Phoenix Duchess - C33

“Why not report it?” Dong Ling Wan’s voice was slightly cold, but her words carried a hint of anger. Even if she had lost her mind, it only took her a split-second to recover. After all, she still had to continue acting out this play.

“This… This servant deserves to die! ” When those few people heard this they knew they couldn’t deceive him, so they simply knelt down and kowtowed. At this moment, who knew when they would attack? Who would dare to run around randomly?

Even though he would always talk about it wholeheartedly, when it came to life and death situations, how many people would actually risk their lives for the sake of others?

They knew that this young mistress had a good relationship with her own master. They did not report this because they were afraid of death. If anything happened to their master because of this, how could they bear the consequences?

Dong Ling Wan cast a sidelong glance at them, “Slaves who are afraid of death are just a bunch of heartless, unscrupulous trash. What use do you have!?” “Forget it, it’s a good thing that the wangfei and princess have their own interests, and that the crown prince is blessed with the protection of the heavens. Back then, there was a mishap in the palace, and His Majesty was afraid that the assassin who escaped injured the nobleman and took him to the palace. He thought all of you were very sincere, but if it wasn’t for the crown prince privately ordering me to look, I wouldn’t have known that you were all so lazy, you deserve death!”

Upon hearing these words, the few of them were so frightened that their legs went limp. They had only thought of how to preserve their lives, and never expected that Eastern Ling Wan was lying to them. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Eastern Ling Wan, “Second Miss, please spare our lives! Second Miss, spare me! ”

Dong Ling Wan cast a sidelong glance at them and sighed heavily, “I don’t want to hurt myself. I can only blame myself for being too hasty with my words and actually letting you guys hear something that you shouldn’t have known about. Now, I have no other choice. However, it is, after all, I that have harmed you all. Chen Huan, when you attack them, do not let them suffer too much.

Chen Huan’s sword, which was half out of its scabbard, was completely pulled out. The blade was pressed against the scabbard and made a cold sound, causing the few of them to lose their minds. The few of them hurriedly surrounded her, holding onto the corner of her skirt as they begged, “Second Miss, we definitely won’t speak of such a big thing like this, please spare our lives, Second Miss.”

At this moment, their foreheads were already bleeding, but they still did not dare to stop. Dong Ling Wan’s gaze was gentle, as if she could not bear it, but if one looked closely at her eyes, they would realize that her gaze, which seemed to be filled with pity for all living beings, had never once stirred up a single ripple.

After a long while, Dong Ling Wan sighed again, and seemed to be in a difficult situation, “In that case, you’d better keep your mouth shut. I’ll hide this from the crown prince, and when I leave later, you should shut the door and pretend that this has never happened. If you reveal it to others, I won’t be able to protect you.”

Those people didn’t die when they heard this. They immediately kowtowed to express their gratitude and respectfully sent Dong Ling Wan out of the door. Only after a few kowtows did they put the door back in place. Dong Ling Wan was too preoccupied with her thoughts to notice the terrifying killing intent in the pair of eyes that penetrated through the wooden door behind her.

“Miss, don’t work too hard, rest early!” After adding two spoonfuls of spices to the censer, Fang Xue went back to advise Dong Ling Wan.

Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any problems with Ah Xun. But why was she feeling so uneasy? Dong Ling Wan let out a long sigh, and let Dong Ling let Dong Ling help her up to the bed and put out the candle.

The moon was dark and the winds were strong. Within Duke Rong Yuan’s mansion, the four servants were gathered together for a drink during the day.

“Come, come, come! Let’s drink a few cups to calm down!”

“Come, let’s fight for our brothers who have survived a few great difficulties!”

“Of course, of course. If we survive a great disaster, there will definitely be a future …”

Before he could say the word “good”, that person had already widened his eyes. His face still had the same expression as before and he was just sitting there motionlessly.

“Hey, what happened to you?”

“Hey!” “You …”

A black shadow floated down from the beam of the room. He was dressed in a black robe, outlining her exquisite figure. She was exceptionally charming. This person did not hide his face, clearly not afraid of exposing his identity.

“It’s, it’s you. Didn’t Second Miss already …”

His gaze turned from misty to fear, and before that person could finish speaking, the woman threw out a willow leaf blade from her hand and stabbed into that person’s forehead. The other two people didn’t even have time to react before their lives ended in the same way.

Taking advantage of the night, he threw the corpses into a dry well in the corner of the mansion. Glancing coldly at the corpse in the dry well, his dark red lips slightly perked up, “The young miss also said that only dead people can’t talk.”

Raising his head to look at the gloomy moon, his gaze towards the snow became somewhat sorrowful. Looking at the carrier pigeon in his hand, he finally broke down the written creed into pieces.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Qian leaned against the window as he looked up at the moon. However, he couldn’t help but think of the woman in the city who was so conceited that it hurt his teeth.

At this point in time, Xiao Qian had to admit that Dong Ling Wan was a woman who was extremely good at studying people’s hearts. Ever since their first meeting, she was certain that she would never kill her, and even openly and secretly bickered with him.

Xiao Qian was curious about many times. How could she dare to act so boldly based on her own judgement? Didn’t she know to consider the consequences? Where did this woman’s confidence come from?

Sometimes, this woman was bold to the point that it made him fearful. She was too crazy, crazy to the point that it made him think … Help her clean up the mess!

Yang Zhe walked in from outside. He was surprised to see Xiao Qian staring blankly at him. However, he didn’t expose Xiao Qian. He just coughed lightly and told Xiao Qian that he had entered.

Xiao Qian turned his head to look at him and said, “I’m here.”

“Not long after we left, Xiao Hui surrounded the city with his men. The two sides are still in a stalemate.”

Xiao Qian nodded and didn’t say anything.

Indeed, Xiao Qian and even Xiao Han’s group had long since received the news that Xiao Han was trying to force them to go to the palace, and had left the capital in advance. When Dong Ling Wan went to visit Xiao Qian for the second time, Xiao Qian had already left, and Yang Zhe was a day late.

“Are you thinking about that childhood sweetheart of yours again?” Yang Qing teased.

Although the two of them were master and servant on the surface, they were actually extremely close. They were brothers that had been through life, and normally, when outsiders were away, the two of them would no longer have the status of master and servant.

“I am only repaying her personally. After all, she has guarded that thing for me for ten years.”

A favor? Yang Zhe inwardly chuckled. He still needed to go to the other girl’s house every two days, and he even wanted to pick a fight with the other girl? How could she care so much about other people’s affairs? How could she care so much about her sister’s affairs before she left?

This person was deeply in love, yet he didn’t know it yet!

Yang Chi should have been happy that his brother had finally fallen in love, but he was actually worried.

She had the same personality as Xiao Qian, but compared to Xiao Qian, that woman’s personality was a little more extreme. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that she had a heart of stone. Her heart wouldn’t be able to move them, especially since they were so close and their positions were different.

Yang Qing shook his head. Xiao Qian was not a child, so how could he not know what he was doing? Let him decide for himself!

“You didn’t take that thing back and you’re already so confident? “Until now, there has not been a single message sent back!” Yang Zhe chuckled.

“I’ve been with her for ten years. Why not? Besides, didn’t Blessed Snow stay by her side? “Now that the city gate is closed, will Xue’er, Xue Ci’s brain, send a message out at this time to be intercepted?”

Yang Zhe didn’t say anything, he just continued to smile.

On the fifth day after the siege, while Eastflow Wan was enjoying her morning tea, she hurriedly ran into the room. Panting, she held onto the table and shouted, “Miss, the emperor passed away!”
