Li Hong Yuan propped up his chin, lazily leaning against the luohan couch that was the main seat. The jade table in the middle was slightly moved a little farther away. His entire person was extremely improper to begin with, entirely just ‘hedonistic son of a wealthy family’ written in big letters. However, he just had to carry an air of nobility along with laziness, then adding in that face of his, it just made one uncontrollably blush from looking.

(T/N: This is a louhan couch, the table in the middle is the tea table that can be removed.)

Take for example, the person that Kang Qinwang brought along. Although she was leaning in Kang Qinwang’s arms, that gaze was exceptionally wanton, carrying the glint of excitement. In the depths of her eyes, there even hid the rapacious desires of wolves, naturally also boundlessly enticing.

However, towards Li Hong Yuan, these were completely useless. He was still that absentminded look, his eyes empty to all, making one clench one’s teeth in anger, wanting to beat him to death. “So what? Just a plaything, this prince can have as many as one wants, sleeping one and tossing one. You at most can only pick up these broken toys to play with. Li Hong Yi, you really are increasingly regressing. At this time, you actually have the leisure mood to run to this prince’s place. No wonder you aren’t even close to being Li Hong Ming’s opponent. Say, if the Empress finds out about this matter, what will happen?”

Kang Qinwang’s complexion was clearly somewhat rigid, and naturally, there was also the overflowing anger. Getting said by Li Hong Yuan like this, the beauty in his arm seemingly also just lost her charm, singlehandedly having her pushed aside, “Imperial mother won’t care about this kind of trivial matter.”

Li Hong Yuan sneered, declining to comment.

“What’s so funny!” Even if he wanted to restrain his anger, every time at times like this, he was still unable to.

“This prince heard, the Empress has been very good to ninth imperial brother lately.” Li Hong Yuan nonchalantly said.

“Imperial mother treats everyone with equal favor.”

Li Hong Yuan softly chuckled, yet it made one even more angry than directly sneering. “Saying you’re stupid is just an insult towards the word ‘stupid’. Towards a hopelessly stupid, and even disobedient successor, switching with a slightly smarter and also absolutely obedient one, and more importantly, after the fact, will even be deeply grateful towards her, completely not affecting her position, why would she not do this?” Actually, on this matter, the Empress was even quite obvious, and the people that noticed were also quite numerous.

However, in the eyes of the perceptive ones, the Empress merely wants to sharpen up Kang Qinwang, letting him have sense of crisis, and at the same time, also become a little smarter. But, as the involved party, Kang Qinwang still hasn’t come to realize this bit. Based on that brain of his, he most likely will think the Empress really wants to replace him. And even if someone explains to him, he probably will still uncontrollably doubt and be suspicious.

And in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, whether the Empress was really just wanting to polish him, or actually wanting to replace him, this was something worth pondering over. For an overly ambitious woman, whether or not it was her son becoming the Emperor, what does it matter? What she wanted was just absolute control of the power when alive, and after dying, her honor and glory not wavering.

No matter how stupid Kang Qinwang was, he could still understand Li Hong Yuan’s meaning, his pupils rapidly shrinking, revealing a look of disbelief, just like an enraged beast, madly charging forward, seemingly wanting to wring Li Hong Yuan’s neck in half. “You bastard, what are you saying, if you have the guts say it again!”

Without Li Hong Yuan’s instructions, An Yi and them all didn’t move.

“Every time always the same result, yet you diligently and persistently come looking again and again. Wan Wan is right, this kind of person is just a masochist, really troublesome.” As if muttering, Li Hong Yuan softly spoke, appearing to not have any reaction. Yet, when Kang Qinwang approached, he suddenly got up, and afterwards, brazenly shot his foot out, just one kick, making Kang Qinwang fly backwards ten feet. Putting down his foot, he stood upright, the hem of his clothes yet to move, and his hair yet to mess up.

Kang Qinwang had traveled south for disaster relief, and along the way, encountered endless accidents, suffering serious injuries. Although the injuries weren’t as serious as one’d anticipated, it still wasn’t like how he appeared on the surface, completely without any problems. This kick of Li Hong Yuan’s was actually still considered merciful. Even so, Kang Qinwang still vomited blood.

As such, those bodyguards of his nearly all lost their souls. “Wangye, wangye………..”

“Tsk, what use is there getting angry at me, if you have that ability, go back and look for the Empress. How long has the Empress ignored you? Isn’t this the best evidence?”

Kang Qinwang held his chest, “Li Hong Yuan, you, you…………”

“What? Want to hit back? Do you have that ability? Or rely on these bodyguards of yours? Although I can’t slaughter you, but if I slaughter them, it’s nothing more than just dirtying the place.” That attitude was just like crushing ants to death, and not deciding a person’s life and death.

“I refuse to believe that imperial father will still endlessly side with you this time.” Kang Qinwang uncontrollably coughed twice.

Li Hong Yuan hooked up a mocking smile, “Last time beating you up at the Ding Duke Manor was more or less around the same time as this time, right?”

Kang Qinwang’s complexion instantly turned pale. How come he just forgot, every year at this time, imperial father was always out of sorts, his shielding towards Li Hong Yuan further without a bottom line. Unless Li Hong Yuan kills him, otherwise, never mind one kick, even if losing half his life, imperial father still won’t stand up for him.

With the internal fire attacking the heart, Kang Qinwang vomited another mouthful of blood and just directly fainted.

“Sure is weak.” Li Hong Yuan said in a cold tone, “Someone come, have them thrown out for this prince.”

However, in the end, still a qinwang, so for the people under Li Hong Yuan, it wasn’t good to be rough with him either. But, at this time, the people under Kang Qinwang were rather perceptive, not daring to say anything, taking Kang Qinwang and hurriedly leaving.

In the end, there still remained that woman, as well as her two servant girls. Kang Qinwang’s people this while were completely unable to look after them.

“Wangye is truly a carefree one, this humble one honestly admires.” Just now, even if she had gotten implicated by Kang Qinwang, getting humiliated by Li Hong Yuan, one was unable to see the slightest resentment. This while, she was still wanton and brazen.

This kind of woman, many men all want to conquer, and towards her own charm, she was also quite confident in. Right now, she also wanted to conquer this man. Even if having no power and no influence, he was nevertheless handsome and valiant, possessing a deadly attractiveness. If kidnapping onto the bed, that feeling will certainly be especially wonderful. Her body seemingly all began to shudder.

However, Li Hong Yuan looked to her more or less the same as looking to Kang Qinwang. This woman’s conceitedness, he’d already witnessed once in his past life, believing that any man that falls for her will ultimately all become the subject under her dress.

Really is the exact same as Ruan Fang Fei, just compared with Ruan Fang Fei, her brain was actually incomparably sober, and at the same time, also even more conceited. But towards this kind of woman, even prior to meeting Jing Wan in his past life, Li Hong Yuan all wasn’t interested in the slightest, let alone now. If not for needing her in his plans, Li Hong Yuan would’ve just taken her life now.

Just, in his past life, one was still able to exchange blows. The current her, in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, truly was a bit too tender.

“The same words, need this prince to say a second time?”

That woman was still confused as to what this meant, yet An Yi and them already broke out in cold sweat. Without a second word, they grabbed that woman and her two servant girls, directly dragging out, being exceptionally rough.

It was obvious, this was her first time encountering this kind of situation, and at the same time feeling dumbstruck, she subconsciously wanted to resist, but instantly endured. She was very clear, acting out now, she probably will die without a burial ground.

Confident and bold instantly became delicate and pitiful, looking to Li Hong Yuan like raindrops on a pear blossom, just like looking at a heartless traitor.

Li Hong Yuan rather engrossingly watched. Fingernail, earring, hairpin, and perhaps also the fragrance pouch on her. Really does have quite a few hidden poisons. Sealing the throat at the sight of blood, this kind of poison of course was just a joke, but poison that can kill someone within two hours definitely exists, further don’t need to mention knockout drugs and such. Speaking of which, Li Hong Yi’s guts are quite big, daring to be intimate with this kind of snake.

That woman’s expression was somewhat unable to be maintained. Although prior to entering Qi Yuan, she long knew that this man was unreasonable and unbridled, having no one in his eyes, and being gentle towards women also had a precondition, further not destroying any less flowers, she never thought that she would actually also suffer crushing defeat. Apart from this, she kept feeling that there was something wrong. Someone like him, why was he just an ‘idle wang’? Prior to meeting him in person, she although was puzzled inside, yet it was just wanting to know the reason. After meeting, her suspicions just grew even more. This kind of man, how could he be willing to reside under others?

Without waiting for orders, the servants just swiftly cleaned the floor.

Jing Wan walked out from the back room separated by a screen, pensively looking outwards.

Li Hong Yuan had her pulled over to sit next to him, “Shouldn’t it just be this prince in Wan Wan’s eyes?”

Jing Wan was a bit speechless. This man was a bit too sticky, “Treating Kang Qinwang like this, is it really okay?”

“Every year around this time, imperial father all won’t be clear-headed. As long as I don’t have the others killed, even if stabbing a hole into the heavens, he will still help me take responsibility. This bit of trivial matter, simply just don’t need to worry about.”

T/N: It should be pretty obvious this girl isn’t a ‘normal visitor’ from another country. And of course Kang Qinwang the easy prey for snakes.
