Chapter 922: 422 Discovering the Truth (Two Updates)_3 Chapter 922: 422 Discovering the Truth (Two Updates)_3 “Someone is coming!” Gu Jiao suddenly said, alert.

Yuan Tang carefully sensed his surroundings, and indeed, he heard a very faint noise above his head.

He had initially thought that the girl’s martial arts skills were inferior to his, but after witnessing her lose control and kill so many assassins, he dared not underestimate her anymore.

But he was still surprised.

The girl’s perception was overly sharp.

The two of them exerted themselves to hold their breath, minimizing their presence as much as possible.

Both wanted to see what was happening in the Crown Princess’s room, but alas, there was only a sliver of a gap in the door.

Yuan Tang squinted his eyes and crouched down.

Gu Jiao pressed down on his neck and forced him into a crouch.

Yuan Tang was dumbfounded; I meant for you to crouch!

Gu Jiao mouthed the words: “No need to thank me.”

Yuan Tang: “…”

Forget it, a good man doesn’t fight with a woman.

Yuan Tang stooped down, giving Gu Jiao the better view.

The two of them stared intently at the movement across, the person having sneaked in using lightness skill, presumably someone whose whereabouts couldn’t risk being exposed. They both looked toward the window, somewhat worried the other party might close it.

Fortunately, it seemed that the person had not paid attention to it.

After all, the small window faced not a courtyard, but a cold, impersonal warehouse.

The individual was a tall and well-built man, exuding an aura of nobility, yet at first sight, he suddenly projected a suffocating and terrifying presence.

Unlike the terror exuded by Gu Jiao when she had lost control, Yuan Tang thought, this man’s seemed laced with an evil dominance and possessiveness.

Yuan Tang could only see his back and couldn’t guess the man’s identity or intentions.

He tried to discern something from Gu Jiao’s expression, but upon looking up, all he saw was her small chin, seemingly mocking him…

The man approached the bedside.

The Crown Princess had already gone to bed, lying on her side on the soft bedchamber, her hair shiny and smooth like satin.

Without makeup, her eyes closed lightly, she still couldn’t hide her stunning beauty, which was enchanting and elegant.

Suddenly, the man sat down by the bed.

Yuan Tang was startled.

The Crown Princess was asleep and hadn’t noticed someone had entered the room for a while.

But soon, she felt a cool hand traveling over her cheek and hair.

Thinking it was the Crown Prince, she murmured in a daze, “Your Highness…”

Stop it, I want to rest, she thought she said, but it turned out she had only said it in her dream.

The man who had been gently touching her hair and cheek suddenly grasped her throat!

Yuan Tang, as a hostage from the Chen Kingdom, had faced many dangerous situations, but even he almost couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

What in the world was happening?

Thinking it was one of the Crown Princess’s trusted experts, he ended up assaulting her in contempt of his superiors.

Thinking it was the Crown Princess’s lover, yet he seemed intent on killing her!

What deep hatred and resentment!

Gu Jiao’s expression was very calm, her breath relaxed.

Yuan Tang’s mouth twitched, admitting that his own composure couldn’t compare to that of a teenage girl.

Inside the room, the Crown Princess finally woke up from being choked and saw a familiar face, giving her an almost inexplicable shudder!

“What, scared?”

The man’s voice, half-mocking and half-smiling, echoed in the empty Sleeping Palace, carrying a trace of cruelty and taunting.

Yuan Tang felt a chill over his chest.

The voice, both familiar and unfamiliar.

It was as if he had heard that voice before, but it shouldn’t be so cruel.

Suddenly, Yuan Tang felt somewhat split!

Gu Jiao enjoyed watching the drama without concern, her eyes actually lighting up.

Yuan Tang: Uh… are you serious?

The man increased the pressure in his hand slightly, causing the Crown Princess’s complexion to turn red.

She managed to squeeze out words with great effort from her throat: “This is the East Palace! Have you lost your mind?”

The man’s tone was playful yet harsh: “It’s you who have lost your mind, Wo Linlang, it’s you.”

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about!” the Crown Princess gasped for breath.

The man showed no intention of letting up: “I’ve warned you not to get too close to other men.”

The Crown Princess looked at him coldly: “He is the Crown Prince, and I am the Crown Princess! Don’t you find your words absurd?”

The man answered coldly: “At least not in front of me!”

Having said that, a second before the Crown Princess fainted, he timely withdrew his hand and violently threw her back onto the already cold bedchamber.

The Crown Princess suddenly regained her breath, gasping for air heavily at the edge of the bed.

The man’s icy fingertips tapped her chest: “Wo Linlang, mark my words, you provoked me first. You can only belong to me here, and if you dare harbor feelings for another man, I will kill him!”

The Crown Princess scoffed mockingly: “He is the Crown Prince! If you dare, go ahead and kill!”

The man sneered: “Do you think I won’t?”

As if realizing something, the Crown Princess’s expression froze, and she turned her face away.
