Chapter 144 If You Punish Him, You Can't Punish Me
The air seemed to be frozen, without even the slightest fluctuation.
The gloom in the corners of He Yanli's eyes was so suffocating that it made people feel breathless. But the next moment, his expression was very calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Whether Qiao Wanyan touched the dog or what she thought of it was none of his business.
But this vile mad dog had offended him so much that it was necessary for him to see some facts.
"People don't die, but there are thousands of ways in this world to live a life worse than death. I am in a good mood today, so I will grant you castration and nose cutting."
Qiao Wanyan didn't say a word, and He Yanli was very satisfied with her reaction.
This proves that Lu Jinye has no status in her heart and can be abandoned at any time.
"Don't worry, you won't die. Don't worry that the mother-child Gu will break out and endanger Qiao Wanyan's life."
He Yanli looked at Lu Jinye with a hint of indifference. Even looking at such a lowly thing for even a second longer would be a disgrace to his eyes.
Lu Jinye did not look at He Yanli, but just looked at Qiao Wanyan's profile, and never waited for her to look back.
Qiao Wanyan was silent for a long time, and whispered: "Then if the prince punishes Lu Jinye, will he not punish me?"
Lu Jinye: “….”
As expected.
He Yanli narrowed his eyes, "Of course. Although you slapped me, I am in a good mood and want to reward you."
He held Qiao Wanyan's hand and pulled her away, "Shall I show you something interesting?"
Lu Jinye looked at the seven or eight people in front of him who were blocking his way, and drew out the long sword from his waist with one hand.
Under the moonlight, the sword emitted an eerie glow.
He Yanli walked so fast that Qiao Wanyan almost had to jog to keep up. "Your Majesty, I can't keep up. Where are you taking me?"
He Yanli didn't say anything, but slowed down his pace.
Under the cover of night, no one noticed the two men hiding behind a rockery.
Although there are many people on the riverside, there are only a few people here. It has nothing to do with other things, just because the water flow is slow here, and the lanterns released are difficult to float far.
In addition, people tend to follow the herd mentality. Seeing that there are few people and it is dark here, naturally fewer people come here.
But not far away, Qiao Wanyan saw two familiar figures.
Qiao Yihuan was holding a prayer lantern in both hands, and Xiaoying was using a tinderbox to light the sheep fat candle inside.
The prayer lantern, which had been completely dark just now, suddenly emitted a warm glow, which illuminated Qiao Yihuan's gentle face through the thin lampshade.
"Miss, although this prayer lantern is not as good as the one made of thin rice paper, it is still very beautiful after your painting!"
A hint of disappointment flashed across Qiao Yihuan's eyes. "But it's a pity that I'm the only one watching."
She let out a long breath, closed her eyes and made a wish: "I wish to spend the rest of my life in good health and pray that Brother Zhiyu will be as constant as the moon and as rising as the sun. May the future be bright, peaceful and joyful, and that he will become the happiest person in Dayu."
A pair of footsteps stopped in front of her. Qiao Yihuan slowly opened her eyes and was startled when she saw He Zhiyu, "Your Highness?"
The glow of the prayer lantern was reflected in his pupils. He Zhiyu looked at her with a gentle gaze, "Why do you wish me good health with your own? Your health is also important."
Qiao Yihuan was a little surprised and delighted, "Why is Your Highness here? I specially found a quiet place, just to pray for Your Highness quietly."
He Zhiyu raised one eyebrow slightly, "Didn't you ask me to come here?"
Qiao Yihuan shook her head, her expression full of confusion, "I didn't come to see you, didn't I?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiaoying, and Xiaoying immediately apologized, "Miss, please forgive me. It was me, it was me who felt that it was too lonely for you to come and release the prayer lanterns alone, so I went to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the name of His Highness."
Xiaoying knelt on the ground, "Miss, please punish me. I have overstepped my bounds."
"How could you do this?" Qiao Yihuan was angry and anxious, pointing at her helplessly.
He Zhiyu said: "It's okay. But I seem to smell a scent of blood."
Qiao Yihuan's face changed slightly, and he said vaguely: "Your Highness may have smelled it wrongly. How could there be a smell of blood here?"
He Zhiyu has always had a good sense of smell, so such a strong smell of blood cannot be fake.
Xiaoying was silent for a moment, "Your Highness, it was actually my young lady who used her own blood to write blessings to Your Highness on the prayer lanterns, which gave off this blood energy."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qiao Yihuan scolded lightly, with an angry look on his face.
He Zhiyu looked at the prayer lantern in her hand, and it was indeed reddish-brown in color with blood.
"How could you..." It was as if a huge rock suddenly fell into He Zhiyu's calm heart, and the water splashed everywhere and could not calm down for a long time.
"Yihuan, why do you have to do this to me?"
Qiao Yihuan bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes. "I am just an insignificant person, but I also want to do something for Your Highness. This is the only thing I can do. I just hope that Your Highness can be safe, happy, and get what he wants. As long as Your Highness is well, I don't care."
He Zhiyu knew what kind of woman Yihuan was. She gave without asking for anything in return and she had always been such a kind-hearted person.
Qiao Yihuan added: "During the Flower Festival, many people will pray for the well-being of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, but I just want to pray that He Zhiyu can be safe and sound."
As soon as she finished speaking, she added, "Your Highness, please forgive me. It was disrespectful of Yihuan to call you by your name."
He Zhiyu couldn't calm down for a long time.
"You don't have to do this. You want me to be well, and I just want you to be well."
Qiao Yihuan raised her eyes to look at him, with the corners of her mouth raised like a crescent moon, with a bit of shyness, "Then Your Highness, can you release this prayer lantern with me?"
Behind the rockery, He Yanli stood behind Qiao Wanyan, leaning on the mountain wall with one hand and looking at the scene in the distance.
He joked, "Love between a man and a woman is really beautiful. What do you think?"
Qiao Wanyan's expression was calm, "I don't think so."
Whenever he saw the prince and Qiao Yihuan together in the past, the prince's eyes always looked at Qiao Yihuan with undisguised joy and love.
Whenever he looked at Qiao Yihuan, the prince's face was always filled with tenderness and warmth from the bottom of his heart, and he could no longer see anyone else in his eyes except her.
That was a scene she could only see with her father and mother.
But now, why does He Zhiyu no longer look as loving as before?
Still gentle, but without soul.
Qiao Wanyan looked up at the vast sky, with a mocking arc on the corner of her mouth.
Destiny can be changed.
It’s just that He Zhiyu is a little more difficult to deal with than Lu Jinye and others.
She would set her sights on whoever was the crown prince. Even if He Yanli succeeded in his rebellion in the storybook that she had not finished reading in the future, and really killed He Zhiyu, the male protagonist of Tiandao, as a supporting character, she would not regret it.
The position of queen still belongs to her.
But the probability of He Yanli succeeding is not high.
Liu Yanran had said before that He Zhiyu was destined to become the emperor.
