Heartless Phoenix Queen - C206

“This map is not allowed here.” Ellie whispered to Viola as soon as she saw her.

According to the map, there should be a corridor on this side of the wall. However, when they entered, they discovered that they were in a small garden. The grass was very flat, and Ellie had been hiding in the corner because she was worried about traps.

“I have a premonition,” Ellie said excitedly. “There’s a lot of traps locked up in the nearest room in the past.”

The Violet Garden looked around the courtyard. The grass that had been tidied to the point of being flat was littered with blue stone slabs, each of which had some decorative patterns carved into them. On the left side of the yard was a blue stone house that looked like a common house. On the left side of the house was a fence, and beside the fence was a winding corridor that extended to who knows where. To the right of the yard was a closed gate, and directly opposite them was a cloister that seemed to connect with the cloisters on the other side of the fence.

“It seems like this map does not show the area where there might be mechanisms.” Ellie sighed. Violet Garden nodded her head in agreement. She glanced at the expressionless Tang Ao and said, “If you had investigated this area earlier, you would have discovered this long ago.”

“…” Tang Ao didn’t answer her. That is indeed the case. However, when they were discussing the proposal, they rejected the idea of walking by the water from the very start. Speaking of which, it seems like the fellow leading the team for the second operation suggested walking by the water first. Tang Ao didn’t dare to think any further.

If he wanted to find out the exact location of where Mu Rong Xiu was being held at, he would have to break the mechanisms in the courtyard.

Ellie stared at the patterns on the stone slabs, frowning. She was obviously trying to figure out how to break them.

Tang Ao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up in a soft voice: “Those patterns seem to have the meaning of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.”

Ellie rolled her eyes. “I could tell that earlier, but the key point is to find the rules. I need to figure out what the rules are for setting up the traps.”

“If that’s the case, then it’s probably the Five Elements Formation.” Tang Ao continued in a low voice. “If it’s the Five Elements Formation, I think I should be able to break it.”

“Hey, sir, it’s not about time, it must be about time to break. Otherwise, you might lose your life at any time.” Ellie did not trust the silent, strong man.

“Alright, then you’ll have to break it.” Zi Yuan could faintly feel that this man gave her a similar feeling to the man Ye Lan Cang from before. He was calm, reliable, and at ease.

“Mm, you guys follow my footsteps.” Tang Ao’s eyes twinkled with confidence.

Putting aside the fact that Zi Yuan and his entourage were progressing quite well in their quest to reach the other side of the Regent’s Mansion, after Nah He Lian received the secret letter from Zi Yuan, who was far to the west, he immediately began to approach the mysterious wealthy merchant.

However, the weather was unpredictable. Perhaps it was because he was not used to not having his mother by his side, his son began coughing not long after Zi Yuan left. Suddenly, his illness turned into a cold fever and became critical. At this moment, his daughter began to cough from a cold. Helian called for the imperial physician to take care of things every day, but the little prince didn’t seem to have gotten any better. His daughter also started to feel cold and hot.

Helian couldn’t send a message to the Violet Garden. She was worried that her child would affect her movements, so she became angry and wanted to kill a few imperial physicians. When she thought of her own child, her heart suddenly softened. He could not help but laugh at himself. After becoming a father, he had also become merciful, unlike the ruthless Helian of the past.

As he was fretting over the child’s illness, anxious as an ant on a hot pan, the hospital decided to bring a person to meet him. The academy’s judge said that this person was his former classmate who had studied medicine together. Afterwards, he opened his own medicine store and started a business. He was adept at treating paediatrics.

Helian Yi, who was in a desperate situation, could not care too much. He had already become the senior doctor whom he trusted the most, hence he didn’t use anyone he doubted. Helian Xuan Yi was now just a helpless father to his child.

That person separately checked the pulse of the two children and opened a prescription. He consoled Helian Lie, saying, “Your Highness can reduce the fever three days after taking the soup. Your Highness can reduce the fever tonight after taking the soup.”

It was night, and the little princess was no longer feverish. When the doctor entered the palace again, Helian was so happy that he wanted to reward him with money and jewelry. However, the doctor politely rejected him, saying that he had only come to treat the child to repay the favor of others. These words confused Helian Lie. He was about to inquire further, but the doctor stopped speaking.

Helian knew that he could not force the doctor to speak again, and that he could not force him to answer. The Northern Yue was about to use his servants, so he couldn’t just kill them as he had done before.

Three days later, when the little prince’s condition had stabilized, the doctor immediately bade Helian farewell.

Helian Lie had sent people to secretly follow the doctor all the way. Unexpectedly, he was able to lose track of the doctor on the way. This doctor was truly mysterious. Helian couldn’t help but carefully question the dark guard when and where he had lost him.

The guard recalled for a moment and then added, “That’s right, this subordinate seems to have seen the figure of the Marquis of Dongping Kingdom, Feng Lingxue. It’s just that the distance is too far, so it can’t be seen clearly, so this subordinate can’t confirm it, but since master asked, this subordinate increasingly feels that the suspicious figure should be the Marquis of Dongping Kingdom.”

The doctor who had followed him to the North Yue Palace to treat the prince and princess had actually dragged out a young duke from Dongping Kingdom. Helian could not help but squint his eyes in amusement.

He had always felt that this Feng Lingxue liked Zi Yuan very much. Even when he communicated with Feng Lingxue, he would more or less express that he knew that he liked Zi Yuan. However, Feng Lingxue had never responded in any way. Zi Yuan had also told him that Feng Lingxue definitely did not like her.

However, as a man, he still instinctively trusted his intuition. No man would show that kind of expression of yearning, that kind of admiration and adoration for a woman he wasn’t interested in. If Feng Lingxue disliked Zi Yuan, she would not have clearly seen that Zi Yuan was pretending to be injured to lure the enemy into the depths of his cultivation, but she was still willing to be tricked and become a Zi Yuan.

If Feng Lingxue did not like Zi Yuan, she would not apologize to her for being so light after getting drunk, to the point where she would do everything she could to escort her back to Helian Lie’s side. If Feng Lingxue did not like Zi Yuan, then she would not have stayed in the palace to drink during the birth, nor would she have loved and doted upon the two children so much after the birth.

And this time, this genius doctor that suddenly appeared was most likely the doctor that Feng Lingxue had called over, bringing him to her side through the hospital’s judge. Feng Lingxue truly understood him. If he had brought the doctor with him, to be honest, he would not have let the doctor have a look at his child. However, it was different when the academy’s judge brought him here.

Feng Lingxue, oh Feng Lingxue, could it be that you are really willing to give it to the Violet Garden without any regrets? You clearly know that the Violet Garden only has me, Helian, in her heart, and even my good brother, Ye LanCang, knows this. Even he has buried his good impression of the Violet Garden deep in his heart.

Helian Lie secretly told Feng Lingxue in his heart that it was best if she gave up on this idea of hers. Violet Garden would not like you. When he thought of this, a hint of warmth appeared on his previously ice-cold face. At this moment, he suddenly missed Zi Yuan very much, missed the coldness in her eyes, missed the flirtatious smile on her face, missed her warm and full lips, missed the curves of her body, missed the fragrance of her breath, missed every little bit of her.

However, the task she assigned to him had yet to be completed. That mysterious businessman was really mysterious. He had only found out about the wealthy businessman’s huge network in the Northern State of Yue, but he couldn’t find out who he was or what interest group he had.

Helian Lie felt an unprecedented sense of defeat when he faced this mysterious business.

At this time, Zi Ling, who had become the wife of a great general, was working hard to lure the great general into bed.

Previously, Feng Lingxue had sent Ailee to the northern capital of Yuejing to become a teacher of Zi Ling. She wanted Ailee to teach her the bewitching art of the Twelve Charms, and to learn to settle debts. It was just that Ellie had been assigned to Violetflower, so the teaching assignment had been suspended.

However, Zi Ling was a good student who worked hard. Although Ellie had only taught her the basics of bewitching arts, she had been practicing on Ye Cang nonstop during this period of time. Unknowingly, Zi Ling’s bewitching arts had broken through the first layer and reached the second layer. However, what she didn’t know was that Ye Indigo Blue had a feeling that Zi Ling was becoming more and more handsome. Although her appearance was still similar to Violet Garden, her entire body was emitting a kind of indescribable beauty.

Ever since he had injured his Profound Qi and gained his Dao with Mu Rong Xiu, he hadn’t wanted to have a relationship with Zi Ling. He had always kept a low profile regarding matters of love between men and women. However, Zi Ling was unwilling to let him go. In addition, after cultivating the bewitching arts, she had to seduce him every day. From the start, Ye Bluelight had no reaction. Now, he gradually began to lose control of himself.

That night, after the two finished dinner, Zi Ling began to perform her bewitching technique against Ye Cang. Ye Indigo Blue seemed to be even more impatient than before. Zi Ling was still unrelenting as she stuck her body against his strong body. Suddenly, Zi Ling stopped. Even though Ellie had taught her the basics, Ellie hurried off before she had a chance to learn more about men and women.

Previously when she was playing with him, he seemed like he was a piece of wood. There was nothing special about him. However, just now, she seemed to have come across something extraordinary. Her face burned. This appearance, coupled with the fact that his bewitching skills had yet to disperse, made him look like a little lamb that Ye Lanhuang could eat. Although Ye Indigo was still faintly averse to relationships between men and women, his body had been lured by the purple Ling for quite some time. He was unable to endure the thirst.

His body continuously battled against his mental feelings, to the point where his entire body began to tremble slightly. Ellie has taught the purple Ling, Ellie said. It’s one of the things a man gets excited about. Ziling’s heart suddenly became extremely happy. So many days of perseverance, it seemed to have paid off!

Her bewitching arts had just entered the second layer and she didn’t have a master to teach her at the moment, so the bashfulness of the young girl in her heart was still very heavy. But she really loved the man in front of her.

When the two soft and hot lips pressed against each other, a thunderous sound boomed in Ye Blueheaven’s mind. The string called reason snapped, followed by a whine. The string called resistance also broke.
