Chapter 514: Regent King the Keeper Wants a Kiss 45
Yu Wenxu’s gaze was deep and distant.
He remained silent.
Liang Yue held a handkerchief to her face and smiled briefly.
The next instant, her expression turned ferocious.
"Yu Wenxu, you dare to stage a coup and imprison my Father Emperor, all for this woman? Are you not afraid of becoming a laughingstock to the world?"
Yu Wenxu’s lips were tightly pressed. After a long while, he finally spoke.
"Let her go."
Liang Yue snorted coldly.
"Let her go?"
She spoke slowly,
"You must hate me immensely. Likely, I won’t be able to leave this mansion alive either. The Netherworld Road is lonely; I must find someone to accompany me."
As she spoke, she pushed the dagger a bit further.
It sliced open the skin on Su Yan’s neck.
Instantly, bright red blood flowed down her neck.
Yu Wenxu’s gaze narrowed, his lips pressed even tighter.
"Release her, and you can leave."
Liang Yue’s laugh grew more triumphant.
"She is indeed your darling. Treasured so much?? Just a little blood and you become so distressed, losing your composure?!"
Though she was laughing, the resentment in her eyes grew increasingly intense.
Hatred flickered in her eyes,
"Let me go? No hurry, the matter of her wanting to kill me hasn’t been settled yet."
Yu Wenxu’s eyes were deep,
"What do you want?"
Every word he uttered seemed to freeze in the air.
Something quickly flashed through Liang Yue’s eyes.
"I want... your life."
She spoke each word with hatred.
Meanwhile, during the standoff.
Su Yan’s tightly shut eyes twitched.
Then, she came to her senses.
When she opened her eyes, they were clear.
She looked at the ropes tied around her body, her neck being held at knifepoint, already cut open.
Across from her, Yu Wenxu’s expression was cold, surrounded by the Imperial Guard and archers.
Liang Yue apparently did not expect Su Yan to wake up,
which somewhat surprised her.
But then again, having drunk crane crown red, she had never seen anyone survive it before.
Looking at Su Yan’s pale, silent face, it seemed like a brief resurgence of vitality.
Liang Yue mocked,
"Awake? Su Yan, you truly are formidable, to have such a grip on our all-powerful Prince’s heart."
Su Yan remained silent, her gaze indifferent.
She looked at the blood on her neck, then her clear eyes met Yu Wenxu’s.
In her mind, Xiao Hua repeated every word of the conversation between Liang Yue and Yu Wenxu to her Host.
All decisions were to be made by the Host.
After a long while, Su Yan spoke,
"You don’t have to save me."
Her voice was cold, distinctly clear.
With those words, Yu Wenxu’s body stiffened.
Not sure why, but he felt she was somewhat different.
He had thought that she would beg him with tears to rescue her.
Normally, she herself had a strong healing ability,
yet she would whine and cry even over the smallest wound.
This time, with so much blood lost, she merely glanced once, seeming calm and detached.
Yu Wenxu stared at her for a long while.
He then pulled out a short dagger from his sleeve.
He drew the blade and raised his hand.
Su Yan’s eyes moved.
She seemed to know what this man was about to do.
Almost instantly, the ropes on her body were broken through.
She grabbed Liang Yue’s wrist, and a scream was heard.
Liang Yue, with her wrist now broken, lay on the ground pale and in agony.
In three steps, she leaped down from a high spot.
She grabbed Yu Wenxu’s hand.
And saw that the short dagger had already been plunged into his chest.
It went in just a little bit at the tip.
Not too serious.
