Chapter 107: Goddess of Vengeance

After Emperor Wu gave the order, the horses in the square neighed, and the high-spirited young men ran wildly in all directions, as if running towards their own future.

Gradually, a small team gathered behind the princes.

These were the followers of the princes, and they naturally had to follow their masters.

Every spring hunt was a time for the princes to compete secretly.

Han Xu saw that the person who followed Wu Xiuxian the closest was He Tuo, the son of the Minister of Works, whom he had met in his house last time.

"Han Xu, come together?" Wu Xiuxian invited Han Xu warmly after seeing him.

But Han Xu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness, but it's a bit inconvenient for me."

After saying that, he pointed to Yingying behind him. Wu Xiuxian smiled meaningfully, and then took He Tuo and a group of younger brothers and ran away.

He knew that Han Xu's participation in the spring hunt was just a formality, so he didn't care.

For Han Xu, this spring hunt was just like a spring outing, and he obviously understood it, so it was a pleasure to take Yingying with him.

The others soon disappeared from view, leaving only Han Xu and Yingying, riding slowly and leisurely towards the depths of the mountains.

Han Xu was very familiar with monsters. He had seen many monsters when he was in the northern border.

From the mountains in front, he felt the unique breath of monsters, which was very strong. There must be a lot of monsters in this mountain.

"There are only two of us now. Tell me, what did the prince send you to do?" Han Xu suddenly asked after feeling that everyone had gone far away.

"Master, you are joking. How could Yingying recognize His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Yingying said, but her horse slowed down.

"Master, it's you. Yingying only found out today that you are no different from other unfaithful men."

"You women love to fantasize." Han Xu said. The person he least wanted to face was Yingying.

Because he couldn't see through Yingying.

She had a noble temperament, and there was no trace of worldly smell on her body. In terms of temperament, many official ladies were not as good as her. Among all the women he had seen, only Han Luoling, who was crowned as a concubine, could suppress Yingying in temperament.

In the past, every time Han Xu went to Yanchun Pavilion, Yingying did not give in to him like the other three people, but seemed more proactive.

Just like now, Yingying felt wronged in her heart. Although she would still give face to Han Xu in front of others, she would not have a good face in private.

Especially now she still needed to divert Han Xu's attention.

Without waiting for Yingying to speak, Han Xu continued: "Yingying, there is no one else now, tell me honestly, what exactly does the prince want you to do?"

"Master, Yingying really doesn't know what you are talking about."

"Did he ask you to assassinate my sister?"

Yingying didn't expect that Han Xu would tell the truth in one sentence, and her face turned pale.

No wonder Han Xu insisted on letting her come with him to hunt, so that he could move her away from Han Luoling, just to not give her a chance to attack.

Looking at her, Han Xu knew that he had guessed it right.

He now understood why Yingying looked at him with a warning and reminder.

"Forced?" Han Xu asked.

"There is no such thing as forced or not forced. Yingying is a slave and has no choice."

"You are the Fifth Prince's person on the surface, but in fact, you are a nail planted by the Crown Prince by his side, right?"

"You are different from Qing'er, Yiyi and Nishang."

"The three of them were forced to become tools used by others because they were deceived or framed by others, and you took the initiative to agree to the Crown Prince to go undercover in Yanchun Tower."

Han Xu observed Yingying. At this point, she was still able to keep a calm face. This concentration is really good.

Yingying asked back, "Master, do you mean that I humiliated myself and sold myself to a brothel?"

"You can be used by the prince willingly for only one reason: you want revenge." Han Xu smiled and said, "Your surname is Fan, and your father is the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Fan Che. If your father had not died, he should be the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"How do you know?"

Han Xu did not answer her, but continued, "I know a lot. Back then, it was the fifth prince who used a trumped-up crime to cause the execution of your entire Fan family."

Hearing this, Yingying's body trembled slightly. She was already trying her best to control her emotions and not let her emotions get out of control.

Han Xu said, "You should have been only six years old that year when the accident happened. I don't know what method you used to survive. It should be that the prince found you, and a few years later, you joined Yanchun Pavilion."

"It was a wet nurse in the family who replaced me with her own child."

Under Han Xu's step-by-step guidance, Yingying seemed to have returned to that dark and bloody day. She was just six years old and was catching butterflies in the garden.

But suddenly, a group of fully armed people broke into the house, and she was pulled by her loyal nanny to hide in the dry well in the yard.

In the darkness, she heard screams coming from outside, and finally, there was a baby crying.

After an unknown period of time, when she struggled to climb out of the dry well, she saw corpses and debris all over the ground.

It is hard to imagine what kind of trauma such a scene would leave in Yingying's young heart.

Since then, there has been one less innocent and romantic little princess in the world, and one more revenge angel who only wants revenge.

"The prince promised to help me get revenge." After a long time, Yingying said this.

Han Xu said: "So, you would rather sacrifice yourself. You should know that if you take action today, you will definitely die."

"Do you think the prince will still keep his promise after you die?"

"ridiculous!"

Two lines of tears flowed from Yingying's eyes, and she said: "But what can I do? That is the fifth prince, the prince, and his majesty's son!"

Yingying, who was fully aroused by Han Xu, did not notice the difference between Han Xu and usual, and did not have time to think about why Han Xu knew these dusty secrets.

She said: "The crown prince and the fifth prince can always live only one."

"Then why do you believe that the one who survives must be the prince?"

"After all, he is the prince, the legitimate heir to the throne." Yingying said, "Then why do you doubt that the prince will lose?"

"Because he chose to go against me." Han Xu said matter-of-factly.

At this time, Yingying became more awake, recovered from her previous emotions, and finally discovered the difference between Han Xu and her impression.

She asked in surprise: "How do you know so much?"

"I asked Yiyi to investigate." Han Xu said, "What Yiyi is best at is intelligence. You don't know that, right?"

"Them? You?"

"I said, the three of them are my maids, real maids, do you understand?"

Of course Yingying understood what Han Xu meant. Although she still didn't believe that Han Xu could get their true loyalty, her intuition told her that it was true.

"How can this be?"

"If you swear allegiance to me, I will help you get revenge." Han Xu looked into Yingying's eyes and said solemnly.

"How can I trust you?" Yingying asked, taking two steps back. One of her hands was already behind her, holding the dagger hidden in her waist.

Han Xu knew too much, and Yingying was already hesitating whether to let Han Xu leave. If she let Han Xu go, no one would be able to protect her once her identity was spread.

Han Xu didn't mind Yingying's little actions, but said: "I understand your mood. Since you want a reason to believe in me, I will give it to you."

After saying that, Han Xu turned to look to the other side and said, "You have been hiding for so long, come out."

A rustling sound came from behind a big tree, and then a figure stepped out of the shadows.

Seeing this person, Han Xu was slightly surprised.

"It's you?"
