Chapter 577: Chaotic Relationship between Men and Women

Liu Yi smiled and said to Liu Cong: "Your Majesty is really very kind to me. He has already paved the way for me. Thank you very much."

Liu Cong also smiled and replied: "Isn't that the most natural thing? The throne is yours."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yi bowed again.

The two women were still crying and begging for help from Yang Xianrong, and even got up from the ground and wanted to kneel down in front of Yang Xianrong. Liu Yao stood in front of Liu Cong, and it was not easy for him to go over immediately. At this moment, Liu Yi suddenly drew out the long sword of the guard beside him, waved his hand, and stabbed the two women in the heart one by one.

The sound stopped suddenly.

No one present spoke.

Yang Xianrong took two steps back with a pale face and almost fell down.

He Chi supported her in time, but he just pursed his lips and said nothing. He also felt that Liu Yi's behavior was too bloody. He thanked the emperor on the surface, but killed someone the next moment. He was obviously a double-dealer, and all those unspeakable thoughts were revealed here.

Liu Cong's expression finally changed. He snorted and turned back to the hall.

Only then did Liu Yao walk over and support Yang Xianrong, asking about her condition in a low voice.

Yang Xianrong stared at the three dead women on the ground, and countless images came to her mind. Even though she was not very familiar with these women, they had all lived in the harem of the Great Jin Dynasty and had different identities and statuses.

Now that they have been captured and brought to Pingyang, they are all called women of the Great Jin Dynasty.

This in itself is an insult.

The main hall of Pingyang Palace was much inferior to that of Luoyang Palace. It was originally just a temporary palace, but was later converted into an imperial palace. Liu Cong sat in the main hall, looking at Yang Xianrong who was helped in by Liu Yao, and politely asked someone to bring a chair.

"What's so scary about this? Didn't you go to the battlefield with him? You've seen a lot of dead bodies and wounded people." Liu Cong squinted at her. "If you don't obey, you will die. Isn't it the same in the Great Jin Dynasty?"

"That's a woman from my Great Jin Palace." Yang Xianrong frowned.

"So what? Does the Great Jin still have them?" Liu Cong sneered, "Now it just so happens that my Great Han needs all kinds of people to supplement the population. I am really honoring them by letting them stay in the palace. If it were Shi Le and his men, they would have been killed long ago. In fact, even if they were people from your Great Jin, Sima Mo, for example, probably wouldn't have spared their lives. They are too noisy."

"You can't take human life so lightly." Yang Xianrong's voice was hoarse. Although Liu Yao wanted to hold her hand, she refused. "Liu Yi can't do this."

"Then what do you want?" Liu Cong laughed, "Do you think they all have a Liu Yao by their side? Besides, if it weren't for Liu Yao's deep affection for you and your usefulness, would I still keep you?"

"Your Majesty." Liu Yao was unhappy, "That's not what you said before."

"Look, nothing has happened yet, and she has the guts to turn her back on you, lose her temper with me, and accuse me of my mistakes. Does she still think she is the queen of the Great Jin? She has long ceased to be one!"

"Yes, I am no longer the queen of Da Jin, but I am Yang Xianrong, a former citizen of Da Jin. In this situation, can't I say a few words?" Yang Xianrong was not afraid at all. She stood up and stood in the hall.

"Haha, go ahead." Liu Cong glanced at Liu Yao.

"Those things about fighting for power and the country are what you men have to do. They have nothing to do with these weak women. Can't you just let them go?"

"If they stay here and there are men willing to take them in and support them, isn't that a great thing?"

"Being forced like this every day, living in fear? You might as well die." Yang Xianrong clenched her fists, "Just issue an order to kill them." "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you are also a woman of the Dajin, should I kill you too?" Liu Cong added.

"Okay." Yang Xianrong also sneered, "If you let me live, I will live. If you let me die, I will die."

"I want you to help Liu Yao." Liu Cong looked at her, "I told you before that you have to help him."

"so what?"

"Liu Yao wants to marry you."

"so what?"

"You have to prove that you can become Liu Yao's wife."

"so what?"

"Kill Liu Yi."

"Me?" Yang Xianrong was thinking about what Liu Cong, who was already unpredictable, was thinking. Liu Yao pulled Yang Xianrong's sleeve and said to Liu Cong, "Don't make it hard for her. She is a weak woman and can't kill anyone."

"Liu Yao, she is Yang Xianrong." Liu Cong smiled, "Fifth sister said that Third sister kills people without being seen. If she can't follow you wholeheartedly, you will be killed by her and you won't even know how you died."

"It's okay, just kill her if she wants to." Liu Yao answered quite quickly.

"Haha, you are open-minded. But I don't agree." Liu Cong's expression became more and more strange. "Yang Xianrong, at this point, you have already entered the game and cannot withdraw. So, even if you still want to say that you are a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty, you still have to help us do things. Let me tell you, Liu Yao told me three days ago that he wanted to marry you openly, but your identity... Even if you helped Liu Yao and Liu Cheng to make military merits and treat the wounded outside the east gate, so what? I can allow my wife, the general of the chariots and cavalry, to be the queen of the Great Jin Dynasty. She must have outstanding qualities and must be able to convince everyone. After that, Liu Yao can also gain a firm foothold in the court instead of being criticized. Do you understand?"

After the long speech, Liu Yao stopped talking, and Yang Xianrong also stopped talking.

She became extremely conflicted again.

If she really became Liu Yao's wife, what would others think? At first, she really didn't think it was a big deal. But when she entered the palace today and saw the three women who died tragically, she was indeed shaken again.

Even though Liu Yao loved her deeply, she didn't want to let him down. However, what stood before her were the gossips of many people and those murderous looks.

Just like the four words that Lady Xuan said just now - secret communication with Qu Kuan, she really couldn't bear it.

"Liu Yao refuses to kill Liu Yi, so help me!" Liu Cong walked in front of Yang Xianrong, "I will let you be Liu Yao's wife legitimately. Whoever says anything, I will kill him until they stop talking."

"Your Majesty." Liu Yao was a little nervous and wanted to pull Yang Xianrong behind him.

"What if I don't want to be Liu Yao's wife?" Yang Xianrong did not back off.

"Then I'll kill you now." Liu Cong smiled and drew out his long knife.

"Okay." Yang Xianrong straightened his back.

"No, just kill me." Liu Yao hugged Yang Xianrong with his body, "Liu Cong, if you dare to touch her, I will kill you."
