Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

The tenth prince collapsed to the ground, his face contorted with pain and rage.

His legs were twisted at an unnatural angle, broken bones piercing through flesh, and beneath him lay a horrifying pool of blood.

Everyone was terrified and turned pale.

Some of the more timid ones had already fainted.

Even those who were slightly better still experienced weakness in their legs and were drenched in sweat.

It's over.

The tenth prince's leg was broken.

How are they supposed to withstand His Majesty's wrath?

At this moment, the tenth prince felt an excruciating pain spreading from his legs throughout his body like an electric current, with every nerve frantically transmitting signals of intense pain.

He clenched his teeth, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but he still couldn't stop the painful roars coming from his throat.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a fierce fire of anger burned within them.

That anger contained hatred for the murderer, resentment at one's own fate, and the humiliation of falling from grace.

"Ahhh!"

He screamed in agony, cold sweat pouring down his pale forehead and wetting his disheveled hair.

His face was now contorted and terrifying with extreme pain and rage.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood staining his hands, but he felt no pain in his hands, because the excruciating pain in his legs had already taken over all his senses.

"Ling Yan! Xiao Muyao! I will tear you to pieces!"

The tenth prince spat out these hateful words through gritted teeth, his voice trembling with pain, but the killing intent within them remained undiminished.

He knew perfectly well who had done it; there was no one else but the two of them.

However, at this moment he could only lie helplessly in a pool of blood, letting the pain and anger consume him.

It took the entourage a moment to regain their composure after being shocked.

The lead guard, suppressing his fear and trembling, steeled himself and asked the Tenth Prince in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, shall we continue onward, or return to the capital immediately?"

He dared not look directly into the Tenth Prince's cold, icy eyes, feeling a chill run down his spine, as if he would be swallowed up by that rage at any moment.

Upon hearing this, the tenth prince's face darkened further. He replied in an almost clenched-teeth tone, "Of course we have to return to the capital. Don't you have a brain?" His words were full of impatience and anger.

The guard trembled upon hearing this and immediately replied, "Yes, I understand."

Originally, some of the entourage members who knew medicine wanted to bandage the tenth prince's legs.

But they dared not speak up, fearing they would get themselves into trouble.

The tenth prince was unaware that there were medical experts in the group. He simply felt that rather than having these laymen bandage him, it would be better to return to the capital immediately and have the imperial physician bandage him.

By the time he returned to the capital, the blood on his body had already congealed.

My legs were completely stiff and incredibly painful.

He had just arrived at the city gate when he unexpectedly encountered the two people he hated most.

Lingyan and Xiao Muyao entered the Tenth Prince's carriage without going through any formal procedures or reporting.

Of course, the accompanying personnel dared not stop the two.

The tenth prince glared at them with eyes blazing with fury, about to unleash a torrent of curses.

Xiao Muyao swiftly pressed his speech acupoint.

The tenth prince was speechless and could only glare at them angrily.

His eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone.

The two ignored his gaze.

Lingyan smiled radiantly and said in an almost pitying tone, "Look at this once arrogant tenth prince, now reduced to such a state. I wonder if he regrets what he did back then?"

Her voice was soft, yet like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the Tenth Prince's heart.

The tenth prince has regretted it these past two days.

He regretted it terribly.

Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back.

Lingyan could tell from the look in his eyes that he was filled with regret.

Then he laughed even more brightly and said, "There's no medicine for regret in this world. Besides, are you thinking of going to the palace to complain to the Emperor? But I'm warning you, don't do it!"

The tenth prince was startled.

What do you mean?

Lingyan kindly explained to him, "That's because I poisoned you. Only I can cure this poison. Judging by the time, it should have taken effect by now. But don't worry, it won't kill you. It will only make you suffer excruciating pain."

The tenth prince was terrified and turned pale when he saw the innocent smile on her face.

The next moment, the pain from all over his body made him curl up into a ball.

This pain even overshadowed the agony emanating from my legs.

His body trembled uncontrollably, as if every inch of his skin, every muscle, and every bone was being kneaded and torn apart by countless demonic hands.

It felt like countless steel needles were stabbing him frantically in his head. Sharp pain came from deep within his skull, wave after wave, making his vision go black and almost causing him to faint.

My eyes are sore and swollen, the nerves around my eyes throb with pain, my vision is blurred, and tears are streaming uncontrollably, but they do nothing to relieve the pain that goes deep into my bones.

He bit his lower lip so hard that it bled profusely, and the taste of blood filled his mouth.

My throat felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and every difficult breath was accompanied by a burning pain, as if flames were burning in my trachea and lungs.

His chest heaved violently, his heart pounded rapidly, each contraction feeling like a heavy blow from a hammer, bringing a dull, agonizing pain that spread throughout his limbs.

His face was as pale as paper, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his hair and clothes.

His lips were bitten until they bled, and blood stained his chin.

Painful groans squeezed out from between his teeth, weak and hoarse, as if they were cries from the depths of hell.

Lingyan and Xiao Muyao admired his current state of collapse.

After she had enjoyed the view for a while, Lingyan smiled and said, "You felt it, didn't you? Isn't this feeling intoxicating? But don't worry, the imperial physicians can't detect it, so you should know what to say to Father Emperor. But if you're obedient, I can give you the antidote."

Like the Fifth Princess, she was naturally lying.

It was just used to threaten and control him; how could they possibly give him the antidote?

But the tenth prince had clearly already believed it.

He was completely overwhelmed by fear and pain, so he nodded frantically to show that he understood.

Ling Yan was extremely satisfied, and then left with Xiao Muyao.

Only the tenth prince remained, still groaning in pain.

When they finally arrived at the palace, Emperor Jingzhao was shocked, angry and heartbroken at the sight of the tenth prince's miserable state.

Watching the imperial physician bandage and treat the tenth prince.

He stood beside the prince, glaring angrily, and demanded, "Tell me! Who did this?"

The tenth prince was in excruciating pain, but he could only reply with a sob that didn't come from his heart: "Father! It was bandits! They were greedy and not only stole all the valuables, but they also broke my legs because they couldn't stand seeing my noble status and their lowly status. Father, you must do justice for me!"

Emperor Jingzhao was furious upon hearing this.

What a bandit!

I’m so tired of living!

He was so angry that his face turned ashen, and it felt as if a raging fire was burning in his chest.

He clenched his fists, his voice deep and powerful: "Issue my decree: from this moment forward, wipe out all the mountain strongholds surrounding the capital, leave no one alive!"

Upon hearing this, the tenth prince could only feign surprise and gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Father, for upholding my rights!"
