Chapter 51: A Dejected Prince with a Cold Outside and Tender Inside (7)
Translator: Iris
It must have been very difficult to beat someone like Zhao Yin .
But that excites Zhao Yi .
The stronger the opponent, the more interesting the success .
Besides, seeing his opponent falling into his schemes and stamped under his feet, while knowing nothing about who it was that was plotting against him until his death fascinates Zhao Yi .
For all these years, there have been many who plotted against Prince Yan but only he succeeded .
The reason is that he bears patiently and knows how to hit the target by one shot .
The most enraging and disheartening thing for a father is not that his sons are ambitious but that they are heartless, what’s worse is that they look forwards to his death .
That explained Emperor Huizong’s rage when he found out it was Prince Yan who cursed him .
Zhao Yi knows that at the moment, the Emperor is just carried away by rage . When he calms down, he certainly will become aware that something is wrong and start to investigate the whole thing .
But that will take some time .
He needs to make sure that Prince Yan wouldn’t return to power in this period .
So he made Princess Yan his second target .
When he decided to poison Princess Yan, he actually had some pity for her .
Men, especially extremely ambitious men usually indulge beauties .
Extreme beauty in particular .
Since they consider having a woman with devastating beauty a symbol of high status .
Princess Yan is one of those beauties .
If he had a better choice, he wouldn’t sacrifice her .
But there wasn’t a better choice .

Only if Qin died, that would enrage Prince Ding who considered his daughter as important as his life .
Prince Ding’s anger would certainly spread to Prince Yan .
Everything’s perfect .
But who told him that Qin was safe and sound?
When he heard that news from his subordinate, he was painting with a great mood in his study .
A drop of ink spots the blank space on the drawing, a painting of landscape which will be finished in any time soon is completely destroyed .
Zhao Yi still has a smile on his face and looks so gentle . But cold sweat has already appeared on the forehead of the man in black who’s on his knees . He knows clearly what craziness hides behind the gentle looks of his master .
“Yesterday you vowed solemnly to me that everything would go perfectly well, didn’t you?” Zhao Yi stops what he’s doing and asks coolly .
The man in black feels his throat tightens and says: “I, I am sure that Princess Yan has had that cup of poisonous honey water . ”

“But right now she’s in the Palace of Happies with Prince Yan, safe and sound!” Zhao Yi’s voice becomes cold .
“You are good for nothing! Get out and get your punishment!”
The man in black leaves and looks ashen and defeated .
Zhao Yi looks at the flawed painting of landscape in front of him, reaches out his hand and slowly takes the drawing in his hand with a firm grip .
“Huh, Princess Yan . What a surprise . ”
Ah Zhao is scared awake by a bad dream .
She dreamed that she walked alone in a dark place, with nobody nearby . Walking and walking, she grew more and more terrified . Then she missed a step and the sensation of weightlessness overwhelmed her .
“Ah!” A shake goes all over her body, and Ah Zhao wakes up with a start, her face streaming with sweat .
Zhao Yin, who has already walked around outside and just got into the chamber is startled by her .

“Are you training your voice in such an early time already, my Princess?” He’s first reaction is to scorn her .
Ah Zhao hasn’t sobered up yet . Seeing him all of a sudden, she feels that she meets her savior . Though her legs are still numb, she climbs up and throw herself right into him without any other words .
Zhao Yin: “…”
He is stunned by her throwing her soft and sweet body at him .
He is completely numb and says coldly: “It’s still early and you are throwing yourself at me, my Princess . ”
Listen carefully, besides coldness, he also sounds nervous and uneasy .
Zhao Yin stops before he finishes his sentence .
Because he sees her ghastly pale face .
The body he’s holding is still shaking slightly .
She seems like she’s overcome with fear . Zhao Yin finally realizes that .
