On a winter night in the capital city of Yan State, the streets were deserted. Only the cold wind blew through the streets wantonly, making howls like evil spirits.
In the Prince's Palace of Bei'an, Shen Shu was wearing only a gauze skirt, lying on the bed like a piece of cargo, waiting for the arrival of the man who would control her destiny.
Not long after, the sound of the door opening sounded in her ears, and Feng Xue rushed in along with Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi noticed someone in the room almost instantly, but his expression didn't even change. He just slowly closed the door and took off his coat.
Shen Shu clutched the quilt with both hands. Thinking of the rumors in Beijing, she became extremely nervous.
It was rumored that King Bei'an had an unstable personality and a bad temper, and was the devil that everyone in the capital shunned.
At this moment, Lin Zhi coughed violently several times. The coughing sound was continuous, and it seemed to hammer her heart.
She became more nervous.
After a while, the man stopped coughing, and Shen Shu felt a little more relaxed.
After Lin Zhi coughed, he lowered his eyes to look at the slightly shaking quilt, and remembered what the secret guard reported to him before entering the door.
Tsk, such a young man dares to seduce him.
Instead, he was not in a hurry to catch people out. Instead of directly executing people, he preferred to torture them slowly.
So, he sat at the table again and slowly made tea.
The quilt was too thick and Shen Shu was already suffocated. The sound of water gurgling in her ears also made her anxious, but Lin Zhi couldn't come over.
She was always there to seduce people, so she just felt so heartbroken that she lifted the quilt and got up.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she lifted the quilt, she was faced with Lin Zhi's cold face.
"Who do you think I am? It's the prince's kitten." He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Shu's chin, slowly approaching her, looking at her eyebrows and smelling her scent.
The girl in front of her was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her facial features were not too long yet, but her peach blossom eyes were already somewhat charming.
If such a face were to grow, it would definitely be a disaster for the country and the people. It's a pity... Now that it's in his hands, I'm afraid it won't grow again.
Because his expression was so gloomy, Shen Shu was so frightened by him that she could not speak.
He pressed against Shen Shu's neck, his posture was obviously too ambiguous, but the words he said made people feel as cold as if they were about to fall into hell, "Since the prince can't discipline his own kitten, how about letting me discipline it?"
"I heard that to deal with a disobedient kitten that likes to run around, you need to break its legs and saw its tendons so that it won't run around when it is sent back."
His tone was serious. Shen Shu was so frightened that she trembled all over, but she still tried to calm herself down. She remembered what Auntie Xi had taught her, and boldly hooked his neck.
"Your Majesty, I am not a running around kitten. I...I really want to devote myself to Your Majesty."
"I...I don't like His Highness the Crown Prince, I only like the Prince." She tried her best to press her body against Lin Zhi's, but Lin Zhi's body was too cold, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Tsk, he's still a lying kitten." Lin Zhi looked at her coldly, "A lying kitten should..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Shu hurriedly said, "No..."
"Should..." he continued.
Shen Shu was afraid that he would say something scary again, so she reached out her hand to cover his lips.
The next moment, she was shocked that she actually had the courage to cover Lin Zhi's lips!
She couldn't even cover it up, so she could only beg him in a low voice, "Your Majesty..."
He was cold, even his lips were cold, which made her tremble a little, "Don't do that to me..."
Lin Zhi sneered, as if he was laughing at her stupidity. He stood up slightly and continued to speak, "Kittens who love lying should cut off their tongues and soak them in wine, so that they will never lie again."
"Don't..." Shen Shu hurriedly grabbed his clothes, "My lord, please."
It's just that the man in front of her didn't show any sympathy for her, he just looked at her coldly, like a god looking down on all living beings.
Shen Shu could only use her trump card.
She slowly approached him and spoke seriously.
"I know that the prince does not like the prince. I am the prince's fiancée. If the prince accepts me, the prince will be disgraced in the capital. The prince can use me to humiliate the prince at will."
I went to beg him again, "Your Majesty, as long as you keep me, I can do whatever you want..."
But he didn't expect that the next moment, Lin Zhi's big hands were already pinching Shen Shu's neck. The woman in front of him was so fragile that he could kill her with just one force.
"You have already inquired about the affairs between me and the prince. A scheming kitten like you cannot be kept here."
There was a smile on his face, but his expression was so cold that it made people shudder.
She wanted to struggle again, so she hurriedly grabbed his wrist, "I didn't inquire specifically, the prince told me! Your Majesty! I have ten thousand ways to make the prince unhappy!"
The man showed no mercy and strangled her neck harder.
Shen Shu's face turned red from being pinched and she had difficulty breathing.
Just when she thought she was about to die, the man suddenly coughed violently and his hand loosened.
Shen Shu hurriedly covered her neck and coughed violently. When she finished coughing, Lin Zhi was still coughing.
He coughed so hard that her heart trembled, and blood could still be faintly seen on the veil covering her lips.
She was startled and couldn't help but think, if she is so frail and sick, do you still want to strangle her to death?
Although according to the original plot, Lin Zhi will survive and become the regent.
But at this time, his cough was so serious that she was really afraid that he would cough to death in front of her, so she thought for a moment and boldly reached out her hand to touch his back.
With the poison in hand, Lin Zhi subconsciously wanted to kill her, but the action was too gentle, and it actually made his cough better.
Shen Shu quickly helped him sit on the bed, and his face turned red from coughing. Shen Shu hurriedly went down to the ground to get the tea he had just made and handed it to him.
Lin Zhi looked at the hot tea with a strange expression, but still took a sip.
He had just coughed and was feeling weak. Shen Shu went to help him sit up on the bed, pursed her lips and said, "If the prince wants to kill me, he should wait until he is better."
Anyway, according to the plot of this sadistic novel, she should have been poisoned by the prince, mute her, blinded her, aborted her child, and was thrown into the cold palace and tortured to death for three years.
It was better to die in Lin Zhi's hands than to die in the hands of that perverted prince.
Lin Zhi raised his lifeless eyes and looked at her for a long time before he said, "That makes sense, then I owe you this life first."
Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that something might happen to him because he was really sick, so she asked, "Does the prince want to take off his clothes and rest for a while? Or does the prince have any medicine to take? Or I can call a doctor."
Lin Zhi raised his eyes to look at this carefree and nosy person, frowned, then took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a black pill from it, and drank it expressionlessly.
He didn't speak. After thinking for a moment, Shen Shu knelt down and took off his shoes, then raised her eyes to untie his clothes.
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at her hands moving back and forth between the straps. Those hands were fair and beautiful, the nails were trimmed just right, and the fingertips were still shining white.
She easily took off his coat, as if she had taken it off many times before.
Tsk.
interesting.
Still a prince.
He imagined the prince seeing his fiancée groveling in front of others, and suddenly smiled.
It seems that it would be good for this person to stay.
Shen Shu saw his pale and sick look, and thought of the coldness on his body, and couldn't help but ask, "Is the prince cold?"
The next moment, her chin was lifted by Lin Zhi, and she was forced to look directly at the other person. The other person slowly approached her and did not stop until his lips almost touched her face.
From such a close distance, Shen Shu could clearly smell the medicinal aroma on his body. The medicinal aroma was mixed with some masculine smell, which was not unpleasant.
Not only that, Lin Zhi also deliberately brought his lips to her ear, his breath hitting her ear, causing her body to tremble, "Leng, are you coming to warm my bed?"
