Sure enough, some of the people lagging behind all fell down and couldn’t get up!

  This time nobody will be able to stop her!

  Long Hanyan quickly ran out, and while those people hadn’t returned, quickly ran towards the carriage……

  She had clearly made the determination! But when she really reached the front of the carriage, she hesitated again. Her face was blushing red and she seemed both giddy and afraid.

  If she really sent herself to him with the use of drugs, then, would Gong Jue……marry her?

  Would he marry her out of helplessness, or would she end up like that woman from earlier?

  She didn’t know why, but Long Hanyan suddenly thought about that woman who had been sent to the academy when they first met. That woman was crying so miserably and her eyes were filled with disbelief as she stared at Gong Jue. Then, that disbelief turned into panic, despair, and resentment!

  The moment she was pulled out of that door, the woman nearly burst into tears of blood!

  That shrill and hoarse voice sent chills down her back at that time!

  “Gong Jue! I’ll curse you so that you won’t have a good death! Curse you! You’ll never get what you want, and you’ll be miserable for the rest of your life! Your body will burn in hell when you die! Curse you!!”


  When Long Hanyan remembered those words, her fierce eyes showed a sense of hesitation.

  But when she saw the carriage right in front of her, her resolve hardened! She’s already come this far, it’s too late to go back!

  As she thought of that, she pulled open the curtains to the carriage!

  Gong Jue’s body was illuminated by the moonlight, but at this moment, he was not paralyzed from the smoke. His eyes were open and he was looking coldly at her.

  Long Hanyan’s eyes widened in horror! Then, before she could say anything, Gong Jue reached out and grabbed her neck!!

  “No……”


  Long Hanyan quickly tried to break out of his grasp with her hands, but that hand stayed on her neck like a steel beam. She opened her mouth again, but she could only let out a broken cry.

  What’s going on?! She’s a princess! How could he dare?! Though he never showed any fancy to her in the capital, he never wanted to kill her!

  At this moment, he was grabbing Long Hanyan’s neck with one hand as he slowly stood up from his sedan chair.

  His tall stature caused him to pull Long Hanyan’s feet right off the ground and caused her to sob in pain as she hung from her neck.

  From this angle where he looked at her, only half his face was illuminated by the light, causing that half of his face to appear as beautiful as an immortal, while the half that was hidden in the darkness held a mysterious air.

  This person was clearly a demon! He wasn’t anything like what she thought at all!!

  Unfortunately, it was too late for this realization. Long Hanyan’s eyes were rolling behind her head. She felt like she was going to die soon! He really didn’t have any hesitation to kill her!

  Why……Why? She only wanted to marry him!

  At this moment, a sudden gush of energy flew over! Gong Jue turned his body to the side and evaded it while Long Hanyan’s body fell into Qiu Xingfeng’s arms.

  God knows he had come to the capital just to find her, but he never expected to see her here. And also, someone was trying to kill her!

  With that, Qiu Xingfeng’s expression as he looked at Gong Jue was fierce with hatred. He was convinced that he must be a bad person!

  Long Hanyan coughed violently. As soon as she saw that the person who saved her was Qiu Xingfeng, she quickly grabbed onto him and cried.

  “Sob sob sob……Master……It hurts……My neck hurts……”


  Seeing her cry, Qiu Xingfeng became even angrier. “Who are you?! Why are you trying to kill my apprentice?!”


  But Gong Jue just stood in his carriage. He turned around, and because of the light from his back, his expression could not be seen. However, he could feel the probing of his eyes.

  This person……When he shot that burst to him earlier, that aura seemed similar to the martial arts he and his imperial sister practiced……
