After being bound by the system, Bai Yueguang and I reunited

Qi Chuanwu has been on the throne for decades. Even if he does it all over again, he cannot erase the power that has been ingrained in his bones over the years.

Hearing the offensive words, he, who had lived a life of luxury, did not realize that he should suppress his anger and continue to pretend.

Qi Chuanwu strode closer with bloodshot eyes, "Huo Chaoyue! Before I get furious, you'd better surrender immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship!"

Huo Chaoyue couldn't control her body and began to tremble.

She had anticipated this scene from the very beginning.

But when she faces it, she will be dragged back to the isolated and helpless situation in her previous life in an instant.

Her breathing was disordered and her body was stiff, as if she was enveloped by a huge beast, making her unable to move at all!

Qi Chuanwu is getting closer and closer.

Three steps...

Two steps...

step!

——The way to overcome fear is to face it.

The cold and indifferent eyes of the imperial sister flashed through his mind.

——If it doesn’t work once, try it twice, three times, and again and again. One day, the person who once frightened you will become an ant crawling under your feet.

Huo Chaoyue took a deep breath, her nails clenched so tightly that they were about to pierce her palms.

It's ok.

It's just one failure, it's nothing.

There is still a long way to go!

She mobilized all her strength and concentrated it on her legs, and the moment Qi Chuanwu's palm landed, she quickly retreated!

Taking advantage of the moment when Qi Chuanwu was unstable, Huo Chaoyue widened the distance between them.

"Qi Chuanwu! How dare you attack me in the Dai Viet Palace? Are you trying to start a war between our two countries? And you even call yourself "I"? Does my father, the emperor in faraway Wei, know what you've done?"

Qi Chuanwu raised his sinister eyes and said, "Two countries, huh!"

He laughed disdainfully.

"I originally wanted to fulfill your wish because of your deep devotion to me. I wanted to give you the position of Imperial Concubine after unifying the world, but now..." Qi Chuanwu lowered his voice, his tone full of gloom, "You are very naughty, Chaoyue."

Qi Chuanwu didn't say the rest of the words.

But Huo Chaoyue knew.

Every time Qi Chuanwu complained that she was not obedient enough, she would face various punishments.

The better punishment is kneeling, copying scriptures, and being quiet.

And it almost happened... Huo Chaoyue didn't want to think about it.

In a flash, Huo Chaoyue's eyes flickered to the shimmering Imperial Lake a few steps behind him. The outline of the pavilion in the center of the lake was clearly visible in the moonlight, and the nine-curve stone bridge connecting it to the shore was narrow and slippery. In an instant, a nearly crazy yet brilliant plan took shape!

"The position of imperial concubine? You are a little hostage abandoned by your motherland, how dare you talk nonsense!" Huo Chaoyue raised her head suddenly. Instead of the fear or pleading that Qi Chuanwu expected, her face showed an extremely dazzling smile with endless sarcasm.

Her loud laughter echoed in the night: "Arrogant! Qi Chuanwu, open your eyes and look. You are standing within the palace walls of my Great Yue! A hostage, and you still want to unify the world? You are really dreaming!"

"Huo-Chao-Yue!" Qi Chuanwu's reason was completely burned out by her disobedience and humiliation. The veins on his forehead were throbbing and he just wanted to capture her.

Huo Chaoyue was waiting for this moment! The moment he pounced on her, she dodged to the side with great agility, and reached out to push Qi Chuanwu, who was unable to control his strength.

Qi Chuanwu was so enraged that he didn't even notice his surroundings, let alone Huo Chaoyue, who was exerting all his strength. The huge inertia carried him stumbling forward.

"Ah!" Qi Chuanwu only felt an irresistible force coming from the side and behind. His body completely lost balance and fell straight into the cold and dark lake!

"Pfft!!!"

There was a huge sound of something falling into the water, and the water splashed high.

The cold lake water instantly flooded his head, and the sudden choking made it difficult for Qi Chuanwu to keep his body steady.

"Cough cough! You...!" Qi Chuanwu struggled on the water, his eyes full of anger shot at Huo Chaoyue, and he stretched out his hands in a panic to climb ashore.

Huo Chaoyue stood on the shore, snorted coldly, and found a thick stick from somewhere, and hit Qi Chuanwu on the head and face without mercy!

Her face was ice-cold, and her eyes seemed to hold knives. Silently and forcefully, over and over again, she vented all the grievances and resentment she had accumulated in her previous life!

At this moment, Huo Chaoyue really wanted to kill Qi Chuanwu directly!

But... it's not the time yet.

She took a deep breath and saw that Qi Chuanwu's breathing was weak, his struggling movements became smaller, and he was about to sink into the water, so she started calling for help.

In the silent night, the sounds of hurried footsteps, the clashing of armor, and the exclamations of palace maids were heard from far away, and the dotted lanterns and torches quickly gathered towards the lake.

Many people gathered by the lake. After they first showed concern for their own princess, they discovered Qi Chuanwu struggling and thrashing in the icy water like a drowned chicken.

His clothes were all soaked and stuck to his body. His crown was askew and his hair was disheveled. He looked like a drowning dog!

Huo Chaoyue raised the corners of her lips silently. "Although this Wei hostage offended me first, I cannot watch him die. Someone, please pull him out."
