C16 Step by Step

In the middle of the night, after Feng Jing Yi finished all the things in her hands, she took out the jade bottle and went to the Jade Flower Pavilion.

Actually, she didn't need to come here so early to guard. It was just that if she didn't come early, she would be splashed with cold water from the head palace maid's bed and then rushed over. Thus, she decided to be more self-aware.

Feng Jingyi wrapped her cloak around herself as she curled into a corner of the pavilion, tightly holding the purse in her hands as she said to herself, "We will return. One day, we will return. Return to our Southern Tang Dynasty."

Every day, she told herself this, but without him around her, every step she took was extremely difficult. She didn't know if she could last until the day she returned.

After a day of hard work, she curled up in the pavilion and quickly fell asleep. Her breathing was blurry as she breathed in and out with a warm smell of alcohol. When she lifted her eyes, she saw the man dressed in black clothing in the morning squatting in front of her.

"It's you again?" Feng Jing Yi raised his eyebrows in annoyance.

The man stood up and sat down by the stone table. He poured himself a cup of wine and said, "I was just thinking that you might come over, so you really did come over."

Feng Jingyi couldn't be bothered with him, she pulled on the cloak covering her body, closed her eyes and continued sleeping.

"You dare to sleep like this, aren't you too confident in me?" The man laughed lowly and pointed.

"If you really had that kind of intention, you wouldn't have let me off in the south Tang Dynasty." Feng Jingyi said with her eyes closed.

This kind of arrogant man loved to play Conquest games, taking over her body and even wanting to take over her heart. That was why he was playing cat and mouse with her.

Even if he really wanted to do something to her, with her current identity, what could she do to him?

The man drank a cup of wine, looked at the woman who was resting with her eyes closed, and said, "Is there nowhere for you to sleep at Guanju Palace?"

"There is, but I must guard this place and gather fresh dew for your noble Imperial Concubine to wash her face." Feng Jingyi said without opening her eyes.

"You don't want to leave that place?" the man asked with a smile.

"After saying so much, didn't you want me to seduce you again?" Feng Jing Yi snorted and said.

She really didn't understand. Beautiful women were everywhere in the Da Xia Empire, and with this man's status and power, he just didn't want to let go of a little palace maid.

"If you follow me, at least you won't have to hide here every day to sleep. What's wrong with that?" The man leaned his head on one hand and looked at her with a deep smile.

"I like it. No need to trouble you." Feng Jing Yi refused.

The man finished the pot of wine in one gulp, got up and squatted in front of her. His voice was gentle yet cold, "Susu, not everyone in this palace can tolerate you like me, do you understand?"

Feng Jingyi opened her eyes and looked straight at him, then she sneered, "Should I thank you for your kindness?"

"My patience is limited. If I come back in a month and you still are like this, I don't mind greeting your father or those close friends of yours. It would be easy for them to die or to live in the Grand Xia." The man ran his hand through her hair, which was tousled by the wind, then disappeared into the night.

Feng Jingyi clenched her teeth. She hated the feeling of being controlled by someone. Fu Jinhuang was already giving her a headache, and this person was pushing her too hard. How was she going to continue on in the future?
