The Princess Wei Yang

71.2.To Save A Life

Hai Dong Qing ㅡ a Chinese bird species, also known as a gyrfalcon

Zheng fei - official wife of princes, main consort

Bi nu - maidservant

Jiugong array - lit. Nine Palaces, still not completely sure what it is. Although in context, it seems to be scriptures containing military strategies like Art of War.

Li Wei Yang averted her gaze from the Pavilion not too far from there, a cold sneer appearing on her lips. Tuoba Zhen was always hiding something, pretending to be devoted to aiding Taizi, a good son of the Emperor. Even before the Emperor passed away, sick and tired of every one of his son, he only trusted the loyalty and filial piety of this third son. No one would have thought that Tuoba Zhen had schemed ceaselessly behind his back. In the thirty-eighth year of the current dynasty, Tuoba Zhen was targeted in an assassination! The forty-first year, Qi Huangzi had arranged an ambush against Tuoba Zhen! That year, Li Wei Yang felt that every xiong di of Tuoba Zhen wanted his life, and now looking back, these people had seen Tuoba Zhen’s true face and wanted to get rid of him! With such malicious calculations, perhaps that year, Tuoba Zhen had used false crimes to accuse and wrong others. Ha, if so, then back then, she was truly ignorant! She thought she had sacrificed out of love, but in truth, she was only being used!

“Sanjie, are you okay?” Li Min De curiously asked.

“It’s nothing.” Li Wei Yang broke away from her trance, her voice had grown rather quiet.

Li Min De looked to her worriedly. He was about to say something, but then saw a silhouette streak past, and his face grew solemn. He nodded: “Sanjie, I have something to do, so I’m leaving for a bit.”

Not waiting for her to respond, Li Min De hastily left. Bai Zhi said: “Xiaojie, do you feel that San shaoye has been a bit strange lately?”

Li Wei Yang looked after Li Min De’s retreating figure, solemn as she said: “Certainly strange indeed.” However, he had just lost his mother. This was inevitable. She sighed deeply.

Half a shichen passed, the game in the Pavilion had not finished, Tuoba Zhen and Tuoba Rui were invited to tea by Gongzhu’s attendants, leaving Qi Huangzi to speak with that yatou.

Li Wei Yang smiled and slowly went over.

“Your grandfather was Liu Xiao Wei? When I was younger, I had learned sword techniques from him.” Tuoba Yu’s face was flawless, and his voice was surprisingly soft and warm.

If someone else saw Tuoba Yu now, they would be stunned, but Li Wei Yang knew, this was nothing unexpected. Tuoba Yu was human and had weaknesses too, but his grandfather, Lao Luo Guogong was his greatest weakness. From a young age, he had followed Luo Guogong and learned all the arts of literature and martial arts from him, so they had strong emotional ties. It could be said that Tuoba Yu was emotionless and heartless, but everything concerning his waigong would make his calm evaporate any day.

Hearing Qi Huangzi’s words, the young woman’s skin immediately had a flush of pink: “Qi Dianxia, my grandfather had once mentioned Dianxia, he said when Dianxia was young——”

“Your grandfather said that, as a child, Qi Dianxia was highly intelligent but also rebellious, is that right?” Suddenly, a clear voice rang out in the Pavilion. Tuoba Yu looked up to see Li Wei Yang smiling as she stood on the steps.

Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows. He had not expected this yatou to come here. What a surprise.

Because she was attending the banquet, Li Wei Yang wore a skirt with the design of a hundred butterflies encircling flowers. She had intentionally chosen simple colors, but even so, the healthy rosy glow of her face was stirring others’ hearts. At that moment, her bright eyes were fixated on him.
