Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 334: The Price of Realization

In comparison, the one that was frightened the most severely was precisely Mei Yi, and not just because of this bloody scene. After all, someone like Mei Yi, even if having experienced through storms, it was still just the ups and downs of her own life, the path bumpy and full of thorns. Regardless whether it was having unswerving determination, or being ruthless and cold, it all didn’t mean that she can just calmly face this kind of bloody scene. Also, originally for the sake of preventing mishap, thus entirely used the people of Louxie Fang, but an assassination attempt still occurred. When it wasn’t the people under her, she could still manage to not be investigated, but now, how can she escape the blame…………

After returning to her senses, Mei Yi hurriedly kneeled onto the ground. Compared to the fright brought about by the bloody scene, the dread right now was heavier. Her body somewhat uncontrollably trembled, “Wangye, this slave, this slave…………..”

Li Hong Yuan simply didn’t pay her any attention. Right now, he needed to comfort his wife. Alright, Jing Wan’s condition actually wasn’t that serious as imagined. No matter how great of a shock, it probably all can’t compare with the first time seeing Li Hong Yuan slice someone’s neck like a death god. The scene just now she didn’t even see, so can’t even be considered shocked. Just, her mood was affected, that’s all.

Jing Wan patted Li Hong Yuan’s hand, and then turned around, “This matter, we will investigate clearly. As long as it’s confirmed to have nothing to do with owner, then we won’t make things difficult for owner. Why don’t you get up for now.”

Mei Yi carefully peeked at Jing Wan, seeing Jin Qinwang’s aloof attitude, she slowly stood up. Just, her legs were still a little weak.

Once the mood was ruined, then naturally no matter what one was doing, all no longer that interested.

Li Hong Yuan had his hand placed on Jing Wan’s stomach, “Are you hungry? How about letting someone go back to bring some food over?”

Jing Wan shook her head. She wasn’t hungry to begin with, and now, she kept feeling that there seemingly was a bit of a bloody scent in the air, not having any appetite. She somewhat absentmindedly watched the performance outside, “Things won’t just be over with like this, right?” If the meticulously arranged assassination was just this level, even she would all feel a bit disappointed.

“En, but don’t worry, won’t let them appear in front of us again.” To have let the person approach this close, even having a hidden dagger, that was the negligence of the people inspecting below. This kind of thing can happen once, but absolutely won’t happen a second time. However, under normal circumstances, negligence of duty was also something that shouldn’t exist. The people below, sure enough, is lacking in discipline again.

Even with the situation right now, Jing Wan didn’t consider just returning home either. It was obvious that a certain someone should have some sort of plan, and perhaps also borrowing this opportunity to fish.

In reality, everything was also just as predicted. Lively on the surface, yet in the dark, a bloody battle has already began to unfold, just like, for instance, below the pleasure boat, the people attempting to have the pleasure boat sunk. Yet, in the end, before even approaching, they’d already met with a powerful slaughter. That blood, in the dark, mixed into one with the river water. Perhaps because of completely not arousing the disturbance that should exist again and again, they just attempted to create a disturbance among the crowd in the surrounding. However, the outcome of this was similarly soundlessly getting put to an end. The ones among the crowd, and on the others pleasure boats, all got dragged into the water. Together with those in the water, as long as it was one within Linchuan River’s range, not a single one escaped.

It was also fortunate that it was in the dark of night, and the great majority of the people were all drawn to the hundred boat parade, as well as the brilliant performance. If in broad daylight, it definitely would’ve caused a great disturbance already.

Of course, it wasn’t possible that no one noticed these. At least, the mastermind behind this assassination attempt, after waiting a long time, yet unable to hear good news, was exceptionally fretful. Hearing the hurried footsteps, he was immediately like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. After confirming that the other party was their own, he finally somewhat relaxed a breath, hurriedly going forward, “How is it?”

The other party’s face was deathly pale, tremblingly opening his mouth, “De-dead, not, not a single one returned.”

He was nearly frightened to death by this news, “Go, quickly go, immediately leave this place———”

Just, the moment he turned around, he finally noticed that the god of death was already standing before him.

They pounced forward like a pack of hungry wolves. There was no leeway to resist, just getting seized immediately.

And these people, in their hearts, just had two words remaining: It’s over!

Probably, no matter what, they were all unable to figure out why they would lose this quickly and this thoroughly, just like as if all their plans were all under the other party’s eyelids. What was produced was also an indescribable fear. Although this was their first time participating in assassinating someone of the Li imperial clan, but this kind of thing, they’d nevertheless heard quite a bit of from their elders. In the last one hundred years, although they had times when they lost, but most of the times, it was winning. It was how they slaughtered the people of the imperial clan, how they caused great disturbances for the imperial clan. Not a single place didn’t have their remarkable accomplishments written down. Every time they heard, their blood would boil in excitement, hating that they can’t personally experience a few times. But when actually participated………….

Speaking of which, in the last one hundred years, the so called previous dynasty has already thoroughly become old history. The reason why these people were still immersed in it, unable to free themselves, a very large portion of it was because of two points: One, it was that bunch of mudfish that stole their glory, wealth, and power. And two, they may be lowly peasants now, but they can trample on the imperial clan, making the imperial clan fear them. The previous generation’s brainwashing towards the next generation, for the most part, all started from here. Today’s reality, however, had ruthlessly fanned them a slap across the face.

An Yi quietly ascended the pleasure boat, “Master, things have already been settled.”

Li Hong Yuan indifferently responded.

“Has it ended?” Jing Wan, who was leaning on Li Hong Yuan, softly asked.

“En, ended.” Li Hong Yuan gently caressed her hair.

“Feels there’s the smell of blood.” Jing Wan wiggled her nose.

“Is that so? Then let’s go back?”

“Rather, don’t mind this bit of time. ———–Owner, should almost be over with, right?”

“Replying to young gentleman, there’s probably still another half hour before it ends.” Mei Yi immediately replied.

Jing Wan nodded, just half an hour, that’s all, “Can go back after we finish watching.”

“All listen to you.”

In the last round of the flower boats and pleasure boats’ ‘parade’, little flower lanterns were lit in the waters behind them like the stars. Seemingly it was placing them down as they glided along the waters.

Compared to placing river lanterns to make a wish during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the amount was even two to three times more of that. The spaced out distance was also long enough, and the two shores also didn’t light any lanterns. In fact, after the pleasure boats and flower boats began placing down the little flower lanterns, they gradually put out their own lanterns, so the lanterns in the river just appeared especially bight.

In that instant, it made one feel as if it was lighting up the Milky Way.

(T/N: BTW the chinese name for the Milky Way ‘银河’ translates to silver river.)

Jing Wan couldn’t help but lean forward, leaning against the edge of the window. After staring for while, “Really pretty.” She softly voiced.

“En, indeed quite pretty.” Li Hong Yuan acknowledged. His fingers were curled around the ends of her hair, coiling lock by lock.

Shortly after, the opened walls of the Thousand Flower Stage also gradually began to fold up one by one, all the way until it returned to its original state. After putting out the lanterns inside, it was just formally declared that the hundred boat parade this time has ended.

Perhaps because of this last ‘river of silver lights’, Jing Wan’s mood improved quite a bit. “Wangye, let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

Without needing to specifically order, Eunuch Mu just hurriedly went to arrange.

With Jin Qinwang’s pleasure boat starting to move, planning to return home, the others naturally also successively began preparing, and only when Jin Qinwang leaves can they finally start moving…………….As for whether it was going home, or having gotten their souls hooked by these ‘little demons’, preparing to spend the night, only they themselves knew.

However, tonight, these twelve establishments’ head courtesans have exhausted quite the stamina, so as long as the brothel keeper isn’t crazy, most likely won’t let them continue accompanying the customers.
