Even when facing the dagger flashing with sharp cold light, Li Shengyi's expression remained unchanged.
She didn't seem afraid.
After all, Su Jinrou had only one purpose in bringing her to Black Wind Village.
That is to kill her.
This discovery made Su Jinrou feel humiliated. She was so angry that she raised her hand to stab the dagger into her heart.
"Last time you said you had a dream that you were supposed to become the empress."
"Guess why you ended up like this?"
The soft and tender child's voice sounded again in the woodshed. Li Shengyi stared at the person in front of him without blinking, with a creepy smile on his face.
Her words caused the dagger in Su Jinrou's hand to stop in mid-air.
What Li Shengyi said was what she had always wanted to know.
Why did she dream of becoming an empress? Why were all the schemes she and Chu Huaifeng set up broken in the end?
She had never told anyone else about the dream except Li Shengyi.
But when she told Li Shengyi about the dream, she had already been ignored by Chu Hong. Everything that happened seemed to be under her control, but in fact, they were all resolved.
Why on earth?!
Su Jinrou lowered her eyes to look at Li Shengyi, who was sitting in the haystack in front of her. She opened her red lips and asked, "Is it... you?"
"It's me. As I just said, I'm already eighteen. How do I know all your plans? Because you're just a character in a storybook."
"And I am the one who reads the storybook, so I know everything."
She raised her red, frozen finger and pointed it at the tip of her nose. She grinned at the person in front of her, "I've told you everything. Do you believe me?"
"...Nonsense, nonsense! How could I possibly be a character in a storybook? I'm destined to become the first empress of the Great Chu!"
A sharp female voice broke through the roof of the woodshed and soared into the sky.
Li Shengyi looked at the mad woman in front of him and said with a sigh, "So this is why you have ended up like this. You are too confident and arrogant."
Unlike her father and the others, they believe whatever she says.
Thinking of this, she glanced outside the woodshed.
When she saw the familiar figure appearing outside the woodshed, her little face did not show any joy.
It's too early. Now is not the best time to take action.
Perhaps she was unable to hide her frown in time, Su Jinrou also followed her gaze and looked outside the woodshed.
Seeing Shen Wangchen fighting with the bandits outside the woodshed, she turned around again and looked at Li Shengyi with a hint of gloom in her eyes.
"I was wondering how dare you talk nonsense to me. It turns out reinforcements are coming."
"But it seems your reinforcements are a little scarce. Why didn't your father and the others come?"
"It would have been better if he hadn't come. Qin Songmo has ruined my plans time and time again, leading me to this situation. So I'll repay him with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and let him also have a taste of 'loss'!"
The moment the dagger flashed with cold light stabbed towards Li Shengyi, the latter heard Shen Wangchen's shouting outside the woodshed.
"Shengyi, be careful!"
She turned around and saw the dagger coming straight towards her. In that instant, she quickly threw the hay in her arms at the other party.
However, no matter how fast she moved, she could not avoid the dagger from scratching her sleeve.
"This is the brocade I picked specially for my grandmother to wear!"
Such fine material was scratched. Li Shengyi took two steps back and moved his frozen hands and feet.
She raised her hand and touched the tip of her nose. The cold touch was even colder than her fingertips.
Knowing that she would definitely catch a cold this time, she frowned when she thought of the scene where her father asked her to take medicine.
"Concubine Su, are you sure you want to fight me?"
"Do you know who killed the Second Prince?"
Even without the black iron dagger in her hand, Li Shengyi's little face still had that calm look, as if she had known from the beginning that she was sure to win this life-and-death fight with Su Jinrou.
Su Jinrou, who was hit on the head with hay, was still furious. When she heard the ignorant and fearless voice of the child, she curled the corners of her lips.
Not caring about her messed up hair, she tightly grasped the dagger in her hand and said, "Li Shengyi, I want you to die!"
After Su Jinrou finished speaking, she stabbed Li Shengyi in front of her with the dagger regardless of anything.
She had never practiced martial arts and didn't know how to strike the most deadly blow. Now all she could think about was
——Kill Li Shengyi.
With her lips pursed into a straight line, Su Jinrou, with bloodshot eyes, kept chasing away the petite figure in the woodshed.
During this time, the petite figure would turn around and kick her twice, which undoubtedly made the woman even more angry.
"Someone, help me hold her down!"
The second in command and the bandits are fighting a desperate battle with Shen Wangchen.
The bandits had some martial arts skills, but they had not received any formal training.
At first they couldn't even get close to each other, and many brothers were injured.
The white snow was covered with messy footprints at some point, and drops of bright red blood burned through the snow, leaving only a series of dark red pits in the snow.
It was not until Shen Wangchen's strength began to wear out that the second in command and his group finally found a gap.
The long knife chopped off the man's shoulder blade, and blood splattered on the snow like ink.
Shen Wangchen, who was attacked from the back, almost lost his grip on the sword. He leaned forward suddenly and almost fell into the snow.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Su Jinrou's sharp cry coming from the direction of the woodshed.
He caught a glimpse of bandits running towards the woodshed. He gritted his teeth, kicked the second in command who was coming towards him with a knife, and walked towards the woodshed at full speed.
The woodshed was small, and in just a few moments, Li Shengyi, who was as slippery as a loach in front of Su Jinrou, was caught by the bandits.
After being caught, she didn't make any noise or fuss. She kept a stern face and watched Su Jinrou approaching her with cold eyes.
"Li Shengyi, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for knowing too much. You're wrong. I understand the rules of this world. As long as I'm ruthless enough, I can uh..."
The long sword pierced his heart.
Su Jinrou widened her eyes in disbelief and lowered her head to look at her heart.
He saw the long sword clearly stuck in his heart, and the hilt was still shaking.
Blood kept gushing out of her heart as if it were free. She raised her hand and touched her clothes that were stained with blood.
After an unknown amount of time, she raised her head and looked at the man who came to the door of the woodshed.
The corners of her lips moved slightly, and after a long while, she finally heard her voice coming out of her throat, "Why, why..."
In her dream, in order to get her, Shen Wangchen did not hesitate to fall out with Qin Songmo and others, and finally turned to Buddhism with his love for her.
This was different from what she had dreamed of. Even if Shen Wangchen would not join the Buddhist sect for her, how could he draw his sword against her?
Facing Su Jinrou's questioning, Shen Wangchen didn't even look at her.
He kicked the bandit who was holding Li Shengyi tightly. Hearing the latter's cry of pain, he rushed forward and pulled the petite figure into his arms.
