Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

The woman looked astonished, as if she had remembered something terrible.

Her eyes scanned that delicate face from head to toe, her rosy lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

"No matter what, sir, you must save this person. She is the daughter of my benefactor. If it weren't for her, I don't know what would have happened to our whole family..."

She spoke haltingly, her voice tinged with bitterness, and her eyes held a hint of fear.

Looking at the old lady's appearance, Xia Zhanxin was speechless for a moment.

Immediately, everyone's hearts clenched, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl on the bed gradually opened her eyes.

In a daze, she opened her eyes and saw everything around her that was unfamiliar.

She struggled to get up, but the intense pain caused her to collapse back onto the bed.

"Young lady, is your mother Princess Pingyang? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

The woman's voice became extremely gentle, like a spring breeze brushing past her ear. She scrutinized the girl in front of her with extremely tender eyes, completely different from her previous appearance.

She clenched her small fists tightly, a feeling she couldn't describe welling up inside her, and hot tears welled up in her eyes.

The woman bit her lip tightly, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe. She quickly turned around, wiped away her tears, and went into the side room.

The room was dimly lit, and the prefect's expression became very solemn.

He sat on the edge of the bed with a worried expression, gazing out the window with a distant look in his eyes.

"What are you trying to do now? Look at how panicked you are! Those two coming here definitely don't mean anything good."

"I advise you to behave yourself..."

The woman clenched her teeth tightly, looking at him with great reluctance.

“I don’t care about this matter, but you must take care of it. You know better than anyone what kind of person the Empress Dowager is now.”

"It's only natural that Xia Zhanxin wants to join forces with us to raise an army. If we don't lend a hand, are we just going to watch the court perish like this?"

She looked at him sharply, her eyes bright and piercing.

To persuade others to see all this, the words that were on the tip of their tongue had to be swallowed back.

After all, the lady is currently six months pregnant, and she has finally conceived a son. It is crucial that the pregnancy not be disturbed.

Looking at that cold, indifferent back, the woman felt a mix of emotions and had no choice but to steel herself and walk out.

"Well……"

Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes, and a pair of strong hands tightly covered her mouth and nose.

A rich aroma wafted by, and she instantly lost consciousness...

She didn't know how much time had passed before she woke up from her dazed state, the excruciating pain making her instantly alert.

Looking around, it seemed to stretch endlessly, and everything was pitch black.

Her heart leaped into her throat, her small heart pounding wildly in her chest.

"Who are all of you? I don't know you at all. Let me go right now! Do you even know who I am? You all have such audacity!"

She pretended to be calm as she looked at the man in front of her. He had his back to her, but he exuded a menacing aura.

I could faintly hear the sound of knives being sharpened...

"Tell us where Xia Rongliu is right now. If you tell us, we'll release you immediately."

"But you'd better be smart. If you dare to try anything funny, don't blame me for being ruthless. Look at you. You're pregnant, and I don't think you want your baby to die like this."

The voice drifted out, eerily like a ghost. A chilling, menacing aura filled the air; even from a distance, one could feel its suffocating cold.

How much did she lose? She desperately wanted to escape from here. She clutched her stomach in fear, unwilling to believe what she was seeing.

"Don't hurt me. I'll cooperate with whatever you want. I'll tell you everything I know."

She stared intently at everything around her.

Her bright eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately noticed a stone on the ground.

She looked at the robbers in front of her with teary eyes, and large tears rolled down her cheeks one by one.

"You've tied me up so tightly now, how can you expect me to trust you? What if I tell you about this and you kill me to cover it up?"

"Why don't you untie the ropes binding my hands and let me stay up all night to see your sincerity!"

The atmosphere in the air suddenly froze, and the two men stared at each other menacingly.

The cold, sinister blade pressed against her neck, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly froze.

"I'm telling you, don't you dare try anything funny! I can cripple you anytime, you woman! Trying anything funny won't do you any good!"

She feigned humility, but in reality, she already had other ideas in mind.

"I'm just a weak woman, what can I do? You just need to loosen my hands and feet, that's your way of showing sincerity, I don't think it's excessive."

The two grown men looked at each other and finally made up their minds.

Like that thick hemp rope, the moment it slips from your hand.

She let out a long sigh of relief, and the next second she picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the man's head without thinking.

Blood gushed out immediately, and the man was completely dumbfounded by what he saw.

His body swayed precariously, unable to withstand the attack, and the donated blood instantly stained the entire bluestone slab red.

"what……"

"You wretched woman! I think you're tired of living!"

The bluestone slab in her trembling hands scattered all over the ground, and she hurriedly fled through the door.

She was already terrified, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

She ran forward recklessly, tears streaming down her face, stumbling and falling hard on the ground several times.

Her fair skin was chafed raw, and she looked around at everything with helpless and fearful eyes.

"Stop running, it's no use running now! Once we brothers catch you, we'll tear you to pieces, and you'll die a horrible death..."

"You ungrateful woman! I was going to spare your worthless life! But it seems there's no need for that now!"

She looked around in panic, and finally had no choice but to curl up in the tall weeds.

Her clear pupils were filled with despair and pain; she was terrified, her heart pounding in her throat.

In the blink of an eye, the sharp blade was already upon them, and what appeared before them was that ferocious and terrifying smile.
