Chapter 4 Prince

"It's you, Li Qianyin."

He let go of his hand, stood up, and looked at her condescendingly.

Li Qianyin knelt straight, relaxed her stiff limbs, and then raised her head to look at the person.

Wearing purple clothes with dragon patterns and a golden crown and jade belt, he looks dignified, handsome and high-spirited. He is about the same age as Li Hexi who broke in yesterday, and is only in his mid-twenties.

Li Qianyin's eyes were squinted by the midday sun. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then she looked like she suddenly realized: "Li Oh! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Prince Li Congmin frowned without trace.

In the past, when the girl saw him, she would either blush or cry and pester her endlessly. Sometimes he would be willing to tease her.

But the way she looked at him today was cold and empty.

She looked him up and down again and again, making Li Congmin feel a little scared.

"Li Qianyin, you are really a capricious woman. Why, you don't recognize me now that you have a new love?"

He regretted the words as soon as he said them. He originally followed his mother's intention to ask Li Qianyin to provoke him proactively, and then take the opportunity to punish her for treason.

But in this situation, he seemed like a resentful little woman who had been betrayed.

So the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Li Congmin flicked his sleeves, turned his back, and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect you to be like this now, Li Qianyin, when I think of how you pestered me in the past,

I just feel sick.”

Her limbs were so numb that they felt like they were about to be dislocated, and she had consumed too much Yuan Qi just to punish Yun Yin.

Li Qianyin supported her body in severe pain and slowly stood up.

"Then I would like to congratulate Your Highness."

"Congratulations? Are you afraid that you are too stupid to kneel down?"

Li Congmin laughed angrily and didn't care when Li Qianyin stood up.

He turned around and looked at the pale and weak face of the girl in front of him, and restrained his urge to hit her.

"Okay, then you can tell me, where does this joy come from?"

Li Qianyin took two steps back, saluted him, and then said: "My congratulations to Your Highness for understanding my true identity, getting rid of my entanglement as soon as possible, and resolving a worry for Your Highness."

"What you said is true, but I don't understand. General Zhaonan has a strict family tradition, but why did you do such an unfair and unclean thing? Is this all true?"

"Your Highness, what is true and false in all things in this world? Everyone in the world has a yardstick in their mind. Even if I tell the whole Luoyang today that I have been framed, who will believe it? Your Highness, do you believe it?"

After saying this, he was a little shaken.

Just looking at the girl in front of me, her bloody Jifu was dirty and messy, but her expression was cold and indifferent. Even though her appearance had not changed at all, she was completely different from the past.

"Of course I don't believe it, Li Qianyin, and you don't have to excuse yourself."

He was very aware of everything the queen had done, and even personally participated in some arrangements. Even if he sympathized with her, so what, they were not in the same camp after all.

King Yi, General Zhaonan and the entire family must die.

Including the woman in front of me.

"Li Qianyin, I would like to say once again that all of this was caused by your own misconduct. You are not worthy of marrying into the royal family. Today, my father will not punish you for the death penalty for the sake of the late general, but he will divorce you on behalf of the crown prince."

Wife, I will drive you out of the palace and fend for yourself."

Li Congmin lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.

Although I don't know why Li Qianyin can remain so calm before life and death, but since she doesn't fall into the trap, she can only find another way.

Wouldn't it be easy for an orphan girl whose reputation has been ruined to vanish into ashes at the feet of the Emperor?

The two were silent, but secretly there was a silent contest.

Yes, if you want to lure a snake out of its hole, you must let the snake see the prey and think it will be eaten sooner or later, right?

"So -" Li Qianyin knelt down again and saluted in the direction of the queen's chamber, "I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your grace and to express my gratitude to the Queen."

"If there is nothing wrong with His Highness the Crown Prince, I will leave first because I am afraid of disturbing His Highness and the Queen's peace."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped again.

"Miss Li, please wait a moment."

He is the queen's attendant.

"Today, the Queen is not in good health and cannot welcome guests. I will give you a glass of wine."

Li Qianyin and Li Congmin were stunned at the same time when they heard this. Neither of them expected that the queen would be so impatient that she would make such a move before leaving the palace.

"Thank you, the Queen, for your kindness." Before she took the wine glass, she keenly noticed the faint bitter taste in the wine.

She smiled and bowed again.

"My daughter is so unlucky. After this incident, I have no face to see the empress, and even more to say no words to face my parents. Today I will lend flowers to the Buddha, apologize for my sins with wine, and comfort the souls of my parents."

In front of everyone, she flipped her wrist and poured the entire glass of poisonous wine onto the ground.

"Li Qianyin!"

In the palace, the queen heard the palace attendant's reply and smashed several jade cups in anger.

"Queen mother, calm down." Li Congmin called the palace attendants away, leaned down and picked up the fragments of the jade lamp on the ground one by one.

"Queen Mother, King Yi and General Zhaonan are dead. Li Qianyin, an orphan girl, must not be able to make any trouble even if she has all the abilities."

He handed over a new cup of tea.

"But the remnants of King Yi in the DPRK have not yet been cleared, and General Zhaonan has lost his prestige in the military. If we want to solve these problems, we have to let them commit some mistakes."

"Now Li Qianyin has made a huge mistake and is despised by everyone in Luoyang City. Those high-ranking dignitaries are all underestimating others - Queen Mother, the stage is set up. You can sit firmly in the middle palace and watch General Zhaonan.

The whole family will dig their own graves."

While the queen and the prince were making plans, Li Qianyin had already left the palace.

What happened today was truly a desperate act.

Fortunately, she was determined that today's emperor Li Dansu would love his virtuous reputation and would not severely punish the orphaned daughter of an old minister.

She also expected that even if the queen wanted to kill her, she would not directly take her life.

Only in this way did he escape.

He broke off the engagement and was expelled from the palace.

This is exactly what she wants to achieve with this move.

If she were in the royal palace, how could she find those people who had the intention to kill her every step of the way?

It doesn’t matter whether it’s the emperor Li Dan or the queen and prince.

There is also the person from Cross Gate who was taken away by the young man last night. He disappeared without any reason and will definitely be investigated by them.

The situation is treacherous, and there are ghosts and ghosts everywhere. Even though there are dangers inside and outside the imperial city, humiliation, rumors and disputes continue.

Now that you've entered the game, let's make peace with it as it comes.

It was getting late, and Li Qianyin was thinking carefully, dragging his aching body towards the direction of the General's Mansion.

Only now did she have a chance to calm down.

Even the Demon Lord, who had died once, could hardly breathe due to the sudden loss of his Yuan Qi body protection and the exhaustion of his energy in just two days.

Walking to the alley in front of the mansion, you can see from a distance that there is no one in front of the general's mansion, it is dilapidated and there is not even a light.

Li Qianyin was stunned and stumbled on the stake left by the vegetable farmer during the day.

The world was spinning, and the refreshing fragrance of bamboo rushed towards me in a trance.

She couldn't hold it on anymore and passed out in an instant.
