Chapter 38 The Future Prince Consort

While inwardly grumbling, she opened the next live stream.

This time the content was indeed exciting. It started with a young boy grabbing a maid by the neck, his ferocious face filling the entire sky, which then frightened two timid courtiers into fainting.

The boy clearly intended to kill her; in just a moment, the maid was lifeless.

Zheng Jiao frowned in dissatisfaction: "Is there something wrong with this canopy? Showing it to us at this time, even though it shows us, we still can't save anyone. Isn't this just deliberately making us uncomfortable?"

The Second Prince shook his head helplessly: "There are too many people who die unjustly in this world. Even if you can find out in time, so what? You can't keep saving people forever. Besides, there should be limits to the gossip in the system. Eating gossip is not without its price. The cause and effect, the cycle of fate in this world, are never something that you or I can shake."

“But,” Zheng Jiao looked at him with her clear black and white eyes, “we should save as many as we can, shouldn’t we?”

The third prince was speechless.

He wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but he knew how persistent Zheng Jiao was, so he ultimately didn't voice his rebuttal.

"But don't worry, I'm just rambling on. These are my own requirements, not my third sister's."

Zheng Jiao's gaze was calm, and his voice was firm.

She has always been like that, like the bright and dazzling sunlight in the sky, upright, honest, and radiant.

[My God, is this Zheng Jiao's future consort? He's ruthless! No, wait, he's a scoundrel who's disguised very well.]

Zheng Jiao: ? ? ?

What sins did she commit? She just wanted to gossip and ended up getting herself into trouble? And this person is so ruthless, daring to marry such a prince consort—does she have a death wish?

Zheng Jin patted her shoulder reassuringly: "It seems we're both unlucky, our marriages are all tied to bad karma."

Among the ministers, one man's face turned extremely ugly when he saw the boy in the sky.

Liao Hongsheng had somehow moved behind him and said quietly, "Marquis Kang Le, is that your youngest son?"

Marquis Kang Le cursed him inwardly for being nosy, but Liao Hongsheng was currently enjoying the Emperor's favor, and was not someone a Marquis with little real power could afford to offend, so he could only nod silently.

At this moment, the emperor's eyebrows were so furrowed that they could trap a fly.

Jiaojiao is his beloved daughter whom he has raised with utmost care. How could she possibly marry into the declining Kang Le Marquis's mansion?

Thinking back to the thoughts she had heard from Zheng Xun before, could it be that Jiao Jiao had left the palace in a fit of pique?

[This Han Lingfeng is quite a talent. Don't let his young age fool you; he's got some serious skills!]

Under the sky, Han Lingfeng, who had just killed someone, remained calm and leisurely wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

"It's been dealt with."

A servant with his head bowed obeyed and deftly dragged away the woman's body.

Han Lingfeng's brows relaxed slightly as he looked at a trembling maid in the corner: "Come here and give me a shoulder massage."

He sat in the chair and gently closed his eyes.

The maid bit her lip, the fear in her eyes clearly visible, but she dared not disobey Han Lingfeng's orders, and her steps faltered as she came to stand behind him.

Perhaps sensing the maid's nervousness, Han Lingfeng smiled reassuringly. He was handsome and had a good smile: "I'm not a cruel master. As long as you obey me, I won't hurt you, understand?"

He took the maid's trembling hand, brought it to his lips, and gently kissed her, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Ugh... What a disgusting person.

[You still claim "I'm not cruel"? If you weren't cruel, would your servants have remained so calm? And how could they have handled the corpses with such skill?]

Han Lingfeng was an excellent orator. He portrayed himself as a pitiful child who lost his mother at a young age and struggled to survive under his stepmother's care.

You say he killed someone? That wasn't murder. Those people were just asking for it. He was just doing it out of desperation. He felt guilty and sad, okay?

After a brilliant performance, he successfully charmed the little maid, but the ministers in front of the canopy were not only knowledgeable but also men, and they all knew he was talking nonsense.

But even those who are well aware of this point, after hearing his fallacies, still felt less hostile towards him.

It has to be said that Han Lingfeng is quite capable.

It's true that she lost her mother at a young age, and it's also true that she struggled to survive under her stepmother's care.

The big-headed prince was moved by what he said: "Alas, it is the father's fault if the son is not taught properly. If he had been properly taught, he would not have grown into the way he is now."

The Third Prince was speechless and whispered to the person next to him, "I never realized the Crown Prince was so stupid."

The person next to him is the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince couldn't hear his own thoughts, but upon hearing this comment, he assumed that the man harbored resentment towards the Crown Prince. In an instant, countless schemes and plots flashed through his mind.

But what he said was, "Third Brother, don't speak recklessly. How could the crown prince of a country be a fool?"

He deliberately raised his voice, and the people around him who heard him fell silent instantly.

The Fifth Prince remained unmoved, waiting for the Third Prince and the Crown Prince to be discussed, but he only received strange looks from all sides.

He gritted his teeth and cursed the Crown Prince's good luck in his heart.

However, when he turned fifteen, he seduced his stepmother into bed. She was completely smitten, getting whatever she wanted. She even acted as a go-between when he took a fancy to one of the concubines in the Marquis of Kang Le's harem. Was he aggrieved? He was a complete idiot!

[Xu Ru and Kanglehou, how come the officials of Dayong keep raising children who disregard human ethics? Do they have such a penchant for it?]

The court officials: This has nothing to do with us.

Xu Ru: Please forget me, please.

The most outrageous thing is that Marquis Kang Le knew everything...

Throughout his decades-long life, Kang Lehou had always been inconspicuous and unappreciated, but today, he felt the spotlight.

Although these glances were very meaningful and contained no good intentions.

I even suspect that this Marquis Kang Le must be some kind of ancient tortoise or turtle that has cultivated itself into a spirit. I've never seen anyone so patient. Once, when he returned from court, he happened to see Han Lingfeng and his wife seeking excitement in his study. He came back, he discovered them, but he didn't choose to push open the door, fearing that the servants would discover this shameful affair. So he stood guard outside the door.

The second prince touched his perfectly healthy head: "I know the meaning of each word, but why can't I understand it when they're put together?"

People are whispering among themselves:

"This Marquis Kang Le is a rare honest man."

"Isn't he honest? Even after being betrayed to his face, he still helps guard the door. He's not only honest, but also a kind and understanding person."

"As far as I know, some people have this kind of hobby, they just like to see their wives with other men, and perhaps Marquis Kang Le even enjoys it?"

"You sound like you have a lot of experience."

Of course, didn't Marquis Kang Le feel aggrieved? Not at all, he was just too cowardly to dare to resist.

However, he didn't vent those negative emotions; instead, they accumulated inside him. When he could no longer bear it, the beast within him would be unleashed, randomly killing one lucky person.
