The Demonic Crown Prince

Liu Yuwen chuckled disdainfully, "How dare I? The King of Qin is so majestic; how could I, a mere lowly official, presume to mock him?"

Li Yuan ignored him, then suddenly turned to look at Emperor Jinglong, who was about to stand up. "Father, isn't sarcasm and verbal attacks considered an insult to others?"

Emperor Jinglong was taken aback, not quite understanding yet, and nodded, "Of course it counts."

"That's fine then." Li Yuan nodded.

He then turned around, his eyes flashing with malice, "Liu Yuwen, you son of a bitch! How dare you talk to me like that?! I won't let you humiliate me like this!"

He grabbed Liu Yuwen by the chest and slapped him four times in a row, making Liu Yuwen sway and fall to the ground.

Li Yuan was holding back; otherwise, he could have smashed his head in with a single slap.

"You, you dare hit me? Ouch..."

Liu Yuwen coughed up blood, along with a few charred teeth.

A fierce glint flashed in Li Yuan's eyes as he turned to stare at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui was taken aback and instinctively waved his hands wildly, blurting out, "I, I didn't say anything..."

"Even if you say it, it's fine. After all, you're my father-in-law. How could I hit you?"

Li Yuan grinned.

A burst of laughter immediately erupted around them, with the military officers deliberately laughing loudly.

This King of Qin, so quick to avenge wrongs, is just like them!

Xu Rui finally realized what was happening, his face turning a deep purple with embarrassment. He turned to Emperor Jinglong and said, "Your Majesty, how dare the Prince of Qin be so presumptuous in court! He completely disregards Your Majesty and the court..."

But just as he finished speaking, Li Yuan suddenly pulled out a handwritten edict from Emperor Jinglong from his pocket and flashed it in front of Xu Rui.

"My lord, you'd better read this carefully. This is a personal edict from my father, the Emperor. It's written very clearly that if anyone dares to bully me again, I should return the favor."

As Father just said, sarcasm and verbal bullying constitute bullying of others and can be retaliated against.

"I was ordered to beat people, what wrong have I done?"

"Huh?" Duke Qi, Xu Rui, looked over in shock, and then suddenly remembered that the Second Prince had been tricked by him in the same way before, and hadn't gotten out of bed yet.

"Yes, we can testify. It was Liu Yuwen who made sarcastic remarks to the King of Qin, which earned him a slap in the face."

"Exactly, he deserved it!"

A group of military officers watched with great interest, and they all chimed in as witnesses.

"What do you think this place is? A vegetable market? Get out of here, all of you!"

Emperor Jinglong was speechless with bitterness and had no way to vent his anger. With a loud shout, he ordered the palace guards to drive all the court officials out.

As for Liu Yuwen, he was injured and enraged, and immediately fainted on the spot. He had to be carried out by several guards.

"Your Highness, King Qin, you're amazing!"

"Passionate and righteous, always seeking revenge—this is what a prince of the Li family, who established their nation through martial prowess, should be like."

A group of military officers gave a thumbs-up as they walked out.

Since Emperor Jinglong came to power, he has valued civil officials over military officials, and military officials have been suppressed by civil officials for a long time.

Now that they finally saw someone strike at the civil officials so thoroughly, they felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction!

"It's all what I should do," Li Yuan said, bowing to everyone in a show of feigned modesty.

"Li Yuan, come with me!"

At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out beside me.

As soon as Li Yuan turned around, he saw Jiang Zhanyue staring at him expressionlessly.

"She didn't even address the King of Qin properly; she has no manners whatsoever. She's truly a female Tyrant Dragon."

Li Yuan muttered to himself, but he could only follow—he was quite curious as to what Jiang Zhanyue wanted with him.

Hmm, could it be that he's going to say thank you? Or maybe, in the heat of the moment, he'll offer himself in return?

This is a classic scene from ancient times.

If that's really what she thinks... then for her sake, let's reluctantly accept it!

For a moment, his mind began to wander.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Zhanyue stopped in a deserted alley nearby and turned to look at Li Yuan.

It wasn't until he stood opposite her that Li Yuan realized how tall this female warrior was; she was already over 180 cm tall, only slightly shorter than him.

And she had an incredibly hot figure; in later generations, she would definitely be considered a world-class supermodel.

While admiring the beautiful women, Li Yuan laughed heartily, "Deputy Commander Jiang, what are your instructions?"

Why are you helping me?

Jiang Zhanyue stared at him with her clear, bright eyes and asked.

Li Yuan really wanted to say, "Look at your big boobs," but fearing Jiang Zhanyue would explode on the spot, he changed his words to, "I'm just stating a fact and helping you out."

Jiang Zhanyue looked at him for a long time, then slowly nodded, "Someone must be trying to muddy the waters in this mess."

"How so?" Li Yuan asked, raising an eyebrow, intrigued.

Jiang Zhanyue paused for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, before finally saying, "Now that your position as crown prince has been revoked, all the princes are eager to make their move and are constantly expanding their own power. The General's Office of the Capital Region is naturally an important target for them to win over."

General Zhou Xingye of the Capital Region General Command is now old and bedridden, leaving only two deputy generals, one of whom is me, and the other is Sun Guanjia.

It is said that Sun Guanjia's wife is related to the Third Prince's consort. Whether Sun Guanjia had an affair with the Third Prince is currently unknown.

But one thing is certain: this matter is probably inseparable from him.

If I am convicted, even if His Majesty shows leniency because of my status as a descendant of a Duke, I will certainly lose the qualification to compete for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Region. In the end, it is self-evident who will benefit.

Therefore, I must be eliminated.

Eliminating me would also strike a blow at you, and at the same time make you mistakenly believe that all of this was done by the Second Prince's faction, thereby intensifying your conflict and making you fight even more fiercely.

There is indeed a mastermind behind this!

Fortunately, you didn't fall for it.

Otherwise, not only will I be convicted, but you will also be dragged into this mess!

Looking at Li Yuan, Jiang Zhanyue's eyes revealed a hint of approval.

"Ha, some brains, not big breasts... but empty-headed!"

Li Yuan looked Jiang Zhanyue up and down, and was impressed.

To be honest, it was precisely because he had thought of this that he helped Jiang Zhanyue.

"Are you sure this is related to that sickly man, and not something orchestrated by the Second Prince's faction?"

He asked.

"Xu Rui and Liu Yuwen are indeed powerful, but they are in the open, and their conflict with you is becoming public."

However, there are some things that cannot be done so drastically, as they would attract too much attention.

And precisely because their conflict with you is out in the open, they become vulnerable to being exploited by others!

"I don't care, but you're in for a bit of trouble. After all, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!'"

Li Yuandao was referring to the competition for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Region.

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll build earthen embankments. The Jiang family has never feared bloodshed on the battlefield, so why would they fear these insidious blades and cold guns?"

Since someone couldn't hold back and made the first move, then it's time to face my counterattack.

Jiang Zhanyue gave a cold laugh, his eyes looking down at her.

A breeze blew by, causing his black hair to fly, giving him the imposing presence of an invincible general on the battlefield.

This also made Li Yuan somewhat tempted; it was truly a spirited and beautiful horse.

"Should we help each other out? After all, we have a common enemy."

Li Yuan asked.

"No need. Let each do their own thing. I, Jiang Zhanyue, do not need anyone's help."

Jiang Zhanyue raised his head and said proudly.
