What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 412 - 408: Excessively Delicate

The light warm cloak fell, covering Tang Xiaobai from head to toe.

The tip of her nose touched the thick collar, a bit cold.

Tang Xiaobai instinctively sniffed upwards little by little and finally rubbed against the skin.

She took a deep breath, the cold mixed with wind and snow drilled straight into her brain through her nasal cavity.

In an instant, the sound of the wind melted away, and the battle dispersed.

Tang Xiaobai’s eyes heated up, she held him tighter, unconsciously rubbing his chin’s skin, wanting to absorb the warmth within.

Suddenly, the Adam’s apple close at hand moved, brushing past her nose tip.

Tang Xiaobai was slightly stunned, then she was lifted up.

With this action, Tang Xiaobai’s head swayed, returning to her senses, and quickly grabbed his clothes: "Sister—"

"Li Xingyuan is already gone." His voice seemed to be quenched with ice and snow, unusually cold.

But Tang Xiaobai was now filled with worries, too busy to pay attention to these details: "Let’s go too!"

He did not respond, silently lifting her onto his mount.

Tang Xiaobai’s gaze inadvertently turned back to the manor gate.

Cheng Zi was being placed on a horse’s back by a Xuan Yi Guard, her limbs hanging limply, and though the arrow on her back was broken, a small section still protruded.

Tang Xiaobai closed her eyes, took off the cloak covering her, and handed it to a nearby Xuan Yi Guard: "Send Cheng back to the Eastern Palace properly."

Her gaze shifted again, Luo Xiong’s body still lay where it was, eyes wide open, the pain of shock still fresh on his face.

A dagger was still embedded in his abdomen, blood gushing forth.

Li Mu followed her gaze: "Bring the dagger."

The Xuan Yi Guard took the dagger, wiped it clean, and presented it.

This was an exquisitely crafted dagger, narrower, smaller, and easier to conceal than ordinary daggers.

Tang Xiaobai recognized it at first glance as the defensive weapon she had Cheng Zi choose last month.

Judging by the clues Cheng Zi left at home, she had actively followed or tracked Luo Xiong here.

She specifically brought the dagger, without any hesitation took Luo Xiong’s life at the brink of death.

After stabbing, she didn’t even spare Luo Xiong another glance.

A seemingly gentle and approachable woman, more decisive than anyone when making cuts.

Tang Xiaobai recalled Luo Xiong’s question before his death.

Hatred? Perhaps he didn’t deserve it.

From the moment he deceived and used Cheng Zi, he no longer deserved it.

Fingertips brushed the blade surface gently, Tang Xiaobai whispered: "This is Cheng’s dagger, place it with her..."

As the dagger left her sight, she instinctively followed it with her eyes, suddenly her vision went dark, blocked.

"Wrap up." A voice came from overhead, cold and indifferent.

Tang Xiaobai was distressed, didn’t notice these details, obediently pulled his cloak around her, adjusted her posture, nestled closer into his embrace.

The moment her back leaned against his chest, she distinctly felt the aura of the Crown Prince gentled quite a bit.

Just the same as always...

Tang Xiaobai burrowed further into his arms, breathing in the fresh scent of bamboo, dew, and snowy pines that lingered on him, gradually relaxing her nerves.

"Why did you come now? Isn’t it next month?" Tang Xiaobai asked.

Tao Fen estimated he would return within five days, but not even five hours had passed before he was in front of her.

At first, hearing his voice, Tang Xiaobai thought she was hallucinating.

Clearly, the day before she had just received a letter from the Crown Prince, saying he would request to return to the court next month, and it was only the next day! Surely the memorial had just reached the Emperor’s desk?

"With nothing else to do, after the memorial I decided to move first with Li Xingyuan," the Crown Prince replied confidently, "Since the decree hadn’t arrived, I planned to stay in Qizhou temporarily, didn’t expect to coincidentally encounter the messenger from Brother Tao——" at this point, he glanced down at her, a faint hum escaping him.

Tang Xiaobai’s scalp tingled slightly, she then asked, "How did Li Xingyuan know where my sister was?" Even she only knew a direction.

The Crown Prince hummed again, coldly saying: "Didn’t I find you? Why couldn’t Li Xingyuan?"

Tang Xiaobai: ...

What kind of logic is that?

"How did you find me?" Tang Xiaobai asked again. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He was silent for a moment, then said: "Wherever you are, I can find you."

Seventy percent indifference, twenty percent pride, and ten percent subtle self-satisfaction, totaling a perfect chart.

Even though it was somewhat inappropriate, Tang Xiaobai couldn’t help but smile: "Was it Mo Huan and Mo Ji who contacted you?"

The Crown Prince stubbornly remained silent.

"So do you know where to go now?"

The Crown Prince still said nothing, but the horse he rode slowed and stopped.

After their team stopped, Tang Xiaobai also heard the sound of incoming hoofbeats from a distance.

She poked out half of her face from the cloak.

The snow was still falling, fluttering like goose feathers, and as far as the eye could see, everything was covered in silver.

Amidst the icy landscape, a mass of cavalry was charging towards them.

Among the front ranks, a white and a red figure stood out distinctively.

White was pure white, the one in white clothes stood tall and proud, with a bright aura—Li Xingyuan;

Red was crimson, the one in red was graceful like jade, with captivating beauty—Qin Xiao.

Tang Xiaobai’s eyes almost dazzled.

Truly the male and female leads!

But soon her gaze fell on the space between Li Xingyuan and Qin Xiao.

The horse was a Dawan steed, recognizable as Li Xingyuan’s mount.

The person was wrapped in a large black cloak, barely showing a pair of eyes.

"Sister!" Tang Xiaobai excitedly poked her head out and called.

Separated by wind and snow, Tang Xiaobai still clearly felt the person under the black cloak flaring up, urging the steed to speed up and run closer.

When they got near, the black cloak shook loose a little, revealing Tang Jiaojiao’s entire face.

There were some slight bruises and redness on her face, but her pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes still shone brightly.

It’s good that she’s alright...

Only then did Tang Xiaobai completely relax.

Unexpectedly, Miss Tang suddenly furrowed her brows, showing seventy percent disdain, thirty percent contempt: "Why are you hiding? Can’t you ride by yourself?"

Tang Xiaobai was momentarily taken aback, looked at her, then at Li Xingyuan.

Li Xingyuan gave her a helpless look.

Miss Tang had been kidnapped for several hours, shock and hardship were inevitable.

Was Li Xingyuan not cherishing her delicacy?

Tang Xiaobai thought a bit with her toes and knew, it must be Miss Tang’s pride that wouldn’t allow her to weakly hide in a man’s embrace on the way back.

Thus, the Second Miss Tang, who hadn’t been kidnapped and was hiding in a man’s arms, seemed excessively delicate.

Tang Xiaobai felt ashamed.

But now, would coming out also be quite embarrassing?

As she hesitated, suddenly, her face was covered again.

A hand pressed her against the chest through the cloak.

"She’s injured." The Crown Prince’s words were cold yet natural.

...

And so, Crown Prince Consort Tang returned to the Eastern Palace, entered Lizheng Hall, hiding in a man’s arms.

Only when she was placed on the bed did she crawl out of the cloak.

As soon as she emerged, she met the Crown Prince’s dark, cold eyes.

"Explain." He said.

Tang Xiaobai was bewildered.

Explain what?
