Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Little Bruiser definitely didn’t do this out of personal anger. At that time, he didn’t know that the other party was the Ninth Princess’s husband. He only confirmed the other party’s identity after killing him, but no one would believe him.
Especially the Ninth Princess, she would not believe it.
After killing her husband, he turned around and proposed to marry her. No one would agree. Unfortunately, this was a marriage alliance between two countries. The Ninth Princess was married to the Commandery Prince of
Nanzhao and the Princely Heir of the Duke Manor. She had no room to resist.
However, she did not eat or drink along the way. She was relying on the imperial physician to maintain her life with pills. Otherwise, she would be dead by the time she arrived at the Duke Manor.
When Little Bruiser heard that she was so unwilling to marry him, he was so anxious that he stopped the carriage halfway.
“You guys, stand down!” He instructed coldly.
The people who sent the bride and groom were all his people, so how could they not listen to him? They hurriedly retreated thirty feet away.
Little Bruiser lifted the curtain and got into the carriage. He sat on a bench at the side, and the Ninth Princess, who was dressed in a phoenix coronet and robe, sat on a red bench facing the curtain.
The Ninth Princess was wearing a veil, so Little Bruiser couldn’t see her expression clearly. However, looking at her tense body and her tight grip on the handkerchief, it wasn’t difficult to tell that she was afraid.
Little Bruiser was furious again.
What did he do? Why was this woman afraid of him? Didn’t he just shoot her man to death? He had already compensated her. What else did she want?
Little Bruiser and the Ninth Princess had made a mistake.
Back then, Little Bruiser was temporarily staying in the Young Master Manor, and the Ninth Princess had also moved in for a while. However, not long after that, the saint army captured Yu City. Yu Shaoqing brought Little Bruiser back to Nanzhao to get reinforcements.
The two little fellows were in the budding stage and were extinguished with a whoosh. After that, Little Bruiser never returned to the Great Zhou. It was not that he did not want to, but he was too young. Children did not have human rights.
He would do whatever the adults told him to. The Old Madam doted on her precious grandchild. She couldn’t control her eldest grandson, Yan Jiuchao, and Helian Sheng. How could she not control her younger grandson?
This lasted for ten years.
When Little Bruiser could finally leave the Helian Manor, a shocking “bad news” came from the Great Zhou—the Ninth Princess was getting married.
She was married to the Crown Princess Consort’s maternal cousin.
Back then, after Yan Huaijing was deposed, the Fifth Prince, Prince Cheng, was conferred the title of the new Crown Prince. His Princess Consort was the
Commandery Princess of Xiongnu, who was later the Crown Princess Consort.
Back then, when the Fifth Prince was asked to marry the Commandery Princess of the Xiongnu, everyone thought that he had no hope of becoming the Emperor. Even the Emperor thought so. After all, the Emperor would not be willing to hand his empire over to a prince with half the Xiongnu bloodline.
On the other hand, the Xiongnu side was quite ambitious. Once they found out that the Xiongnu Commandery Princess had given birth to the royal heir, they would definitely eliminate all difficulties to support her son to ascend the throne. After he ascended the throne, they would infiltrate their forces and slowly take the Great Zhou for themselves.
This was not impossible.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Emperor would never let Prince Cheng be the Crown Prince.
The Emperor had even threatened Prince Cheng that he could only choose between the position of Crown Prince and the Commandery Princess of Xiongnu. In the future, the Commandery Princess of Xiongnu could be a concubine, but she could not be a Empress, nor could she give birth to a prince.
Prince Cheng and the Commandery Princess of Xiongnu could be considered to have formed a good relationship in the battle.
If he had said this to Prince Cheng a few years ago, Prince Cheng might have agreed. However, the two of them had long developed feelings for each other.
Prince Cheng was unwilling to give up his first wife to fight for the position of Crown Prince.
Prince Cheng was a grateful person. One could tell from his interactions with
Yu Wan. The Emperor had appointed him because of his integrity and kindness. If he really abandoned his first wife, he would not be the wise ruler in the Emperor’s heart.
Princess Consort Cheng was not to be trifled with. When she heard that Prince Cheng would rather not be the Crown Prince for her, she immediately became ruthless and cut ties with the Xiongnu.
Now that the Great Zhou had a powerful ally like Nanzhao, there seemed to be nothing for the Xiongnu to be afraid of.
However, they were from her maternal family after all. How could they really not get along? After confirming that the Xiongnu were really behaving themselves, Princess Consort Cheng, to be precise, the Crown Princess Consort, gradually resumed her dealings with her family.
Once, the Crown Princess Consort’s younger cousin came to visit her and took a fancy to the Ninth Princess. That younger cousin was talented and had a good character. This marriage was decided just like that.
However, no one expected that as soon as the Ninth Princess arrived at the Xiongnu, her younger cousin’s grandfather would collude with the Xianbei people to rebel.
Little Bruiser led the army north. He was going to help the Great Zhou suppress the Xiongnu rebels and the Xianbei people, but that Commandery Prince of the Xiongnu was also a fool. Not only did he not put justice before family, he even helped his grandfather escape.
Little Bruiser had shot him to death as a rebel while chasing after them. Strictly speaking, he could be considered an accomplice. Although he was deceived, as the Commandery Prince, he did not have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. It was not unjust for him to die.
However, later on, he heard that this Commandery Prince treated the Ninth Princess very well. During his escape, he did not let the Ninth Princess suffer at all. Even when his grandfather suggested chopping off the Ninth Princess’s finger and threatening the Great Zhou to retreat, he did not do as he was told.
Little Bruiser had mixed feelings after knowing the truth.
It wasn’t that Little Bruiser didn’t think he deserved to die. He had committed such a serious crime. If he didn’t shoot him to death, the Xiongnu Khan would also execute him. The problem was, if he died, where would the Ninth Princess
What did the Ninth Princess think of this husband?
It was said that a husband and wife would be indebted to each other for a day. Did the Ninth Princess already have a place for him in her heart? Would she be sad if he died? Would she hate him? Would she think that he had deliberately shot him?
Little Bruiser felt a headache coming on!
“Would you believe me if I told you that I didn’t mean to shoot your husband?” Little Bruiser finally spoke.
It would have been fine if he hadn’t mentioned this, but once he did, the Ninth Princess’s entire body trembled slightly. Little Bruiser felt a lump in his chest.
What’s wrong? So she couldn’t speak? Was she so frightened the moment he opened his mouth? Was he a demon?
“I told you it wasn’t on purpose!” Little Bruiser emphasized.
Smack!
It was a tear that dripped onto the back of the Ninth Princess’s fair hand.
Little Bruiser instantly panicked. What was going on? Why was she crying?
“I… I really didn’t know that he was your husband! At that time, I was ordered to kill the enemies. He was an accomplice, but he still didn’t surrender. I had no choice. If I didn’t kill them, the ones who would be killed would be the soldiers of the Great Zhou. Do you understand what I’m saying? Even on the battlefield… a small hesitation would cause unnecessary casualties. I can’t let the soldiers tempt fate for nothing.”
Little Bruiser didn’t know if she understood everything he said, but when he saw the more tears on the back of her hand, his heart clenched into a ball, and his tone couldn’t help but weaken. “Can’t I compensate myself to you? I promise to treat you better than him.”
The Ninth Princess was still crying.
Little Bruiser wondered why she wasn’t moved at all after he explained so much. Little Bruiser’s eyes widened as a bold thought flashed through his mind. “Yan Pingting! Don’t tell me you don’t remember me?! ”
The Ninth Princess’s crying stopped.
Little Bruiser gasped. Why did he feel that this woman was feeling guilty?!
Little Bruiser clenched his fists tightly and pressed her against the wall of the carriage. He pulled off her veil and looked at her crying face and her gaze. He gritted his teeth and said, “Yan, Ping, Ting!”
The Ninth Princess’s little body trembled!
His guess was most confirmed. Damn woman, she really didn’t remember him! No wonder she was so frightened. Did he think she was a big pervert with some strange fetish? After killing her husband, he would marry her and slowly torture her to death. Was that what she thought?
Damn it!
“You’ve been keeping your vows for your husband for three years. I’ve agreed and waited until now to marry you. I don’t have a concubine. Do you think I’m really trying to marry you and torture you?”
Little Bruiser was about to explode with anger, but he still returned to the main topic. “When exactly did you forget about me?”
The Ninth Princess bit her lip and did not say anything.
The Ninth Princess lowered her head guiltily. Little Bruiser mercilessly grabbed her chin and sneered. “Very good. Since you’ve forgotten, I’ll help you recall! ”
He tore at her phoenix coronet and robe. From inside the carriage came her desperate cries.
Half an hour later, a Ninth Princess with a bun and Little Bruiser in a long robe appeared in a courtyard. It was really difficult to take off the phoenix coronet and robe. His hand was injured! However, he finally changed her into the same princess outfit from back then.
Little Bruiser pointed to a spot in the backyard and said, “This is the swing you swung back then. I moved it from the Young Master Manor to Nanzhao! Sit down! Move yourself!”
The Ninth Princess, who didn’t want to move at all:
