Zhao Yi burst into laughter, but suddenly he couldn't laugh anymore!
Zhao Yi forgot one thing.
He hasn't officially canceled the engagement.
The female lead is still nominally the future Sixth Prince Consort.
However, she is entangling with a monk in broad daylight in front of so many people.
If there were a mirror, Zhao Yi's reflection would definitely show a bright green!
According to Great Xia law, if an Imperial Consort is unclean, the Su Family should be executed.
Yet, neither the onlookers nor the Second Prince Zhao Mian watching the scene had any intention to stand up for Zhao Yi!
This is a sin!
Zhao Yi's face was looking very displeased.
From the reactions of those around, it was evident how much of a bootlicker he was before!
"Amitabha!"
While Zhao Yi was contemplating, he suddenly heard the male lead call out the Buddha's name.
Zhao Yi looked up and saw the male lead's indifferent expression, with anger filling his eyes as he stared at the female lead.
Zhao Yi frowned.
The male lead is planning to cut ties with the female lead.
How can this be allowed?
A scumbag and a cheap girl must be kept together!
Zhao Yi was about to speak when he suddenly heard a roar beside him: "What a pair of shameless adulterers!"
Zhao Yi: "..."
Who is this?
Why are they stealing his lines?
Turning around, he saw it was Huang Ying, and felt relieved!
Huang Ying is not only Zhao Yi's close maid and housekeeper, but also the Commander of Female Officials in the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
She indeed has the authority to issue commands on behalf of Zhao Yi!
Especially when it involves matters of the Sixth Prince's inner residence, if the Imperial Consort is unclean, Huang Ying can command her execution without issue!
When Zhao Yi entered from outside, many saw him.
Now seeing Huang Ying stand out, everyone's face showed an expression eager to watch a drama.
Huang Ying's face was livid, seemingly furious.
She pointed at the male and female leads angrily, shouting, "Someone, capture this pair of adulterers and put them in the Death Prison! I will have them skinned and dismembered!"
The royal power of Great Xia is supreme.
The Prince's status is noble.
Every Prince's mansion has a squad of Imperial Guard to protect it.
Upon hearing Huang Ying's order, a large number of Imperial Guards emerged from all directions, instantly surrounding the male and female leads.
The female lead was startled by the menacing Imperial Guard.
Even at this moment, she couldn't believe Zhao Yi dared to act against her!
The female lead withdrew her gaze from the male lead, turned to look at Zhao Yi, and her sorrowful and aggrieved expression vanished instantly, replaced by impatience.
"Zhao Yi, have you had enough of your antics?"
The female lead felt there's nothing wrong with pursuing her crush.
On the contrary.
Zhao Yi's persistent haunting made her extremely annoyed!
She glared at Zhao Yi, rebuking, "I've said it many times! I don't like you, I'll never like you in this lifetime! I'd rather marry pigs or dogs than marry you. Just give up!"
As soon as these words came out, the previously lively courtyard fell into dead silence.
The onlookers exchanged glances, their eyes on the female lead like they were looking at a dead person!
Granted marriage by the Emperor, marry if you wish, don't if you don't wish?
Who does she think she is?
The old Emperor is mad, not dead!
Moreover, the mad Emperor is ten thousand times more terrifying than at normal times!
Those quick to react are already starting to retreat.
Avoiding getting splattered with blood!
Second Prince Zhao Mian entered from the outside, striding forward.
He first glanced at Zhao Yi, seeing that he had no intention to stop Huang Ying, his lips curled into a sinister grin!
He's long disliked Su Qianqian!
The female lead is self-righteous, thinking money is dirty and looking down on those reeking of copper.
Second Prince often held banquets, and when guests brought gifts, the female lead claimed he's taking the opportunity to hoard wealth.
Out of respect for Zhao Yi, Zhao Mian was reluctant to argue with her.
But that doesn't mean Zhao Mian wasn't angry!
The Zhao clan has been tormented by the Mad Dragon Technique for over a thousand years; it's a miracle they aren't all twisted by it.
Expecting them to have good tempers is just wishful thinking!
Now, with a chance to kill the female lead, Zhao Mian certainly won't miss it!
Zhao Mian gave the female lead a deep cold stare, as if looking at a dead object.
"Very good! You're quite something!"
Zhao Mian said expressionlessly: "Marrying a chicken or a dog but not into the royal family?"
He nodded slightly, then waved his hand.
"The Su family's daughter has defied orders and insulted the imperial family! Su Changyuan and the Su family have failed in raising her properly, deceiving the emperor! According to the law, the entire family shall be executed!"
"People, throw the Su family's daughter into the Death Prison! Take this Prince's decree, arrest Su Changyuan and the Su family, and throw them into the Death Prison as well!"
"And this monk, seducing the Imperial Consort, his crime is unforgivable! Throw him into the Death Prison too!"
All the Imperial Guard responded loudly, agreeing in unison.
"Yes!"
Clang! Clang!
Several steel blades simultaneously rested on the necks of the female and male leads.
The male lead's expression changed drastically!
Just as he was about to counterattack, an old voice in his mind suddenly warned him.
"Do not strike! Zhao Mian's Mad Dragon Technique has already reached minor success, you won't last three moves against him, taking action will lead to certain death!"
The male lead's expression changed again: "Arhat Ancestor Master, even you can't handle it?"
The old voice said: "Back when I was alive, I naturally wasn't afraid of him, but now there's only a remnant soul of mine, and I can barely hold out for the time it takes a stick of incense to burn in his hands! Moreover, this is Shengjing City, even if I could help you escape this mansion, you'd still be hunted by Xuanzhen Temple!"
The male lead's expression was grim: "Is the Mad Dragon Technique truly that terrifying?"
The elderly voice was silent for a long time: "The terror of the Mad Dragon Technique is beyond doubt! I warned you before, until your skills reach Great Success, stay far away from the royal family of the Great Xia! Especially those insane royal offspring, the crazier they are, the more terrifying their strength!"
The male lead turned to look at the female lead beside him, gritting his teeth fiercely.
He growled, "I only wanted to retrieve that Dead Egg, I never intended to provoke the royal family of Great Xia, it was this vile woman who dragged me into this!"
The old voice said: "This woman has already become your Heart Demon, if this continues, you may have no choice but to exorcize it!"
A trace of ruthlessness appeared in the male lead's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Disciple obeys!"
A steel blade was pressed against the female lead's neck, the cold blade's edge causing goosebumps on her delicate skin, leaving her face pale and bloodless.
She widened her eyes at Zhao Yi, her face filled with disbelief.
The female lead couldn't believe Zhao Yi actually wanted to kill her!
No, it wasn't just her he wanted to kill, he wanted to annihilate her whole family.
The entire family executed!
The female lead finally realized.
Turns out, the person always by her side was never a harmless admirer.
But a ravenous wolf that devours without leaving bones!
Zhao Yi loves her, so he kept his claws hidden, making him seem harmless.
Now that Zhao Yi revealed his claws, the female lead suddenly realized how utterly vulnerable she was!
But even at this moment, the female lead still refused to bow her head in front of Zhao Yi.
She looked at Zhao Yi, stubbornly saying: "You can kill me, just don't harm my parents!"
Zhao Yi ignored her, instead turning his gaze to the male lead.
Although the male lead's expression was unpleasant, he neither escaped nor resisted.
This greatly disappointed Zhao Yi.
If the male lead took action, Zhao Yi would have them both injured, then let them escape!
Two injured people supporting each other could easily spark love between them!
This lousy couple would then be completely locked in!
Since the male lead didn't run, the play couldn't go on as planned.
Zhao Yi was still pondering when suddenly a clear and pleasant voice came from the door.
"Your Highnesses, spare their lives under the blades!"
The person moved quickly, almost arriving in front of Zhao Yi in the blink of an eye.
A fragrant breeze reached Zhao Yi's nose even before the person arrived.
The scent of jasmine!
In his previous life, Zhao Yi loved jasmine flowers, and this scent directly tickled the itch in his heart.
Zhao Yi looked up at the newcomer, a trace of amazement flickering in his eyes.
Zhao Yi had seen countless beauties.
The female lead, the maids Qing Feng and Huang Ying, all top beauties in Shengjing City.
But compared to the woman in front of him, the three women paled in comparison.
"Who are you?"
