Chapter 39: You are the best to bully Li Jin, who is silent and just...
Chen Shutian was horrified. She reached out and tightly grasped Lou Wanqiao's wrist. Her lips moved as if she had a thousand words to say, but at the critical moment, she couldn't utter a single word.
Go, have to go.
Escape from here.
Don't be a burden to Mr. Lou.
Chen Shutian stumbled towards the back door. Lou Wanqiao glanced at the guards beside her, and two of them nodded slightly before following her.
Lou Wanqiao exhaled barely audibly and then opened the door.
You Xin stood outside the door, staring at her with a bad look. Behind him stood a row of unfamiliar faces, holding weapons in their hands.
"Hey, Lou Wanqiao, when I look closely at your face, you actually look like a woman." He said it in a sarcastic tone, but Lou Wanqiao didn't care.
"What about being a woman? What about being a man? What does it matter what gender I am?" Her voice was soft, almost emotionless. "After all, you're already defeated by me, and there's no changing the outcome. You'll just keep barking."
"Lou Wanqiao, do you think you can get out alive?" His face was gloomy, and the smile he had just shown outside the door was gone. He held a long sword in his hand and walked towards her step by step. "I didn't expect you to be so lucky, but unfortunately, today is the day you die... Ah!"
Bang!!
"Is there something wrong with you?" Lou Wanqiao said indifferently. He slowly retracted his leg and tapped his head with a regretful tone. "Why do you only remember food and not punishment? Hiss...what was your name? I forgot. Anyway, I have something to say to you."
She walked step by step to You Xin, looking down at the man lying on the ground with disdain on her face.
"If you're not good at it, practice more. You, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple? You're still a long way off."
You Xin stared at her with eyes wide open, not knowing whether out of anger or fear, his chest heaving violently, his breathing becoming rapid: "Come, come..."
A cold sensation touched his neck, and You Xin took a deep breath: "You, you..."
"You can't even speak clearly? You weren't like that just now." Lou Wanqiao placed the Embroidered Spring Blade on his shoulder, but without exerting any force, he glanced coldly at the row of black-clad men in front of him, "Whoever takes a step forward will die."
Several people looked at each other, and then flew forward.
"Wow, it seems they don't really listen to you." Lou Wanqiao said frivolously, and suddenly lowered her head to whisper in his ear, "Think carefully about who used you as a knife, idiot."
After saying that, she touched his shoulder with her toes, jumped lightly into the air, and ran towards the roof.
Her identity has been exposed, so it is not advisable for her to stay here for long. As long as she does not appear in front of Li Lianhan openly, he will not be able to truly punish her.
Although there are not many people who can be trusted in this imperial city, she has placed quite a few chess pieces.
Li Su is one of them.
The Changsheng Temple on the outskirts of the capital is safe for the time being, but I don’t know where Li Su is now and whether he has made up his mind.
Lou Wanqiao ran so fast that the wind whistled past her ears, easily shaking off the tails. According to her memory, she landed near Prince Yun's mansion first.
Alas, Li Jin, everyone wants to bully you, but you are the easiest to bully.
Night had already fallen, and Lou Wanqiao, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, approached Prince Yun's mansion. The surrounding area was heavily guarded; it seemed the royal family had become wary.
Li Jin must have been deeply impressed by his last experience, and he will definitely be on guard this time.
As for intelligence, besides her own people, it was of course Li Jin, the "idle prince," who arrived the fastest. Going back now would inevitably cause trouble for others, but if she could get some "help" from Li Jin, things would be much easier.
There was no light in the bedroom, and no sound could be heard, so he guessed that no one was inside. Lou Wanqiao turned around and looked elsewhere, finally finding a room with two lights on.
She landed quietly and looked at the maids lined up walking in, lost in thought.
…
Mist filled the room, the sound of running water could be heard through the curtains, the fragrance of flowers lingered all around, and warm light filled the air. Although it was still cold, the room was exceptionally warm.
A group of young maids walked into the room and placed the trays in their hands next to the curtains. Various bathing products were placed on the trays.
A man leaned against the pool, his charming eyes half-closed, his skin faintly visible in the water. His figure was strong and beautiful, and he could easily be imagined at first sight.
There were brisk footsteps behind him, and the person came closer, mixed with a cool fragrance.
Li Jin felt inexplicably relaxed. He tilted his head back, spread his hands and placed them on the edge of the hot spring pool, and took a deep breath.
——Until a sharp coldness was delivered to the completely exposed neck.
Li Jin suddenly remembered when was the last time he smelled this scent.
His back suddenly stiffened, and his body straightened little by little, with the muscles on his lower abdomen faintly visible in the water.
The Adam's apple rolled up and down, and I could clearly feel the blade on my neck tightening a little.
Then a leisurely voice came from above, with one part leisure, two parts nonchalantness, and seven parts teasing: "...Beauty, long time no see."
Li Jin opened his eyes wide and looked up, only to meet a pair of smiling eyes.
"You...uh!"
Without any hesitation, Lou Wanqiao mercilessly pushed him into the water to prevent him from shouting.
After a few seconds, she pulled Li Jin up by his hair, then leaned in close and whispered, "Shh—don't talk. My knife is very fast, and my hands might shake if I get nervous."
She slowly let go of her hand only after she felt Li Jin had calmed down. When she looked down, she saw water droplets sliding down his cheeks and chest and merging into the water.
His eyes were a little red, not sure if it was due to moisture or anger. He opened his mouth but thought of Lou Wanqiao's threat, so he didn't dare to say anything and simply closed his eyes and didn't look at her.
Lou Wanqiao was watching with fascination. She casually dropped her hand on Li Jin's shoulder and patted him twice. "Didn't expect to see me here? There's always a loophole, Your Highness Prince Yun. How about you beg for mercy now and say a few nice words? Maybe I can make you feel better."
Li Jin said nothing, just turned his head away.
"Alright, it was just a joke between me and Prince Yun. Don't take it personally." Lou Wanqiao said with a fake smile, trying to drag him out. The next second, she heard footsteps outside the door. Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously changed direction, pressing Li Jin's head back into the water.
Li Jin widened his eyes in shock, and several strings of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.
A clever female voice came from behind a curtain: "Your Highness, His Majesty is on his way."
Lou Wanqiao pursed her lips, glanced at Li Jin calmly, then pinched her throat and spoke softly, "Your Highness is changing clothes, please leave first."
"yes."
The shadow outside the door bowed, and then there was the sound of a door closing.
Li Jin emerged from the water, raised a trembling finger and pointed at Lou Wanqiao: "You, you..."
"What do you mean, you heard it too. Your savior, His Majesty, will be here soon." Lou Wanqiao stroked his chin in thought. He seemed to be relaxed, but the cold blade against his neck did not dare to let go for a moment. "Well, things are a bit difficult. Let me think..."
Before Li Jin could even breathe out, he felt a numbness on the back of his neck, and then he lost consciousness.
Lou Wanqiao straightened up, stared coldly at the person in the water, and an emotionless smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
…
When Li Jin opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by darkness. He felt dizzy and his body was completely exhausted.
"hiss……"
There was a noticeable dull pain in the back of his neck, and Li Jin couldn't help but press his solar plexus. After he recovered, he slowly supported himself and sat up.
It took a long time for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. He groped his way to his feet and looked around carefully.
It looked like an ordinary room, with ordinary furnishings and a tightly closed window that kept all light out. Li Jin guessed it must be nighttime, so he listened carefully but heard no sound.
It was eerily quiet.
At this moment, King Yun no longer had his usual playful look, and his face was terribly gloomy.
Building, house, photo.
He was the dignified King Yun, yet he had fallen into the hands of the same person so many times.
Li Jin was so angry that his teeth were itching.
But so far there is nothing we can do about her.
Lou Zizhao.
Li Jin never took her seriously.
He was just a junior official at the Dali Temple. No matter how powerful he was, what could he do to him? He was "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yun," second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He was under the Emperor's protection. Although he appeared to be an idle and free-spirited prince, no one in the four regions could do anything to him.
And he was provoked again and again by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
The more Li Jin thought about it, the angrier he became. Then he felt dizzy and quickly grabbed the corner of the table to steady himself.
He took a few more breaths, walked to the door and reached out to push it.
Sure enough, the door was locked.
If I guessed correctly, Lou Wanqiao had locked him up.
What is her purpose?
The emperor's brother is already on the way, so she will definitely be discovered if she does this, and it will be even more difficult for her to take any action.
Why?
What good would it do her?
Li Jin walked around the house and suddenly stopped.
That’s right.
He remembered.
Three days later, the annual Spring Festival will begin, which is the busiest time.
However, the Spring Ceremony was heavily guarded, so it was not easy for any incident to occur.
But the situation is different now. Even if the disappearance of Prince Yun is temporarily covered up, it cannot be completely suppressed, and chaos will inevitably occur.
Li Jin felt a surge of annoyance in his heart.
He didn't know how far Lou Wanqiao had progressed, or how confident he was. Besides, his other "good brother" was also watching closely.
Prince Duan's power should not be underestimated. It had been difficult to eliminate before, and he later grew stronger thanks to the influence of his mother's clan, making it even harder to eradicate now. To completely eradicate him, one must uproot him completely.
They have been waiting for an opportunity.
Li Lie was like a wolf, watching closely, and his wolfish ambition was hardly concealed.
Li Jin never took it to heart.
But now with Li Lie and Lou Wanqiao, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to deal with them.
Just as he was thinking about a solution, he heard footsteps outside the door. Li Jin looked up alertly and saw that the door was slowly pushed open.
The night was hazy, and the man who came in had a gentle and kind expression. His white robe was bathed in moonlight, and a few drops of frost still clung to his hem. He seemed to illuminate the entire room as he entered. He raised his sleeves in a greeting, then bowed his head meekly, his brows lowered, and he said, "It's been a long time since we last met, my royal brother."
