Villain Princess

Kong Yue was back on Yun Xi's bed, and the girl hadn't changed a bit. He held Yun Xi in his arms, smelling the unique fragrance of the girl's body, and feeling how real she was. However, he was sleepless.

Kong Yue had been suffering from insomnia every night recently. Maybe this was his fate. He had to act even though he had known how dangerous it was to assassinate again.

It was another sleepless night for him. There were supposed to be a lot of stars in the sky, but it was mysteriously dim these two nights.

Staring at Yun Xi who was in sound sleep, Kong Yue couldn't help touching her face. In the past two days, he had been doing everything he could to spoil her. He had cooked for her, helped her get dressed, diverted her from boredom, played with her, and appreciated the flowers and the moon with her. He felt so sweet even though he was just watching her sleeping like this. If possible, he wanted to spoil her for a lifetime. He hoped the dawn would never come.

However, dawn was coming. It was grey dawn outside the bedroom window. Kong Yue's eyes could only see Yun Xi. He kissed the girl's pink lips. His lips lingered against hers for a long time, but he had to let her go. He put on a black night suit and a black mask. Yue looked lonely, and his mature and sharp eyes were filled with deep affection and reluctance.

A ray of morning sunlight shone in. Princess Xi was lying on the bed. Her eyes were closed but she wept bitter tears. She had felt something. In the past two days, Yue had been spoiling her, but she could see the intense reluctance hidden in his eyes. He looked at her and didn't sleep last night. In fact, she was also awake. However, she didn't want to make him worried, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be sleeping. Yun Xi did not dare to open her eyes until he left, for fear that she would never see her Yue again.

Yuer knocked on the door gently, "Princess, the imperial edict has just arrived. The king ordered you to go to the hunting ground in the western suburbs. The carriage is waiting outside, and I’ll serve you to dress up."

"I don't need to dress up. I will come out after I get changed."

"Aye."

Her pure and flawless eyes opened. There were complex emotions in her eyes, most of which were anxiety and fear. However, she still had to face it.

The hunting ground in the western suburbs was extremely busy today. All girls were dressed up. They competed for the supremacy of beauty in groups with chatter and laughter. Men were all very energetic, waiting to show their strength. This place was filled with waves of laughter.

A young woman appeared, and she looked incompatible with this scene. Princess Xi was wearing a white mourning dress. There was just a simple hairpin in her long, shiny, and black hair that reached her waist. And she didn't wear any makeup. Yun Xi walked slowly towards the pavilion where King Yun was without any expression. From a distance, it seemed that she was not here to greet the king but to attend a funeral.

Princess Xi walked in the pavilion like a soulless jade doll. The princess ignored officers and princes nearby. She bowed slightly to King Yun and then walked away before King Yun spoke.

King Yun had been in a good mood. Seeing Princess Xi acting like this, he got so angry. Crown Prince Yun Su nearby came out immediately to mediate. Yun Su didn't want to come out, but this time his Sister Xi had gone too far. No king could tolerate someone wearing a mourning dress in front of him. Although King Yun could not kill her, he would not spare her easily.

"Father, you haven't been so happy as today for so long. I must hunt a big animal for you. I can’t wait for the game to start."

His son was changing the topic deliberately. King Yun frowned, but he would still respect him since there were so many people here. "Well, then today's hunting shall officially begin."

Yun Su, Yun Zhi, and some princes of the Kingdom of Yun first entered the forest to hunt. Soon young officials and the sons of some ministers also joined them. Cheering sounds kept ringing outside the forest. Many noble ladies were waving their handkerchiefs in excitement, hoping that the young men in the forest could cast a look at them.

Princess Xi hid in the corner alone away from others, as if she had no relationship with this world. She was really scared. Today, she wore this mourning dress for some reason. Kong Yue happened to leave on the imperial hunting day. The helpless girl could only pray silently to gods in her heart. But no matter how pious Yun Xi was at this moment, what she feared most still happened.

A great number of people in black suddenly appeared in the imperial hunting ground. The people in black separated slowly, leaving a path for one person to pass. A leading man with mature and sharp eyes appeared. There was an irresistibly domineering temperament on his countenance. He was holding a sharp sword in his hand and he drew a trace on the ground. The man looked directly at King Yun in the pavilion with the compelling sharpness in his eyes.

This time, soldiers rushed out and stopped them in the middle of the hunting ground. They fought with the black-clothed men far away from the pavilion. People in black rushed up desperately one by one, brandishing their swords and fighting frantically. They didn't care their bodies had been cut for so many times. Facing these desperadoes, the soldiers also braced up to attack. One fell and another one replaced his place. The scene was out of control.

Those princes, ladies, and noblemen were in a mess, especially those who had been at the prince's birthday banquet. Were they cursed? How could they always get involved in battles wherever they went! When they were back home, they would offer incense to worship Buddhas. People kept screaming, shouting, and crying. They were running for their lives desperately, especially people around the hunting ground. They wanted to escape, but they were surrounded by a large group of soldiers.

The leading man in black was a master of martial arts. He was very strong. When the men in black gradually gained the upper hand gradually, however, many hunters with bows and arrows suddenly appeared around the hunting ground. The whole hunting ground was surrounded tightly. Obviously, this was a trap.

Yun Xi had been staring at the leading man in black since he appeared. She ignored the noise and people running around her. She looked at the man in black, paying attention to everything about him. At this moment, Yun Xi only cared about him and she could only see him. She walked slowly in his direction.

The blood became to blur Yun Xi’s visual field. This was a massacre. The people in black were shot one by one, and their weapons fell to the ground. Blood was flowing everywhere. Even though they were dead, they were still protecting their leader, their master with their bodies.

Men in black had already been surrounded by corpses. The breathing of the living people gradually became faint, and there were fewer people alive. On the left hand of the leading man in black, a man in black had an arrow in his right arm. However, he was still protecting his master with a determined face and his unskilled left hand desperately was chopping the arrows shooting towards them. The man in black on his right yelled loudly with bleeding eyes and mouth.

The leading man threw away his sword. He took out an inferior forgery pearl from his arms and held it tightly in his hand. His mature and sharp eyes saw Yun Xi approaching him slowly. He stared at her and shook his head desperately. The despair in his eyes was because he cared about her so much.

The girl looked at him and smiled. She continued to walk towards him with a pure smile. An arrow shot into the ground in front of the girl. It almost killed her but still couldn't stop her.

Yun Zhi rushed back. He saw this scene and the reckless Yun Xi. He wanted to go there to stop her, but he was stopped by Li Yi desperately. Yun Zhi kept calling her "Xier" like crazy.

But the girl didn't look at him at all. Now she could only see her Yue. Ignoring the arrow rain shooting at the men in black, she continued to approach her Yue. She was getting closer and closer to him. Suddenly, the girl was held in one man's arms. It was Crown Prince Yun Su.

Yun Su had always been gentle and elegant. He would never expect that Yun Xi would be so willful at the risk of her own life. Yun Su was stimulated by the girl in front of him, and his fake elegant demeanor disappeared.

"Take a good look! That man will die today. You will never see him again."

Yun Xi didn't say anything. She tried to break free from Yun Su's arms desperately. She could only see Kong Yue who kept shaking his head. He didn't want his beloved woman to die for him. Yue only hoped that she could stay alive. The eye contact of the two people deeply hurt Crown Prince holding the girl.

"Sister Xi, your parents were killed by my father, and your country was annihilated by the Kingdom of Yun. You have been imprisoned by us for almost seven years. Now you can watch carefully. The man you love is about to be shot to death by arrows. You must know that we will still be the most honorable people on this continent and the Kingdom of Yun will still be the greatest country after your death. Do you believe in the nonsense prophecy? Can you accept the fact that your dearest and beloved people die in vain?" Yun Su said these words in Yun Xi's ear deliberately. He knew that she no longer cared about her life, so he wanted her to have a motivation to be alive, even though it was hatred.

Hearing Yun Su's words, Yun Xi's eyes got dim. The unprecedented pain irritated her heart more deeply. Tears streamed out, blurring her eyes. She tried her best to open her eyes, but she stopped struggling.

The girl watched Yue's men dying one by one around him. There were corpses everywhere when she looked around. Suddenly, everything seemed to be overly peaceful and quiet. She could only hear arrows piercing the sky and entering bodies with devastation and lifeless despair.

Those ruthless arrows finally shot into Kong Yue’s body, one after another. They seemed to shoot into her heart and the pain lingered. Her heart was not merely hurt. It was broken and could no longer be complete.

Her Yue had been staring at her, clenching his fists tightly. His mature and sharp eyes were filled with pity for the girl. His eyes were never closed until the end of his life. He fell on corpses and never got up again. Yun Xi's heart had been torn apart, and the pain was so severe that her tears were running out and she could no longer cry. However, she still forced herself to look at everything in front of her.

When Kong Yue and others could no longer breathe, arrows stopped shooting out. There were only tragic scenes left in the imperial hunting ground with corpses everywhere. The world was amazingly quiet. Sometimes people were alive, but they felt much worse than being dead. Death could also be a relief because some living people had to bear too much.

Unexpectedly, Yun Xi broke away from Yun Su and ran over to hold Kong Yue in her arms among those corpses. She pulled down the black mask on his face, revealing his exquisite and handsome face. She kissed his thin lips that were losing temperature gradually. One of her small hands opened his clenched fist at the same time in secret. He was holding the only gift she gave him. The pearl still carried the last trace of warmth of his body. She held it in her hand, and she couldn't feel any pain. She must remember everything that happened today. One day, she would make the whole Kingdom of Yun pay the price.
