Chapter 380

Xiao Yin stared at Gu Jiu Ling, the pressure all over his body suddenly dropping considerably; an ordinary person would have already been dazed by the murderous aura emanating from Xiao Yin.

Gu Jiu Ling had gotten along with him for so long, but she had actually figured out his temper, and her expression showed not a trace of timidity.

Yun Duo and Jiu Yue, who were busy serving on the side, always felt that the prince and princess consort would blow up this ship.

Only the two little ones lying in the infant bed were still playing by themselves.

Gu Yi likes to play quietly with rope, Gu Er likes to boredly blow bubbles, ah wu ah wu, not knowing who they're chatting with.

After a long while, Xiao Yin stood up, took a breath, and said: "Good! Just as you wished! Coincidentally, at the villa in the suburbs of the capital..."

"Prince, I'll find my own place to live!" Gu Jiu Ling interrupted Xiao Yin's train of thought.

Leaving the mansion but not leaving home is meaningless.

Gu Jiu Ling had already figured out earlier that she absolutely could not stake her entire life on any one person.

The last time Xiao Yin neglected her, had people watch her, didn't treat her honestly, and even somehow found a woman to disgust her.

She felt that being bound together with Xiao Yin wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Moreover, why did her maternal grandfather take the lead in the Qi Sha Gu affair back then? Was it really because he had a good relationship with the emperor, being a trusted aide of Emperor Longqing?

But later events, Emperor Longqing might not have regarded her maternal grandfather as a trusted aide.

Otherwise he wouldn't have died alone in a foreign land, and now even his remains cannot be found.

Not figuring these things out, she is unwilling to muddle through life with Xiao Yin like this.

Xiao Yin suddenly flew into a rage, got up and walked to Gu Jiu Ling's front, raised his hand and seized her delicate chin, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Gu Jiu Ling, don't force this prince!"

He spoke the harshest words, his expression making him feel like an abandoned dog; the broken emotion hidden in his peach-blossom eyes made Gu Jiu Ling unable to bear looking at him.

Gu Jiu Ling's eyes flickered as she looked at Xiao Yin: "Prince, don't forget, in the fire at Chongwen Tower, I was already burned to death."

"If I return openly like this, a crime of deceiving the sovereign would be something neither of us could bear."

Xiao Yin's fingers twitched slightly, and he seemed a bit stunned.

"Don't be afraid, just say that you initially escaped by jumping from the building, fell into the river, hit your head on a stone and fainted, lost your memory, and then this prince found you."

"Playing the amnesia trope?" Gu Jiu Ling quite admired Xiao Yin, and secretly also thought this trope not bad.

"Great idea, I've lost my memory, I don't remember being the Princess Consort of Rui, so I don't have to return to suffer discomfort; what do you say, Prince?"

Xiao Yin stared dead at her, the fingers pinching her chin tightening slightly.

Gu Jiu Ling knew this man was furious, but sometimes principled issues cannot be retreated.

She lifted her head and coldly stared at the man before her, who was almost beside himself with rage.

"You two, get out!" Xiao Yin said in a low voice.

Yun Duo and Jiu Yue stared blankly, looking at Gu Jiu Ling; Gu Jiu Ling said lightly, "Get out!"

Yun Duo and Jiu Yue hurriedly retreated from the cabin.

Just as the cabin door was gently closed from outside, Xiao Yin suddenly pinched Gu Jiu Ling's chin, leaned in, and bit hard at the corner of her mouth.

Gu Jiu Ling's eyes widened instantly; the sharp pain made her want to push away this madman and slap him to death, but he instead pressed in a deep kiss.

Until he had completely deprived Gu Jiu Ling of her last breath, seeing that she could not catch her breath, only then did he release her.

"You surnamed Xiao, you dog!" Gu Jiu Ling flew into a rage, grabbed the vase on the table and hurled it at Xiao Yin.

Southern Qi General Wang, naturally trained, sidestepped to avoid, coldly looked at her and said: "Gu Jiu Ling, it was you who first clung to this prince's leg begging to marry."

"This prince has said before, this prince is not a good person; since you've provoked me, don't even think of escaping."

"From heaven to earth, you cannot escape from this prince's palm!"

Xiao Yin turned, his face dark as iron, and strode out of the cabin.

His heart had long been enraged; this damned woman was wildly jumping beyond his bottom line, yet he somehow had no way to deal with her at all.

If she is unwilling to remain his princess consort, he basically has no means at all.

Xiao Yin arrived angrily at the adjoining cabin; Ling Feng, with a few guards, waited outside, seeing his own prince stride over, hurriedly followed him into the cabin.

Seeing that they would dock the next day, Quanzhou Port had long gotten word that Prince Rui was coming with his entourage, and the local officials would certainly have to await them at the shore to welcome.

How should they respond?

After all, they had sneaked out; should they keep a low profile, or respond openly?

All of these require Ling Feng to ask Xiao Yin for his opinion.

Xiao Yin sat angrily in the chair, his face so dark it could wring out water.

The few guards standing beside Ling Feng all stared in unison at Xiao Yin's lower body, after all, the scene they saw last night was still fresh in their minds.

I don't know what fresh torment the prince has found with the princess consort again.

Xiao Yin raised his arm and lightly rubbed his forehead, feeling waves of headache.

It seems the road to winning back his wife is long; he still needs to strive.

He lifted his gaze to meet Ling Feng and the others, noticing that the way these few people looked at him somewhat made him uncomfortable.

"What's up? What kind of looks, one by one? Have you been possessed?"

Several people hurriedly lowered their heads; Ling Feng steeled himself and said: "Prince, I dare to say this: the prince truly suffers in the princess consort's quarters; is that position of yours all right? Or should we invite a physician to have a look?"

Xiao Yin's brows furrowed tightly; this fellow's words were also correct—he had indeed been made furious by Gu Jiu Ling, but a doctor? Painful or not? Which position?

What does that mean?

His peach-blossom eyes gradually narrowed; Ling Feng suddenly felt he had been overtalking, and cautiously said: "Last night, in the princess consort's bedchamber, you… you all… saw… the window could reflect… reflect a shadow…"

Not long after, the several guards fled Xiao Yin's room in panic, each having been struck a few times; Ling Feng was beaten the worst, the last one to retreat stumbled out, almost colliding with a person walking toward him.

Ling Feng hurriedly steadied himself and looked—it was Zuo Feichen.

This time Zuo Feichen was no longer bound; Xiao Yin actually wanted to tie him up, but out of consideration for Gu Jiu Ling's face, he couldn't bind him, so he released him, provided him with good food and drink, and even returned the bones that had been dug up from his father's ancestral grave.

Just after boarding the ship, Xiao Yin previously could not have brought the bones onto Peach Blossom Island.

I didn't expect Zuo Feichen to come straight over; looking at his expression, it seemed he wanted to fight to the death with his own prince.

Zuo Feichen also didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with Ling Feng, heading toward Xiao Yin's cabin.

"Left Minister!" Ling Feng hurriedly turned to block Zuo Feichen's path, a hint of wariness rising in his eyes.

"I'm looking for Prince Rui!" Zuo Feichen gave Ling Feng a cold glance, that gaze feeling like it wanted to devour someone.

Ling Feng was about to say something when he heard Xiao Yin, seated inside, tell him to release the person.

Ling Feng stepped aside to let him pass, and Zuo Feichen strode in, holding a long, large box—the very box that held his father's remains.

That scoundrel Xiao Yin dug up the remains of both his adoptive father and his biological father.

The adoptive father's remains were left in Shang Jing, while the biological father's were brought straight here, all to coerce him into revealing Gu Jiu Ling's whereabouts and how to enter Peach Blossom Island.

He had no choice but to confess everything, but now…

Zuo Feichen stood before Xiao Yin, furious, raised his hand and slammed the box onto the ground, staring fixedly at Xiao Yin: "Where did you put my father's remains?"
