Zongzheng Wuyou stared at the woman who was slowly approaching him, his brows were furrowed, expressing his displeasure clearly, when she approached the couch, his evil eyes suddenly became cold and abnormal, shooting out A hint of murderous intent.

Manyao subconsciously paused, it seemed that the rumors about getting close to Wang Buxi's woman were indeed true. She fixedly looked into his evil eyes, opened her red lips lightly, and said with a voice as clear and gentle as the sound of nature, "I heard that His Royal Highness Li Wang is in the court hall, and he has defeated the enemy with a single plan, and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Rong Le has long been admired by his heart, and today he saw His Royal Highness's celestial appearance, and he is even more envious. Rong Le knows that none of his looks and talents can match His Highness, but for the sake of peace between the two countries, I hope His Highness can give Rong Le a Given the opportunity to get to know each other, if after half a year, His Highness Li Wang...you still have no interest in me, then I will be willing to pass it on to someone else without any complaints."

Zongzheng Wuyou squinted at her, he had seen women look at him a lot, and the woman in front of him who said he admired her, there was measurement and expectation in her eyes, but there was no infatuation or admiration in her eyes. Since you don't like it, what is the purpose of saying these words? Why did she want to make an appointment for the second half of the year? Whatever her reason, what does this have to do with him

Zongzheng Wuyou lifted the hem of his clothes and stood in front of her. The movement of getting up was as natural and charming as flowing clouds and flowing water. He looked down at her, and his condescending posture gave her an extremely strong sense of oppression. Her body stiffened instantly, and every nerve was tense, but her eyes were still looking at him motionlessly. Seeing him pursing his lips, he said with a mocking smile: "You want this king to agree to marry you within half a year? It's just a dream."

Man Yao lightly raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Since His Highness Li Wang is so confident, then we might as well make a bet here. I don't know His Highness... dare you or not?"

Zongzheng Wuyou snorted and said with a smile: "The method of provoking generals? How dare you show off in front of me with such a little trick of yours?"

The sunlight outside suddenly dimmed, and the bright light that was originally cast on him became a bit cold at this moment. Against his evil eyes, it was like a dark and humid cold pool, exuding a chilly atmosphere , unknowingly penetrates the heart and soul of people.

Man Yao suppressed the discomfort in his heart, at such a moment, he must not shrink back. She needs to make this bet. Since she cannot escape this political marriage, she must fight for at least half a year more freedom and use this time to choose a husband who suits her. Even if she has no love, she must be able to reach an agreement. After getting married, the two parties will not interfere with each other. Thinking of this, she raised her chin slightly, stared straight at her and said, "Forget it! Could it be that King Li dare not accept this bet? It turns out...His Royal Highness King Li, who is famous in Kyushu, has no confidence in himself!"

There has never been such a woman who can be so calm and fearless in front of him. There was a hint of interest in Zongzheng Wuyou's eyes, and a smile gradually spread over the corners of his mouth, but there was a hint of madness and cruelty in the lightness.

Emperor Lintian felt that this was a good solution, so he said: "This matter will be done according to what Princess Rong Le said, with a period of half a year. Worry-free, if after half a year, you still don't want to marry the princess, I will never force you to you!"

Zongzheng Wuyou suddenly looked back at him, his face turned cold, and said, "Why do you decide for me about my affairs? Even now, if I don't agree, you can't force me!"

These words were spoken so boldly that all the officials' expressions changed, and they secretly said: With the Princess of Qiyun Kingdom present, it is really detrimental to the country's constitution for King Li to disobey His Majesty so repeatedly.

When Emperor Lintian heard this, he was furious, pointed at him, and shouted sharply: "Zongzheng Wuyou, you... are too presumptuous! I, besides being your father, is also the emperor of this country, don't think I can't rule Your sin!"

"Father?...you?" Zongzheng Wuyou raised the corners of his eyes and asked coldly, with a strong sense of irony in his tone. Man Yao was slightly startled, she seemed to see an imperceptible hatred in his eyes, forbearing but deep. Seeing the sudden change of Emperor Lin's complexion and the complex and unspeakable light in his eyes, she couldn't help secretly wondering, what was the reason why Zongzheng Wuyou would not be punished no matter how arrogant he was in front of Emperor Lin

Zongzheng Wuyou laughed wildly, and said again: "Punish my crime? That's good! I just don't know which crime His Majesty wants to punish me for? Defiance of the emperor, disrespect of the imperial order, contempt of imperial power, treason...any one will be fine. It is a serious crime against the Nine Clans! If His Majesty the Emperor does not want to be implicated, please expel me from the royal family as soon as possible, and then convict me."

"You, you..." Lintian Huang was extremely angry, his chest heaved violently, he stared at him speechless, and said after a while: "Okay, okay, okay... You have challenged my patience again and again, thinking that you will never have to enter again This palace, I, I will fulfill you today. Come—"

All the officials were shocked, it seemed that this time, it was for real! The Ninth Prince hastily stepped forward and said: "Father, please calm down! Seventh Brother was just impulsive and said something indiscriminately. I also ask Father to forgive Seventh Brother this time for the sake of Seventh Brother's contribution to repelling the enemy."

One of the ministers echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, this time the defeat of the barbarians in the north is due to King Li's contribution. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and forgive King Li for his disrespect."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" All the officials bowed, even the crown prince, who had been on the sidelines, begged for mercy.

Man Yao glanced at Zongzheng Wuyou, and saw that the expression on his face hadn't changed a bit from the beginning to the end, it seemed that he was never worried about his own life or death, or he was absolutely sure that Emperor Lintian would not really come down. Blame him? On the other hand, Emperor Lintian stared at Zongzheng Wuyou's perfect face in a daze. There were indescribable complex emotions surging in his eyes stained with monstrous anger. In the end, the anger gradually dissipated, leaving only a little bit of sadness and helplessness. . He turned around, waved lightly to his beloved son, and said, "You, step back."

Zongzheng Wuyou said expressionlessly: "There is nothing to do in the future, it's best not to call me into the palace, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't go too far next time!" Yao, with extremely contemptuous tone, said: "And you... an old and ugly woman who also wants to enter the gate of my palace? Let's wait for reincarnation in the next life."

No matter how well-cultivated a person is, he cannot remain indifferent to this repeated sarcasm and sarcasm, not to mention that she has the status of a pro-princess and an equal status with him. Forbearance once is calmness, forbearance twice is self-cultivation, and forbearance many times will make people think she is weak and deceitful. Man Yao couldn't help sneering: "I thought His Highness Li Wang was unparalleled in the world, but I didn't expect him to be such a superficial person. If His Royal Highness Li likes beautiful women, why not go home... Wouldn't it be better to look in the mirror by yourself?" She couldn't just be like this Let him go, for freedom, she will take a gamble.

Before the words were finished, the man in front of him turned sharply, only to hear an ear-piercing clang, a cold light flashed in front of him, and the cold sword energy covered his whole body instantly. At that moment, she seemed to smell the smell of death.

Murderous look emptied. Everyone was stunned, even Emperor Lintian's expression changed drastically, and before Xiao Sha could move in the future, the sword in Zongzheng Wuyou's hand had already been sheathed. The Imperial Guard commander Xiang stayed where he was in shock. The sword in his hand went from unsheathed to unsheathed in the blink of an eye. He didn't even see clearly when Li Wang approached him and how he pulled it out of his hand. the sword

Fast, too fast! Soon, Man Yao could only feel a blur in front of his eyes, as if he had fallen into the ice cave of hell. A sense of fear spontaneously rose from the bottom of her heart, and with the flow of blood, it extended to her limbs and bones, like a dexterous snake, scurrying wildly in her body, arousing chills in her heart.

The entire hall was deadly silent. Everyone opened their eyes wide, not daring to breathe.

Fragments of red silk slowly fell from her eyes, and brushed against the tip of her nose with a whistling breath. The blood-like color danced in the air in the entire hall, as if the heavy snow that was flying in winter had been soaked in blood-like red. On her body, there was only a thin undershirt, and she just stood there like a sculpture, her whole body was cold, and her body was tense and tense.

"Tick, tick..." Suddenly there was the sound of water droplets hitting the brick floor, one drop, two drops, three drops...

Everyone looked at each other in horror, the water drop that was drawn in the air was glowing with a blood-red luster, and it fell from the woman's white sleeve.

The sharp tingling came from the fingertips, her face was pale, but she forced herself to be calm, her eyes still did not dodge or avoid, passing through countless flying pieces of silk, she stared straight at those fearsome evil eyes. If she wasn't the princess of Qiyun Kingdom who came to marry her, she would have died long ago.
