Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1512: Vicious and domineering (19)

Xiao Ye covered the wound that was oozing warm blood, and suddenly turned around to look at the young man not far away.

The young man was followed by two guards. He took the stone handed to him by the guards, shook it in his hands, and said sarcastically:

"Hey, isn't this our Prince Xiao? What's wrong? Does your aunt not want you anymore?"

Originally, he was just confused about being hit suddenly.

But when he heard the other party's words, murderous intent flashed in his ink-like eyes.

"I've disliked you for a long time. You've been arrogant for too long, relying on your aunt's power. Now that your aunt doesn't want you anymore, you should suffer." Xiao Ye looked around and noticed someone following him. He was secretly happy: "Your Highness is just moving out of the palace, not not coming back. Are you sure you want to provoke me?"

"Have you forgotten what happened to Dai Ming?"

Thinking of the prince who was killed by Dai Ke with a sword, the Eighth Prince felt a little frightened, but thinking of his father's instructions, he became strong again.

"I dare to come here, it must be my aunt's permission, and who do you think you are? My aunt is just interested in you for a while, you really think you are a dish."

Xiao Ye was stunned: "Did Dai Ke allow it?"

The Eighth Prince did not answer and threw the stone in his hand at Xiao Ye again.

Seeing Xiao Ye evade quickly, the Eighth Prince ordered: "Catch him!"

Xiao Ye was restrained by someone. The Eighth Prince walked forward with a smile and kicked Xiao Ye hard in the abdomen.

The pain spread and Xiao Ye leaned back, but was pulled back by the guards.

Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and glared at the Eighth Prince, but what he received was a slap in the face that echoed throughout the entire palace corridor.

"You still dare to glare at this prince?"

The Eighth Prince grabbed Xiao Ye's hair, full of malice: "This prince has disliked you for a long time, don't even think about having an easy life in my hands!"

Xiao Ye tightened his jaw, realizing that the person in the dark had no intention of stopping him, and the light in his eyes gradually went out.

After the envoys from Sheng State entered the capital, the emperor announced that a banquet would be held in the evening to welcome them.

The banquet, which was just announced that day, caught the officials off guard.

Dai Ke pretended not to know about this. When she received the invitation, the banquet was about to start. When she arrived, the banquet hall was already full of ministers, except for the front rows on both sides.

"Your Highness, please come this way." The palace maid led Dai Ke to her seat.

Dai Ke sat down at the head of the left seat, and at the same time the ceremonial officer shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived, the envoy of Sheng State has arrived!"

The emperor and the envoy from Sheng State appeared together and had obviously been chatting for a long time.

Dai Ke looked at the group of people coming in. The girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old on the left side of the emperor was wearing a golden armor with her hair simply standing up. She had a murderous aura and her posture was straight and upright, and she really had the demeanor of a general.

When Dai Ke looked over, Wen Shu also looked at her.

Those sharp phoenix eyes contained murderous intent and resentment.

The two parties took their seats, and Wen Shu got straight to the point, saying, "This general came here to take His Highness the Seventeenth Prince back to Sheng State. For this, Sheng State is willing to offer three cities in exchange."

The emperor smiled and said, "The envoys from Sheng Kingdom have just arrived, so there is no rush to discuss these matters."

Wen Shu has always been decisive in killing people. She doesn't like the long progress of this kind of banquet, so she asked bluntly: "Where is our Seventeenth Prince now?"

"This..." The emperor looked at Dai Ke, "Ke'er, I entrusted Prince Xiao to your care before. Where is Prince Xiao now?"

Dai Ke pinched a grape and said, "It should be in Fengyu Palace."

When Wen Shu heard the word "should", her expression became even colder and sterner: "It seems that His Highness Anguo is not doing his best to take care of him. He doesn't even know where His Highness Seventeen is. If His Highness continues to stay in Chaotian Kingdom, our Sheng Kingdom will inevitably worry about His Highness's safety."

The emperor stepped in to smooth things over: "An Guo has been a little playful recently, but she is well taken care of. The young general does not need to worry."

"Someone, go and invite Prince Xiao here."

While waiting, the emperor said, "Let the envoys from Sheng Kingdom have a look at the dance of the beauties from Chaotian Kingdom."

Just as the ceremonial officer was about to call the dancer to the stage, Wen Shu interrupted him: "No need, after meeting our Seventeenth Prince, we will return to the post station to wait for good news from His Majesty."

This banquet was originally held in haste, and the ministers who were forced to attend had not informed the emperor in advance. There was no singing or dancing to ease the atmosphere, so they felt even more uncomfortable.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was frozen, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

He went to ask Xiao Ye's guard to come back and said something in the emperor's ear. The emperor's face changed, but quickly recovered.

"His Highness the Seventeenth Prince caught a cold two days ago and is currently resting in bed. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for him to meet with the envoys. How about we wait until he is better and then arrange a meeting for you?"

Hearing this, Wen Shu's heroic features became even more severe: "Your Majesty, is it that my prince is inconvenient to see people, or did you Chaotian Kingdom do something to my prince?"

"If we don't see His Highness the Seventeenth Prince today, we can only assume that His Highness has met with an accident in the Chaotian Palace. I will definitely report this matter that damages the friendship between the two countries back to Sheng State." Seeing that Wen Shu was getting more conflicted, the emperor could only look at Dai Ke with embarrassment.

Dai Ke was eating grapes sent as tribute by a vassal state when he felt several gazes cast upon him.

She continued to eat the fruit as if no one was around. Wen Shu saw the emperor giving Dai Ke a look and asked, "What does your majesty mean? Or is it that His Highness the Seventeenth Prince is in danger at the hands of Princess Anguo?"

Seeing that Dai Ke didn't look at him, the emperor deliberately asked, "An Guo, do you really want to invite Prince Xiao over?"

Wen Shu interrupted: "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. You invited our prince to meet the ministers of your own country. Do you still need to ask about a princess?"

The people of Sheng Kingdom may not be clear about this, but the people of Chaotian Kingdom all know that the only person who can really make decisions in this country is Dai Ke.

Dai Ke said nonchalantly: "Since General Wen wants to see Xiao Ye, then please go ahead. Why are you asking me?"

With Dai Ke's consent, the emperor's eyes flashed with success: "Go and invite Prince Xiao."

They said please come over, but not long after, two guards came in carrying a stretcher.

A person in a white dress was lying on a stretcher, his body covered with wounds, blood soaked through his snow-white clothes, and his exposed scars were hideous, making him look horrible.

Although he was wearing a skirt, it was not difficult to tell that he was a man from his broad shoulders and tall posture.

Dai Ke looked over calmly, his breathing stagnant for a moment.

She heard Zi Yi say that.

The Eighth Prince forced Xiao Ye to dance in women's clothes, and if he made the slightest mistake, he would be beaten with a stick.

If you displease the Eighth Prince, you will be severely beaten, thrown into the woodshed, deprived of water and starved.

In just a few days, Xiao Ye had become emaciated and looked like a skeleton. When Dai Ke heard Zi Yi's story, she could already imagine Xiao Ye's situation, but when she saw the real situation, she felt that the truth was even more heartbreaking.

But the decision was hers, so no matter how painful it was, she had to keep it to herself.

"Ano!"

After seeing Xiao Ye's miserable condition, Wen Shu no longer cared about her status and etiquette, and walked forward to check worriedly.
