Chapter 361.1: Stabbing the Knife In Quick Succession

Without waiting for n.o.ble Consort Su to say anything, Li Hong Yuan just turned his gaze towards Jing Wan. Seeing Jing Wan stained with blood, her appearance messy, the dark currents around him turned into a violent whirlwind, and he didnt want to restrain it in the slightest, What happened? To dare touch his darling, even Le Cheng Emperor wasnt allowed to.

In n.o.ble Consort Sus eyes, this kind of Li Hong Yuan, she really has never seen before, so naturally felt incomparably shocked, her heart violently beating. Rather, it wasnt that she was scared, just constantly feeling that something bad might happen. Not bad in the ordinary sense, but rather something that she wont be able to accept. She rather wanted to say a bit of something. Unfortunately, her son didnt cooperate. This son clearly just had his wife in his heart and eyes. She strangely felt that it was seemingly like the son now having a wife, forgetting the mother. n.o.ble Consort Su also faintly felt sour inside.

Jing Wan looked to Li Hong Yuan and smiled, How come w.a.n.gye just came over this soon?

This prince right now just want to know what happened. Outside, hed ran into the people serving by Jing Wans side, their steps in a hurry, even carrying injuries. Li Hong Yuan simply didnt ask, increasing his pace, just worrying that something will happen to Jing Wan. Although he knew that n.o.ble Consort Su couldnt possibly do anything, this kind of worry still wont disappear.

Jing Wan raised her hand, Dont worry, this isnt my blood.

Luo Jing Wan, the main point. Li Hong Yuan suddenly raised his voice.

This was the first time, the first time Li Hong Yuan called her by her full name like this. It can be seen, at this very moment, he really was ruthlessly angered, and perhaps might lose control at any time.

Li Hong Yuans anger somewhat exceeded Jing Wans expectation. He shouldnt be unable to make out her situation right now. She clearly was perfectly fine.

However, what Jing Wan didnt know was that seeing her stained with blood instinctively struck a certain nerve of his.

That was the forbidden territory in the depths of Li Hong Yuans memories. As long as that day still hasnt come to pa.s.s, as long as everything hasnt settled completely, it was impossible for Li Hong Yuan to put down. If in a slight moment of carelessness, it gets touched upon, then it might explode. And with this explosion, dont know how many people will suffer a calamity.

Its nothing, just an old wicked slave getting physical with me, thats all. The scene Jing Wan built up, wasnt it precisely for the sake of complaining.

This kind of clumsy and completely careless setup, would Li Hong Yuan not be able to make out? After seeing through at a glance, he completely believed his wife, and would even cooperate to the end. He will use actual actions to tell everyone, in any situation, his wifes words were just the truth. Even if wrong, it was still right, and if right, it was further right.

Li Hong Yuans gaze, like the edge of a blade, looked towards that old palace maids that had slightly moved a little farther away from Jing Wan. That gaze was just genuinely looking at a dead person. Someone come, have this old wicked slave dragged out for this prince, and beat..fifty times with the rod.

To death changing to fifty, that was also giving n.o.ble Consort Su face. Although it sounded a bit better, but with the living Enma personally issuing the order, if the people carrying out the punishment dare to hit lightly, then later, that rod might just land on their own bodies. As such, after that fifty beating with the rod, the chance of still being able to live was practically next to nothing.

Jing Wan couldnt help but clench her fist. To just end a human life like this, even just because of her one line, she more or less felt a bit uncomfortable inside. However, thinking again, she also just relaxed. This woman was the trusted aide among n.o.ble Consort Sus trusted aides, and can be said to be her right hand. The human lives that ended in her hands absolutely wont just be one or two, and more importantly, those things that n.o.ble Consort Su did to her husband were also done through this persons hands. Speaking of these, it really was not worth pitying even in death. Jing Wan hardened her heart.

Yuaner n.o.ble Consort Sus complexion changed, her voice uncontrollably raising, appearing somewhat sharp.

Is something the matter consort mother? Li Hong Yuans face was completely blank, very much cold and indifferent.

This was the first time this son talked to her like this. n.o.ble Consort Su, for a moment, was actually unable to speak. A moment later, Things arent as what your wife said.

Oh? Then why dont consort mother let someone explain to this son what the facts are like. Since you say that Luo-s.h.i.+ lied to this son, then trust that the people by your side absolutely wont.

These words sounded as if there were no problem, and one also didnt sense Li Hong Yuans unusual mood, but not just one felt that his words carried thorns.

n.o.ble Consort Su felt increasingly depressed inside. This son, since childhood, has always been close with her. Compared to others, including Le Cheng Emperor, she, this consort mother, in his heart, occupied the most important position. He was just good to her, and towards others, all not good. Even if just feelings of mother and son, it would still make one unconsciously produce a sense of superiority. n.o.ble Consort Su would even show off in front of Le Cheng Emperor from time to time, causing Le Cheng Emperor to all feel jealous, and her mood would nevertheless be exceptionally refreshed. Clearly, this was just the most obvious way to show off.

However, now, it was clearly her daughter-in-laws position in her sons heart surpa.s.sing her own. Even if it temporarily still hasnt, this son was still faintly leaning towards her daughter-in-law, so it would be strange for her to feel happy inside. Originally, shed already gotten stabbed by Jing Wan to the point of nearly vomiting blood, and now, she just grew even colder, not hiding it in the slightest.

Li Hong Yuan frowned, and somewhat puzzlingly looked to n.o.ble Consort Su, seemingly very confused as to why she was angry for no reason. Consort mother, if theres something youd like to say, just directly say it. You know this son is the most annoyed with guessing a womans thoughts. You being like this will only make this son mistakenly think that returning to the capital after being away for half a year, you not only didnt miss this son, but even began to dislike this son.

Did n.o.ble Consort Su have motherly feelings towards Li Hong Yuan? Certainly, but precisely because there were feelings, Li Hong Yuans words were thus like a knife, repeatedly stabbing into n.o.ble Consort Sus heart, the blood directly spilling, making her nearly suffocate from the pain.

Jing Wan silently took it all in. Her own husband was the true acting king, even the kind that deliberately stabbed people, and yet, the person getting stabbed cant even criticize him, because he didnt know, because he was being unintentional. Thats why, you even need to pretend as if nothing happened.

Jing Wan inwardly lit a candle for n.o.ble Consort Su in her heart. However, Jing Wan didnt sympathize in the slightest. For n.o.ble Consort Su, all of this was all deservedly so.

If n.o.ble Consort Su, from the start, just didnt put in feelings, letting the relations.h.i.+p between them be just the same as the relations.h.i.+p between the other princes and her, even if just mother and son in name, then whether it was dull like water, or becoming enemies, it was all irrelevant, because that couldnt be more normal. And from the start, her wanting to borrow this foster son to solidify her favor from Le Cheng Emperor, when it comes to the imperial harem, this was actually also nothing, and Li Hong Yuan simply didnt care either. Yet, n.o.ble Consort Su just had to treat this foster son wholeheartedly, and not at all inferior to her own son. Then, she just shouldnt have done those unnecessary things.

If without those two superfluous matters, even if n.o.ble Consort Su in the end chooses to a.s.sist her own son onto the throne, Li Hong Yuan probably wouldnt care either, and would even a.s.sist Li Hong Ming, just like the Li Hong Yuan of the past life prior to learning the truth.

Ruthless and merciless, not recognizing ones own family, malicious and cruel, viewing human life as weed, and so on, the reason why Li Hong Yuan became this terrifying, more than half the reason all fall on n.o.ble Consort Su. Of course, all of this was the cause of the past life. In this lifetime, it naturally wont have the slightest influence towards him. Moreover, he also didnt feel there was anything wrong with his own temperament.

Li Hong Yuan, in this lifetime, strove to remain calm and collected. Even if innocently provoking n.o.ble Consort Su, he really wasnt interested in specially doing so. Just, since it just so happened to involve his wife, then sorry, he further wont hold back.

Yuaner saying these words, what difference is there from gouging out consort mothers heart? n.o.ble Consort Su was deathly pale. Her heart truly ached a lot.

Consort mother, please forgive. As the saying goes, the son traveling thousands of li, the mother worries. This son thought that having not met in this long, consort mother shouldve at least shown care for this sons current situation first thing upon meeting, but in reality, such an unpleasant thing happened. This son although is too old to act spoiled by consort mothers side, but one still feels upset inside.

You should at least give this consort the opportunity to show care!

The others looked to Li Hong Yuan, more or less having the same thoughts.

Aside from Jing Wan, the others all werent too sure whether Li Hong Yuans actions were deliberate, or really just as it stands. After all, Li Hong Yuan being n.o.ble Consort Sus good son, that was also there for all to see.

T/N: n.o.ble Consort Su is the type that want things both ways. She wants a loving relations.h.i.+p with LHY, but doesnt want him to have the slightest threat towards her actual son. The things she did to him, in a way, were to a.s.sure that he would never become a threat to her own son, but at the same time, she also likes to pretend that she has always been a loving mother to LHY and never did anything wrong to him. Its actually quite similar to how Le Cheng Emperor likes to pretend that he didnt kill LHYs birth mother and continue to reminisce about their deeply loving relations.h.i.+p.
