Zhao Yuqi's phoenix eyes suddenly contracted. She angrily pinched her chin and maliciously said: "You are the first person who dares to speak to me in such a manner. "You heartless ingrate, don't you think that I almost charged into the palace to steal the imperial physician for you, and even took care of you for a whole day and night without taking off your clothes? I truly don't know the least bit of gratitude."
"I did not allow you to do so. If you are displeased, I will leave." Feng Feixuan frowned in displeasure and resolutely wanted to get off the bed. Her stubborn nature made her completely forget that she might be targeted by the bronze masked man the moment she left the room.
And in this world, there was no place for her at all.
However, as a person who had experienced two lifetimes, she no longer knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Even more so, this Prince Zhao was not someone who was easy to deal with. What he had done for her, if he didn't ask for anything in return, she wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death.
Whether it was because he coveted her body's beauty, or because he took a fancy to the ring on her hand, or for some other unknown reason, according to Feng Feixuan's judgement, the depths of his eyes were deep and sinister. He would absolutely not be as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Zhao Yuqi sneered and didn't step forward to stop him, instead saying sarcastically, "Go? Do you know that you've been poisoned by the Worryfree Grass, and even the best imperial physician in Jingguo is unable to cure you? Do you know who the enemy is behind you? If we go out now, you will die. "
Feng Feixuan was stunned and stopped in her tracks.
Jingguo? Feng Feixuan, who was familiar with the five thousand years of history, quickly thought, there isn't a country like this.
Yes, if they were to leave now, there was only death. In fact, who didn't have a purpose? She was also looking for a place to shelter. As for the Crown Prince's Palace, it was undoubtedly the safest place besides the palace.
"Don't be so noble. I do not lack women, but you have no choice." Zhao Yuqi could already see her hesitation, so she added fuel to the fire.
Feng Feixuan quickly turned her head and coldly stared at him. There was only indifference in those stubborn eyes, not even the slightest bit of fear, as if this body wasn't hers at all and had nothing to do with life and death.
She smiled faintly, her eyes filled with sadness. It was the pain of separation, the fearless resolution. This caused Zhao Yuqi to freeze. She thought of her dream of calling out to him. She wanted to know just what kind of disaster she had experienced.
Such a showdown was extremely torturous.
"Forget it, before you recover from your illness, I promise not to touch you or threaten you for anything. If An Xin stays to recuperate, I will find someone to cure you. " In the end, he still couldn't hold it in anymore and broke the silence. Frustrated, he took a step back.
This woman was so tough that it gave him a headache.
Feng Feixuan let out a breath of relief, tiredly closed her eyes, and fell onto the bed.
"He really is holding on." Zhao Yuqi helplessly grabbed her body from behind her, causing her to feel faint. She laid her body flat and carefully opened her mouth, "The 'mother' that you called out to in your dreams last night, is it your mother? You're called Little Xuan? Fang Xiaoxuan? "
Feng Feixuan closed her eyes to rest, but she did not open her mouth to deny it. In her heart, however, she resented herself. When had her mind ever become so unstable that she could talk in her sleep? This was a taboo of a soldier. If they were captured and destroyed, their minds would be shaken and their military secrets revealed. That would be betrayal.
"Xuan'er …" Zhao Yuqi's shout was unexpectedly loud and clear. As the Crown Prince, he really was born to be an expert. But a knock on the door interrupted his words.
"Come in." In the blink of an eye, he had changed again. He was cold and composed, and a trace of imposing manner suffused his eyes.
A tall and powerful figure behind the curtain held his sword in both hands and spoke while bowing: "Your Highness, this subordinate has something to report."
Zhao Yuqi stood up and asked, "Ruofeng, have you found the whereabouts of the Ghost Valley? Just say it. "You should listen to me too. For the sake of this poison today, the only thing that can cure it is the Ghost Valley Zi who concocted it."
The last sentence was obviously said to Feng Feixuan who was pretending to be asleep on the bed.
Hearing Zhao Yuqi's words, Zheng Ruifeng no longer had any scruples. He opened his mouth and spoke in a mellow voice, "Yes, Your Highness. Your subordinate has just received precise information that the Ghost Valley's Senior's Ghost Valley is on top of the mountain, below the mountain. It's near Handan County. "
"Handan? Isn't that Seventh Brother's fiefdom? Where did the news come from? " Zhao Yuqi's eyes slightly narrowed as she cautiously asked.
"Exactly. Seventh Prince was born free, free, loyal, and friendly, which was probably why he was able to live so peacefully in Handan. The news is from a good friend of mine in Jianghu. He went through countless hardships to request medicine for his wife in Ghost Hell Valley. It is reliable. " Zheng Rufeng became even more respectful. When he spoke of Seventh Prince, his tone carried a trace of admiration.
Zheng Ruofeng's footsteps were calm and steady, his breathing was at ease. His voice was mellow and his confidence was heavy. With a wave of his hand, he caused the airflow around him to revolve, as if he was the ruler. Feng Feixuan could tell at a glance that this person's martial arts were extraordinary, and having experienced Zhao Yuqi's power before, she was even more certain that this crown prince's residence was hiding dragons and crouching tigers.
To be able to obtain the appreciation of this man, this Seventh Marquis was probably not an ordinary person. As for Zhao Yuqi, who had received his allegiance, there was no need to even mention her.
"In the few days I've been away, has Seventh Brother ever left the capital?" Zhao Yuqi's nature was suspicious. He couldn't tolerate someone scheming under his watch, even if they were brothers.
Zheng Ruofeng was surprised for a moment, then immediately said with certainty, "No. According to this subordinate's knowledge, Seventh Prince has stayed in the Agarwood Courtyard almost every day for the past half month, and has been playing with Lady Furong every night." He did not expect His Highness to suspect the Seventh Prince. Everyone in the capital knew that the Seventh Prince was a free, easy, and open-minded person who only knew about the matters of the wind and moon, regardless of politics. He was a well-deserved rake.
Such a person wouldn't even bother to participate in a political battle, right?
"This popinjay really lacks the dignity of a imperial family." Although she said this, Zhao Yuqi's sunken face clearly became a little more amiable. He pondered for a moment, waved his wide sleeve, and decided, "You, leave early tomorrow morning to go to the Handan to get medicine. Her poison cannot be delayed any longer. "
Zheng Rufeng secretly let out a breath of relief, bowed and said: "Yes, Ruofeng accepts the order. "Don't worry, your majesty, your subordinate won't disappoint you."
Bright candles of dragons and phoenixes slowly burned, engulfing the darkness of the night. Under the candlelight, Zhao Yuqi's slender figure looked out the window at the starry sky, deep in thought.
He suddenly turned around and found that the woman on the bed had fallen asleep again. Seeing her dignified appearance and her devastatingly beautiful appearance, she did not resemble the demure gentleness of the woman in the room. She was calm, wise, cold, and unruly, impressive. He was stubborn, tenacious, and had an open-minded disposition that transcended life and death. He was not one bit inferior to the iron-blooded man on the battlefield.
This woman was truly a mystery.
A trace of white emerged from the horizon. Zhao Yuqi hadn't slept for the entire night.
Outside the door, Zhang Zhengguo's shrill voice carefully reminded him, "Your Highness, it's time to enter the palace and see His Majesty." It had been a day and a night since he returned to the capital, and he still had not gone to the palace to see her.
