After walking across a winding wooden bridge, we finally arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Someone was making tea in the pavilion. It was a young woman in white. Two guards in black were standing at the railing outside, their figures mostly blocked by the pillars.
Wang Shiqi led Xiao Li to sit down, but he saw that Xiao Li's eyes were fixed on the person who made tea. He paused slightly and could only smile and introduce: "Princess, why are you looking at her? She is just a tea-making maid in my Wang family..."
The woman was not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her appearance was not eye-catching, but she had the delicate and pretty look of a beautiful girl from a small family. I felt pity for her when I saw her.
Xiao Li raised his eyes: "Jiang Yu'er."
The two people in the room looked at her in surprise at the same time, as if they didn't expect that she would know Jiang Yuer.
Wang Shiqi still wanted to cover up: "What did the princess say? What Jiang Yu'er?"
Jiang Yuer continued to pour tea, but she was so distracted that she got scalded by the tea.
Jiang Yuer brought the tea to the table, lowered her eyebrows and stepped back, as if trying hard to act like a maid.
Wang Shiqi quickly signaled to Xiao Li: "Princess, please try this tea and plum blossom cake to see if it suits your taste."
Xiao Li raised his hand and twisted the lid of the cup, sliding it a few times: "The tea is good, but if you add something that shouldn't be added, it won't be beautiful."
Jiang Yuer knew that Xiao Li would not drink the tea, so she stopped pretending, raised her head, and stared at Xiao Li with eyes full of hatred.
"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. What wrong did Princess Xuanyang do that she doesn't even dare to drink a cup of tea?"
Xiao Li tapped his teacup: "I'm not afraid of ghosts."
I'm afraid of you guys who are just love-brained.
Xiao Li was calm, Jiang Yuer no longer concealed herself, and finally became Wang Shiqi who was at a loss.
This is not what we agreed upon, why are you coming clean right away?
Jiang Yu'er pulled out the dagger and angrily accused: "You killed my husband. We were about to get married, but you killed him!"
Xiao Li corrected: "That seems to be Jiang Wan'er's fiancé, so he's your brother-in-law."
Jiang Yu'er said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, he is my husband!"
Xiao Li was speechless: "Even if you wanted to snatch her away, you haven't even snatched her away yet, and you're already calling her husband, you have no shame!"
"You're looking for death!"
Jiang Yuer broke through the defense and stabbed Xiao Li with a dagger.
Xiao Li was prepared and grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it directly at her.
"Yu'er!"
"ah!"
Jiang Yuer was splashed directly, and Wang Shiqi quickly got up.
Jiang Yuer just paused for a moment, then raised the dagger again and rushed towards Xiao Li. Today she must avenge her brother Gu!
Xiao Li stood up, kicked the stool over, and casually retreated to the side of the pillar.
"Since my royal brother is here, why are you hiding all the time? Is it fun to watch two of us girls fighting?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a sword was placed on her neck.
Jiang Yu'er stopped moving. Wang Shiqi looked at the man in black in disbelief: "Prince Chen?"
"Yu'er..." He looked at his beloved girl: "Why is he King Chen?"
It was obvious that he had seen the tone before, but he didn't recognize it.
Jiang Yuer was in no mood to deal with the bootlicker now. She stared at Xiao Li, as if waiting for the opportunity to kill her.
Wang Shiqi was stunned when he saw his beloved girl’s face full of murderous intent.
When Xiao Jingyu saw that he was recognized, he pulled off his face mask. His expression was as cold as ever, and his eyes looked like they were about to drop ice chips, as if he had no other expression.
"Where is Xue Yin?"
Xiao Li was speechless. She thought King Chen came to seek revenge on her, but it turned out to be for Liu Xueyin.
"My Royal Brother, what you're asking is hilarious. You're asking me about your own princess? So, when disaster struck, everyone fled. You forgot to take her with you when you escaped, and now you're looking for her again?"
Xiao Jingyu remained unmoved by her provocation: "Don't bother to be so unreasonable. Hand her over immediately."
Xiao Li sneered: "Then I have to hand it over. She is not in my hands, what can I hand it over with?"
Thinking of something, she laughed again: "If she were really in my hands, and my brother came looking for her at this time, she would have turned into bones long ago."
"I killed Lu Yanzhi, so how could I let her go? I sent her to hell with Lu Yanzhi more than two months ago."
When you speak, it's half true and half false.
Xiao Jingyu examined her expression, trying to tell whether she was telling the truth or a lie.
Finally, he said doubtfully, "You'd better not touch her, otherwise I will never forgive you."
It's really funny. It's not certain who will be able to forgive whom.
He put away his sword and said coldly, "For the sake of my father, I won't kill you, but I will never help you with the evil you committed. Also, Xiao Jingyun is narrow-minded and short-sighted. If you help him get rid of the Lu family, you will definitely regret it."
Xiao Li sneered: "Is it my fault?"
Her gaze shifted to Jiang Yuer. She was too lazy to argue with this love-brained lunatic about who killed whom first between her and Gu Ling.
"Your Majesty is indeed narrow-minded, foolish and stupid, but are you, Prince Chen, a good person?"
"But none of this matters. Who becomes emperor, and what happens to the country, what does it have to do with me?"
"Speaking of which, even if my royal brother doesn't look for me, I've always wanted to look for him."
Xiao Jingyu frowned: "What do you want me to do? Help Xiao Jingyun?"
Xiao Li smiled and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with him, I just simply... want my brother to die!"
One moment he smiled gently and harmlessly, and the next he raised his hand.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone was shocked by the sudden change.
Xiao Jingyu was a martial arts expert, and he dodged the moment he sensed danger, but he only had time to dodge the first bullet. The next two hit him, causing him to fall directly out and land in the pond with a splash.
