balance?
What is that?
That's something only waste people need.
Lu Ziyan thought back to the day when he forced the emperor to abdicate in his previous life. His father, who was known as a benevolent monarch, kept saying, "An emperor, especially an emperor who is entrusted with the mission of heaven to revive the dynasty, cannot have weaknesses."
Therefore, the old emperor acquiesced that his son Wanwan was poisoned to death.
He thought he could cultivate a ruler destined for the dynasty who could save the dynasty from collapse and extend the life of the Khan for another hundred years.
But he didn't know that he had released a madman.
A complete lunatic.
…………
At Dayang Lake in Hezhou, the evening glow fills the sky, spreading over the lake and rippling on the water, creating a riot of colour and beauty.
A huge two-story ship slowly floated on the water. Xie Wan Ning stood on the second-floor window sill, gazing at the crystal clear lake, which was calm.
There were two knocks on the door, and a maid's voice came from outside, "Thank you, Miss. It's time for dinner."
Having said that, he pushed the door open and walked in without waiting for Xie Wan Ning to say anything.
Seeing that she was standing in front of the window, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please change your clothes and have dinner, young lady."
Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips and looked at the clothes in the maid's hands.
After being knocked unconscious that day, she woke up on this houseboat. Except for meals, she was not allowed to leave the room. The window was blocked with two pieces of wood, leaving not enough space for her to jump down.
Even the four walls of the room were made of wood. There were no teacups, needles, or sharp objects. She had even been poisoned by a muscle softening powder, so her strength did not affect her daily walking and eating. However, her masseter muscles were so weak that she could only eat soft and easy-to-digest food, and she couldn't find a way to bite her tongue to commit suicide.
It was not until she fell into such a powerless situation that she realized how ridiculous her threats to Lu Ziyan that day were.
There is no need to break her jaw or sever her tendons in her hands and feet to stop her from committing suicide. A bottle of tendon softening powder will be enough.
Maybe there are other ways. People like them who play power games have a lot of ways to make people want to die.
However, Lu Ziyan was reluctant to use it on her, so he was threatened by her.
Her casual remark about wanting to commit suicide made him panic-stricken and he retreated in fear.
But the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty didn't care about all this. He used a muscle softening powder on her and came to sit in her room every day. His words and actions were polite, but they were a single man and a single woman in the same room for a long time, a total of nearly half a month, and this happened every day.
When eating, she should be asked to come downstairs to accompany you.
Every time I go out, I prepare a new set of clothes for her.
Xie Wan Ning picked up the smoke-colored flowing gauze dress and took a look at it. The neckline was not the cross-neck commonly seen among the Khans, but a chest-length tube top design. The fabric was thin and light, smooth and comfortable to the touch, and it was embroidered with large peonies, which were extremely gorgeous.
This is the clothes worn by women in the Jin Dynasty.
In fact, look at this revealing outfit, maybe it was worn by dancers from the Jin Dynasty?
Xie Wan Ning took a look and was about to throw it on the ground like she did every day before, but she heard the maid say, "The prince has ordered that the young lady change her clothes."
As she spoke, the maid, who had always been respectful, raised her head slightly and said, "Please don't embarrass me, young lady."
Seeing that the maidservant looked like she was going to help her change her clothes, she had to be forced to wear this dress.
Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips slightly, "What if I don't wear it?"
"The prince has ordered that you must wear this dress today even if you don't want to," the maid said softly, "The prince has also ordered that the autumn wind is cold, so you can put on a cloak outside."
Is this an attempt to gradually break her bottom line, starting with the skimpy dance skirt and then progressing step by step?
Or is it that the closer he gets to the Northern Frontier, the more he dislikes her, Lu Ziyan's sweetheart, and is unwilling to treat her with courtesy anymore, and wants to humiliate her to relieve his hatred for Lu Ziyan?
Xie Wan Ning didn't move for a long time.
The maid asked, "Young lady, do you want me to help you change your clothes?"
Anyone who could follow the prince into deep territory alone, even if she was a maid, was a maid with martial arts skills.
This dance dress can either be worn by herself or by the maid.
…………
A moment later, Xie Wan Ning, wearing a bright red cloak, walked downstairs.
In the hall downstairs, Jin Wuji sat at the head of the dining table. Seeing the girl slowly coming downstairs, his eyes lit up slightly and he said, "We are still missing a set of hair accessories."
He was dressed in a green robe, with his hair tied up in a jade crown, sword-like brows and bright eyes, and his facial features were deeply chiseled. He looked handsome in a way that was different from the Khan's.
Xie Wan Ning glanced at him and said calmly, "Prince, do you dare to give me a hairpin?"
Since she woke up, she didn't even have a wooden hairpin in her hair. She had been tying her hair with silk these days. Her long black hair was tied low behind her head. She had no makeup on her face, and looked quite gentle.
It's like a beautiful rose with thorns becomes obedient.
Seeing her dress, Jin Wuji didn't care about the sting in her words. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that your Khan's daughter has a flexible waist and is good at singing and dancing. I wonder if Miss Xie would be willing to take off her cloak and let me see her beauty."
Xie Wan Ning smiled wryly and said, "I don't know how to be a dancer."
"You can learn if you don't know," Jin Wuji also smiled and said, "Young lady is very smart. You should study hard these days. One day, you will be able to show off your graceful figure in front of the generals of the two countries on the battlefield. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"I will teach you something," Xie Wan Ning's face darkened, and she said calmly, "The prince's methods are really bright and open, and he has brought the role of a woman to the fullest."
Jin Wuji didn't care about such ridicule. He laughed loudly, "Thank you for your compliment, young lady. Don't worry, you will be of great help when the two armies are fighting."
He and Lu Ziyan had not fought many times, but he had a deep understanding of each other.
He is a master in military operations, has a heart as hard as iron, and a strong hand. He has achieved extraordinary military achievements at a young age.
