C188 (1/2)

Under the illumination of the burning torches, a few large words were written in bold and unrestrained style, indicating the arrogance of the person who left the message.

Ye Shishuang's hands that were holding the piece of scrap paper trembled, and emotionlessly tore it apart. His face was pale white, and his eyes were extremely cold, like a sharp sword that was about to devour someone, his entire body was trembling, as though he would fly into a rage at any moment.

The soldiers by her side kept their distance from her as they watched her. They stood there, panicking, not daring to breathe. They were afraid that if they accidentally made the empress unhappy, they would end their own lives.

Under their uneasy gazes, Ye Shishuang's stiff face slowly faded away, replaced with an indifferent expression.

”So it's an old friend from the Xi Liang!”

Her red lips curled up into a faint smile, but her tone was calm and collected.

The unfathomable death of a Prince Mo from the Dongjun Kingdom was already very suspicious, but who would have thought that the corpse would disappear without a trace, while the Old Marquis of the Wang clan did not send anyone to look for it. This caused people to have to ponder deeply.

She had sent people to search for him for a long time, and there were no clues about him either. She did not expect that he had actually infiltrated Xi Liang, and was living right under her nose.

End Consort...

So it was for her.

In the Magnificent Brocade Palace, the lights were still as brightly lit as ever. In the pitch-black palace, it was somewhat dazzling.

There was a buddhist hall in the Ronghua Palace, and the sound of the wooden fish came from there, wrapping the clear night with a desolate sense of regret.

Ye Shishuang pushed open the Ancestral Hall's door, and a middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous palace robes knelt in front of the Buddha, her eyes closed as she rapped the wooden fish.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, his calm brows knitted together. The rhythm of knocking on the wooden fish seemed to have accelerated.

”Little Sister Duanfei, everyone in this buddhist hall is a place to cultivate their body and nature. You can't stay here all day and all night, you must have a whole body of bad luck. This is such a great place, why not share the mountains and rivers with me? ”

Ye Shishuang walked forward, raising the woman's lower jaw with a gentle expression, his tone even calmer than before.

”Amitabha! Desire is bitterness, life and death are fatigue, starting from greed. He had no desire to do anything, but his mind and body were at ease! Empress, no matter how beautiful the river and mountains are, it has nothing to do with chenqie. This concubine has a Buddha in her heart. She only wants a place, a companion in the buddhist lamp, and a peaceful life. I hope that esteemed wangfei will stop making things difficult for chenqie. ”

The woman stopped the wooden fish in her hand and slowly opened her eyes. She was as calm as water and as beautiful as an orchid as she politely said.

Elegant and refined, with a natural light aura, delicate skin, relaxed spirit, beautiful eyes, smiling peachy cheeks, without uttering a word, like orchids, an inexhaustible gentleness and loveliness.

Duanfei Lin Shuxuan was the eldest daughter and direct descendant of the Dinghou Estate. Her grandfather's three generations were generals of the North Dingdong.

She had been on good terms with Xu Jingyao ever since she was a child. Not long after Xu Jingyao had been appointed Empress, she had been sent to the palace to sit at the head of the Fourth Consort. The journey had been smooth sailing for her.

”Difficult? What did little sister Duanfei say? I am only thinking of the person you saved with your own daughter's life ten years ago, and now he has returned. Do you think he has a chance to win? After all, he only has two months. ”

With Lin Shuxuan's weak personality, she would have been devoured into ashes a long time ago by the merciless Imperial Palace. How could she still be sitting comfortably in the seat of honor as the head of the Fourth Concubine if it wasn't for the support of the Residence of the Marquis of Beiding1 and the younger brother who was guarding the Xi Liang at the border.

It was only when Ye Shishuang thought of this that she showed mercy, especially when she was already a Prince Mo of the pro-Duke Palace.

Xi Liang still needed people like the Marquis of Beitang to protect and work hard for her.

”Esteemed empress, that child is only an innocent person. Why do you have to be so ruthless?”

Lin Shuxuan's calm face finally revealed a hint of panic, but she quickly hid it, as if it had never happened.

”Innocent people? An eight year old child actually had such astonishing internal energy, and now, it was even more so the feared Blood Fiend Hall Master. It was likely that even the state advisor may not be his match. If I don't get the map back, when the time comes, he will leave. Therefore, after being wronged for a few days and waiting for me to retrieve the map, I'll return it to my sister's pure land. ”

A fierce look hung on Ye Shishuang's beautiful face as she stared at Lin Shuxuan and said each word.

It could be seen from their previous exchanges that Jun Mohan's martial arts was definitely not inferior to Fu Lingtian's or Leng Qianqiu's. He had even reached the realm of the highest under the heavens, causing them to continuously lose.

She had always known that Duanren Emperor was that person's weak point. As long as something happened to her in Xi Liang, that person would definitely return to the Xi Liang.

It was just that she did not expect Jun Mohan to be so cunning, to come to the Xi Liang soundlessly, and throw Fu Lingtian into a cell without anyone noticing, even when she herself did not notice anything.

Right now, he could only treat Duan Ling Tian even more harshly in order to attract Jun Mohan to the Xi Liang. Without any helpers, Bai Zhixi's Southern Frontier would fall into his hands within the blink of an eye.

At that time, when the world was in chaos, she would be the one who reaped the rewards.

”Someone, it's time for esteemed wangfei to drink the medicine …”

Ye Shishuang's eyes were cold as he shouted towards the door.

Soon after, a group of palace maids walked in, the leading palace maid holding a white jade porcelain bowl filled with black medicinal liquid.

”Ye Shixue, you will die a horrible death … ”Sob, sob …”
