The Cruel Tyrant

64

Su Mu gritted his teeth, the muscles in his entire body tightening. He remained sitting on the chair, controlling his body with all his strength. But still he couldn't suppress the emotions and memories that had always been buried in this body.

Under the sun, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was hiding in the shadow of a corner alone, covered with wounds and injuries. A young girl hurriedly came to him where she then applied medicine on his wounds while shedding tears.

On a rainy night, he knelt on the outdoor floor, entire body cold and drenched. The girl knelt beside him holding an umbrella over him while wiping his cheeks with a sweet-scented handkerchief.

In the snow, he lay on the icy ground covered with blood all over. The girl hurriedly arrived with a quilt and hugged him with her body to warm him.

......

Numerous images rushed into Su Mu's mind, finally ending with the young girl dying from taking a blow in order to save him. At the image of the young girl falling to the ground like a butterfly, Su Mu could no longer control himself, the desire to destroy the whole world overwhelming his senses. His eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his forehead popped violently.

As soon as this familiar scene appeared, Yun Feiyu, Liu Xi, and Huang Xuan immediately stood up from their chairs, their hearts beating wildly. The other officials also immediately hid themselves when they saw that the situation was not good.

Lin Siyuan glanced at the Crown Prince who was on the verge of losing control and hurried to Yun Feiyu's side. He asked anxiously, "What is going on, why is the Crown Prince like this?"

Yun Feiyu glanced at the Crown Prince who was trying his best to control himself, and quickly said to Lin Siyuan: "We'll talk about this later, have everyone leave first."

"What about you?" Lin Siyuan asked uneasily.

Yun Feiyu glanced at Princess Qingshuang, who was the culprit, and said, "Someone has to look after the Crown Prince. You quickly lead them away."

Lin Siyuan had no other choice but to call over the officials and quickly withdraw from Chaoyun Pavilion.

Princess Qingshuang didn't seem to have expected this either. She looked at Su Mu, whose face was twisted in pain and covered in tears, her eyes deep with unfathomable thoughts.

Yun Feiyu glanced at Princess Qingshuang, who was still standing still, and said in a harsh tone: "Please go back to the embassy first, we won't be entertaining the Princess today."

Seeing that the situation was a serious one, Princess Qingshuang, said "goodbye" and led Hong Tao away, who appeared both scared and gloating.

After a while, only Yun Feiyu, Liu Xi, Huang Xuan and a delirious Su Mu were left in Chaoyun Pavilion. Liu Xi and Huang Xuan suppressed the fear in their hearts and slowly approached Su Mu with a look of worry.

"Your Highness....."

Liu Xi walked up to Su Mu and called tentatively. Su Mu suddenly raised his head, hand snapping out to clasp around Liu Xi's neck like lightning. The killing intent and insanity in his eyes caused Liu Xi to tremble involuntarily.

"Your.....Your Highness....."

Liu Xi's face was flushed, squeezing out a few words with difficulty. However, his voice did cause some hint of clarity to return to Su Mu's eyes.

"Qingxue.....Liu.....Xi....."

Qingxue's face kept overlapping with Liu Xi's face, causing Su Mu's head to feel a splitting pain. He knew that this was just another person's memory and another person's feelings, but he still couldn't control himself.
