64: Princess Pingyang is truly a child who should not be befriended!
As soon as Li Shenyuan finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Mu Yunxiao's reply.
His arrogant demeanor immediately made Zhou Bing and others under him grit their teeth in anger.
They had already been seething when he intimately danced with Yan Consort earlier.
Now, Li Shenyuan's arrogant and condescending attitude brought their rage to a boiling point.
However, since the Yan King did not speak, they could only glare resentfully at Li Shenyuan's retreating back.
Sharing honor and disgrace with the Yan King, they felt an unprecedented sense of grievance at this moment!
How long would His Highness the Yan King endure this?!
After Li Shenyuan turned and left, Shen Xinrong and Princess Princess Pingyang also stood up to bid farewell.
Liu Zhen and the others who had come with them also rose and departed.
As for Ye Hangzhou, he had long since been teleported to who knows where; in fact, he was the most arrogant one, not even saying a word to the Yan King…
In an instant, the bustling square became empty, and every person under the Yan King was filled with anger, yet unsure how to vent it.
At this moment, Pei Shuyun, who had returned to sit beside Mu Yunxiao, tidied her appearance and then calmly rose to bid farewell to her nominal husband.
"Your Highness, this consort is a bit tired, so I shall take my leave first."
After Pei Shuyun curtsied slightly, she turned and departed, disregarding Mu Yunxiao's expression.
She had just begun to stroll away when Mu Yunxiao finally spoke in a cold voice:
"Does Wangfei enjoy dancing with that Li Shenyuan so much?"
Pei Shuyun stopped, not turning back, but merely tilted her head slightly and said expressionlessly:
"Lord Li, as the Imperial Envoy, and I, as the mistress of this Prince Yans Mansion, naturally must entertain him well."
"Then you agreed to dance with him? Couldn't you tell what his intentions were?!" Mu Yunxiao said with a grim face.
"Remember your status, you are this King's consort!"
"Yan Consort is merely a title, and it is not your place to control my affairs!" Pei Shuyun retorted coldly.
After a cold snort, she ignored Mu Yunxiao's gloomy expression and strode away!
Although the two were conversing, everything was shielded by Mu Yunxiao, and those present could only observe their changing expressions.
It seems His Highness and Wangfei are a bit displeased with each other…
The crowd exchanged glances, their anger dissipating considerably.
Come to think of it, with his legitimate consort being embraced and held, and chatting and laughing with another man right in front of him, wasn't His Highness the Yan King the most infuriated?
To be able to endure even this, His Highness truly lives up to his title; a person capable of great things is indeed different!
But soon, a heavy feeling settled in everyone's hearts: that Li Shenyuan held the incriminating evidence against Xu Mingzhi and the other three, so what about theirs?
If their own weaknesses also fell into Li Shenyuan's hands, then…
With that thought, everyone's hearts sank.
Following the Yan King to achieve great ambitions was to become a marquis and a prime minister!
It was not to end up with their family homes raided and their clans exterminated; no one wanted to reach that point.
Zhou Bing finally could not hold back and approached Mu Yunxiao, saying in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, this Li Shenyuan is truly too arrogant. If we let him continue to be so presumptuous, I fear none of the brothers will escape his clutches!"
Mu Yunxiao's gaze swept deeply over the eager faces of his generals, and finally, he slowly spoke in a chilling tone:
"Since he came to my Northern Frontier to suppress demons and eliminate treacherous officials, it is quite normal for him to die at the hands of ruthless devils. Let him return to the capital gloriously!"
"This subordinate understands!"
Zhou Bing's eyes gleamed as he nodded heavily in response, even trembling with excitement.
After a series of events, he had long wished for Li Shenyuan to be utterly crushed.
Now that His Highness the Yan King had spoken, the matter would be easy to handle.
The others were also greatly invigorated; His Highness the Yan King was finally going to strike back!
Only the Governor of Jizhou remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
At the same time, those who left with Li Shenyuan were all in high spirits, their faces beaming with smiles.
They were vastly different from the civil and military officials by the Yan King's side.
Since they were able to follow Li Shenyuan to the Northern Frontier to handle affairs, even if they didn't know everything, they were aware of some of the truth.
The Yan King was restless!
Now seeing the Yan King suffer a setback, they were naturally overjoyed.
Shen Xinrong and Princess Princess Pingyang walked on either side of Li Shenyuan, while Liu Zhen and the two other Golden-robed Demon Suppressors followed behind.
The rest of the people were much further away.
Seeing that they were already far from the Yan King, Liu Zhen finally could not help but say excitedly:
"Shengyuan, this move of yours is truly brilliant. I saw that Yan King's face was almost purple with rage."
The others also smiled at his words.
After laughing, Shen Xinrong then smiled at Li Shenyuan, "How was it? That Yan Consort must have been quite delightful, wasn't she?"
"Her enchanting and captivating demeanor even moved me when I saw it!"
Liu Zhen and the other two immediately coughed dryly and exchanged glances. Usually, they were good brothers, secretly going to brothels to listen to music or to the Jiaofang Division to see courtesans and relax.
But now it was time to leave, or they feared they would be dragged into trouble.
So they quickly laughed dryly, "Lord Li, we still have a house raid tomorrow, so we'll go back and make arrangements first. You two can chat slowly."
After speaking, the three of them vanished without looking back, heading straight for the suspended battleship above the Prince Yans Mansion.
The flying ship had ample space, enough for everyone to have their own room, so there was no need to stay overnight at the Prince Yans Mansion.
Li Shenyuan gave a resentful look at the three fellows who fled as if escaping.
If there were others present, Aunt Shen would certainly be considerate of his face.
But now…
Seeing that there were no other people around, Princess Princess Pingyang also dropped her princess demeanor and nodded in agreement, looking at Li Shenyuan with a pout and a hint of sourness as she hummed:
"I think Li Gege almost couldn't bear to let go of my aunt, he nearly threw himself into her arms!"
"I don't think it was as big as Xinrong Jie's!"
Shen Xinrong, who had been about to scold Li Shenyuan, immediately blushed crimson upon hearing Princess Princess Pingyang's words, and her accusatory demeanor vanished.
She playfully pinched Princess Princess Pingyang's slender waist and chided, "What nonsense are you talking about? How did this even get dragged back to me!"
"Aren't we supposed to be denouncing this bad guy?!"
Princess Princess Pingyang lowered her head and secretly peeked at Shen Xinrong again, even comparing herself to her, and whispered, "It's true, Xinrong Jie, why are you still shy?"
In truth, she was filled with envy about this. From a few past experiences, she also knew that Li Gege particularly liked that aspect, but alas, she wasn't ample enough; she was truly beyond teaching…
The more Princess Princess Pingyang spoke, the more embarrassed and flustered Shen Xinrong became. If it were just playful banter with Li Shenyuan in the privacy of their boudoir, it would be fine, and even being 'teachable' wouldn't be out of the question…
But Princess Princess Pingyang was still here!
Shen Xinrong finally glared fiercely at the smirking Li Shenyuan, pinched the soft flesh at his waist, and huffily resigned herself:
"Still laughing? It's all because of you!"
"If you're so capable, then go seduce that Yan Consort too, and let Princess Princess Pingyang see whose is truly bigger!"
