Chapter 1

Change In The Palace

The sun had set, leaving only a dark light shining on the blood-red East Palace. It looked more sinister and haunted than usual.

The Eastern Palace, which had been filled with joy earlier, was now in chaos. The crown prince had been accused of treason on the day of his wedding. The evidence had already been reported.

The once famous Eastern Palace had now become a purgatory soaked in blood. The soldiers who were conducting the inspection condemned the Eastern Palace’s people and drove them to the main hall to kneel and await the decree. If they violated it slightly, the soldiers escorting them wouldn’t know either. The long saber slashed across, and blood accompanied screams, scaring many timid people into fainting. Even the bold ones were crying non-stop.

Lin Suisui opened her eyes in a daze amidst the screams and cries around her. Her eyes were red, making her already dizzy head feel even more disoriented.

What was going on?

She only remembered that she was on the towering wall. Her last memory was of the arrow that had pierced her chest…

Why was she in such an unfamiliar and chaotic environment when she opened her eyes again? She didn’t know anything!

So what did the heavens mean?

It wasn’t enough for her to die once, so God would let her die again?!

Lin Suisui sat on the ground. She had been taught by the Medicine King Valley and had done good deeds since she was young. She had saved countless lives over the years as a doctor. She shouldn’t have fallen into such a state!

The door of the hall was slammed open with a bang. A group of people in internal officials’ clothing rushed in with the smell of blood. Without any hesitation, they blocked Lin Suisui in the middle.

The leader was first stunned when he saw Lin Suisui, who was blocked in front of the bed. Then, the desire in his eyes made the hair on Lin Suisui’s body rise. She wasn’t only filled with fear, but also disgust.

“Tsk, I’ve long heard that the sixth daughter of the Left Ministry is a rare beauty. Now that I’ve seen her, she really lives up to her reputation!” This person took two steps forward and reached out to pinch Lin Sui’s chin.

Lin Suisui took a few steps back quickly and only stopped when she bumped into the bed behind her. She felt that the hand that was reaching out was sticky and disgusting, but now wasn’t the time to be distracted. She pulled a long face and tried her best to look at him. “Who are you to dare touch me?!”

“Tsk, I couldn’t tell. She’s feisty!”

The minister wasn’t angered by her, but turned around and laughed with his companions. When he looked over again, his eyes were already filled with affection. “Little beauty, I’m afraid you’re still dreaming of being the crown princess!

Little do you know that evidence of the crown prince’s rebellion is conclusive. Now, we’re just waiting for the Saint’s decree to destroy the Eastern Palace!

If you know what’s good for you, be obedient and let us dote on you. This way, even if you die, we can let you die faster!”

The minister’s words caused the surrounding people to laugh, but to Lin Suisui, who had fallen onto the bed, it was like a bolt of lightning that stunned her.

She was actually the crown princess now?!

Therefore, the current situation was that the crown prince had been accused of rebellion on the day of the crown prince’s wedding…

What about the crown prince?!

Countless thoughts swirled in her mind, and she was disoriented. How could she have the time to care about anything else? She was trying her best to make sense of everything. She didn’t feel it, but in the eyes of those people who wanted to humiliate her, she clearly looked like she was scared silly!

The eunuch was jealous. He had been instructed by the Third Prince to come and humiliate those in the East Palace!

If he could humiliate the crown princess, who had just entered the East Palace, in front of the crown prince’s bed…

These eunuchs were all people who had been stabbed. Compared to others, they were more dirty-minded and sinister. Seeing Lin Suisui’s pitiful appearance, they became even more lustful and eager. They took a few steps forward and approached her. “Little beauty, be obedient. I’ll dote on you. I might even think of a way to save you!”

“Are you serious?” Lin Suisui quietly tightened her grip on a golden hairpin hidden in her sleeve. She cowered and moved back again. Her delicate appearance of being scared out of her wits made her look cute and pitiful.

Her delicate appearance made the eunuch feel tantalized. How could he notice anything else? He only reached out to Lin Suisui’s lapel. “Beauty, you…”

The next moment, he felt a gust of sleeve wind and a pain in his neck.

Lin Suisui held the golden hairpin and stabbed it into his neck.

Her eyes, which had looked pitiful and on the verge of tears a moment ago, were only filled with coldness and determination now. They were like sharp blades that had been unsheathed!

Lin Suisui’s aim was extremely accurate. The entire hairpin almost sank into the eunuch’s neck, so when she pulled it out agilely, the blood that spewed out sprayed on her head and face.

Unfortunately, although this wound was fatal, it couldn’t kill him immediately!

“Bitch! Find…” The eunuch subconsciously raised his hand to cover his wound and took two steps back. He gritted his teeth. Lin Suisui was beautiful, and at this moment, she was stained with blood. Coupled with her burning gaze, she looked so beautiful that she was soul-stirring!

Even though he had been hit hard, the desire in his heart didn’t decrease at all. Instead, it became stronger!

He was going to play her to death!

However, before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened and he fell down.

There was a thin golden hairpin stuck between his eyebrows.

It was the one Lin Suisui had used to stab this eunuch!

Lin Suisui stared at the person on the ground and was dumbfounded.

He died?!

Thinking of the coldness that had just brushed past her fingertips, she turned around bit by bit and looked at the bed behind her, but she suddenly met a pair of deep black eyes.

He was like a piece of jade that had settled in a thousand-year-old cold pool, or a lone wolf in a desolate desert. He was ruthless and sadistic.

It was the crown prince.

He was half-leaning against the headboard. His pale, bloodless face was expressionless, but he looked at the panicked eunuchs with coldness. He looked at them like they were dead people.

“Come here.” The crown prince’s gaze finally landed on Lin Suisui. For once, he showed some warmth and reached out to her.
