Heartless Phoenix Queen - C191

“…” “Do you miss me a lot …” She lifted the straps of his tunic with her fingers and stroked his firm chest with her fingertips.

“Yes, I miss you …” Helian Lie was gasping for breath as he admitted to his mistake. At the same time, he finally touched the belt on her robe and forcefully pulled off the knot on her robe.

He took advantage of the moment when Zi Yuan was in a daze to embrace her waist and turn around. The two of them had just switched seats.

At this moment, little Helian who had been standing tall since a long time ago burst into the limitless spring light, causing Zi Yuan to groan incessantly. The Violet Garden never expected Helian to be so impatient. He was actually in the bathing area, relying on the not very sturdy curtain wall to attack the city …

“…” Profound Wings… I think this account room… Any time… Possible… “It will collapse …” She was worried.

“…” Then … “It’s done for!” At this moment, Helian had no time to think of other things.

“That would… Shame on you… In a certain year, in a certain month, in a certain day… The King of the Northern Yue and the Princess … Because… “Cause the barracks to collapse…”

“Let it go …”

“…” “I’m pregnant …”

“I will be more careful …”

Of course, in the end, the barracks did not collapse. Zi Yuan would never let such an embarrassing incident like the collapse of the living quarters happen to her. However, because Helian was too brave and fierce, Zi Yuan still felt her waist ache the next morning. Thus, she had the thought of staying in bed. However, after many years of forming a good habit, she still got up on time and did some physical training. Afterwards, she decided to interrogate Feng Lingxue.

Yes, an interrogation. Although Helian did not imprison Feng Lingxue, she had been placed under house arrest within the camp.

At first, Zi Yuan wanted to ignore Feng Lingxue for a few days, but when she thought about it, she realized that she really didn’t know much about this person’s martial arts. If she kept him locked up for too long, he would escape, and that would be more of a loss than gain.

As for Helian, he had received the secret report early in the morning. It seemed that he had caught those people who had attacked the honor guard that had sent the Princess of Northern Yue back from the East Peak Country. Thus, he had taken his trusted aides out of the camp to interrogate those people as well. It was just that he had left the house early, and the Violet Garden had slept soundly at that time, so she had not been able to properly understand the situation.

Zi Yuan, whose hair had always been a mess these past few days, had tidied himself up well. He only arrived at Feng Lingxue’s tent at noon.

This person seemed to enjoy being kept under house arrest like this. There was no temper or emotion on his face or actions. When he saw the Violet Garden enter, he even revealed a smile that was close to flattery.

“Good morning, Princess!” He bowed politely, then sat to the side, smiling without saying a word.

On the other hand, Zi Yuan couldn’t stand the silent atmosphere and spoke first.

“I came today to seek advice from the young duke. With his physique of someone who’s fallen into a trap and lost consciousness for two days, he was actually able to knock me out. Is there some secret medicine that allows the duke to be so mighty all of a sudden?” she asked bluntly.

“I don’t have any medicine, but I was forced to do it when I knocked out the wangfei. I didn’t knock her out with my bare hands. The scabbard of the dagger I brought with me was hard enough to be successful. This was pure luck.” Feng Lingxue maintained a graceful smile and did not mind at all the unkind tone of Zi Yuan.

“Oh? Then, what’s the dagger? ” Zi Yuan decided not to let the evil people try to rob him until the end.

Feng Lingxue took out a half foot long dagger from beside her boot, its sheath looked very simple and unadorned. The Marquis’ defensive dagger actually had such a simple scabbard, which surprised Zi Yuan a bit.

Daggers are meant to be convenient to defend against, they’re usually hidden inside the boots. Daggers with scabbards are usually used for ornamental purposes. As the young duke, you don’t have any decorations on this dagger. Violet Garden took the dagger from Feng Lingxue and carefully examined it.

“Because this dagger is very sharp, it must have a sheath to protect it. However, I do not like the luxurious style, so I can be very concise. In addition, this sheath is made of fine iron and can also be used as a weapon.” Feng Lingxue discussed his dagger with Zi Yuan without holding back.

There was an inconspicuous mechanism beside the scabbard of this dagger. It could shoot out multiple needles. If it was a poisonous needle, it could kill people without them noticing.

“If wangfei likes it, I’ll give you this dagger.” Feng Lingxue said generously.

Zi Yuan truly liked this dagger very much. Regardless of whether Feng Lingxue used the sheath of this dagger to knock him out or if he knocked him out with the knife, it did not hinder her from liking this dagger. However, when she heard that Feng Lingxue was so generous as to give it to her, she still alertly rejected it.

“I just wanted to give the wangfei a personal favor. I had no other intentions. Xue did not take good care of her. Xue did not blame Xue Pingyuan for causing the people of Dongping to suffer from the war. If he could win the favor of the wangfei with such a small gift and make the Northern King stop fighting, Xue Yue would naturally be happy to do so. She doesn’t have any other thoughts. ” Feng Lingxue spoke with utmost sincerity.

If it was before, the Violet Garden would have truly been moved a bit by him, but at that moment, there were still many unsolved mysteries in her heart. So, she didn’t completely believe his words. However, this dagger was a good item. Thus, after thinking about it again and again, Zi Yuan decided to keep it.

Last night, she had found out from Helian Lie about why he was able to meet up with Feng Lingxue in this camp, so she was too lazy to ask about these details. At this moment, she also wanted to know one more thing, and that was how Feng Lingxue had managed to get the two of them out of that trap.

“It’s my war horse.” Feng Lingxue revealed a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Didn’t your horse refuse to walk before?” Zi Yuan was extremely curious.

“This warhorse has been following me for many years. I think that since it was unwilling to leave, it must have sensed the danger ahead.” Feng Lingxue took off a bag, “I just remembered that I have some good tea from the East Peak Country on me, would you like to try it, Princess?”

Zi Yuan reflexively replied, “No need.”

“Then may I ask the wangfei to call someone to get Snow a silver crane and a tea set. Snow wants to drink tea now.” Feng Lingxue’s tone was very gentle and elegant, and Ziyuan only felt goosebumps all over his body. He hurriedly called for someone to bring the things Feng Lingxue wanted, and as he busied himself with brewing tea, he began to narrate how loyal and devoted his BMW was to its owner.

After all, he had not personally witnessed how Feng Lingxue had pulled the two of them out of that deep trap. Feng Lingxue had said that he had heard the sound of his war horse and felt that it had come back to find its owner, so he had a plan in his heart. However, he was worried that Violet Garden would not listen to him, so he could only knock her unconscious. Then he threw the straw rope and pulled them up on his horse. Even though this explanation couldn’t convince the Violet Garden, Feng Lingxue firmly believed that it was the truth. It was indeed the same warhorse that had brought them to the northern army camp where Helian had stationed. Therefore, this story was not completely unbelievable.

“Princess, if one day you have a war horse that can communicate with your heart, you will understand the truth of what I have said. “Come, Princess, are you sure you don’t want to try our Eastpan Kingdom’s tea?” A harmless smile appeared on Feng Lingxue’s face, but it made Zi Yuan feel that this person was mysterious.

Right now, she felt that this Feng Lingxue was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, but why was he deliberately trying to please her? Actually, he could have taken himself as a hostage and coerced the North to retreat. This was definitely more effective than being trapped in a trap himself. Since they wanted a truce, shouldn’t they have more effective means to achieve it? What was he planning by sending himself back to Helian with all his might? It seemed like she was smiling from the bottom of her heart, but how much sincerity did she actually have? Zi Yuan felt that he was increasingly unable to see through this seemingly calm and composed young duke Dongping.

Although he still had too many doubts, he couldn’t answer them all right now. Even if he were to continue to ask straightforwardly, the young duke would still answer with a few words. Zi Yuan gave up on the thought to inquire further and once again declined Feng Lingxue’s request to taste the tea that was made from the tea that he took out from his bag. — — Although it smelled very good, and he also enjoyed watching the young duke’s skills in the art of tea — — he returned to Helian’s account.

Unexpectedly, he saw the injured Helian Profound Wings in the big tent.

An arrow had struck Helian Xuanyin’s right shoulder. When Zi Yuan had entered, his consciousness was still clear. He and Zi Yuan had explained why he was injured.

It turned out that today, he had brought Cang Lan out of the camp to meet those people from the honor guard team that had attacked the Dongping Kingdom before sending the Princess of Northern Yue back. The targets of those people were clearly Helian himself. All sorts of arrows headed straight for Helian. For a moment of carelessness, an arrow had shot through the back of his right shoulder.

“The arrows are still poisonous …” A young imperial physician couldn’t help butting in. Violet Garden’s pupils contracted in an instant as a wave of anger rose from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head. She quickly walked over and picked up the arrow from the tray, examining it closely.

Seeing this, Lan Cang stepped forward and reported, “Royal Consort, your subject has been inspecting the arrow. Your subject is mistaken. It doesn’t seem to be made by the Eastpeng Kingdom.”

“Hmph, I don’t think so.” Zi Yuan snorted coldly. “Both Xi Li and Dong Ping are involved!”

“Esteemed wangfei, this old official wants to pull out an arrow for the king right now. May esteemed wangfei …” An old imperial physician asked, trembling.

Zi Yuan nodded. Previously, Zi Yuan had helped the imperial physician treat Helian’s wounds. Rather than letting the young doctors and disciples do the same, she was more confident in her ability to help the imperial physician deal with Helian’s wounds. She put a clean towel in his mouth and pressed his shoulder. After the imperial physician used a knife to lightly gouge the wound out even larger, containing some anesthetic and hemostasis powder from the arrow wound, Helian groaned softly and fainted. But the imperial physician’s hand didn’t stop moving. He dug up the wound to a suitable size before suddenly exerting strength and pulled out the arrowhead. His hand gestures were quite accurate, so he didn’t spurt out any blood.

The old imperial physician consoled Zi Yuan while instructing his subordinates to hurry and boil the soup while removing the poisonous blood from the wounds. He also did the job of staunching the wounds. After all, blood was always flowing, no matter how much there was, it had to be flowing.

The Violet Garden had the people clean the arrowheads, and with just a glance, she tossed them to Yuan Hao.

When he saw the pattern carved on the arrow, he cried out in alarm, “How could this happen?!”
