"Come here, take him down!"
Xiao Li suddenly attacked, and four guards rushed up and put their swords on Liu Yan's neck.
The others were so frightened that they stood up, but Liu Yan was the calmest one.
He used his chopsticks to gently push away the sword that was about to touch his face, and asked with a smile, "Princess, what do you mean? Do you think my name is unpleasant?"
Xiao Li glanced at him coldly: "You are not Liu Yan."
"Pull it down."
The two guards pulled him up and were about to drag him away. Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Liu Yan bent down and struggled to break free from the guards.
He turned to face Xiao Li, ignoring the knives in the hands of the two guards, straightened his clothes, put on a charming smile, his eyes full of affection, and saluted with a feigned elegance: "Princess, please forgive me. I just wanted to see you so badly that I had to resort to this desperate measure."
"My name is Lu Ling, nice to meet you, Princess Sister-in-law!"
The Lu family is annoying enough, and he actually dares to call her "Princess Sister-in-law"?
The fire in Xiao Li's heart was ignited, and she laughed in anger: "Back then, this princess was too merciful. I didn't let His Majesty exterminate all nine clans directly, giving you the illusion that you could survive by showing up in front of me with this face."
Lu Ling said with a flattering smile, "Princess, please calm down. Lu Yanzhi is ignorant of romance and blind. It is his fault for hurting the princess, but that doesn't mean that all men in the Lu family are like that."
"In my eyes, the princess is like the bright moon and the blazing morning sun. She is a rare and extraordinary woman in the world, with a grace and beauty that no one can match."
"A princess shouldn't reject the good in everyone just because of one person's badness."
He almost said directly, "I want to replace Lu Yanzhi."
Xiao Li raised his eyes, his expression amused: "Do you hate Lu Yanzhi?"
Lu Ling said frankly, "The princess has seen it too. I look like him and am no less knowledgeable than him. It's just that he was born into a legitimate family and has always lived in the capital. He relied on his status to win the princess's favor, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. How can he not be annoying?"
After saying this, he did not forget to express his feelings. He looked up at Xiao Li with affection and said, "The princess hates Lu Yanzhi. I just look like him, but I am not as ungrateful as him. Please understand, princess."
The brother of the same clan as the prince consort came to confess his love to his ex-cousin-law in public. Doesn't it mean that all the shame in the Lu family belongs to him alone?
The eyes convey affection, the words suggestive, everything is full of seduction.
Xiao Li suppressed the anger that was about to burst out. She looked up and down, and finally her eyes fell on Lu Ling's face.
"Indeed, it's Lu Yanzhi who's at fault, not this appearance."
Song Junzhan on the side looked at Xiao Li in surprise, but calmed down the next moment, and his eyes looked at Lu Ling a little more seriously.
Xiao Li seemed to be bewildered by this face, and even raised his hand to make a gesture: "Come here."
Lu Ling was slightly stunned, but still walked over, with interest in his eyes, wanting to see what this woman would do.
He walked to Xiao Li's desk and continued to be looked at by her.
Xiao Li carefully tasted it: "At first glance, they look very similar, but in fact, there is a big difference. He always looks hypocritical and noble, which is annoying. Your eyes are more beautiful than his..."
The smile on Lu Ling's face deepened slightly. He liked to hear this.
Xiao Li stood up and walked towards him slowly.
She did not dress up for the banquet for talented scholars. She wore a casual dress with narrow sleeves made of crescent-colored flowing cloud brocade, a golden hairpin and jade crown, and a jade ornament on her slender waist. She did not look very charming like a woman, but rather like a suave young man from a noble family.
With red lips, white teeth and a face as beautiful as jade, it is difficult to tell whether she is male or female.
But she is so beautiful that even when dressed like this, people can't take their eyes off her.
It was the first time that Lu Ling saw Xiao Li at such a close distance, and this face was more gorgeous than he had expected.
As he watched her approaching with a smile on her face, the smile on his face deepened, and he felt secretly proud in his heart. He thought he was much more likable than Lu Yanzhi, and he must win her over.
“Puff!”
The dagger pierced through the cloth and into the flesh, and the smile on Lu Ling's face froze.
The next moment, he was kicked in the heart and flew backwards. The dagger was pulled out suddenly, and blood splattered everywhere.
He fell to the ground. In his sight, Xiao Li was standing there with a dagger in his hand, blood all over his hands. He looked down at him, his eyes cold and filled with contempt and disgust, as if he was looking down at an ant.
"Just because the Emperor doesn't kill the Lu family doesn't mean this princess won't. Having a face that looks like Lu Yanzhi will only make you die faster!"
Lu Ling really didn't expect Xiao Li to be so arrogant as to draw his knife in public.
He clearly showed no ill intentions.
His abdomen hurt so much and blood was flowing out. He really felt like he was going to die, but he was so excited.
She is really arrogant, vicious, blatantly evil, wanton and arrogant, and looks down on everyone.
He had never seen such a woman, so beautiful, so cruel and ruthless, so cold-blooded and evil.
He seemed to have found the other half that matched his soul mate best. When he looked at Xiao Li again, there was only crazy obsession in his eyes.
Before, it was because of Lu Yanzhi that he wanted to get close to the princess, but at this moment, he was deeply fascinated by her and he had to get her.
must!
Xiao Li didn't know what he was thinking, but his perverted look disgusted her.
"Drag him out and kill him."
Tsk tsk, the way she was about to kill him was so heartless and charming.
"Princess sister-in-law~~~~" Lu Ling was dragged away without forgetting to say: "I will definitely come back. I answered the questions with my real name, and wrote love poems on each one. Every word is sincere and heartfelt..."
Xiao Li clenched the dagger tightly. If the man had not been dragged out of the door, she would definitely have stabbed him two more times.
He swept his eyes over the other six people with murderous intent. "Today is the Talented Scholars Banquet, not the Husband Selection Banquet. The banquet hasn't started yet. You have one last chance. Those with ulterior motives should leave on their own."
The blood on the ground was quickly wiped away by several maids, but the smell of blood in the air had not yet dissipated, and the princess was still holding a bloody dagger in her hand.
The remaining six people were still terrified, and they lowered their heads with a clear conscience, not daring to speak. Only one handsome man stood up, so nervous that he was at a loss for words. "Your Highness, I am Su Ziqi. My father has received orders from His Majesty to come to the selection... banquet for talented men. If I am fortunate enough to be chosen by the princess, His Majesty will... grant me marriage..."
He lowered his head while speaking, not daring to look directly into Xiao Li's eyes.
Su Ziqi wanted to die at this moment. He didn't know how he was chosen by His Majesty. He had to come because of the king's order. He didn't want to be chosen, but the questions were novel and he was unconsciously attracted to answer them. What he didn't expect was that he was actually chosen by the princess.
Just now he was still uneasy, afraid that His Majesty would really grant the marriage, while carefully sizing up the princess. However, before he could even sit comfortably in his chair, the princess attacked 'Liu Yan' and even killed him directly.
If the rumors outside are true, then he will not die here too, right?
