In the pharmacy of Wu Manor.
Zhu Houcan was preparing some medicine for Yao Yue and Lian Xing. After all, he couldn't stay by their side all the time. If he met a lunatic like Shi Guanyin, he could still protect himself.
"Prince, that Lady Wang hasn't eaten for a day and hasn't left her room. Go and take a look!”
A maid walked in and said to Zhu Houcan.
"Alright, I got it! I'll be there in a while!"
Zhu Houcan nodded after hearing the maid's words, but he was not in a hurry. He prepared the last antidote and only walked out of the pharmacy after packing it up.
In the guest room, Wang Yuyan was a little lost. She had been sitting there for a day and a night. She felt like a joke now. In the past, she thought that her cousin loved her, but yesterday, her dream was shattered. The marriage contract that she had written was actually given to a stranger by her cousin.
Was glory, wealth, and the great cause of restoring the country that important?
"Lady Wang!"
There was a knock on the door. Was it the man with her marriage contract? Wang Yuyan did not know how to face him, nor did she know how to face him.
However, she did not dare to refuse to meet him. After all, the marriage contract was meaningless to people in the martial arts world, but it was very important to her.
"Young Master Zhu, come in!"
His voice was a little hoarse, but it was understandable. He had not drunk water to speak for a day and a night, so how could his throat be any better?
The door of the room was opened, and Zhu Houcan, who was dressed in a white dragon embroidered robe, walked in.
"Are you not feeling well? The maid said that you haven't eaten!"
Zhu Houcan looked at the woman who was curled up like a puppy and said gently.
"No, I'm fine! "I just can't eat…" Wang Yuyan said with a sob.
"Not even drinking water? That won't do!"
Zhu Houcan picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup, and handed it to Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan held the cup and stared blankly.
"Drink, stop looking!"
Zhu Houcan comforted him gently.
Wang Yuyan asked Zhu Houcan after she had finished drinking the water and regained some of her energy.
"Am I particularly stupid?"
Zhu Houcan was stunned for a moment before asking.
"Why would you say that?"
"You clearly told that Miss Zhao, but I still feel that you're slandering him. I still want to see him, but he…"
At this point, Wang Yuyan choked up again.
"I respected him since I was young. I always followed whatever he said and never disobeyed him…"
As she spoke, Wang Yuyan began to cry. After crying for a while, she choked and continued,
"We were childhood sweethearts. I had long fallen in love with him…but he used me as a tool to restore his country!”
The more Wang Yuyan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She hugged Zhu Houcan and wailed.
Zhu Houcan looked at Wang Yuyan, who was crying in his arms, and felt a little helpless.
He could only persuade her nicely.
"Lady Wang, there is no need to be like this. Although I have agreed to Young Master Murong's deal, I am not someone who would ignore your feelings. This is the marriage contract that you wrote, so I will return it to you. I only hope that you will be able to recognize me next time!”
As he spoke, Zhu Houcan handed the marriage contract to Wang Yuyan.
Zhu Houcan himself did not intend to ask for this marriage contract. This marriage contract was a problem. He already had so many girls in his family. He really did not need Wang Yuyan.
"Thank you! Young Master Zhu!" Wang Yuyan was clearly surprised.
"Alright, go and eat something. After all, your elder and I are close friends. It won't be good if you think that I've neglected you!”
Zhu Houcan smiled and patted Wang Yuyan's shoulder.
"Of course not. Thank you, Young Master Zhu!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of hunger.
"Men, serve Miss Wang the dishes!"
Zhu Houcan said to the maid.
"Lady Wang, I won't disturb you anymore. Farewell!”
Looking at the blushing Wang Yuyan, Zhu Houcan casually left the guest room.
Three days later.
The execution ground.
At this moment, the entire execution ground was already filled with people. After all, today was considered a large-scale execution. A punishment that only existed in words was about to be performed on this execution ground today.
At noon, the square was already filled with people, but these people were blocked outside the square. The Jinyiwei guarded the central square, and every one of them was a skilled master.
There were a few people standing on a platform in the center of the square. They were wearing prison uniforms and had thick iron chains wrapped around their feet and hands. Their faces were covered in mud and their hair was unkempt, but their eyes were very spirited.
The people outside the square were all discussing." Is this the Yuan Meng spy who trespassed into the palace?”
"Yuan Meng's spy is so impudent. He actually dared to sneak into the Imperial Palace.”
"That's right. It's said that these few people were taken care of by the son of King Wu alone!”
The people outside the square were all talking, but the square was very quiet.
Zhu Houcan was currently sitting on the execution platform, quietly looking down.
There were thirty-six martial artists on the execution platform. They were all wearing armor and had terrifying auras. Their cultivation was profound.
Zhu Houcan looked at the sun and asked,""When is it?"
A golden-armored general said,""It's already a quarter to nine!"
"Then it's about to start!" Zhu Houcan said with a smile.
"Prince, I heard that their people have already ambushed us. Do you need us to…"
"No need. This time, there will be a surprise!”
As he spoke, Zhu Houcan looked up at the time.
Zhu Houcan waved his hand, and the golden-armored general shouted,""The auspicious time has arrived! Execution!"
Just as the executioner was about to start setting the net.
Suddenly, a powerful finger force appeared, and at the same time, a loud roar sounded," Stop!”
Three men in black appeared in the air. The leader waved his hand and pointed at the executioner.
At this moment, the crowd outside the square was in an uproar. Someone actually dared to rob the execution ground! The Embroidered Uniform Guards on the square were all ready with their swords drawn and bows nocked.
The chaos in the square was also revealed. Murong Fu's four guards rushed in with a group of people. He headed straight for Murong Fu.
"Stop them!" The Brocade Guard naturally wouldn't let them pass, and they immediately started fighting.
At this moment, the masked man in black charged towards Zhu Houcan.
The other two charged towards Murong Fu.
"Prince, those two martial grandmasters went to save Murong Fu!”
"The remaining few are in the crowd!"
the golden-armored general said.
"It's fine. They won't be disappointed!”
Zhu Houcan said with a smile.
