Chapter 361 His face was too scary

throughout the studio were her—or rather, every different expression of her. She herself couldn't remember having so many sides to her, but she never imagined that he had captured them all in his pai...After changing into their dance costumes, Xiao Yu Ge and Mu Huan, along with a group of dancers, returned to the stage. As the music began, they gracefully danced, but beneath the seemingly peaceful and beautiful movements, there was an undercurrent of turmoil.

"Whatever the Fifth Princess wants to do, just say it." Xiao Yuge asked while dancing, these dances were similar, in her past life, she had forced herself to learn many dance pieces to please Qian Si Chen and the Empress's hearts. These were effortless for her.

"Cool!" Mu Huan didn't beat around the bush: "I'm going to steal your man!" She finished, then threw a wink at Qian Tingxuan who was sitting there.

"Grab him Do you think you can" Xiao Yuge raised a delicate eyebrow, unconcerned. "But, I still have to remind you, don't regret it later." Because she believed Qian Tingxuan wouldn't be a well-behaved child.

"You're the woman my third brother likes, and I stole the man you liked, so you can only be my third brother's woman." Mu Huan is really naive and adorable.

"You're joking, aren't you You like robbing, go ahead and rob then, it doesn't matter." Xiao Yuge used to say these words countless times before, but for some reason, this time when she said them, there was a hint of bitterness. It wasn't as carefree as it used to be.

"What do you mean Aren't you fond of him" Mu Huan was a little confused now.

If I like him, what's it to you Beautiful princess, go for it, I support you.

Although the two were chatting as they danced, their skilled dancing and graceful movements drew loud applause from the crowd, of course, along with some other sounds.

"I heard that after Miss Xiao left the Xiangfu, she went to those brothels and taverns to learn such skills..."

"No wonder she dances so well, and let me tell you, that alluring little figure of hers is simply irresistible..."

"That's right, that tiny waist of hers is mouthwatering just looking at it. If only I could..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a peanut flew out of nowhere and got stuck in his throat. If it hadn't been for the people around him supporting him in time, he might have choked to death from the peanut.

As the music ended, everyone erupted in thunderous applause. Flattering and adulatory words flowed freely. Those young masters from noble families, seeing that the princess was not only beautiful but also danced so gracefully, naturally became eager to win her hand. Everyone wished to marry this princess, but they all knew she was a free spirit, loved by the Emperor. The Emperor had personally decreed that the fifth princess would marry whomever she chose, and he would never force her into an unwanted marriage.

Muren originally wanted to propose to Prince Xio Yao, taking him away from Xiao Yuge's side so her third brother would have a chance. However, what Xiao Yuge just said made her hesitate. Over the past two days, she had also learned quite a bit about Xiao Yuge. Outsiders couldn't tell which one Xiao Yuge preferred: Prince Xio Yao or the Crown Prince.

Just when she was at a loss of what to do, something unexpected happened on Qian Tingxuan's side.

A palace maid, while serving tea, accidentally tripped on the table corner. The tray in her hand flew out and went straight towards Fang Minrou. Fang Minrou was frightened and her face turned pale, she screamed!

"Be careful!" Just in time, Qian Tingxuan beside her protected her and grabbed the flying plate with one hand. It all happened too quickly. When they both came to their senses, they couldn't help but look this way.

And like Fang Minrou, who was frightened out of her wits, she actually ripped off Qian Tingxuan's mask in the midst of her panic!

Suddenly, the entire scene fell silent! That face made one involuntarily gasp in astonishment!

Although everyone knew that Prince Xian of the逍遙 Kingdom, Qian Tingxuan, had been disfigured, no one had ever seen what he looked like after. Xiao Yuge was stunned, even dropping the teacup in her hand without noticing: My god! This is too awful! Senior brother is too cruel! What if those delicate young ladies were scared to death What then

In the legal system of Lan Zhao Country, is there a law requiring compensation for causing someone to die from fear

To onlookers, her reaction would certainly be interpreted as fear. All those who had envied her before, were probably chuckling behind her back right now, or perhaps even reveling in her misfortune, thinking it was amusing that she'd ended up with such a monster.

Indeed, the face they saw now was terrifying. The half-face covered by the mask was marred with hideous black and brown scars from burns. Even after so many years, even though new skin had grown, the thin layer of newly formed skin, pulled taut over the distorted bones, made it all the more horrifying!

The hell king on the illustrations probably looks something like this.

Even Fang Minrou, standing beside her, was terrified. She had orchestrated all this to expose Qian Tingxuan's true face in public. She thought that even if she couldn't marry Brother Tingxuan, she wouldn't let Xiao Yuge, that little bitch, get away with it. But she never expected his face to be so terrifying. This was beyond her wildest imagination.

"Ah!" Those young ladies from noble families had never seen such a terrifying face. They were all terrified, screaming and instinctively covering their eyes.

"Be bold!" The emperor, coming to his senses, roared, "Guards, drag him away!"

The palace maid, already terrified by Qian Tingxuan's face, was completely paralyzed with fear. She just lay on the ground, letting herself be dragged away, forgetting even to beg for mercy.

Qianting was expressionless, his face still cold. After putting on his mask again, he pursed his lips tightly and left without saying a word. To others, it seemed like he had left in shame, so much so that no one dared to look at him a second time.

Just like that, the banquet ended on a sour note. Of course, Mu Huan didn't get chosen as Qian Tingxuan's companion either. She still hadn't recovered from the sight of his ugly face and probably would be scared awake in her dreams.

"Brother Tingxuan!" Fang Minrou, filled with guilt, chased after Qian Tingxuan to the palace gate, stopping him in front of his carriage.

"My lady, aren't you ashamed enough to have humiliated my master" Ming Yang stepped forward angrily, blocking her path.

"No! Ting Xuan gege, I didn't mean to, I really didn't know it would turn out like this..." Fang Minrou hurriedly wanted to explain. All these years, the image that couldn't be erased from her mind was still the dashing young man from before, but she never expected that his face had been burned so severely.

"Was the county princess doing that on purpose That maid would know best, wouldn't she Do you want me to bring her before you for questioning" It seemed even Ming Yang, who was usually quiet and reserved, could speak volumes when it came to protecting his master.

"I..." Fang Min was so flustered that she couldn't speak.

"My Lady, please make way!"

"Tingxuan gege, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." Fang Minrou was filled with self-blame. She hadn't expected things to turn out like this. Her once proud and arrogant Tingxuan gege had become like this. These years, he must have suffered so much.

In the carriage, Qian Tingxuan remained silent, as if hurt. This made Fang Min feel even more guilty and remorseful. Looking at the departing carriage, she wept bitterly.er parents' love Why can Xiao Yuge, with no name or status, live in the king's mansion and be ambiguous with so many men, yet in her parents' eyes, it is all understandableWhy should she be punished t...
