"Would you kill me?"
Han Jing was sure that the mad man must have had high attainment in traditional Chinese martial arts, he might be even more substantial than all the traditional Chinese martial arts masters she met. She figured that it would not be easy for her to take him down, but she managed to strike when he was unprepared. He could be a worthy opponent of hers!
She swore to give him a horrible death if he put his hands on her!
"Do you think I won't kill you?" Prince Ling was never this easily provoked. He glared at the hideous face standing in front of him, half her face was covered in a palm-sized birthmark, while the other side was swollen with bright red fingerprints, there were even some bloodstains at the corner of her lips. He felt sick no matter how he looked at it!
"Your Highness, Princess Yi Feng will not sit tight if you dare to hurt our Lady!" Dong Bao panicked.
'What is wrong with Prince Ling today? Is he crazy?' she wondered. 'Although Lady Han isn't good looking, she is still Princess Chen Yu, the title given by the Emperor himself! No one would dare provoke her in Hanjing City. Is the prince unafraid that she will tear him into pieces? So what if he has a royal status? He is just a prince at most, as long as the Emperor is still alive!'
It was not that she was bragging as the princess' maidservant. She was certain that Prince Ling would die a gruesome death if he hurt her Lady because she would definitely hold a grudge for the previous slap.
Prince Ling's expression became even darker. However, he did not dare to use any more force.
'That damn woman has a point,' he thought to himself.
Indeed, he did not dare to kill her. He could not do anything to her as long as he still had a sliver of logic left. Everyone in Hanjing City knew that Han Jing was a dear; the apple of Princess Yi Feng's eyes and the princess' doting was the root of Han Jing's ignorance.
Han Jing followed the princess to a palace banquet when she was five years old, beating up the eight-year-old son of a nobleman who called her ugly. The nobleman's wife then went to the palace with their son to complain to the Empress. The princess responded in front of the Emperor, civil and military officials, saying that the nobleman's wife could either be killed in the palace that day, or she could take their son back home. She further threatened that she would castrate the boy if the nobleman's wife dared to mention Han Jing's name! The nobleman's wife was mortified and left the palace with their son immediately.
Han Jing became an individual in Hanjing City that no one dared to offend, since the princess would definitely get involved by tormenting anyone who dared mess with her. That was why everyone could only feel mad but could not voice out anything about Han Jing's tyrannical behavior in the city.
Prince Ling was a reputable individual. He was favored and regarded highly by the Emperor, and he was close to the Emperor's brother. However, his mother was a royal concubine of the Third Rank as she originated from an ordinary family. When Princess Yi Feng discovered that Han Jing took a liking to Prince Ling, she requested a royal decree for marriage from the emperor. He agreed without any hesitation because he had been so tolerant of her. If Prince Ling really murdered Han Jing on that day in front of many witnesses, he and his mother might not escape death!
Prince Ling had never felt this wronged before! He had the urge to choke Han Jing to death whenever he thought about having to face this ill-hearted woman's disgusting face every day. Many innocent lives would have paid the price if he really killed her.
"What's the matter? Yan, what are you doing?"
