Chapter 160 Princess Li Ning

Li Zhen was drunk, his clothes were disheveled, his face was covered with stubble, and he looked extremely unkempt.

Hongluan's word "waste" was like a fuse, making him completely out of control in an instant.

He stood in front of the gate of Luoshuichunfang. At first there was a heart-pounding silence, and then he broke into a decadent laugh.

That laughter was full of despair and madness, as if it wanted to release all the pain and unwillingness in his heart.

At this time, Hongluan, also known as Jiang Yeqiu, was standing on the embroidery building with her maid, looking coldly at Li Zhen's ugly appearance.

She frowned slightly, her eyes full of disgust.

Then she walked into the room without looking back, her movements were quick and decisive, without any sign of reluctance.

In the room, Jiang Yeqiu quickly changed out of her gorgeous clothes and put on a maid's clothes.

After carefully disguising herself, she quietly left through the back door.

Jiang Yeqiu traveled carefully all the way and finally arrived at the residence of the Tenth Prince Li Xu.

As soon as she saw Li Xu, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She threw herself into his arms without hesitation and acted coquettishly in all kinds of ways.

Li Xu looked at her lovingly, and the two soon fell into passion, making love and enjoying the pleasure of love.

After a passionate lovemaking, Jiang Yeqiu lay on Li Xu's chest, breathing slightly.

Her eyes became serious, and she said softly, "My Lord, I have something to tell you. Princess Wang has agreed to your terms. Once Yujing City is conquered, you will be the new king of Longyuan."

Her words were full of expectation and ambition, as if she had already seen the moment when Li Xu ascended the throne.

When Li Xu heard what Jiang Yeqiu said, he was stunned at first, and then he laughed, and that laughter was full of unruly and arrogant.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes gleaming with determination, and said, "I am not willing to fight for the position of crown prince. God knows how many years that old fellow Li Zhuo can live.

This king does not want to wait any longer, this king wants to ascend the throne on his own!"

After saying that, he gently stroked Jiang Yeqiu's silky smooth skin, his eyes full of love and doting.

"Ye Qiu, tell Princess Wang that as long as I ascend the throne, I promise to pay tribute to other countries every year."

His words seemed sincere, but deep down in his heart, he was full of sneers.

He looked down on those barbarian lands and other small countries. In his eyes, they were nothing but ants.

He secretly thought that as long as he ascended the throne, he would be able to make other countries submit to him.

By then, he would be a holy monarch who unified the world, respected by all people and his name would go down in history.

His eyes became deep and distant, as if he had already seen the moment when he would rule the world.

Jiang Yeqiu snuggled in his arms, listening quietly to his bold words, her heart full of anticipation.

She knew that Li Xu was no ordinary person. He had ambition, strategy, and courage, and would definitely be able to realize his dream.

And she will be by his side, sharing this supreme glory.

Jiang Yeqiu was a woman as gorgeous and dangerous as a poppy.

She has a graceful figure and a beautiful face, and her every frown and smile is enough to make people fall in love with her.

However, deep in her seemingly gentle eyes, she hides a cold heart.

She doesn't love anyone, neither Li Zhen who once loved her deeply, nor Li Xu who is close to her now.

In her eyes, those men were just tools for her to achieve her goals.

She would not be moved by their tenderness, nor would she feel sorry for their suffering.

Her heart seemed to be wrapped in ice, without a trace of warmth.

She only loves power. Power is the only goal she pursues and the whole meaning of her life.

She longed to stand at the pinnacle of power, overlooking everyone and controlling everything.

For the sake of power, she can do anything, sell her soul, and betray anyone.

She struggled and fought in the vortex of power without fear.

She believes that only by having power can she truly control her own destiny.

She wanted everyone to know that she, Jiang Yeqiu, was not a chess piece to be manipulated by others, but a queen who controlled her own destiny.

At the same time, in the princess's mansion, the place that was once full of laughter and luxury is now shrouded in a layer of haze.

Princess Li Ning, who has always behaved in a dissolute and frivolous manner.

He is the most powerful royal heir under his command.

Although she seemed to be having fun, she actually took in many extraordinary men in the name of selecting concubines.

Li Zhen sat quietly in her room, her eyes empty and confused, her thoughts seemed to drift back to the day when Queen Zong Zheng Fu Yue was convicted.

That day, the sunlight was particularly dazzling, but it could not warm Li Ning's cold heart.

When she learned the news that her mother was convicted, it was like a bolt from the blue and her whole world collapsed in an instant.

She rushed to the Yangxin Palace regardless of everything, with only one thought in her mind, which was to ask Emperor Li Zhuo to spare her mother.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her hair was a little messy, and her face was full of anxiety and despair.

When she arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she saw the majestic palace and a trace of fear surged in her heart.

But for her mother's sake, she mustered up her courage, knelt outside the palace, and begged bitterly.

"Father, please have mercy on me and spare my mother! She has devoted her whole life to the royal family and the country!"

Her voice trembled and tears kept flowing.

However, there was silence in the Yangxin Palace, and there was no response.

Later, it rained heavily.

Li Zhen's heart grew colder and colder. She knew that the emperor had made up his mind and would not change it easily.

In the end, she had no choice but to return to the princess's mansion.

Since then, she has been staying indoors, as if she wanted to completely isolate herself from the outside world.

Even when Empress Zong Zheng Fu Yue was executed by slow slicing, she did not go out to collect the body.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go, but that she doesn’t dare to go.

She was afraid to face the cruel reality and to see her mother's tragic end.

She could only hide in her room, crying silently and enduring the pain in her heart silently.

At this moment, Li Yong was gathering a group of aides to discuss matters in his mansion.

She was wearing a purple robe and a golden crown on her head. Her face was stern and her eyes revealed determination and resoluteness.

She sat upright in the main seat, looking at the staff below, her heart full of anticipation.

“Everyone, now that my mother has been convicted and executed, this princess is in a very difficult situation.

But this princess is unwilling to accept this and be at the mercy of fate.

Only when the power is in your own hands can you avoid being bullied by others!

My uncle is the new emperor of Dayuan, and I am also a princess of the royal family, a favored daughter of heaven.

Why can't I be crowned king? Why can't I sit on the throne? "

Li Ning's voice is sonorous and powerful, full of dominance.

The staff below looked at each other, some showed hesitation, while others had excitement in their eyes.

An elderly staff member stood up and said respectfully, "Your Highness, since ancient times, the throne has always been inherited by men. If a woman becomes king, it will probably cause chaos in the world!"

Li Xian sneered and said, "Since ancient times? That's just an outdated concept.

The world is different now, why can't a woman be king? This princess has wisdom, courage, and the ability to govern the country. Why must a man be the one to unify the world? "

Another staff member also stood up and said, "Your Highness, although you have the support of Dayuan, the domestic situation is also very complicated. Other princes and forces will not easily let you become king."

Li Xian narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "This princess knows, so we need to make a careful plan.

We must unite all forces that can be united and gradually weaken other forces. At the same time, we must strengthen our ties with Dayuan and strive to gain the support of my uncle. "

The staff nodded in agreement.

They began to discuss specific plans and strategies, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.

Li Yong looked at the staff below, his heart full of confidence.

She knows that this road is full of difficulties and obstacles, but she will not back down.

She wants to fight for her own destiny and for the throne that belongs to her.

She thought of her brother Li Zhen, who had become so weak and incompetent because of a woman.

A wave of anger and disappointment welled up in her.

"Li Zhen, Li Zhen, you really disappoint this princess. As a man, you have no sense of responsibility or courage.

For a woman, he gave up everything. But this princess is different. This princess has ambition, wisdom, and courage to fight for the supreme power. "

Li Ning stood up, walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.

The sunshine shines on her body, but cannot warm her cold heart.

She knew that her fate was closely tied to the throne.

She must succeed, otherwise endless darkness will be waiting for her.

"This princess must become the king and the ruler of the world.

Let everyone know that women can rule the world and achieve great things."

There was a determined light in Li Zhen's eyes, as if she had already seen the moment when she would ascend to the throne.
