Chapter 9
That's right!

The way to go is up to me to choose!
For the first 16 years of my life, I couldn't help myself.

But for the rest of my life, I want to live a good life.

Perhaps following Duguhan, life is still difficult.

But at least he won't take my life.

If he returns home, he will be beaten to death by his father who regards money as his life.

Money is more important to him than anyone else.

Just when I thought of this, Duguhan stretched out his big hand in front of me.

Those eyes, which seemed to be smudged with ink, reflected me trembling.

Biting my lip, I put my hand into Duguhan's palm.

Then, it was grasped tightly.

The shallow curvature of Duguhan's mouth disappeared the moment he turned around.

He dragged me into the hall, tossed his robe and sat on the middle hall.

Then, he pushed me on the chair next to me.

"Your Highness, Chitose!"

The prime minister, who had been kneeling on the ground, possessed himself again.

The other servants knelt down in unison.

"You... are you really the prince?"

Father Luo Kui, who was stunned for a long time before realizing it, spoke tremblingly.

"You don't know me, I don't blame you!" Duguhan stared at Luo Kui, "A low-level official like you is not qualified to see me!"

Speaking of this, Duguhan paused. "But the king doesn't blame you, it doesn't mean he will spare you."

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen guards rushed in from outside.

They drew out their swords directly and put them on Luo Kui's neck one after another.

This posture scared Luo Kui to his knees on the ground with a 'plop'.

Seeing this, my heart skipped a beat, and I got up and knelt down habitually.

But the next moment, he was pulled up by Duguhan.

"Kneeling for a long time, it's time to stand up!"

Duguhan's words were like a rock, quickly suppressing the wavering in my will.

So he gritted his teeth and gently sat back in his original position.

"My lord, please spare my life! Now that you have married Xing'er by accident, the next official is your father-in-law! For Xing'er's sake, please spare my life!"

Duguhan didn't make a sound, but looked at me with a smile.

Then, he waved his hand.

One of the guards raised his knife and directly removed Luo Kui's arm.

As the blood spattered, Luo Kui let out a cry of pain.

My heart tightened, and I wanted to cover my eyes with my hands, but was caught by Duguhan.

"You have to learn to get used to such scenes, because you will often see them in the future!"

Duguhan said this softly, and finally turned to Luo Kui lazily.

"If it wasn't for your daughter's sake, you would have lost more than just an arm!" Dugu's family slowed down, "So, don't kowtow to thank you!"

As soon as this remark came out, Luo Kui covered his bleeding arm and kept kowtowing to me.

And I clenched my fists secretly.

The nails are deep in the flesh, but they don't know the pain.

In my heart, there are mixed feelings.

It turns out that this is power.

It can make people bow down, and it can also control life and death.

Only those who have this right can change my destiny.

"In three days, the king will bring his wife back home to visit relatives, you should prepare well!"

"Yes! The officer obeys! The officer obeys!"

Luo Kui kowtowed non-stop, in a panic.

Duguhan turned a blind eye and pulled me past him.

"Star!"

As soon as one foot crossed the threshold, Wen Ruyu's shout came from behind.

"Xing'er, can you listen to my explanation?"

Wen Ruyu's voice was as gentle as before.

But at this moment, it was trembling.

My nose became sore in an instant.

He reflexively wanted to turn around, but Duguhan grabbed the back of his neck.

"If you dare to turn back, I will kill him!"
