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

Hall's hands were firmly on the door, and the werewolf's savagery completely erupted:

"I'm Xiaolou's friend! She told me I could come here to see her anytime. Why won't you let me in?"

There is a blank plaque hanging on the door of the house in Lihua Lane. Feng Xiaolou does not come here often and only leaves a few servants to guard and clean the house.

But today was different. There was an ordinary-looking carriage parked in front of the private residence, and two gloomy-looking men with swords were guarding outside the door.

Hall finally found this place and was about to go over and knock on the door, but was pushed back hard by the two men.

"Private residence, no trespassing!"

The two of them didn't speak loudly, and they even lowered their voices deliberately.

But they were very determined to stop Hall.

Hall had been walking for most of the day and was completely exhausted. He was about to collapse at any time, but he was holding on with the determination to see Feng Xiaolou.

Who would have thought that when everyone reached the door, they were blocked by two strange people.

"You...you go and inform Xiaolou that Hall is here."

Hall's face was already pale, and his voice was trembling.

The two men looked at each other, with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

They recognized the werewolf boy as soon as he showed up.

On the day Yue Ran returned to the capital, they were actually guarding behind Chu Hantian, so they naturally knew Hall's identity.

Isn’t he the waste that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been angry about and mentioned many times in his study these days?

How could they treat with courtesy someone who is of no use to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Who is the person living in this private house in Lihua Lane? That person is the sweetheart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can he let a piece of trash in so easily?

One of them picked his ears and said with his eyelids rolled up:

"Who? Hall? Forgive my ignorance, I don't know him."

Hall was stunned and took a step back, enduring the pain all over his body, and looked at the two men carefully.

Are they the security guards hired by Xiaolou?

I guess it's because Xiaolou is usually cautious and has never mentioned himself to anyone.

If he wasn't really desperate, Hall wouldn't want to rashly contact Feng Xiaolou.

But if he can't find a place to stay, he will really be taken away by the wolf tribe.

An orc like him who was unilaterally abandoned by human nobles would only face suppression and confinement once he returned to his tribe.

By then he will never be able to see Xiaolou again, nor will he be able to help her realize her dream!

"I can't say too much, you just need to inform Xiaolou."

Hall's eyes went dark.

Why hasn’t Xiaolou come out to pick him up yet?

His legs were so weak that he could not stand, so he took a few steps forward to hold onto the door.

Another strong force pushed Hall down and he sat on the ground.

He looked up in shock and saw the disdain in the eyes of the two men.

A bad premonition came to his mind.

Could it be that Xiaolou dislikes him?

No, not possible!

He and Xiaolou have a common secret, and their friendship is truly life-long.

Hall went wild and stood up with strength he didn't know where he got it from, and rushed forward, actually knocking the two men off balance.

"If Xiaolou knew you were so rude to me, he would punish you severely!"

Hall leaned against the door, panting, glaring at the two men fiercely.

The two guards no longer had smiles on their faces. They nodded to each other and drew their swords at the same time.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Hall lost his balance and fell backwards.

Then he felt his back touch a soft body, and a pair of gentle hands held him firmly.

A light and sweet fragrance wafts into the air.

"Hall, I'm late, I'm sorry."

A soft voice also sounded in his ears.

Tears of grievance welled up in Hall's eyes. He turned his head to look at the pretty face that had been haunting him, and finally he could not hold on any longer and fainted.

Chu Hantian stood behind Feng Xiaolou, looking at Hall leaning on Feng Xiaolou with cold eyes, his stern eyes almost instantly burst into fire.

He winked, and two guards immediately stepped forward to take Hall.

Compared to Feng Xiaolou, the guards' actions were much rougher.

One of them lifted up his shoulders, the other lifted up his feet, and followed the servants in the private house to carry Hall all the way into the backyard.

The door of the private house closed gently.

At the entrance of Lihua Alley, two men with ordinary faces saw this and left quietly.

On a tall locust tree at the entrance of Lihua Lane, Beiliang guard Lada was stepping on branches with one foot high and one foot low, looking up at Murong Hui on the top of the tree with an expressionless face.

"Your Highness, now that we have seen the excitement, it is time for us to leave."

Murong Hui pursed his lips and smiled faintly. The moonlight shone through the tree branches and fell on his face, as if embellishing his face with a few gems.

He landed lightly on the ground with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction, and dusted off his robe in a dashing manner.

"This alley is nice, quiet and mysterious. It looks quiet, but there are actually a lot of people here."

The magnetic and mellow voice faded away with the wind, and in a blink of an eye, the streets of Lihua Lane were empty.

In the Dingbei Palace, Yue Ran and Dingbei King Yue Yuan were sitting in the study, listening to the reports of the two spies.

"The carriage outside the private residence in Lihua Lane looked inconspicuous, but when the door opened, we clearly saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing inside the door."

Yue Yuan listened quietly, stroking his increasingly thin arms with his hands, a dark look in his eyes.

The prince, Feng Xiaolou, and his daughter's contracted orc, Hall.

These people treated the father and daughter like fools and played them around.

In the final analysis, it was his fault. If he wasn't disabled, if he could have raised a useful son, how could he have let Ranran fall into such a dirty trap.

Yue Ran asked everyone to leave, turned to look at the gloomy King Dingbei, and waited until he calmed down before speaking:

"Father, given the current situation, I will speak frankly."

"Your Majesty is still confident in my father, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't wait any longer and wants to control the Dingbei Army in his own hands."

Yue Yuan sneered:

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life and can still rule the country for at least another ten years. The Crown Prince is so impatient, but he is not afraid of offending Your Majesty."

Speaking of His Majesty, Yue Yuan felt the same way.

Emperor Shengwen had many concubines in his harem, but not many of them could raise princes.

In addition to the Crown Prince Chu Hantian, born to the Queen, there is the Third Prince Chu Hanyun, born to Concubine De, and the Fifth Prince Chu Hanling, born to Concubine Yun, who has a lower rank.

The third prince's mother's family was backed by the Xilu Academy. He had great literary talent since childhood, but when he was ten years old, he fell into the water and suffered from heart palpitations.

The fifth prince had just turned sixteen, but he was a little dumb. Like his second daughter Si Ning, he seldom spoke.

That year, the God came to the capital of Da Chu to select his own disciples and chose Si Ning.

When Concubine Yun heard the news, she also pleaded with the messenger from the Divine Sect to test the Fifth Prince's talent.

It’s a pity that the fifth prince’s spiritual energy is not outstanding at all.

Concubine Yun was extremely disappointed, and she also had a lot of resentment towards the Dingbei Palace.

As for the other little princes in the palace who have not yet grown up, let's wait until they are ten years old.

The current Crown Prince Chu Hantian is the only healthy adult son that Emperor Shengwen has.

Yue Ran took a sip of tea, used his hearing to check the surroundings, and confirmed that there was no one else besides his personal guards, then he said softly:

"What if the prince is too impatient and wants to attack Your Majesty?"
