Humiliating the Cold Crown Prince - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

It hit me like a bolt from the blue, blasting me crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The person Prince Ning wanted humiliated was the Crown Prince?

How dare he?

Was there something seriously wrong with his brain?

But even if he dared…

I didn’t!

I was only a concubine-born daughter from the Vice Minister’s Mansion, with neither backing nor foundation.

Sooner or later, I would be called to account for this and die without even a place to be buried!

But right now, with a blade practically at my throat, I had nowhere to retreat. All I could do was shuffle forward.

In an instant, sweat poured down my forehead like rain.

And just then, lines of text suddenly appeared above my head.

[That hateful Prince Ning! How dare he treat our noble, radiant His Highness the Crown Prince like this!]

[Waiting for the Crown Prince to turn dark!]

[Female lead, hurry up and save His Highness! Otherwise the male lead is going to be defiled!]

[I’m so mad! You vicious cannon fodder, just you wait. One day His Highness will tear you to pieces!]

Wait, what…

Vicious cannon fodder?

Tear me to pieces?!

My steps halted, and cold sweat gushed even harder from my forehead.

Bang-

Prince Ning slammed the cup in his hand down onto the table.

He roared at me, “What’s the matter? Keep dawdling and see if I don’t carve you up this instant!”

I turned to look.

So he had already dragged a chair over to the side, drinking tea with one leg crossed over the other, ready to watch the show.

A thought flashed through my mind. I put on an expression of unspeakable difficulty.

“Your Highness, this humble one… this humble one… has a hidden ailment…”

Pfft-

Prince Ning sprayed out an entire mouthful of tea.

“No wonder you look like such a sissy. So you’re useless below the waist…”

I gave an awkward laugh. “Yes, Your Highness. Why don’t you choose someone strong and sturdy instead…”

Prince Ning nodded thoughtfully and looked at the burly guard beside him.

“Xiao Wu, you do it.”

Xiao Wu nearly burst into tears. “Your Highness, this humble one isn’t into that sort of thing. Please don’t make things difficult for me!”

Seeing that Xiao Wu wanted to flee at the last second, I hurriedly seized the opening.

“Xiao Wu, just make a little sacrifice. His Highness has been waiting for ages! You wouldn’t want to spoil His Highness’s fun, would you?”

After all, if he refused, I would be the one in trouble.

Sure enough, with my instigation, Prince Ning’s expression darkened slightly.

“This sissy speaks crudely, but he has a point. Xiao Wu, don’t spoil my fun.”

“Th-this… this…”

Xiao Wu was like an ant on a hot pan, spinning in frantic circles.

All of a sudden, he raised his hand and pointed at me.

“He’s lying! Your Highness, he’s lying!”

Prince Ning sat up straight, his expression turning serious.

“Xiao Wu, what do you mean by that?”

Xiao Wu cupped his fist toward Prince Ning with a crisp smack, then presented his case with perfect logic.

“If not to seek pleasure, who would come to the South Wind Pavilion?

If he truly couldn’t perform, why would he appear at the South Wind Pavilion?”

“Therefore, Your Highness, this subordinate concludes that he is deceiving you!”

At those words, Prince Ning’s face abruptly changed, and he gave a cold laugh.

“Xiao Wu, I’ve always thought you were simple-minded and all brawn, but today you are quite good at seeing the larger truth from the smallest clue!”

“You make sense. I was nearly deceived by this man!”

His murderous gaze suddenly flicked toward me, making my whole body go cold.

“If you can’t perform, then what are you doing at the South Wind Pavilion?”

“What I hate most in this life is deceit!”

“Men, kill him!”

A chill swept over the back of my neck. I dropped to my knees with a thud and shouted, “Your Highness, please allow me one word!”

Prince Ning waved a hand. “Wait. Let him speak.”

“I forgot to mention it just now. Although I can’t perform, I have this!”

Trembling, I pulled a medicine bottle from my robes and raised it high.

“This medicine is fierce. After taking it, even one with unspeakable difficulties can become as ferocious as a wolf and tiger!”

The entire room fell silent. Everyone’s jaws nearly dropped to the floor.

“Hahahahaha… Interesting!”

Prince Ning suddenly burst into a booming laugh that made my body tremble.

With a sweep of his hand, he pointed at the Crown Prince on the floor.

“Good. Very good! I want to see something fierce! Then take that medicine right now and mount him!”

I nearly fainted.

After all those twists and turns, we had still returned to the starting point.

Under Prince Ning’s fixed stare, I had no choice but to tilt my head back and shut my eyes.

Then, in one gulp, I downed the tonic I had brought with me.
