Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Kill the Witness (1)

Zhao Shu’s words made Zhao Mingyu unable to recover for a while. It was no wonder that her Consort Mother was arrested and her loyal servants didn’t pass on news to her. It must be the result of her Emperor Father’s suppression. She was previously in power because of the Emperor’s favor, but now that she was without favor, she would naturally lose power!

She resented only one thing: although the City Boundary Map was alluring, did all those years of imperial favor not count?

Originally, she put herself in danger for the sake of Zhao Country. Even though she had her own selfish intentions, she hoped in her heart that Zhao Country was as prosperous and powerful as Mo Country. Why did Emperor Father do this to her?

For a map, could she be sacrificed so casually?

Right now, Zhao Mingyu regretted that she had copied the City Boundary Map. Not only did it benefit Zhao Shu, the beast, but it also benefited those cruel and unscrupulous people!

“What are you all still standing there for?” Zhao Shu snorted. “Kill her, and then we can get back on the road!”

At this time, all of Zhao Mingyu’s hopes were gone. If she died in the territory of Mo Country, she might even be used by Zhao Shu and others. Later, if Zhao Country wanted to go to war after receiving the City Boundary Map, they even had this prepared reason.

Thinking that her death might be used by them to create a scene, Zhao Mingyu fought desperately, but she was outnumbered. She tried her best but could not break free from the encirclement. Her body was continuously injured. She watched Zhao Shu sneer while holding a fan. Zhao Mingyu shed tears of regret, thinking of the humiliation of last night, and the feeling of relying on her homeland was completely reduced to nothingness.

Just then, one of them was about to slice off her head. Zhao Mingyu’s eyes widened, watching the blade approach quickly.

“Clang!” Hearing a crisp sound, the knife that nearly killed her was knocked away.

“Who is it?” Zhao Shu’s expression changed instantly as a dozen people in black walked out of the forest, headed by Mo Linyuan and Ye Mu.

“Where is Prince Zhao planning to take Princess Zhao? Didn’t you mean to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries? Are you trying to renege on the agreement?”

Zhao Shu was shocked. Before, he had left a woman similar to Zhao Mingyu’s appearance and figure in the palace as a fake, while sneaking the real Zhao Mingyu out. He didn’t think that the truth would be discovered so soon

The moment Zhao Mingyu saw Mo Linyuan, she seemed to have seen a savior! Fortunately, Mo Linyuan was not easy to fool, and followed the convoy over here. She must not die, she must not die! But because she was seriously injured, she was held down by Zhao Shu’s people as soon as she wanted to speak.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Shu rolled his eyes, walked out and said, “Your Majesty, apologies. Actually, I have ineffable difficulties behind my actions!”

Mo Linyuan, who was dressed in black, held onto Ye Mu, who was also dressed in black, and asked with a smile, “Then I really want to hear, what are Zhao Country’s troubles?”

Zhao Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said, “The truth is, although Zhao Mingyu is Zhao Country’s Princess, Emperor Father discovered not long ago that Zhao Mingyu’s mother, Consort Ming was practicing witchcraft in the palace. Emperor Father was furious, but because the Consort Ming is weak in nature, Emperor Father thinks that the real practitioner is Zhao Mingyu! Therefore, I was sent to take her life!

Zhao Mingyu is a princess sent for a peace marriage, but our angry Emperor Father refuses to listen to any explanations. Therefore, I thought of a compromise that involves using a woman who looks very similar to Zhao Mingyu to impersonate her, while bringing the true sinner to justice according to the law. After a while, the person who pretended to be Zhao Mingyu will “naturally die” as she was ordered to. When the time comes, it’ll be like the marriage alliance never even happened. Isn’t it perfect?”
