Xu Tiansheng had been tortured. Not only were his clothes torn, but his body was covered with scars and blood was constantly flowing out of the wounds.

His hair was clotted with blood. He sat against the wall of the cell. When he saw Chu Heyi coming, a smile appeared on his lips, as if to say, "I knew the Crown Princess would come."

Chu Heyi stood outside the cell and looked at him, looking him up and down, but did not speak.

After a long time, Xu Tiansheng was the first to lose patience. He said, "Since the Crown Princess is here, why are you so silent?"

Chu Heyi came here probably because she was afraid that he would tell others about what happened when she was fourteen years old in the Xu family, but why did she remain silent?

She should have spoken first.

And the person who speaks first always has the upper hand.

But Chu Heyi was so tolerant that he was the one who couldn't tolerate it and became the first to speak.

Chu Heyi said calmly: "You asked to see me, don't you have something to say to me?"

Xu Tiansheng looked behind her and around her. The jailers had all left, and there were only the two of them here.

Xu Tiansheng smiled, "The Crown Princess was obviously very afraid that what you did in my house in the past would be known by others, but you didn't take the initiative to speak up. You are really a powerful character. No wonder you were able to go from being a desperate criminal in the past to becoming the Crown Princess today."

Chu Heyi just looked at him coldly. After listening to his words, he even sneered, but did not speak.

Xu Tiansheng was annoyed. He didn't know what she meant. He was furious and almost blurted out: "Crown Princess, please let me leave this death row. This is what you owe to our Xu family!"

His eyes were bloodshot, but he was full of confidence, believing that what happened in the past could buy him a way to survive.

Chu Heyi snorted, "I came here today to tell you that I have never regretted what I did in the Xu family five years ago! Even if I were to do it again, I would still choose to do it that way! So, you don't have to threaten me with what happened five years ago. You have committed a capital crime and are doomed to die!"

Xu Tiansheng's mind went blank for a moment, and then the little color on his face instantly faded away, and the provocative smile froze on his face.

"Aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will find out what you did in the past and will be disgusted with you? Aren't you afraid that after that incident is exposed, you will never be able to sit on the throne of the Crown Princess again?"

Xu Tiansheng gritted his teeth, not believing that Chu Heyi really didn't care, didn't regret, and wasn't afraid.

Chu Heyi smiled and said, "Brother Xu, why don't you try to tell others about that?"

Xu Tiansheng: "If you are not guilty and afraid, why did you come here to see me today?"

"Let's see if you have any more powerful tricks. Unfortunately, what you said is all about the past. And those things are no longer a big deal to me."

Xu Tiansheng felt his heart instantly filled with cold air. He stared at Chu Heyi for a long time with cold eyes: "So, you really want me to die here? You really won't let me leave? As the Crown Princess, you have the ability to keep me alive!"

"I do have the ability to save your life, but you have committed a capital crime! How innocent are the two children? How innocent am I who was murdered by you? Why should I save you?"

Xu Tiansheng laughed out loud, his eyes red. "Why? You asked a good question, because you owe my sister a life! Of course, I can see that you must kill me, and I won't force you, but what are you going to use to repay my sister for what you owe her?"

Chu Heyi pursed her lips and just looked at him for a moment.

Xu Tiansheng continued, "You made her a widow right after her wedding. She was criticized by others and could hardly survive. Crown Princess, you owe her happiness!

"She did nothing wrong from the beginning to the end, and the Crown Princess should repay her. I can die, but it is unreasonable for the Crown Princess not to give the position of Crown Princess to my sister, right?"

Xu Tiansheng laughed again, full of provocation.

Chu Heyi understood instantly. Xu Tiansheng kept saying that he was willing to die, but he wanted her to repay Xu Shulan. Now his true colors were revealed, and he wanted Xu Shulan to be the prince's concubine.

Although Xu Tiansheng committed a capital crime, his execution would not be immediate. If Xu Shulan became the prince's concubine, she would definitely protect her elder brother.

When he was in Yizhou, Xu Tiansheng wanted to step on Xu Shulan to suck her blood. To this day, Xu Tiansheng still wants to step on Xu Shulan to escape death and rise to the top.

"Crown Prince's Concubine, is this what she wants?" Chu Heyi asked in a cold voice.

"This must be what Sister Hui wants. Every time she sees Young Master Liu, she can't help blushing." Chu Xin, the youngest girl in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, said.

That Young Master Liu was the husband that the Second Madam had introduced to Chu Hui. The two had met several times and were attracted to each other. The Liu family had already sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, but the Zhenbei Marquisate had not yet confirmed it completely.

Young Master Liu had a handsome appearance, was gentle and elegant, but unfortunately he was a scholar. Although he was well-mannered, he looked too thin, which Chu Zhen was very dissatisfied with.

Although the eldest daughter's husband is also weak, he is the prince and they, the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, cannot choose him.

But the second daughter chose a weak husband, and Chu Zhen was very unhappy.

"We haven't gone on the hunting trip we talked about last time. Fortunately, the weather has been good these days, and Prince Yuanqi and Young Master Wen have also returned. Why don't we go hunting tomorrow and call Young Master Liu along as well?" Chu Zhen said.

"Oh, by the way, we need to call the Crown Princess and ask her to check Hui Hui as well. If the Crown Princess thinks it's okay, then we will listen to her."

The Second Lady felt both angry and amused when she heard this. It was obvious that Chu Zhen himself did not want to choose the Young Master of the Liu Family as his son-in-law, and he deliberately asked him to go hunting. But the Young Master Liu was a well-mannered scholar, so how could he be good at hunting?

Calling Chu Heyi here would only embarrass Master Liu in front of Chu Heyi and make Chu Heyi look down on his brother-in-law, wouldn't it?

The Second Lady immediately sent someone to deliver an invitation to Young Master Liu, and also sent someone to the palace to deliver a letter to Chu Heyi, inviting the two of them to go out hunting together the next day.

Everyone in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is skilled in archery and horse riding, including the youngest Chu Xin and Chu Lu, and even Chu Lu, who doesn't like fighting and only loves books of sages.

The next morning, all the members of the Zhenbei Marquisate, young and old, gathered at the Dongshan Paddock, riding on tall horses, looking extremely dashing.

After waiting for a while, Chu Heyi came. The weather was slightly hot, and she was wearing a red riding suit, which was very eye-catching.

Now we just have to wait for Master Liu.

Chu Heyi didn't know anything about Master Liu. He only heard that he was a scholar, so he asked, "Father, Second Mother, Master Liu is good at studying and riding and shooting as well? He must be a rare talent."

The family members all looked a little strange. Chu Hui was even a little embarrassed. Chu Heyi was puzzled. After waiting for about an incense stick of time, he saw a weak scholar-like man, leading a horse, walking towards them with difficulty.

The reason why it was difficult was that the horse he was leading did not obey him at all.
