JueChen, should JueChen
Vol V Chapter 34
The next day, I met Murong Hong. This should be the second time I met this Regional King. At H's wedding ceremony.
He was the only son of the late Emperor's youngest brother, Murong Feiye, and Murong Feiye was the only prince who did not participate in the struggle for the throne. It was because of his weak body that everyone said he would not live past his prime.
In the end, this prince did die on his twentieth birthday. However, he did not die of illness. Instead, he died from blocking a sword for his royal brother. At that time, Murong Hong was not even three years old. The late emperor thought that he had lost his blessing at such a young age and felt that he had let down his brother, so he brought him along and raised him more carefully than his own son.
He looked a little like Murong Ze, but his actions were clearly a replica of Murong Zhan.
He was young and mature, always talking about the country and the world. He looked at people without looking sideways, and he could stare at you until your scalp went numb.
But why was this kid here at this moment? Could it be that he had also received an imperial edict? Murong? Is H worried about the safety of his brothers, or is he looking down on our strength?
Of course, the truth was that Murong Hong had acted on his own accord. There was no decree at all. He had run over so brazenly. Moreover, he had been with Elysium's Ying Juechen last night. Of course, he didn't know that Ying Juechen was the vice sect master of the Heavenly Gates. He only knew that he was the head of the Juechen Villa, the richest family in Yangzhou. There was a saying in the Celestial Empire that the south should have ten thousand people in the north. Ying Juechen was a famous merchant on the surface. He had only accumulated wealth in ten years, unlike the ten thousand fort in the north, which was the result of several generations of accumulation.
But what about the truth?
This benevolent and graceful young master was actually the leader of the assassins!
When Murong Hong came, I was feeling a little uncomfortable. I hurriedly greeted him and returned to the backyard. Just from this encounter, I knew that this kid didn't like me. His eyes were clearly disdainful, but he wanted to greet me because of etiquette. Seeing his angry appearance, I secretly laughed. It was also because he called me Brother Hong smoothly that I took advantage of him.
Actually, although he is the same age as me, he was born in the same year, while I was born in the golden autumn of October.
Walking on the road, I thought of something-
"Azurepeak, I'm not going back to my room. I heard that General Manager Ji has woken up, so I'll go take a look.”
"Yes, Princess Consort!"
Ji Xiang's expression wasn't too good. His face was pale as he leaned against the couch and was saying something to a guard. When he saw me enter, he got up in a hurry. I hurriedly stopped him."Mo Dong, I heard that you just woke up.”
Azurepeak held him down and helped him lie down. He apologized to me,"Actually, the injury isn't serious. The poison on the hidden weapon is also very ordinary.”
I smiled slightly and dismissed the guard from earlier. I also asked Xiao Jing to bring the Qi Replenishing Three Yuan Soup that I ordered to be stewed in the kitchen to nourish the wounded.
"Anaesthetic? Could it be that those people still want to capture us alive?”
Ji Xiang curled his lips contemptuously and said with a snort,""Dream on!"
This fellow occasionally revealed his true nature-arrogance!
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. When he saw this, he felt that he had made a slip of the tongue and was embarrassed.
At this moment, Little Jing came in with a tonic. Ji Xiang declined, and Little Jing was somewhat displeased, saying,""How can you not know what's good for you? Although this soup was not personally stewed by the princess consort and the recipe was personally passed down by the princess consort, you still want to make excuses?”
Ji Xiang immediately revealed a scared expression, took the bowl and drank it in one gulp. I actually felt that he did indeed have some redeeming qualities.
"You should take good care of yourself. Qing Styx is taking care of those guards now. It's good for you to rest!”
The little baby in my stomach was getting more and more restless. I really couldn't sit still. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, I was about to take my leave. Before I left, I heard Ji Xiang's voice. That tone actually had some blame. He said,"Does wangfei really only look at people at first glance?”
I was speechless, but that was the truth.
"Qingfeng, I really can't stand the pain anymore. I don't know what's going on. Send me back quickly. Xiao Jing, go and call Doctor Zhai over.”
I gritted my teeth as I spoke. My forehead was covered in cold sweat. What exactly happened?
Xiao Jing panicked and asked,"What's wrong? What should we do?" What should we do?"
I forced a smile." Hurry up and call the doctor!”
Azurepeak was calm. He picked me up and used his qinggong. I saw that I was in my own courtyard. However, I didn't expect Azurepeak to suddenly stop at the door and stare straight at someone in the courtyard.
The pain caused my brain to freeze for a moment, and my eyes were a little blurry…
I endured the pain and looked up at that person. It was a man in embroidered clothes standing against the wind.
"Azurepeak, quickly send me in. I can't wait any longer!”
Azurepeak looked down at me and saw that my face was covered in cold sweat.
"Manor Lord Ying, can you allow me to send my master to settle down first before arguing with you?”
Villa Head Ying? Could it be Ying Juechen?
I looked at Azurepeak questioningly and he nodded.
Ying Juechen didn't even look at me and only said to Azurepeak,""You actually became a woman's servant. How disappointing!”
I laughed in my heart. Ying Juechen, just you wait. One day, I'll let you know that you're actually led by a woman.
Azurepeak ignored him and sent me straight in, but I was stopped by him when I passed by him.
I was unhappy to see him stop me. You actually don't have any human scent at all. Can't you see that you're about to die? And it would be a lie to say that he wasn't surprised. How did he enter the manor? Or the inner court? Or is it such a coincidence that it's in my courtyard? Moreover, his target was Azurepeak.
"Madam, can you let me take your pulse?”
I didn't even think about it and only rebuked angrily,"Impudent!"
Just this one sentence consumed quite a bit of my Yuan Qi. I broke out in cold sweat and my voice was trembling.
Ying Juechen raised his eyebrows and mocked,"As expected of a relative of the royal family. You're full of confidence!"”
Azurepeak didn't bother with him and flew over. However, I didn't know that the person actually dared to pull my sleeve. I was embarrassed and angry for a moment. I waved my hand and slapped him, but I didn't rub against him at all.
"Ying Juechen, you are too rude."
Aiyo, my dear husband is here!
Seeing my pale face and limp in Azurepeak's arms, he quickly took it and asked anxiously,"What happened?"
I didn't wait for Azurepeak to reply and rushed to say,"I was fine at first, but this person scared me and affected the fetus. It hurts!”
Of course, I'm not good to begin with, but I just had to frame this guy like this.
Murong Cang was indeed furious and said to Murong Honghou,""Hong, is this your friend? How dare he offend the princess consort and be so rude? Someone come-"
"Your Highness!"
"Throw him out!"
Murong Hong quickly came out to plead," Fourth Brother, this might be a misunderstanding. Villa Head Ying is also a reputable person in the martial arts world. I'm afraid this isn't good." I'll give Aunt Wang an explanation after I get to the bottom of it. What do you think?”
Murong Cang did not speak. I stared straight at Murong Hong and glanced at him. Before Murong Cang could speak, I suddenly shouted,""Ah-"
"What's wrong?" Murong Cang was shocked.
I squeezed out a tear." Send me back quickly. I can't hold on anymore!"”
Murong Cang glared angrily at Ying Juechen. Just then, Doctor Zhai came in and examined me.
When Ying Juechen saw Doctor Zhai, he was slightly shocked but also thoughtful.
It was not a big deal. It was probably because he was frightened yesterday and had a cold today. The child was also fine. Only then did everyone relax. Otherwise…who knows how Murong Cang would kill someone.
After everyone left, I pulled Murong Cang and said,"This Ying Juechen doesn't seem to be easy to deal with. I can't figure out his background for the time being. It seems that he knows Azurepeak, but he doesn't know that Azurepeak is a member of the Elysium.”
Murong Cang was not happy and said coldly,""Why are you still so desperate at a time like this? Don't worry about this matter. I'll handle it. Azurepeak, you did a terrible job today!”
I knew he wasn't happy that Azurepeak would carry me around, but it wasn't like he didn't know that he was jealous.
I nodded as a compromise. In the end, I reminded him,"No matter what kind of person this Ying Juechen is, we have to at least give him some power!”
I'm a woman. Offending a woman will result in nothing!
___________________________________________________________________________
As the voices faded away, the room suddenly fell silent. I even had the illusion that everything had come to an end.
The pain gradually dissipated. I opened my eyes and looked at the tasseled curtain above my head. I was really frightened just now. That pain was even more intense than when I was knocked away by Wuluo that day. That was because it happened in an instant, but now it was intermittent. I secretly gritted my teeth. It would be fine if I had a daughter, but if it was a son, I would f * ck him. Unfilial!
He didn't know how Murong Cang would teach Murong Hong a lesson. As for Ying Juechen, he probably couldn't beat him up just like that. Moreover, according to his attitude, he knew our identity, but he still dared to speak rudely. Therefore, he did not necessarily take Wang Ye and Wang Fei seriously. If he was not really arrogant and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, then he was so scheming that people could not figure it out. I personally prefer the latter.
To deal with such a person, one had to be more unpredictable and more confident than him.
Ying Juechen was able to sit firmly as the Heavenly Gates 'vice sect leader for ten years at the age of thirty. His subordinates were all like wolves and tigers. He was definitely not simple. If I attributed him to Ji Xiang's youthful vigor, it would be a great mistake.
There should be some personal conflict between him and Azurepeak. Today, he came to investigate. 30% was for this reason, and 70% was probably to investigate the actual situation of the Imperial Residence. After all, the imperial court had already announced the Martial Arts Circle Convention, and King Tianli was personally hosting it.
As a result, many martial artists were restless. Some were guessing the imperial court's intentions, while others wanted to rely on the imperial court. They all had their own thoughts, and none of them were easy to deal with.?
During this period of time, I had been pondering about the way out for the Elysium. The Elysium could no longer continue to walk the old path of my father. Why couldn't the people of the Elysium be exposed? It was because they were killers. They had an open identity, and they even made this open identity even more like a fish in water. However, as long as the Cult Master summoned them, they had no choice but to go through those days of licking blood from the blades, even if I, the Cult Master, was still hiding and couldn't reveal my identity. Tang Xi and Tang Fei were such close siblings, but they still did not know each other's identities. In the entire Heavenly Gates, the only person who could see through everything was Jianqiu. Even Qingfeng only read some reports, and the source of these reports was not Jianqiu?
The people of Elysium were extremely disciplined. It was just that because of the darkness of this profession, they had never seen the light of day. I had always planned to remove the malignant tumor in the sect, and it would be best if I could whitewash the Heaven's Gate. At the very least, I wouldn't be able to kill fellow disciples because I didn't know them.
Ten years ago, Ying Juechen was just a nameless assassin under the Vermilion Bird Sect. However, because he had accidentally killed the vice sect leader at that time, his ability was recognized by his father and he was promoted despite all opposition. Azurepeak had mentioned this to me before. At that time, my intuition told me that it was a conspiracy. It was obvious that Imperial Father discovered that the Vice Sect Leader had second thoughts and used Ying Juechen's hands to kill that person. Then, he said,'The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple.'
In fact, how many people didn't know the reason? It was just a scheme.
To think that his father, the emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, could obtain absolute victory in the darkest and cruelest place in the world, how could his methods of playing politics not be more than enough to use on a martial arts sect?
The fact that his father had given such an important task to Ying Juechen at that time meant that the young man who was only twenty years old at that time was definitely worthy of his trust. However, ten years could really change too many things. Being in power and wealth for ten years could completely turn a hot-blooded and loyal youth into a cunning fox. Qing Feng said that he trusted Ying Juechen, but I still had my own thoughts.
In fact, ever since I came here, I have never trusted anyone unconditionally, including Murong Cang. Wasn't the promise of life and death the result of time?
How could I believe Ying Juechen just because of Azurepeak's words? Moreover, there were many suspicious points about him.
Just as I was letting my imagination run wild, the door creaked open and a person came in. It was Ying Juechen whom I was 'thinking about' at the moment.
I didn't even move. He sat down at the table in the room without any restraint. He poured himself a cup of tea and began to savor it.
I'm just a little curious. Why isn't Azurepeak here?
"Wangfei is probably blaming Azurepeak for not being here right now, right?”
He knew what I was thinking.
I didn't say anything. I just said indifferently,"Doesn't Village Head Ying feel that it's disgraceful to barge in like this?”
He gave a strange smile and said,"Does the princess care about these small details?" Didn't you not care about being hugged around by the guards, then how was Jue Chen's action disrespectful? Could it be that because I'm not Azurepeak, Princess Consort is unhappy?”
When I heard him say such words, I was so angry that I almost fainted. I shouted,"Men!"
After a while, I frowned…
He laughed even more heartily." I don't know why His Highness is so angry that he called Azurepeak to give him a lecture. Although you left two guards and one maid here, I still have a way to let them rest first.”
"How did you get in?"
"Good question!" He nodded,"The defense of this Tide-stirring Villa is so strong that water cannot enter. But perhaps because of this, His Highness is too confident in the guards of the villa. He only placed two guards here and called Azurepeak to the front hall for questioning. As for me…" He paused and smiled."It's just that it's the opposite!"
I calmed down and thought of a question."If it wasn't for Murong Hong, would you really have entered so easily?”
"The Princess Consort is not an ordinary woman. She was able to suppress the officials and help the new emperor ascend the throne in the Divine Palace. That's right, Jue Chen was able to meet the princess consort alone so smoothly all thanks to Qing Junwang's help. If it wasn't for him holding back the prince, Ying Juechen would have been beaten to death by now.”Although he spoke like this, he always had a disdainful expression. Moreover, from his words, he knew a lot about the court. So…
I can't just look at this matter from the perspective of the pugilistic world. I'm afraid that he might be involved with someone in the imperial court, or…he might even want to take the Elysium there?
"Ying Juechen, do you think I'll look at you differently just because you're doing this? You said that I'm not worthy to be the master of Azurepeak, then let me tell you, there's no one more suitable than me in this world. It's you, Ying Juechen. Do you believe that one day, I'll make you kneel in front of me and you won't dare to say a single word?”
He smiled faintly." Princess Consort, you probably don't know. Five years ago, when the late Emperor came to Yangzhou, he allowed me not to kneel. Are you older than the Emperor?”
His words were full of mockery. I sneered in my heart. There will be good days for you!
"I said that there would be such a day, and you were willing!”
"Princess Consort, are you going to capture my heart and make me kneel at your feet?" he shouted exaggeratedly.”
I knew that this person was frivolous and mean, especially when he was targeting me. He might have been angry at first, but now I treated him as a fart. (Editor's note: Good children don't swear.)
"Tell me your purpose for coming here. Don't risk your life to come here and work for nothing.”
"If I say that I only want to see the true face of the number one beauty in the world, would wangfei believe me?”As he spoke, he leaned closer. Actually, we had always been talking through the screen. Now, we were close.
"Of course I believe you!"”
"Oh?" He did not believe it.
I glanced at him." Aren't you such a boring person? If it was anyone else, I might be suspicious, but as for Ying Juechen…if he wasn't a scoundrel, then what was he?”
If they were to compare whose mouth was the most venomous, who else could it be but me?
He was stunned for a moment and looked at me blankly. I looked back at him without any embarrassment.
"Your skin is extraordinarily thick!"
I laughed out loud when I heard that." You're not the first person to say that. Also, why aren't you addressing me as 'you'?”
His expression changed, but he didn't say anything. I took advantage of the victory to pursue him."Ying Juechen, don't look down on me, a relative of the royal family. Aren't you also seeking refuge with a relative of the royal family? Could it be that you, Ying Juechen, have the ability to act alone? Let me tell you, you don't know as much as I do about the matters in the imperial court. The Qing Commandery Prince and you are both generals, not kings. The king you want to serve might think that you are doing something unnecessary. Besides, Ying Juechen, do you think you can completely control this power outside the imperial court? Is there no one more qualified than you?"
For example, the real sect leader, me!
His eyes were sharp and murderous. He reached out and grabbed my throat. I held his hand and said coldly,"Don't be so stupid. I still want to fight with you. I don't want you to die too quickly.”
"You're the one who's going to die quickly, aren't you?" His voice was very cold. If he used a little more strength at this moment, it would be the end of one corpse and two lives, but I knew that he didn't dare.
"You can try."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm just not afraid of you."
He narrowed his eyes and increased the strength of his hand. I suddenly felt difficulty breathing.
"Ying Juechen, you don't have the courage to face the consequences!”
He suddenly let go and muttered,"I can't bear this ending, but there's someone who can."”
I sneered,"He does, but he won't."”
He was stunned for a moment before nodding." Yes, I underestimated you, Yunxi!”
He actually called me by my name. I wasn't surprised. This person is just very rude. He called me by my name like this, which is even more tolerable than his enigmatic way of calling me princess consort. I sat up straight and instructed him,"Get me a glass of water. I'm a little thirsty.”
He raised his eyebrows and poured some water for me. Then, he tilted his head and looked at me. I took a sip of water and returned the cup to him. I'll temporarily order him around.
The veins on his forehead throbbed, but he still took it. I was in a good mood and said lazily,"Little brother Hong won't be able to keep wangye for long. Villa lord Ying's visit this time is almost over. Let's chat next time. This princess is tired so I won't send you off.”
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. In the end, he said calmly,"You won the first round!"
I shook my head and waved my index finger. I smiled brightly."Wrong, you can't be my opponent. You're tossing and turning like this. You can only say that you want to see how I subdue you. You can wait and see!”
He furrowed his brows and looked at my charming smile. His face was unfathomable. In the end, he coldly said,"Women shouldn't hold too many things in their hands. Your hands are too small to hold.”
I smiled, still smiling." Who said I wanted to hold those things? But Ying Juechen, you…will definitely be my beloved subordinate. Otherwise, there is only death."”
"Are you overestimating yourself or underestimating me?”Although he wasn't as disdainful as he was at the beginning, he was still mocking me.
"No, some things are destined. Unless you give up everything you have now. Think about who gave you everything you have now. Forget it, it would be boring if he said too much.”
He was shocked."You-" He pointed at me."Who are you?”
