiao Jiu'an, let me tell you, in all of Revelation, only Ji Yunkai will fight for you at this moment, and only I, Ji Yunkai, will not scheme against you for the sake of your family! Only I, Ji Yunkai, do you understand?"

After Ji Yunkai said this, her tears could not help but fall. "Ever since I married into Prince Yanbei's Mansion, I have been helping you clean up mess after mess. Why are you doing this?"

Wasn't the reason why Xiao Jiu'an bullied her like this was due to the Ji Family not supporting her? Because she could only rely on him?

She was too weak. Weak to the point that even if she were to jump out of the Ji Family, she could only be manipulated by others.
