Heartless Phoenix Queen - C155
“Hehe, I still don’t know. It’s just a premonition. Go back first.” Other people might not know what Feng Lingxue’s words meant, but as a good friend of Feng Lingxue for many years, Yun Fei knew that the feeling Feng Lingxue had said was extremely true. This was because in the past, they had cooperated with Feng Lingxue so much that it was very rare for Yun Fei, who had lost in the border battle all these years as well, but at this point, Yun Fei knew that Feng Lingxue would not speak out the words, otherwise, it would be a crime to worry himself.
“Ahh, the way things are in this world is actually changing because of a girl. Hehe, what a joke.” However, her face was filled with a bitter smile. In Feng Lingxue’s opinion, this kind of thing would definitely not happen in the past, but I’m afraid that the world today is indeed like this, and this caused Feng Lingxue to have no choice but to admire this woman.
As the two of them chatted, the sky had already darkened. The Sixth Prince had also received a message from Ah Lang. The two of them had finally met at a distance of a hundred miles from the capital of the Northern Yue.
“Sixth Prince, you have suffered greatly from the bumpy road.” Ah Lang walked over and greeted the Sixth Prince with a cupped fist. Although there was a smile in his eyes, it was mostly a look of disdain. However, it was just a flash of light in his eyes.
“It’s fine. First, find a better place for me to have a good rest.” The Sixth Prince waved his hand as well, and a wave of exhaustion surged out from his eyes.
“Sixth Prince, I’m afraid this is not the time to rest. My master wants me to send you a message.”
“Ah?” “What? Fine, quickly say it.” The Sixth Prince also suddenly thought of the reason he came out at this moment. When he heard the news that came from the Dongping Kingdom, he immediately said it.
“My master told me to inform Sixth Prince that our East Ping Kingdom is willing to send troops to support Sixth Prince in seizing the throne!” After Ah Lang finished speaking, he placed his hands behind his back and silently looked at the Sixth Prince. When the Sixth Prince heard this news, he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic, and his gaze towards Ah Lang also became fervent.
“Haha, good, good. This is good, good. When I obtain the throne, I will obtain the benefits of you two.” When Ah Lang heard this, he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart. How could such an idiot become the emperor? He didn’t know if it would be you giving us benefits or we giving you benefits, he thought in his heart, but he still said it out loud.
“Thank you, your majesty.” After saying that, Aaron paused before continuing.
“Then Ayrlarng will wait for the Emperor to ascend to the throne. Let’s find a place to settle down for now.” After saying that, Ah Lang took the lead and walked to the front. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He couldn’t help but think coldly in his heart, “A coward like you wanting to become the Emperor? You’re dreaming!”
Within the Northern Yue Palace, Zi Yuan was discussing countermeasures with He Jun. Since Dongping Country’s troops had arrived outside the capital of the Northern Yue, spies had come in to report their arrival. Naturally, Zi Yuan had expected this.
“Helian, I think it’s time.”
“Un, that’s right. It’s time to make a move.”
“I’ll first go to the empress dowager’s place and then personally go to the prince’s estate. I really want to see what kind of person the Sixth Prince is.” After Zi Yuan finished speaking, he stood up with a face filled with killing intent. The light in his eyes made others not dare to look directly at him.
“Alright, I will organize the imperial guards. If there are any other unforeseen events, you can decide for yourself.” Helian Lie’s words were to hand over all the persuasion to the Violet Garden, and the Violet Garden naturally understood this as well. Helian Lie’s words were to hand over all the persuasion to the Violet Garden, and the Violet Garden naturally understood this.
Her eyes couldn’t help but twitch as she felt a wave of fear. Ever since she walked back from Ah Fu, there had been no news of Ah Fu, and thinking up to this point, the empress dowager also began to feel anxious and uneasy. Just as the empress dowager was feeling anxious, Violet Garden slowly walked in, and the guards on both sides respectfully made a path for her.
“Empress Dowager, how are you these past few days?” The exit of the Violet Garden was like a cold wind, causing the empress dowager’s face to turn somewhat pale.
“It’s all good to drag Empress Xu Que along.” The empress dowager was also calm as she spoke, but her trembling feet betrayed her heart.
“Hehe, empress dowager, there are some things I don’t want to talk about with you. I’ll ask you one last time, is the person behind this the young marquis of Dongping, Feng Lingxue?” Zi Yuan looked directly at the empress dowager, vowing to see her emotions fluctuate in her eyes. As expected, when the empress dowager heard these words, her eyes flashed and she was about to speak, but Zi Yuan spoke immediately.
“Someone, give the empress dowager a cup of wine and let her rinse her mouth and moisten her throat.” When Zi Yuan finished speaking, the shadow carried a wine jug and a quilt in her hands as she moved in a flash. The empress dowager involuntarily took two steps back, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at Zi Yuan.
“Zi Yuan, I’ll tell you everything. After all, I’m the empress dowager of a country. Are you really going to kill all of us?”
“Hmph, I don’t have much time to waste on you and I don’t want to hear your excuses. Drinking this cup of wine is already letting you leave an intact corpse. Otherwise, how much time do you think you have left to live?” In her heart, she already knew everything. The empress dowager also knew that at this moment, the Violet Garden had already killed everyone around her. This time, the empress dowager had come with the intention of killing her, but when she thought of this, the empress dowager suddenly laughed out loud.
“Haha, I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it, I can’t imagine that Helian has a woman like you by his side …”
Suddenly, just as the empress dowager finished speaking, she snatched the wine cup from the shadow’s hand and downed it in one gulp. The hatred in her eyes was completely ignored by Violet Garden.
“I hope that your death will not lead you to another dynasty.” The shadow’s heart trembled because of these words. After which, it frowned again, but ultimately, it did not say anything as it followed behind the purple garden.
“Let’s go to the prince’s mansion.”
“Yes, Empress.”
This place had already become a heavily guarded place, and every day and every night, there would be weeping sounds coming from within. The moment Zi Yuan entered, he could hear the woman inside screaming. It was extremely ear-piercing.
“You dog slaves, you actually dare to imprison us. Do you know who we are?” A female wearing an extravagant woolen shirt yelled at a guard at the door, but that guard acted as if he didn’t hear it. After waiting for the Violet Garden to enter, the female was dumbfounded for a moment, then she howled again.
“You slut, how dare you imprison us!”
“Kill him!” As Violet Garden’s icy voice faded, her figure flashed and she prepared to make her move. However, the guard next to her drew his saber and slashed the woman’s neck.
Boom!” This technique made all of the women and children behind him not dare to speak anymore. Their bodies were trembling as they looked at the Violet Garden as if they were looking at a demon. A trace of coldness flashed through the Violet Garden’s eyes before she continued.
“Which one of you is the Sixth Prince’s main wife?”
“I, I, it’s me.” After the Violet Garden had spoken, a woman walked out trembling. However, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear. These girls had never seen such a bloody scene before. When they suddenly saw the blood spurt to their sides, there was an indescribable fear in their hearts.
“En, come here, put her in the Sky Prison for me. The rest of the secondary concubines only leave three people behind, kill the rest!” As the words of the Violet Garden came out, even the guards beside her were shocked.
“My lady, my lady, please spare my life. My lady, what did you do when I waited for you?” At that moment, the other concubine could no longer endure the fear of death and actually came to the side of Zi Yuan on her knees, dragging his leg as she wailed for life.
“You don’t want to die?”
“Empress, I don’t want to die.”
“Fine, I’ll give you a chance. I’ll let you go, and you go out and find the Sixth Prince. Tell him that I’ll only give him one day. If he doesn’t come to the palace before sunset tomorrow, even they won’t be able to survive.” As soon as she finished speaking, the Violet Garden cast a cold glance at the concubines. At the same time, all of the concubines’ gazes were focused on this side concubine. Their eyes seemed to be pleading for her, but also held envy.
“Yes, many thanks to the Empress. The Empress, I will definitely persuade the Prince to turn evil to good.” On the other hand, Zi Yuan only coldly looked at the concubines, not daring to say a single word. Soon after, Zi Yuan brought his shadow to the willow tree outside and said indifferently as he looked at the shadow.
“Do you still remember that sword from last time?”
“This subordinate remembers.”
“Yes, I want you to find him and tell him that the Sixth Prince is back.” A trace of a cold smile flashed through Zi Yuan’s eyes, but the figure asked in a puzzled manner.
“Empress, why are you looking for him now? Could it be that Empress is worried that he will help the Sixth Prince?”
“Heh, even if he went to help the Sixth Prince, his nonsense would be useless. I want you to go find him and let him know that the Sixth Prince has returned. If he sees that cowardly look of the Sixth Prince, he naturally wouldn’t stay by his side.” Heh, even if he went to help the Sixth Prince, his nonsense would be useless. After she finished speaking, the Violet Garden raised her head to look at the distant setting sun. The figure that stood there without moving made the silhouette feel increasingly confused. It was as if the words spoken by the Violet Garden were a scheme that caused the silhouette to become increasingly respectful.
“Yes, Empress, I will go and find him.”
“Mm, you go first, I’ll head back to the palace first.” As she watched the figure of the figure leave, a smile finally flashed across her face. The matter at hand was about to be completed, and if she returned today, she would be able to have a good night’s sleep. However, Zi Yuan was somewhat troubled over at Dongping City and knew that the matter there would not be resolved easily.
