Suddenly, Liu Tan grinned at Jiang Huijun with a ferocious expression and said, "Jiang Huijun, don't make yourself sound so noble!"
When you married me, wasn't it just to consolidate the power of your Jiang family?
Your current protection of Hong'er is nothing more than a means to secure your future position as a Dowager Consort.
There's no longer any affection between us as husband and wife!
"Yes! There's no affection left between us!"
After hearing Liu Tan's words, Jiang Huijun's tears finally flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Her face was filled with resolute hatred. "It all started when you dragged that Turkic woman into your backyard for your own selfish desires!"
It all started when you tacitly allowed Chief Secretary Wang to withhold Hong'er's allowance!
It all started with your suppression of my Chiang family in the military!
Liu Tan, you've worn away every last bit of our friendship long ago!
Liu Tan and Jiang Huijun were so engrossed in their argument that they forgot the time.
By this time, it had already darkened, and directly above where the two were facing off, an inconspicuous shadow on the rooftop shifted slightly.
Li Shiyue, like the most experienced hunter, perfectly concealed herself on the rooftop, her breath almost blending into the passing wind.
Her eyes were peering through the mask at a crack she had deliberately pried open in the roof tiles, her gaze coldly fixed on the storm she had instigated.
Who is Li Shiyue?
She has been in Jian'an for almost five years!
Jian'an was already completely under her control.
So, how could Li Shiyue not know that Liu Tan sent Ma San and his men in disguise to Jian'an to investigate her?
Even though Liu Tan had entrusted Ma San with his hidden spies and backup plans in Jian'an, and Ma San was a very cautious man, Li Shiyue received a message from the sentries at the post station outside the city the moment Ma San and his men entered Jian'an!
Before Ma San and his group even entered Jian'an City, they must have been under Li Shiyue's surveillance!
Besides, three months ago, Li Shiyue used a golden eagle to poison Liu Tan in Jinzhou. How could she not pay attention to news from Jinzhou afterward?
Li Shiyue had always arranged for people to keep a close eye on Jinzhou, especially the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and Liu Tan, which were the top priorities for the spies!
So, after confirming that Ma San had not found out anything from Jian'an, Li Shiyue gave Sun Xiaoliu and the others some instructions and once again used the mechanical golden eagle to speed to Jinzhou.
It was quite a coincidence that Li Shiyue came to the Prince's Mansion this time, actually to see Liu Tan's miserable state.
The purpose was to estimate how long it would take before Liu Tan died.
This time is very important for Li Shiyue.
She is about to lead a large number of naval troops to the Japanese mainland. While at sea, she must resolve the hidden dangers in her hometown (Jian'an).
The hidden danger—the life or death of Liu Tan, the Prince of Zhenbei, is something that Li Shiyue should personally come and see, isn't it?
Little did she know that Li Shiyue, following Liu Tan's footsteps, would eventually arrive at Jiang Huijun's place, and then she would watch this scene of husband and wife turning against each other from the rooftop.
Previously, on the rooftop, as Li Shiyue listened to Liu Tan's morbidly manic accusations and Jiang Huijun's initial shock and subsequent chilling questioning, a faint sneer appeared on her lips.
How familiar this scene is!
Back then, she too lurked on the rooftop, listening to the arguments between the old Prince Liu Cong of Zhenbei and his wife Zhao Changying, filled with power struggles, betrayals, and despair.
In the end, Zhao Changying used his own hands to end the life of the old Zhenbei King.
At that time, Li Shiyue was watching this play on the roof with Li Qingyun, the Taoist priest.
History seems to always repeat itself in a strange way.
"What a...nostalgic scene."
Li Shiyue sighed inwardly, with an almost cold, playful tone.
In the game of power, emotions are often the first sacrifices, especially women's emotions.
When Jiang Huijun emotionally brought up the promise Liu Tan made to her twenty years ago, Li Shiyue, who was lying on the roof, clearly saw that at that moment, what flickered in Jiang Huijun's eyes was not only anger and grievance, but also a very faint, perhaps even imperceptible to Jiang Huijun herself... expectation.
What is Jiang Huijun expecting?
Hopefully, Liu Tan will be moved by this distant memory?
Or perhaps they were hoping that Liu Tan would recall some of the affection he once shared with Jiang Huijun as husband and wife?
We still hope that Liu Tan can realize his mistakes and retract those vicious accusations against Jiang Huijun.
At that moment, Li Shiyue almost burst out laughing when she saw this scene.
"Jiang Huijun, Jiang Huijun, you've reached this point, yet you still can't see clearly—what exactly are these men?"
You actually expect a man like Liu Tan to have even a shred of genuine affection left for you, his 'old flame'?
Li Shiyue sighed inwardly, feeling that this kind of "love-struck" person who wouldn't give up even when they were at their wits' end was both ridiculously foolish and pathetically pitiful.
Even though there were already many conflicts between Li Shiyue and Jiang Huijun, putting all that aside, from the perspective of being a woman herself, Li Shiyue genuinely felt sorry for Jiang Huijun, who had been betrayed and treated so badly by Liu Tan.
What pained Li Shiyue was that a woman who devoted herself wholeheartedly to a man was betrayed like this!
well......
Li Shiyue's thoughts were suddenly interrupted as she pondered this.
She heard Jiang Huijun standing below her and finally lost control of her emotions.
While shedding tears, Jiang Huijun hysterically yelled at Liu Tan, "But let me tell you, Liu Tan, even if I hate you to the bone, I would never resort to such despicable means!"
On the contrary, I want to see it with my own eyes. I want to see how you ruin yourself!
I want to watch how you squander the empire you've worked so hard to build, step by step!
That would give me far more pleasure than killing you with my own hands!
"you!"
Upon hearing Jiang Huijun's words, Liu Tan was so angry that he trembled all over.
The surge of emotions affected Liu Tan once again;
A severe headache struck Liu Tan again, this time seemingly particularly fierce.
It hurts so much!
It hurts so much!
Liu Tan's hand finally gave way to the long knife, which fell to the ground with a clang after he let go.
Liu Tan was now holding his head in his hands, letting out painful howls.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and at this moment, his face was as ferocious as a demon.
Hearing the commotion from Liu Tan inside, Zhao Da, who was outside, rushed in without waiting for instructions outside the door. He pushed the door open and called out "General!"
