Heartless Phoenix Queen - C190
At this time, Feng Lingxue, who was usually carefree, revealed a certain decisiveness in her expression as she faced her death. Zi Yuan couldn’t help but feel somewhat surprised. When she turned around and was about to say something, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck. Her vision turned black and she fainted.
When she woke up, it was as if the whole world had changed. She felt her body shaking violently. Her feet felt cold, but her body was tightly hugged by a tight hug. Violet Garden furrowed her brows. This man’s scent was obviously not Helian. It was very similar to Feng Lingxue who had used her drunkenness to clear her mind.
She struggled in the man’s embrace as she coldly called out: “Feng Lingxue!”
However, Feng Lingxue did not agree. She only hugged her tighter, and the shaking became more intense. The speed at which they were moving was too fast. The Violet Garden was unable to open her eyes and look at her surroundings. She could only allow Feng Lingxue to carry him while he galloped.
A sandstorm assaulted her face. Zi Yuan did not want her skin to be damaged, so she instinctively hid in Feng Lingxue’s embrace. Only then did Feng Lingxue say in a low voice, “Hold on tightly, tonight, I’ll bring you to Helian Lie.”
Violet Garden’s heart skipped a beat, but then she became annoyed. However, at this moment, she had no choice but to lower her head under the eaves, so she simply grabbed onto Feng Lingxue’s clothes tightly, intending to tear them apart.
When the bumpy feeling finally disappeared, he heard Helian’s voice that Zi Yuan had missed for a long time.
“Thank you, young duke Dongping, for quickly bringing my wangfei safely to the camp of our troops!” The resounding and formidable voice caused Zi Yuan to break free from Feng Lingxue’s embrace. He quickly jumped down from the horse and threw himself into the arms of the owner of the voice.
Helian Lie pulled her along and helped her to tidy up her messy hair before lightly imprinting a warm kiss on her forehead. “Zi Yuan, you’ve suffered greatly.”
Violet Garden went close to the ear of her lover, who had been separated for a period of time. She bit his ear and gnashed her teeth as she said, “Capture Feng Lingxue.”
A deep smile appeared in Helian’s eyes, but he only opened his mouth and smiled. He revealed a disdainful expression and said, “Zi Yuan, you’re so dirty now. Quickly, go and take a bath.” As he spoke, he called for the servants to help Violet Garden to bathe and change.
Feng Lingxue, who was leading the horse, was completely ignored by this loving couple. However, he kept smiling as he watched their interaction and love, and calmly acted as an audience. It was only when Zi Yuan disappeared from his sight that he shifted his steps, his gaze completely focused on the Northern Yue Prefecture Lord in front of him.
Helian looked as if he was in a good mood, but the smile in the corner of his eyes made the hairs on Feng Lingxue’s heart stand on end.
“The young duke must be exhausted from escorting the Violet Garden all the way here. Servants!” The first half of his sentence was extremely polite, but the last three words were sonorous and powerful.
“We shall properly entertain the young duke Dongping!” He specifically emphasized the word ‘hospitality’, and Feng Lingxue could not help but think things were not good. Previously, all he wanted to do was to rush forward and tightly hug Violet Garden in his embrace, but that posture, in the eyes of outsiders, was extremely ambiguous and unbearable. This was absolutely unbearable for a man like Helian! Feng Lingxue, oh Feng Lingxue, how could you make such a low level mistake! Even if he wanted to send Zi Yuan back to this man’s side, he should have thought more about this man’s dignity and face! However, since the situation was already like this, he could only take things one step at a time.
Thinking this way, Feng Lingxue straightened her body and cupped her hands towards Helian Lie. She followed the line of soldiers carrying weapons and entered the rear camp.
On the other side, Zi Yuan submerged his snow-white body into the boiling hot water and quietly recalled what had happened earlier. The stimulation of the hot water made her feel pain on the back of her neck. Thinking about it this way, when she and Feng Lingxue had fallen into the trap of hunters within the borders of the East Peak Country, the seemingly weak and fragile man, Feng Lingxue, had fainted for two days in the trap, and then when she woke up, she had told her about their situation. Because they were in a hopeless situation, her heart had unconsciously become softer, and she had unknowingly chatted a lot with this man, including her secret that her soul came from the future.
With a “pa” sound, she slapped the surface of the water in the bath barrel and stood up. Those who were waiting on the side hurriedly asked if the hot water was too hot. She waved them all down and lowered herself back into the water.
Right now, she was very angry that she had actually told her secret to Feng Lingxue. She actually believed him so easily! The knife that had caused her neck to ache was definitely not something a person who had fallen into a trap and lost consciousness for two days. Just what kind of secrets was this Feng Lingxue hiding, and what kind of intentions did she have? He had originally planned to forget about the matters of drunkenness and teasing. Seeing that the other party was so sincere in sending him back to the Northern Yue, he thought that he was a friend that could be befriended. He didn’t expect him to be such a shrewd person! However, since he was able to do something so heavy, why did he still send him back to Helian City instead of threatening him? What was this seemingly harmless fellow planning in his heart? Was this person trustworthy or not? Also, that unfathomable trap, he couldn’t even bring someone with him to climb up, how did he bring him out of there? That horse had been disobedient before. How could it have let him control it and send him to the northern camp? How did Feng Lingxue find out about the exact location of Helian’s base camp? The whole thing was too strange! Oh right, there was also something strange. It was obvious that the weather was that harsh, and that various uncontrollable situations would occur. This Feng Lingxue, who always did things steadily, actually insisted on sending her back to the Northern Yue Mountain on that day.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this young duke Dongping wasn’t as straightforward and honest as people thought. His style of conduct was too difficult to fathom. Thinking about it again, she had gotten Helian Lie to arrest Feng Lingxue just now because she was embarrassed and was wondering how Helian Lie was going to deal with him. Just as his mind was in a mess and his mind was in a mess, he heard the sound of footsteps.
She quickly jumped out of the water, using her legs to agilely hook up the robe on the side and wrapped it around her body. She then struck out her palm towards the source of the sound, and when she saw who it was, she quickly retracted her foot and jumped back half a step.
“You’re here, why didn’t you call for a report?” She looked with shame and annoyance at the man who held her hand in his.
“What kind of briefing do I need for coming to see you?” At this moment, Helian Xuanyin did not suppress her emotions in the slightest. These few days, he really wanted this woman to go crazy. When he received the news that the honor guard escorting the Princess of Northern Yue had been ambushed, he felt as if the sky had fallen. He thought that Zi Yuan had been assassinated and immediately sent his troops to fight. On the way, he met Li Zhenyuan Hao, and only then did he know that the princess had not appeared in that large group. In the sedan chair was a stone, not a princess. Zi Yuan did not die. He had gone missing. This news gave him a bit of peace in his heart. After all, death meant eternal loss, and if they went missing, it was still possible to find them. With his power as a country of the Northern Yue, he firmly believed that he could find Princess Hua-Yang.
Although this news of his disappearance still worried him, he was worried that his disappearance would be equivalent to death. He was truly worried that he would never be able to see the Violet Garden again. He had even promised to share the world with them. He did not want Violet Garden to be the only one among the people who could stand by his side in the future when Violet Garden would no longer exist in the Grand Hegemony. If anyone wanted to take away his Violet Garden, he would fight to the death with them! Thus, when he heard that the young duke of Dongping, Feng Lingxue, and the wangfei had disappeared together, he found it even harder to eat and sleep.
Seven days later, just as he was about to leave the camp and continue his advance, he suddenly received an arrow letter telling him to wait for three days and that the young duke of Dongping would bring his princess back safely. Although he was skeptical, he was not in a rush to attack Dongping, so he waited here for three days. Tonight, the little soldier reported that someone claiming to be the Marquis of Dongping was going to barge into the camp. He immediately left the camp to take a look, but saw his beloved woman being held horizontally by the man with the extraordinary aura of an immortal even though his face was covered in dust. At that time, he almost couldn’t control his anger. Only when Zi Yuan saw him and thought of a frightened little girl jumping off his horse and throwing herself into his arms did he feel that order had been restored to his world. At that time, he had wanted nothing more than to hold his beloved woman in his arms. However, under the gazes of everyone in front of the campsite, he controlled the excitement in his heart and only lightly asked the Violet Garden about her forehead.
Now, as soon as he’d settled the young duke, he’d rushed over to the Purple Garden, where he was bathing. He missed her so much that at that moment, he just wanted to rub her into his body and give her a good love.
Who would have thought that this woman would actually chase away all the servants outside? He couldn’t help but worry if she had suffered some sort of grievance, so he wanted to think about it quietly by himself. That was why he didn’t call for a report as he barged in. Her reaction was still as quick and overbearing as ever, still gentle to him, and her face had suddenly disappeared again. It made him feel relieved.
“Zi Yuan, let me have a good look at you.” He pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and placed his lips on her full, bright cherry lips.
As the saying goes, a farewell is better than a new marriage. Plus, before this, Helian Xuanyin thought that she had lost Zi Yuan. This feeling of recovering from a loss caused him to be unable to stop after kissing the Violet Garden.
He kissed the Violet Garden until she couldn’t breathe. She pushed him away with all her might, but he pouted in dissatisfaction. “Violet Garden, I want you …” As he spoke, he began to fiddle with his military uniform.
However, although this man was good at fighting and planning, he was not good at taking off his clothes.
Seeing him flustered and extremely anxious, the previously vexed Zi Yuan was suddenly amused by him. As soon as she smiled, Helian came up to her again and covered her mouth with his. She felt around his body and undid his uniform for him. Her long hands nimbly moved around his waist and front of his chest, lightly releasing his clothes. As he was being stripped of his uniform layer by layer, Viola pushed him back against the wall.
