Chapter 345 Be My Concubine
In the dead of night, the Shenxing Division was deathly silent.
Only a few dim candlelight flickered in the wind, illuminating the mottled walls and cold iron bars.
The palace servants of the Imperial Prison did not mistreat Yu Wan; her bedding and blankets were all dry.
But it was winter, and the Shenxing Division was even colder. Even wrapped in a quilt, Yu Wan felt the cold wind seeping into her bones.
She hugged her knees, shivering slightly from the cold.
She shouldn't have been able to sleep in this cold weather, but she was so tired that Yu Wan was almost falling asleep when she suddenly heard a soft footstep coming from the end of the corridor.
Yu Wan immediately sobered up.
Judging by the time, it's probably past midnight now. Who would come at this hour?
Yu Wan cautiously looked up and saw a tall figure slowly approaching.
The man was wearing a black cloak, his face hidden in shadow, with only a section of his fair chin visible.
Yu Wan didn't recognize who this person was for a moment.
Until he spoke.
"Miss Yu, are you settling in well at the Censorate?"
Yu Wan's eyes flickered slightly.
Prince Yong!
Yu Wan cursed inwardly.
It's that bastard again.
Sure enough, the voice of that beastly dog is disgusting to the ears.
Yu Wan glanced at Prince Yong but made no move to speak.
Prince Yong waited for Yu Wan to speak.
He had assumed that if Yu Wan saw him, she would either be in a panic and beg him to let her go, or angrily question whether he had orchestrated the calamity.
But to his utter surprise, Yu Wan didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, completely ignoring his arrival.
How dare she? !
Prince Yong was instantly enraged.
He flung off his cloak, revealing a sinister-looking face.
Looking down at Yu Wan, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Miss Yu, aren't you curious about the purpose of my visit today?"
Yu Wan didn't even glance at him, grabbed the blanket and lay down on the bed, saying in an indifferent tone, "I don't want to, I'm not curious."
Prince Yong was enraged by Yu Wan's unyielding attitude.
Like a maddened beast, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the iron bars of the cell door.
The prison doors of the Shenxing Division were in disrepair for many years, and this force made a "bang" sound.
Accompanied by the angry growl of Prince Yong: "Yu Wan, don't be ungrateful!"
"Now that you're in the Censorate, do you think you can leave unscathed?"
"This is not a place where you can stay safely!"
"I have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead!"
Yu Wan didn't even lift her eyelids, but just shrank further into the blankets, muttering softly, "These villains are really something, they always manage to squeeze out a single line from a line, don't they get tired of it?"
"what are you saying?!"
Yu Wan's voice was too soft, and Prince Yong did not hear what she said.
Yu Wan glanced at the prison door and rolled her eyes. "I say, Your Highness, you get angry too easily. That's not good. You might get so angry you'll die."
"you--"
The Prince of Yong was furious.
He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, his knuckles turning white from the force, and the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly, as if he were about to rush in and beat Yu Wan up at any moment.
"Yu Wan, you've fallen to this level, yet you still dare to be so arrogant towards me!"
Yu Wan thought to herself, "It's precisely because we've completely broken off relations that she dares to be so arrogant."
Does she think that if she were more respectful to Prince Yong, he would let her off the hook?
how is this possible.
Yu Wan knew very well that backing down and showing weakness at this moment would be useless.
She wasn't 100% certain that this matter was related to Prince Yong, but she was at least 99% certain.
That so-called Taoist Master Xuanqing, the harbinger of disaster, was all the work of Prince Yong.
Previously, she had only guessed, but now that Prince Yong had come to the Censorate in the middle of the night, it directly confirmed her guess.
Seeing that Yu Wan showed no fear whatsoever, Prince Yong finally realized that Yu Wan had not taken his threat seriously at all.
His own threats just now only made him look like a clown.
Prince Yong desperately suppressed the surging anger in his chest, clenched his fists to calm himself down, stared at Yu Wan with cold and sinister eyes for a moment, and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"I really want to taste what your sharp-tongued mouth tastes like."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan felt a chill run down her spine.
A wave of nausea washed over me, and I almost threw up.
That unlucky thing still has its eye on her!
She forced herself to stay awake, poking her head out from under the covers, her eyes filled with disgust and wariness: "Your Highness, as a prince, aren't you afraid of tarnishing your status by saying such things?"
"Or do you usually enjoy using such despicable methods to threaten women?"
Prince Yong smiled slightly and licked his dry lips.
"Despicable? So what if it's despicable? As long as it works, it's a good method."
Yu Wan felt a chill run down her spine, and goosebumps practically covered her entire body.
Prince Yong tapped his fingers lightly on the iron bars, making an annoying sound.
He squinted, his gaze darting boldly over Yu Wan, as if he were appraising a piece of merchandise waiting to be sold.
"I'll give you a chance." He changed his previous agitation and said slowly, "If you agree to become my concubine, I can save your life."
"As for the talk of a jinx," he chuckled, as if bestowing a great favor upon Yu Wan, "I have my own way of settling this for you."
Yu Wan almost laughed out of anger.
She had never seen such a shameless person, who could make such a despicable suggestion sound so noble!
Return the lowly concubine.
That beast deserves to die.
Yu Wan chuckled sarcastically a few times, "Then Your Highness is truly showing me great favor. Thank you."
Prince Yong didn't quite understand what Yu Wan meant, but he sensed the sarcasm in her tone, and his face instantly darkened. "Yu Wan! Don't push your luck!"
"Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a woman whose reputation is ruined and who has been living in exile. The fact that I, the king, don't mind that you've already been married and am willing to take you as a concubine is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes!"
Yu Wan felt that if she continued talking to that idiot Prince Yong, she would really burst into tears.
Is this rotten thing even worth a finger of Yun Shang's?
She directly mocked, "It's really a pity that Your Highness remembers I'm a married woman."
"I think even a beggar in the city wouldn't want to be your concubine, Your Highness Yong."
Prince Yong's face turned from green to white, and then from white to red.
He stared intently at Yu Wan, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "You...you dare to speak to me like that!"
Yu Wan rolled her eyes. "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't this how I've always talked to you?"
"Fine, fine, fine!" Prince Yong was so angry that he lost all reason. He gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out a sentence, "Yu Wan! You're really something! I gave you a chance to live, but you didn't take it. Don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!"
"This time, you'll be going down to be buried with my mother!"
"I will make sure you die a very painful death!"
