Chapter 218 The Royal Hell

As night fell, the bustling streets of the imperial city faded from the hustle and bustle of the day.

Candles were lit in every household, like little stars in the night.

On the quiet and desolate street, the royal guard escorted a carriage and headed out of the city.

The boy in the carriage was dressed in black, with his black hair tied up high.

Even though he closed his eyes tightly, he still had a sinister air all over his body.

On one side of the carriage, sat a well-dressed woman with delicate makeup.

She huddled in a corner, her lowered eyes filled with fear.

The two are the former sixth prince Xia Ze and his side concubine Ye Yuwei.

Under the moonlight, in the quiet night, the sound of horseshoes and the "squeak" of the carriage is particularly obvious.

Xia Ze, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at the woman on the side with cold eyes.

He suddenly said: "Come here."

Hearing this voice, Ye Yuwei was startled for a moment, then turned her head stiffly to look over, suppressing the fear in her eyes, not daring to show it.

She knew that Xia Ze didn't like it.

In order to save herself from suffering, she had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened, with a calm look.

Xia Ze likes this.

Every time she pretended to be like this on purpose, he would keep his eyes on her two more times.

It will also make me a little softer on that matter.

This person is emotionally unstable and very difficult to serve.

Sometimes, he would make her wear a red dress.

Whenever this time, he would let her wear a veil to cover her face.

His eyes will always stay on her body, very gentle.

She knew that it was not looking at her, but looking at someone through her.

A woman who always likes to wear a bright red dress.

But sometimes, he is very irritable.

Especially when seeing that red dress, it will get worse.

It's been a while since she entered the Sixth Prince's Mansion, but she has never really understood this man.

She didn't dare to stay longer, got up and walked to his side, and called out calmly: "Your Highness."

As soon as the words fell, the jaw was pinched by a pair of strong hands, and she was forced to look at him, trying not to panic in her eyes.

The strength in Xia Ze's hand gradually increased, his eyes were undisguisedly sinister, and he asked in a calm tone: "Do you know why this prince wants to take you?"

"Your Highness, the decision you made is natural and reasonable."

Ye Yuwei's jaw was clamped, and it was a little difficult to speak such a sentence with a lisp.

"Presumably in a short time, your prince brother's foot restraint should be released." Xia Ze said quietly, "I'm afraid you are secretly having fun in your heart at this moment?"

"Your Highness—" Ye Yuwei's eyes flustered for a moment, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Why did the sixth prince say that?
Did he find out what he did before?
That thing was done so secretly, it shouldn't be discovered by him.

If she can't mess up, she must not mess up by herself first!

"I don't know?" Xia Ze sneered on his sinister face, "Then do you know why this prince was sent to Xingtai Temple?"

Ye Yuwei: "You were tricked by Princess Xiangrui."

"Do you really think—" Xia Ze's other hand stroked the woman's innocent face, and he spoke slowly, "Just a person who beat the minister's son in the minister's house will be punished like this?"

Ye Yuwei didn't dare to say anything.

Xia Ze: "Do you know what kind of place that Xingtai Temple is?"

His voice was soft and slow, and his grip on her eased a little.

Ye Yuwei lowered her eyes: "I don't know."

"My prince will tell you what I'm talking about." Xia Ze said quietly with a half-smile on his face, "Xingtai Temple has existed since the founding of our dynasty.

"It is a place that has witnessed the history of Tianqi. When the dynasty changes, everything changes, but Xingtai Temple remains the same."

His eyes suddenly became gentle, never before: "There is another name for that place, and it's called——Royal Hell."

Ye Yuwei stared at him with wide eyes.

Regarding the legend of Xingtai Temple, she only heard her father mention it occasionally.

The origin and function of this place are not clear, but it is said that this temple is connected to a mysterious place, and no one knows what is inside.

Her reaction pleased Xia Ze.

He laughed.

After a while, he suppressed his smile and continued: "Since ancient times, all members of the royal family who have been to Xingtai Temple have never come out alive.

"And their descendants will also be deprived of the right to inherit the throne forever."

Xia Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, his movements were still so gentle:

"My dear concubine, do you think that such a place like purgatory will be sent away just for beating a minister's son?
"Even if he is favored by a thousand prime ministers, he will still be a minister after all. Will father give up his own flesh and blood for a courtier?"

"Haha——" Xia Ze laughed, "You don't think so, do you? Then tell me, my concubine, why did my disaster come about?"

He kept laughing, but the fear in Ye Yuwei's heart became more and more serious, and she always felt that there was an evil claw behind this smile.

One unhappiness will swallow her up.

Even though my heart was already flustered like numbness, I still didn't dare to show it. I restrained my mind, tried to make myself look normal, and said with difficulty: "I don't know."

"Really?" Xia Ze touched her neck, feeling the Yiyi's normal beating, and the smile on his face widened, "Aifei, you really don't know?"

Ye Yuwei looked firm: "I don't know."

Xia Ze: "My prince would like to know, what did my concubine say when she met your second sister recently?"

Hearing this, Ye Yuwei's body trembled, and she tried her best to stabilize her mind: "That's right. It's been a long time since I saw my family members, so I just met them and talked about the past for a while."

He already knew that he had met Ye Yingying, if he forcibly denied it, he might be directly angered.

All I can do now is to pray that what they talked about that day is not listened to.

"That's it." Xia Ze's expression remained unchanged, "You two sisters have always been at odds, and your second sister is the chief culprit who caused you to marry into my sixth prince's residence.

"It stands to reason that there is an enmity between you. I haven't seen you for a while, so is the enmity gone?"

"Sisters in a family, there is no overnight feud." Ye Yuwei said, "We all made mistakes in the past, and we all realized our mistakes, and we all have a heart of repentance.

"In the days to come, I still need everyone's help. Only if I bow my head first, will I have the opportunity to persuade my father and sister to help His Highness."

"My concubine's words are for the sake of my concubine, and I am very grateful." Xia Ze gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It seems that the prince misunderstood my concubine in the past."

Ye Yuwei remained silent.

Xia Ze looked at her, his smile gradually subsided, his eyes were full of sternness, and the hand touching her face suddenly moved to her neck.
