The Credentials of a Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 155
“I should get ready to leave.”
“No need for preparations. Everything necessary is already ready.”
The Deposed Prince gave a light nod, and people appeared behind him. They had merely been hidden in the shade—he hadn’t come alone.
Three or four, no—perhaps even more. Instinctively, I hunched my body as I saw his guards behind the Deposed Prince. Whether from the flickering firelight or something else, his guards gave off an oddly eerie impression. And above all else….
My gaze drifted downward unintentionally, then reflexively snapped away. At first, I’d mistaken it for a pattern on their clothes—but it wasn’t. The stains on the guards’ clothing were blood.
“I had some annoying trouble on the way here.”
Noticing my stare, the Deposed Prince rose from his seat with a relaxed smile. I nodded politely in return, but my mind kept circling back to the bloodstains I’d just seen.
The blood on their clothes varied in color. Knowing that bloodstains change hue over time, these couldn’t have all been made simultaneously. Moreover, some were so fresh they hadn’t even begun to discolor—meaning similar incidents had occurred very recently.
Gulp. I swallowed involuntarily. I wanted to ask what exactly this “annoying trouble” was, yet a warning voice in my head screamed not to.
Something was off.
As the Deposed Prince approached me, I unconsciously stepped backward. He still seemed calm as usual, but he felt subtly different from how I remembered him. And that feeling grew stronger the closer he came.
The Deposed Prince’s guards weren’t just behind him. Sensing movement at my back, I bit my lip hard. Their intent in revealing themselves now—after hiding so carefully before—was obvious.
They wanted to ensure I couldn’t refuse the Deposed Prince’s offer. Or rather, that even if I refused, it wouldn’t matter.
“I’d have liked to give you more time, but we’ve been delayed too long by unnecessary matters. If you’re leaving, it must be now.”
Chiiing—the deliberate, drawn-out metallic scrape made my muscles tense reflexively. Even without turning, I could feel the blade pointed at me.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
