594 Giving a Beauty a Flower (5)
“Who are you?” Princess Ming An said angrily, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m the princess of the State of Qin. With a word from me, I can kill all of you!”
Hearing this, the man in black paused for a moment and chuckled. Even though his face was hidden by the cloth, Xie Changwu and Princess Ming An seemed to be able to see the mockery on his face through the cloth.
Princess Ming An’s face turned red. She had never been looked down on like this before. However, she was a little puzzled. She felt that this person’s voice was familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. She asked, “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at you for overestimating yourself.”
“You!” Princess Ming An was furious.
“You are just a princess.” The person’s voice was pleasant, but his words were malicious. “If you die, you’ll just be a pile of bones.”
“How dare you!” Princess Ming An shouted.
“What can you do about it?” That person said calmly.
Princess Ming An was stunned. In a flash, she suddenly thought of someone. That person also had a mesmerizing voice. She looked up. His face was covered by a cloth, but his eyes were as intoxicating as wine.
“You are… Prince Rui!” Princess Ming An cried out.
Prince Rui? Xie Changwu suddenly looked at the man in black. He also felt that this man in black gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, he did not expect him to be Prince Rui.
The man in black did not admit or deny it. Xie Changwu hesitated for a moment and asked, “Prince Rui, why are you here?”
No matter how hard Xie Changwu thought about it, he could not figure out why Prince Rui was here. After all, Prince Rui was not associated with him at all and did not seem to have anything to do with Princess Ming An either. Then why was he here? What did he want to do?
Ever since Princess Ming An recognized the person in front of her as Prince Rui, the fear from before dissipated. In the blink of an eye, her voice turned soft as she asked gently, “Prince Rui, why are you here so late at night?”
Xie Changwu felt that Princess Ming An was really stupid. Since he had already killed the guards they brought, he was obviously not here to chat with them. Moreover, Prince Rui gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. Xie Changwu’s heart trembled.
Prince Rui ignored Princess Ming An and looked at Xie Changwu. “You seem to have something to ask me?”
Xie Changwu forced a smile and said, “Your Highness, have you seen my brother?”
That letter was written by Xie Changchao, but the person who came was Prince Rui. Could it be that Xie Changchao was kept in captivity by Prince Rui? What grudge did Xie Changchao have with Prince Rui?
The man in black smiled. “Yes.”
Xie Changwu widened his eyes. “He…”
“I killed him.”
As soon as he said that, Princess Ming An and Xie Changwu were stunned and couldn’t help but shiver.
After a long pause, Xie Changwu asked, “Why does Prince Rui want to kill my brother?”
“He provoked someone he shouldn’t have.”
Provoked someone he shouldn’t have? Xie Changwu was puzzled. Who? Could it be Shen Miao? The only person Xie Changchao had offended now was Shen Miao. However, why did Prince Rui stand up for Shen Miao? What kind of relationship did Prince Rui have with the Shen family? Xie Changwu felt as if he had seen the tip of the iceberg of a shocking secret, but because he couldn’t see the full picture, his mind was in a mess.
