Ferocious Princess - C387 Do not challenge my bottom line
“What, if the empress dowager doesn’t agree, then you’re not giving I any face!” Fei Yan rubbed her mouth and said with a bit of grievance.
How could the empress dowager say no when she heard Fei Yan’s words? She couldn’t disobey the empress just because of a servant.
“Since you’re so enthusiastic, then I is naturally very willing!” The empress dowager smiled in return and turned to look at Ci Rui. Although Ci Rui felt a burst of sadness in her heart, she had no choice but to accept the empress dowager’s gaze and the so-called arrangement.
“Zi Yan, you go back first. I want to say a few words to Ci Rui!” After walking for a while, Fei Yan finally arrived at the imperial garden that was already filled with hundreds of beautiful flowers. Fei Yan randomly took a whiff of this flower’s fragrance, turned his head and said to Zi Yan who was behind him, then turned his head and called Ci Rui over to her side.
Zi Yan was startled, although she did not know what Fei Yan meant. But since Fei Yan had spoken, naturally, she did not dare disobey.
“This servant will take her leave!” Zi Yan left with doubts in her heart, not knowing whether she should report it or not.
Fei Yan watched as Zi Yan withdrew, then slowly walked forward while staring at Ci Rui.
“Ci Rui, I remembers that before I left, you were always by the empress dowager’s side. Now that you think about it, you can be considered to be one of the empress dowager’s people. Her Majesty’s praise for you is extremely great!” Fei Yan smiled as she looked at a flower. She did not raise her head, but her words still entered Ci Rui’s ears, word by word.
Ci Rui replied respectfully, “The empress has praised me too much, I am only doing what a servant should be doing. The empress dowager appreciates this servant because the empress dowager thinks highly of this slave. Ci Rui was not simple, her words were watertight.
Fei Yan pursed her lips. Although she did not speak, for some unknown reason, there was a current of air between the two of them that was filled with pressure and nervousness.
Slowly, Fei Yan raised her head and looked at Ci Rui, “Ci Rui, you should know about what happened last time, I’s plank is so unjust.” Fei Yan sighed, but continued to stare at Ci Rui.
Ci Rui’s heart trembled. As expected, Fei Yan was still brooding over what happened last time, but what could she do? If she did not do this, the outcome would not be good.
Ci Rui could only maintain her silence, and stood slowly beside Fei Yan, but Fei Yan seemed to have no intentions of letting her go, she just stared at her like that. If she had known the answer, then if she had not reported the plot to him, she would be guilty, and if she had said that she did not know, then Fei Yan would definitely not let her go, she would say that she was lying.
Fei Yan looked at Ci Rui’s increasingly nervous expression. Even at such a season, there were traces of sweat on her face, and although she looked sad, she was actually calculating in her heart that she had to get Ci Rui to become more nervous so that her Illusory Soul Art could be used.
“Look, the empress dowager didn’t miss you at all just now. In fact, your lives are like grass in their eyes!” The more Fei Yan said, the more Ci Rui’s expression did not look good. Even though she knew that what Fei Yan said was the truth, her heart still felt uncomfortable after it was revealed.
Fei Yan took this opportunity to clench her fist. Her expression changed as she looked into Ci Rui’s eyes, and slowly said. “Look at my eyes, do you feel a little wronged?”
Ci Rui nodded obediently.
Fei Yan continued to speak: “Tell I, you actually really want to escape from this palace. As long as you want, I can give you a chance, as long as you answer my questions!” Fei Yan led Ci Rui step by step towards the pit she had dug.
“Yes!” Ci Rui said obediently, but she also said those words in her heart, along with a sad look.
Fei Yan was secretly happy, she increased her cultivation and continued to ask: “What happened all those years ago, where are the children? Tell I everything you know! ” Fei Yan knew, although she could not know everything, but for this kind of, how could she not know something?
When Ci Rui heard about what happened that year, she seemed to have a will of resistance. “The thing is, the Emperor was poisoned, this servant took the child away, and was taken away by the mysterious person!”
When Ci Rui said this, she continuously shook her head, as if she was enduring some kind of torture, or perhaps she had sworn some kind of oath. As long as it was about those things, she was like a contradiction.
Fei Yan saw that her strength was growing weaker and weaker. To think that Ci Rui was actually this powerful in his heart as well, Fei Yan did not think of this, and wanted to ask her one last question. “Tell me, about the relationship between the Grand Emperor and the empress dowager …”
“No …”
“Your servant greets the empress!” When the passing palace maid saw Fei Yan, they immediately bowed. Fei Yan had been disturbed for a moment and had almost gotten the answer to the question she was about to receive.
With a sweep of her eyes, she looked a little angry. palace maid on the ground quickly lowered her head, afraid that she would offend this queen who had always been favoured.
Ci Rui was quick to react and walked out from the control room. She actually didn’t have any impression of him, she only looked at the palace maid on the ground, and those palace maid s’ bodies were trembling.
“Hurry up!” Fei Yan turned her head and said to Ci Rui who was looking at the palace maid.
“Your Majesty, the empress did not allow this servant to follow her, so this servant is unable to hear what the empress said to Ci Rui!” At this moment, Zi Yan was already kneeling in front of Shangguan Minghao, seriously reporting on Fei Yan’s situation with the empress dowager.
“Are you saying that the empress constantly talks about the Emperor and that she wants to learn ‘Don’t Forget it’ from the Queen Mother for us to hear?” Although Shangguan Minghao did not understand Fei Yan’s intention, but her words were enough to please him, because he really did like that tune.
“In the future, serve me with refreshments. Don’t forget to report back to me about everything concerning the empress!” However, I have some doubts. How did she cure the poison last time? Shangguan Minghao frowned, and looked at Zi Yan who was kneeling down with suspicion.
The previous time she gave Fei Yan the medicine, she had clearly given him a dose, but why was it that her contribution was still there? “This servant doesn’t know, but this servant wonders, will the empress be able to cure herself?” She guessed at this point and looked at Shangguan Minghao carefully, but her heart was thinking of other things.
Shangguan Minghao sank into his own thoughts and waved his hands to allow Zi Yan to go down.
“Fei Yan, Fei Yan, just how much of your capabilities do you have that we do not know!” Shangguan Minghao held onto the portrait of Fei Yan on the Imperial study’s table, waves rippling in his eyes. It was unknown if he was sighing with emotion, or maybe it was both, but he was sighing with emotion. The road ahead, the two of them were not sure if they could travel side by side like before.
Last time, he had investigated on the matter of him meeting Fei Yan for the first time. Only then did he vaguely know that Fei Yan’s desire was not so much of a coincidence. What purpose did she have with him? But if she had a purpose, then why was it that it was her who saved him every time?
When Shangguan Minghao thought about this question, he felt extremely conflicted in his heart.
“Your majesty!” A black-clothed person landed in front of Shangguan Minghao and whispered a few sentences to him.
Shangguan Minghao’s face changed, but he only nodded his head, and the man quickly left.
Shangguan Minghao wrote an “Absolute!” on a white piece of paper. His expression was somber as he gazed into the distance, thinking of something.
“Hey, don’t run!”
“Grab it, what is that …”
“So cute, grab …”
Fei Yan never thought that when she returned, her real palace would be in such a mess. With many palace maid s there shouting and chasing after him, it was as if they were trying to catch something.
“What’s going on?” Fei Yan frowned, she was not happy with the crowd’s noise, she was not the type of person who liked to cause too much trouble.
When they heard Fei Yan’s voice, they were stunned. They were afraid that if Fei Yan got unhappy, they would lose their lives.
“Greetings, Queen!” Who knew which maidservant would be alerted and immediately kneel down.
“Your servant greets the empress!” That was why maidservant acted like he had just awoken from a dream and quickly kneeled down and said that.
Fei Yan coldly snorted, without saying a word, she got the people beside him to bring over a stool, and enjoyed the warmth of the spring sun, and began to admire the flowers and plants within the courtyard.
“Aooo …” Right at this time, a voice suddenly sounded beside the palace maid.
Fei Yan laughed, as if she knew what was going on. She gave him a glance, and the white wing drew closer to her with embarrassed steps. It lowered its head as if it knew it was wrong. “Ao …” This voice was spicy and had a hint of grief in it.
Fei Yan reached out her hand, and with a leap, the white wing arrived on Fei Yan’s body.
I is like a person who enjoys peace and quiet. Normally, as long as you guys don’t disturb I, I is not a tiger and won’t eat humans. When Fei Yan said this, his voice was very warm, but anyone could hear the coldness within.
“Yes, Empress Dowager!” How could they dare to say no in this situation, unless they didn’t want to live anymore.
Only then did Fei Yan slowly stand up, she picked up the little thing in her arms and walked into the house, but what was strange was that she did not see Zi Yan, where did Zi Yan go.
“Xiaowen, did you see Zi Yan coming back?” Fei Yan could not help but ask.
Seeing that Fei Yan was not as angry as before, the man finally calmed down and replied Fei Yan: “Reporting to Empress, Zi Yan had followed you out and never returned!”
‘s eyes flashed, she knew what was going on, it looked like Zi Yan was most likely sent by Shangguan Minghao to spy on him. Thinking of this, Fei Yan bit her lips, her heart feeling a little hurt. Hmph, Fei Yan actually knew how easy it was, she really thought she was filming a teleportation drama.
She thought back to the time when Old General Zhuo told her to marry Shangguan Minghao. Her heart felt a little sad, and it seemed that there would be a problem with the combination of purpose.
“White Wing, I would like to ask, do you know why father caused such an illness?” Fei Yan still didn’t understand. It was as if this disease was a legend to him.
The White Wings frowned. Although in the eyes of an outsider, there was no difference, but because Fei Yan and its mind were interlinked, it knew a little.
“I think that it might be because of some curse or have something to do with that Blood Alliance book. Do you remember the Supreme Emperor? His face is so terrifying, there’s a high chance that it’s related to this! ” The white wings analyzed wisely, and their cause and effect were quickly linked together.
Hearing this, Fei Yan surprisingly agreed with the White Wing’s idea, “White Wings, you’re really smart!” With that, Fei Yan even intimately kissed the White Wings. However, the White Wings instantly felt its face heating up, and it felt dizzy.
Fei Yan was still deep in her thoughts, so how could she have noticed the small reaction of the white wing?
Ever since Zhuo Lei last met with him, Zhuo Lei had been somewhat worried for his safety, and he wondered if Fei Yan had returned yet! “What is it?” Seeing Zhuo Lei’s anxiety, Madame Zhuo also felt pained, thinking that her two sons and daughters must have suffered a lot. Other people’s children’s clothes were warm, but these two children, one of them had a weak body and was unable to practice martial arts, unable to enter the ancestral land. Although she knew that there was something more to it, it wasn’t wrong for the child to accomplish his family’s mission of marrying into the palace.
