People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

You have to know that I have been following Xiao Langjun for longer than you...

puff--

There was a muffled sound.

Qiuxiang felt a pain in her chest and when she looked down she saw a dagger stuck in her chest - she had seen this dagger before, it was Li Wenbin's treasure and he always carried it with him.

"Young Master, you..."

Qiuxiang felt dizzy in front of her eyes, but she still stared at Li Wenbin in front of her, wanting to see him clearly and understand why this was happening.

"Didn't you promise me..." She grabbed the corner of Li Wenbin's clothes, but her hands had no strength left.

Li Wenbin squatted in front of Qiuxiang and said calmly: "You have to understand one thing, not only beautiful women, but also seemingly honest men can tell lies."

"But, why..." Qiuxiang pointed at Zhangsun Wugou and said with her last bit of strength, "I can also... take pills! If she can do it, so can I..."

"The materials for the obedient pills are too expensive. For you, it's not worth it."

Li Wenbin shook his head and said calmly: "Qiuxiang, thank you very much for everything you have done for me. However, I know you will understand me, right?"

"I understand your mother..."

Blood flowed out from Qiuxiang's wound like a spring, and she could no longer say the rest of the words.

Li Wenbin sighed, hugged her head, and said gently: "Relax, relax, take a deep breath, yes, this is right."

"You'll feel a little dizzy at first, but that's normal. Soon you won't feel the pain anymore. You..."

Before Li Wenbin could finish his words, Qiuxiang tilted her head and died.

"Hey, a good girl, why do you curse me just because I want to?" He shook his head in confusion, "They say that when a person is about to die, his words are good, but it seems that they are not necessarily true."

Changsun Wugou looked at Li Wenbin with an incredible look on his face and felt a chill all over his body.

"Qiuxiang's funeral is now in your hands. Don't cause any trouble. Do you understand?"

Li Wenbin explained to Zhangsun Wugou.

"Yes, Master, I understand." Zhangsun Wugou's eyes turned, "Then Qiuxiang's family..."

"Who else is in her family?"

"She also has an old father and a younger brother. It was her father who sold her into the palace as a slave."

"Alas, I am a soft-hearted person and cannot stand such things." Li Wenbin sighed, "Then let them be reunited. As for her brother... castrate him and send him to the palace as a eunuch. After all, one cannot be too ruthless and always leave a way out."

After hearing this, Changsun Wugou lowered his head even more: "Yes."

"By the way, I will give you something tomorrow. You go and present it to the prince. I guarantee you will regain his favor." Li Wenbin instructed, "But there is something I want to explain to you in advance."

"Master, please give me your orders." Changsun Wugou's voice was soft, for fear of causing the slightest dissatisfaction from him.

"I have a bad temper. I don't like my woman to be touched by other men." Li Wenbin stared at Zhangsun Wugou's face and said, "So, do you understand?"

"But, but..."

This request made Changsun Wugou feel a little embarrassed - after all, Li Shimin was her nominal husband.

Not allowing a husband to touch his wife is simply too...

"Just try to figure out how to deal with it these days. I'll prepare a medicine in a few days, and then you won't have to worry about it."

As he spoke, Li Wenbin stretched himself and said, "Okay, it's already so late, go back and have a rest, and don't forget what I told you to do."

"Yes, I will send you off, Master."

After yawning, Li Wenbin left leisurely, leaving behind Changsun Wugou, who was slumped on the ground, unable to cry.

She knew that from now on, her destiny would change drastically.

As to whether this change is good or bad, no one knows.

……

The next day, Li Wenbin came to Changsun Wugou's room carrying a jar of wine.

"Young Master, the Queen has instructed that if you are here to see her, you can go in directly without notifying her."

A maid who looked unfamiliar said to Li Wenbin.

"Thank you, sister. This flower is for you."

As he spoke, Li Wenbin had already inserted a flower into the maid's hair, causing the girl's pretty face to blush.

"Ha ha--"

Li Wenbin walked into the room contentedly, and saw Changsun Wugou sitting on the couch in a daze.

Looking at the two thick dark circles under her eyes, I knew she must not have slept well last night.

Seeing Li Wenbin coming in, Changsun Wugou hesitated for a moment, as if she was not used to this way of getting along with others. But suddenly she remembered something, and she quickly stood up and bowed.

"I have seen my master..."

"Get up, Guanyinbi." Li Wenbin waved his hand, "Guanyinbi, what's wrong with the dark circles under your eyes? Didn't you sleep well?"

With so many things happening, who can still sleep peacefully?

In other words, the heartless Li Wenbin slept soundly until dawn, while Changsun Wugou tossed and turned until dawn, when he finally fell into a drowsy sleep - even so, he was awakened from nightmares several times.

Li Wenbin is never stingy with his women.

"Here, grind this into powder and apply it on your face, and the dark circles will go away in one day."

This was discovered by Li Wenbin by chance. Huiyang Pills can not only enhance people's physical fitness, but can also be used to maintain skin, even better than the cosmetics he knew in his previous life.

Ruyue and Jinxiu have been using it for a while, and now their skin is as pink and tender as the egg white exposed after peeling a fresh eggshell.

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Changsun Wugou felt warm in his heart and took the Huiyang Pills.

Li Wenbin also realized that his progress in conquering Changsun Wugou had reached 30%.

Haha, is this woman a patient with Stockholm syndrome?

Chapter 55: Don't underestimate me

"Stockholm syndrome? My dear, what does this mean?"

This was naturally the first time Jinxiu had heard this word and she found it very difficult to pronounce.

“Is it Turkic?”

"No, it's a technical term." Li Wenbin thought for a moment and explained patiently, "You don't have to understand too much. You can just understand it as someone bullied you before, but because of some small favors he occasionally showed you, you fell in love with that person."

"How is that possible?" Jinxiu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, "I have already memorized all those who have bullied me!"

Jinxiu's face was distorted with anger as she recalled how she had been humiliated and ridiculed because of her leg disability.

"As long as I have the chance, I will pay them back a hundred or a thousand times!"

Because of anger, the fingers that were twisting the corners of the clothes turned bluish white due to the force.

"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, don't get excited..."

Seeing that Jinxiu was recalling the unpleasant memories of the past, Li Wenbin hurriedly comforted her. It took a long time for her to calm down temporarily.

Wiping away the tears that had flowed down her face, Jinxiu smiled: "Young Master, I'm fine... Thank you."

As she spoke, she put her arms around Li Wenbin's waist and pressed her face against his abdomen.

"You and Kisaragi are the ones closest to me, and the ones who have followed me from the beginning. Mark my words, you will never be the same as other women."

Jinxiu nodded and murmured, "Young Master, I believe what you said... By the way, do you need my help?"

"Help?" Li Wenbin asked with a smile, "What can you do for me?"

"Don't underestimate me..." Jinxiu smiled sweetly, "Don't you want to completely conquer the princess?"

"Don't worry about that. She won't and dare not do anything harmful to me." Li Wenbin said confidently, and then told her about the obedient pills.

"That's not necessarily true. If you let me do it, I have several ways to get around it. For example..."

Li Wenbin originally thought that as long as he made Changsun Wugou take the obedient pill, everything would be safe.

But after listening to Jinxiu's words, he also realized that just one pill could not truly and completely control people's hearts.

"Then what can you do?"

Hearing Li Wenbin's question, Jinxiu smiled and leaned close to his ear to speak.

……

"Your Majesty, the young master said he is very busy and has no time to see you." The maid said tremblingly.

"Get out, get out!"

With a bang, a wind-listening bottle fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Zhangsun Wugou had disheveled hair and looked like a mad woman. She pointed at the maid kneeling in front of her and screamed.

The maid was so frightened that she ran away tumbling.

"Humph, if it weren't for that bastard, well..."

He wanted to curse "bastard", but before he could say anything, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, making Changsun Wugou feel like he was dying.

"If it weren't for the master's order, I would have killed you useless bastards!"

After a period of tantrum, Changsun Wugou finally calmed down a little.

She paced back and forth in the room for a long time, and finally made up her mind.

Changsun Wugou brought several maids to the courtyard where Li Wenbin lived.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Princess..." Ruyue and Jinxiu heard that the princess had arrived and hurried out to greet her.

"Well, I came to take a look." Zhangsun Wugou pretended to pass by unintentionally, "Where's Wenbin? Why doesn't he come out to see me?"

"To answer your Majesty, the young master has gone out."

Kisaragi answered respectfully.

It turns out that he is really busy, and not just perfunctorily treating me...

For some reason, Changsun Wugou felt a little better, and his original resentment disappeared in an instant.

"Your Majesty, if you have any instructions, I can pass them on to the young master." Jinxiu said with a sweet smile.

Humph, you stinky woman, you can’t help it anymore?

After only a dozen days, he couldn't help it and came to me on his own!

"Oh, no, nothing happened. I just happened to pass by... Well, this yard is a little small, and there are too few people to serve. I will find a new place for your young master to live later, just tell him."

"promise……"

……

Li Wenbin was now in the big house given to him by Wu Lezhang.

Li Wenbin refused the butler's invitation and wandered around the courtyard bored. Suddenly, he heard a sad flute sound. He listened carefully for a while and walked towards the sound.

The flute is a Qiang flute, and the music is full of exotic style, with a sad and mournful feeling.

Li Wenbin walked over and realized that the sound came from the residence of two Turkic girls. Their residence was in the most remote corner of the mansion. At night, there were few people there and no lights, which made it look rather creepy.

Li Wenbin then remembered that he had left them here to fend for themselves since he brought them back home, and he had not paid any attention to them in these days.

In fact, he left after sending the two Turkic girls here, and today was his second time here.

He walked to the courtyard where the two lived, and saw a ray of light coming from the main room, so he walked over. When he reached the door, he happened to hear the flute sound stop inside, and the two girls exchanged a few words in a language he couldn't understand. After a while of silence, the faint flute sound started again.

As soon as Li Wenbin pushed the door, it creaked. The two girls inside heard someone coming in and screamed, "Ah!" One of them turned around and hurriedly tied a veil on her face. The other one dropped her flute and her veil was just half covered. When she saw that it was Li Wenbin who came in, she was surprised and happy. She quickly put down the veil, walked quickly to him, knelt on both knees, and said respectfully: "Master!"

"Get up."

Li Wenbin looked at her. This was the first time he saw the appearance of this Turkic girl. She had deep eye sockets, a straight nose, fair skin, and clear facial features. She had a charm unique to young European women.

"You are……"

"I am your slave girl, Master!"

"No, no, no, I mean, what's your name?"
