Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 25: Stimulating vomiting blood, affectionate yet heartless

"As a commoner, you dare to covet the princess. This is a capital crime. I am only following the law. What right do you have to ask me?"

Lin Shiyin's words were earth-shattering.

Li Xunhuan was stunned and looked at Lin Shiyin in disbelief: "Cousin, what did you just say?"

Princess? His cousin Lin Shiyin is the princess?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Lin Shiyin's demeanor changed dramatically, like a proud phoenix, her every move filled with grace and nobility. "Do I need to repeat myself? I am the concubine of Prince Su. That Long Xiaoyun dared to covet me. This alone is a capital crime."

"Pfft~!"

Li Xun Huan spat out a mouthful of blood, half-knelt on the ground, and stared with wide eyes: "Impossible, Shiyin, how could you be..."

Lin Shiyin's eyes flashed with pity, but thinking of the top-secret message from the secret guards, she had to harden her heart: "You discarded me like a worn-out shoe, but there are people who treat me like a treasure."

"Your Highness is unparalleled in talent and martial arts. It is a blessing for Shiyin to fall in love with him. Why is your cousin making such a fuss?"

"Shiyin's rebirth, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, is entirely due to your Highness's cultivation."

"No, it shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this."

"How could this happen? How could it become like this?"

Li Xun Huan murmured, how could he treat Lin Shi Yin so badly? He just...

Thinking about what he had done and how heartbroken Lin Shiyin was at that time, Li Xunhuan was speechless for a moment and found it even harder to accept.

Accompanied by a sweet taste in his throat, he, who was already suffering from tuberculosis, spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.

"cousin……"

Lin Shiyin subconsciously showed a look of worry, but thinking of her current identity and purpose, she had to retract the hand that was about to reach out to support.

"Master!"

Tie Chuanjia's worried cry was heard.

Tie Chuanjia quickly came to the unconscious Li Xunhuan, picked him up by the waist, and then looked at the indifferent Lin Shiyin: "Miss Cousin, what did you do to the young master?"

"Take away what's on the ground."

"When my cousin wakes up, he will tell you."

Lin Shiyin flicked her sleeves, pointed her toes and flew backwards, then turned around and disappeared in front of Tie Chuanjia and Li Xunhuan with Lian Nishang and others as graceful as fairies.

"Ugh!"

Tie Chuanjia sighed heavily, then his eyes flickered as he noticed the scattered objects on the ground. "What is this? That bastard Long Xiaoyun is truly no good."

After he put Li Xunhuan into the carriage, he quickly picked up the documents on the ground.

There were seals on it from the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, the Hulong Villa, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Every single one of them was a verified case. Seeing this, Tie Chuanjia's eyes were bloodshot. He wished he could dig out the Long Xiaoyun who had been fed to the dog from the dog's stomach, oh no, from the dog's excrement, and burn it again.

However, no matter how angry he was, Tie Chuanjia could only suppress it temporarily for the sake of Li Xunhuan's safety, and hurriedly drove the carriage towards Jiayuguan.

Watching the carriage galloping past.

Lian Nishang, Lin Shiyin and others who had been hiding nearby and had not gone far came out.

"Aren't you afraid that Li Xunhuan will hate you forever if you do this?"

"Hate him if you want." Lin Shiyin sighed softly and shook her head. "Rumors abound in the capital. To hinder Your Highness, the Emperor is desperately trying to win over experts from all sides. My cousin has already left the court, so he shouldn't be persuaded by the Emperor to return to the Ming Dynasty." "At this juncture, it's better for him to hate me than to die in vain."

"It's a pity, he may not understand your good intentions." Lian Nishang glanced at Lin Shiyin sympathetically and said, "Your words have severely damaged his state of mind. Even if his realm doesn't fall, it's likely he won't be able to wield the flying dagger of Xiao Li again for a few years. It's absolutely impossible."

To deal with a person, you don't have to kill him.

Sometimes, destroying someone's heart is more effective than killing them.

Coincidentally, there is no one in this world who understands Li Xunhuan better than Lin Shiyin, and no one who can destroy his heart better than Lin Shiyin.

"It's done. Let's go back and report to His Highness." Lin Shiyin bit her lower lip, revealing a hint of sadness. Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? She knew how much impact those words would have on her cousin Li Xunhuan, and it might even cause him to give up on himself, but it was better than letting him get involved in this vortex that concerned the life and death of countless people.

There are seven Jinshi in one family, and three Tanhua in the father and son. The Li family has been a prominent family for generations.

Although her cousin had let her down, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts and he took good care of her. Uncle Li also treated her as his own daughter. She couldn't bear to see the Li family's bloodline die out with Li Xunhuan's generation.

This is also the last thing Lin Shiyin can do for Li Xunhuan and the Li family.

"Ah, should I hurry back to report, or should I go back to His Highness to complain and throw myself into His Highness's arms again like before?"

A playful voice full of teasing sounded.

Lin Shiyin blushed instantly as if her true feelings were touched upon.

"She's blushing, Shion-nee, she... mmm."

Lin Shiyin covered the little girl's mouth and said gently and kindly, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll not only starve you when you get home, but I'll also hang you up and give you a good massage with my Ice and Fire Palm."

The pretty woman who spoke quickly blinked, indicating that she understood and would not talk nonsense anymore.

Only then did Lin Shiyin let her go.

"actually……"

Lian Nishang opened her mouth, but nothing came out when words came to her lips.

Lian Nishang read the information about Li Xunhuan several times and knew that he was a man with deep feelings. If Lin Shiyin was willing to talk to him nicely, she might be able to persuade Li Xunhuan to escape.

However, Lin Shiyin chose to use a ruthless method.

"Alas, no wonder His Highness said that women are most touching when they are infatuated, and most hurtful when they are heartless." Lian Nishang glanced at Lin Shiyin in front of her, and for the first time had a deep understanding of this sentence.

Looking at the carriage that vanished into the distance, Lin Shiyin murmured, "Cousin, you shouldn't have come back."

Xiao Li's Flying Dagger is the most terrifying hidden weapon in the world. Even though she knows that Li Xunhuan's flying dagger cannot threaten her own prince, as long as there is the slightest threat, she must stop it in advance.

After the carriage drove away, the few of them set out on their journey home again.

"Sister Nishang, how come Sister Shiyin became His Highness's concubine? How come Qing'er doesn't know?"

"Also, Li Xunhuan is a fool. His words are full of loopholes and make me vomit blood. Which concubine dares to call herself this palace? Sister Shiyin is not afraid that Sister Wangqing will cause trouble for her."

"You know too much."

"Sister Nishang, this girl is too talkative. Let's go back and ask her to recite the "Chu Shi Biao" a hundred times. What do you think?"

"Shiyin's suggestion is good. Let's add 'Female Commandments' and 'Internal Training'."

"No, can't I just stop being curious?"
