The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Virtual Snake
Chu Yanzhi had never seen such a charming and tactful Xiao Xiwei before. Like a flower blooming in the darkness of the night, Wu Li was incomparably beautiful, making people want a kiss of fragrance.

Therefore, he smiled, and there was a hint of perfection in his smile.

He knew that as long as he, Chu Yanzhi, wanted it, he would definitely be able to obtain it, even Xiao Xiwei.

So what if she refused? Now, wasn’t he going to smile in front of him?

Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi’s heart couldn’t help but feel a little relaxed.

“Judging from His Highness’ appearance, I don’t think he believes me anymore.”

Seeing Chu Yanzhi’s expression, Xiao Xiwei could not tell what he was thinking. Although there was a smile on his face, waves of disgust surged out of his heart.

“If you don’t tell me, how do you know that I won’t believe you?” Chu Yanzhi suddenly reached out and held Xiao Xiwei in his arms. The corners of his thin lips almost touched Xiao Xiwei’s fair face.

In an instant, countless complex emotions of disgust and anger swiftly flashed through Xiao Xiwei’s pair of pure phoenix eyes, but in the blink of an eye, they dissipated completely.

The corner of his lips curled into a charming smile, “But is His Highness willing to say that after listening to my words?”

Although the beauty in front of him was charming and domineering, the strange light flowing in her eyes made him gradually calm down. Thinking about the Emperor’s expression just now in Zi Chen Hall, Chu Yanzhi finally let go of Xiao Xiwei’s hand and took a step back.

“I told the Emperor that compared to Tian Ye, I am more suitable to restrain His Highness the Crown Prince.” Xiao Xiwei looked up at Chu Yanzhi, the light in her clear phoenix eyes flowing, but what she said made Chu Yanzhi’s heart suddenly cold. Then, before she could finish her sentence, she said, “I also told the Emperor that the future master of the Grand Yue Mountain should be Tian Ye.”

“You” After hearing Xiao Xiwei’s words, Chu Yanzhi almost burst into rage. However, when he saw Xiao Xiwei’s charming appearance, even though his chest was filled with rage, he still forcefully endured it and did not explode.

“Does Your Highness still believe in me?” Seeing Chu Yanzhi’s expression, Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes and smiled sweetly.

This kind of Xiao Xiwei was too Wu Li. For a moment, Chu Yanzhi felt as if he had been sucked into her mind, and the rage in his chest had strangely dissipated.

If a smart person like her really had such thoughts, how could she say it in front of him?

Thinking of this, Chu Yan’s heart couldn’t help but relax. A smile appeared on his face, “Xiwei, what did you make this palace believe? Do you believe what you said to your father in the Revered Virtue Palace Hall? Or, do you believe that your words actually have a deeper meaning?”

Xiao Xi slightly pursed the corners of her lips. Then, she took a step closer to Chu Yanzhi. Her slender, snow-white fingers slowly touched Chu Yanzhi’s chest. Her lips slightly opened, and a soft voice slowly overflowed from her lips. “If I said that I was actually doing this for the Crown Prince’s sake, does His Highness believe me or not?” As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xi slightly raised her phoenix eyes and raised her head to look at Chu Yanzhi. The smile at the corner of her lips suddenly bloomed like a flash in the night.

In that instant, it was as if all the beautiful scenery in the world was blooming in front of his eyes. He could even smell the alluring fragrance of flowers wrapped around the tip of his nose.

His chest couldn’t help but beat violently.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Seeing Chu Yanzhi’s infatuated and shocked appearance, Xiao Xi smiled slightly. Then, he took a step back and slowly withdrew the hand that was placed on Chu Yanzhi’s chest. “I guess His Highness believes in me.”

When the slender hand left his chest, he felt somewhat disappointed.

Chu Yanzhi looked down at Xiao Xiwei and smiled indifferently. “Oh, how can I see it?”

“Your Highness has already agreed to help me send Tian Ye out of the palace, so how can you believe that this concubine, Xiao Hui, would think that the Great Yue River Mountain would fall into Tian Ye’s hands?” Xiao Xiwei smiled.

Chu Yanzhi’s eyes widened.

Indeed, the only way for Xiao Xiwei to get Chu Tianye out of the palace was to defraud him to death. Since he was already’dead ‘, how could he compete with him? Therefore, she was also using this method to force him to help her.

“Tian Ye is truly fortunate to have a mother like you who plans for him everywhere.” Chu Yanzhi held the corner of his mouth and said indifferently.

However, was the truth really as she had said? Did she really just want him to help him get Chu Tianye out of the palace? Although she had played down the conversation between the Chongde Palace and the Emperor, he could still recall the tension in the Chongde Palace just from the two points that she had said. For the sake of Chu Tianye, she dared to risk her life and confront the Emperor? Really, just to get Chu Tianye out of the palace? Or did she actually have other plans?

If it was a woman beside him, he wouldn’t think too much about it, but the woman standing in front of him was Xiao Xiwei!

How could Xiao Xiwei not guess Chu Yanzhi’s thoughts?

No matter how much he liked her, as long as it was related to his interests, he would never trust her completely.

This was the biggest difference between him and Xizhi.

In fact, she had seen through many things in her life. Regardless of whether it was Chu Yanzhi or Xizhi, they had no choice but to fight for this position even if they were unwilling. Therefore, what Chu Yanzhi had done to her in her previous life was only to increase the chips in her hands in order to fight for the throne. Wishfully, she thought that those frolicking was the so-called love? After that, apart from Chu Yanzhi’s ruthless revolt, she could only blame her for not recognizing people. Therefore, even though she hated him, she did not blame him.

However, today, despite the previous factors, the love he spoke of was still filled with suspicion.

She couldn’t help but wonder, did this man know what love was?

Or did he ever love anyone other than himself?

“As a mother, you are stronger. Your Highness is not a mother. Naturally, you will not understand how far a mother can go for her own child.” Xiao Xiwei looked at Chu Yanzhi. At this moment, a trace of enduring water appeared in his originally charming eyes.

Mother is strong.

At this moment, Chu Yanzhi felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle. He suddenly thought of his mother.

Even when she was dying, she still tried her best to keep him by her side …

“Perhaps His Highness will not believe these words. As a mother, I don’t want Tian Ye to be involved in this whirlpool. I have personally bet that Xizhi will die for this and don’t want his son to repeat the same mistake. “If possible, I just want him to grow up in peace somewhere. I never know how dark and bloody this path of seizing the first wife is, even if he can only be an ordinary person.”

Perhaps it was because Xiao Xiwei’s eyes were too sincere and sad when he said those words. In that instant, Chu Yanzhi almost believed her words.

“Xi Wei, is there a smarter woman in this world than you?” Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei. He raised his hand and caressed Xiao Xiwei’s white and flawless cheek. His voice sounded low, “If this palace really did as you wish, and you don’t have any worries about the future, how would you deal with this palace? It must be that you love Chu Xizhi so wholeheartedly, knowing that he died at this palace’s hands? How do you want to avenge him? Hmm?”

Xiao Xiwei couldn’t help but tremble slightly from the rough touch of her fingers rubbing her cheeks. She lowered her eyes, and her slender and thick eyelashes concealed the disgust in her eyes. “Even if Tian Ye left the palace, he is still under your control. So, in order to let him live well, does Your Highness think that I will do something that angers Your Highness?” “As for Xiao Xiwei …” Xiao Xiwei suddenly smiled and looked at Chu Yanzhi. “Your Highness, do you think I will compensate all of the Marquis of Loyalty for a dead person?”

Chu Yanzhi rubbed Xiao Xiwei’s cheek and paused. His dark eyes stared motionlessly at Xiao Xiwei’s eyes, and his burning gaze seemed to pierce through her.

He had to admit that her words were very convincing.

Even if Chu Tianye left the palace and went to Wu City, as long as he was alive, he would still be held in his palm. Even if he was alive, he could become the weakness of Xiao Xiwei.

As for Chu Xizhi …

“Xi Wei, do you think I should trust you?” Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei and smiled again.

“The deceased is over. Although I am angry, I am only an ordinary woman in the end.” Xiao Xiwei lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. Immediately after, she raised her hand and slowly held the hand that Chu Yanzhi was stroking her cheek. Her eyes were gentle, and the corners of her lips curled into a charming smile. “Compared to these, I want to know more if the promise that His Highness made that day still counts?”

A smile slowly crept up from the corner of his lips.

That’s why.

He knew that no woman in the world would reject his offer.

Even Xiao Xiwei couldn’t.

Chu Yanzhi slowly lowered his head, his cold lips ambiguously sticking to Xiao Xiwei’s ears, and a warm aura rushed straight into her ears. “Of course it counts. The position next to this palace will forever be left to you. In this way, you will be satisfied.”

Xiao Xiwei smiled sweetly. He suddenly let go of Chu Yanzhi’s hand and took a few steps back. “I hope that His Highness will abide by his promise to me today. Once Tian Ye leaves the palace, the Emperor will secretly support His Highness Prince Qin. If His Highness needs it, I will volunteer to do my best for His Highness.” After saying that, she lowered her eyes to look at Chu Yanzhi and blessed herself. Then, she turned around and left.

“Xiwei” Chu Yanzhi’s heart was rippled by Xiao Xiwei’s smile before he left, and he couldn’t help but call out.

Xiao Xi stopped and turned around.

A faint sky light struck her body, and the purple jade plum blossom hairpin on her head gently swayed, causing her face to be shocked to the heavens.

“Your Highness, do you have anything else to do?” The smile on Xiao Xiwei’s lips flickered.

“That day … you told me that you trusted someone wholeheartedly, but he set a fire … I want to know, who is that person?” Chu Yanzhi heard his slightly trembling voice, “As far as I know, Zhongyong Marquis Mansion did not lose his fire, and you have never been burned by the fire …”

The smile on Xiao Xiwei’s lips seemed to be frozen, and it immediately condensed. Even her originally smiling eyes were gradually replaced by grief and resentment. After a long time, her voice slowly rang out, “Your Highness will not want to know who that person is …” With that, she turned around and left.

The broad horn of his robe drew a sharp arc in the air. Chu Yanzhi suddenly felt that something had fiercely stabbed into his heart somewhere.
