The Princess Wei Yang

household continuously birthed five sons without any daughters.
In order to draw their alliance, the Crowned Prince married a girl born from a concubine and since her status wasn’t high, she was only given the position of a side consort.
If she didn’t do this for the Crowned Prince, then why would Wei Guo furen want to harm Concubine Zhang De.
One, there is no animosity and two, there is no clash of conflicts between them —” Sun Yan Jun casually told Li Wei Yang the analysis of General Sun. Li Wei Yang’s face exposed a slight astonishment: “Is it really like this?” Sun Yan Jun expressed sympathy: “You should be wary of others, but you all don’t have much to worry about.
Your father does not participate in any of the power struggles between the princes.
Let’s consider this a fortunate misfortune.” 

Did not participate? This was merely an impression; Li Xiao Ran was basically holding back and waiting for the right time to reap the most profits.
The only problem was his dream of seeing her daughter become the queen had already been shattered so he didn’t know what steps to take next. “Because His Majesty had wronged Concubine Zhang De, he had been pacifying her! And I’ve also heard that Seventh Prince captured a white wolf so he was rewarded heavily ….” Sun Yan Jun continued to speak as Li Wei Yang’s gaze followed the Marquis of Bo Chang’s carriage, unsure of what she was thinking about. This hunting event had finally ended.
She gracefully declined Sun Yan Jun’s invitation and Li Wei Yang returned back to the Prime Minister’s residence. After returning to her room, Li Wei Yang ordered everyone to leave.
At this moment, seeing no one else here, she didn’t have to work hard to be strong, she can be weak without worries, and she didn’t have to be as courageous as she was. Tuoba Yu said: “I felt that you are strong enough to face everything.” At that point, how did she respond to him? Li Wei Yang couldn’t remember, she only felt extremely angry at that moment, very furious.
Even if she saw him as an ally, she had at least invested a little of her feelings.
She thought they could be soulmates and friends who would work together for the same goal.
But with Tuoba Yu saying this to her, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed.She was, of course, very strong, but she wasn’t strong enough that she could dealt with all situations of danger.
And especially when confronted by death, she was more frightened than anyone else.
In her dreams day and night, she was always in the desolated cold palace.
At times, she would even dream of her body crawling with lice.
This kind of terror, no one had experienced before so no one would be able to understand.
Tuoba Yu thought she was strong and had nothing to fear.
In actuality, it was the exact opposite; it was because she is afraid, frightened that if she became weaker, she would be toppled.
That was the main reason why she would eliminate every obstacle at all costs. She knew that sharp arrow would pierce through Gao Min but she still invited her. She knew Wei Guo furen would do whatever she could to frame Concubine Zhang De but she still told her who was the mastermind behind the incident. Li Wei Yang was a cold-hearted woman. She was thinking of this as she buried her face in the pillow. It had a scent of sunlight and fresh grass, which was entirely different from the scent of poison and blood in her dream. 

“Open your mouth!” Suddenly, a voice was heard from the side of the bed. Li Wei Yang was startled.
She lifted her gaze and saw Li Min De holding his head in one hand and pinching something in his other hand as he watched her. Li Wei Yang let out a smile: “What is that?” “Lotus balls.” Li Min De answered directly, “Don’t you like to eat this?” Li Wei Yang often ate the sweets from the Jade Pavilion but now she didn’t really have an appetite. Li Min De couldn’t help but frown.
He threw away the molded flour and said: “Then what do you want to eat?” “I don’t want to eat anything!” Li Wei Yang seldom feels impatient and she had instructed everyone to leave her and not let anyone enter.
How could Zhao Yue let this youngster come in? It was as if Min De had entered a room without the presence of anyone. After a long while, Li Wei Yang couldn’t hear him speak anyone.
She opened her eyes and discovered that the young boy had drooped his head.
She wasn’t able to fully see his expression but could notice an aura of sadness lingering in the air.
Instead of thinking he was upset to see Li Wei Yang who had always been gentle was able to become this annoyed, it was better to think that his feelings stemmed from her unexplained reason of reprimanding him! “Oh, I didn’t do it on purpose, Min De, I am just not feeling well.” Li Wei Yang sighed, she sat up and consoled him. Li Min De glanced up and blinked his eyes as if he was wronged.
His gentle expressions made her involuntarily felt that she had committed a grave sin. Li Wei Yang couldn’t stand this innocent expression and said: “Okay, okay, okay, I’m sorry.” “Did you encounter something unhappy during this trip?” Li Min De asked. Li Wei Yang stopped for a moment to think and said: “I’ve caused the deaths of a few people, I feel a little discontent in the heart.” “Survival of the fittest, the weak serves as the prey to the strong, these are the words you taught me.” The young boy lifted his head and locked his gaze with hers. Li Wei Yang was stunned, all of her actions were exactly like this.
If she didn’t kill, she would be killed.
She didn’t want to spend time grieving but seeing Wei Guo furen’s pain over her daughter’s incident, she could imagine Qi Yiniang (her mother) …….
She dropped her glance, “You are right ……” He suddenly thought of something, his face sunk, “Did someone anger you?” After saying this, he immediately became regretful.
He tested the waters by reaching out his hand and when he was about to lift her face, a cold droplet of tear unexpectedly landed on his palm.
It was indubitably icy cold, but the young boy’s heart felt as if it had been burnt, causing a piercing pain. Li Wei Yang lifted her head, her eyes didn’t have any trace of tears, making it seem like the tear in his palm was a mere delusion.
She smiled and at the young boy who didn’t know what to do with his hands, she said: “You …….”

 Now, the person who she could completely trust only remains him. If she could, she wished he would never change. “I won’t let anyone bully you.” He reached and caressed her soft hair. Li Wei Yang was stunned and she smiled.
At this moment, she thought he was simply joking, but she finds out afterward that she was wrong. This day, Zhao Nan quickly rode his horse to the Li residence. Zhao Nan rushed in front of Li Wei Yang and kneeled to report: “Xiaojie, your servant has failed you and didn’t succeed.” Li Wei Yang glanced at him and saw the blood on his shoulder.
She immediately understood what happened and softly said: “Are your injuries severe?” Zhao Nan lowered his head, he was very ashamed and self-condemned, “Your servant is fine.” Li Wei Yang told the astonished Zhao Yue: “Go help your brother wrap up his wound.” Zhao Nan injured his shoulder and a long sword had slit his chest, leaving a wound half a foot long.
Terrified, Zhao Yue couldn’t believe it: “Brother, who has the capability to inflict such an injury on you.” Zhao Nan shook his head; he almost could have bought back Li Min Feng’s head.
Unfortunately — there had to be a group of people that appeared and the old leading them was a young man.
Zhao Nan proudly deemed himself highly skilled in martial arts, so who would have expected him to suffer from such injuries.
Those people wielded long swords, allowing them to easily triumph over him and in the end, took Li Min Feng away from his hands …….
He must also blame himself, he didn’t expect his opponents to be this powerful! Li Wei Yang listened to his words and coldly laughed: “They are no doubt people of the Jiang family.” Li Min De had been listening on the side, he gently raised his brows and said: “Jiang family?” He thought it was odd, why was Li Wei Yang this certain that the people who saved Li Min Feng were from the Jiang family? Li Wei Yang nodded and smilingly said: “Min De, Da furen’s two older brothers have a total of five sons.
Each has its own talent, unlike ordinary people!” Li Min De smiled: “This I’ve actually heard of before, it’s only that — all of the Jiang’s men are assigned to the borders, how could they appear here?” Li Wei Yang calmly said: “Yes, they should be protecting the borders, yet they’ve left their posts.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any evidence or else this would be a death penalty for the Jiangs.” She raised her teacup and gently took a sip: “Zhao Nan, you’ve lost to the Jiang’s, that is not embarrassing at all.
You must know that the Jiang’s most important is not their family origin or their standing, but it is their five extremely talented sons.
They won’t watch Li Min Feng die and therefore would save him at all costs.
I just didn’t expect them to receive the news this quickly.
But this means they will find out what I have done and very soon, they will seek me out to settle this.”
