Chapter 97 If I ask you to kill her, you kill...

Sang Ji faced more and more assassination attempts.

Hua Man also sent a message to Liu Jiao by carrier pigeon, plotting to escape.

Before leaving, Liu Jiao asked Sang Ji one last time:

"If I ask you to kill her, will you?"

Sang Ji still spoke the truth:

“Being a princess is my duty; I cannot castrate myself.”

He didn't want to lie to Liu Jiao, and he hoped that Liu Jiao could understand him.

After all, in his view, the two of them were going to spend their lives together in the future.

Liu Jiao didn't say anything more.

The next morning, I climbed out the window and met up with Hua Man.

"Walk."

"Go to the Li family. I need to find Li Du."

Before returning to the manor, Crescent Fox sat in an exquisite and magnificent carriage.

The carriage didn't look like a seat; it was more like a one-bedroom apartment.

Sang Ji saw her sit down and was about to leave.

“Sang Ji”.

Crescent Fox called out to him.

"You..." I couldn't say a word.

Sang Ji still held that familiar sword, yet he seemed like a stranger, bowing slightly and not even glancing at Crescent Fox.

“Your humble servant is no longer a guard, and there is a conflict between men and women, so it is truly inconvenient for me to stay any longer.”

"Respectfully seeing off the princess, may she have a safe journey."

Without pausing, he walked straight past the vehicle frame.

Crescent Fox gazed longingly at his retreating figure, her eyes filled with reluctance.

He went home in the opposite direction of the Crescent Fox carriage.

*

The court is in a state of panic, and Li Du's offensive is swift.

Crescent Fox is imprisoned in the princess's residence and is pleading with Li Du to release Sang Ji.

Li Du is nowhere to be found.

He will not listen to anyone's pleas.

There is no room for sentimentality in officialdom.

Until Liu Jiao knocked on his door.

"Lord Li, could you please spare Sang Ji?"

After Li Du put on the mask and opened the door for her, he heard this sentence.

"Are you so biased towards him?"

Liu Jiao: "There is a suspicion that I am siding with him. He has saved me many times and I want to use your influence to repay his kindness."

Li Du was so angry he laughed.

He slowly sat back down in the official chair inside the room and said, "Alright, let's see how far you can go."

Liu Jiao hesitated for a moment upon noticing his cold expression.

Then, they slowly approached.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and straddled his lap.

As she drew closer, her soft fragrance wafted over, reminding Li Du of the spring scenery he had encountered in the military camp.

He finally pushed him away in shock and anger, and shouted:

"You really went to this extent for him!"

"Get out!"

"Did you agree?"

"Walk."

Li Du remained silent.

Before Liu Jiao turned around, she suddenly said to him, who was wearing a mask, "Li Du, stop pretending, I know it's you."

"I know you wouldn't dare, you coward."

Li Du's breathing became erratic.

He gripped the handrail tightly, and as she closed the door, he advised her, "He's too much of a distraction for you; he doesn't deserve you."

Liu Jiao simply said, "Don't worry, he and I can't go back."

What she didn't say was that she hoped Li Du wouldn't take any risks.

She was selfish and wanted Li Du to let go of his hatred.

If Sang Ji dies, he will also be in danger and suspected.

She still wanted to see him; she didn't want him to die.

We've done everything we can; let's see what Li Du chooses.
