Cut off my tendons in my hands and feet to make me marry? Prepare to die!

As night falls and the last rays of sunset fade away, warm lights have already lit up on both sides of the streets in Beijing.

On the bustling streets of the capital, a werewolf boy is quite eye-catching.

He was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes and had a fair and handsome face, but his physical weakness could not be concealed. His steps were slow and difficult, as if every step required tremendous effort.

The boy's eyes were silver-gray as he looked firmly ahead. The pair of furry ears on his head trembled slightly, as if he was listening to the sounds around him.

His figure seemed lonely and fragile in the crowd, and he might suddenly fall down at any time.

The lights from the shops on both sides shone on him, reflecting the luster on his brocade clothes, but also highlighting his haggardness.

His body was shaking slightly, as if he had reached his limit.

However, he did not stop. He struggled through the crowd and moved towards his goal.

Hold on, hold on a little longer. Xiaolou had told him in the letter that the third house from the outside in the Lihua Lane not far away was the private residence she had recently bought.

Hall walked along the way and asked many people for the location of Lihua Alley, and finally he arrived.

His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

It’s okay. When she sees Xiaolou, she will definitely find a way to save him.

Not far away, a pair of deep eyes watched Hall's back with interest as he walked away step by step.

A tall young man in black stood on the roof of the restaurant, holding a glass of wine and looking out the window.

The young man's black hair was slightly curly and casually draped behind him, adding a bit of unruly and free and easy style.

His facial features were as delicate as sculptures. Under his high nose bridge, his slightly pale lips were slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible teasing.

He looked thoughtfully at the werewolf boy on the street with a meaningful smile.

On the bustling streets, he was like a solitary black lotus, quietly blooming with his own light.

"Your Highness, that looks like Yue Ran's orc?" A guard with a serious face behind the young man reminded.

The young man did not turn around, and his eyes withdrew from Hall's back. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and looked in another direction.

Two ordinary-looking men were seen following from the direction where Hall came from. They looked like inconspicuous passers-by.

But the young man found that the two men kept their eyes on Hall, always keeping a distance that was far enough away to not lose him.

"Interesting, the capital of Da Chu is no less lively than Beiliang."

The young man's teasing voice reached the guards' ears.

His voice is full of unique charm like a magnet, like a feather scratching deep in people's hearts, making people feel itchy.

The guard was still very serious. His Highness found it interesting to see dogs fighting, so his emotions did not fluctuate at all.

"Your Highness, that orc looks badly injured. If I'm not mistaken, he seems to have been released from his contract."

The guard continued to speak.

He is just a ruthless analytical tool.

The young man nodded and raised his hand to drink the wine in the glass.

Although he was a hostage, after arriving in the capital of Da Chu, he and his two brothers each lived in a house arranged by the Da Chu government. Except for not being able to leave the capital, there were no restrictions on their movements.

These past few days he had been wandering around the capital with his guards, and unexpectedly he seemed to have discovered something very interesting.

The two countries had just made peace, and the commander of the Great Chu abandoned his contracted orcs. There must be something interesting behind this.

"It's no big deal to watch the fun, Lada, let's go and take a look too!"

The young man in black took long steps and walked downstairs, walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. In the blink of an eye, he was already downstairs.

The guard Rada followed closely behind with a calm face.

The third house in Lihua Lane.

Chu Hantian sat under the pear tree in the courtyard, looking at Feng Xiaolou playing the guqin in front of him, his eyes softer than the moonlight.

Ever since Yue Ran unilaterally broke his contract with the werewolf Hall, the most critical step of his original plan was disrupted, and he was in a very unhappy mood.

Today he came to Lihua Lane, and after listening to Feng Xiaolou playing a few songs, his anxious mood was relieved.

Feng Xiaolou was wearing a light blue men's robe with the collar slightly open, revealing his white neck and collarbone with graceful lines like a poem.

A black belt tied around her waist further highlights her slender waist and chic demeanor.

Her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, simple and neat, and her crystal clear and delicate face made her look like a fairy concubine.

Chu Hantian's eyes were full of admiration.

This is the girl that he holds dearest to his heart.

Only Xiaolou's noble character is worthy of him, the future monarch.

As for that fierce woman Yue Ran...

Chu Hantian's eyes became dark and gloomy again.

After court was dismissed yesterday, he had tentatively proposed to his father whether Yue Ran could be taken as a concubine in the Eastern Palace.

His position as the principal wife must remain vacant and can only be left to Xiaolou in the future.

The emperor did not say anything at that time, but just looked at him with a smile for a long time, until his back was sweating and he said he had crossed the line, then the emperor let him leave.

My father never mentioned a word about Yue Ran's marriage.

What does this mean?

This means that the emperor does not want him to control the Dingbei Army and would rather let a woman continue to control the army.

Chu Hantian clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Although his father had already appointed him as the crown prince, he was wary that he would become too powerful and pose a threat to his imperial power.

Old thing, you’ve been the emperor for almost twenty years, and you’re still not satisfied?

This world will be his sooner or later.

Yue Ran's situation made him even more uneasy.

Chu Hantian did not intend to give up on bringing Yue Ran into the Eastern Palace.

These days I have to have some fun with her.

But the woman had in her hand the imperial decree from her father himself, allowing her to choose her own marriage.

If he gets close to Yue Ran, she will become more greedy and want to become the Crown Prince's wife. Wouldn't that be even more unfair to Xiaolou?

In the end, it's all the fault of that loser Hall. Over the years, he has repeatedly exaggerated in his letters to Xiaolou how much Yue Ran values ​​him and is not on guard against him.

This misinformation led him to make a completely wrong plan.

Fortunately, he has not taken action against his father yet, otherwise his father would have the Dingbei Army in his hands, and he would not have the confidence to control the entire court.

He cannot act rashly before getting rid of Yue Ran.

There was suddenly a slight noise in the front yard.

Feng Xiaolou's piano playing suddenly stopped.

Chu Hantian frowned and looked towards the front yard.

This courtyard is a private residence purchased in the name of Feng Xiaolou. There are usually no visitors here. Who would be outside at this time?

Feng Xiaolou listened attentively, her eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at Chu Hantian:

"Your Highness, judging from the noise, it should be Hall."

Chu Hantian's eyes were slightly cold.

It turned out to be that rubbish!

He was still looking for this orc to settle the score, but he didn't expect Hall to come to him on his own initiative.

"If he hadn't lied, how could he have led me to this point?"

Now that he was here, he might as well kill the orc to vent his anger.

Feng Xiaolou sensed the murderous intent in Chu Hantian's eyes. She cleared her throat and said:

"Your Highness, although Hall was unilaterally released from his contract, he has been with Yue Ran for many years and knows Yue Ran better than anyone else. Keeping him here will still be useful to Your Highness."

What's more, she had finally cultivated a chess piece who was completely loyal to her, so how could she give up so easily?

She had to get the most out of Hall.
