Cold against the blade edge

  This can't go on like this! I thought to myself. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, looking incredibly anxious! He was actually that worried about Leng Shuai! If he found out Leng Shuai was a woman, how furious would he be!

  To extricate myself, it's necessary to stir up discord among his brothers. I'd like to see if this man is really as clever and astute as he seems! I smiled faintly. Standing outside the dressing room where my makeup was being done.

  "He's right here! He was still asleep when I left!" I whispered.

  He slightly raised an eyebrow, didn't look at me, stood up straight and gently knocked on the door.

  It's impossible for a man as boorish as him to stand up straight and knock on the door so politely, unless he has some ulterior motive.

  "There was no response inside. I hooked my lips and smiled secretly. "General, let me open the door and go in! How can he get up at this time?"

  He stretched out his hand to stop me, "No need! All the wounds on his body were caused by me. I respect him as a person, what's wrong with waiting for him to wake up here?" He said, then stood outside the door, like a straight and tall cypress tree!

  "I see that Your Highness is also a connoisseur of talent, so I won't hide it from you. When I just left, Leng Shuai was already unconscious! There's a woman taking care of him by his side, and having someone with him is better than being alone! Since Your Highness values talent, let me go in and wake him up!" I said sincerely.

  He slightly frowned. "You go in and wake him up?"

  I curtsied slightly and whispered, "Your Highness is wise, this humble woman has already become a grown-up person! I definitely won't harm Your Highness!"

  He clenched his fists slightly, took a deep breath, "Indeed a lecher! I'll wait here, you go in!" He narrowed his eyes and stared at me, as if he wanted to devour me.

  I nodded slightly and pushed the door open. Good you Long Nuyue, waiting here to catch me off guard! Just want me to change clothes and then show him again! Let him catch me in the act!

  If I changed clothes, he would look for me in women's clothing; if not, he would look for me in men's clothing! Whether or not I change, I am still a bird in his cage! There is no escape! I took out the short dagger from my waist and closed my eyes. From what I saw on the school grounds today, our strengths are really too far apart! If it weren't for my luck, I would have been killed by him!

  I'm done! Today, even if it means death, I must escape! With a determined mind, I changed into men's clothing. Washing off the rouge on my face, I opened the door and let the night wind blow through his hair, making him look dangerous and wild. It was only then that I discovered his hair had a slight curl to it, and he looked tall and menacing, like an eagle in the dark of night.

  As I opened the door, he straightened up and took a step forward. "You're here! Where's that woman?"

  Here! My lips slightly curled up. "General Thunder Fury, how did you end up here!" I exclaimed loudly.

  He narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, his gaze passing over me to scan the room. "She went in, she's gone! And you, you came out! You're a woman!" He said firmly. His eyes were shining brightly.

  "Is the one Your Highness is talking about a woman wearing a red dress with a heart-shaped hairpin on her forehead? Yang Hong! Come out! Don't keep hiding in there to make yourself look good! Women are just vain!" I raised an eyebrow.

  He furrowed his brow, just about to speak, when he suddenly let out a muffled groan and crumpled to the ground! Long Yunya stood in the darkness, gesturing to me. He whispered, "Hurry up and leave!"

  I snorted coldly and followed him flying away!

  The dagger for close combat was stuck to my body. I entered the inn with them. Today, they returned without success and still plotted against me. It ended up that I had to abandon the pawn to save the chariot, and in my heart, I couldn't swallow this breath!

  A metallic sound cut through the air, and with a swift motion, a dagger was thrust into the intricately carved red wooden table in front of the prince.

  "What are you doing!" The five of them stood up in a row, assuming a battle-ready stance! Surrounding me in the middle!

  "What are you doing! Your Highness! You princes! You want me, Ye Hanmei, to be loyal, but yet you frame me like this! What kind of master is this, how can I follow?! Today, you make me disguise as those four courtesan girls and lose my dignity, and then take their bodies, what's the meaning of this! Do you think I, Ye Hanmei, am nobody!" I shouted loudly with wide eyes.

  "You dare to use a knife on the prince! With so many men around, I don't believe you're not afraid!" Long Yunya laughed.

  "Hmph! You can kill me if you want! But from now on, anyone who dares to touch those courtesan women will be cursed with a lifetime of impotence! The Crown Prince has no heir, how can he become the Emperor?!"

  "How dare you secretly plot against the Crown Prince!"

  Five people, five swords, pointing at me from all sides! I raised my head with a cold smile, "When one does wrong, they must pay the price! You think the price for plotting against me is this? I, Ye Hanmei, always keep my word! Since I accepted the prince's red silk, I will be loyal to the prince. If the master treats me unkindly, why should I be righteous towards him?"

  "You really aren't afraid of death!" The crown prince said coldly.

  I raised my chin, sneering coldly. "Who told you I'm afraid of death? Your Highness! By joining your side, we thought that in the future, you would definitely become a wise and just ruler! You would treat us well, those of us who risk our lives for you! The way to govern a country is the same as the way to govern an army. Military discipline is strict! Treat subordinates like brothers and sisters! Your Highness's behavior is a typical case of 'the rabbit dies, the dog gets cooked'! Do you think there will be many people willing to follow you? It's better for you to surrender to the Fourth Prince early!" My words pierced the hearts of these four men. No one can guarantee that the Crown Prince will treat them well after he ascends to power.

  Long Yunya's sword quickly reached my throat. I smiled coldly. "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has two options to choose from. The first one! Bow your head and say sorry to me! And grant me a military position! From now on, no one is allowed to question my actions! Show me 100% trust! I, Ye Hanmei, will also put aside past grievances and give the antidote to Your Highness! Change the fate of being unable to have children for life to three years! And be loyal to the Crown Prince! The second option... Kill me! From now on, the Crown Prince will never have an heir!"

  My voice echoes in the room. For a moment, no one speaks!

  I've grown up in the midst of storms since I was young, and such scenes are almost a daily occurrence! What's the point of compromising when you can have a refreshing collapse like jade shattering or tiles breaking?!

  "Aren't you afraid I'll inform the Demonic Dragon Clan that you're still alive?" Long Yuexia's face turned iron-green as he said.

  "Coldly smiling at the blade, 'Yehanmei has always been alone, no relatives, no friends! What's the big deal about one life?! Even if it means death! I will still guard my chastity! Even if it means death! I will make those who covet my chastity pay the price! Crown Prince! How do you answer?!"
