Quick Wear: Men who steal the heroine will become addicted

On the other side, Qiao Shiyi showed no mercy to Gu Yanchen, hitting his vital points with every move, and soon both of them were injured.

As the emperor's confidant, Qiao Shiyi knew a little about the Gu family's secret shady industries and shameful activities.

With the intention of eliminating harm for the people and a secret jealousy in his heart, Qiao Shiyi stabbed the cold sword into Gu Yanchen's abdomen.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is such a noble and incomparable beauty, but Gu Yanchen occupies the position of her husband but does not know how to cherish it.

As for him, Qiao Shiyi, he could only hide in the dark and enjoy her favor, craving for a little bit of her love, and had no chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

In fact, it was not only Gu Yanchen. The presence of His Majesty and Prince He also made him struggle in pain, but he could only vent it on Gu Yanchen.

Jealousy and greed grew more and more intense. Qiao Shiyi added a few more sword strikes and kicked the famous General Weiyuan to the ground.

He spared Gu Yanchen's life because it was not yet time to close the net of His Majesty's plan.

General Gu made a lot of money and recruited soldiers in the Western Territory. Gu Yanchen was his only son, and he couldn't just ignore him when he was injured like this.

Everything is settled, just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar.

But how can that be?

After the princess's divorce, whether she holds the Phoenix Seal and rules the country as mother, or marries into the royal palace and becomes the Crown Prince's consort, it is impossible for her to have any connection with him, Qiao Shiyi, anymore.

In the past, he could still follow Her Highness on the pretext of personal protection, but now, even Prince He is probably no match for her.

Qiao Shiyi smiled bitterly and self-deprecatingly, wiped the blood off the sword, and sheathed it.

The humming sound from the sword's edge frightened the already embarrassed Su Yu so much that she couldn't help but shiver. "Don't kill me, I didn't hurt her, don't kill me..."

Qiao Shiyi paused and stared at her for two seconds, a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

This woman did not cause any substantial harm to His Highness, but her mere presence brought shame to His Highness and made him be criticized and ridiculed by people all over the world.

After hesitating for a while, Qiao Shiyi finally turned around and left in silence.

She is just an ant. If Your Highness minds it, he will come back to take her life in a few days. If Your Highness does not mind it, he will spare her life.

Anyway, the Gu family’s good days won’t last long.

Late at night, Qiao Shiyi, wearing a slim-fitting black nightgown, moved through the imperial city with a nimble figure like a ghost.

In the past, he would go straight to see the emperor when he entered the palace, but tonight, he rarely had selfish thoughts.

He knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess lived in the Weiyang Palace. She couldn't sleep at this time and was usually reading storybooks.

She entered the palace in a hurry and must have forgotten to bring it with her, so Qiao Shiyi specially bought several trendy books at the market and brought them to her.

Taking advantage of the time when the palace maids were changing their night shifts, Qiao Shiyi tiptoed into the main hall.

The night breeze was blowing gently, and the flickering candle flame reflected a pair of deep phoenix eyes, which were looking at him with a faint smile.

Qiao Shiyi's heart tightened, and he knelt down to pay his respects without making a sound. "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Qiao Luo's slender finger bones supported the side of his face. He sat in a casual posture, but his low aura gave off an oppressive feeling.

"What have you been doing? You're so late. If I hadn't been waiting here, I'd probably have to wait until tomorrow morning to see you, a busy man like you."

Qiao Shiyi lowered his eyes, and the shadow cast by his eyelashes completely concealed the uneasy emotion in his eyes.

"Your Highness ordered me to go to the night market to buy some things, so I will be back late."

He handed over a stack of notebooks tucked into his arms.

The young emperor said nothing, but scanned him from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he was looking at a heartless corpse.

Because he had an affair with the eldest princess, Qiao Shiyi was already feeling guilty, and it took him a long time to realize that he had spoken without thinking.

What he said just now did clear himself of suspicion of coming to Weiyang Palace in the middle of the night, but it also indirectly exposed a fact -

The eldest princess knew of his existence and was used to ordering him around.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Any minister who has different ideas should be killed, let alone a loyal soldier like him who was kept as a heir. Serving two masters is a great taboo for the emperor.

Qiao Luo was in a good mood tonight and did not pursue this little matter. He was concerned about another big thing that was assigned to Qiao Shiyi.

"Qiao Shiyi, I told you to protect her closely and not let her get into any trouble. Is this what you told me?!"

It was because he was the number one shadow guard that Qiao Luo dared to put Qiao Chu's safety in his hands. But now, not only was Qiao Chu touched by Gu Yanchen, but he also concealed it and did not report it!

"This is outrageous, Qiao Shiyi, are you trying to rebel?!"

Qiao Luo was furious. The jade teacup in his hand suddenly flew away and hit Qiao Shiyi on the forehead. The teacup fragments flew everywhere and the handsome shadow guard was bleeding from his head.

Qiao Shiyi seemed to feel no pain. He knelt in the center of the hall with his back straight, like a bamboo that remained unbroken by the wind.

His mind was completely blank. In the past twenty years, his emotions had never fluctuated more violently than they did now. All he could think about was—

It's over, the truth has been revealed, His Majesty knows everything...

No wonder His Majesty would wait for him in Weiyang Palace.

What about Her Highness? Has anything happened to her? How will His Majesty punish her?

He couldn't figure out how His Majesty knew that.

Didn’t Your Highness tell Prince He in person in the Imperial Garden that day that her virginity had been taken away by Your Majesty?

There was no toad blood or other evidence, so why was the truth exposed as soon as he entered the palace?

The current situation did not allow Qiao Shiyi to think too much.

He acted decisively, slammed his bleeding forehead against the floor, and took all the blame on himself.

"Your Majesty, calm down. This is all caused by my lustful behavior. It has nothing to do with the Princess!"

"To be honest, the eldest princess is so stunningly beautiful that I fell in love with her at first sight. As time went by, I fell in love with her. So, relying on my martial arts skills, I forced Her Highness to give herself to me!"

"After the deed was accomplished, you threatened me with your life. Your Highness is an innocent victim in this whole thing. I am willing to die as an apology!"

On the high seat, Qiao Luo's sharp eyebrows twitched violently, his clenched hands were bulging with veins, and he almost gritted out a few words from between his teeth.

"What did you say?!"

The obvious tone of shock and anger brought Qiao Shiyi back to his senses instantly, "Your Majesty, are you deceiving me?"

"court death!"

Qiao Luo's blood surged, his internal strength condensed in his palm, he lifted up the heavy solid wood table and smashed it towards Qiao Shiyi.

He didn't even have time to find a suitable weapon, and while still wearing the dragon robe that restricted his hands and feet, he jumped down and wrestled with Qiao Shiyi.

Qiao Shiyi didn't dare to fight back. He dodged and explained, "Your Majesty, please listen to me. Things are not as you heard..."

He wanted to defend himself, but when he thought of He Chengyi, he didn't know how to start.

It is a fact that he deceived the emperor and did not report it. Judging from His Majesty's reaction, he misunderstood and let the cat out of the bag in a moment of impulse.

Even if He Chengyi was dragged into the water at this time, he would not gain any benefit. Instead, it would anger His Majesty and make the eldest princess's situation more dangerous.

Qiao Shiyi could only blame himself for his bad luck and let the emperor beat and kick him to vent his rage.

The excessively violent noise in the hall woke up Qiao Chu who was sleeping in a daze.

She usually doesn't go to bed early, but fighting with the Qiaoluo fairy this afternoon really consumed a lot of her energy.

Being woken up from a sound sleep would make any sleepy person grouchy.

Qiao Chu would not let herself be wronged. She casually put on an outer robe and went out, and quickly separated the two troublemakers.

"Why aren't you sleeping at night? What are you doing? If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep!"

She pulled a few flowing gauze strips from the inner hall, swiftly tied the man to two chairs, and threw him into the moonlit backyard to watch the stars.

The chirping of courting cicadas in the trees, the buzzing of crickets in the grass, and the emperor and his shadow guards tied up like big dumplings, form a funny and weird picture.

Qiao Luo spat out the cloth ball stuffed in his mouth and glanced at Qiao Shiyi with a sneer.

"Force, commitment?"

Qiao Shiyi looked away uncomfortably.

In a sense, he was not lying, but was indeed forcing and committing himself.

It was just that Her Royal Highness the Princess forced him to commit himself to her.
