Princess Promotion

Bai Yehan was tied tightly to the rack, his body covered in blood.

Bai Yehan dared to kill someone in public, so he naturally knew that he could not escape the beating.

Fortunately, it was just a severe beating. He thought he would be beaten to death.

It seems that it was my pretty face that saved my life. Those people were reluctant to kill me, such a cash cow.

Bai Yehan suffered a long period of torture and his lips were cracked. It felt really uncomfortable.

Bai Yehan suddenly killed the boy. The caretaker Zhao Si must have guessed that he also knew the place and killed the boy to silence him.

No matter how Zhao Si whipped and questioned him, Bai Yehan never uttered a word.

With a loud bang, the whip was lashed towards Bai Yehan again. Every lash could make Bai Yehan's skin and flesh burst. The whip was covered in blood and a bloody mist was formed with every swing.

Bai Yehan's consciousness had begun to blur, and everything in front of him seemed hazy and unreal.

Suddenly, the dungeon door was kicked open from the outside, and strong light poured in, breaking the originally dark and damp environment.

Bai Yehan tried hard to open his eyes and saw a young man in armor rushing in with a long sword in his hand.

The young man led a group of guards to clean up the area and quickly dealt with Zhao Si's thugs.

He walked to Bai Yehan's side, picked up the sword and cut off Bai Yehan's handcuffs with ease. Bai Yehan was exhausted and fell to the ground.

Let's go and see!

"Are you okay?" the young man came over and helped Bai Yehan up and asked.

Bai Yehan nodded and said weakly: "If you had come to support me before you broke the handcuffs, maybe I would be fine..."

Boy: “…I’ll be more careful next time.”

Just then, a girl wearing a long flowery dress with hundreds of gold butterflies walked in.

Later, Bai Yehan learned that these two people were the tyrant of Huayang Imperial Capital of Qi State, the legitimate princess "Yao Chuguang" and her lackeys.

Cousin "Li Yinhan".

Yao Chuguang walked to the front of the cage, glanced at Bai Yehan, then looked away, looked at the other people in the cage and asked, "Have any of you heard of the name Bai Yehan?"

No one answered, and everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Yehan.

Bai Yehan weakly raised his hand and said, "I am Bai Yehan."

Yao Chuguang looked at Bai Yehan, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashing in her eyes: "Do you know Lin Wan? She is looking for you."

Bai Yehan opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a long moment before raising his hands to cover his eyes and complaining, "How slow!"

Yao Chuguang walked up to Bai Yehan and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Save your complaints for later. Let's escape first!"

After listening to Yao Chuguang's words, Bai Yehan looked around at the corpses lying on the ground.

He raised his head and looked at Yao Chuguang, as if to say, haven't you killed all the people? Do you still need to escape?

"Take them out of the imperial capital first and go to the border to find your uncle." Yao Chuguang looked at Li Yinhan and said.

Li Yinhan turned to look at Yao Chuguang, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes: "I want to escape too?"

Yao Chuguang's eyes were somewhat complicated as he said, "We broke in and killed so many people this time. I couldn't protect you and had to escape."

Li Yinhan felt a chill in his heart after hearing this: "Then what are you going to do?"

Yao Chuguang laughed loudly and said wantonly, "No matter who is in trouble, I will be safe. I am a member of the royal family and a princess. How can they kill me?"

"Besides, if you really want to harm me, it would be better for you to go back and bring your troops to put pressure on me than to be trapped in the imperial capital and drag me down."

Li Yinhan knew that what Yao Chuguang said was right, but he was still furious. They had clearly done nothing wrong. They had killed human traffickers who oppressed the people, so why were they the ones getting away?

Just because they killed a few more officials who sheltered these human traffickers.

Li Yinhan finally struggled and said, "We can report it to the police. These are all witnesses."

Bai Yehan, who was ignored on the side, silently raised his hand and said, "I am willing to be a witness and report these evil deeds."

Yao Chuguang glanced at Bai Yehan and said, "Isn't this yard and the corpse in the backyard enough proof? What if they want to kill and silence them?"

Bai Yehan silently withdrew his hand.

After hearing this, Li Yinhan couldn't help feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart. He knew that Yao Chuguang was telling the truth.

Li Yinhan was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about you?"

Yao Chuguang looked into Li Yinhan's eyes, a trace of determination and resolution flashing in them: "I will stay and bring these corpses to the palace gate to beat the drum and complain."

This is indeed the safest way. Li Yinhan took these people and escaped from the imperial capital. Even if those people wanted to kill them to silence them, they would be out of reach.

If Yao Chuguang can successfully seek justice for them, it won't be too late for them to come back then.

Li Yinhan knew that Yao Chuguang's decision could not be changed, so he could only nod helplessly.

"Let's go!" Li Yinhan shouted and hurried away with everyone.

Not long after they walked out, Li Yinhan arranged for his men to take the rescued children and teenagers away first. He knew that Yao Chuguang's decision was correct, but he was still worried and wanted to go back to check.

At this time, Bai Yehan tightly grasped Li Yinhan's hand and said, "I will go back with you."

Li Yinhan saw that Bai Yehan needed someone to support him, so he naturally didn't want to take Bai Yehan with him.

Bai Yehan held Li Yinhan tightly, but Li Yinhan didn't dare to use too much force on him for fear of further injuring him.

There was no choice, Li Yinhan had to agree.

He changed into two sets of coarse cloth as a servant, and got a small cart for Bai Yehan to lie on as a corpse.

There's no way you could parade around town with someone covered in injuries who can't even stand steadily. It would be too conspicuous.

Bai Yehan had something to say but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. Wouldn't it be conspicuous if he pushed a corpse on the street?

Bai Yehan's injuries and Bai Du's frightening face were not worth mentioning. It was unreasonable to just say that he was a slave who was beaten to death by his master for stealing and was thrown into a mass grave.

Just like that, Li Yinhan pushed Bai Yehan, who was playing the corpse, back and just happened to see Yao Chuguang and his men carrying several corpses out.

Li Yinhan hurriedly pushed Bai Yehan to hide aside. If Yao Chuguang found out and he came back, he would be scolded to death.

Yao Chuguang led his men towards the imperial palace. After a few steps, they were met by the imperial guards led by Commander Wu.

Yao Chuguang shouted sternly, "Get out of here!"

Commander Wu stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry I can't obey your command. Princess, please return to the palace."

After saying that, he didn't say any more words and directly ordered the imperial guards behind him to surround Yao Chuguang, making sure that Yao Chuguang was controlled without being hurt.

Commander Wu was about to give the order when Yao Chuguang threatened, "If you dare to kill my men, I will pickle all your sons."

This threat is very sophisticated. First of all, Yao Chuguang can definitely do it. Second, if Yao Chuguang really does it, Commander Wu really can't do anything to Yao Chuguang.

Yao Chuguang turned around and shouted to the people behind him, "Are you all deaf? Hurry and run away."

At this time, Yao Chuguang's guards suddenly realized what was happening and fled in all directions. Commander Wu could only turn a blind eye and let them escape.

Because if he went back, the worst he would do would be incompetent. Even the Emperor of Qi couldn't do anything to Yao Chuguang, so he, a minister, would definitely not be his match.

Li Yinhan and Bai Yehan watched helplessly as Commander Wu threw the corpse in and set the hay on fire, burning the house to ashes.

Later, Li Yinhan took Bai Yehan and others back to the border and escaped the pursuit along the way.

Yao Chuguang was also confined to the imperial mausoleum for allowing Li Yinhan to break into a house and kill people while drunk.

The following year, Lin Wan married into the Wang family. At that time, Lin Wan had a bad reputation because many people spread rumors that Lin Wan was ungrateful and abandoned Yao Chuguang when she fell.

Bai Yehan was not very clear about what happened afterwards. He only knew that Yao Chuguang was imprisoned for two years. After being released with great difficulty, he took his men and ran directly to the border.

Bai Yehan now thinks that His Majesty really understood human nature thoroughly back then.

He knew that if they stayed, they would die. But even though His Majesty was well versed in human nature, he was still willing to seek justice for these people he had never met.

Even though she knew she wouldn't succeed, she was willing to pay the price to give it a try.

In the end, reality still disappointed her completely. At that time, His Majesty said to him: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, but truth lies only under the sword."

Thinking back to the present, when Lin Wan said goodbye to him and saw him covered in wounds, she didn't shed a single tear. Instead, she said solemnly that she would avenge him one day.

Bai Yehan looked at Lin Wan and said, "Don't cry. You were very brave back then. Could it be that you've become sentimental now that you're older?"

Lin Wan's emotions were instantly interrupted. She couldn't cry anymore and even wanted to hit someone.

Bai Yehan looked at the dark night sky. It was as cloudless tonight as it was that day.

Bai Yehan slowly drew out his sword, looked at the blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight and said, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

When they were defeated miserably, those people must have laughed happily, laughing at their arrogance.

Tonight he would make sure those people never laughed again.
