Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C964 964 Disposal

“No need for formalities.”

Yan Yuan purposely ignored the weird atmosphere between Xia Tao Hua and Qi Feng, walked in front of Xia Tao Hua, and said: “This king came here today to ask you about the wickedness of the wangfei, when can you begin to treat her?”

Xia Tao Hua’s face changed slightly, because the matter of the Huiyang City had delayed the marriage between Xia Tao Hua and Yan Yuan, and because he had to deal with Ye Man, and because Liu Ruo Qing was injured in the middle, he did not mention anything about the marriage between the two of them.

Because the atmosphere in the Duke Palaces had been extremely tense for the past few days, Xia Tao Hua didn’t dare to bring up the matter of the wedding, and he knew that it was inappropriate. Now that Yan Yuan had come over to ask about Liu Ruo Qing, Xia Tao Hua’s expression became somewhat complicated.

Seeing her current state, Yan Yuan thought that Xia Tao Hua deceiving him when he said that he would cure her disease, and her face immediately turned cold. A few sharp auras swept across her face, “What are you trying to tell me by looking at this expression?”

Qi Feng did not leave this time, but kept his gaze down at the side. Hearing Yan Yuan’s tone, following beside Yan Yuan for so many years, how could they not see that he was angry?

Looking up, he saw that Yan Yuan’s originally gentle face was instantly covered by a layer of ice. His heart tensed up, and his gaze turned towards Xia Tao Hua, only to see him looking calm, and when Yan Yuan finished asking her the question, he was not afraid at all.

He bowed in front of Yan Yuan, but his voice was loud and gentle, “Your Highness has not fulfilled your promise to me regarding the peach blossoms. Please forgive the peach blossoms for not obeying your orders.”

Other than Liu Ruo Qing, the only other person who could talk about conditions like this with Yan Yuan was Xia Tao Hua.

Unlike Liu Ruo Qing’s fearlessness, Xia Tao Hua had seen through everything. He had even underestimated life and death, in Xia Tao Hua’s eyes, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Even if Yan Yuan did not take it, she would still die. Thus, Xia Tao Hua’s expression was still indifferent the entire time.

However, Qi Feng was anxious because of her actions, he did not care too much about it, walking up to Yan Yuan and kneeling down, “My prince, Peach Blossom Princess did not come across you on purpose, please be merciful.”

Qi Feng had never been someone who understood words. Although he was worried about Xia Tao Hua, he couldn’t say anything.

Yan Yuan looked at the subordinate kneeling in front of him. Speaking of which, the person beside him was not young at all, and although the two of them were master and servant, Qi Feng held different positions in his heart.

This was the first time Qi Feng kneeled in front of him so formally, and it was even to plead for a woman. Yan Yuan thought about what Liu Ruo Qing said to him that day, and the corners of his mouth curled up coldly.

“You are one of This King’s subordinates. When have you ever been so soft-hearted as to plead for a woman who is neither family nor friends?”

“Subordinate …”

Qi Feng’s lips moved, but he could not say a single word.

Xia Tao Hua did not expect Qi Feng, such a taciturn person, to actually beg for mercy in front of Yan Yuan. In that moment, as if something in her heart collapsed, she looked at Qi Feng, stunned and speechless for a long while.

Yan Yuan ignored him and turned to Xia Tao Hua, saying, “This king had already told you before, that as long as you cure the wangfei, you will definitely be able to protect your brother and help him ascend to the throne. What do you mean by this?”

She did not look at Qi Feng anymore, and no one could clearly see the emotions that were currently beneath her eyes. All they could hear was her calm voice, which once again slowly sounded out, “The Prince has also promised to marry a peach flower as his concubine before he treats my wangfei.”

There were some things that she was powerless to do, so she could still obtain a guarantee from Yan Yuan. However, she forgot, even now, it was still very difficult for her to make a decision.

He looked down at Xia Tao Hua from above, as if he was looking down at an ant under his feet, which made everyone tremble with fear. “You think that just because this king married you, you will be able to sleep peacefully?”

His words caused Xia Tao Hua’s body to tremble slightly. “As long as I get someone to spread the news on the island, you will lose your favor in front of me. What do you think the people on the island will think?”

“Your Highness!”

Hearing this, Xia Tao Hua suddenly raised her head to look at Yan Yuan. She had only thought that as long as her status as the King Jing’s secondary wife was present, the Long Island side would not dare to act rashly. She had never thought that even if she became the secondary wife of the King Jing or even the Crown Princess Jing, as long as the King Jing did not pamper her, it would only be a lie.

Xia Tao Hua’s face was pale white. He thought that by holding onto Crown Princess Jing’s life, he would be able to hold onto King Jing, but he never thought that as long as King Jing wanted to go back on his words, what could he do?

She looked at Yan Yuan for a long time before speaking with some despair, “Your Highness clearly promised me that once you say it, I will never be able to keep up with you. How can Your Highness …”

Yan Yuan didn’t look at her, but instead looked at the kneeling Qi Feng and said: “Go out first, bring back the twenty tablets yourself.”

Qi Feng’s body stiffened as he looked at Yan Yuan in astonishment. The indifference in his eyes didn’t seem like a joke at all.

“Someone close to this duke dares to elbow their way out. Qi Feng, when did you have such thoughts?”

Qi Feng’s expression changed, the latter half of his words were somewhat ambiguous. In a moment, Qi Feng also didn’t know whether he was referring to his feelings for the Peach Blossom Princess or whether he was doing it for an outsider who was disobedient to the Duke.

“This lowly official knows his crimes.”

“Go down.”

Yan Yuan waved his sleeves, his expression still indifferent. Twenty big boards weren’t too heavy a punishment for Qi Feng, but it couldn’t be considered light either, especially after taking Jiang Ling’s palm strike just now. His internal injuries had not completely healed, so he had to suffer some sort of punishment for coming down from these twenty big boards.

Xia Tao Hua also didn’t expect that Qi Feng, who had only begged for mercy for her, would have to suffer twenty times more. His originally pale complexion became even more unsightly.

When Qi Feng was about to leave, a voice immediately called out to him, “Wait a moment.”

Qi Feng’s footsteps subconsciously stopped as he turned his head around, only to see Xia Tao Hua kneeling in front of him. “Your Highness, the guards are just pitiful peach blossoms.

A sneer sounded out from Yan Yuan’s mouth after he finished speaking.

“Since when did you two become close? They’re actually begging each other. ”

Yan Yuan’s words were enough to expose his intentions, Qi Feng and Xia Tao Hua naturally understood what he meant.

Qi Feng’s face suddenly changed, he immediately turned and walked back, kneeling in front of Yan Yuan, “Your Highness, this humble servant has nothing to do with the princess, I ask that Your Highness be clear about this, if it affects the princess’ reputation, this lowly servant will not be able to shake you off.”
