Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cheng Qi was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up. He was extremely unhappy.

He looked at the female official with a dark expression and dealt with her impatiently.

“Alright, alright, I know.”

The female official was still a little worried and instructed carefully, “Her Highness has instructed you to be on time. If she’s mocked because of you, please bear the consequences.”

Cheng Qi enunciated each word clearly. “I promise I’ll be there on time! Is that okay?”

The female official bowed and left.

As soon as they left, Cheng Qi kicked over the stool beside him and gritted his teeth.

“Isn’t she just a lousy princess? Does she really think of herself as a queen? I have always been at her beck and call, never caring about my feelings.” “‘ You haven’t even had a child in years. What kind of woman are you?”

“It was fine if you refused to give birth yourself, but you actually killed another woman and her child!”

“You’re causing me to have no descendants!”

“I’m really unlucky to have married a vicious woman like you!”

The servant shrank his neck, not daring to make a sound.

After Cheng Qi finished cursing, the servant went forward and set the stool up.

He advised softly, “Don’t be angry. It might harm your body.”

Cheng Qi placed his hands on his hips and sneered.

“Since she doesn’t treat me as a person, I’ll make sure she can’t even be a living person! Have you arranged everything I asked you to arrange?”

The servant nodded. “It’s all been arranged. The poison has been added to the dishes and wine. The guests attending the birthday banquet have also been swapped. I guarantee that Princess Ni Yang won’t leave today’s birthday banquet alive.”

Cheng Qi could not help but laugh when he thought of Princess Ni Yang dying on the spot.

“Haha, after so many years, I’ve finally waited until today!

“Vicious woman, let’s see how long you can be arrogant.”

He could not wait to see that scene. He immediately stretched out his arms.

“Help me change. I’m going to celebrate Princess Ni Yang’s birthday… Oh, no, her birthday will soon become the anniversary of her death. I should go pay my respects to her.”

The servant quickly helped Cheng Qi put on the gown.

Cheng Qi straightened his clothes in the mirror.

After being married for more than twenty years, he was still handsome, but if one looked closely, one would see a few small lines at the corners of his eyes and the corners of his mouth. His eyes were no longer as bright as when he was young.

He looked away from the mirror. “Let’s go.”

Back then, the emperor gave him and Princess Ni Yang a marriage. On the surface, it was a gift to the Cheng family, but in fact, he wanted to use this method to tie the Cheng family and the royal family together.

This was a calculated political marriage.

Cheng Qi knew this very well, so he had never thought of giving his feelings to this marriage. However he played before the marriage, he would continue with it after the marriage.

As for Princess Ni Yang, she could also play to her heart’s content.

The two of them just didn’t interfere with each other.

Even if Princess Ni Yang had a bad temper, he endured it.

But she should never have killed his bloodline.

He was already forty years old this year. Brothers around his age already had grandchildren, but he did not even have a son or daughter.

Cheng Qi still could not forget the scene of him rushing to the courtyard outside the city ten years ago. When he pushed open the door, he saw his mistress lying in a pool of blood and on her last breath, shouting to save her child.

The only child he’d had in years had drowned in a vat.

When he fished the child out of the vat, his small body was cold.

The vengeance for killing his son was irreconcilable!

Cheng Qi strode forward, his eyes filled with hatred.

Today was that woman’s birthday. She had set up a birthday banquet in the residence. All the famous people in Liangzhou would come to congratulate her.

He had chosen this time today, when she was at her most glorious, to make her bleed on the spot!

Let her have a taste of falling from the clouds into the mire and shattering into pieces!

Cheng Qi happened to meet Yu Niaoniao halfway.

After Yu Niaoniao dressed up, she walked to the front courtyard with Chun Feng and Ye Yu, preparing to attend Princess Ni Yang’s birthday banquet. She did not expect to bump into Cheng Qi.

The two sides met at the intersection.

Cheng Qi sized Yu Niaoniao up with an impudent gaze.

“Niaoniao looks even more beautiful than usual with this outfit today.”

Because she was attending the birthday banquet, Yu Niaoniao especially changed into a dress that represented her status as the County Princess. Her already exquisite facial features became even more beautiful and moving after being carefully drawn.

She did not like Cheng Qi’s naked gaze, which seemed to want to strip her, and frowned.

“Thank you for your praise, Prince Consort. I still have to attend the birthday banquet, so I’ll leave first.”

She was about to circle around Cheng Qi when Cheng Qi reached out and stopped her.

He smiled and said, “What’s the hurry? There’s still some time before the birthday banquet begins. Since we met here, it means that we’re fated. Why don’t we sit down and have a good chat?”

Yu Niaoniao looked at him warily.

“We have nothing to talk about.”

Cheng Qi took a step forward and asked in a low voice, “Don’t you want to know how Duke Lang died?”

Yu Niaoniao’s expression immediately changed as she said hatefully.

“You killed Duke Lang!”

Cheng Qi laughed. “So what if I did? But do you have evidence?”

Yu Niaoniao was furious. She raised her hand to slap him.

However, before her hand could land, Cheng Qi grabbed it.

Cheng Qi pinched her wrist and smiled even more impudently.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a soft little hand. How can you use it to hit someone?”

Chun Feng and Ye Yu hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to pull Cheng Qi away.

“Prince Consort, please respect yourself!”

Cheng Qi said impatiently, “Tie these two girls up. Don’t let them interfere with my business.”

The attendants behind Cheng Qi immediately grabbed Chun Feng and Ye Yu.

They struggled desperately. “What are you doing? Let go. Help..

Before they could shout, their mouths were covered.

Immediately after, they were tightly tied up and their mouths were gagged by cloth. They could not make a sound.

Yu Niaoniao looked at Cheng Qi in disbelief.

“Are you crazy? This is the princess’s residence!”

Cheng Qi looked indifferent. “So what if it’s the princess’s residence?”

Yu Niaoniao stepped back. “Aren’t you afraid that Princess Ni Yang will be angry?

Cheng Qi said, “She can’t even protect herself. How can she care about you and

Yu Niaoniao’s heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling.

“What did you do?”

Cheng Qi grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

“Do you want to know? As long as you serve me well and make me happy, I’ll tell you everything.”

Yu Niaoniao raised her knee and slammed it into his lower abdomen.

An intense pain came to his vital part, and Cheng Qi

Yu Niaoniao took the opportunity to break free fron away.

Cheng Qi took out the saber at the attendant’s waist Chun Feng’s neck. His tone was extremely ruthless.

“If you dare to run, I’ll kill these two girls immediately!”
