My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 77 - is indeed a pleasant surprise for me

But because she wanted to appear sympathetic, she had said she wanted to take it in.

It was also because of this matter, she felt she must be very special to the Crown Prince.

Otherwise, why would he agree to take in an animal just because she mentioned it?

Just as Liu Shuxin was still feeling joyful and emotional, Yan Xiao’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his slender fingers gripped the cat’s neck.

With a yowl, the cat’s neck was torn open.

Blood splattered, soiling his face.

He merely snorted coldly, lifting his hand, slowly wiping the bloodstain with the clean side.

This scene terrified Liu Shuxin.

Her face turned ashen, and she stumbled a few steps backwards.

“Crown Prince, you…”

“I have kept this black cat for five years, but it has grown old and useless recently, and often disobeys me.

So, I have killed it; do you think I did the right thing?”

Yan Xiao slowly stood up, his pure white robe stained with cat’s blood, strikingly offensive to the eye.

He glared at Liu Shuxin, his voice cold and deliberate as he spoke.

“Crown Prince, I, I…” Liu Shuxin’s eyes reddened, her voice trembling, struggling to speak.

Having known him for so many years, she had always been aware that his disposition was not as gentle and refined as it appeared, but she never expected him to be like this.

“I took in this black cat; guess why?”

Seeing her so frightened, Yan Xiao actually smiled, and he asked another deep question.

Liu Shuxin clenched her fingers, stammering, “Is it because you, Crown Prince, you like black cats?”

“No, I was merely curious to see how long it would take to tame an animal,” Yan Xiao’s eyes flashed with a sinister gleam.

Tame, tame an animal?

Locking eyes with Yan Xiao, Liu Shuxin felt a chill through her body.

She suddenly had a thought that perhaps…

in his eyes, she was also just an animal?

The thought had barely emerged when she felt her hands and feet go cold, and her entire being seemed on the verge of losing her voice.

“I told you five years ago not to meddle with Chu Baihan, but you wouldn’t listen.

Just a few days ago, I also told you not to harm Nan Baihan.

Why are you so disobedient?”

Yan Xiao spoke these words as he stepped toward Liu Shuxin.

His footsteps were not heavy, but Liu Shuxin felt each step press against her heart, leaving her breathless.

“Crown Prince, the accident with Nan Baihan today wasn’t my doing; I didn’t do anything; I truly did nothing.”

She hastily knelt down, disregarding the pebbles bruising her knees, unable to stop bowing her head repeatedly.

She had always thought she was special to him, but today she realized, she was no more than an animal he had tamed.

If she didn’t bow her head, she was going to lose her life.

“Oh?

You didn’t lay hands on her today, so how come I have heard that she is unconscious?”

Yan Xiao lifted Liu Shuxin’s chin with his finger, the fresh blood on his fingertip leaving a deep mark on her jaw, yet none of this was as frightening as the coldness in his eyes.

Liu Shuxin’s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice quivering, “It’s true, it wasn’t me.

I don’t know how she suddenly fell into the lake and then had an accident.”

“I told you before not to cry in front of me; why can’t you remember?

Is it necessary for me to gouge out those eyes of yours?”

Watching the tears whirl in Liu Shuxin’s eyes, his voice suddenly turned cold.

“I, I won’t cry.” Liu Shuxin could only force her tears back with great effort.

“Get out.”

Withdrawing his hand, Yan Xiao spoke in a cold voice.

“Yes, yes, Crown Prince, I’ll leave right away.” Liu Shuxin’s body was shaking like a sieve, and she shakily retreated from the Eastern Palace.

She had initially come today to ask him to take revenge for her, but she didn’t expect…

All his indulgence towards her over the years was a joke.

Liu Shuxin left, and a shadow emerged from the darkness.

“Crown Prince, do you need your subordinate to investigate who actually attacked Nan Baihan?”

“There’s no need,” Yan Xiao said expressionlessly.

No need?

The Hidden Guard frowned.

Was the Crown Prince deciding not to deal with the Nanduan Kingdom’s Princess’s matter?

As if he could see right through the Hidden Guard’s confusion, Yan Xiao continued in a low voice, “This palace knows who the assassin is.”

The Crown Prince knows?

The Hidden Guard was even more shocked.

Yan Xiao looked down, beside him was a chessboard.

The black pieces had surrounded the white pieces, and no matter where the white pieces moved, it was a dead end.

“Wuli, how do you suppose these white pieces could win?” Yan Xiao glanced at the Hidden Guard and then posed the question.

Wuli shook his head, then answered seriously, “The white pieces are sure to lose.”

“Not necessarily.

If the black pieces were the white’s from the very beginning, there would be no losing scenario on this chessboard,” Yan Xiao huffed coldly, then drawled.

He raised his hand and scrambled the chessboard.

Watching the chaos of black and white pieces, a strange gleam flickered in his eyes, “Chu Baihan, this move of yours, it truly surprises this palace.”

…

Late at night.

In the Sky Prison, the women of the Chu Family huddled together, shivering.

Chu You scratched her face while complaining, “Mother, when will father come to save us?”

“Stay calm, your father must be trying to find a way out there,” Jiang’s mother glanced at her and said sternly.

“But I really can’t stand it in this Sky Prison anymore, my face is so itchy,” Chu You continued to wail.

“How could our Chu Family be involved with the Princess’s incident, are we really going to die here?”

Not far away, the concubines and concubine daughters started crying and coughing.

“Shut up.” Jiang’s mother, annoyed by the noise, scolded them loudly.

Startled by her tone, everyone fell silent.

“Youyou, don’t worry, even if your father can’t save us, we still have your brother.

Your brother’s master is no ordinary man,” Jiang’s mother continued to whisper to Chu You.

It was only then that Chu You remembered.

Right, she had almost forgotten the brother who had left home for so many years.

With him there, the Chu Family would never fall!

“Moreover, I have a secret that could ensure our safety if presented to His Majesty,” Jiang’s mother continued in a low voice.

“Mother, what secret?” Chu You was confused.

“It’s about…

the secret of the Xu family.”

“The Xu family?

That dead woman, what does her business have to do with us!” Chu You muttered.

Jiang’s mother sneered, “What if her business were related to His Majesty?”
