The princess is killing like crazy again

The beaded curtain on the side swayed, and the gold and jade items collided and made sounds.

Under the glittering gold and jade, Li Yaozhi's slender eyebrows seemed to be dyed indigo, his pair of black jade eyes were half closed, and he walked out of the compartment calmly.

He still had that gentle smile on his face, and his gentle face was filled with the compassion and gentleness of a god, as if he was truly indifferent to the world and had no desires or requests.

Li Yaozhi came over from the side, still self-disciplined and polite, with his usual smile on his face, just right, "Your Highness..."

There was a crisp "pop" sound and the candle flame flickered twice.

Amidst everyone's silence, Li Yaozhi, who had been slapped on the face, touched his stinging cheek and looked in shock at Xiao Yurong, who had just slapped him.

Xiao Yurong seemed to be furious, his eyes sparkling with watery light under the candlelight, "Are you plotting against me too?"

"Your Highness..." Li Yaozhi shouted blankly.

No one in this world can be nice to another person as a matter of course and without reason.

Just as her father and brothers treat her well because they are connected by blood, her subjects treat her well because of the loyalty between the ruler and his subjects.

Li Yaozhi treated her very well. He helped her, cared for her, felt sorry for her, and indulged her. He was thoughtful and meticulous in every aspect.

It even exceeded the loyalty between the ruler and his subjects, and the friendship between friends, and made Xiao Yurong almost panic.

Even Wang Wanru gritted her teeth and pushed her to the position of power for her own status and freedom, but Li Yaozhi stayed by her side without expecting anything in return and gave her everything.

Not for fame, not for power, not for wealth, not for beauty. So what is it for?

But as long as they are alive, they should have their own desires, even if Li Yaozhi has been suppressed by family ethics for so long. ?

What does Li Yaozhi want?

Xiao Yurong rarely understood Li Yaozhi, but she always trusted Li Yaozhi.

Even though Li Yaozhi in her previous life had fanned the flames and betrayed her trust, she still relied on Li Yaozhi.

Because Li Yaozhi has been with her for too long.

At this point, is there anything Xiao Yurong doesn't understand?

This was because Li Yaozhi had already reached an agreement with Liu Pinjue, agreed to Liu Pinjue's requirements and conditions, and deliberately wrote a letter to lure her over for a detailed discussion.

Because of Li Yaozhi's letter, she dragged her sick body, thinking about him day and night, worried so much that she could not sleep, and rushed to Rucheng at full speed. But it turned out that this was a trap set by Li Yaozhi and Liu Pinjue?

The Fuyang Guards couldn't find Yi Yan, maybe that was Li Yaozhi's trick?

Li Yaozhi concealed the news and whereabouts, and at the same time sent people to hunt down Yi Yan and hide Yi Yan's tracks.

Li Yaozhi knew that she was suspicious, so he used himself as bait to get her to come over.

He didn't care at all about her anxiety and her heartbreak.

A person who is too affectionate will tend to be suspicious. It is precisely because she is suspicious by nature that she especially cherishes the moments of sincerity in the past.

There are only a few people in this world that Xiao Yurong cares about. She has lost countless people on the road to seizing power. Li Yaozhi is one of the most important people to her.

Her father and brother, her uncle, her staff, her old friends, her teacher...

Looking back across thousands of miles, old friends are no longer with us.

But Li Yaozhi still wanted to force her.

At that moment, Xiao Yurong really wanted to kill.

A cold light flashed in Jin Yu and everyone's eyes, and Xiao Yurong pulled out Ye Xing.

Li Yaozhi subconsciously used his hand to block the dagger. The blade sank into his flesh and blood dripped down the sword onto his collarbone.

The sharp tip of the knife was only inches away from Li Yaozhi's throat.

"Your Highness wants to kill me, why?" Li Yaozhi slightly widened his eyes, and his pupils swayed twice, "Is it because of my deception, or because of Yi Yan?"

Xiao Yurong's silence and trembling arms seemed to be unbearable for Li Yaozhi.

Her falling tears burned Li Yaozhi's fingers that were holding Ye Xing.

Li Yaozhi curled his fingertips and slowly loosened them.

Xiao Yurong's tears seemed to burn his fingertips, and the pain was a thousand times more intense than when he snatched the broken zither from the fire.

He found himself still moved by Xiao Yurong's tears as always.

Blood splattered from his palms onto the ground.

Xiao Yurong once said that his hands should be used for playing the piano and writing, and he shouldn't risk his life for a piano, but now he was injured by her own hands.

Li Yaozhi quickly regained his composure and spoke in a gentle tone: "If Your Highness wants to kill me, then kill me."

He was like a docile lamb ready to be slaughtered, ready to be sacrificed, and lowered his body.

"If your Highness kills me, the Li family will definitely take revenge. Remember to wipe out the roots." He also reminded Xiao Yurong not to forget to think about his future.

Li Yaozhi politely took a step back and bowed his head, which was the most standard etiquette for a minister: "If the king orders me to die, I have to die. If Your Highness punishes me, Shao Yan will have no complaints."

"What your family loves most is what I hate most, your saintly appearance." Xiao Yurong took a deep breath, as if his internal organs were being torn apart.

Tears fell from her eyes, "Li Yaozhi, do you have a heart?"

It was as if something was about to fall.

As soon as Li Yaozhi raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Yurong's tears shattered.

It felt like being burned by the candle flame, and my heart was trembling constantly.

He knelt on the ground and bowed his head, "Your Highness, your words are too kind. Shao Yan is ashamed to accept them."

He lowered his eyes, not wanting to look at Xiao Yurong's heartbroken look.

Li Yaozhi can do whatever he wants to do.

He decided to do something, and he would do it even if it meant his death.

He had decided to be martyred and was willing to bear all the consequences.

But he didn't expect Xiao Yurong to be so angry. Even if he hated him so much... it was okay to hate him. One day, Xiao Yurong would understand.

"Ha..." Xiao Yurong took a step back as if exhausted, covering his face and laughing out loud.

Many times, Xiao Yurong felt that Li Yaozhi was such a terrifying person, even more terrifying than Liu Pinjue, who never showed his emotions and had the power of life and death in his hands.

Li Yaozhi was still forcing her even at this point.

He pressed her in this way, quietly and gently.

Silently and without any trace, he drew a line on the ground to act as a prison.

Li Yaozhi was a man with a miserable life. He could neither love nor hate. He was trapped in a shell made of gold and jade for so long by his family and ethics.

He always smiles at people and is gentle, humble and polite.

But such a person dared to kill eleven important officials of the court, burn down Xiangguo Temple, and turn the temple upside down.

You don't know anything about his thoughts and calculations.

He is cruel to others and even more cruel to himself.

When playing a game of chess, even the person you care about the most, yourself, can be counted in.

Being with such a person, how much courage do you need to love him?

"I know your ambitions. I think you have reasons, difficulties, and grievances for everything you do." Xiao Yurong said, taking a deep breath, "I trust you and rely on you. I even thought countless times that we could really have an ending... I, I have thought about growing old together... Haha..."

She laughed intermittently, as if she was choking with laughter.

She laughed at herself and cried, "I drove the tiger to eat the wolf, but the tiger bit me back."

"Your Highness..." Li Yaozhi saw Xiao Yurong's red eyes, slightly frowned, and looked at him.

Many times, Xiao Yurong would call him by his courtesy name "Shao Yan" at this moment.

But this time Xiao Yurong said, "Li Yaozhi, let's just leave it at that."

Li Yaozhi suddenly froze, as if his breathing had also frozen at this moment.

"Even you are plotting against me...ha..." Xiao Yurong smiled and took a step back.

Under Li Yaozhi's frightened gaze, Xiao Yurong vomited blood, the world spun around, and he fell into darkness.

Xiao Yurong knew that he would not live long, he had always known it.

She lay on the bed, looking at the empty ceiling.

Li Yaozhi knelt beside her bed, holding the boiled medicine, and said in a tone that was almost like begging: "Your Highness..."

"It's useless. Why don't you understand?" Xiao Yurong raised the corners of his lips slightly.

From within her chest that seemed to be squeezed to the point of suffocation, she actually secretly felt a pleasure like revenge.

The more painful Li Yaozhi felt at this moment, the happier she felt.

The same was true for Liu Pinjue. She knew that Liu Pinjue had come to her when she was half asleep and half awake.

He just stood at the head of the bed and looked at her without saying a word. Xiao Yurong didn't know what Liu Pinjue's expression was at that time, whether it was annoyance or silence.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

It is enough that Liu Pinjue is unhappy. If she is unhappy, she will make everyone unhappy.

So, the happier she was, the more self-destructive she became.

Li Yaozhi seemed to have thought of something, anxiously grasped Xiao Yurong's hand and begged: "Yi Yan... Your Highness, I will find Yi Yan back, can you drink some medicine?"

"You find him back." Xiao Yurong rolled his eyes.

"Okay, if he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. Your Highness, don't worry, Shao Yan will definitely bring him back." Li Yaozhi said hurriedly.

Xiao Yurong rubbed his fingertips in a somewhat irritated manner. Children raised in aristocratic families are all very smart. Even the scale of their speech cannot be biased in the slightest. Even if they talk too much, they will make mistakes.

Especially Li Yaozhi, Xiao Yurong knew this too well.

So she smiled and said, "No, I want to see Yi Yan alive. If you bring back his corpse, you can bring my coffin back to Yujing as well."

Having said that, it is impossible for Li Yaozhi to play any tricks anymore.

Without getting Qionghua, Xiao Yurong refused to agree to any of Liu Pinjue's conditions.

Li Yaozhi wanted to save Xiao Yurong, so he could only put his hope on Xiao Yurong's willingness to cooperate.

"Your Highness, if he comes back safely, will you take the medicine well?" Li Yaozhi asked.

Xiao Yurong did not answer, and Li Yaozhi immediately stood up and walked out, "Go, find Yi Yan back alive."

Li Yaozhi's ability to take action is amazing, and Yi Yan's ability to take action is also pretty good.

Li Yaozhi just spread the rumor, and Ye Yiyan, covered in night dew, climbed through the window and entered Xiao Yurong's room.

Liu Pinjue and Li Yaozhi acquiesced to this scene.

"Yi Yan!" Xiao Yurong climbed up from the bed and stumbled towards Yi Yan barefoot.

Yi Yan opened his arms, took two steps forward, and caught Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong in his arms was thin and fragile, with slightly cold skin that was trembling slightly, like a butterfly with broken wings.

"Why are you waiting for me?" Yi Yan asked softly.

Xiao Yurong's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth as if he hated something. He said, "If you dare to leave me again... you're done."

Yi Yan fell silent.

After being chased and blocked by Liu Pinjue and Li Yaozhi, he began to escape again.

This was nothing to him, because in his era thousands of years later, he was used to hiding his identity and living in seclusion in the city.

There was nothing to look forward to, and for him, having fun and staying alive were more important things.

Coming to this era was purely accidental, and Yi Yan had not originally planned to stay here for too long.

While on a mission, a torn space-time rift led him here, and after a brief period of being lost, he had found a way.

As long as the space-time rift opens under some special opportunity, he can go back.

Although he has no nostalgia for that era, it was also his era. He came here with the thoughts of later generations and would not like or approve of this place.

For Yi Yan, this era thousands of years ago was just a dream and a game.

But Xiao Yurong happened to be in this era.

She is so special.

At a certain moment, Yi Yan really felt sorry for her when she calmly said that it didn't matter and no longer believed in forever.

So Yi Yan took the initiative to help her and came to Yunshui.

While fleeing after the defeat and being hunted by Li Yaozhi's men, Yi Yan encountered the opportunity to open the time rift.

In fact, leaving at that time was a good choice.

Because Yi Yan has vaguely sensed this era's rejection of him. Sooner or later, he will be kicked back to his own era. It would be much better for him to leave on his own initiative.

And if he left, he wouldn't have to face the death of Xiao Yurong in the sixth year of Zhaoxi in history.

He had no idea whether something this big would change.

Most importantly, he understood that the reason Li Yaozhi was hunting him down was for the Qionghua that might be able to cure Xiao Yurong, and he could get it as long as he left here and disappeared.

No matter how you think about it, it was a perfect opportunity, but Yi Yan hesitated and missed the chance.

He thought of Xiao Yurong, and his collapse and loneliness. If he left at this time, how much support would Xiao Yurong have?

So he came back and returned to Xiao Yurong.

He knew that Xiao Yurong had sensed something, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.

"Don't you want me to leave? We once said that I can't stay here, by your side forever." Yi Yan lowered his eyes.

Xiao Yurong slightly broke away from his embrace, raised her eyes and looked at him, "I regret it, I need you now."

Yi Yan reached out and touched Xiao Yurong’s cold face.

Xiao Yurong suddenly started coughing, and she turned her head away and coughed for a long time.

Yi Yan silently patted her back until she calmed down.

"Forget it, whatever you want. I won't live much longer anyway." Xiao Yurong pulled away.

Yi Yan sat down beside Xiao Yurong's bed and looked up at her, "As long as I leave and agree to Liu Pinjue's conditions, Qionghua may be able to save you."

"I don't need it." Xiao Yurong's breathing became faster. "I won't agree to any of his conditions, and I don't need a life-saving medicine based on deception and calculation."
