Chapter 280 Fulfilling the Engagement on Your Behalf

At this point, the Venerable's expression became even more ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Not only that, you even gave up your years of hard work and profound cultivation, just to be able to marry that lowly mortal.

The most hateful thing is your father and mother. They clearly betrothed you to me, but they also allowed you to ruin your future and humiliate yourself. It's really hateful!

Humph, even if you regret it now and try to return to the side of this Holy Son, it is futile.

How could this Saint Son ever again take notice of a broken, withered woman like you? Let alone marry her again.

But... now that things have come to this, let your daughter fulfill this engagement on your behalf!" He snorted coldly.

At the same time, Zhao Yucheng hurriedly walked out of the side hall and quickly rushed to the door of the room where Princess Lin Shiyi lived.

He pushed the door open and entered the house in a flash.

His eyes, which were already extremely cold, were now like thousand-year-old ice as he ruthlessly scanned the three women standing in a row in front of him.

"Who just walked out of this room? Tell the truth!" Zhao Yucheng's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying a chilling pressure.

Hearing this, the three women looked at each other and exchanged glances.

"Your Highness, I have never left the room." They shook their heads and said in unison.

Lin Shiyi then took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then mustered up the courage to say:

"Your Majesty, my two sisters and I have been staying in this room since we finished serving you!"

As she spoke, she stole a glance at Zhao Yucheng's stern face, and her heart couldn't help but pounding.

Zhao Yucheng, expressionless, once again slowly swept his gaze over the three women in front of him, only to see that their eyes were extremely firm, with no intention of dodging at all.

He thought to himself that even if these women were given immense courage, they would not dare to follow him so easily.

Besides, I have already tortured them to exhaustion just now. I believe that they have lost all the strength to even move their legs to follow me.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yucheng snorted coldly, turned around and left the room without looking back.

After Zhao Yucheng's figure completely disappeared at the door, Lin Shiyi, Concubine Li and Concubine Liu breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

Concubine Li patted her chest lightly and said with lingering fear, "I finally escaped this disaster. I was really scared to death!"

Lin Shiyi and Concubine Liu also looked relieved and nodded in agreement.

The three of them looked at each other and saw the joy and relief of surviving the disaster in each other's eyes, while at the same time feeling sad for their own situation.

At the same time, Wang Xinyao was also worried in the manor. Although she had given an early warning, she didn't know whether Zhao Haoxuan had really escaped the crisis.

"Madam, something seems amiss outside. There are suspicious shadows hanging around."

At this time, Xiao Xizi came running over and was awakened when the man in black left.

Wang Xinyao's heart tightened, and she instantly became alert. She quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to catch any unusual movement.

At this moment, a dark shadow flashed in, followed by a familiar and deep voice: "Don't be afraid, it's me."

Hearing this voice, Wang Xinyao felt relieved a little.

The person who came was Zhao Haoxuan. He was as fast as the wind and came in front of Wang Xinyao in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Haoxuan reached out his hand without hesitation, held Wang Xinyao's hand tightly, and said softly:

"Xinyao, this place is not safe. Come back to the East Palace with me now. Only by staying by my side can I keep you safe."

Looking at Zhao Haoxuan with a concerned look on his face, Wang Xinyao couldn't help feeling touched, but at the same time, she was also deeply worried.

She frowned slightly and asked softly, "Brother Zhao, why are you here? Didn't I tell you before not to take the risk of coming to see me again? What if we get discovered..."

At this time, Xiao Xizixian, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward and respectfully saluted Zhao Haoxuan, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Then, he tactfully turned around and left the room, carefully closed the door, and stood quietly at the door.

Wang Xinyao took a deep breath and spoke again:

"Brother Zhao, the emperor hasn't set a specific date for our wedding yet. If I rashly move into the East Palace now, I'm afraid it will attract criticism from everyone.

This will not only damage my reputation, but may also have an adverse impact on you!"

You know, her current identity is extremely special and sensitive.

At such a delicate moment, she must not do anything that would make her a laughing stock!

However, facing this situation, Zhao Haoxuan still said stubbornly: "But, even so, I'm still worried about you!"

The concern was evident in his words.

Wang Xinyao smiled softly, and she gently comforted the anxious man in front of her: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I can protect myself! Don't worry."

That smile seemed to have a magical power that made people want to trust every word she said.

Hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then asked with a look of suspicion on his face: "Are you serious?"

It seems that he still has doubts about Wang Xinyao's so-called life-saving ability.

Wang Xinyao nodded without hesitation and replied firmly, "Of course it's true, please believe me!"

For a moment, there was a brief silence between the two, and the air around them seemed to freeze.

Finally, after careful consideration, Zhao Haoxuan spoke again, breaking the silence:

"Okay, Xinyao, since you're so confident, I won't say any more for now. But... you must be more careful and protect yourself.

Also, just wait here for my news. I will go and plead with my father to set an auspicious date for our wedding as soon as possible!"

After saying this, he gazed at Wang Xinyao affectionately, his eyes filled with deep love and expectation.

After Zhao Haoxuan turned and left, Wang Xinyao sat on the exquisitely carved chair in the room.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at the swaying branches outside the window, her mind full of thoughts.

She knew that Zhao Haoxuan's love for her was passionate and firm.

However, the ever-changing situation and power struggles in the palace are like a bottomless whirlpool. If you are not careful, you will be sucked into it and there is no way out.

She really couldn't bear to see Zhao Haoxuan getting into danger again and again because of her, going back and forth between the East Palace and the manor every night.

Now that I am eighteen years old and my body is developing very well, if possible, marrying him as soon as possible might be a good choice, right?

However, she knew very well that if she really wanted to get married early, it might not be as smooth as she imagined.
