The cruel little princess

His Royal Highness Prince Jin walked out of the tent and whispered to the back, "An Yi, go check Miss Shen's schedule for tomorrow."

"Yes!" It was still the mysterious man who was as fast as lightning. He answered and disappeared without a trace.

He looked up at the azure sky. The sun was not too strong and the breeze was just right. Just like her appearance, everything was just perfect and coincidental.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, with a smile that showed his determination to win. "Youyou..." He opened his thin lips gently, gentle and affectionate, "You have grown up, and I don't want to wait any longer..."

After Prince Jin returned to his tent, An Yi returned to report. "Your Highness, General Shen's trusted confidant, Guard Wu, has taken Miss Shen to find some brothers skilled in tracking. They said they will take Miss Shen to the place where Young General Shen disappeared tomorrow morning to investigate."

After hearing this, Prince Jin half-closed his eyes and gently raised his right hand to support his chin. "I understand. Let's go!" An Yi nodded in agreement and just turned around to fly away. "Inform everyone that we will leave the camp with Miss Shen tomorrow morning!"

An Yi turned around and knelt down again, "Your Highness, aren't you going to publicly execute Zheng Xianfeng and Military Doctor Wang at noon tomorrow?"

After hearing this, His Royal Highness Prince Jin lowered his lip again. Yes, there are still things that have not been dealt with. Originally, General Shen should have returned these military affairs to him after he woke up, so that he could stay by Shen Youyou's side to help and support her. But General Shen's body has not recovered yet, and he can't deal with these. It's really... too troublesome! Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head again, "Pass the order down, all those who are not on duty must gather at the training ground at 15:00. Those who are absent without reason will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane. This king will try the spies in public!" Since it has to be dealt with sooner or later, it is better to finish the day's work on the same day, so as not to delay things at night. It's just right to finish it early, and you can free up your hands to do other things.

"Yes!" An Yi took the order and ran away.

"..." Prince Jin was about to continue giving orders when he discovered An Yi had already turned and left. He couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: How could this An Yi act so recklessly? He left in such a hurry before I even finished giving my orders. He's really becoming more and more unruly!

Prince Jin shook his head helplessly, then turned his gaze to An Er who was standing nearby. He said in a deep voice, "An Er, go to Miss Shen immediately and tell her to arrive at the training ground on time at 1:00 PM. I will publicly try that spy here."

"As you command!" An Er responded loudly, but unlike An Yi, he didn't act immediately. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you would like me to convey or any special instructions for?"

Prince Jin felt a little relieved upon seeing this, but he still patiently instructed, "I've asked you to pass on the message, naturally hoping everything goes well. Remember, when you talk to Miss Shen, be mindful of your words and attitude, and be sure to be polite! Don't be as rude as An Yi."

"Yes!" An Er agreed again, then waited a moment to confirm that King Jin had no further instructions. He then bowed respectfully and turned to leave. King Jin saw all this and couldn't help but sigh: These subordinates are really more troublesome than the other! One is just stupid, the other is just too cunning.

At 1 p.m., the usually bustling training ground was utterly silent. On the central platform, facing the crowd, two figures knelt on either side. Everyone looked intently, and they were none other than Zheng Xianfeng and Military Doctor Wang! Those in the crowd who knew about this glared angrily at the two figures on the stage. However, many others, unaware of the situation, silently inquired with their acquaintances if they knew anything about it.

At this moment, Prince Jin spread his wings beautifully, his figure suddenly rising several meters above the ground. Like a falling leaf, he landed gently on the platform without making a sound. Anyone who saw this would sigh inwardly, what a profound internal force! After Prince Jin took the stage, Lieutenant General Zhang from the camp stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said, "Your Highness! Except for the brothers on duty, all the other brothers are here!"

Prince Jin nodded slightly, agreeing to Lieutenant General Zhang's request and allowing him to begin. Then, his eagle-like eyes began to scan the audience, searching for that beautiful figure. Finally, his gaze fell on a woman—Shen Youyou.

Shen Youyou, now dressed in a sky-blue dress, looked as fresh and refined as a fairy descending from the heavens. She wore no makeup, yet her bare face remained strikingly beautiful. Her eyebrows, naturally a pale black, needed no embellishment, and her lips, even without any coloring, were vibrant and juicy, like ripe cherries. Her large, round, almond-shaped eyes, framed by long, curled eyelashes, gave her a look that was both majestic and playful.

Her willow-like waist, slender enough to be held in one hand, complemented her curvaceous figure, emitting an indescribable charm. His Highness Prince Jin couldn't help but be drawn to her, and an urge welled up in his heart, wanting to gently stroke that slender waist with his broad, thick hands, feeling its softness and warmth.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin was watching intently when he suddenly heard Deputy General Zhang's voice, "Your Highness, how do you think we should deal with this traitor?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers below the stage shouted in unison.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin slowly raised his right hand and pressed it down. The audience was silent, and everyone was waiting for His Royal Highness Prince Jin's decision.

"I know that any spies found in the army must be executed. But this time, the actions of these two nearly killed General Shen and General Shen. They also killed our fellow soldiers, our brothers! They are also people with elderly parents and young children, but because of their cowardice and betrayal, our soldiers died tragically! If it weren't for the soldiers behind them, the Qinglong army might have marched straight through our border and hit the capital. By then, the country would be destroyed, families would be ruined, and the land would be ravaged. Who can bear the consequences of such a thing?! Killing them alone... is not enough to appease the public anger! Therefore, I will execute them by slow slicing in public! To serve as a warning to others! Execution!"

As soon as the words fell, men came up and tied the two men to pillars, preparing for execution. The soldiers below opened their eyes wide. They had expected a straightforward beheading, but they hadn't expected a public execution by slow slicing! This was a profound psychological shock to the soldiers! Good deeds would be noticed, and those who didn't would be punished accordingly. Each of them reaffirmed their lofty ambition to serve their country!

…Shen Youyou looked at the soldiers below the stage, all of them were excited, their faces full of excitement at being recognized! She didn’t expect that His Royal Highness Prince Jin was so good at giving inspirational speeches! Just as she was about to look at the stage and sneak away when no one was paying attention, a pair of warm and strong hands covered her eyes. The knuckles of this pair of hands were large, protruding more than those of ordinary people, very strong, and with thick calluses at the base of the fingers. There was also more flesh on the tiger's mouth, and the lines on the hand were very clear. You could tell by feeling that this was the hand of a swordsman.

"Don't look!" A familiar and gentle voice sounded above his head. "Don't you think it's too cruel?"

"..." Shen Youyou... My mother tongue is speechless... My Prince Jin, you were the one who ordered the death by slow slicing, and now you're asking me if that's too cruel? Are you sure I can really understand what you're saying? ... You can criticize in your heart, but you still have to say the polite words that need to be said. And she wouldn't think that you guys just almost died and didn't really die, while the two of them lost their lives and were executed by slow slicing... Such a stupid way of thinking. After all, if she hadn't discovered the clues of the medicine jar, there is a high probability that what His Royal Highness Jin said would really happen.
