Chapter 393: Zhu Rong Meddles
The magnificently decorated hall filled with at least a thousand people were silently watching the pitiful scream of the Princess Consort, sparing some whimpering of some of the women.
The long red curtains bellowed in the wind along with the rows of torches that flickered with the strong wind echoing the mood of the most powerful human in the history of all the five kingdoms who was currently held back by her man.
No one speaks up! No one is brave enough to stand up for what is right!
It was at that moment Xing realised why Prince Kang kept his wife at a distance. His marriage was arranged by their Emperor. Their Emperor is a lecher and is under constant suspicion that his brother will rebel against him. If he speaks up, it would only kine his suspicion and he would end up getting hurt dragging his wife along with him, although her fate would be worse considering how the Emperor is.
The moment he realises Prince Kang has feelings for his wife, he’d hurt Su Yunxi to humiliate Prince Kang and he’d lose all credibility in the court and won’t be able to keep his head high anymore.
But that won’t be the primary reason as far as Xing could say. It must be because he loves her too much to see her being humiliated in front of others.
And so her impression about Prince Kang skyrocketed in her heart.
By keeping her aside he is protecting her! That is noble! And that’s why he is careful in planning before he rebels. Because, if he gets caught or failed, Su Yunxi is going who gets hurt more.
Good work brother! She praised him in her heart. But the pitiful pleading voice resounding in the hall brought her back.
I don’t belong to this Kingdom and I can speak up!
"Let go, Chenglei", Xing tried to get out of the grip of Chenglei but he was glaring back at her gritting his teeth. Her arms hurt by his grip on her as she tried to get up but he held her tightly.
"You cannot be there", he hissed.
