#360 - The Emperor's Love Triangle
For Li Wutong, who didn't know her true identity, she had always believed that Yu Pingjun was her real mother since she was a child.
After all, the latter had always treated her very well, so of course Li Wutong had no reason to suspect "whether she was her own flesh and blood".
However, it was clear that Yu Pingjun didn't really love her "daughter" as much as she usually showed.
In fact, she could be said to be very disgusted with this "little妖精" born from Li Qi and a "wild妖精".
Whether this disgust came from the hatred of her "husband's betrayal" or the violation of common sense caused by the "human-妖精 affair" was a question that perhaps only Yu Pingjun herself knew the answer to.
But in any case, she did hate Li Wutong, and even more so Li Qi.
However, she also understood that she must not express this hatred.
Therefore, Yu Pingjun not only never exposed Li Qi's "incestuous" behavior, but also "actively" cooperated and put on a great show with Li Qi, eventually successfully turning Li Wutong into her "daughter".
Twenty years had passed, and now everyone in the world knew that Princess Wuping was the daughter of the Empress, and the few people who knew the truth had also died one after another.
If Wei Changtian was not counted, there were only three people left who knew about this matter.
Yu Pingjun, Li Qi, and Ning Yongnian.
Two emperors, a peerless beauty.
The love-hate story in the middle was actually not complicated, just the usual love triangle.
Thirty years ago, Li Qi and Ning Yongnian had both ascended the throne and simultaneously took a fancy to Yu Pingjun, who came from "Yan Gui Palace".
Yan Gui Palace was located at the northern border between Da Feng and Da Ning, and was an organization somewhat similar to a "finishing school for socialites".
Major aristocratic families would send their daughters to the palace, where they would be uniformly taught a series of "courses" such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, business management, and bedroom arts.
After all, it was a first-class "professional training", so the women who came out of Yan Gui Palace were all nearly perfect good wives, and naturally the first choice for emperors and generals to find partners.
And Yu Pingjun was once the Holy Maiden of Yan Gui Palace.
At that time, facing the favor of two emperors, she chose Li Qi, who seemed more gentle.
For the first ten years, the couple was loving and respectful, and Yu Pingjun once thought she had made the right choice.
But when Li Qi found her holding the newly-month-old Li Wutong, trying to get her to recognize this "daughter", Yu Pingjun embarked on a path of forbearance and revenge without looking back.
To this end, she pretended for twenty years and prepared for twenty years.
And now, it was finally almost time to end all of this.
A smile appeared on Yu Pingjun's face, and she shook her head slightly: "Tong'er, your father and Young Master Wei don't know how long they will be talking, go back to Zihua Palace with me first, I made you a piece of clothing, try it on to see if it fits."
"What Mother makes will definitely fit!"
Li Wutong took Yu Pingjun's arm and said softly, "Mother, do you have any palace maids who are good at needlework? Lend me one?"
"Hmm? You want to learn needlework?"
Yu Pingjun smiled and said, "Could it be that you want to make a love token for Young Master Wei."
"Y-Yes."
Li Wutong lowered her head embarrassedly, and asked nervously, "Mother, will you?"
"You."
Yu Pingjun gently patted the back of Li Wutong's hand: "Today I will let Dong'er go back with you, as long as you are not too stupid, you can learn it in two or three days."
"Thank you, Mother!"
Li Wutong was overjoyed when she heard this: "Mother is so good to me!"
"You silly child, you are a piece of flesh that fell from my body."
The corners of Yu Pingjun's mouth raised slightly, her eyes full of doting:
"How could I not treat you well."
Three days later.
Since setting the final deadline of July 15th with Li Qi, Wei Changtian had finally spent a few comfortable days in Fengyuan.
Yan Luo was dead, and Bai Youheng's affairs were also being handled by Chu Xianping and Du Chang.
Speaking of Du Chang, he had already taken the puppet pill according to the bet, but it could be seen that he was still not very convinced by Chu Xianping.
However, Wei Changtian was happy to see this scene, so he did not deliberately mediate the contradiction between the two.
Anyway, Du Chang had taken the puppet pill, so he was considered one of his own.
And Du Chang's performance in the Yan Luo affair was also remarkable, and coupled with his ruthless and unscrupulous personality, he could be used more in some shady things.
After all, Chu Xianping had gradually begun to "show his face", so he did need someone who could do dirty work in the dark.
In short, although the gold medal thug Qin Zhengqiu was gone, Wei Changtian, who had gained "Wolong and Phoenix Chick" at the same time, no longer had to do many things himself. These three days he had been wandering around Fengyuan City with Li Wutong, experiencing the local customs and culture.
Of course, Wei Changtian was actually unwilling to have too much contact with Li Wutong, but he couldn't stand the fact that the latter could always find a reason to come over, and after a few times, he was too lazy to refuse.
But to be fair, this princess's temperament had indeed changed a lot recently, and even the tone of her voice was eight degrees lower than before, which made Wei Changtian get goosebumps every time he heard it.
"."
"Da da da~ Da da da~"
"Hoo!"
The reins tightened, and the carriage slowly stopped in the sunset.
At dusk, Wei Changtian and Li Wutong's day of fun ended, and they had just returned to the gate of the Princess Mansion.
"Princess."
Getting out of the carriage, Wei Changtian glanced at Li Wutong, who was closely following behind him, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Has your throat been uncomfortable recently?"
"???"
Li Wutong's eyes widened immediately, and she held back for a long time before asking in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Does Young Master not like it?"
"It's not a matter of liking or disliking, it just feels very awkward."
Wei Changtian kindly advised: "Princess, if your throat is uncomfortable, go to the imperial physician to see it and get some medicine."
"I'm worried that if this disease continues to develop, you will eventually become mute one day."
"."
Young Master Wei is concerned about me!!!
Staring at Wei Changtian with a pair of big eyes, Li Wutong was excited in her heart, and immediately felt that the efforts of the past few days were worth it!
Although it was very uncomfortable to speak in a thin voice, it was indeed effective!
"Y-Young Master, I'm not sick."
Twisting and lowering her head, Li Wutong's voice was even smaller: "I will speak like this in the future."
"Why?" Wei Changtian looked puzzled.
"B-Because."
Li Wutong replied with a red face: "Because everyone says that women should speak like this."
"."
Do you have some serious illness?
Wei Changtian looked at Li Wutong like an idiot, and after a long time, he asked suspiciously: "Princess, I remember that you weren't this kind of person before."
"T-Then which temperament does Young Master think is better?"
Li Wutong raised her head expectantly: "Is it better now?"
"No." Wei Changtian shook his head without hesitation.
"Ah?"
Li Wutong never expected to get such an answer, and subconsciously asked again: "Then is the previous one better?"
"Neither."
Wei Changtian replied truthfully: "The previous one was too barbaric, and the current one is too fake, in short, neither is good."
"."
The summer breeze took away Wei Changtian's voice, but it couldn't take away the increasingly obvious embarrassment between the two, as well as someone's constantly rising anger value.
Then, as if to make up for all the lost voices of the past few days, Li Wutong suddenly "returned to her true self" at a certain moment, clenched her small fist, jumped her feet and shouted angrily:
"Wei Changtian!!!"
"Y-You, you bastard!!!"
