In the huge palace, the civil and military officials and their families dispersed.。。
The wind outside the hall blew, and the swaying branches left mottled shadows on the walls. The sunlight smiled faintly, but it couldn't shine into the hall.
It was very cold. March seemed to have turned into a cold winter.
In the main hall, Xuanyuan Ye sat high up and looked down at the petite figure standing in the middle of the hall. His eyes were cold and arrogant, without a trace of fluctuation. The golden dragon robe was dragged to the ground, and three thousand black hair fell on his shoulders. The golden crown had tassels hanging from it, swaying as he moved his head. The flying dragons on the wall behind him circled around, looking mighty and decisive. He was like the incarnation of the dragon, looking down on the world…
Leng Wanwan stood in the hall and looked at Xuanyuan Ye with a neither servile nor overbearing gaze. She had to admit that this man's imposing manner was extraordinary. She admired how he managed the Tianyao Dynasty to be so prosperous at such a young age and how the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. However, appreciation was appreciation, but what needed to be settled still needed to be settled.
"Tell me, what do you want?”Her petite figure was like a tenacious and proud plum blossom, unafraid of snow and frost, blooming in the depths of winter. The cold voice was like a pearl falling to the ground, crisp and clear, floating in the large and quiet palace.
At the foot of the mountain, the sunset glow dyed the sky red. It was as bright as a brocade, enveloping the palace as if it was draped in a gorgeous colored gauze.
The wind gradually stopped, and the flowers and trees became quiet.
However, the atmosphere in the palace was still strange. In the silence, there seemed to be swords drawn.
Xuanyuan Ye looked at Leng Wanwan and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. That smile was as bright as spring flowers, but it also carried an invisible powerful pressure that swept over the sky and earth. He played with his well-defined fingers with a nonchalant expression. He said calmly and slowly,
"You're so unreasonable. Aren't you afraid that I'll punish you?”
His slightly raised eyes were like a bottomless pool, watching her reaction.
"Will you?" Raising her neck was indeed a tiring thing. Leng Wanwan didn't stand on ceremony and directly sat on the table beside her. Her two short legs swayed, but her black eyes looked back sharply.。。
"Don't waste my time.”
Cut the nonsense. She was not here to stare at him. It was not to satisfy the arrogance of the emperor. If he thought that staying was a compromise, then he would be disappointed. In her dictionary, there was no such thing as compromise. Never!
"You-"
Xuanyuan Ye was angered again. That's right, he wanted to see this girl submit. He was the supreme Son of Heaven of the Tianyao Dynasty. He could cause the earth to tremble with a stomp of his foot. No one had ever dared to challenge his authority, but this little girl had ignored his noble status as the Son of Heaven again and again. It was too infuriating. If she didn't learn a lesson, she would never lower her head.
His dark eyes narrowed, and the burning anger was forcefully suppressed. His well-defined fingers gripped the chair's railing as he leaned forward slightly. His thin lips curled up slightly, looking extremely evil.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll punish everyone in the Leng residence?”
"Are you a fatuous ruler?" Leng Wanwan glanced at him and suddenly blurted out.
"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Ye raised his eyebrows. What was she doing? Although he was puzzled, he could not see the slightest fear on her face. Her grip on the railing tightened. This girl was really brave.
"If he wasn't a fatuous ruler, he wouldn't be so stupid as to pick his own roof beam.”Leng Wanwan raised her eyebrows, certain that he wouldn't do that. Leng Peiyuan held a large army and was a minister of two dynasties. More than half of the entire Heavenly Brilliance Dynasty was his subordinates. They were deeply intertwined. If he wanted to touch Leng Peiyuan, he would be able to trigger the entire situation. In the end, it wasn't the Leng Residence that was in trouble, but he had lost half of his territory.
Xuanyuan Ye's face darkened. However, it was a fact that Leng Peiyuan had implicated half of the officials of the Heavenly Shine Empire. If he really gave the order, he would only be destroying his own platform. Moreover, everyone knew that the general of the Northern Battlefront had outstanding achievements. If he was removed, it would cause public resentment. At that time, the imperial court would lose the hearts of the people. Not only that, the other countries that were eyeing Tianyao would also take the opportunity to attack him. However, because of Leng Peiyuan and the Prime Minister's power, they had to be wary. If they had the intention to rebel, Tianyao would be in danger.
He looked at Leng Wanwan, who had a relaxed expression on her face. She was amazing. However, he was the Emperor after all. In the blink of an eye, he had regained his usual arrogance. It was as if everything that Leng Wanwan had said was not a problem for him. However, her words reminded him that if he could not get rid of Leng Peiyuan, then he had to firmly grasp him and use him only for himself. A light flashed in his eyes. He could make an issue out of Leng Yue 'er's matter.
"If the ruler wants me to die, I have no choice but to die.”He leaned back on the back of the dragon throne, looking lazy and arrogant. "Does General Leng dare to openly disobey orders? If I remember correctly, the eldest daughter of the Leng family is a stumbling block to the marriage between the two countries. Between home and country, which would General Leng choose?”
He hated the barbaric power of the ancient times the most. Did an imperial edict want to take away people's happiness and even their lives? Bullsh * t.
Leng Wanwan's eyes curved as she recalled Leng Yue 'er's tearful and sorrowful look. She shook her little head. She did not want to see that annoying face of hers again. She jumped down from the table and walked towards the palace.
Xuanyuan Ye did not stop her. He supported his forehead with his hand and looked at her lazily as she walked towards him step by step. He wanted to see what this little doll wanted to do.
Leng Wanwan stood in front of Xuanyuan Ye and looked at him coldly. The light was cold and ruthless, like frozen ice without temperature.
The two of them stared at each other.
The invisible pressure turned into a roaring dragon that circled between the two of them. It was decided who would win.
"Do you think I'm afraid?" Leng Wanwan bent over and looked straight at Xuanyuan Ye. Their eyes almost met. Her cherry lips curled up slightly, and she was as arrogant as Xuanyuan Ye.
"Not afraid?" Xuanyuan Ye smiled, his warm breath blowing on Leng Wanwan's cheeks. In the blink of an eye, a strange light flashed in his deep eyes. His right hand was like an arrow that had left the bow, and his well-defined hands grabbed Leng Wanwan's slender neck.
"Tell me, what will happen to you if I use more force?”His thin lips curled up, and his dark eyes moved closer to Leng Wanwan's face. Until there was no gap between the two of them, the handsome face and the pink face did not stand out.
"We'll know if we try." Leng Wanwan's small face turned to the side and separated from that beautiful face. Although she was a child now, she still could not allow others to take advantage of her. Jian Jian's watery eyes were calm and peaceful, like a pool of water without waves. It was as if she was not the one being strangled.
"You-"
Xuanyuan Ye didn't expect Leng Wanwan to be so calm in the face of death. However, he turned his eyes and wanted to see if this little face was really fearless or pretending to be calm.
"That's true. We'll know when we try."
With an evil smile, his hands slowly tightened.
Leng Wanwan raised her head and smiled lightly. In Xuanyuan Ye's eyes, it was a provocation.
The anger in his black eyes was ignited again, and his big hands no longer showed mercy. Suddenly, he clenched his fist tightly. The smooth and tender touch on his palm stunned him for a moment. However, when he saw Leng Wanwan's already red but still untamed expression, he was furious.
Clack--
He seemed to hear the joints of her slender neck making a sound in his hand. Still not admitting defeat?
Leng Wanwan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her breathing was a little uneven. Did that damned man really want to strangle her to death? Damned emperor, damned feudalism. Did he really treat human lives like weeds? If he wanted her young miss 'life, she would not let him have it.
His ink-black eyes flashed, and he suddenly extended his right hand. The silver bell made a crisp tinkling sound.
Was he going to counterattack?
Xuanyuan Ye didn't miss her actions. His heart suddenly surged with excitement.
Leng Wanwan frowned. Xuanyuan Ye only felt a black shadow flash past his eyes. When he came back to his senses, his hands were empty. He looked up and saw Leng Wanwan's petite figure standing alone on a pillar at the side, looking at him coldly.
"Your turn."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure appeared beside him again like a ghost. A sword with a cold glint was placed across his neck. It was bone-chilling.
"What do you think will happen if I use more strength?”
Leng Wanwan also curled her lips and used Xuanyuan Ye's words to ask back.
