I had my breakfast before coming here."
Feng Lingxi nodded. This night, Mei made people look at her and couldn't believe she was a killer. Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would be the deputy mistress of Tiangxiang Building, her hands stained with blood
After breakfast, Duguyan was still not here. Feng Lingxi ordered Xiaoli to call him. It was indeed very rare for Duguyan to be this late getting up.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, forgive my bluntness. Today when Mei'er came, was there truly no confusion in your heart"
"I don't know what Meili means by that. Why should I be doubtful"
Ye Mei admired Feng Ling Xi's calmness and generosity.
She considered herself a seasoned veteran when it came to women, but the feeling she got from the Crown Princess was different.
When a woman like her comes knocking, how many wives wouldn't worry that she and their husbands might have an affair But there was no such thing in Feng Lingxi's eyes.
She observed for a long time, not even a hint of questioning in her eyes. This openness was as if her charm had vanished completely.
Ye Mei smiled, her eyes holding no malice.
“I’m just curious, every time I appeared at someone else’s door before, those wives would ask me and their husbands if we had an improper relationship. Some even swore at me, calling me a fox spirit who seduced their husbands. But the Princess Consort treated me like a guest.”
"You're a guest here anyway, someone from Dugu City. I trust him; I believe in his character. If he were truly that kind of man, you would have known him better than I do. If he had intentions, there wouldn't be an opportunity for me."
She still remembered how Dugu City had taken advantage of her because she was his first woman, and he sought revenge by forcing the previous emperor to marry them as a way for her to "remain widowed." She hadn't forgotten this.
"The Crown Princess is indeed different from other women. Perhaps that's why the poster has a fondness for the Princess. However, Meicai dares to remind Your Highness, no matter how much this poster may like you, he is still a man. If there is some unforeseen circumstance, it would be difficult for him to control himself."
"Night Demon!"
A cold voice echoed, the smile instantly vanished from Ye Mei's face, replaced by reverence as she knelt on one knee.
"Ye Mei has met the host."
Feng Ling Xi hadn't yet understood Ye Mei's words when she was startled by Du Gu Cheng's sudden, cold voice. What had gotten into Du Gu Cheng just now
What did Mei say about some kind of unexpected situation this night
Could it really be like this in Dugu City
"What did you just say"
"What do you want from me" said Dugu Cheng in a cold voice.
The cold tone, devoid of any warmth, was a stark contrast to his usual gentle demeanor towards Feng Lingxi.
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, but he didn't look at her. Instead, he glared at Ye Mei with a cold face, as if she hadn't explained herself and had to die. That sharp, cold and merciless gaze made Feng Lingxi feel strange even when looking at it.
Is this really the Dugu City she knows
"Replying to the original poster, Ye Mei's purpose for this journey is regarding a matter in the Xia Dynasty."
"Said."
Yè Mèi glanced at Fēng Língxī once, Fēng Língxī was puzzled, suddenly a "ding" sound in her ear, Yè Mèi covered her arm, let out a muffled grunt, her face pale.
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng in astonishment, wondering how he had done it.
"In the scorching summer morning, Emperor Huai's Light Cloud found his subordinate and wanted him to help kill his princess."
"How much gold"
Feng Lingxi was shocked to hear that Huangfu Qingyun had hired someone to kill her, but knowing he had amnesia, all that remained was curiosity about her current worth.
"Princess Consort of the Chen Family"
Ye Mei looked at Feng Lingxi in astonishment, swallowed nervously, and caught a glimpse of Dugu Cheng's icy gaze. She hurriedly replied, "One hundred thousand gold."
"Didn't the price go up"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "Then will you accept it"
Everyone wants to kill her for ten thousand gold, Feng Lingxi was puzzled, where did they get the money, isn't ten thousand gold a lot
"No."
Although Dugu City's voice was cold, it wasn't the same as Ye Mei's. He looked at Feng Lingxi's furrowed brows and said, "No price increase, no deal."
Feng Lingxi nodded in agreement, "It's too low. You need to raise the price to accept."
Ye Mei almost fainted when she heard their words.
"Host, is it really necessary to raise the price"
獨孤城 coldly scanned across, Ye Mei hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Feng Lingxi walked to the side and sat down, watching the way Dugu City and Ye Mei interacted. Suddenly, she felt that the Dugu City in front of her was truly a stranger.
This icy expression, radiating killing intent all over his body, even a single glance could make one feel the breath of death. No wonder Ye Mei couldn't have any feelings for Dugu City.
"Her life, no one can buy. Let it be known, anyone in the Jianghu who dares to take this job behind my back is against Tianxiang Lou, including Luo Li."
"At your command."
Ye Mei knelt, but did not dare to rise.
"Anything else"
Ye Mei raised her eyes to look at Feng Ling Xi, and softly said, "There is one more thing, I would like to tell the Princess Consort of Chen."
Dugu Cheng stared at Ye Mei, "Is there something you can't tell this king"
"Ye Mei hurriedly explained, "It's about the Crown Princess of Chen. Recently, a subordinate heard someone talking about the Crown Princess from a guest, saying that someone was eyeing the Crown Princess."
"Such matters, need to inform Your Lordship"
Dugu City's voice grew colder, and the killing intent emanating from his body seemed like a gust of wind blowing past. Ye Mei was so frightened that her face turned pale, and all traces of color vanished.
"That person is from the Yao clan. My subordinate fears that Consort Chen will be troubled, so I respectfully inquire about it."
Feng Ling Xi heard about the Yao clan, hurriedly walked over and helped Ye Mei get up.
"Get up and speak to me."
Ye Mei did not dare to get up. Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng, “She is looking for me, you go and do your business first, don't stay here.”
Dugu Cheng glanced at Ye Mei, his cold eyes sent shivers down her spine. Just because of what she had said, the master of the building showed killing intent.
"I'm going out for a bit," she said, "and then you can leave."
Dugu Cheng and Feng Lingxi's tone when speaking was much softer, although it lacked the gentleness of usual days, it was different from just now.
Feng Ling quickly pulled Ye Mei up.
"Come on, you're shaken up. But he was pretty scary just now."
Ye Mei's face remained pale. "The master has always been like this. It was Ye Mei who spoke wrongly and angered the master, deserving punishment." As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Mei didn't know when a dagger appeared in her hand, and she slashed at her own arm. Fresh blood gushed out, frightening Feng Ling Xi.
"What are you doing"
"This is the fault of my subordinates, they deserve to be punished."
Feng Lingxi watched Ye Mei, whose eyebrows didn't even twitch. Was this how Dugu Cheng had always treated his subordinates
This is too ruthless, isn't it
Taking a look at Ye Mei's wounds, this was truly not holding back at all, and there was no mercy in their attack.
"This is your hand, this is how you cut it, in this cold weather, it will take at least ten or half a month to heal."
Yè mèi tore down her skirt hem and wrapped it around her wound, her movements practiced, as if she did this often.use it again Don't you think that's being overly foolish"Feng Lingxi turned around to face Yao Zhi. The confidence in her eyes made Yao Zhi stare at her in disbelief.What did you do to meThe clansmen...
