Chapter 25
Xuanshi Palace.
Huo Qubing went to arrest Liu Ling, but Liu Ju refused to leave, lingering there. His intentions were obvious. Emperor Wu of Han, knowing full well, refused to expose him. He had a small table brought to his side. He immersed himself in government affairs, while Liu Ju studied and practiced calligraphy beside him.
Liu Ju was restless. His large eyes darted around, occasionally glancing at Liu Che's desk, trying to decipher the contents of the bamboo slips. He was deeply curious about the Huainan conspiracy and Liu Ling's plans, as there were still many unknowns.
Sadly, I didn't see anything. Sigh. A bit disappointed.
Liu Che took in all his little movements, without even looking up, and simply said, "Focus."
Liu Ju's heart subconsciously trembled, and he immediately retracted his gaze and practiced calligraphy seriously, not daring to be rash again.
It's just like that, both pretentious and cowardly.
A smile flashed across Liu Che's eyes.
After Liu Ju finished practicing a piece of calligraphy, he took it and examined it, circling the poorly written parts with a red pen. He then took the opportunity to test him and nodded with satisfaction. "Good progress! It seems that although you've been busy lately, you haven't fallen behind in your studies. You're actually learning faster than before."
Liu Ju pouted and muttered quietly, "Who is the reason why I'm so busy? Who threw a pile of case files at me?"
Liu Che chuckled softly, thinking back to what he had said to the maid. It wasn't that he disliked her, but rather that he didn't want to add too many restrictions or constraints to his "liking." His intention was to test her, and now that the results were in, there was no need to embarrass the child.
Liu Che said, "The Huainan case cannot be handled by Zhang Tang alone. The Chief Inspector, the Left Inspector, and the Right Inspector are all important officials under him, and they all need to be busy.
"For now, just read through the case files. Once this matter is concluded, if you're interested, you can discuss a time with the Left Supervisor, or you can go directly to Zhang Tang."
To discuss it on your own means not to force him, but to follow his own wishes.
Liu Ju was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and shouted, "Long live my father!"
Liu Che raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of joking: "Now it's called Long Live the Emperor, but if I still let the Left Supervisor look for you every day, will it not be called Long Live the Emperor anymore?"
This is a fatal question, and the answer is obvious.
Liu Ju was very clever. Without the slightest hesitation, he said, "No, no. My father is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is only natural that he should live forever. What does this have to do with me?"
"I understand. The Left Supervisor is a high-ranking official with many responsibilities, yet Father still sent him to explain the criminal case files to me, showing his appreciation for me and his willingness to train me.
"This is a sign of my father's love for me. How could I be dissatisfied just because I sacrificed a little bit of my own fun time? Am I such an ungrateful and heartless person? Anyway, no matter what, I hope my father lives forever!"
Liu Che nodded and said, "Since you understand everything, why not let Zuo Jian continue as usual?"
Liu Ju: ...the smile disappeared.
You're being too clever.
"Father... Your Majesty, that..." Liu Ju's eyes darted around, racking his brains for words. "The Emperor's words are golden, and it's not easy to change them overnight. Your Majesty just told us to discuss the time ourselves, and now he's saying it's the same as before. Isn't that going back on his word?"
"Well, I'm not saying that Father is going back on his word. I... I'm just worried that this will affect Father's reputation. How about I discuss this with the Left Supervisor?"
Liu Che chuckled lightly and couldn't help laughing: "As you wish."
Liu Ju breathed a sigh of relief, then paused and reacted vaguely.
Damn, it seems like she was just teasing him. It almost drove him crazy.
Ahhh, adults are really annoying, they always bully children.
So angry!
At this moment, the eunuch came to report that Marquis Guanjun had brought Princess Huainan to report.
Liu Ju's frustration instantly vanished, his eyes brightening. It's here, it's finally here. It's worth all the time he's been waiting for.
Turning around, he met Liu Che's gaze. Seeing that Liu Che was about to speak, Liu Ju took the initiative to hug his arm and said, "Father, you can't drive me away. It's fine if you don't let me go with my cousin to arrest people, but you can't even keep me in the dark about what happens next.
"Anyway, the Huainan rebellion will soon be announced to the world, and Liu Ling's plan will be made public sooner or later. It won't hurt to let me hear it. After all, I am one of the parties involved, and I have made great contributions."
—Yes, yes, that's right. It's fine if the scene doesn't cut to Huo Qubing capturing Liu Ling, but let's hear the sequel. If there's another absurd cut, I'll be furious.
——The camera can only follow Liu Ju, which is really speechless. So Liu Ju can only work hard. Hurry up, act cute and naughty, and use all means to stay. We want to hear the follow-up!
Acting coquettishly, cutely and naughty?
Liu Ju's eyes immediately filled with tears, and he said aggrievedly, "Father, the accident between Madam Wang and me was most likely related to Liu Ling. I almost died, and I just want to know why. Is that not allowed?"
Liu Che looked at him without saying anything.
Liu Ju continued, shaking Liu Che's arm vigorously: "This is just a small request, and your Majesty agreed to it. If there is really something that is inconvenient for outsiders to know, I am not an outsider.
"And I'm very tight-lipped. Father didn't let me reveal any flaws in front of Caiqin before, and I did a good job, didn't I? Father!"
He stared eagerly, his eyes full of hope. But Liu Che remained silent, his eyes deep, his emotions unclear.
Liu Ju was at a loss. He didn't want to give up, but he was worried that continuing would anger Emperor Wu of Han, who was incredibly scary when he got angry. He decided to just forget it and find out later.
Seeing that he was about to back down, the barrage of comments became anxious.
"Don't retreat. What are you afraid of? You're afraid of nothing! At this time, Wei Zifu's position is stable and she hasn't fallen out of favor. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are at the peak of their powers. And let's talk about you. It took Liu Che over a decade to have a son like you. Even if he had another son, Liu Hong, it wouldn't have affected your position."
—Yes. Liu Ju's position was extremely high at that time. Not to mention the high infant mortality rate in ancient times, Liu Hong hadn't survived even at just a few months old. Even if he had, the history books don't show that Emperor Che loved him much. Moreover, what could Lady Wang do to compete with the Wei family?
—Hahaha, that's right. So, Liu Ju, just charge ahead, just go for it. Don't be a coward! Your father is a man who loves his children and hates their deaths. You hold a very secure place in his heart right now. So even if you go out and kill someone right now, believe it or not, no matter who you kill, your father will be able to find a hundred reasons why they deserve the death penalty.
Liu Ju: ???
He seemed to remember that when he asked his father to ride on his horse, the comments called him an ignorant child and said he didn't know how to live or die. How come now it has become okay to just kill anyone?
Tsk, you monsters behind the barrage, can you please unify your words first?
Oh, that's not right. Why should he consider the comments? What kind of nonsense is killing people at random? He's not crazy, why would he kill people?
Pooh.
Liu Ju curled his lips, but decided to try again. He grabbed Liu Che's arm and pleaded softly, "Father, please forgive me this time. I will definitely be good and will never cause any trouble for you."
It looked so pitiful that any stranger would feel sad at the sight of it.
Liu Che chuckled, patted his head and turned away.
Liu Ju: ...
What else does he not understand? Tease him again, tease him again, and even tease him again. This trick works well, doesn't it?
Adults are really annoying. When he grows up, he will return everything. Humph!
Liu Ju let out a muffled groan from the tip of his nose, his cheeks puffed up, and he looked extremely depressed.
Fortunately, Huo Qubing had already brought Liu Ling in and diverted his attention.
Liu Ling's hands were tied behind his back, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were wrinkled and torn, and he was covered in dust. His face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked down and out, and had lost his former radiant appearance.
But she remained calm and composed, neither humble nor overbearing, without any sign of a prisoner.
Liu Che was quite surprised: "My princess has truly impressed me. Even when facing a huge crisis, she remains calm."
Liu Ling remained calm and composed: "The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. This has been the case since ancient times. I chose this path. I expected victory, but I also expected failure.
"I'm willing to gamble on this, so I can afford to lose. I've already understood the situation, so why would I be so frightened? Besides, I've lost, so I've lost. You can kill me or chop me up, as you wish. But if you ask me to beg for mercy, there's no way I'll ever do that."
His tone was calm, yet his arrogance was evident.
Everyone understands the principle, but not every gambler can be so calm when the time comes.
Liu Che raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of admiration. He signaled to the attendant, "The trial hasn't begun, the guilt hasn't been determined, and the princess is still a member of the Liu royal family. Untie her and let her sit."
If a loser can have such an attitude, he, as a winner, should be even more magnanimous.
All the eunuchs and guards are in the palace, and there is a Marquis of Champion beside her. Is he still afraid of her?
Liu Ling did not refuse but accepted it calmly, and breathed a sigh of relief the moment he sat down.
She was seriously injured and had been feeling the pain and discomfort in her chest for a long time. However, she did not show it, forcing herself not to appear too embarrassed in front of the enemy.
Liu Che had already lowered his head to look at the bamboo slips in his hand, and pointed out the names of the people one by one: "Caiqin, Ayu, Linhe, Langui..."
Each of them was a spy in the palace, plus the likes of Zhang Cigong and Lei Bei.
Liu Che's voice was a bit cold: "You have been busy all these years in Chang'an. You are so capable. I underestimated you."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am not as good as you, am I not?" Liu Ling looked up at Liu Che, "If I am right, Cai Qin should have been exposed long ago.
"Your Majesty kept silent, and through her he learned how we transmitted information and all the spies planted in the palace.
"Your Majesty has been waiting for news from Huainan. You ostensibly sent Lieutenant Yin Hong, but he was just a cover.
"You used him to draw all of my and Huainan's attention away, forcing us to focus all our energy and resources on monitoring, guarding, and dealing with him. We thought we had victory guaranteed, and thus ignored the real danger hidden within.
"You've already sent spies to thoroughly investigate Huainan. This person might have even set out before Yin Hong. While the entire Huainan population awaited Yin Hong, this person had already hidden in Shouchun, the Huainan capital. I suspect he's the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Envoy's secret forces."
"No, perhaps it's not just him. Since you already knew something was wrong with Huainan, you wouldn't just send spies. You should have at least one general nearby to provide support so that any sudden changes in Huainan can be suppressed immediately. This also allows you to take action immediately once you have evidence and catch Huainan off guard."
Liu Che nodded: "My lady, you can also guess who this person is."
"Wei Qing is the Grand General, and Huo Qubing has just been named Marquis of Guanjun. These two are very popular and have gained a lot of attention. Sending them out of the capital would attract too much attention."
Liu Ling had just begun when Liu Che scoffed, "Huainan is just a small place, it doesn't need my general and champion marquis."
Liu Ling choked, but didn't know how to refute. He took a deep breath and continued, "Li Guangcheng doesn't know that Li Xi and others are all veterans, and they won't let me ignore them."
If these people left the capital, she would definitely notice. So Liu Che wanted to confuse her and make a plan before taking action. He would definitely send someone with combat experience, but not conspicuous enough for her to take seriously.
Liu Ling frowned and went through the names of the Han generals in his mind, then suddenly paused: "Li Ju, Gongsun Ao."
Gongsun Ao's abilities were average; had he not been close friends with Wei Qing, supported by him throughout his campaigns, and fought alongside him, he might not have achieved the title of nobility. He relied too heavily on Wei Qing, and therefore he was not very appealing to her.
Li Ju did have some abilities, but he was not recognized by Li Guang and Cheng before him, and by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing after him, and in between were Gongsun He, Li Xi and others.
There were too many Han generals, and he was stuck among them. His ability was not bad, but he was not a "genius"; his status was not low, but he was not outstanding. He could only be in the middle, neither high nor low, so he was easily overlooked.
But even if they were average, even if they were in the middle, these two were not mediocre people. They had fought against the Huns seriously, risked their lives on the battlefield, and fought bloody battles countless times.
They were sent to lead the troops, bringing a large force to bear, while Huainan was completely defenseless...
Liu Ling felt a chill in her heart, as if she had already seen Huainan's fate. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Your Majesty didn't imprison me immediately, but instead had the Marquis of Guanjun bring me to the Xuanshi Palace. I'm sure there's something you still don't understand that you want to ask me. Ask whatever you want. Liu Ling will tell you everything I know."
The defeat and capture were inevitable, and there was no need to hide it. So Liu Ling was very straightforward in this regard.
Liu Che glanced at the bamboo slips and said, "Let's start with how you set up a scheme to kill your husband. According to spies, your husband's surname is Yu, and he is quite prestigious in Huainan.
"When asked about his past, everyone says he was a womanizer, with women everywhere. But when asked in detail about his concubines, no one can answer. The claim that he was a womanizer and had many concubines, and that he was using this to insult you, is probably not true."
Liu Ling nodded. "Your Majesty is wise. He wouldn't have the guts to insult me with his concubines and maids. I had another reason for setting him up. He's a good man, and he's been quite good to me. He's a rare gentle man among the many men I've met in my life, and he's very considerate."
"Many people look at me because of my identity as the Princess of Huainan, but he is different. His eyes are very pure, making me feel that he is looking at me only because of me, and has nothing to do with the Princess. I did like him. I really liked him."
Having said that, Liu Ling felt complicated and looked melancholy.
Yu Lang was one of the few people in her life to whom she had ever given her true heart, but he had become a thing of the past forever.
She paused before continuing, "Unfortunately, he discovered Huainan's secret. He sensed Huainan's rebellion. He disagreed and tried to persuade him several times. He persuaded me, and persuaded my father. I also tried to persuade him, to persuade him to join us and assist us, but he refused. Neither of us could convince the other."
Liu Ling clenched his fists. Why didn't he understand her?
It would be fine if she had always been the ignorant and naive girl in her youth. At most, she was resentful that Liu Qian, despite his mediocre talent, was able to become the Prince of Huainan.
But she wasn't like that. She was growing up. As she grew older, she understood more, knew more. She knew Empress Lü, Empress Dowager Dou, and even later, when she accompanied her father to the capital, she saw Guantao and Pingyang.
She was unwilling to be a small princess all her life, trapped in the tiny place of Huainan.
She wanted to fly higher and farther. But Yu Lang was the opposite of her. He preferred a comfortable life and was content with a simple life. This destined them to drift further and further apart.
Liu Ling closed his eyes and opened them again, his fists slowly loosening: “Huainan’s conspiracy is getting bigger and bigger, Yu Lang is getting more and more anxious, and his words are quite fierce.
"My father said we can't leave this scourge behind. If I want to go to the capital, I need a reason. Besides, there are more talented people in the capital for me to choose from. If Yu Lang can't help me, I can find a greater helper for Huainan.
Liu Che understood: "So you set up a plan to kill him, and even accused him of lust. He didn't act out of desperation, but because he sensed your plot and was forced into a desperate situation, he was trying to protect himself."
Liu Ling agreed.
Liu Ju was stunned. The comments on the forum were even more shocked than him.
——Damn it, my ex-husband was wronged.
——Knowing that Huainan was planning a rebellion, he didn't report it immediately, but instead tried to persuade her. This shows that the ex-husband really loved Liu Ling, cared about her, and wanted to pull her back from the brink. In the end, because of his soft-heartedness, he was killed, not only died but also carried a stigma. Liu Ling was so cruel!
——My ex-husband is comparable to Dou E. Marrying Liu Ling was simply unlucky.
Liu Ju nodded. Although he didn't know who Dou E was, he understood the rest of the words and expressed his complete agreement.
This woman Liu Ling has no heart!
Liu Che continued to ask, "The incident between Ju'er and Madam Wang was also your doing, right? I can't think of a reason why you would do that. The only possibility is that your original plan was not like this, but something unexpected happened along the way."
Liu Ling didn't shy away from speaking frankly, "That's right. At that time, news came that Lei had defected. He knew too much about Huainan. If he had been allowed to report it to the capital, Huainan would have been finished, and I, who was in the capital, would have been the first to be liquidated."
Liu Che's eyes flashed: "So you want to escape?"
"Yes. But I know that His Majesty has hidden an embroidered robe envoy beside me. If I want to leave the capital without being discovered, I must create an opportunity. According to our original plan, we wanted Caiqin to lead His Majesty to a secluded place, knock him unconscious and take him out of the palace.
"At that time, Madam Wang had not yet given birth. Even if the doctor said it was 80% certain that it was a prince, it was only 80%. Furthermore, childbirth for women is very dangerous. Even if it was a prince, it would have to be born safely. Therefore, His Highness is still His Majesty's only child."
Liu Che immediately understood the whole situation: "Since Ju'er is missing, I will definitely take major action and mobilize all my manpower to find Ju'er at all costs. This matter will definitely attract everyone's attention, including the Embroidered Uniform Envoy.
"You can have someone take Ju'er and stage a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and lure everyone away, even the Embroidered Uniform Envoy. With the help of Zhang Cigong, the commander of the Northern Army, it will not be difficult for you to leave the capital."
Liu Che took a deep breath and asked, "How did this go wrong?"
"His Highness was alert and became suspicious when he saw Caiqin was leading him in a secluded direction. Caiqin was afraid that he would not cooperate, so she wanted to knock him out in advance just in case, and she deliberately fell behind by a few steps.
"Fubao was so clever! As soon as Caiqin took out the handkerchief soaked in medicine, his dog nose smelled something wrong and he pounced on Caiqin, then ran in the opposite direction, yelling at the top of his lungs.
Caiqin went after them, but she saw Madam Wang and her maid passing by. Coincidentally, they bumped into each other, and the situation suddenly changed. She didn't dare show herself, so she could only leave secretly and take the opportunity to send me a letter.
“She had already prepared to commit suicide if she was exposed before being arrested, but Her Highness had lost all memory due to a head injury.
"Caiqin is a spy I finally planted beside the princess, and she's able to gather a lot of information. On the other hand, Ah Yu hasn't been appreciated by any of the nobles in the palace, so her position isn't as important.
"I can only give her up first, save Caiqin, and save all of us."
Liu Che's face became uglier as he listened, and he subconsciously grabbed Liu Ju's hand.
Liu Ju was stunned for a moment, then realized that his father was worried about him and was afraid of the consequences. He clenched his small hands back and wrapped Liu Che's palms tightly.
Liu Che noticed his movements, his heart slowly calmed down, and he calmed down his emotions and continued, "A key question is how are you going to get Juer out of the palace."
It was not easy to take a living person out of the palace, but after asking, Liu Che suddenly remembered something and his eyes widened: "Yan Zhu!"
"Yes, it is Yan Zhu, the attendant beside His Majesty."
Liu Ling admitted it directly, and Liu Che's face became even uglier.
Liu Ling, however, was unconcerned and continued, "Yan Zhu is skilled in poetry and prose. Your Majesty greatly appreciates him and often commissions him to write. Before the operation, I indirectly persuaded Yan Zhu to ask Your Majesty for a position."
Liu Che knew very well what this mission was.
The palace housed the Shiqu and Tianlu Pavilions, which housed the imperial library. The numerous scrolls contained some, some of which were very old and poorly maintained, resulting in some damage. Yan Zhu requested permission to organize the collection and repair any damaged books, and he agreed.
Because the project was so extensive, Yan Zhu would sometimes take some books home to repair them. If they couldn't be repaired, he would make new volumes to fill the library. When the collection became too extensive, he would borrow boxes and carriages.
"I originally planned to have Caiqin capture the Grand Prince and hand him over to Yan Zhu, who would hide him in a box and cover it with scrolls. The Grand Prince is young, so this approach is feasible.
"Of course, this method won't keep the secret for long. But once it succeeds, everyone involved in the palace will commit suicide. I, Yan Zhu, don't intend to let him live. As long as these people are dead, we can delay your investigation, and we will have time to plan the next step."
Huo Qubing was puzzled. He looked at Liu Che and said, "Your Highness and Madam Wang were in trouble at the same time. Your Majesty sent Zhang Tang to handle the matter. Didn't you investigate the people who entered and left the palace that day?"
Before Liu Che could say anything, Liu Ling answered for him, "Of course I wouldn't investigate. But I didn't tell Yan Zhu about this plan ahead of time, so Yan Zhu knew nothing about it. Then something went wrong along the way, causing the plan to fail. It never got to this point, so naturally, you didn't find anything because nothing happened."
Huo Qubing's expression was complicated. "Are you so sure that if you approach Yan Zhu at this juncture, he will agree to your request? Is he also your loyal servant?"
"It doesn't count."
Huo Qubing frowned, what does that mean.
"He's interested in me, but he's not qualified to be my lover."
Huo Qubing: ...
The corners of his mouth twitched. "If General Zhang wasn't in command of the Northern Army, wouldn't he be qualified?"
Liu Ling didn't answer, but looked as if it was a matter of course.
Huo Qubing: ...nothing to say.
At this moment, he really wanted to ask Zhang Cigong and Yan Zhu how they felt about parting. It must have been "wonderful."
Liu Ling chuckled, "He accepted many generous gifts from Huainan and helped me a lot. Since I have leverage over Zhang Cigong, how can I not have leverage over him?"
"What's more, I've already calculated the personalities of those I've roped into such an important project. They'll definitely agree, and they have no choice but to agree."
Liu Che's face turned pale. Yan Zhu and Zhang Cigong were both close or important people to him.
Huo Qubing, enjoying the excitement, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Zhang Cigong, Yan Zhu, and Lei Bei. You used your tenderness to seduce them and then used your power to hold them hostage. I'm curious, besides these three, who else is there?"
"That's too much." Liu Ling raised his lips, his eyes flickering. "Does Champion Marquis really want to know? I'm afraid you'll regret asking after you find out."
Huo Qubing:?
Without waiting for his response, Liu Ling continued, "Don't be as proud as me. I am the Princess of Huainan, a member of the royal family, and I am also very beautiful. There are countless people who are interested in me. If I really want to list them, I am afraid it will take a whole day and a whole night to finish.
"But there aren't many I'd bother looking at for too long. But there's one very special one I really like. We've made love with her many times, and I still can't get enough of her. I can't forget her."
At this point, she paused, her brows glancing at Marquis Guanjun, her lips curled up, "Marquis Guanjun is very familiar with this man, he is General Wei Qing!"
Huo Qubing's expression of watching the fun disappeared instantly, and he was furious: "Nonsense! How could my uncle have anything to do with you? Do you think you can just say a few words and accuse others of anything?"
Liu Ling continued to smile: "Look, it's you who asked, and it's you who said it and didn't want to accept it. It's obviously the truth, why don't you like to hear it?"
Huo Qubing gnashed his teeth and said, "You think we will believe it?"
Liu Ling raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
The more this happened, the more it sowed seeds of doubt in people's hearts. Huo Qubing was so angry that he drew his sword and wanted to chop her, but unexpectedly, a weak voice rang out beside him: "I believe it."
Huo Qubing stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, his head full of questions.
No, little cousin. What do you believe? Are you too young to understand what Liu Ling said? How can you believe that your uncle and her are not clear? Figure out whose side you are on!
Liu Che was also very confused.
Liu Ju spoke again: "I believe you like your uncle. After all, the Queen Mother is beautiful, your aunt is beautiful, and your cousin born to your aunt is also beautiful."
Huo Qubing: ???
This has nothing to do with my appearance!
Liu Ju continued calmly, "Most of the Wei family are beautiful, and my uncle is no exception. Everyone loves beauty. My father likes good-looking people, and I like them too. After all, good looks are pleasing to the eye, right? It's human nature."
Liu Che: ...Just say it yourself, no need to bring me along!
"What's more, my uncle is not only handsome, but also capable, talented, handsome, and has a good personality. How many men like him can be found in the world?
"Many girls like him. You're a girl too, so isn't it normal for you to like him too? But I don't believe my uncle would be attracted to you.
"Mr. Zhang Ci is not as handsome as my uncle, not as capable as my uncle, not as skilled as my uncle, and certainly not as influential as my uncle. If you really have that kind of relationship with my uncle, why would you still be so complicit with Mr. Zhang Ci?
"The reason you're trying to win over Mr. Zhang is because you can't get your uncle. Don't worry, your uncle won't pay any attention to you!"
Liu Ling:!!!
Liu Che & Huo Qubing: ...
Think about it, this logic is correct. Wei Qing and Zhang Cigong are like fireflies compared to the sun and the moon. Whoever possesses the brilliance of the sun and the moon will still cling to the firefly.
Wei Qing, a great general, was worth countless Zhang Cigongs. If there was a man as good as Wei Qing, such a useful helper, with Liu Ling's arrogance, he probably wouldn't even look at Zhang Cigong.
—Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Well done to Liu Ju. This kid has some serious fighting ability. If he doesn't make a sound, he'll be a sensation. He knocked him out with just a few words.
Not only did he knock Liu Ling out, he also stabbed him in the heart and kicked him in the lungs. Hit the nail on the head. Awesome.
Let her bite my idol. Wei Qing was always cautious and prudent. Apart from anything else, Liu Ling's status as a princess of a feudal lord was too sensitive. Unless Emperor Wu of Han gave her permission, Wei Qing would never have even glanced at her, let alone had an affair with her. What did he think of my idol?
——It is more credible to say that she had an affair with Liu Che than to say that she had an affair with Wei Qing.
Liu Ju agreed deeply and nodded silently: "You said it has something to do with my uncle, but you might as well say it has something to do with my father!"
Huo Qubing & Liu Che:!!!
His eyes widened, and he was so shocked that he was stunned.
Liu Ling...Liu Ling was even more confused.
Liu Ju didn't seem to notice how shocking his words were. He stared at Liu Ling curiously and said, "Tell me the truth, have you also seduced my father? After all, I think if my father is interested in you, you can use this opportunity to gain his favor and give birth to a prince, which will help him ascend to the throne.
"Doesn't this path seem easier than rebellion? Regarding rebellion, my father has so many powerful soldiers and generals at his command. Does Huainan have any? Probably not. If you did, there would be no need for you, a princess, to resort to such means to collude with my father's men.
"So why don't you take the easy way out? Don't you want to leave? No. It must be that my father doesn't look down on you. You can't leave.
"Look, those who are better looking, capable, talented, and high-ranking all look down on you. The ones who get you... well... hey, it's really hard for you."
Huo Qubing & Liu Che:!!!
Surprised and speechless.
—Hahahaha, I can't stop laughing. A brace, a second knockout. Liu Ju knows how to pierce the heart.
—This is really hard for you. I like the sarcasm of this statement!
Not only that, but the "hmm" and "ah" are also very poetic. It seems like nothing is said, yet it seems to say everything. Liu Ju not only understands the heart-piercing and the theory of yin and yang, he also understands the art of language and the use of blank space!
Liu Ju: ???
He can understand the heart-breaking and sarcastic remarks, but what about the Yin-Yang theory, the art of language, and blank space?
What's going on? Didn't he just say a few words?
Liu Ju was very confused. Looking at the comments, he felt like he had done something big.
Alas, they are indeed a group of monsters and demons. Their thoughts and ideas are different from ours. They are so difficult to understand.
Liu Ju sighed, and at the same time, there was a "puff" sound from below. Liu Ling spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.
Barrage:!!!
Huo Qubing & Liu Che:!!!
The two men looked at Liu Ju with increasingly subtle eyes.
Liu Ju: ...He said Liu Ling vomited blood?
No, that's impossible. It's just a few words, what's the big deal? She must be already injured and can't bear it!
When Liu Ju realized what was happening, he was furious.
Liu Ling is truly sinister and vicious. He was injured, so why would he faint at this moment when he was injured? He must have done it on purpose.
It’s definitely a scam!
