The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Follow Me to the End
Seeing Imperial Concubine Yan sobbing and her master Xiao Xiwei’s serious expression, Zi Yan couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. She hurriedly pushed Ye Dao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, “Hurry up and think of a way!”

Ye looked up at Zi Yan, a trace of helplessness appearing on her cold face.

He’s just an assassin, the only thing he’s good at is killing people.

“Princess, do you want to pass this news on to His Highness?” Ye looked up and whispered to Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xiwei’s eyes turned cold as her slender phoenix eyes swept towards the night with a dense chill, “No!”

She and Chu Muzhi finally managed to convince him that Xizhi was really dead. He had also evacuated quite a few of the hidden guards he had arranged in Chao An Temple, but he still left some behind. To be able to see her so smoothly without seeing any reaction from Chu Yanzhi, first, he wanted to leave some reliable people by her side, and secondly, he didn’t want to secretly probe for clues about Xizhi.

Therefore, she absolutely could not let the people Xizhi stayed by her side come into contact with Xizhi.

Absolutely not.

Imperial Concubine Yan saw Xiao Xiwei’s resolute expression and knew that she was afraid of implicating Xizhi. At the same time, she was touched and determined, “Xiwei, you don’t have to worry about this matter. Leave everything to this palace.” At this point, she raised her slender eyebrows and a sharp light flashed across her eyes. “This palace will definitely not allow anyone to dare to hurt my Tianye!”

She was already cowardly enough to turn a blind eye to his actions of hurting Xizhi. Now, she could no longer let him hurt her Tianye!

Absolutely not!

Xiao Xiwei looked at the reckless determination in Imperial Concubine Yan’s eyes, faintly carrying a hint of utter desperation. She was shocked and hurriedly said, “Imperial Concubine Mother, what do you want to do?”

Imperial Concubine Yan looked at Xiao Xiwei with a smile on the corner of her lips. She gently placed her hand on Xiao Xiwei’s hand, “Wei’er, Imperial Concubine Mother has been dreaming for half her life, and she has also been confused for half her life. Now, she finally woke up.” Take good care of yourself, take good care of Ye’er, in the future … please take good care of her. In the future, when you see Xi Zhi in the future, remember to tell him that Mother Concubine has truly let him down these past few years. In her next life, she is telling him to never be born into my belly again. “As Concubine Yan said this, a bright smile suddenly blossomed on the corner of her lips.

Xiao Xiwei’s eyes instantly lit up like fireworks, just like a flower that suddenly blossomed in the darkness of the night. However, before Xiao Xi could regain her senses, Imperial Concubine Yan had already let go of her hand and walked out.

“Mother …” Her voice suddenly choked her throat.

Xiao Xiwei looked at Imperial Concubine Yan’s back and tears fell down his cheeks.

Her absolute figure suddenly pulled her back to her previous life.

In her previous life, when Chu Yanzhi was about to ascend to the throne, she saw Imperial Concubine Yan walk out of the Chongde Palace just like she did today. Her plain white face was expressionless. She was as cold as ice on a winter lake. Her plain clothes were rustling in the wind, and her eyes were filled with numbness and despair that she had never seen before.

The next day, the palace servants discovered the corpse of Imperial Consort Yan in the ice hole in the Tai Ye Lake. In the palace, it was rumored that Imperial Concubine Yan intended to poison the Emperor, but she was defeated, so she committed suicide in fear of sin. At that time, accompanied by Bi Yun and Hong Yu, she took a look at the lake from afar. She did not see anyone beside her. She only saw Imperial Concubine Yan’s pair of clear eyes, which were tightly open. There was a gloomy aura inside.

She didn’t know if Consort Yan had poisoned the Emperor in her previous life, but she knew that Consort Yan really liked that man … How desperate was a woman to poison her lover?

A gray handkerchief quietly appeared in front of her. Xiao Xiwei raised his head and saw Night Kneeling in front of her expressionlessly holding a handkerchief and handing it to her.

His eyes were icy cold, and there was even a hint of displeasure in them.

It was hard to say for an assassin like Ye. He could sweat and bleed, but he would not shed tears. Tears were the most useless thing for an assassin.

Looking at Ye’s cold eyes, Xiao Xi woke up slightly.

Yes! How could she cry? Rather than shedding tears here, it was better to think of a way to solve the problem.

She could be reborn in a blazing fire, trample Madam Li and Xiao Xile beneath her feet, marry Xizhi who didn’t even think about it before, and even give birth to Tianye! She was no longer the Xiao Xiwei who had been hiding in a corner crying in the past!

“No need.” Xiao Xiwei took a deep breath and suppressed the tears in his eyes. Although his voice was cold, it carried an unusually resolute tone.

Right now, the most important thing was to figure out why the Emperor had suddenly made such a decision. Zhang Shichang said that the Emperor only gave Chu Yanzhi a marriage after meeting Lu Haiyang? However, he did not expect that Chu Yanzhi would actually reject his arrangement. That’s why he offered to buy a full moon wine for Tianye in the palace.

After Chu Yanzhi left for the northwest, the spy Nurse An that he left in the palace naturally handed over to Lu Haiyang. Nurse An caused her to be sent out of the palace by Chu Yanzhi after she failed. She must have seen Chu Yanzhi’s obsession with her, so she told Lu Haiyang all of this. Lu Haiyang originally hated her to the bone, and he was even more unwilling than Nurse An to let her stay by Chu Yanzhi’s side. Therefore, he hid it from Chu Yanzhi to see the Emperor. The Emperor had already had his own opinions about Chu Yanzhi’s recent arbitrary behavior in the court. Hearing Lu Haiyang’s words, he naturally became a little vigilant towards his son. This time, not only did he want to choose Gu An, who he trusted, as the Crown Prince’s wife, but he also wanted to probe Crown Prince Chu Yanzhi. He wanted to know if the Savage Monarch that he had painstakingly brought up had slowly begun to lose his respect for him. The final result confirmed the Emperor’s conjecture. The new Crown Prince, who had helped him step by step to the position of Great Yue’s Monarch in order to conspire, no longer valued him as his father after his wings had gradually become full. But even so, the Emperor still had hope for him. Otherwise, he would not give up Qin King Chu Muzhi and choose her Tianye. The reason for that was because once he chose to support Chu Muzhi, there would definitely be more people in the court who would stand on Chu Muzhi’s side. At that time, it would be a heavy blow to Chu Yanzhi, who had just been set up as the Crown Prince. He didn’t want to cripple the Crown Prince, so he could only choose her Tianye. This was because since Tianye was easy to control, he could also use his status as the Swallow King’s descendant to restrain her and the Marquis of Loyalty, as well as Elder Zhang, Xu Sheng, and the others who had once wholeheartedly supported Xizhi and now stood beside Qin King Chu Mu, could be counted in one go.

However, since the Emperor already had vigilance and suspicion towards Chu Yanzhi, it was not too difficult to provoke the relationship between the two of them.

What was ridiculous was Lu Haiyang. Back then, he only wanted to use the Emperor’s hand to force Chu Yanzhi to establish the Crown Princess, in case she might climb to that position in the future. Originally, he had expected that according to Chu Yanzhi’s dedication to the throne, Naturally, he would not refuse to marry the Crown Prince in public just after he was made the Crown Prince. However, he never thought that halfway through, he would actually kill Cheng Biting Jin. Gu Qingyou actually confessed to King Qin Chu Mu in public, causing the matter to turn around and fall out of his control. The most miscalculation was that the Emperor was actually on guard against the Crown Prince because of this.

Thinking of this, the corner of Xiao Xiwei’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Chu Yanzhi definitely didn’t know that his most trusted brother had silently stabbed him in the back. She suddenly wanted to know how he would feel if he knew that the Emperor’s suppression and restraint on him was all because of Lu Haiyang. Could it be that he still believed in Lu Haiyang like before?

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xiwei had already figured out the reason behind this. She took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at the night again. “Night, it’s cold recently. I think mother fei needs to stay in bed to recover from the cold tonight. It’s not suitable for her to walk …”

“Yes.”

As soon as Xiao Xiwei finished speaking, Ye’s voice rang out.

He didn’t ask the reason, only followed it.

Xiao Xi looked at Ye, the smile on her lips lightening up a bit. “Remember, don’t hurt mother’s body.”

“Yes.” Ye replied once again, and then his figure flickered.

In the blink of an eye, there was no sign of him in the room.

“Princess, what do you mean by what you said to Ye?” Bi Yun couldn’t help but ask Xiao Xiwei.

Xiao Xiwei did not say anything. She only supported Bi Yun’s hand and stood up. She lifted her foot and slowly walked into the inner room.

In the inner room, Hong Yu reached down to tuck in the quilt for Chu Tianye, who was sleeping in the cradle. Seeing Xiao Xiwei enter, he hurriedly got up and took a step back, blessing her.

Xiao Xiwei walked to Chu Tianye and half squatted down. She stretched out her hand and caressed Chu Tianye’s still somewhat skinny little face lovingly. At this time, the baby suddenly pursed her lips. In an instant, Xiao Xiwei’s tears were like a river that had broken through a levee, and her eyes gushed out of her sockets.

“Ye’er … Ye’er, don’t be afraid. Mother will protect you.”

Mother will definitely protect you!

No matter who wants to harm you, Mother will kill them at all costs!

The determination in his eyes gradually replaced the tears in his eyes. Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Tianye, who was in his infancy, and his voice suddenly sounded faintly, “Shouldn’t the sky be bright now?”

Bi Yun turned around and looked out of the window, then said, “It’s already the end of time. It should be dawn in a while.”

Xiao Xi curled her lips slightly and said, “Go pack up and salute. We will return to the palace at dawn.”

“Return to the palace?” Bi Yun was dumbfounded. She looked at Xiao Xiwei and did not recall what Xiao Xiwei meant by this for a long time.

Hongyu only looked at Xiao Xiwei, then blessed her and said, “Yes.” After saying that, she began to prepare to pack her bows.

Zi Yan frowned when she saw that Hongyu had made a move. Although she was a little worried, she still walked over to help Hongyu pack her things.

Seeing that Hong Yu and Zi Yan were busy reconciling in the room, Bi Yun was infuriated. “Princess, your month is not full yet? How can you leave the palace? Why don’t you wait a few more days? The people sent by the Emperor to pick you up and the Little Prince didn’t say that they had to come back tomorrow morning?”

Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Tianye, whose eyes were still very sweet, and the corner of his lips curled up slightly. “Do you think that I can still dodge this matter until now?”

Even if she can get away with it? Then her Ye’er?

Since she couldn’t hide no matter what, then she didn’t need to hide anymore!

She didn’t care what awaited them in front of her, but as long as she was still alive, then no one could harm his Ye’er!

If you want to play, then I, Xiao Xiwei, will definitely accompany you to the end!
