Chapter 1171: Cannot Hide
Dai Boheng’s expression was somewhat awkward. His gaze landed on Xie Qiao, but he had never seen her before. He only looked at her clothes and his brows furrowed.
“How can I not care about the Princess? Last time, I accidentally injured the Princess’ precious body. After returning, my heart has been tormented to this day. It’s just that previously, the Princess had sent a letter saying that the injuries were almost healed. I don’t know why, but now…”
Before he could finish his words, the first princess stood up.
“Boheng, you said that you wanted to give me a hairpin. I was pleasantly surprised, so I let you be. However, you were flustered and actually injured my face. I did not blame you, right?” The first princess asked faintly.
“Yes.” Dai Boheng’s heart grew colder and colder.
“I initially thought that you were really nervous when you saw me!” As soon as the first princess finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise as she slapped Dai Boheng.
The ornament in her hand instantly scratched Dai Boheng’s face.
Xie Qiao did not say anything as he observed Prince Consort Dai.
He was indeed not bad-looking. He had a scholarly aura about him, and he did not look like an ambitious person. He probably… was under someone’s control.
Dai Boheng immediately knelt down. “Princess… Why?”
“Why? You pricked my face, and I’ll return this injury to you. What’s wrong with that?!” The first princess felt both angry and cold.
Sad? Yes.
When she woke up that day, she remembered that her situation was caused by her beloved. Her heart was boiling, and she was in extreme pain!
She could not figure it out, and she even wondered if she had done something wrong!
Her mother washed her face with tears. Yesterday, her brother, the Crown Prince, had asked her to go to the Eastern Palace to ask how she was doing…
After lecturing her about how ridiculous she had been these past few days, she remembered that she was the princess of a country. She had almost ruined her father’s dignity because of Dai Boheng!
“Princess… We’re getting married in two days…” Now, she had hurt his face?
“Get married? Before I came, my mother had already gone to ask the Empress to make the decision. The engagement between the two of us is off. Today, after you leave this place, outsiders will only say that you, Dai Boheng, have a mad illness and lied to the imperial family. When you were sick, you even tried to kill me! The Dai family hid the fact that you were sick, and the entire family is guilty. Don’t even think about running away!” The first princess said everything clearly.
When Dai Boheng heard that, he raised his head in shock.
“Why is the Princess so cruel to me? My feelings for you can be seen by the sun and the moon. Even if the princess has changed her feelings, there’s no need to…”
“Huh? You still want to continue playing dumb? Did you not get the palace maid to tattoo me? The hairpin that was tainted with evil energy ruined my face and stained my blood. Was it you? You said that you were willing to marry me, so what did you send the hair for? Dai Boheng, I called you here today not to humiliate you, nor to harm your entire family. You should understand that the only one who can save your entire family is me!” The first princess said coldly.
The crime of lying to the princess would not let the Dai family lose their lives.
It was inappropriate to tell the public about witchcraft. If it were to spread, it would affect the people’s morale.
However, Prince Rong was guilty. If the Dai family was found to be involved with Prince Rong in the future, there would be no chance for them to turn their life around!
Now, they had confessed honestly. For the sake of the past, they could at least protect their innocent young son in the future!
The first princess was so angry that she wanted Dai Boheng to close his eyes and lose his life.
However, ever since the engagement, she had genuinely liked him. She also knew that Dai Boheng should not have been such a despicable person. There must be some reason behind it, so she was willing to give him a chance to explain clearly!
Since the first princess had already said so much, how could Dai Boheng not understand?
He closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh of relief. “As expected, I can’t hide it from the Princess…”
