Although he didn't know what Li Hongji was planning, he still had to go. With Die 'er's help, Qing Qian changed into a gorgeous outfit and prepared to go to Li Hongji's ship.
Qing Qian and Die 'er were shocked when they saw the ship. It was the ship that attacked them last time. Although it was night and they couldn't see it clearly, it was definitely the one in front of them. Qing Qian secretly shook her head. She didn't expect that the person who wanted to kill Li Yu was actually his own brother, Li Hongji.
She calmed down. She, Shui Qing Qian, was never afraid of a true villain, but she was only afraid of a hypocrite.
After boarding the ship, she discovered that not only was Li Hongji on the ship, but there was also a group of ministers and many members of the royal family. Even Li Yu, Yan Lang, and Ji Yafu were among them. Qing Qian could not help but sigh in relief and greet the three of them.
This was Li Hongji's first time seeing Qing Qian, but her reputation was definitely well-known. Li Hongji also sized up Qing Qian with great interest. En, not bad, she was a beauty. She didn't have the obedience of an ordinary actor, but she faintly showed some pride.
Qing Qian also looked at Li Hongji. He was quite good-looking, but the maliciousness in his eyes made people shudder. In addition, the previous incident had made her not have a good impression of him at all. This time, she felt that Li Hongji made her very uncomfortable.
Hence, she turned her gaze and smiled at Li Yu and Yan Lang who were hiding in the crowd. That smile that came from the bottom of her heart was indeed alluring. Li Yu also returned a smile. Although it was only a short seven days, it seemed like he had not seen Qing Qian for a very long time. He heard that she had fallen ill after falling into the water that day and was anxious to visit her. However, it was quite inconvenient because of his identity. He did not expect to see Qing Qian on his big brother's boat today. From the looks of it, her illness shouldn't be serious. She still looked as beautiful as ever.
Under Li Hongji's lead, everyone entered the main hall. Li Hongji gestured for Qing Qian to sit beside him, playing the zither for everyone when she had nothing to do, and pouring wine for him when she had something to do. Although Qing Qian was not satisfied with this arrangement, she could only agree.
Seeing Li Hongji arrange Qing Qian like this, Li Yu felt his heart ache. However, he was helpless and could only watch as Qing Qian smiled insincerely as she poured Li Hongji wine. He felt more and more furious. He looked at Yan Lang at the side, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
Yesterday, Li Hongji invited everyone to his boat to play. Because there were no stringed instruments, Yan Lang actually asked Li Hongji for Shui Qingqian. Li Hongji was naturally satisfied with Yan Lang's suggestion. After all, Qingqian was a famous courtesan in Jinling, and she played the zither well. She was as beautiful as a fairy.
However, Li Yu was not satisfied. This was simply pushing Qing Qian into the fire pit. However, Yan Lang's intentions were for his own good. Although he was dissatisfied, he could not refute.
Yan Lang knew that Yi Shui's beauty and talent would definitely pique Li Hongji's interest. She would definitely become a chess piece to help Li Yu in the future.
However, when he thought about how Qing Qian was going to become a chess piece, his heart still felt a wave of pain.
Qing Qian, you are as clean as your name. If I could, I would not let you get involved in this dispute, but I can't. I can't change anything. You can laugh at my cowardice, laugh at my cunningness. I know that my big brother Li Hongji is cold and aloof. If I can, I really don't want to push you into the fire pit.
I hate my own powerlessness.
