Who would raise a villain as a wife?

Jiang Li suddenly smiled and held the dagger against He Yunjing's neck.

The dagger was sharp and cut through the skin in an instant, with drops of blood falling out.

He Yunjing's eyelashes trembled, but he did not avoid it. His gaze fell gently into Jiang Li's eyes, which were dark and full of resentment.

Jiang Li curled her lips coldly, looking down at He Yunjing, "Are you too naive to think that you can threaten me by holding something against me? Not to mention that you can't produce evidence, even if you can, what's the use? If you kill me, the diplomatic relations between our two countries will be shattered, and war will be imminent.

Imprisonment is useless. They can't see my people and can't receive my news, so they will act immediately. When the Wu Kingdom starts a civil strife, it will be the best time for the Lin Kingdom to attack. No matter how smart you are now, this is a dead end."

He Yunjing couldn't deny it, but what he cared about was the national hatred and family feud between them. As long as they were in opposition, it would be impossible for them to put aside their past grudges and be together, and Jiang Li couldn't let down her guard against him.

He Yunjing took the initiative to bump into the dagger, deepening the wound. Blood gushed out, flowing down his neck and chest into the water, and quickly dissipated, leaving only a faint smell of blood in the air.

Jiang Li's hand holding the dagger trembled a little, and her eyes widened as she looked at He Yunjing in disbelief.

Why did he bump into me? Why didn't he resist at all?

He Yunjing raised his eyes and locked onto Jiang Li's face. "It is not your wish to come to Wu Country as a hostage. If you want to return to Lin Country alive, you must do something. I don't believe that you must make the two countries go to war. You should know that no matter which country wins, the soldiers will always die, and the victims will only be innocent people.

Jiang Li, you are the prince of Lin State, and I am also the royal relative of Wu State. We are born to be opposites and have to fight for our respective countries. But what if we abandon these? Can't you and I coexist peacefully? "

Jiang Li pursed her lips and said nothing, but she did not move the hand holding the dagger. She just stared at He Yunjing in a daze.

He Yunjing was right. Coming to Wu Kingdom as a hostage was not his choice, but he had his own obsessions. He could only disrupt Wu Kingdom according to the orders of the Emperor of Lin Kingdom.

It’s not a question of whether he wants to or not, it’s a question of whether he has to do it.

He Yunjing continued, "Even if you follow the orders of the Emperor of Lin, you will not be a hero when you return to Lin. You will only be a shame for Lin's failure, like a needle stuck in the heart of the Lin royal family.

If you don't go back, even if you are lucky enough to return to Lin State, you will only be abandoned. Lin State does not need to be a hostage in Wu State for several years. They will not trust you, let alone get close to you. At best, you will be assassinated on the way back to Lin State, which will become a legitimate reason for Lin State to send troops to Wu State.

If you were lucky enough to return to Lin Country, you would have survived a life-threatening situation and been rejected by Lin Country. From the moment you were chosen, Lin Country had already rejected you. "

"Shut up!"

Jiang Li yelled angrily, her eyes were red, her hands were shaking more and more, and she deepened the wound on He Yunjing's neck again.

He is not a fool, he has known all this for a long time, but he has no choice, he will never die in Wu State, he must go back alive, he will make all those who abandoned and humiliated him pay the price, even if it means that the people of the world will suffer.

The world treats him like grass and ants, so he crushes everything!

He Yunjing ignored his anger, grabbed Jiang Li's wrist and pulled her over, stood up the moment Jiang Li was forced to bend down, hugged Jiang Li and pulled her into the bathtub.

He pinched Jiang Li's chin, removed the dagger, and softened his tone, "I can give you a choice, give up your identity in Lin Country, and I will marry you. As long as I am here, no one can force you to make a choice, and no one can bully you or humiliate you.

Or you can go back to Lin State, whether you are a prince or an emperor, I will marry you on behalf of Wu State."

Jiang Li was completely stunned and even forgot to be angry.

Marry He Yunjing and take He Yunjing as wife?

Is this something a person can say?

What's more, they are all men, how could He Yunjing say such things!

It took Jiang Li a long time to regain her sanity. She stared at He Yunjing angrily, "You are crazy!"

"I'm not crazy! I'm serious!" He Yunjing held Jiang Li's wrist tightly, "I don't want to be your enemy, so the only way is to stop the war between our two countries, at least in our lifetimes. Otherwise, why do you think I brought you to the Marquis' Mansion and treated you so well? Is it to atone for my sins?

I can ask the emperor to reward you and settle you down, but I will never ask you to come to the Marquis' Mansion and cause trouble to the Mansion."

Jiang Li naturally didn't believe it, so she raised her other hand and punched He Yunjing.

He Yunjing saw it, but he didn't avoid it. After the fight, he held Jiang Li's shoulders and leaned over to kiss her.

It was just a simple kiss of lips, without any other unnecessary movements, but it was enough to shock Jiang Li.

His whole body was stiff, and he even forgot to blink, just staring at He Yunjing.

He Yunjing kissed her once and then backed away. Actually, he was feeling very uncomfortable, but Jiang Li was still too young.

It is also because people in ancient times got married at too young an age. Girls could get married at the age of 15, and boys were about the same age and their development was not complete.

He Yunjing suppressed his body's restlessness and said, "You are still too young. This is the right attitude. I am not kidding you. If you don't believe me, I can only do something else, so don't force me."

Jiang Li's eyes finally blinked, and he rubbed his lips helplessly. How could he be kissed by a man, especially the one he hated the most?

He Yunjing was both angry and amused when he saw him like this, "Do you really need to be so disgusted? I'm dirty?"

"You stink. Who knows how long it has been since you last rinsed your mouth?"

"I just don't have time to take a shower. I can still rinse my mouth. Besides, I didn't open my mouth, I just touched it." He Yunjing stepped back a little. Fortunately, the Marquis's Mansion was wealthy and the bathtub was not small, so the two of them could still squeeze in.

He turned around with great effort and said, "I'm serious, please help me clean it, otherwise it will become rotten and smell terrible."

"Can't you ask the servants to wash it?"

"I'm not afraid of it getting out and making my parents worry. Just think of it as a favor."

Jiang Li looked disgusted as she picked up a handkerchief and started to clean He Yunjing. She then glanced at the severe wound on He Yunjing's neck and the new wound on his neck. It was a bit deep, but fortunately it did not injure the blood vessels or arteries.

It’s just that He Yunjing’s behavior of rushing up like that was really reckless, as if he was not afraid of death at all. And what He Yunjing said did not mean to lie at all.

But Jiang Li didn't want to delve into those things. After wiping He Yunjing, she went to change her clothes. They were all wet and stuck to her body, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

He Yunjing also got up, casually put on Jiang Li's clothes, sat down beside the bed, and asked Jiang Li to apply some medicine and bandage him.

He Yunjing said, "I'm not kidding you. You can think about what I said slowly. I haven't tracked down your subordinates. I only know about the gold shop and the cake shop for now. They have received orders to listen to you. You can make them your own people during this period of time. If necessary, I can help you get rid of the person who sent the message to Lin Guo."
