595 Giving a Beauty a Flower (6)

“Prince Rui, why are you here?” Princess Ming An finally came back to senses from the shock of Xie Changchao’s death. She seemed to have finally sensed the danger under the night sky. Her heart was beating abnormally fast.

The man’s voice was as gentle and calm as the breeze, but it was also like the snow falling from the sky on Lake Wanli. It looked beautiful, but it made people shiver. He said, “Surrounded by such beautiful scenery, isn’t this place very suitable for a burial ground?”

Xie Changwu asked, “Why would you do this? I have no grudge against you. Can’t you let us go?” Knowing that Prince Rui was here to take his life but he had no way out, Xie Changwu finally couldn’t hold back the fear in his heart and shouted.

“No grudge?” Prince Rui seemed to have heard a joke and said, “You’re really forgetful.”

“Xie Changwu, all these years, you haven’t improved at all, just like your stupid brother,” he said.

Then he slowly pulled off the cloth on his face.

The boat was only dimly lit by the candle, but when this man revealed his face, he was as dazzling as the bright sun. His thin lips curled up into a mocking smile as usual. He looked at the two of them with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He was the nightmare of Xie Changwu’s life.

“Xie Jingxing!”

Princess Ming An was engrossed in this man’s charming face. She was thinking to herself that Prince Rui’s face under the mask was as mesmerizing as the rumors said, but her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Xie Changchao’s hysteric shout.

Xie Jingxing? Wasn’t that the son of the Xie family who died on the battlefield two years ago?

“It’s good that you still remember me.” Xie Jingxing smiled, but his originally handsome smile was especially terrifying in Xie Changchao’s eyes. He turned around and was about to run. It was an instinctive reaction, just like how prey would react when it was in danger.

His body was pressed down, and his mouth was gagged. He could not move at all. Princess Ming An was also treated the same.

The pleasure boat was stuck in the middle of Lake Wanli. At midnight, the street was empty. The tavern in the distance was still lit up, filled with singing and dancing. However, what happened on this side went unnoticed.

Xie Changchao and Princess Ming An were held down by the men in black and watched helplessly as the person in the lead turned around and walked out of the boat.

Even on the ice, his walking was steady and graceful, and his voice was as cold as the winter ice that chilled people to the bone.
