Monster Crown Prince.

"Who are you!? Do you have a death wish?! Let go of me this instant!!". Xi Xhen yelled at the large hand that was holding her wrist.

Everyone quietly stepped back in fright, as they were scared about what would happen next.

Xi Xhen finally looked up at the person's face. Her eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing the guy's face. To be fair, he was the most attractive guy she had ever seen before!.

‘Too bad– that Monster Crown Prince isn't as attractive and handsome as this daring dude’. Xi Xhen thought, before she realised something. ‘Why was I even thinking of that monster prince? What if he is handsome? I don't care’. Xi Xhen furrowed her eyebrows as she thought once more.

Xi Xhen had enough of the person who was holding her wrist tightly.

What Xi Xhen did next to the Crown Prince, caused everyone's mouths to open wide in disbelief!. The servants didn't even dare to look at the Crown Prince’s face. They just bowed their heads and shivered.

The servants and everyone were like this because Xi Xhen kicked the Crown Prince’s leg!.

To be fair, even after Xi Xhen kicked Li Yun's leg, he didn't budge or move an inch– from where he stood.

‘What's wrong with this dude.... Is he perhaps a special forces bodyguard? Why is he so strong?! No, I can't think about this now’. Xi Xhen thought to herself before she yelled out with a grumpy face, "Hey! You imperial palace guard, I said let go of my wrist this instant!!!".

Li Yun just glared at the lady in front of him. She looked so strange and weird to him.

"Let go?". Li Yun muttered with darkened eyes.

“You heard me, so let go of me right now!”. Xi Xhen shouted and was still struggling to free her wrist.

Now, Chin Yun was convinced that Xi Xhen wasn't a ghost. She wanted to clearly hear what Li Yun and Xi Xhen were discussing, so she curiously walked closer to them– in order to hear what they were saying. “Who are you?”. Chin Yun's hands were wrapped on her chest as she questioned Xi Xhen.

"Well, in case you don't know, I am the Monster Crown Prince's new wife!.... Now that you all know, let go of me then!". Xi Xhen announced.

"Monster Crown Prince?". Li Yun repeated. In no time, he understood that the ‘Monster Crown Prince’ was him. Well, Li Yun was ruthless and brutal, so the name fitted and matched him perfectly.

‘How could she actually be the Crown Princess Consort!!? How rude she is– to our Crown Prince!…. Hmph, I didn't even lift a single finger against her, and she has already lost the Crown Prince's favour!’. Chin Yun thought and was smiling gladly.

"Yeah…. You live in this mansion. So you ought to know by now that the Crown prince is a Monster…. He kills without mercy!". Xi Xhen replied to Li Yun, by whispering in his ear.

Even though the servants were far away, they clearly heard what Xi Xhen whispered into Li Yun's ear. Additionally, what Xi Xhen whispered right now, caused everyone to gasp in disbelief.

Everybody was really scared. Except for Chin Yun, who was already busy enjoying the show. She sure couldn't wait to see how the Crown Prince would deal with Xi Xhen.

"Your majesty.... There are people rebelling outside the border". A tall good-looking guy appeared out of the blue and reported to Li Yun– while bowing his head. The guy's name was Zu wan. And he is Li Yun’s personal bodyguard.

Xi Xhen's face, including Zhen Zhen's face, both widened in shock!. “The Crown Prince!!!?”.

‘Hehehehe. I knew he was the Crown Prince all along.... I just wanted to have some fun by watching the drama’. Lilie winked an eye as she said to herself. She even mischievously showed out her tongue.

‘What the? This handsome fellow is actually the Monster Crown Prince?!!!’. Xi Xhen shouted in her mind. At some point before, she actually thought that the Crown Prince was some kind of ugly Monster!. But here he was– staring at her with irresistible red eyes.

‘Oh no…. Oh no, my young mistress is in big trouble’. Zhen Zhen said in her mind. She couldn't believe that her young mistress had offended the Monster Crown Prince.

Xi Xhen stared at Li Yun with a shocked face…. Well, she didn't care if he was very handsome anymore, because she still hated this arranged marriage to the core.

‘Tsk, she doesn't even know the face of our Crown Prince…. She's unworthy of the Crown Princess Consort’s title!’. Chin Yun thought, and later on, her hands grabbed her dress tightly. “She even dares to wear a guy's robe?. How pathetic!". Chin Yun muttered with a low voice.

"Lock her up in the storage room”. Li Yun ordered before he turned to leave.

‘Lock me in the storage room?! After giving me a haunted manor, he now wants to lock me up in the damn storage room!? In his broad daydreams!!!’. Xi Xhen thought.

Xi Xhen was still complaining in her mind when Li Yun left.

Everyone bowed their heads as the Crown Prince left. And of course, Xi Xhen didn't bother to bow…. She just stood and watched.

After seeing that the Crown Prince had left, Chin Yun decided to take charge of the situation. "Hey, guards, don't just stand there. Take the Princess Consort and lock her up in the storage room immediately!!!". Chin Yun ordered with threatening eyes.

‘Eh? Who does this lady think she is?’. Xi Xhen was glaring at Chin Yun as she thought.

"Xhen Xhen, I got this. Let me deal with them for you". Lilie announced, as she finally decided to involve herself with this drama.

“Nah…. I got this, Lilie. Just look at how I'll handle this matter”. Xi Xhen mind-linked to Lilie, before a deadly smirk appeared on her lips.

After a long, brutal hour….

“Arghh!!!”. The guards groaned out in pain. Actually, Xi Xhen had totally beaten all the bodyguards who dared to approach her. Now, all the guards were lying on the floor with bruised bodies.

“How dare they try to lock a warrior like me inside a storage room?!”. In fact, Xi Xhen was more than furious.

Zhen Zhen was scared of these fighting scenes, but Lilie was already enjoying the show.

"You witch!!! You dare to defy the orders of the Crown prince?!". Chin Yun yelled at Xi Xhen because– it was the only thing that she could do at that moment.

"Blah blah blah". Xi Xhen replied to Chin Yun in a mocking tone.

The other four concubines just stood behind Chin Yun. They took no one's side. In fact, they preferred remaining silent and watching the drama.

Chin Yun was furious because of Xi Xhen's mocking act. ‘Pathetic bodyguards!! I'll do this myself!! Maybe the Crown Prince might even reward me for what I'm about to do!’. Chin Yun thought to herself as she approached Xi Xhen. Actually, she wanted to lock Xi Xhen in the storage room by herself.

Chin Yun was about to slap Xi Xhen– but she didn't expect what was coming.

[Pak!!!] A loud sound echoed!.

Xi Xhen slapped Chin Yun's face before she could even do anything.

On the other hand, Chin Yun was sent flying in the air– until her body landed on the ground roughly.

"This will teach you all. I don't tolerate those who dare to mess with me!”. Xi Xhen announced before turning to leave. After Xi Xhen left, the remaining four concubines secretly giggled because of the state Chin Yun was in.

"Young Mistress, are you alright!?". Zaya ran and knelt down beside Chin Yun as she asked.

"Get away from me!!!". Chin Yun shoved Zaya away, causing Zaya to hit her body on the ground. "Who does she think she is? Just wait to see how I will take my own revenge!". Chin Yun's eyes darkened as she muttered to herself.

When Chin Yun stood back on her feet, she gritted her teeth in annoyance after seeing the pitiful situation the bodyguards were in. "Get away from me, all you pathetic servants!!!". Chin Yun shouted at the servants who were busy looking at her.

The servants immediately bowed their heads at Chin Yun, before they left immediately.

"Aya.... Are you sure you're alright, Chin Yun?". One of the concubines asked. Though there was a little hint of mockery in her voice.

"Just wait and see how I'll deal with anyone who stands in my way!". Chin Yun angrily said before she left the concubines.

The four concubines laughed even more after Chin Yun left them. To be honest, they really enjoyed what the Crown Princess Consort had done to Chin Yun.

"Hmph”. The four concubines scoffed before they also left the scene.

.

Xi Xhen arrived inside her manor, and immediately, she went to her bathroom and bathed. After bathing, she went ahead and laid on her bed. She frowned, as she was feeling extremely annoyed.

“Are you feeling okay, Young Mistress?”. Zhen Zhen curiously asked, as she had already sensed that Xi Xhen wasn't in a good mood.

"Mmm.... Yeah, or maybe not, Zhen Zhen. But honestly, this warm bath really cleared my mind. I am feeling much better now". Xi Xhen admitted.

"Yeah, the bath cleared your mind, Xhen Xhen”. Lilie agreed to what Xi Xhen had said, with a wide smile. ‘Thanks to Xhen Xhen, I really had fun today’. Lilie thought.
