Heartless Phoenix Queen - C204
After that, Ellie took Violet Garden everywhere. Like an energetic ordinary girl, she walked and stopped in the streets, picking out some jewelry from the stall, picking out fabric from the cloth shop, pulling her to stop at the snack bar to eat something, and then skipping into the clothing store to buy two sets of beautiful clothes. Those who didn’t know the ins and outs only thought that she was an ordinary pretty girl when they saw her. No one would have thought that Ellie was actually already over thirty years old. The bewitching arts she practiced made her look very young. Her skin was as tender as a teenage girl’s. Standing beside Violet Garden, Ellie actually looked like a little sister.
Of course, the information on Ailee that Violet Garden received wasn’t complete. Thus, she really thought that Ailee was younger than her, plus she had met Aileen at Ailee’s place previously, and now, due to her maternal temper, she felt an inexplicable sense of regret for Aileen. Unknowingly, she started to have feelings for Ailee as well, and when she was strolling around the streets with her, she unconsciously began to like this girl.
The two girls wandered from the busy city to a quiet corner like close friends and sisters. “When the sky turns dark, we’ll jump from here to that rooftop, and then we’ll walk along that rooftop. Stay close to me, we’ll jump into Red’s room from the back window.”
Zi Yuan was stunned. “That Xiao Hong, isn’t it you?”
Of course it’s not me. Would I call it by such a vulgar name?” “I’m sorry,” Ellie replied, then tilted her head and thought for a moment. Oh, I’ve used such a vulgar name like Hong Cui, it was this lord that wanted me to call it, otherwise I wouldn’t have used such a vulgar name.
“Ellie, is that your real name?” Zi Yuan pursed his lips and asked.
“Guess?” Ellie pursed her lips.
“I can’t guess.” Zi Yuan replied honestly.
“Then I’ll stop guessing. Oh right, for the sake of safety, let’s change clothes.” As if she had turned into magic, she took out two sets of night clothes.
“Speaking of which, when did the clothes I just bought become two sets of night clothes?” Violet Garden was a bit curious. Previously on the road, they had met a thief. A flash of inspiration passed through Violet Garden. Without waiting for Ellie’s reply, she answered her own question, “So the thief was a comrade …”
Ellie only smiled faintly and did not reply. She took off her clothes again and began to change.
Zi Yuan sighed, took off his coat, and changed into his night attire as well. At this moment, the night had completely fallen. The darkness of winter’s night was the sort of extremely dense ink that came from thick ink. Even though the capital’s lights were very bright, it was still dark in this secluded box. If one did not have training, it was impossible to see in the darkness.
Ellie leaned against the wall again, waited for a moment, then leaped up onto the roof. She whispered to Viola to follow her, and with small steps began to fly over the wall. I don’t know if Ellie had walked this path on this roof many times in private, or if she had a good memory, but when she took Violetflower along, she didn’t stop at all to think for a moment before walking again. Instead, she took the familiar route, made a quick turn, jumped up, and jumped to the edge of another building. Zi Yuan was worried that she would lose her way with a few of her hidden guards, so he intentionally kept some distance between them. When they were almost there, Ellie stopped and complained that she was walking too slowly.
Viola resists the urge to explain and stays silent, then follows Ellie to cling to the wall and climb up to the windowsill. The window was ajar, so it was easily opened by someone outside. The two jumped down gently and saw that Liu Dun was already waiting for them inside the room. The girl called Xiao Hong was lying on the bed, looking like she had been pressed to sleep.
“Miss, you’re on time.” Liu’s shrewd eyes looked straight at Ellie, as if deliberately unable to bear the wisteria.
Ellie laughed, pointed at Violet Garden and said, “This is the real deal. I’m just the one who sent the message. Talk to me and I’ll be on the lookout for you.”
Liu Kui had no choice but to clasp his hands at the Violet Garden. “I wonder why the Imperial Concubine of the Northern Yue wishes to …” Halfway through his words, he frowned again and swallowed the other half.
As a result, Zi Yuan’s eyes curved as he laughed, “The young falcon has injured its master. Others can’t bear to watch, so they want to help its master.”
“What are the conditions?” Liu Dun went straight to the point.
“Submit!” The smile on Zi Yuan’s face intensified.
“Bullshit!” Liu Ding was so angry that his hat almost fell off, “Since that’s the case, then I won’t trouble you anymore!” “Farewell!” With that, he cupped his hands and prepared to leave.
Ellie stopped him with a grin: “Why are you so impatient? Oh yeah, I heard recently that iron is really easy to sell. It seems like someone is planning to use fine iron to create a bigger iron lock to replace the smaller one they use now. Right now, the lock seems to be cracked, so that person is worried that it won’t be locked. ”
“What!” Liu Dun was shocked. He still hasn’t received this information, so he doesn’t know if what this extremely attractive girl said is true or not.
On the other side, Zi Yuan was also shocked. She didn’t have such information here, and if this was true, then Feng Lingxue’s intelligence network would be much more developed than her intelligence network. This Feng Lingxue was truly a terrifying existence!
“So, now is the best time to save your master. After this opportunity passes, with your strength, it will be even more difficult to carry out your rescue plan.” The more innocent Ellie’s smile was, the more Liu Dun panicked in his heart.
Indeed, it was as the beautiful young lady had said. No matter now or in the future, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to save Mu Rong Xiu. He had to rely on other forces. He had tried to leave the country of Xilai, but those people were basically well-informed and didn’t want to wade in troubled waters. He had originally wanted to rely on the East Pingguo as a foreign power, but after hearing that the king wanted to marry the East Pingguo Kingdom, he knew that he couldn’t count on the king anymore. He had initially wanted to count on the East Pingguo Country as a foreign power, but after hearing that the king wanted to marry the East Pingguo Kingdom, he knew that he couldn’t count on the king of the East Pingguo Kingdom. As for the other small countries, that was even more impossible. Therefore, he had already secretly formed a death squadron with his remaining strength, planning to try again for the last time and use the method of self-destruct to break into the holding area. He wanted to find an opportunity to save Murong Xiu.
He had never expected that the Northern Yue would really come to rescue Murong Xiu. What was even more unexpected was that this person was Murong Xiu’s sworn enemy, Lady Purple Garden. Perhaps he could be considered Murong Xiu’s close confidante, even though he didn’t want to admit it.
However, it was difficult for him to accept the conditions of being submissive.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Ellie leaned close to his ear and whispered, “You promised first and didn’t die. How come you didn’t learn anything about your master?”
When Liu Dun heard this, he looked doubtfully at Ellie, then clasped his hands towards Zi Yuan and said, “Then, I can only, I’ll have to trouble you!”
Purple Garden caught the whisper of Ellie and him with his pointy ear and snorted in his heart. However, he didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and replied, “Then, I need to know more about you. I don’t think it’s very convenient to talk here.”
Liu Ding nodded and said, “At the third fragment of the night, there will be people coming to the ladies’ quarters to invite you two.”
After this discussion, Ellie returned from the window with Violetflower. Liu Ding woke Little Red up, coaxed him, gave him some silver, and left the Lucky Lounge.
When Zi Yuan and Ellie returned to the alley they had started off in, Ellie was about to leave when Zi Yuan pulled her back.
“Lady Ellie, you need to come back with me.”
Ellie said, puzzled, “But Ellie’s mission has already been completed.” I just asked Ellie to help you with this. ”
“Earlier, I said that ‘Miss will be invited to the bed by someone’. I think that Liu Kui should rather believe you than me.” The Violet Garden replied coldly.
Ellie said with exaggerated surprise, “How can this be!” Afterwards, she pretended to be thinking hard and said in a painful tone, “I have no other choice. It seems that it is true, I can only continue to work. No, I must ask my lord for a raise. How can I ask Ellie to do so many things?” After saying that, she clenched her fist, revealing a look of unwillingness.
Zi Yuan wasn’t sure if she was just putting on an act or if Feng Lingxue really wanted her to do something. Now that the situation had developed to this point, Liu Dun did indeed trust Ailee a bit more. Moreover, since Feng Lingxue took the initiative to wade through muddy water herself, Zi Yuan would definitely let her people wade through muddy water to the end!
Ellie followed Viola back to where they were staying. In the middle of the night, someone was knocking on the window of their bedroom, and they followed that person over the wall. The three of them arrived at a dark courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, the room was also pitch black. After the person had skillfully turned on the mechanism, a platform appeared on the ground. When the three of them walked up, the platform automatically slid down.
When the platform came to a halt, Zi Yuan looked to the side and realized that someone was trying to pull the platform. Even though it wasn’t a fully automated elevator, she still felt that the technology of the Western Kingdom had improved quite a bit. No, it was something that Murong Xiu had done in the past few years, and it was very advanced. This artificial elevator should have been built recently.
In the underground chamber, Liu Gui, Ellie, and Violetgrass gave a detailed account of the situation they knew and took out a very complete map.
After the Violet Garden heard his introduction, she felt a little doubtful and asked, “Actually, your plans were very thorough, but why did you fail three times to rescue him?”
Liu Bai shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. It’s probably because my intelligence wasn’t accurate enough and my military strength wasn’t clear.” He looked at Ellie with a face full of shame and anticipation. He was probably hoping that her information was accurate enough.
Ellie guessed what he was thinking and quickly waved him off. “Don’t count on me. I’m not sure about the military strength there either. Princess should know better.” Ellie added in a flattering tone.
“For the time being, I’m not too sure either. I think I’ll need to personally go and check it out.” At this point, she paused and then continued, “I wonder if there are any spies among your janissaries?”
“We’ve already investigated this. The failure of the first time was indeed due to a small detail entering, but the second and third time …” Liu Dun once again revealed an ashamed expression.
