Ferocious Princess - C369 It gave her despair
Shangguan Minghao also saw the scene unfold in the distance, “What’s that?” Shangguan Minghao’s eyes flashed with shock, such beauty, such a white robe, wait, white clothes, Shangguan Minghao suddenly thought of Fei Yan, but Fei Yan was injured, and she couldn’t ride anything that could fly.
It had to be said that although Shangguan Minghao missed them, he was not blind. Watching the monster that was flying further and further away from him, or perhaps the Divine Beasts, Shangguan Minghao felt shocked and amazed.
But at this moment, Zhuo Lei was even more shocked. He was happy in his heart, happiness mixed with worry. But today, she was wearing the same clothes, and the Divine Beasts was so big, he had seen it many times, but the only difference was that the Divine Beasts did not have wings.
Shangguan Minghao turned his head to look at Zhuo Lei. Although he did not express his astonishment, his words revealed the disbelief he was feeling right now, “There’s actually such a strange thing in the world!”
But when he saw Zhuo Lei’s expression, Shangguan Minghao became suspicious, because Zhuo Lei’s expression was too complicated, “Do you know him or not?” Shangguan Minghao spoke with a little hostility towards Zhuo Lei.
Zhuo Lei didn’t know why Shangguan Minghao acted so out of hostility, he retracted his gaze and looked at Shangguan Minghao respectfully, “Your majesty, if there’s nothing else, this subject will take his leave first!” With that, Zhuo Lei left.
Shangguan Minghao’s face immediately flushed red, but he naturally did not feel ashamed, and was instead angered by Zhuo Lei’s disregard.
“I didn’t say leave, you dare to leave!” A shout that carried a ruthless storm sounded, as if wanting to swallow Zhuo Lei whole.
If that person was Fei Yan, he did not need to rush. If that person was not Fei Yan, then he had yet to think of a way to cure Fei Yan’s illness, and would naturally return sooner or later. But right now, he still had a debt to settle with Shangguan Minghao.
Zhuo Lei retreated a few steps and knelt on the ground, “Then, Your Majesty, please discuss the matter!” Zhuo Lei bowed so deeply, Shangguan Minghao knew that something must have happened to Zhuo Lei. His words were like a divine arrow being shot from the bow, accurately hitting the vital parts of his body.
Shangguan Minghao sat back on his dragon throne, this action merely wanting to prove his position.
“The reason I summoned you was naturally to arrange a mission for you. Your Zhuo Family could also be considered to have rendered meritorious service last time. I will remember this!” Shangguan Minghao said this as if he believed in the loyalty of the Zhuo Family.
Zhuo Lei looked at Shangguan Minghao, and lowered his head, “I am just a commoner, I’m afraid I will disappoint the emperor!”
“I don’t think there’s anyone more suitable than you.” “Furthermore, don’t you want to know who set Fei Yan up? Or perhaps, your nephew, where is our son right now?”
In truth, Zhuo Lei did not understand why Shangguan Minghao insisted on doing it himself, “This is …”
“There’s a reward for finding it!” Furthermore, he felt that Zhuo Lei was the best candidate. One of them was because of the power that Zhuo Lei had behind him, and he could understand that he could come here without harming his imperial concubine. Although he did not want to realize that Zhuo Lei had been too nice to Fei Yan, this was the truth.
“This commoner obeys the decree!” Seeing that he could not evade, Zhuo Lei could only accept it. Observing that he had rolled down from the market, Zhuo Lei understood what was going on, “However!” As Zhuo Lei said that, he looked towards the emperor, his eyes was firm and brave, without any signs of retreat.
The expression in Shangguan Minghao’s eyes changed, but it only lasted for a short moment, and disappeared before he reached the edge of his vision, “Speak!” A loud word came out of his throat.
“However, this humble one has a presumptuous request. I believe that your majesty still remembers Fei Yan’s agreement with your majesty!”
“Of course!” Shangguan Minghao didn’t have any intention to go back on his words, but he saw that Zhuo Lei didn’t seem to care about this matter at all.
“Back then, Fei Yan said that she wanted the Emperor to promise one thing after he succeeded!” Zhuo Lei finally mustered the courage to say it out loud. He was waiting, waiting for Shangguan Minghao’s answer, to see if Shangguan Minghao would keep his promise.
Although the curve of his lips was very small, one could still tell how pleased he was with himself at the moment, “We will naturally remember, but we will still remember that this was an agreement between Fei Yan and us. Who do you want us to fulfill our promise to now that Fei Yan is not by our side, that’s why we let you complete this mission. This mission is to find out the truth behind that year, and also to find Fei Yan!”
In that moment, Zhuo Lei finally understood why Shangguan Minghao was able to appear so calm, without the slightest bit of panic, and did not seem to be busy at all. No one knew what happened, and no one knew where Fei Yan was right now, so Shangguan Minghao used this method.
Thinking about it, Zhuo Lei felt a headache, but he knew that he had already accepted the decree. If he went back on his words, he would lose the life of the Zhuo Mansion.
“This commoner obeys the decree!” A sound of agreement, but it was as if the sound had sold his soul. Under the heavy blow in Zhuo Lei’s heart, it seemed exceptionally painful and heavy.
Shangguan Minghao waved his hand, signaling Zhuo Lei to leave.
Zhuo Lei didn’t have anything else to say, so he naturally turned around and left. As he was preparing to leave, he was stopped by Shangguan Minghao.
“We had best remind you that Fei Yan is our concubine, our wife!” Shangguan Minghao’s words carried a domineering aura and a strong desire for possession.
Although I do not understand why Shangguan Minghao emphasized on such a point, but there is one thing. It is that Shangguan Minghao cares about Fei Yan, and he is afraid of losing her. Zhuo Lei asked herself, “She lost her memories!” But Zhuo Lei turned and said four words to Shangguan Minghao before she left.
“She lost her memories, she lost her memories …” The words struck hard on Shangguan Minghao’s heart. No wonder she didn’t recognize him, rejected him, and also tried to please him, that must have been very contradictory at the time. She remembered that time at the empress dowager’s place, did he give her despair when she looked at him?
However, she didn’t know how contradictory he was at the time, or how deep his love for the empress was. Shangguan Minghao could only sigh in his heart.
Fei Yan flew with the Divine Beasts, she did not know how to describe her current state of mind. Although she had ridden on the plane before, it was not as natural as this, and when she flew at night, she never expected that its two wings would actually emit light.
“Divine Beasts, what name will she give you? You are so mighty! ” Fei Yan thought in his heart, but she didn’t know what name she had specifically given to highlight its personality.
“How about White Wings?” In the end, Fei Yan was not a refined scholar, even though she had memories of the ancient times. However, because her memories were mixed with that of the modern era, even if there was no chaos, it was still impossible for her to be that gentle.
Its personality was similar to the modern Fei Yan, and were both sufficiently calm. Maybe it was because Fei Yan’s modern memories had recovered and also stimulated the growth of these white wings, but Fei Yan had a nagging feeling that this white wing was hiding some kind of secret.
It was clearly a cold winter day, so the wind should have been frozen by right, but Fei Yan felt that the wind blowing towards him was harmonious, and also a little gentle, as if a young man was slowly caressing his own face.
“White Wing, are you cold?” Fei Yan was naturally curious. Although this kind of intuition was not a definite condition for a killer to kill them, it would often bring about unexpected effects or a better judgment for the killers.
Therefore, Fei Yan felt that these white wings were different from the others, and the wind was the same.
Then, Fei Yan slowly entered into the White Wings’ heart. It was as if she could hear the White Wings say to her gently, “It’s not cold, this wind is its doing.”
Fei Yan knew that it was special, so she did not ask it why it was not cold, nor did she ask why the wind could become warmer.
“Do you know where I’m going?” Fei Yan could not help but ask.
“Master is going to the place where White Wing and Master will meet!” The White Wings were really clever. Nothing could escape its judgment.
Fei Yan also did not speak anymore, her thoughts slowly returning to the past. Back then in her dream, when she was just a few years old.
“Mistress, how long can we keep on lying about this matter?” A strange voice sounded in front of a woman. However, the two of them did not seem to be showing their true faces. It was too strange.
However, these two individuals with such strange identities had actually cooperated like this for more than ten years. This seemed too inconceivable.
“I know that too, but I can only take it one step at a time. There were too many things left behind that day!” The woman sighed, not knowing what to do.
“Why are you still unwilling to remove your mask? Let me see!” The woman felt very helpless. Even though she had raised this request for how long, the other party was still stubborn enough to not let her see it. Furthermore, that voice sounded very strange, so she had no idea who he was.
The man patiently said, “The former master had ordered me to never take off my mask unless it was absolutely necessary. Besides, it’s good that we’re acting like this. I didn’t do anything to deceive master either!”
Facing the man’s rejection again, the woman was a bit angry. Perhaps it was because the man was hiding behind the veil, so she thought that the man didn’t notice.
“Then your subordinate will take his leave!” After saying that, he disappeared as fast as a shadow.
“Follow me!” The woman said these words with a ruthless tone.
Soon after, a black shadow flashed by, but it did not fly too far away. The black shadow landed in front of the woman. The woman was delighted, but when she saw the symbol on the man’s collar, her face stiffened. “Step down!”
“Mistress, don’t think that your identity is invisible. You will know when the time comes!” In the empty space, the voice of the man from before rang out. It was clear that there was no one here, but the woman felt that it was beside her ear. This was a voice transmission that had been lost for a long time.
The woman shook her head. She knew that this person was extraordinary, and it was one thing to call herself her master, but just as he had asked, he knew that he shouldn’t have known. As time passed, he became more and more knowledgeable, becoming less and less aware, not knowing if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
“Empress Dowager, you’re finally back. This emperor has been waiting for you for a long time!” Just as the empress dowager went out to walk and relax, feeling that everything was old, hearing palace maid Ci Rui tell her, the empress dowager did not seem to be angry nor warm as she leisurely entered the room.
