Chapter 795: Yue Er
Chapter 795: Yue Er
September 25, 2017
As a violent storm raged outside, targeting Lu HaiKong, Emperor Ling of Han was secretly contemplating the idea of canceling Lu HaiKong's marriage. Meanwhile, Zhang Lang was frantically trying to extinguish the fire for Lu HaiKong.
At Wang Yun's residence, Wang Yun and Cai Yong sat across from each other, their faces filled with worry.
The events of the past few days had left them both bewildered and unsure of how the situation had escalated to its current state.
Wasn't Lu HaiKong the one who was attacked? Shouldn't Lu HaiKong be the one being consoled? Shouldn't He Jin be the one in trouble? Why was Lu HaiKong the one being impeached instead? It seemed as though Lu HaiKong was being treated as the biggest culprit, and even his official position and status as an Imperial Son-in-Law were at risk of being revoked.
Upon hearing this news, not only did Cai Yong feel indignant on Lu HaiKong's behalf, but Wang Yun also expressed his deep resentment.
It wasn't that Wang Yun held Lu HaiKong in high regard; it was just that his perspective differed from others.
Through this incident involving Lu HaiKong, he had witnessed the rampant power of the imperial relatives. He Jin, a high-ranking official, had claimed to assassinate someone, and nothing happened. On the other hand, the person who was supposedly assassinated was now facing misfortune.
What kind of situation was this? Was this even reasonable? Was there any law and order left?
He Jin had gone too far, and if he dared to speak of treason, Emperor Ling might pass away and pass the throne to the Crown Prince. In that case, wouldn't He Jin become even more fearless? Would the empire still belong to the Han family? Would the emperor have to change his surname to He?
Wang Yun's concern was not about Lu HaiKong but the rampant power of the imperial relatives. As for Lu HaiKong, to be honest, Wang Yun was only indirectly concerned. If it weren't for this incident, Wang Yun wouldn't have had much favor for Lu HaiKong, which was quite normal. As a traditional scholar-official, it was inevitable that he would view Lu HaiKong, a bandit-turned-warlord, with a biased eye.
Therefore, Wang Yun didn't genuinely worry about Lu HaiKong; instead, he thought it would be better if Lu HaiKong died.
Wang Yun hoped that Lu HaiKong's soldiers would create some chaos and make the situation even bigger, forcing Emperor Ling to take action against He Jin.
Wang Yun wasn't particularly concerned about what Lu HaiKong's followers might do. On the one hand, in his eyes, nothing was more important than the continuation of the Han family's orthodoxy. On the other hand, he didn't believe that Lu HaiKong could rival the Great Han.
In contrast to Wang Yun, Cai Yong shared a different perspective. He was deeply concerned about the current situation and had witnessed the anger among Lu HaiKong's soldiers. He had also seen the elite soldiers under Lu HaiKong's command, and he worried that if this matter wasn't resolved satisfactorily, it could lead to significant trouble, especially with the three thousand cavalry that Lu HaiKong had brought.
However, at this moment, Cai Yong held no official position, and his words carried little weight, even with Wang Yun, who dismissed his concerns.
In this situation, Cai Yong could only sigh and hope that Lu HaiKong would escape danger and that the matter would be resolved soon.
Unfortunately, Cai Yong's wish was destined to remain unfulfilled, as someone held a completely different idea. She not only wanted to prevent the matter from being resolved but also intended to make it even bigger.
...
In the Northern Palace, the Immortal Princess, who had met Lu HaiKong once, arrived at Yue Er's palace.
Yue Er's palace was a unique existence within the imperial palace, always tightly closed off. Few people could enter, and Yue Er rarely left her palace.
If not for her marriage to Lu HaiKong, the palace might have forgotten about this princess with an almost non-existent presence.
Yue Er herself had detached from the chaotic Empress and had little interest in the outside world. Aside from exchanging letters with Lu HaiKong, she immersed herself in martial arts, so she was unaware of the recent storm surrounding Lu HaiKong and the events unfolding on his side.
The Princess believed that Yue Er should be informed about Lu HaiKong's situation, as it might lead to an intriguing development. Therefore, she directly visited Yue Er.
Yue Er was slightly surprised by the visit from the Immortal Princess, as she had just ended her seclusion and was about to receive a guest from Lu HaiKong's side. Nonetheless, she allowed the princess to enter.
Yue Er was curious about her nominal sister, whom she hadn't seen in half a year, and why she had come to see her.
"Little sister, are you still practicing?" the princess asked with a radiant smile, warmly reaching out to hold Yue Er's hand. Yue Er, unaccustomed to such enthusiasm, gently pulled her hand away and nodded in response.
"It's great to have your own aspirations, but unfortunately, I don't have the talent for it. Otherwise, I'd give it a try." The eldest princess spoke with a mixture of admiration and envy, her expression shifting slightly as she spoke. "But you've been busy with your martial arts training, and I wonder what's been happening lately?"
Yue Er looked at her, her big eyes flashing, using her gaze to convey her response.
"Recently, that person in your family has encountered a big problem. First, he was critically injured by an assassin's attack, and now he's facing impeachment from the entire court. His situation is quite dire, and there's even a possibility that he won't be able to hold onto his position as the Prince Consort." The eldest princess expressed her concern, sounding both genuine and fake.
Upon hearing these words, Yue Er responded for the first time.
"What did you say?!"
As these clear and crisp words rang out, a surge of sword energy rose into the air, its sharp and terrifying aura directly oppressing the eldest princess.
In that instant, Yue Er felt as if she were standing amidst a sea of corpses and blood, surrounded by countless long swords pointing at her. Yue Er's face paled, and she was shocked. Despite always knowing that Yue Er excelled in martial arts, she never imagined that Yue Er's strength would be so terrifying. This aura alone indicated that Yue Er's strength was at least at the 90th level or higher.
"Who did this?"
As Yue Er was shocked, she furrowed her brows and asked again. Her eyes, which had just been blinking innocently, now flashed with a murderous intent that filled her gaze.
The Yue Er in front of her looked like an adorable little Lolita, but she gave the eldest princess a sense of being in the presence of a demon. Moreover, the aura surrounding Yue Er made it difficult for the eldest princess to breathe. However, upon sensing Yue Er's terrifying strength, a barely noticeable smile appeared on Yue Er's lips. The stronger the opponent, the more fun it would be, right?
Perhaps something far beyond her imagination was about to happen, and she eagerly anticipated what was to come.
"As far as I know, it was He Jin who did this!"
"He Jin? I understand!" Yue Er nodded deeply at the eldest princess, then nodded again.
In the 1619th chapter, there is no error!
Hearing Yue Er's words, the eldest princess was momentarily stunned. Despite her confidence in her persuasive abilities, she felt a bit foolish for believing Yue Er so readily. Wasn't she being a bit too gullible?
"Don't you want to ask about the reasons and consequences?" the eldest princess asked subconsciously.
"Your eyes didn't deceive me. Knowing who did this is enough. I'll go and kill him, and there's no need for reasons!"
Yue Er's tone was calm, but the calmness in her voice carried an air of domineering and killing intent. The eldest princess felt as if she saw a glimpse of Lu Hai Kong in Yue Er. For the first time, she felt that this seemingly cute and innocent younger sister might not be as simple as she appeared.
However, whether Yue Er was simple or not didn't matter anymore. Since Yue Er had already been provoked, interesting things were bound to happen next.
"If that's the case, then you should go and take care of it. I won't disturb you anymore." The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, turning to leave. She couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
"Wait a moment."
As Yue Er's voice sounded again, the eldest princess, who had just turned to leave, felt Yue Er's aura wrapping around her, creating a strong sense of crisis. It seemed that if she took another step, she might die on the spot.
"Do you have anything else you want to ask?" The eldest princess stiffly turned around and asked awkwardly.
"I have no more questions. But since you've come, take my sword and leave!"
Yue Er, without anyone noticing, had already drawn her sword. Her aura had completely entangled the eldest princess.
The eldest princess immediately looked aggrieved. "I came here with good intentions to inform you. How can you treat me like this...?"
"Because you came, I'll cut you. And because you brought his news, I'll only cut you once!"
It was a tongue-twister, but the meaning was simple. Yue Er clearly understood that this princess's intentions were not pure at all. She had come with the intention of using Yue Er, but Yue Er would make her pay a corresponding price.
However, Yue Er had ultimately brought the news that Yue Er needed to know. So, Yue Er gave her a chance to live. As long as Yue Er took her sword and didn't die, she could survive.
After Yue Er finished speaking, she drew her sword without further ado. The long sword left its sheath and slashed towards the eldest princess.
As the sword slashed out, a meter-long sword energy flew towards the eldest princess. The hint of relaxation and confidence on her face was completely shattered in that instant.
Facing this terrifying sword strike, the eldest princess knew that if she didn't respond well, she might actually die!
"This crazy woman!"
The eldest princess cursed angrily and brought out all her hidden tricks...
