Chapter 759: Chapter 759: The Crown Prince’s Infatuation
Jiang Ning said, “Doesn’t concern you? Have you forgotten about Concubine Ya?”
“She is my biological sister. Even if she doesn’t help me harm you, she wouldn’t betray me. Even if she would betray me, she wouldn’t betray the entire Silla Kingdom,” said Prince Xinhai with absolute certainty.
“You are responsible for your actions, it has nothing to do with Silla.”
“How thoughtful of the Princess Consort,” Prince Xinhai stepped forward, gently stroking Jiang Ning’s face, his eyes filled with nothing but obsession and zeal. He murmured, “Your face, it’s a divine gift. The best painter in the world couldn’t fully capture one ten-thousandth of your beauty.”
He turned around to start searching for something.
Tied up and facing a lunatic, Jiang Ning was slightly nervous. So she asked, “What are you looking for?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“You will know soon.”
To her surprise, he took out a brush, paper, ink, and inkstone, set up the paper, and began to paint her.
Jiang Ning: “???”
Prince Xinhai, obsessed, looked at her: “After all, people age. I want to capture your unparalleled beauty and preserve it forever.”
“Will you let me go after you finish the drawing?”
“Princess Consort, you’re surprisingly innocent and adorable.” Prince Xinhai gave a faint smile, “Do you think I would go to these lengths just to draw a picture? Rest assured though, I won’t be brute or disrespectful towards you like I am towards other women. I want you to be my Princess Consort.”
“You sure can talk.”
“Don’t worry, once we reach Silla, no one will recognize you, and no one would know that you are the Princess Consort of Great Sheng. At that time, I will change your identity to that of a woman from Silla, and you can openly become my Princess Consort,” said Prince Xinhai enthusiastically, his hand never stopping from painting.
Jiang Ning sighed.
This immediately attracted Prince Xinhai’s attention: “What’s the matter?”
“If you were tied up, you wouldn’t feel comfortable either.”
“This is all my fault. I was so overjoyed at having you that I completely forgot.” Feeling guilty, Prince Xinhai immediately moved forward to untie the ropes on Jiang Ning’s hands and feet.
However, Jiang Ning’s brief moment of freedom ended almost instantly.
Prince Xinhai took out a refined golden chain, one end tied to Jiang Ning’s wrist and the other tied to his own.
He lifted his hand, shook the chain, and said proudly, “Now, we will never be apart. Are you happy, Princess Consort?”
Jiang Ning: Happy NMB.
All she could do was console herself. At least this was more comfortable than being tied up with hemp rope.
This Prince Xinhai was indeed a peculiar one. He kept painting until dawn.
With great gusto.
Jiang Ning just nodded off sitting in the chair.
As soon as it was getting light, a servant came in and whispered something into Prince Xinhai’s ear. He immediately dropped his brush, excitedly pulled Jiang Ning up, and while walking said, “We can set off now. I will take you back to Silla immediately.”
She was stuffed into a horse carriage.
Prince Xinhai also went in after her, looking at Jiang Ning with somewhat gloomy eyes.
Jiang Ning frowned.
Where the hell had Gufeng run off to? Why hadn’t he shown up yet?
Although it was important to make the act seem real, she didn’t want to hurt herself in the process.
Perhaps her call had been heard. Just as Prince Xinhai was about to kiss her, a thin silver needle pierced through the horse carriage, accurately hitting Prince Xinhai’s neck.
Prince Xinhai collapsed instantly.
Because they were chained together, Jiang Ning was jerked forward, causing a sharp pain in her wrist.
What do you think?
