After an assassination attempt, Lu Huaizhen discovered he had gained a special ability.
For example, he could always hear all kinds of thoughts.
Malice, disgust, and people asking in their hearts why he still wasn’t dead.
The incessant stream of dark, noisy thoughts drove the Crown Prince mad with irritation, making his temper even more violent.
There was only one person who was different.
While everyone around him wondered what they should do today to kill the Crown Prince, Jiang Wanyi rested her chin in her hands and counted the stars. Why is the plot moving so slowly? When can I finally coast until Lu Huaizhen takes the throne? I’m still waiting to get my divorce papers and eat my way through every pork knuckle in the capital!
Then one day, Lu Huaizhen’s life hung by a thread.
The imperial physicians declared he wouldn’t live three days. Even the lanterns outside the Crown Prince’s residence had been changed to white.
When Lu Huaizhen woke, the first person he saw was Jiang Wanyi, her eyes red as she held his hand. She had cared for him around the clock for three days and three nights.
When she saw he was awake, Jiang Wanyi sobbed and threw herself into his arms.
Lu Huaizhen asked hoarsely, “You can’t bear the thought of me dying?”
Jiang Wanyi nodded vigorously. “If Your Highness dies, I won’t go on living either.”
Before Lu Huaizhen could finish smiling, he heard Jiang Wanyi’s thoughts.
[You dog of a man, pull yourself together and don’t die! The plot seems to be going wrong. If you die, who am I supposed to cling to? Your reputation is so awful I won’t even be able to remarry. Sob sob.]
Lu Huaizhen: ...
Well, it seemed the Crown Princess had given a lot of thought to things during the three days he was unconscious.
