"What is it that you want to ask Princess Yawen?" Prince Hilal said again, his expression indicating he was on the verge of saying something, yet he seemed somewhat nervous.
He was really worried that Princess Yawen, in her current state, would say something that could completely infuriate Shen Li. At that moment, not even Princess Yawen's life would be sufficient to make amends.
Shen Li smiled as she looked at him, pausing before saying, "If you feel it's inappropriate for me to ask her, then I'll ask you."
"No, no..." Prince Hilal instinctively shook his head. Seeing Shen Li's smile for an instant sent shivers down his spine, giving him an ominous feeling. "Please feel free to ask."
He then personally started to tear off the cloth that was gagging Princess Yawen's mouth.
"Shen Li! Shen Li!!!!"
Princess Yawen shouted angrily, struggling even more fiercely. Her voice was completely ruined, hoarse like coarse fabric. It was like a dry twig, devoid of any youthful femininity.
