In the silent Imperial Palace, the palace maids had long since retreated, leaving only a few clusters of candlelight burning like blazing suns on the verge of collapse under the urging of the bright wind.

Ye Shishuang lied on top of the imperial concubine's shack and closed his eyes to rest. The past was like the wind, going back and forth in his mind, but he still couldn't get rid of it.

Suddenly, the fragrance of plum blossoms wafted into her nose. The candlelight in the room dimmed a bit, and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes appeared by her side.

”You finally came.”

Ye Shishuang slowly opened her fluttering eyelashes. Her tone was neither salt nor light, as if she had known this beforehand.

”Isn't this what you were expecting, aunt?”

Bai Zhixi indifferently replied as he sat down on a chair to the side.

Lifting his eyes, he looked at Ye Shishuang lazily lying on the low collapse like a noble and elegant Persian cat.

This female crowd was so large that no one dared to underestimate them. No wonder they were able to dominate the harem.

”Since Xi Er has said this, Aunt can just take it as you praising me. Tsk tsk, I never thought that you would actually look identical to my ancestor. No wonder you possess the physique of a Phoenixis Maiden that is rarely seen in a hundred years. ”

Ye Shishuang walked in front of her, held her head up and observed carefully. Her eyes that were as clear as fresh water were imprinted with the reflection of Bai Zhixi. The seductive red plum blossomed seductively between her brows, giving her a few traces of charm.

Wasn't this nonsense? The phoenix bead sound was from her mother, so she definitely looked the same.

Bai Zhixi had a smile on his face, but in his heart, he could not help but scold Ye Shishuang.

”Xi Er, let's not beat around the bush, Aunt needs blood bead to help me unify the world, and complete our responsibilities as the Phoenixis Maiden. I believe Xi Er will give me the blood bead for the mission the Phoenixis Maiden, right?”

Ye Shishuang intimately pulled her, her laughter was sweet, and her words revealed the righteousness of her being a nation and its people.

Bai Zhixi quietly listened to Ye Shishuang talking about her great plans, her clear eyes filled with a faint smile, both respect and ridicule.

However, she had to admit that Ye Shishuang was indeed a miraculous girl. It was just that she was extremely ambitious and wished to swallow the world whole.

”Aunt, a woman is weak, but a mother is strong. I know you want to find a path for your cousin. Now that you are the empress of a nation and cousin brother Ye is also the crown prince of a nation of Xi Liang, it is natural for you to assume the throne. As for the competition of the world, it was a competition of strength. If cousin relies on you to rule the world, and wait a hundred years for you to return to the West, will cousin cousin be able to resist the enemies that you have killed? ”

It was known to the world that the empress of Xi Liang was a cruel, merciless, and extraordinary woman. But her son, Mo Feiye, was a genuine popinjay.

All of the more beautiful daughters of the Shangguan family were given by Ye Shishuang to Mo Feiye to be his concubines. Mo Feiye, on the other hand, did not see the popinjay who did not change. He was ruthless and merciless.

The young ladies of the Shangguan family who were forced to leave would be tortured to death by him if they showed even the slightest sign of not wanting to in front of the heavens.

When Mo Feiye was mentioned, the citizens of Phoenix City dared not to speak out in anger, and could only obediently endure his persecution.

”Impudent, you dare to talk about our Crown Prince. Do you know how miserable your mother was when she died? That's something you can't imagine. Also, you better obediently hand over the blood bead. If he was caught by Hua Wuxie and the others, they had to know that Hua Wuxie was lacking a body. Could it be that you want to see Hua Wuxie and Jun Mohan getting intimate with each other? Xi Er, Aunt's actions are all for your sake. ”

Ye Shishuang was unable to contain her rage, her eyes blazing with fire, her long jade hands grabbing onto Bai Zhixi's lower jaw, she coldly said.

Bai Zhixi knew that this woman in front of him had to keep her word. And what Hua Wuxie wanted was her, blood bead and her body were probably both his.

”Didn't Aunt know? The blood bead had already been taken out by me to save Jun Mohan. How can I be a Phoenixis Maiden without a blood bead? ”

Bai Zhixi raised his head, his face pale and powerless as bean-sized sweat flowed down his ears, drop by drop, in an attempt to divert Ye Shishuang's attention.

Ye Shishuang had actually left a Hundred Days of fragrances in the room, a type of poison that could draw out Phoenixis Maiden's blood bead. The infected people had to strip the blood bead off their body within a hundred days, otherwise, they would die from the destruction of the bead.

She thought that no matter how vicious Ye Shishuang was, he would still act on account of their kinship and wait for her consideration. Unexpectedly, her goal was not the blood bead, but to kill her.

At that time, with her blood, the blood bead's spirit energy would be opened and everything in the world would be in her hands.

Her head felt dizzy as she looked at Ye Shishuang, who was becoming more and more blurry. It was as if she was being bitten by ants in her heart, causing her entire body to tremble in pain.

”Xi Er, Aunt said that as long as you obediently took out the blood bead, Aunt would leave you with an intact corpse. Remember at all times, do you have the lives of hundreds of millions of citizens in Southern Frontier in your hands? Could it be that you have the heart to just watch as they are mercilessly massacred? ”

Even when Bai Zhixi was in a daze, he could still hear Ye Shishuang's bloodthirsty voice tapping on her heartstrings.

Yeah, she can't die yet, she still wants to retrieve the Southern Frontier's Imperial Jade Seal.

”I promise you!”

Bai Zhixi grabbed Ye Shishuang's hand, endured the stinging pain on his body, gritted his teeth, and asked while trembling.

”That's more like it!”

Ye Shishuang held her shoulders and held an exquisite little porcelain bottle close to her nose. A sweet smell entered her nose, waking every cell in her body.

That powerless yet fiery headache disappeared without a trace, and he became extremely clear-headed.
