The Choice Queen's

TCQ 32: Desperate

After the banquet, rumors spread throughout the capital. The walls and doors have eyes and ears, the servant speaks to the other servant and to the other servant. The other servants spread it back to the outsiders, and in just one day, everyone had known what was happening.

He said the relationship between the brothers of the Great Lord Danchuan was not good and his sister envied her brother and poisoned him. It was natural because her brother was more beautiful and loved first. This kind of action has happened a lot among large families, but never expected to make someone give up everything to save lives.

As a result, Li Shiyu was scorned by everyone. Every time he stepped out of the residence, he would get many throws of rotten vegetables and fruits. People call her a cruel rotten woman.

That was because the one he was hurting right now was the Sword Saint, a rare official that there were only two people throughout the established dynasty. People would certainly not let criminals interfere with the safety of such a rare woman.

Li Shiyu lost her pride and was extremely depressed. It's more horrible than being punished and imprisoned. The social sanctions he received were so great. The reaction of the capital was more unexpected. He could only remain silent within the residence in fear, as if if the door gap opened, then a group of people would break into it and throw it directly.

“Dad, I know I was wrong! But, can you tell those people to leave?”

Li Shiyu knelt in front of Li Yan, he cried as he pleased. Really, he doesn't want to be like this. Li Shiyu, who could usually roam freely, was now afraid to step on his feet. Depressed and angry, he can only find his father to get his way out.

However, Li Yan did not react. Compared to everyone, he was the most depressed. Li Yan was still haunted by the guilt towards Li Fengran. In addition, the power that had been in his hands for decades had been released, and now the people surrounded his residence.

The king did still give him the right to manage Danchuan as a great lord, but that did not mean everything went as smoothly as it used to. Li Yan also had difficulty stepping foot, because when he came out, the people who threw him scorn were the officials and ministers in the court. It's even worse.

“Basic don't know yourself! Shut up and reflect on all your mistakes! The king has generously forgiven your life. You think, after you almost killed his Sword Stake, he would release you? Shiyu, she is not only your sister, she is also my daughter and an official at the King's side! Can't you understand?”

“Dad, why did you even defend your sister? He is protected by the King, if father also sided with him, who will be my back?”

“Do I have to side with a child who has a narrow heart like you?”

The fact that Li Shiyu and Li Fengran were his daughters, it further distressed Li Yan. He massaged his temple and sighed many times. It was his own fault for not being able to properly educate Li Shiyu to the point of giving him a loophole to harm his sister.

“If you want to survive, then obey my orders. Two more days we'll be back to Danchuan!”

Another news that spread after the internal strife of the Danchuan Great Lord's family was about the Great Lord of Zichuan, Shen Jinglang, who lost his military power. That's even more interesting to talk about, given that Zichuan has been the most powerful state territory of the rest. Knowing the King managed to seize military power, the residents of the capital cheered.

Shen Jinglang was unlike Li Shiyu who was pelted with rotten vegetables and fruits. He can still roam freely without fear.

It was because he was the ruler, and the residents of the capital would not dare to be too brash on him. He only talked about and endured the humiliation behind, he could not accept the throws of foul objects.

His anger has not died down. To calm down while venting out anger, Shen Jinglang went to Feng Qing, the largest brothel in the capital. She served two beautiful women who faithfully poured and accompanied her to drink wine, as well as two other women who were willing to dance in transparent clothes for her.

He rented a special room on the top floor. Shen Jinglang was young and dazzling, the comforting girls were so excited. No one cared what his identity was like, as every man who entered into Feng Qing was a guest to be served.

“Mari, Young Master, I will pour more wine for you,” the girl in light blue clothes raised a pot of wine, then poured it over the cup.

“Young Master, eat this snack,” the girl in purple dress gives her a piece of cake.

Most of them are low status. If successfully cherished, at least they will be drawn into concubines by someone and enjoy wealth. Of course this happens to everyone. Seeing Shen Jinglang seem to be venting her anger, the girls grew even more excited.

The wine and snacks were mixed with aphrodisiacs. Shen Jinglang felt burning, his entire body heating up. A cup of wine came back into his mouth. The top of his clothes was open, displaying a sturdy field chest. The burning sensation was getting more and more burning.

Shen Jinglang pulled the purple-clothed girl's hand, slightly overstretched her and kissed her neck. The girl looked timid, her hands taking the initiative to open Shen Jinglang's robe. He thought, he would benefit if he managed to serve him tonight. However, a moment later Shen Jinglang snorted.

“You're not him.”

Thinking that the girl in purple was not the woman he was looking for, Shen Jinglang immediately restrained herself and got up. The purple-clothed girl looked sad because Shen Jinglang did not want her to.

The burning sensation centered on his lower body, as if wanting to be immediately released and treated. Shen Jinglang snorted again and cursed.

“Damn it! Go!”

The four girls who heard him were frightened, then ran out from inside the room. Shen Jinglang broke the cup, then injured his own palm to keep his consciousness. He knew there was an aphrodisiac within his body reacting, yet Shen Jinglang was not a person who fell easily.

“Li Fengran, since you chose this path, I will accompany you and snatch you from the side of the King!”

No one knew, the person that this Great Lord Zichuan liked was Li Fengran, the woman who was now a Sword Saint. Five years ago was Shen Jinglang's first meeting with Li Fengran. At that time, King Nangong held the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and invited the four great masters to the palace.

Li Fengran was not yet a mature woman back then. Shen Jinglang had become the Great Lord, she was attracted to him because of her innocence and beauty.

Who would have thought, it persisted until now and made Shen Jinglang have a lot of wild fantasies on him. She even wanted to make her as the ruler's wife, but Queen Ling suddenly held an election and Shen Jinglang lost the chance.

Shen Jinglangt ahu Li Fengran had been poisoned before. Therefore on a snowy night before the election began, he secretly came to the capital and infiltrated the palace.

Shen Jinglang bribed some servants and added a poison trigger into the food, so Li Fengran vomited blood and nearly died. But, he knew Li Fengran would not die.

That was the moment when he came to Changsun Palace and asked the maids to send him away. Once again, Shen Jinglang lost his chance because Li Fengran suddenly came to a realization. The woman contested the election until it was over and made the King choose her as the Stakeholder of the Sword.

Shen Jinglang was certainly furious. On knowing Shen Lihua held a grudge against Li Fengran, Shen Jinglang immediately warned her against touching Li Fengran.

Now every time he thought of Li Fengran standing beside the King calmly, Shen Jinglang became extremely wrathful and vengeful.

Blood flowed from his palm. It seemed, he could not delay any longer. The defeat at the banquet showed that the King already knew his intentions and warned him not to mess around.

Shen Jinglang grinned. Military power has indeed been taken, but that does not mean Shen Jinglang will be a obedient dog. He still had many unexpected backup plans.

“King Nangong, I will definitely make you give up everything willingly!”
