In front of the inn where they decided to stay, even Rudvi, the place was guarded flawlessly by the escort knights.
Although it was an inn catering to nobles, the thought that a member of the imperial family, even the innkeeper, was staying made them anxious about the possibility of something happening.
They hoped for no intruders…
Meanwhile, Leharht, who had decided to stay overnight in the inn’s most luxurious room, was sprawled over the table. In front of him, the flower tea he had been drinking spilled, and tea water dripped under the table.
The room where Leharht lost consciousness was silent.
Someone’s footsteps shattered that silence. It was Rudvi, who leisurely walked as if he were the owner of the room.
Approaching the table, he looked at his fallen brother.
“You have a very refined taste. You don’t even know that it’s a poison that could take my li
So, Leharht, and even Rudvi, little by little, had been consuming poison. The reason Rudvi had planned to kill Leharht not with poison but by causing him to fall from a horse was also because of this.
Today, the purpose of making Leharht lose consciousness was not to kill him but to buy some time.
Rudvi glanced around
“I don’t really know either. I just conveyed what I heard….”
Heishi emphasized that he was not at fault, trembling all over. He had simply conveyed what he had heard.
“Useless….”
Rudvi, looking at Heishi with a disdainful gaze, turned his head as if he didn’t want to see him.
“Get out.”
“Yes.”
Heishi quickly withdrew, and Rudvi took a seat on the opposite side of Leharht.
“Do you happen to know Heishi’s identity?”
Doubts arose about whether information had been leaked in reverse, but there was no certainty. If that were the case, everything had to be doubted.
Starting with Leharht’s favorable feelings towards Etiën. If that were the case, giving Etiën a necklace to provoke his jealousy would have been a useless act.
“Where on earth did he put it?”
Rudvi stared intently at Leharht’s face, who had his eyes closed. Come to think of it, there was one place that hadn’t been searched. It was Leharht’s body.
Rudvi abruptly stood up and began checking Leharht’s clothe
“Stupid. You should consider changing your taste from now on. That flower tea has such a strong fragrance that it could even mask poison.”
Rudvi, offering advice that Leharht couldn’t hear, opened the pocket. At the same time, momentarily surprised by the golden light emanating from it and bewildered by the feeling of something being forcefully bounced off, he accidentally let go of the pocket.
“Ugh.”
Rudvi, trying to figure out what had happened, quickly stepped back in surprise.
“What the!”
It was because Leharht slowly got up. He picked up the pocket that had fa
Leharht, as if asking when Rudvi had laughed, stiffened his expression and spoke. In response, Rudvi furrowed his brow as if the request was absurd.
“Kneel? Why should I?”
“As the Crown Prince, I command it. Kneel… kneel down.”
Rudvi, sensing that what was being said was the final courtesy, glared at Leharht. However, the current Leharht was not the one who used to smile and pass it off as okay because they were siblings.
Rudvi reluctantly knelt on one knee, and just as he knelt on the other, the door opened, and palace knights stormed in.
In an instant, the room was occupied, and Rudvi’s eyes, surrounded by the knights, turned towards the two men at the door. Looking at them, Rudvi gritted his teeth.
One was Heishi, who had been feeding me informat
Rudvi shouted loudly. However, as if no subsequent words came to mind, he only bit his lips in silence.
“I’ve watched you rummaging through my belongings, taking this, and even seen your hands being forcefully pushed away. So, any excuse won’t be valid.”
Leharht commanded the palace knights.
“Take Prince Rudvi away.”
“Yes!”
As the knight grabbed Rudvi’s arms and tried to pull him out, Rudvi resisted, struggling.
“This is all a conspiracy! It’s a conspiracy!”
He shouted as if feeling unjust, but Leharht didn’t listen.
“What should we do?”
“For now, confine him in the palace.”
While Leharht pondered how to dispose of Rudvi, a palace knight who was in the room rushed out like a flash.
Although it was a brief storm that occurred in a very short time, the room was left in an uneasy silence.
“Is this the end?”
“No, it’s just the beginning, right? Maybe I just wanted to attack first and feel refreshing for a change?”
Leharht flashed a bright smile, unlike any he had shown before.
Seeing that, Alex had a lot to say, but he decided to hold back for today. Having taken a big hit after enduring for so long, Alex also felt a bit relieved.
“So, Alex, Assistant, was the separate meeting with you and Leharht’s knights intended to call t
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
