Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on Wu Wang's bedroom door.

Tuk tuk.

Very rhythmic three strokes.

Wu Wang opened his eyes all at once.

Enduring the pain from the wound, he sat up cautiously, and said in the direction of the door.

"The door is unlocked."

There was a creak.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Li Ying, dressed in black, stepped over the threshold and walked in quietly.

He took out the fire folder and lit the oil lamp on the low bedside cabinet.

Dim light spread in the room.

Li Ying called his uncle in a low voice.

Wu Wang leaned back on the pillow. His complexion was already fairer than ordinary people. Now that he was seriously injured, his face was even paler, almost sickly. His long black hair was scattered behind him, his eyebrows and eyes were soft and deep, and he had a strange and indistinguishable beauty. .

He asked hoarsely, "Why are you here?"

Li Ying: "I heard that you were injured, so I came here to see you."

Wu Wang smiled indifferently.

"It's just a small injury, it won't die."

Li Ying hesitated, but decided to ask out the doubts in his heart.

"That assassin, is it you..."

Wu Wang readily admitted.

"It was arranged by me, that assassin was originally a slayer I trained.

I deliberately let him show his high-strength martial arts in front of King Dongyang, so that King Dongyang recruited him as a guest. "

He paused and added.

"I have arranged more than one eyeliner beside King Dongyang. When you gradually take over these things in the future, you will naturally know."

When he heard the news that Wu Wang was seriously injured in order to protect the emperor, Li Ying guessed that this matter was probably planned by Wu Wang, so he came to visit late at night and wanted to ask clearly in person.

Li Ying frowned: "Why didn't you discuss it with me before you did these things?"

If he hadn't learned the news of his uncle's injury from others, he would still be kept in the dark.

Wu Wang smiled again: "There is no need to discuss such a small matter, I can handle it by myself."

Li Ying lowered his head, looked at the shadow at his feet, and said something sullenly.

"This is not the first time."

Wu Wang didn't understand, so: "What?"

Li Ying: "Whether it was arranging assassins this time, or provoking Xiliang people to kidnap Manman last time, you didn't discuss it with me."

Wu Wang comforted in a gentle voice: "I don't need to bother you with things that I can solve by myself."

Li Ying raised his head and looked at him deeply.

"You don't actually believe me, do you? You're afraid that I will mess up your plan, so you always arrange things by yourself without saying anything."

Wu Wang was helpless: "Why do you think so? You are my nephew, the only relative I have in this world. If I can't even trust you, who else can I trust?"

Li Ying was silent for a while, then suddenly asked.

"Uncle, are you really my uncle?"

This question made Wu Wang's heart skip a beat.

He frowned, and asked without answering: "What are you talking about? How could I not be your uncle?"

Li Ying stopped talking.

Having depended on each other for so many years, he almost pinned all his family affection on Wu Wang.

In his opinion, Wu Wang's uncle is his only reliance, the only relative he can trust unconditionally in this world.

He thought Wu Wang thought the same way.

Now, however, he is a little shaken.

It seems that Wu Wang doesn't trust him that much, and Wu Wang sometimes guards against him.

Wu Wang let out a long sigh: "You have to trust me, no matter what I do, I will do it for your own good."

Li Ying laughed self-deprecatingly: "For me?"

Wu Wang said seriously.

"The less you know, the safer you will be. Even if things happen unfortunately in the future, it will be my fault alone, and you will not be implicated."

Li Ying was slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect his uncle to think so.

Wu Wang's eyes were filled with sadness, but his tone was extremely decisive.

"You are the only family member I have left in this world, and I hope you can live a good life more than anyone else.

But I can't forget your mother's death.

As her close relatives, we must avenge her.

I would give everything for this, even my own life. "

At the end, he emphasized his tone, his eyes were slightly red, obviously he was ready to sacrifice everything.

Li Ying thought of his mother's disfigured state when she died, and the sufferings that their mother and son had suffered in the palace, old and new hatred came to his heart, he was very touched, and felt a little ashamed for a while.

How could he doubt his uncle?

For so many years, his uncle has been taking care of him in secret.

Without his uncle, he might have died somewhere in the palace long ago, and he would never have had the chance to grow up.

He may dislike his uncle's behavior, but he cannot doubt his uncle's kindness to him.

Just like what uncle said just now.

His uncle was his relative, and if he couldn't even trust his uncle, then there would be no one in this world worthy of his trust.

Li Ying said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I said something wrong just now, I shouldn't doubt you."

Wu Wang looked at him fixedly.

"You haven't forgotten the oath you once made, have you?"

Li Ying said seriously: "Of course I haven't forgotten, my mother died of torture, I will definitely pay the blood price of those who hurt her, so that my mother can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

Wu Wang showed a look of relief: "It's good that you haven't forgotten your original intention."

After he finished speaking, he frowned, showing pain on his face.

Li Ying hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?"

Wu Wang took a deep breath: "It's okay, it's just that the wound hurts a little, just bear it and pass."

Li Ying: "I heard that King Zhao came to see you today. After he left, your wound opened. Did he do something to you?"

Wu Wangwang answered irrelevantly: "He has already started to doubt me."

Li Ying was stunned.

Wu Wang frowned and said worriedly.

"The reason why I resorted to bitter tricks is to take advantage of the saint's protection to avoid King Zhao's investigation for the time being.

But you should know that King Zhao is very difficult to deal with.

I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime. King Zhao is a big hidden danger to me after all. "

Li Ying was puzzled: "How could King Zhao suspect you? Obviously we did everything very clean and didn't leave any clues."

Wu Wang: "This is also what I don't understand."

Obviously there is no evidence, why Zhao Wang can lock him so accurately?

This thing is so weird.

Wu Wang suppressed his chaotic thoughts.

"The matter has reached this point, and it is useless to investigate the cause. We have to speed up the process. When necessary, it is not impossible to resort to some special measures."

When he said the last sentence, he deliberately lowered his voice, showing a bit of gloom.

Li Ying's heart skipped a beat: "Are you in a hurry?"

Wu Wang said in a deep voice: "I don't want to be in such a hurry, but if we don't hurry up, King Zhao will attack me, and we can't sit still and wait for death."

Li Ying also knew that things had come to this point, and they had no other choice.

In the end, he could only acquiesce in his uncle's decision.
