C15 The Monster of the Deer Garden(2)

Xia Ji was sitting cross-legged under the peach tree, dozing off. The morning sun was shining down from the gaps between the trees, painting a faint dark red color on her white cheeks. Hearing the sound of hooves, he opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar young man sitting on the horse. He was wielding a whip as he looked at him arrogantly.

Startled, she immediately stood up.

Zi Man had already jumped off the horse.

He didn't even know that she was his half-sister. All he knew was that in the country of Zheng, as long as he took a fancy to an unfamiliar beauty, he would have no problem with it.

It was already too late for Xia Ji to run.

In an instant, Zi Man had already held her by the waist.

Of course, she did not know that this was her own brother. He came with a ferocious, strange expression, his eyes spewing out flames, as if he was a hungry wolf pouncing on a piece of fat meat. He squeezed her wrist so hard that she screamed.

Just the smell of her hair alone was enough to make Zi Man drunk. Her entire body tensed up and she became impatient. She actually pressed her fiercely onto the stone floor and immediately started to tear her clothes.

His spring shirt was thin, how could it withstand such brute force?

Xia Ji was in a rush to resist, but he had already ripped her sleeve apart. She struggled as hard as she could to break free. After running a few steps, he caught up to her again. He grabbed her waist and pulled her belt, pulling her clothes apart.

Xia Ji fell to the ground, her eyes wide with terror.

She had never experienced such a terrible thing, nor had she ever thought that someone would actually intrude in order to assault her. In her anxiety, she shouted, "Mama … Mama... Help … "Save me …"

However, the old palace maid had just left not too long ago and wouldn't return so soon.

Zi Man's eyes had already turned red from desire. How could she possibly control her cry for help? He gasped for breath and laughed sinisterly, "Go ahead and scream … No one will save you even if you scream your throat out... Little girl, do you know who I am? "If you obey me obediently, you will definitely eat, drink, and drink to your heart's content …"

Because her old, washed, and white spring clothes were even more shabby than those of ordinary palace maids, he believed her to be the lowest level of cleaning palace maids in the Imperial Palace.

He laid on top of her and said carelessly, "I will bring you back and give you wealth and glory. "Hehe, such a pretty little girl. To think that she'd hide in a place like Deer Garden. What a waste of a heavenly resource …"

The next moment, his mouth filled with foul air, he kissed her, and she felt like vomiting from the hot, foul air. She tilted her head to the side, anger burning in her chest. However, he was like a fly. Not only did he buzz in her ears, he was also desperately tearing apart the messy clothes on her body …

Zi Man had always been invincible amongst beauties, when had he ever encountered such an intense resistance? Her angry gaze was like looking at an ugly mouse. He was suddenly enraged, and a surge of brute force firmly pressed down on her. He sneered as he flipped her over, and with a chi sound, the young girl's delicate figure that was like a flower completely appeared in front of him …

He swallowed a large gulp of saliva as his eyes emitted a fierce light of a hungry wolf. Casually throwing the fragments he had grabbed far away, he fiercely threw himself down …

Xia Ji shut her eyes miserably.

Although she didn't know what was going to happen, she still shuddered instinctively. She had already realized that the most frightening thing was about to happen …

The big, dirty hand had already touched her bare skin, and she closed her eyes in despair, awaiting the arrival of bad luck. Suddenly, the hungry wolf lying on her body cried out miserably and jumped up, as if it had been tortured to death.

He shouted, "Who is it... Who dares to hit me? "

At this moment, footsteps hurried over from outside the deer park. The person in the lead was Zheng Mu gongzi, several young men followed behind him, as well as a large group of palace maids and servants …

The wooden door opened.

Everyone opened their eyes widely as they stared at the undressed Zi Man and an unfamiliar young girl under the peach tree. Even an idiot would know what had happened.

Xia Ji had never seen so many people in her life before. She hurriedly pulled at her tattered clothes to cover herself as she stared in terror at these strange people.

At this time, the old palace maid had already rushed back upon hearing the noise. She was stunned by this scene as well, and only after a long while did she come to her senses, pulling Xia Ji along as she knelt down. "This is your father …"

She knelt down, but she could not call out "Father". She could only lower her head in worry.

Hearing the old palace maid's words, Zi Man became even more anxious. She ignored the outsiders and shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could she be the little princess? I have never seen her … "You damned dog slave …"

The old palace maid trembled. "Young master, she really is the little princess. She's your blood sister …"

Zheng Mu was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His face turned red and then red.

Today, the ones following him were the envoys from Chen. They came to the royal family to propose marriage for the crown prince of Chen.

Zheng Mu was interested in marrying Chen, but all the women of suitable age had already been married off. He thought about it and suddenly remembered that there was also his daughter who was hidden in the deer park.

However, the envoys of Chen were the famous third son of Chen Guo: Kong Ning, Chen Ling and Yi Xing Yu. The three of them didn't wait for him to summon Xia Ji to the palace. They insisted on following him, saying that they wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the deer park.

Unexpectedly, he saw such an exciting scene the moment he arrived.

As guests, the three young masters turned their heads, hoping to avoid this awkward scene. Not only that, Xia Ji was wearing a tattered robe as she lowered her head, so they couldn't clearly see her appearance, and it was unknown whether she was beautiful or not.

The three young masters mocked Zi Man's shamelessness and shamelessness in their hearts. At the same time, they shook their heads, all of them thinking, how could such a dishonest and dishonest woman be worthy of the Crown Prince of Chen?

Didn't Zheng Mu know what the three of them were thinking? But seeing the looks of contempt on their faces, they were both angry and anxious. This demon-level character not only made Zheng Chen's marriage impossible, he had even made himself known to the royal family of the Zheng Kingdom. If word of this got out, what would the people of the world think of him?

He kicked Xia Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, and walked towards Zi Man. Suddenly, he saw the horsewhip that fell on the ground, so he grabbed it and whipped it towards Zi Man. He shouted, "Animal, you beast, you're so shameless to your own little sister …"

Zi Man had never been beaten since he was young, and he had long suppressed the desire in his heart. However, his hands were still burning with pain because of some unknown reason, and his father's whip had come down again. He rolled on the ground, screaming as he rolled, "She's not my sister …" She seduced me... Father, what right do you have to hit me? She was the one who seduced me... It's this monster … She was a monster … She has a sorcery on her... "If you don't believe me, you can go take a look. She has some kind of Demonic magic on her. Whoever encounters her will be unlucky …."

— —

Upon hearing his nonsense, Zheng Mu was even more infuriated. He raised his whip again and lashed out at him. Zheng Ze, who was standing beside him, held him back. "My lord, your words are not unreasonable. Look at your hand …"

But when he saw that his hands were black, as if they had been burned, yet did not have any wounds, he looked at Xia Ji in shock, and shouted sternly, "Lock this demon up, you are not allowed to let out of Deer Garden ever again. Send the order that no one is allowed to step even half a step into the deer park from now on. "

The old palace maid knelt on the ground and just kowtowed.

Just as Zheng Mu was about to speak, a gust of wind blew over, bringing with it a sinister air. He suddenly thought of a python he had seen many years ago. His vision blurred, but he could not see anything. However, it was cold to the point of being unsightly.

Other people also felt that the deer park had suddenly become eerily eerie. They felt that it was very awkward, so Zheng Mu turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, the three young masters of Chen Nation also left.

When they parted ways, they would glance maliciously at the displeased Zi Man, then at Xia Ji. At that time, she had been lying prostrate on the ground, and had never raised her head.

Zi Man was helped up by two servants, and glared fiercely at Xia Ji, who was lying on the ground. He was about to say something when he heard Master Zheng Mu's loud roar, and was so frightened that he immediately ran away.

Not too long after, Xia Ji's name had spread far and wide.

This was all thanks to the three young masters of Chen Country. The three of them were young and had come to ask for a marriage. Having watched such a good show, they immediately treated it as gossip and spread it among the upper class.

Initially, for the sake of the crown prince, Kong Ning and his father would not dare to announce this to the public, but Chen Ling disapproved. He and the crown prince were brothers, but because he was a bastard and had lost the chance to be the next heir, he was actually jealous of the crown prince's older brother on the surface.

This time, the proposal for marriage was sent out by the crown prince's brother. He had always been confused by the crown prince's intentions. Why did he leave so many fine ladies unmarried to marry the lord of the Zheng?

Now, when he found out about Xia Ji's scandal, it was as if he was injected with chicken blood, as if the crown prince had been unknowingly humiliated.

Soon after, Chen Guo found out that Xia Ji and Zi Man were brothers and sisters, having failed in their ways.

The crown prince of Chen was the last to learn of this.

At that time, Zi Ling was under orders to lead the army and fight against the Chu Country.

Chen and Chu had a feud. Over the past twenty years, the two countries had fought for no less than ten battles, yet they had a mutual victory. Neither of them had an overwhelming advantage over the other. In the spring of this year, the two armies once again held a war. Zi Ling became the commander, annihilating all one hundred thousand of the Chu army at the border. At this time, the entire country was shaken, delighted, and the people of the capital were dancing and singing as they prepared to welcome the crown prince's triumphant return.

No one knew that the crown prince had left the army on a cloud and was rushing towards Zheng at night.
