Chapter 170: The Cold War Begins
Su Yirong looked at him. I was a little scared. But there was still a voice telling her. There must be no backing down this time.
"They didn't die. But not only did you let them get rid of them. And it blocked their back road. From now on, I can only survive in secret. There's even a broken family. Is this what you call kindness?
These men are indeed a threat to you. Can your current power. As long as you guard against it, it won't be a threat to you. You only got a piece of news and you killed them all." Su Yirong was not afraid at all. I don't agree with what he's doing. I feel that Leng Yanxi at this time is too cold-blooded.
Leng Yanxi snorted coldly. How they will be in the future is not up to me. It's their masters who say it. Since you have followed the five princes. To die for him is to be prepared in this way.
I am not their master. It doesn't matter to me how they happen in the future. I don't have that much power. Just protect the people around me. I've only killed one person now. If you don't kill them all, you're sparing them.
You don't know the truth that the first strike is stronger. Do you have to wait until the butcher's knife falls on my neck? Do you fight back again. I hate to death the life of being beaten passively. So this time I'm going to take the initiative."
"But you've cornered them. How could the five princes still take action to protect them. Now I see that only one has died. But for them, it's almost like death.
Proactive is not this proactive approach. You're so desperate. Let the other princes see what they will think. It's going to make everyone anxious. will unite against you. Even if it's not your opponent. A dog jumping off a wall can bite you a piece of meat." Su Yirong listened to him. There was a pang of disappointment in my heart. But I still want to try to persuade him.
"Could it be that I still give them a chance to turn over. Wait for the five princes to lift them up and then turn around and harm me. Aren't you a little vexatious? Don't forget who you are. I usually spoil you. Just because you can do whatever you want." Leng Yanxi couldn't help but stand up anymore. Said coldly.
His words were like a slap in the face of Su Yirong. Suddenly I felt a hot pain. There was a sad expression on his face. Looking at Su Yirong like this. Leng Yanxi regretted what he had just said. But I can't say anything about apologies.
"You're right. What am I who I am. Nicely said it's your princess. But she's just a dispensable woman." Su Yirong smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes. Slowly raised his head and stared straight at Leng Yanxi.
"You..." Leng Yanxi wanted to explain. You can see the tears in her eyes. I couldn't say a word.
"You don't have to say anything more. I understand both. Rajah. I always thought you were special among these princes. But now it seems. It's feelings that blind my eyes. Now it looks like you're no different from them. The same meanness, the same cold-bloodedness." Su Yirong was sad. He opened his mouth without concealment. He said such a thing.
Leng Yanxi's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard this. That's what you really think."
In fact, Su Yirong regretted it after saying it. She knew that the battle between the princes was actually no safer than on the battlefield. Nominally brothers. But they all treat each other as enemies of life and death. I can't wait to kill it and then hurry up.
That's not an exaggeration. But Su Yirong just couldn't pass the level in his heart. Especially when the words have already been spoken. Even if you take it, you can't take it back. I couldn't help but stand up." Then don't you think you're cold-blooded yourself. Obviously, it can be solved by other means. But you have to use this cold method.
Now it is controlled by its own rights yuang. For the right. You can wipe them out. You can also ignore whether anyone is innocent or not."
"You say I'm killing innocents." Leng Yanxi's face was gloomy." Are you really innocent when they are. I can pat my conscience and say. I have not wronged anyone. These officials were especially the one who was beheaded for public display. It's a heinous sin. It's just that they should be killed one by one."
"Where were you before that. Why not punish them. If they hadn't provoked you. Are you just going to let it go?" Su Yirong sneered. Besides, are all your men clean? and they were all clean officials."
"Yes. I can't guarantee it. And you're right. I didn't remove them for the sake of the people, let alone for the sake of the country. It's because they're my enemies now. An enemy who could ruin my family at any moment." Leng Yanxi laughed angrily when he heard her words. But they no longer hide it. I confessed it in one gulp.
Su Yirong suddenly felt a wave of disappointment in his heart. They are your enemies. You can have no scruples. That's a high-sounding reason."
"Don't forget who you are now. Everyone has the right to say so. You're the only one who doesn't. You forget how they did to you. Even a child can be dealt with. Compare it to them. I'm kind of good. I'm just going to be his protégé. But they have laid down on my wife and children. Do you need to ask who is more despicable in this way?"
"What do you mean?" Su Yirong was stunned. My mind cleared up. Stopped him and asked, "The child was not harmed by Mrs. Yu. What does it have to do with them. You make it clear to me."
Leng Yanxi sneered. You really think it's that simple. Don't you think you're naïve to think so?"
"It's the Five Princes." Although Su Yirong didn't care about this royal matter. That doesn't mean she doesn't understand.
Leng Yanxi nodded with a gloomy face. Look at Su Yirong." Although there is no evidence yet. But everything suggests that he must have played a role in this. I will not spare a person who has hurt my children. They will be put to death at all costs.
Even if it's for everyone to hate me. Everyone scolded me for being cold-blooded. I won't let them go either. But I didn't expect you to think of me like that. You've disappointed me so much."
Su Yirong looked at him in a daze. He opened his mouth but said nothing. That's not what she's trying to say. I didn't expect to say what I said in my excitement. They hurt each other.
"Now you still think I'm cold-blooded. Am I hurting the innocent by doing this?" Leng Yanxi looked at her stunned expression. But nothing has changed. The gloomy expression made him, who had only shown tenderness in front of Su Yirong, disappear.
Su Yirong was suddenly a little scared. It's not like she's never seen such a cold tide. But that was a long time ago. It's been so long that she can't even remember.
At this time, they were no longer arguing over the removal of a few officials. Leng Yanxi's anger stemmed from Su Yirong's distrust and suspicion of him. This is not a misunderstanding. It's not something that can be explained in two sentences.
Especially at this time, Su Yirong has no way to explain it. Look at him overwhelmed. But when I saw him turn around with a cold face, he was about to leave. Su Yirong stepped forward and grabbed him. Lord Wang..."
Leng Yanxi snorted coldly. Shake her off and walk forward. Su Yirong fell to the ground without standing firm and exclaiming. But he didn't seem to see it. Keep walking. Soon left Su Yirong's sight.
Su Yirong sat down on the ground. Looking at his back, tears suddenly flowed. Looking ahead in a daze. I don't know what I'm doing.
"Miss. What's wrong with you. You and the prince have not always been good. Why are we arguing again?" As soon as Xiaoxue came in, she saw Su Yirong still sitting on the ground. The face was desolate.
Su Yirong was still sitting there like this. When Xiaoxue helped her up. It's already cold. I don't even feel like my hands and feet are my own.
"Miss. You talk. But don't scare me." Xiaoxue was really scared when she saw her. With a crying voice, he pulled Su Yirong hard.
"I'm fine." Su Yirong finally came back to his senses. even comforted Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue cried even more when she heard this." How could it be okay. Look at the cold on your body. Miss didn't know how scary she looked just now. What the hell is going on?"
Su Yirong could only shake his head slightly. Maybe even she couldn't tell what was going on. Obviously it was just a dispute over the removal of several officials. In the end, it became what it is now.
The two don't remember how long they hadn't argued. Even the Cold War has passed. But this time the conflict seems to be particularly serious. Leng Yanxi has never stepped into Su Yixuan since that day. I never looked for Su Yirong again.
And Su Yirong recovered. But he never left again. Just honestly stay in your own little courtyard. I didn't go anywhere.
"Miss. What's wrong with you. Usually not the most like to go out. Why don't you even come out of this Su Yixuan these days. Besides, Miss, you're not the least fond of practicing calligraphy. Why is it that as soon as I write it, it's not finished." If it is usually Su Yirong so. She's not in a hurry to be happy. At least he won't be implicated and scolded by Su Yirong. But now she'd rather be scolded. I don't want to see Su Yirong like this.
Su Yirong smiled bitterly. Just shook his head slightly. Didn't say anything. Continue to bow her head and write her words. After this period of time, I was forced to practice calligraphy by Leng Yanxi. Her handwriting is not comparable to that of those who have been learning it since childhood. At least not like the cockroaches crawled before.
The word is good-looking. But the one who can see is gone. Looking at the words in front of me, my heart is even more bitter.
She thinks about it all the time these days. Are you really wrong? Thinking about my unborn child. He died in the struggle for imperial power. I understood what he was doing.
But it doesn't matter what. I can't get past that level in my heart. If you say that your child is really the fifth prince meddling. She will not be soft when she takes revenge on the five princes. But to those few officials. She still felt that Leng Yanxi was a little too ruthless. And the ones she knew before. It's still a little chilling to think about it.
Even if Leng Yanxi said that they deserve it. But after all, he is a victim of the struggle of these princes. She had done such a sacrifice with her own children. Know what it feels like.
If you think about it. She didn't want Leng Yanxi to hurt others like this.
The knot between the two of them is deadlocked here. Although they are thinking about each other. But no one would bow his head; The first cold war since the child is gone. It's been going on for so long.
It also made Su Yirong's mood more and more depressed. Not only did he not go out, but he also practiced his words every day. Even Xiaoxue can see that something is wrong.
