There was 36 astute, capable and experienced Imperial bodyguards standing on both side to keep the way clear. Four girls at the flower of their age were dedicatedly holding the imperial canopy. Under the imperial canopy stood a man in fine clothes, looking handsome, and not lacking any of the high and mighty royal dignity.
This person was the sixth son of Chang Kong country's monarch, Ji Yunhao.
He slowly advanced until he was around 10 meters away from the iron cage. He indifferently swept a glance at Ning Xuemo without hiding the disgust in his eyes.
"Ning Xuemo, what do you still have to say?"
Ning Xuemo raised her head. Her extremely black eyes welcomed the sight of Ji Yunhao. Suddenly, the corner of her mouth slowly hooked into a light smile.
"Sixth Prince, what do you wish for me to say?"
Because of the scorching hot day, her voice was somewhat hoarse. However, this couldn't hide the soft voice that came out. Unexpectedly, the voice was oddly pleasant to hear.
Ji Yunhao frowned slightly. He was choked bu her words.
After that lowly girl was imprisoned, she continuously cried out in grievances, shouting with all her energy that she was wronged, until her voice was hoarse and her eyes were swollen, but no one would believe her words.
She continuously cried from sunset to sundown, only now, did she stop and bang her head on the iron cage out of despair. He believed she had already knocked herself to death, that's why he came to see with his own eyes. In front of all these people, he wanted to establish his reputation as an able and virtuous prince, gracing her with his kindness by commanding people to put her body in an old coffin. However, he didn't expect to find her combing her hair, while calmly sitting there as if she wasn't sitting inside an iron cage, but in a tranquil and elegant teahouse. Shecould even smile!
Her complexion was obviously pale like a ghost, but the smile underneath had some sort of splendor that made it shine in front of people's eyes.
He never knew her smile could be this sweet, like a pure child, but the corner of her mouth slanted with a trace of evilness.
Ji Yunhao's heart slightly palpitated! Immediately, he wrinkled his eyebrows and slightly increased his voice, "It is not about what I wished for you to say. I only want to hear the truth! Are you aware of your crime?"
Ning Xuemo interrupted him before he could finish, "Xuemo knows her crimes, but it's not just the crime toward the Prince. I have other crimes!"
Other crimes?! Ji Yunhao smirked in his mind. Her crimes exceeded more than that. He would handle her more than it should be by rights...
"How many crimes do you have?"
Ning Xuemo blinked then softly sighed, "Xuemo's crimes are... After I suffered from a reversal of fortune, I shouldn't have held tightly onto the engagement and not let go, and wholeheartedly desiring you, the Sixth Prince. This caused the Sixth Prince to have no other choice but to use some harmful trick to set up Xuemo who is only a lone girl. If this matter was made public, I'm afraid it could be harmful to Sixth Prince's virtuous reputation. Right now, Xuemo thinks these are very grave crimes..."
Her speech was both quick and urgent like hot potatoes. Every single word was exceptionally clear, it almost made everyone who heard it very clear about the matter.
She waited for Ji Yunhao's imperial bodyguards to react. By the time they leaped forward to take care of her, she had already finished talking.
What more, just a moment ago, she was clearly sitting. By the time an imperial bodyguard made his move, wanting to pierce her into silence, in an instant, she dodged the attack to everyone's surprise.
Many imperial bodyguards stared blankly. They looked at Ning Xuemo once again, but she was sitting at the same place as if she never moved.
Those attacks were fast like the wind, how did she dodge it?
