Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 124
Jun Wuhen flashed a blue light, remained silent, and waited quietly for him to continue.
"Why is Your Excellency so silent? We're practically family now, aren't we?"
Jun Wuhen sneered, "I wouldn't dare to presume upon such an honor."
Situ Xingyun continued with a laugh, "Indeed, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup! Poor Wuxia was just abandoned by her cousin. And she spends her days in tears." Situ Xingyun clicked his tongue and shook his head, seemingly sighing yet also making sarcastic remarks.
Jun Wuhen swept his gaze across the room with cold light and uttered two words in a chilling tone: "Li Jing!"
Situ Xingyun gently waved his jade fan, his eyes gleaming: "My lord, let's make a deal!" A smile curved the corners of Situ Xingyun's lips. "A deal concerning Li Jing."
"Which one is Li Jing?" Jun Wuhen's eyelids twitched as he asked.
“Hehe, let’s not talk about Li Jing, let’s talk about…” Situ Xingyun suddenly lowered his voice, “He Jing.”
Jun Wuhen trembled, his eyes instantly turning a deep blue like the ocean. His voice was low and deep.
"explain."
Situ Xingyun smiled, abruptly closed his jade fan, and said, "I can give you Li Jing from the palace."
Jun Wuhen's eyes flashed with a blue light. "You can't open it even without the key."
"Hehe, it seems Your Majesty is indeed well-versed in the Hejing. However, I have my own way of opening it." Situ Xingyun's eyes were full of confidence. The Jun family has always lived under the shadow of the Hejing, suffering terribly. With such a good opportunity placed before him, he would definitely seize it.
Silver moonlight bathed Jun Wuhen, his blue eyes gleaming in the night. Jun Wuhen exuded an aura of frost, but Situ Xingyun had to admit that the man in black before him was truly exceptional.
Suddenly, Situ Xingyun clenched his fists, a tidal wave of jealousy surging within him. This man had possessed Xue'er for two years! However—a slight smile played on Situ Xingyun's lips.
According to reports from their spies, they have not consummated their marriage in the past two years.
“Conditions,” he uttered coldly.
"Qingyun." A resolute tone.
"Don't even think about it!" A flash of blue light appeared in Jun Wuhen's eyes, and a murderous aura filled the sky.
"Your Majesty!" A large group of men in black immediately appeared on the ship.
Situ Xingyun seemed completely oblivious to the overwhelming killing intent. He waved to those behind him, signaling them to go inside and ignore him.
Situ Xingyun slowly opened his jade fan and casually said, "Anyway, Xue'er doesn't love you. All you'll get is her body. You might as well give her to me."
Jun Wuhen was taken aback. "You knew?"
Situ Xingyun smiled, his eyes slightly narrowed. "There's nothing in this world that I don't know." He gently shook his jade fan, a strange smile playing on his lips. Suddenly, he casually changed the subject, "Xue'er once told me that there was someone she hated deeply in her life, and that was—"
Situ Xingyun paused, then watched with satisfaction as Jun Wuhen's expression changed drastically.
"The person who disfigured her back then."
Whoosh—the cold wind howled. In an instant, Jun Wuhen's hand gripped Situ Xingyun's neck. With just a little more force, the mouth of the Wujiang River would be his sacrificial site next year.
However, Situ Xingyun showed no fear whatsoever. He still smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to kill me to silence me? Although Your Majesty is highly skilled in martial arts, I have many assassins around me. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to leave."
Jun Wuhen snorted coldly and loosened his grip.
Situ Xingyun maintained his calm and composed expression. He continued, "The Hejing and the secret exchange for Qingyun."
The moonlight was hazy, and the blue in Jun Wuhen's eyes was covered by silver, making it impossible for Situ Xingyun to see his current expression.
After a long silence, Jun Wuhen coldly uttered a single sentence: "Don't even think about it."
Situ Xingyun's face was somewhat gloomy. "If Xue'er finds out about this secret, I wonder how she will react? Heh... I really look forward to it..."
A cool breeze swept through, and a light drizzle suddenly began to fall at night.
Situ Xingyun glanced at the moon obscured by dark clouds, narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes, and said, "My lord, let's go inside and continue our discussion. Perhaps we can come up with a deal that both sides are willing to agree to."
Having said that, he strode towards the ship. Not hearing footsteps behind him, he said calmly, "The Jun family has worked so hard for so many years, isn't it all for the sake of reuniting the mirror?"
Hearing the faint footsteps behind him, Situ Xingyun continued walking forward.
Departure from the palace.
Qingyun opened the window.
The rain was falling softly.
Qingyun rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the scene.
Suddenly, a familiar face seemed to form within the dense curtain of rain. Qingyun couldn't help but smile gently, murmuring, "Lige..."
Since that day, Li Ge has never appeared at the Li Palace again. Her heartfelt confession that day must have left her deeply shaken for a long time. She must be still reeling from it in the Valley of Desolation!
For some reason, Qingyun suddenly had a premonition that Li Ge would soon appear before her, and that he would definitely be under a completely new identity.
"Woman, in my heart, you have long been number one."
Suddenly, those words popped into my head.
A sweet feeling welled up in Qingyun's heart, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips. Even the sound of the rain seemed to become more pleasant.
Suddenly, Jun Wuhen's angry expression appeared before her eyes, and her heart felt as if it had been filled with ice water, chilling her to the bone.
Alas! She owed Wuhen far too much, so much that she didn't know how to repay him. Wuhen would never let her go; his intense love was enough to suffocate her. But to this day, she still didn't understand what Wuhen loved about her. She remembered Wuhen once saying that he had started loving her a very, very long time ago.
Qingyun began to recall things from the past...
