WARNING: MATURE CONTENT AHEAD. INAPPROPRIATE WORDS AND VIOLENCE FURTHER.

Two days later,

Yang Hanying came to the Tan palace without any prior announcement. Though they are staying at the palace which is only half an hour away by horse from Tan palace. However, he doesn't need to come personally if he had something to talk to about.

Tan Jiahao stared at Yang Hanying who was sitting opposite him, with his legs crossed on one other and was drinking tea indifferently. His attitude and posture were screaming arrogance.

" What? Your Majesty, you want to meet Tan Xiu in private? Why? I mean...you know it's inappropriate for two of you to meet alone before marriage. The wedding ceremony is only a few days away, you can see her then." Tan Jiahao said while trying to be as polite as possible.

Yang Hanying glanced at him and said, " What's the difference if we meet today or a few days later. The truth is, she is going to be 'my consort' and that's not gonna change." he said straightly.

Tan Jiahao's lips twitched as he tried to persuade him but in the end, he had no choice but to agree to his demand. This man has no respect for elders, he was worried about how he is gonna treat his daughter in the future.

As Yang Hanying was enjoying the tea, he asked a guard to call Yuan Song.

After a few minutes, Yuan Song arrived. He was called to the palace to discuss military strategies and he was waiting in another room for him when he was called to see him in his study.

Yang Hanying raised his brows when he saw Yuan Song entering the study. His expressions darkened seeing the way Tan Jiahao was looking at him as if they were close.

" Your Majesty, you must have not seen him right? He is Yuan Song, the military commander of the Tan Dynasty." Tan Jiahao introduced Yuan Song to him.

Yang Hanying just smirked and looked away. " Why did you call him?" he asked.

Yuan Song frowned seeing the way he was rudely talking to Tan Jiahao. Tan Jiahao saw his clenched fists and patted his hand to make them loose.

" He is going to show you the way to Tan Xiu's chamber. I can't let any servant show you the way." Tan Jiahao said. historical

He is not ignorant enough to let Yang Hanying meet Tan Xiu alone. That's why he was sending Yuan Song with him to guard her well. Among everyone, he trusts him the best regarding his daughter's safety.

Yuan Song's expressions darkened upon hearing his words. Meeting Tan Xiu in private? He looked at Yang Hanying who was smirking mockingly seeing him.

-

Tan Xiu was sitting in her chamber, dressed in a peach color dress and ornaments which she rarely wears. She was already informed about Yang Hanying's visit to her chamber and Yu Ju helped her dress up in a hurry, while she stayed seated looking at the mirror emotionlessly.

A while later, a knock who could be heard on the door. Yu Ju glanced at her before walking to the door to pull it open.

Yu Ju immediately bent down in a bow position seeing Yang Hanying standing there with his hands clasped behind. His powerful presence made her shiver as she stepped steps away from him, making way for him. He walked into the room and looked at Tan Xiu who was standing beside the bed and greeted him politely.

He looked at Yu Ju and said, " You, go out!"

Yu Ju glanced at Tan Xiu hesitantly before leaving the room. On her way out, she noticed Yuan Song following him and sighed in relief.

Yuan Song entered the room behind him and the moment his eyes met Tan Xiu's, he felt a pang in his heart. He never thought that things would turn out like this. The girl who could smile even when she fell, was looking at him emotionlessly.

Tan Xiu also stared at Yuan Song and her empty eyes started to water. However, she closed her eyes and turned away. She doesn't want to mess things now. Since things have turned this way, does she have any choice? This is the price she has to pay for being a princess.

Yang Hanying saw her expressions and sensed the tension between the two. His jaw clenched as he turned to Yuan Song and ordered, " You too, get out!"

Yuan Song stood on the same spot and said, " His Majesty has asked me to accompany you here. I can't leave this room until you do." he said straightly.

Yang Hanying smirked and said, " Didn't you hear what I said? Get out. You're just a mere commander, don't forget I am the Emperor of the Yang Dynasty. I can behead you right away in crime to talk back at the Emperor." he said threateningly.

Tan Xiu's eyes widened hearing his words. He glanced at Yuan Song in fear and said, "Commander Yuan Song, you go outside and wait there."

" But Princess…"

"I said go," she said sternly. She could see that Yang Hanying is not normal. He is carrying the blood of numerous people, he is someone who doesn't hesitate to do bloodshed.

In the end, Yuan Song left the chamber, leaving the two alone. Yang Hanying smirked and shut the door close as soon as Yuan Song's left.

-

Yang Hanying glanced at Tan Xiu from head to toe making her uncomfortable with his gaze. He walked to her with his firm steps and leaned closer to her ear, " Why aren't you smiling? Huh? Don't you like to smile?" he said while extending his hand to touch her face.

She avoided his touch reflexively which darkened his face. He hated the sad expressions she was showing him. The way she looked at that man and him, is different.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed a fistful of her hair, pulling them back, " Why? Does my touch disgust you? Huh? Do you want that guy...Yuan Song to touch you? Wait...Did he touch you already?"

" Your...Majesty...please leave me. You can't do this…" she struggled to make him release her hair but he pulled them harder making her cry in pain.

"Seems like he did," he smirked seeing her struggling to get away from his grasp. He grabbed her jaw and clenched it between his palm making her yelp.

" Where did he touch you? Huh? Here?" he brushed his thumb against her lips making her struggle even more.

" Or did you sleep with him? Tell me! You're mine. You can't look at another man with your lustful gaze. If you dared to look at him with your beautiful eyes, I will kill him before gauging your eyeballs out of your eyes." he threatened her.

His gaze was piercing through her soul, making her shiver at his crude behavior towards her. Everything was right that she heard about him.

He is a ruthless man with no feelings whatsoever. He treats women as things and nothing else. The rumor that he killed all his brothers to get the throne and made their wives his concubines, seems to be true now.

His attitude towards her is like this when she hasn't even met him before. She was afraid of what's going to happen when she gets married to him.
