Chapter 105

She stood there without moving, her eyes fixed on the dagger in the leather sheath.

Lu Ziyan followed her gaze and looked down, saying, "When I arrived in Lingnan that year, I heard that there was a family of blacksmiths there, so I went there to order this pair of daggers."

He has been more stable than his peers since he was young, and becomes more and more silent as he gets older. The shallow and straightforward love of young people is very popular with him, but perhaps only half of it will be revealed in the details.

For example, he never told her that he was so anxious and rushed back home at dawn when he received the news that she was suffering from snow blindness.

But after coming back, she went to great lengths to find other men.

What piano music, what companionship, what gentle comfort.

That was the first time he tasted the bitterness of jealousy, and also the first time he was so afraid of another man.

He smiled and said, "Do you think that I blocked your carriage halfway and kidnapped you here, and that I was being arrogant and bullying too much?"

Xie Wan Ning didn't say anything.

But her expression clearly said, yes.

Lu Ziyan felt even more bitter and said angrily, "What do you think that sickly guy is? When you were my fiancée, he coveted you. When you were my wife, he still didn't give up and was thinking about you like a rat in a gutter."

As he spoke, his smile turned cold. "After two lifetimes of wandering around, you just took advantage of the fact that my memory awakened later than yours, snatched you away, and you still want me to accept my fate. Why should I accept my fate?"

If he had awakened his memories of his past life first, the situation between them would never have developed to this point.

How could she marry someone else?

In this life, she was already someone else's legitimate wife, a fact that made him want to vomit blood every time he thought of it.

These words contained a lot of information, and Xie Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat.

"...In my previous life, after I died, he..."

So, had Pei Yuqing really been silently paying attention to her in his previous life?

Lu Ziyan glanced at her and said, "Wanwan, you have to know that he was the one who got angry with me first. He has been trying to snatch my girl away in both of his lives, so I don't need to show any mercy to him."

This included abducting the other party's nominal wife and bringing her to his own courtyard.

He refused to say what Pei Yuqing had done after her death in his previous life, but his words revealed his resentment.

Xie Wan Ning listened quietly, but she couldn't help wondering in her heart how the man who had never appeared in front of her in her previous life would react when he heard the news of her death.

He also has heart disease.

Lu Ziyan could tell that she was distracted and a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

"What are you thinking? That sickly guy is always pretending to be weak. He is still alive and well after I die." He said, "I am the one who truly died for you. After killing all the enemies, I will use my own life to apologize for your sin."

He spoke calmly, and as if he were talking about a trivial matter, Xie Wan Ning felt mixed emotions.

There was panic and shock, but more than that, I felt that he was getting more and more crazy.

Lu Ziyan glanced at her, reached out to pick up the dagger on the table, pulled out the leather sheath, and said calmly, "Didn't you say you would sentence me to death? Come and execute me."

Xie Wan Ning still didn't move.

"Fear?"

"If you're afraid of killing me and being held accountable, you can rest assured."

He put down the dagger and smiled at her, "This house is my private residence. No one will know you have been here. After I die, Mingjian and the others will clean up the mess for you. Everyone will only know that I died of a relapse of my old illness. You can just go back and be the Crown Prince's Consort of the Duke's Mansion."

"Wanwan, let me say it again," he paused, slowly restrained his smile, and said lightly: "This is your only chance to get rid of me in this life. As long as I am alive, I will never let you go no matter what." He was sincere and said everything clearly.

Perhaps he really felt soft-hearted because he saw her emotional breakdown, or maybe he wanted to take a gamble and find out whether she had really let it go as she said, and whether she still had any reluctance to let go of him.

So he decided to give her this chance.

As long as she was ruthless enough and ended his life with one strike of the knife, she would be completely free from the entanglement with him in this life.

Xie Wan Ning's eyes fell on the dagger on the table.

When she received it, she was very happy and gave it a name.

Cut the moon.

Her sword is called Cai Yue, and I don’t know what this one is called.

Xie Wan Ning finally moved. She walked step by step to the table. Lu Ziyan's eyes were fixed on her, but she ignored him and reached out to grasp the hilt of the knife inlaid with a ruby.

The blade made of fine iron gleamed bright water color under the candlelight, sharp and cold.

With Lu Ziyan's temper, no matter what the reason was for his decision, as long as she really dared to stab him with a knife, he would definitely not go back on his word.

With this one strike, she might really be able to end everything.

Stab him in the chest or the neck?

The neck is not in good condition, the wound is too obvious, and the excuse of a recurrence of an old illness is not acceptable.

That is... the chest.

But what happens after you stab it?
He was a brave and skilled military commander who had never been defeated in a battle. However, the Khan had been plagued by internal and external troubles for a long time, and what he lacked most was a military commander who could lead troops into battle.

Although she only lived to the age of eighteen in her previous life, it was enough time for her to know how important this person was to the Khan.

Even though he was just a minister, the emperor treasured him very much, not to mention his true identity was...

Of course, she is just a girl in the boudoir, and it is not her turn to worry about the country and the people. No matter how chaotic the country is, there are ministers to find solutions, and if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

She was born rich, so even if the country was in ruins, only the poor people would suffer, not her.

Killing him won't have any effect on her...

Xie Wan tightened the handle of the knife in his hand and suddenly asked.

"You said you were attacked when you came back from the battlefield in the northern border. Was it the eldest prince who did it?"

She had just left the monastery when she heard about his victory over Northern Frontier and the capture of the Northern Frontier prince alive.

The Khan only needs to wait for the Northern Frontier to actively seek peace before deciding whether to return the hostages.

Such a great victory not only inspired the border soldiers guarding the city gates, but was also enough to deter the domestic villains.

The occasional unrest caused by bandits in various places has finally settled down.

However, despite this victory being celebrated by the whole nation, he was attacked and nearly died on his way back to Beijing.

Lu Ziyan seemed a little surprised that she suddenly asked this question. His eyes slightly raised, and then he nodded and said, "It's him."

"He knows your identity. Seeing that you won the battle, he is afraid that you will threaten his position as the crown prince, so he wants to get rid of you?" Xie Wan Ning was puzzled. "He is the eldest son of the emperor. His reputation is well-known. People in the court and the country admire him very much. You..."

Even if he won the battle and even if his status was restored, he was still the emperor's illegitimate son, and an illegitimate son raised outside. Such a birth would not be enough to affect his inheritance rights as the eldest son of the emperor, right?
