The Eunuch Has A Wife - Chapter 1

The year 962 of Baiyue was an absurd one for the residents of the capital.

It all started with the announcement that the eldest princess of the Western Island Nation was coming to marry into the royal family. However, just a few days after her arrival in the capital, the Western Island Nation fell, and the princess who came for marriage suddenly became a princess of a fallen kingdom.

The absurdity continued when the Crown Prince became infatuated with this princess. Concerned for her son’s reputation, the Empress quickly issued a decree, marrying the fallen princess off to a eunuch.

Later, in an attempt to win the princess’s affection, the Crown Prince even broke into the palace at night. Not only did he fail to win her over, but he also lost his position as Crown Prince.

The most absurd part was the rumor that the deposed Crown Prince, still unwilling to give up, secretly maintained contact with the fallen princess and eventually met a mysterious death at the royal mausoleum.

Coincidentally, the fallen princess and her eunuch husband, who happened to be guarding the mausoleum, were sentenced to public execution at this time, with a rather subtle charge: conspiring to murder the prince.

“That eldest princess of the Western Island Nation is truly a troublemaker.”

“Absolutely, but I feel sorry for the eunuch.”

“Who knows, maybe the eunuch found out he was being cuckolded and killed the prince in a fit of rage.”

“…”

The onlookers whispered incessantly, while the two at the center of the discussion knelt on the execution platform.

The unfortunate Bai Zhi was filled with sorrow. She never expected the Crown Prince to be so reckless as to break into the palace and even chase after the princess to the mausoleum. She also didn’t expect the fallen princess to be even more reckless, accidentally killing the Crown Prince.

Before the execution, Bai Zhi saw the fallen princess, Wei Ziwan, mouth the words “I’m sorry” to her.

Bai Zhi wanted to cry but had no tears. Would an apology make any difference? Watching the executioner’s blade descend, she tightly closed her eyes, and the world fell silent.
