"Why are you...here..."
Chen Pingting hated Xiao Li and wished she could see her die, but that didn't mean she still wanted to see her when she was sick and dying.
She saw Xiao Li holding a glass of water and handing it to her mouth. She was still hesitating whether to drink the enemy's water, but the other party poured the whole glass into her clothes. The cold water made her shiver.
She suddenly realized something. Xiao Li was not here to see her. She was here to torture her and maybe even kill her!
Xuan Yang, this vicious woman, can do anything!
"You dare... I... am the Queen Mother's niece, the Imperial Consort..." she hissed threateningly.
"The Empress Dowager's niece?" Xiao Li's eyes were filled with mockery. "The Empress Dowager can hardly protect herself, so I'm afraid she can't protect you either. As for my brother, the vengeance of your mother's murder goes beyond you. I'm afraid your entire Chen family will go to hell with you."
Chen Pingting's pupils trembled, and she suddenly became smart: "It's you! ... It's you who hurt me!"
Xiao Liyou smiled coldly: "You guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no prize."
She grabbed Chen Pingting's waving hand, her cold eyes devoid of any warmth. "Chen Pingting, I was too lazy to attack you. Killing an idiot like you would be a waste of energy, but you insisted on jumping around. Did you drug me at the banquet? And you tried to instigate the Queen Mother to torture me."
"Aren't you deeply in love with Lu Yanzhi? I'll personally send you off so you can reunite with him."
If someone else said they wanted to kill someone, Chen Pingting would still curse a few words, but if it was Xiao Li, she would definitely do it.
Fear appeared in Chen Pingting's eyes.
She likes Lu Yanzhi and wants to kill Xiao Li to avenge Lu Yanzhi, but that doesn't mean she is willing to die to accompany Lu Yanzhi.
What she wanted was to live and be with Lu Yanzhi, she never thought about dying...
"You can't kill me, the Chen family won't let you go!" She squeezed out these words with great effort.
Xiao Li smiled like a man-eating devil: "They won't let me go, so I'll just send her to accompany you. It's a convenient thing."
Seeing Xiao Li raise his hand, Chen Pingting trembled all over, her eyes full of fear: "No, you can't kill me... I won't deal with you anymore... I was wrong... Please..."
In Xiao Li's eyes, she was already a dead person: "It's too late to admit your mistakes now!"
When she doesn't want to kill someone, she won't even look at them, but when she decides to kill someone, she will never show mercy.
------------
As dusk fell, the lights in the palace had not yet been turned on, and at first glance, everything looked gray.
The figure of a palace maid walked slowly on the palace road, heading towards the palace gate.
"Stop, which palace are you from?"
The imperial guards stopped her.
The maid handed over a sign: "Sir, I am from Chunxi Palace. I am ordered by the Queen to go to the palace gate to get something. I will be back soon."
The imperial guards looked at the sign, confirmed it was correct, and returned it to her: "Go."
As Mu Bai was walking, he noticed that Lou Yan in front of him suddenly stopped. Following his gaze, he saw a palace maid walking further and further away on the long palace road. In a short while, she turned a corner and completely disappeared from his sight.
Everyone has left, but the boss is still staring at that place.
"Boss? Is there something wrong with that maid?"
"No." Lou Yan withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward, but before a moment, he stopped again.
"You go first, I have something to do and will come back later."
Watching Lou Yan quickly disappear down the stairs, Mu Bai was puzzled. What happened to the boss? He has been restless for the past two days.
Relying on his familiarity with the palace, Lou Yan quickly avoided the patrols and headed towards the palace gate.
The ghostly figure came to a corridor and waited, and finally, the slender figure slowly walked over.
He made a move in an instant, pulled her over and pushed her against the wall. He held her waist with one hand and supported her head with the other. He lowered his head to look at her face. The moment he saw it clearly, a brilliant light slowly blossomed in his cold eyes.
"Princess, it's you."
Even though she deliberately put on makeup to make herself look ordinary, she even added a few freckles.
But if others can't recognize it, how could he not recognize it?
Just the sight of her back was enough to make him lose his mind.
Xiao Li didn't struggle or show any surprise, but said calmly, "I was caught by the Master Seal."
She raised her hand and placed the hairpin against Lou Yan's chest.
Lou Yan was shocked, then suddenly laughed, a little surprised, a little mocking, but not angry at all: "You want to kill me?"
Xiao Li didn't move, but he stood up and put his chest into her hands.
"You can kill me, but please let me die knowingly."
"It was the princess who provoked me first, why are you suddenly ignoring me?"
He lowered his head and looked directly into her eyes without any rejection. He hoped to see something, even a hint of hesitation or smile, but there was nothing.
The cold hairpin slid from his chest to his throat and finally to his cheek.
Xiao Li calmly replied, "On the night of the Lantern Festival, you stood at the door all night. What were you thinking about?"
It was clearly Lou Yan who asked the question first, but in the end he was the one who was defeated.
The veins in his arms were throbbing, but he didn't dare use force on her.
"The princess is very smart and should know what I am thinking."
Xiao Li wanted to brush his hand away and leave, but Lou Yan grabbed her into his arms.
"The princess likes that young boy, so she wants to give up this servant?"
"Or is it because I am a flawed person, unworthy of even jealousy and anger?"
