The swiping of the broom on the rocky floor and the foliage produced a strangely soothing sound. Of course, this only applies to those who listen, not to those who produce sound.

A servant girl looks busy sweeping through the Crown Princess' courtyard along with one other servant. Sweats darted their foreheads from the sun that was shining so brightly that day.

As he stopped his activity to wipe the sweat off his forehead, one of the servants raised his gaze. Incidentally, he saw the figure of the butler of the courtyard coming out of the master's room. The expression painted on the face of the Chief Servant looked calm, but the radiance of her eyes looked gripping and terrifying.

When Yuanli's figure had disappeared from view—entah headed to where—the servant elbowed his friend's arm. “Tangtang, is this my feeling or is the Chief Maid looking terrible since the previous day?”

Hearing the words of her best friend, the servant girl named Tangtang immediately froze. “Yun’er, take care of your words.” His eyes glanced left and right. “If anyone hears what you say and tells the Chief Servant, then not only is your life gone, but mine too!” he whispered half a whisper.

Kening Yun’er wrinkled. “You're overreacting. The Chief Servant is a good person as long as you do your job properly.”

Tangtang shook his head loudly, he confirmed, “Head Maid is a good person as long as you don't do things she doesn't want.” The girl immediately resumed her duties. “You don't want to end up like Xiaoxue, do you? Quickly continue your work!”

“Xiaoxue?” Yun’er looked wondering. “Ah, what happened to him? I haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon.”

Tangtang's eyes grew bigger, not believing that his friend did not know about the situation on the page. He glanced right to left again before saying in a low tone, “He disappeared.”

“Hah?”

Tangtang clicked his tongue. “Do you still not understand what I mean?!” ask him in frustration. “If a waiter disappears, then there are only two possibilities that occur.” Darkening view. “Between she's run away or someone has gotten rid of her.”

Yun’er's expression looked mocking, as if Tangtang had just said a very unreasonable thing. “However, this is the royal palace! Who can kab ...?!” The girl's words came to a halt as she understood her friend's intentions.

Seeing that his best friend had understood, Tangtang immediately continued his work. Yun’er who was still shocked could only be dumbfounded with a stupid face.

Slowly, the expression on Yun’er's face looked full of horror. ‘What is Xiaoxue—?!’

From the corner of his eyes, Tangtang caught Yuanli's figure had come back closer towards the Crown Princess' room. “Yun’er! The Chief Servant has returned! Fast working!” hiss Tangtang that makes his best friend directly back to the real world.

“Between she ran ... or someone has gotten rid of her.”

Although the sentence was spoken in such a low tone, but the quiet atmosphere of the courtyard made Huang Wushuang able to hear the speech clearly. His eyes were emitting horror, his entire body wrapped in blankets trembled with fear.

The events of the past day were still repeated in Huang Wushuang's mind. Such a tight heart rate, nose-piercing fishy smell, as well as the horrifying sight that burst into his view forcibly. All these things haunt him both in the real world and in the dream world.

Initially, Huang Wushuang thought that the failure of Li Guifei's plan to trap Huang Miaoling would not end fatally. He had the belief that although Yuanli knew about his involvement, all she could do was to suppress him. After all, there was the status of a crown princess protecting her.

However, Huang Wushuang then understood how innocent his thoughts were.

The afternoon of the previous day, Huang Wushuang had mentally prepared herself to face Yuanli. However, the girl was calm and ignored him completely. Therefore, Huang Wushuang believed that the girl had still not received any news of what had happened to Huang Miaoling.

By nightfall, Huang Wushuang had fallen asleep into the dream world. However, his deep sleep was interrupted when his nose faintly smelled the smell of burning flesh mixed with a pungent fishy smell. Because he felt very uncomfortable with the scents, Huang Wushuang was forced to wake up.

Just as he opened his eyes, Huang Wushuang discovered the existence of a pair of beads that pointed upwards, revealing the white part of his eyeball. Some terrible incision wounds that bleed also become additional decoration on the face of the girl who is only a few inches from the face of the Crown Princess. If considered well, there are also traces of tears that have not completely dried on the face.

Quickly, Huang Wushuang tried to get away from that bodiless head. Just now his mouth was open to shout, but a hand quickly silenced Huang Wushuang. One other hand pecked at a single point on the Crown Princess' body, stopping her movement.

“Didn't she look beautiful?” whispered the Uninvited Guest in a horrible cheerful tone. “Maybe, I can help you to look that beautiful, Crown Princess.”

Huang Wushuang's heart was pounding fast, he was instantly awakened from his sleepiness. It didn't take long before the woman recognized who the person behind her was currently.

‘Yuanli!’ screeched Huang Wushuang inwardly, his eyes radiating a deep fear.

As Yuanli found the expression that adorned Huang Wushuang's face, he chuckled. “Oh, don't look at me like that. Don't you know that I meant well by getting her off your side?” ask her with a proud tone. “He couldn't help you with the plans this afternoon, could he? Doesn't that mean he's useless?” Yuanli's eyes exuded madness. “Instead, I completed your order to deliver the reward to Huang Shufei. Aren't I more useful?”

Besides, Yuanli had done something crazy. He had already dared to kill with his own hands in the palace!

Seeing the tears that started flowing down Huang Wushuang's face made the mocking smile on Yuanli's face disappear. “Crying? Aren't you bored?” The girl snorted, and the radiance of her eyes turned filled with fury mixed with darkness. “Huang Wushuang, do you think of all my words as wind then, huh?”

Yuanli grabbed Huang Wushuang's hair roughly back, making the woman's neckline revealed. Yuanli's free hand grabbed the dagger tucked in the belt of his black clothes, then he placed the short dagger on the Provisional Master's neck.

“You don't think I dare kill you?”

‘He doesn't dare, he can't dare!’ Huang Wushuang tried to hold on to his last common sense. ‘I am the crown princess, she will not dare!’ inner again.

Yuanli pulled the Crown Princess' hair roughly to the side, making Huang Wushuang seem to turn from her shoulders to look at her. Then, the girl gripped both sides of Huang Wushuang's face fiercely, creating pain in the woman's jaw.

“The only thing that prevents me from killing you right now .. is the fact that my employer does not allow me to do so. I don't know if the reason is because you're still in touch with the Huang family or because you're still useful. Clearly, you must realize that the Huang family is the reason you are still alive now,” Yuanli said, not explaining more deeply which employer he meant.

Huang Miaoling or Liang Fenghong?

Well, no matter which one. After all, in Yuanli's eyes, the two were an inseparable unity.

Then, Yuanli pushed Huang Wushuang's head towards Xiaoxue's head, leaving an inch-two of distance between the two. After being noticed clearly by Huang Wushuang, the butler was inside the box that the servants used to deliver snacks. No wonder when the wooden lid on the side of the box was opened, the fishy smell quickly burst into the nose of the Crown Princess.

Not only that, Huang Wushuang also realized that some side of Xiaoxue's neck looked burnt. This clearly came from Yuanli's attempt to stop the flow of blood from the lower side of the neck being violently cut.

“It takes two axe swings before his head is completely separated from his body,” Yuanli chirps made a chill seep into Huang Wushuang's body. “At first, I wanted to be kind and finish it in one swing. However, he tried to run.” The girl shook her head, as if completely concerned at Xiaoxue's choice. “Therefore, I missed and had to do a second swing before successfully finishing him.”

It is often said that the fewer swings it takes to slash a person's head, the less pain the person feels. Yuanli was clearly referring to this, but it seemed that Huang Wushuang had not caught his point. The woman knew only one, that Yuanli had separated Xiaoxue's head from her body with an axe.

‘Crazy, this girl is crazy. Yes, sky. Please save me!’

Yuanli chuckled for a moment before his expression turned cold. “Fine, you see clearly what the consequences of your actions are.” His emotions grew even more stirring when he imagined what might have happened to Yunlin at the hands of the Death Squad. “If you don't want to end up like that, you better keep your attitude.” Then, he threw Huang Wushuang to the side of the bed, leaving the woman slammed onto his bed helplessly.

Yuanli closed the box where he laid Xiaoxue's head. Then, he moved away from the Crown Princess' bed. The shock he gave Huang Wushuang received a reaction that satisfied his desire.

The next second, Yuanli realized that the bottom of Huang Wushuang's nightgown looked wet, as well as the mattress area around the woman's thigh. This made the girl put on a condescending expression.

“Because you don't like my gift, then I'll destroy it.” Yuanli stepped away and said, “Remember, Huang Wushuang. Even if it's subtle, but I have the ability to do things beyond common sense.”

Yuanli frowned as he tightened his grip on the handle of the box. His mind soared at the moment when Liang Fenghong brought back Huang Miaoling in a helpless state. Her employer's worried expression coupled with First Miss Huang's appalling condition made her chest tight.

“If you dare to touch someone you should not touch, believe it or not there will be some people who will chase you even to the afterlife.”

A/N: There's nothing to think about, at times like this, isn't Yuanli too free to suppress Huang Wushuang? After all, that woman was the crown princess, the time of being oppressed so no one knew?
