Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 141 - 136: A Very Long - (Part 2)
The soldiers reported back that after hearing the messenger’s report, the Second Prince refused to believe reality, not only shouting loudly but also smashing things.
Shen Jingxian set down the hand she was painting with red lacquer and asked softly, "How much did he smash?"
"There wasn’t anything valuable in the room, but the door was broken."
"Make him pay, and if he can’t afford it, take his life as compensation."
Of course, the Second Prince couldn’t afford it.
In the past, a mere door would have been nothing in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, a crowd would rush to compensate him.
But things were different now; he had already been given to Yunyi by Dongwu Country, not even bearing the title of hostage, just a simple sentence, at the mercy of disposal.
The Second Prince’s princely identity was already just a name.
Using the Second Prince’s inability to compensate as an excuse, Shen Jingxian stripped him naked and paraded him in a carriage.
The carriage would parade around the whole of Mingxu City, and as it proceeded, people shouted beside it that the Second Prince was guilty of great crimes, had lost his princely identity, and anyone could do what they wished to him.
At first, no one dared to act, but someone unknown started it by throwing an egg at the Second Prince’s head.
The Second Prince screamed and then began to curse.
But that was all; apart from the Second Prince’s cursing, nothing else happened.
Others also grew bolder.
The Second Prince often acted arrogantly, and even though he hadn’t been in Mingxu City long, he’d already done a lot of evil deeds; soon, many different kinds of things covered the Second Prince.
Most were filthy objects, but gradually sharper things appeared too, like small knives, like axes.
However, the axe was too large to pass through the gaps in the wooden cage and got stuck in the wood.
This was the first time the Second Prince felt fortunate to be confined in the cage; otherwise, he might have died just now.
Before setting off, Shen Jingxian had found him and made an agreement that as long as he could survive parading around Mingxu City for a week, she would send him back to the Imperial City safely and ensure that his princely status would remain unchanged.
Of course, if he didn’t survive, then that was the end.
The Second Prince never thought a parade could be problematic, even if he was parading naked, it didn’t really matter to him. Long before, in the Imperial City, he had already walked the streets naked.
In Dongwu, if a man walked the streets naked, it wouldn’t be seen as strange; instead, it would frighten women.
A naked man signified courtship, and the first woman he violated could become his wife.
Shen Jingxian didn’t know this custom; otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed the Second Prince to parade naked but would have confiscated his implements of crime.
In short, until the axe appeared, the Second Prince didn’t think anything unexpected would happen. He even thought about how, after rising again, he would make the princess weep beneath him.
But now, looking at the small knife, the dagger, and the embroidery needle beside him, he was terrified.
"How dare you, commoners! I am a Prince! If you dare harm this Prince, once I get out, I will make sure you pay!"
It seemed some people were frightened by the Second Prince’s words, but others seemed infuriated by them.
A petite and charming woman stepped forward, raising her innocent little face to the person guarding the Second Prince and asked, "Dear brother, can I do anything to the Second Prince?"
The guard replied expressionlessly and mechanically, "Yes, you can."
Damn, I’ve said a hundred times that you can do anything, do anything, yet all they can do is throw vegetables, truly pathetic.
This guard was a Hidden Guard by the princess’s side, aware of all the news she knew, naturally understanding what a scumbag the Second Prince was.
They all understood that the princess wanted the people of Mingxu City to settle their scores, especially the women who had been humiliated by the Second Prince. As long as they wished, they could take the Second Prince’s life, but they didn’t expect the people of Mingxu City to be so pure-hearted that even after such a long journey, their punishment for the Second Prince remained at simply throwing things.
The seemingly harmless girl smiled after getting the Hidden Guard’s confirmed response and said shyly, "Then... dear brother, could you slightly step aside? I want to take something from the Second Prince."
