Chapter 624: Betting on Life and Death
A sinister smile appeared on Qin Feishi's lips, then the sword in his hand slipped out, his figure flashed past, and he approached Yan Mu with lightning speed.
He had poison hidden in his sleeves. He just waved it lightly and the poison spilled out. This poison is colorless and invisible. It can make the poisoned person instantly powerless and lose control of his body. As long as his movements are fast enough, others will not be able to notice it at all.
Strange.
However, just when he thought he could definitely win this time, Yan Mu actually took the initiative to bump into the tip of his sword in the next moment.
He is crazy!
No, he was betting that he didn't dare to kill him!
In front of so many people, especially in front of the emperor, if he killed Yan Mu, it would definitely be a death penalty.
Yan Mu dared to fight to the death, but he did not want to waste all his efforts. Just when he hesitated, Yan Mu curled his lips, and the next moment the sword in his hand was pressed against Qin Feishi's neck.
Qin Feishi stared at Yan Mu, his breath getting heavier and heavier. This time he lost again. Yan Mu's unyielding madness actually scared him.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
The emperor drank three times in a row and stood up to applaud excitedly, as if he was the one who had won the battle just now, as if he had finally felt proud after being suppressed by the former prince for so many years.
"King Anqing has great kung fu, and my Qi'er is even better!"
At this moment, a sense of comfort as a father made him look at Yan Mu with more kindness.
The others came back to their senses and echoed the emperor one after another, praising His Highness the Seventh Highness. From the competition between the two sides just now, everyone could see that Yan Mu's kung fu and courage were indeed second to none.
At this time, Yan Mu tilted his head and smiled, put away his sword, and raised his eyebrows at Qin Fei, "You lose."
Qin Feishi coughed twice and continued to pretend to be weak, "I lost, and I am convinced that I lost."
Yan Mu snorted, "Just be convinced."
Qin Feishi stepped forward and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Highness, have you ever thought that if I went crazy just now, ignored you, and really stabbed you with a sword, you would be dead now?"
."
"Don't you dare!"
"What if?"
"Nothing unexpected."
Qin Fei smiled faintly, "Your Highness thinks he has a thorough understanding of human nature, but he doesn't know that human nature is actually the most elusive. At that moment, I really had murderous intentions. If there was even a chance of escape, I would definitely kill him.
You, Your Highness, should be glad not that you have the courage to fight to the death, but that I still have my sense. As for you, Your Highness, you like to bet on life and death, which shows that life and death are not too important to you, but it is a pity for the princess. She wholeheartedly
The man I love, but this man doesn’t understand that his life and death are not just his own business, and he has no sense of responsibility for the person he loves.”
After saying that, Qin Fei shook his head.
This sentence made Yan Mu frown, and he remembered Liu Yunxiang's ridiculous question to him.
"In case you die, I will not remarry. I will support this palace and try my best to raise our two children. Every year on your death anniversary, I will burn paper for you. I will burn it for decades.
. But when I die, I look back at this life and feel that it is not worth it. The decades have been wasted. At that time, I can obviously reunite with you on the road to hell, but I don’t want to meet you again, so I will tell my children
You guys, don’t let me and you die together, one life is enough, don’t let me do it again.”
When he heard these words, he just felt that she was making trouble unreasonably. What if he died, why should he assume that if he was alive? But at this moment, he suddenly understood her mood when she said these words, and a feeling arose in his heart.
A feeling of desolation.
The emperor was very happy when the victory was decided and rewarded Yan Mu with the jade on the spot.
But Yan Mu didn't answer, "This jade was placed in my father's palace, so it's better to put it back where it originally stayed."
The emperor asked doubtfully: "You don't want it?"
"A son should be filial to his father."
When the emperor heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, my seventh son is not only capable but also filial. I am very pleased."
When he glanced at Qin Fei standing next to him again, his smile faded and he said, "King Anqing, if I don't give you a chance, I can only blame you for not having the ability."
Qin Fei lowered his head to salute, coughed twice and said, "Yes, it's just that his flying skills are not as good as those of His Highness Seventh Prince."
"Hey, I see that King Anqing is seriously ill. It is not easy to compete three times in a row, winning two and losing one." Old Prince Shunping said.
The emperor smiled lightly: "We were defeated after all."
He asked Wei Shuyi to bring the jade in front of him, held the jade in both hands, and praised it repeatedly as a good thing. But the next moment, his eyes sharpened, his hand loosened, and the jade hit the ground and broke into two pieces.
.
With this sound, everyone present was excited.
"Your Majesty..." Old Prince Shunping stood up and looked at the broken jade in disbelief.
The emperor clicked his tongue and said: "This thing is too slippery, I couldn't hold it for a while."
He smiled, and then looked at Qin Fei: "It doesn't matter if it is broken, but it would be bad luck to keep the sinner's things."
Qin Feishi lowered his eyes and looked calm. This jade should be the only relic left by his father, but he was not as reactionary as the others present.
Moreover, it was not the jade that the emperor threw. He clearly threw the face of the former prince and the face of Prince Anqing to the ground.
"Old Seven, go back to the inner treasury and pick out something that catches your eye." The emperor looked at Yan Mu with a smile and said.
Yan Mu saluted: "Yes."
After the storm of the competition passed, Yan Mu sat back. At this time, he was a little afraid to look at Liu Yunxiang. An official toasted, and Yan Mu drank a few glasses without hesitation, his stomach burning.
At this time, Liu Yunxiang put a chopstick of vegetables into his bowl: "Eat more vegetables to make up for it."
"I was just... I was sure... Qin Fei didn't dare to hurt me."
"..."
"After all, in front of so many people, he's not crazy, he..."
"..."
"I definitely won't do it next time."
Not getting a response from Liu Yunxiang, he turned his head in a panic and saw that her face was so calm that it was almost indifferent. Maybe she felt his gaze, so she turned to look at him with a distressed look on her face.
"It must be really hard for me to put so much effort into trying to please him."
Yan Mu hurriedly lowered his head and his eyes turned red.
The man called him "Qi'er", the man said he was filial and was proud of him. All these things made him extremely sick, but he kept smiling, as if he was a filial son that is hard to find in this world.
How could he not feel uncomfortable? But he thought no one understood it, not even Liu Yunxiang could truly feel it.
His hand was held by Liu Yunxiang under the table, and he shook it hard, "You have done a good job. One day, you will achieve what you want."
"What I want is that our family can live a stable life."
"Um."
"You don't believe it?"
"Xin." Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu, "My wish is that you seek justice for yourself and resolve the hatred in your heart, so that our family can truly live a stable life. But Yan Mu, you seem to hate me and hate me too."
Two children, you want us to lose you and let us experience the pain of losing our loved ones. I even think you will kill yourself one day to take revenge on us."
This statement is ridiculous. Liu Yunxiang laughed after saying it, but his laughter became more and more sad.
