Xu Ruan almost broke down. If she didn't know what was happening now, then she would be utterly stupid. It turns out the third prince was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
He hid his real strength from even her.
Xu Ruan pinched her chin and rubbed it gently. It's a pity that he did love her. But one thing he would never tolerate was betrayal.
Xu Ruan immediately dropped to her knees and pleaded.
"Your Highness, I was wrong. It was the circumstances that forced me to act in that way, I really love you, please believe me!"
Long Cheng dragged her up and pressed her against himself.
"Ruan'er, the royal family is inherently cold-blooded. You should have kept that in mind my dear."
Before she could respond, he cleanly slit her throat and let her fall limply on the ground. He cleaned the blade of his dagger on her dress calmly.
One of his men come in, dropping to their knees.
"My Lord."
Long Cheng pointed to her body.
"Dispose of it in the mass graves."
