Chapter 171 I admire her, but it is hard to be her
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The whip with barbs continuously whipped dozens of people who were kneeling on the ground with their upper bodies naked, leaving their skin and flesh torn and quickly condensing into ice crystals in the freezing weather.
But even so, Changning still felt unsatisfied.
"Waste! Waste! All useless waste!"
She screamed like crazy.
She was mad!
She was sure that Su Rui would die this time, but these useless things actually allowed her to survive!
Why? Why could that lowly bitch, as lowly as a bedbug, escape time and again, and even dare to openly slap the face of Prince Long's Mansion?
"Well, it won't help even if you kill them all." Prince Long, who was sitting in the house with the burning dragon, finally spoke.
Changning stopped, threw the whip to the person next to him, and said coldly: "Drag everyone away and feed them to the dogs."
Those people didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before their mouths were covered and they were all dragged away.
Chang Ning returned to the house, still indignant, saying, "Father, are we just going to let this go? Let that bitch live?"
"Now that the people from Fahua Temple are staying in Prince Yong's mansion, who would dare to go in?" Prince Long was turning the plate of shiny walnuts in his hand, feeling annoyed.
I originally thought that the girl was just a little clever and could be easily dealt with, but I didn't expect that she was a capable person who had set so many traps.
Gunpowder was also buried.
According to the person who came back to report, the girl had already taken aim at that time. Even if the people from Fahua Temple did not go, the gunpowder would have exploded and the matter would have been over.
Prince Long didn't care whether Su Rui lived or died. Even though she splashed wine on his face, she was just an ant. Without Yun Ji's protection, she could be crushed to death at will.
But Yun Yi's appearance made him irritated.
Yun Yi is the eldest disciple of Abbot Kongming. He manages the affairs of Fahua Temple and is already half an abbot. However, unlike Abbot Kongming who is devoted to spiritual practice, he has closer ties with the royal family.
His appearance was probably not only because of Yun Ji, but also because of the emperor's instructions.
The emperor was far more inclined towards Yun Ji than he thought. Even though he had not seen the emperor since he returned to Beijing, he had witnessed the emperor's thundering methods over the years and knew even more deeply that the emperor was deep-minded and strategizing.
Therefore, when the emperor was healthy, even though he was a little arrogant, he did not dare to reveal his thoughts.
It was not revealed until now.
Who would have thought that Yun Ji was so ungrateful?
But Prince Long was not sure whether this was the emperor's intention.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince has brought the Second Young Lady back." Someone outside came to report.
Hearing that the second prince was coming, Prince Long, being a thousand-year-old fox, naturally understood what he meant.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Although it is not as good as a single dominant force, the enemies will be much smaller, with only Yun Ji as the only one.
Prince Long slammed the walnut in his hand on the table and stood up to meet the second prince.
Tang Yuli, who had just separated from the second prince and walked into the hanging flower gate, saw Prince Long's figure from afar, immediately turned around, and walked to the other side through the nearby corridor.
"Miss, don't you want to see the prince?" Liuli asked in confusion.
"Uncle and the Second Prince must be busy, so let's not delay them."
Liuli thought about it, but couldn't help but say, "But Miss, if you don't tell the prince, how would the prince know that you don't want to have any contact with the Second Prince? Besides, the Second Prince really went a little overboard today, and almost scared you to the point of falling down."
Liuli gets angry when she talks about it.
At first, the second prince was polite, but his speech and behavior were completely different from the eldest prince's in the past. He was nonchalant and a little out of tune.
And those eyes were like poisonous snakes. Liuli trembled all over when he glanced at her.
And those eyes were very deep, I don’t know what he was thinking, it was like... like a prey being stared at by a poisonous snake.
He has been becoming more and more unruly lately, and today he even wanted to hold the lady's hand directly.
He is simply a lecher.
"When did I say I didn't want to?" Tang Yuli retorted.
"Miss, your expression and actions do not show any willingness." Liuli has been serving the young lady since she was a child. She knows her young lady best and she will never like a sinister person like the Second Prince.
Knowing that he couldn't fool Liuli, Tang Yuli lowered his head so that Liuli wouldn't see his red eyes.
She also felt uncomfortable, but what else could she do?
It's not up to her whether she likes it or not.
She could only make herself willing, but when she touched the Second Prince's hand, she still...
"Why not write a letter to the General?"
Write a letter to your father?
Tang Yuli hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
This matter must have been decided by her uncle and father a long time ago. After all, she was trained for this since she was a child.
"Miss." Liuli held Tang Yuli's hand with a distressed look, her eyes red. "If possible, I hope you can be like Concubine Su, do whatever you want and kill whenever you want."
In the past, Liuli looked down on Su Rui, but now, she hopes that her young lady can be as free as she is.
Tang Yuli envied Su Rui, but how could she dare to let her down after she had raised her for eighteen years?
But today, when he heard about Su Rui's actions in resisting the mob, even Tang Yuli was moved.
Su Rui will never give up no matter how difficult the adversity is. With what she has now, she will try her best to fight.
However, she also understood that Su Rui was not as relaxed and carefree as others saw.
"She's also had a difficult life. She's suffered far more than us. Moreover, she doesn't just do whatever she wants now. It's her nature. She's more resilient than me. I admire her, but it's hard to be like her. Well, let's go back to the courtyard. I'm tired."
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Queen Lin is feeding medicine to the emperor.
The emperor coughed less and his complexion was much rosier than before, which made Empress Lin very pleased.
"It seems that the emperor has been taking medicine on time during this period. Please take good care of your health."
The emperor took a few breaths before he could muster the strength to say, "After all, I can't die yet, can I?"
"Long live the emperor! How can you talk about his death?"
Empress Lin gently fed the emperor another spoonful of medicine and wiped the liquid from the corner of his mouth with her handkerchief. She was as affectionate as before and smiled as if chatting with him:
"Yes, Your Majesty should support your good brother. Yun Ji has indeed lived up to Your Majesty's expectations. This morning, news came back that he was very skilled in disaster relief in Yanzhou and had prepared winter supplies early on. Now, no one in Yanzhou has frozen to death, and he has even suppressed the bandits. It's truly a great achievement."
The Emperor snorted coldly, "Didn't the Empress provide good guidance on the campaign against foreign invaders in Shengjing?"
"Your Majesty is joking with me. Didn't Concubine Su survive the abdication? I heard she was pregnant with twins. We went to the Fahua Temple just in time, and the prophecy from twenty years ago came true. Your Majesty is truly a master of every move."
The emperor did not respond.
The couple just stared at each other, the atmosphere was like smoke rising from the sky, dragons roaring and phoenixes crying.
