Xun Yuyan picked up the wine glass on the table and threw it towards Li Danqing.
Li Danqing dodged and avoided the incoming wine glass.
With a bang, the wine glass hit the wall behind him, shattered with a crisp sound, and the wine inside splashed everywhere.
Li Danqing looked at the cracks in the wall that was hit with lingering fear, and couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
"Are you serious?!" He said in surprise. If his cultivation hadn't increased dramatically during the year in Yangshan, and this cup hit him in the face, he would have fainted on the spot.
Xun Yuyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, raised his neck and said: "You are in Yingshui County, and hundreds of thousands of Youyun troops can't kill you. How can I, a weak woman, throw a water cup to kill the brave prince?"
Sir, are you going to do anything good?"
After saying that, Xun Yuyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, stared at Li Danqing with charming eyes, and said: "Besides, if you don't have this ability, how can you be the lover of Queen Wuyang in the future?"
Li Danqing suddenly felt his head was as big as a bucket, thinking that this girl might have lost her brain!
"I refuse!" Li Danqing said righteously.
"Why? Am I not good-looking?" Xun Yuyan obviously couldn't accept her failure in this area, and she asked with her eyes widened.
Li Danqing sighed, but said patiently: "Although Ji Qi is the prince, it's hard to say whether he can reach the day when he ascends the throne. It's not like you want to put your treasure on him so early.
Smart move."
"Ji Qi is not stupid. The civil strife in Wuyang back then has caused the Wuyang Dynasty to still have its vitality to this day. This made Youyun and the Liao people repeatedly cross the border. Is it possible that he will make the same mistake again? You are just reluctant to marry me.
Ji Quan! Right!" Xun Yuyan said with a sneer, staring straight at Li Danqing, somewhat aggressively.
This is a question Li Danqing has never answered directly.
But the more this happened, the more she wanted to know.
…
Xun Yuyan's father's name is Xun Xianwen.
He was an adviser to the eldest prince Ji Xuan at that time.
The eldest prince's biological mother was kind to Xun Xianwen for saving his life, and the late emperor also attached great importance to her. After the princess died of illness, Xun Xianwen has been assisting the eldest prince Ji Xuan and making suggestions for him.
After Ji Xuan's defeat, Xun Xianwen did not die to express his ambition like other retainers, but chose to remain anonymous.
This escape lasted seven years.
Xun Yuyan lived a homeless life with her father for seven years, with no guarantee of survival.
The most common thing his father said to her was: "Ji Xuan and the Crown Princess were life-saving to the Xun family, and the two princes Ji Xuan and Ji Cheng died unexpectedly."
"Yuyan! You have to remember!"
"We must take revenge!"
"must!"
The young Xun Yuyan could not understand the grudges and hatreds between these adults at all. She only remembered two names - Ji Qi and Li Mulin!
Since then, her father has given her a skill called "Rakshasa Demon Xian".
As the name suggests, this is an evil method.
Women who practice this method have to be immersed in some weird medicine pools since they were young, and endure the excruciating pain all the time. After they have reached the level of cultivation, their whole bodies will exude a huge charm, which can be as relaxed as their hearts, even the most severe pain.
Even the pure-hearted Buddha could not resist this charm, and could easily fall into it and let the woman control him.
With this method and Xun Yuyan's already outstanding appearance, it is not difficult to charm them as long as they are presented to Ji Quan or Ji Qi.
Xun Xianwen has been hiding in Tibet for so many years in order for his daughter to practice this method to perfection. He originally thought of finding a way to send his daughter to the royal capital, but he didn't want his traces to be exposed at that time.
Xun Xianwen, who was well versed in Wuyang's laws, simply took advantage of the situation and died generously.
Xun Yuyan was demoted to a slave status. Because of his good looks, he was quickly spotted by a prostitute. With his talents, he was spotted by people from Baihualou and bought into the capital. This is how he became the oiran of Baihualou.
Her reputation spread widely.
Xun Yuyan, who came to the royal capital, soon came into contact with some of the eldest prince's old men who were also hidden in the royal capital, and a revenge plan was also drawn up at that time.
Jiqi has been living in seclusion in the palace all year round, so it is not easy to get in touch with Jiqi.
Li Mulin has never been close to women, and he has been away from home all year round. It is also difficult to get in touch with her.
The only targets she could target were their sons, Crown Prince Ji Quan and Crown Prince Li Danqing.
But at that time, Li Danqing was notorious. Xun Yuyan and the old prince's subordinates always believed that killing a waste like Li Danqing could not shake the foundation of Wuyang. On the contrary, as the prince, Ji Quan would not be able to shake Wuyang's foundation if he died.
, firstly, they can make a big fuss, and secondly, they can leave the crown prince's position vacant. There will definitely be infighting within Wuyang for the crown prince's position. Only in this way can they achieve their goal of aspirational Wuyang Dynasty to the greatest extent.
As a result, the eldest prince's old departments found out that Tai
They planned the time when Zi and Ji Qi left the palace, created a chance encounter, and then spread the news about the time when Xun Yuyan would leave the court as the oiran. As they expected, Ji Quan was indeed present on the day when Xun Yuyan left the court.
When Xun Yuyan finished the song, Ji Quan looked obsessed, and was about to overwhelm the audience and become Xun Yuyan's guest. However, at this time, the Crown Prince Li suddenly appeared, completely unafraid of Ji Quan's identity.
, used coercion and inducement to snatch away the qualification to become a guest of the curtain from Ji Quan's hands.
At that time, Xun Yuyan was filled with resentment towards Li Danqing, thinking that since she couldn't kill Ji Quan, she would kill Li Danqing who came to her door.
But after the two of them entered the room, before Xun Yuyan could use her charm skills, Li Danqing revealed her identity with one word.
The frightened Xun Yuyan originally wanted to fight to the death with Li Danqing, but there were several qi machines outside the door locking her figure - they were hidden stakes that had been following Li Danqing all year round.
Realizing that it was impossible to kill Li Danqing, Xun Yuyan chose to compromise, but Li Danqing was not as eager as the rumors said and rushed forward to do whatever he wanted with her.
Instead, she was just asked to play music and dance, so that for a long time, Xun Yuyan secretly suspected that His Royal Highness had something unspeakable that could not be revealed to outsiders.
Then he spent a lot of money to buy Xun Yuyan, so that outsiders could not see her at all, and from then on, she became Li Danqing's "forbidden wife".
Unable to kill Li Danqing and unable to get close to Ji Quan, Xun Yuyan suddenly changed her attitude after a period of hysteria and began to flatter Li Danqing in every way.
Her idea was very simple. Since she couldn't escape Li Danqing's clutches, she should make him fall in love with her, let him relax his vigilance, and then look for opportunities for revenge.
But what she never expected was that although Crown Prince Li couldn't walk when he saw a pretty girl, and he might have some rude words, he was very honest. He came to her residence every day, and apart from taking her to drink and listen to music, he played dice games.
He tried to bet against her, or tried to persuade her to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, but he never showed the slightest interest in her body.
Days passed like this, and Xun Yuyan was almost used to being kept in a cage by Li Danqing as a canary.
Just when she was about to give up hope, news of Li Mulin's death in battle suddenly came.
Immediately afterwards, Li Danqing was exiled to Yangshan, and Xun Yuyan also took this opportunity to escape from Li Danqing's clutches.
But surprisingly, Xun Yuyan was not very happy for a long time after that.
She often worries about how that bastard is doing in Yangshan.
In this regard, Xun Yuyan often comforted herself that she did not care about Li Danqing, but just regretted that she could not kill this guy with her own hands.
And after half a year of confusion, the eldest prince's old subordinates contacted Xun Yuyan again, and this news made Xun Yuyan cheer up again. She began to try to meet Ji Quan, relying on her acquired charm skills and
Ji Quan's already impressive talent quickly made him fall in love with him.
Seeing that the plan was going smoothly, the bastard Li Danqing returned to Wuyang City, just like a few years ago, and disrupted her good situation again.
…
After the surprise caused by seeing Li Danqing again dissipated, Xun Yuyan gradually calmed down.
The first step in the plan she re-formulated with the eldest prince's old subordinates was to marry Ji Quan.
And if you can be sure that the guy in front of you also cares about you before marrying Ji Quan, wouldn't it be considered an ambition for him to watch the woman he loves walk into the arms of another man?
Having made up his mind, Xun Yuyan looked straight at Li Danqing, wanting to get the answer from this guy's mouth.
"I can't bear to leave." But what was unexpected was that this time Li Danqing's answer came very quickly and calmly. He was completely different from every time he had been careless in the past.
Such an answer stunned Xun Yuyan, and her heart actually trembled.
She was a little secretly happy, but after the secret joy came more bitterness.
Such a mixed feeling made her suddenly feel uninterested. As for why such a feeling came from, Xun Yuyan couldn't tell for a moment, or...
She didn't dare to think too seriously.
"Leave Wuyang City." Just where she was in a daze, Li Danqing's voice sounded again.
She was stunned, looked up at Li Danqing, and met Li Shizi's solemn gaze at this moment.
"After Ji Xuan's death, the old troops left behind were all chickens and dogs. When such a mob came together, the plans they came up with could not withstand scrutiny and could even be said to be childish."
"Do you think that by marrying Ji Quan, you can take charge of the government when he ascends the throne?"
"How can there be such a cheap deal in this world? If the emperor is really that good, how can the people in the world fight to the death and bleed for the throne?"
"Although your charm skills are superb, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial court. No one is going to expose them now because you are not worthy of being exposed. One day you really get to that point, and you will not know how you died.
"
Li Danqing spoke slowly
, Xun Yuyan had already guessed the plan that he had not revealed.
After he said this, he stretched out his hand and pushed all the belongings that Xun Yuyan had saved for a year but lost to him in front of Xun Yuyan: "I just did the math. Here are the jewelry plus the banknotes.
In addition to the full value of sixteen thousand taels of silver, this money is enough for you to live a good life."
"Let the affairs of our fathers disappear with the death of our fathers. There is no right or wrong in the struggle for imperial power, it is only about strength and weakness. It is difficult to be born in this world, so live well, okay?"
Xun Yuyan frowned. She stared at Li Danqing and said in a deep voice: "Then why don't you leave? Do you think such words are convincing from your mouth?"
Li Danqing shrugged helplessly: "I am in a whirlpool and have no way out. You are different..."
"Stop pretending to be a good person!"
"If Ji Qi and your father hadn't snooped on the throne and killed the eldest prince and the second prince, what would have happened today!"
"How can my father think so deeply of you that he will not be able to rest in peace until he dies?"
"Li Mulin is now reaping the consequences!"
"I can't kill Ji Qi, but I will definitely destroy his Wuyang world! Even if Li Mulin and Ji Qi are under Jiuquan, they won't have peace of mind!"
The smile on Xun Yuyan's face completely disappeared at that moment. She knocked the wooden box that Li Danqing pushed to the ground, then stood up, her face flushed, and roared at Li Danqing.
Li Danqing looked at the woman who suddenly became crazy in front of him in silence, with a little pity in his expression.
And this pity obviously stung Xun Yuyan: "I don't need you to pity me! I avenge my father! I avenge the eldest prince and the second prince! This is what I should do! It is also what I must do!"
"But you don't like these, do you?" Li Danqing looked at the girl and said.
Xun Yuyan was stunned when he heard this.
From the time she became sensible, the teachings she heard were all about revenge, and everything she did was for revenge.
That has become her obsession, and she doesn't even know what the meaning of her existence is besides revenge. She smiled sadly at that time: "Not everyone has such a good life as the prince... he can do what he likes.
matter."
Li Danqing was silent for a while after hearing this. He somewhat understood the suffering of the person in front of him.
"People...have to learn to live for themselves..." he whispered.
"Then, prince, are you living for yourself? Li Mulin did not die in the hands of the Liao people. Everyone in the world knows it, but don't you still work as a dog for the Ji family? Is there any difference between us? It's just that
He chose to be his dog who looked after his home and hospital, and I wanted to be the wolf that gnawed his flesh and blood!" Xun Yuyan asked loudly.
"Li Mulin, this dog, thought that taking care of his family's house would bring him prosperity and wealth, but in the end? He died a tragic death! What? You haven't learned a lesson from your father, and you thought that just being a dog and wagging its tail would make it possible.
Got the favor of the Ji family?"
Li Danqing frowned when he heard this, and stood up suddenly. He stretched out one hand, grabbed Xun Yuyan's neck, and lifted her petite body up high.
"My father is different from them." Li Danqing gritted his teeth and said, a rare evil spirit surging between his brows.
The huge force coming from her neck made it difficult for Xun Yuyan to breathe and her face turned a little pale, but she was not afraid at all. Instead, she looked straight at Li Danqing and sneered: "Of course it's different, your father's behavior
The dog was the most loyal to Ji Qi, and died the most miserably!"
Li Danqing's frown deepened a little, and the hand that squeezed Xun Yuyan's neck became a little stronger. Xun Yuyan's face became more and more ugly at that time, but there was still no trace of fear on her face.
He just stared at Li Danqing coldly.
"You...you too."
"No...you are better than the old!"
"Your father died in Ji Qi's hands. You don't want to avenge him, but you still have to defend him. If you can't do it, don't let anyone else do it!"
"Li Danqing! You are a dog that is better at wagging its tail than your father!"
The murderous aura in Li Danqing's eyebrows reached its peak at that moment. He almost couldn't help but strangle the beautiful girl in front of him to death. But at the last moment, he suddenly restrained the murderous aura around him and pinched her.
The hand on the neck was also released at that time.
Xun Yuyan's body suddenly fell to the ground. She covered her neck and breathed in the air.
"Ji Qi will pay the price for what he has done, but...it has to be my way!" Li Danqing glanced at the woman coldly, without any intention of saying another word to her, and turned around.
When he walked out of the door.
"You... just watch carefully, don't go looking for death!"
Xun Yuyan sat slumped on the ground, staring blankly at the other person's leaving figure, feeling a little aggrieved suddenly in her heart.
Regarding himself and the world, grievances have nothing to do with Li Danqing.
At this time, tears fell down his cheeks and soaked into his clothes.
