The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 345 - 255: A Very Bad Dream

The Crown Prince looked at the sword pointing at him, silent for what seemed like forever, with a melancholy that couldn’t be dispersed in his eyes. He seemed to be reminiscing about the past, seemed saddened, and seemed to be lamenting the unpredictability of life...

His expression was extremely, extremely complex.

He and the Eldest Prince had been polite and distant ever since he was crowned Crown Prince, maintaining a semblance of harmony on the surface for many years without breaking the facade.

But this time, they suddenly tore each other’s facade apart because of Jun Ning’s disappearance!

Previously, he believed they hadn’t broken things off because there was still a bit of brotherly affection left, although little, enough to ensure mutual safety without resorting to swords against each other.

Now he suddenly felt that he was mistaken.

The reason they hadn’t torn their facade for so many years was actually the lack of a catalyst, and now with a good catalyst, the Eldest Prince had completely torn things apart with him.

Or perhaps, the Eldest Prince was just looking for an opportunity to resolve things with him.

Heh heh.

The Crown Prince felt deeply distressed.

He vaguely remembered when they were very young, he and the Eldest Prince played soccer many times and their relationship was harmonious, just like ordinary brothers.

"Crown Prince, what are you looking at me like that for? Hand over the person?" The Eldest Prince didn’t want to waste more breath with the Crown Prince, let alone talk about feelings from childhood.

Estimated that he had long forgotten everything from their childhood.

The Crown Prince sighed, lifted his gaze to the sky, "Big Brother, no matter what you think, I have not hidden Yi Yi. Yi Yi hasn’t been seen for such a long time, not even a letter, and I’m also very anxious."

Extremely anxious.

He often couldn’t sleep at night, getting up to look for Jun Ning everywhere.

He thought he had searched every place in Sairu City. But still, he hadn’t found her.

"Stop deceiving me." The Eldest Prince’s sword edged closer to the Crown Prince, and when it reached his chest, he mercilessly thrust it in.

His face was icy, "Are you going to tell the truth or not? If you don’t, I will really kill you. Others may fear you as the Crown Prince, but I’m not afraid!"

The Crown Prince felt a sharp pain in his chest, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and looked desperately at the sword that pierced his chest from the Eldest Prince.

In the past, no matter what the situation, he would always give the Eldest Prince some leeway, never taking his life.

But now...

The sword mercilessly piercing his chest made him see the reality.

"Big Brother, you have disappointed your younger brother."

"Your Highness."

"Father Prince."

The Crown Princess Consort and Jing Shu saw the sword in the Crown Prince’s chest and hurriedly rushed to him, supporting the fallen Crown Prince from each side.

The Crown Prince’s son Jun Zisheng drew his own sword from his waist, pointing at the Eldest Prince, sharply questioning, "Uncle, are you going to commit treason?"

The Eldest Prince was indifferent, "Heh heh, Zi Song, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Someone, tie up the Eldest Prince for me?" Jun Zisheng commanded the people around him.

As the Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince suddenly confronted each other and made a commotion, a large number of people had gathered around. Besides the Crown Princess Consort, Jing Shu, Jun Zisheng, and the Duke’s son Zhang Sheng, there were a group of the Crown Prince’s guards on the side.

So many were watching!

Yet, no one followed Jun Zisheng’s command.

Everyone stood aside, with a sword in hand, warily watching the Eldest Prince, not daring to step forward to bind him.

Because they all knew of the Eldest Prince’s strength and his reputation on the battlefield. Everyone here together was no match for the Eldest Prince.

The Crown Prince’s side was absolutely at a disadvantage.

If a fight really broke out, not only would it not resolve the matter, but it would escalate to an irreversible point.

Just as tension was at a breaking point, with an imminent outbreak, suddenly someone delivered a letter for the Crown Prince, claiming it was related to the Eighteenth Princess Jun Ning.

The Crown Prince, enduring his discomfort, reached out to take the letter, but did not receive it.

As the letter was about to reach his hand, the Eldest Prince snatched it away.

The Eldest Prince hurriedly opened the letter, quickly absorbed its contents, and upon finishing, he let out a sigh of relief as a massive weight in his heart settled.

He would be fine.

Even if those sent by the Emperor came to question him, or if he were to be blamed, he would be fine. Because that wretched girl was not dead, she was alive and would soon return.

This sudden disappearance of that wretched girl, at worst, would only result in a misdemeanor for failing to guard her well. Nothing more would befall him.

"As for you, Crown Prince, you should be grateful that wretched girl is unharmed. Otherwise, if I suffer, you shall not have peace either." The Eldest Prince sneered coldly, then ordered someone to attend to the Crown Prince’s injury.

Since that wretched girl was unharmed and wouldn’t die, he didn’t really intend to have the Crown Prince killed.

The Crown Princess Consort and Jing Shu looked at the sword in the Crown Prince’s left chest, crying continuously, nearly fainting from their grief. Jing Shu was also heartbroken, crying bitterly.

Their demeanor clearly showed their fear of something truly happening to the Crown Prince.

The Eldest Prince scorned, "Rest assured, he won’t die."

He had his limits and wouldn’t actually kill the Crown Prince.

"Today’s humiliation, I will never forget." The Crown Princess Consort growled through her teeth.

The Eldest Prince, however, shrugged it off completely, walking away with the letter to welcome the impending arrival of Emperor Yongning’s men.

...

After resolving everything at Black Water Village, Jun Ning bid farewell to the reluctant leader and everyone there, embarking on the road back to the main city of Sairu.

For some reason, on this journey, her heart had been restless, her chest felt heavy, and her whole being was very agitated. It was as if something bad had happened, something hard to accept.

"Ah Ning, what’s wrong with you?" Ye Ying, sitting beside her, inquired with concern.

Jun Ning held her forehead, "Nothing, it’s just... just feeling... a bit anxious... uneasy... and also, sad..."

"Don’t think about anything; take a nap!" Ye Ying suggested, "Once you wake up, we’ll be there."

Jun Ning nodded morosely, "Alright."

This carriage was large enough for laying down to sleep, so Jun Ning lay down and drifted to sleep. With the weather turning cold, lest Jun Ning catch cold, Ye Ying covered her with a blanket.

Jun Ning dreamed again.

In the dream, there were an especially high number of people, all kinds of people.

Warriors, soldiers, women, children... and also her Crown Prince brother, Crown Princess Consort sister-in-law, and the little girl Jing Shu, Jun Zisheng...

Her Crown Prince brother, donned in armor and clutching a sword, stood atop a towering city wall.

He looked pale as he gazed at these people, as if hesitating over something.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally ceased to hesitate.

He opened the city gates, allowing the elderly, women, and wailing children to enter...

But the next moment, something bad happened.
