The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Brotherhood Break
When Lu Haiyang arrived, Chu Yanzhi was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in a brocade robe with black embroidered dragon patterns. Although it was already spring, the wind in the middle of the lake still carried a trace of coldness. He frowned, walked to his side and poured himself a glass of wine. “Your Majesty should be married by this time tomorrow,” he said.

Chu Yanzhi raised his eyes to look at Lu Haiyang, but he did not clash his glasses with him.

However, Lu Haiyang didn’t care and drank all the wine in his cup. “What, Your Highness doesn’t seem happy?”

Chu Yanzhi picked up his glass and shook it, “I forgot to congratulate you on having a precious son.”

Recalling Xiao Xichun’s cold and contemptuous gaze, Lu Haiyang’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a trace of condensation. “Speaking of which, I would like to thank His Highness for bringing Song Imperial doctor over.”

Chu Yan smiled and didn’t answer him, but he said, “From what I see, you don’t seem to be very happy. Hai Yang, what exactly do you think of your wife?”

“Your Highness, why are you asking this?” Lu Haiyang frowned.

Chu Yanzhi lowered his head and took a sip of the wine. As soon as the wine entered his throat, he instantly lit a fire in his chest, which also burned his suppressed emotions. “If you don’t like her, then let her go.”

“Your Highness, what do you mean?” Lu Haiyang suddenly stood up. Just as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly sank as if he had thought of something. “It’s Xiao Xiwei, isn’t it Xiao Xiwei?”

Chu Yanzhi’s expression suddenly sank as he placed the wine cup heavily on the table. The mellow wine swayed in the glass, and a lot of it splashed out, flowing down the edge of the stone table bit by bit. “Hai Yang, have you completely forgotten what I said to you? Is Xiao Xiwei’s name something you can call?” Chu Yanzhi stared coldly at Lu Haiyang and said.

In fact, Xiao Xiwei did not say much about him and Xiao Xichun. However, when she was about to step into the carriage to the west of the city, she suddenly turned to look at him sadly. She said, Your Highness, if you really marry the Crown Princess, please treat her well. Don’t let her be trapped like her sister by a man who doesn’t love her for the rest of her life. Even death is a luxury. At that moment, he suddenly had a feeling that perhaps she would never belong to him again …

“Your Highness, this woman’s schemes are far beyond your imagination? She actually knew the truth about King Ning’s death early in the morning, but she wanted to avenge King Ning by staying by your side! She and King Qin did not break off at all, so they worked together to show you everything!” Lu Haiyang stared into Chu Yanzhi’s eyes and couldn’t help but shout,

Chu Yanzhi stared at Lu Haiyang, and a hostile aura gradually condensed in his eyes. “Do you think that anyone can fool me …”

If Xiao Xiwei really colluded with King Qin, then she would not have left yesterday.

Your Highness, they all say I’m smart, but I think I’m stupid. There are some things that I know I won’t be able to catch once I let go, but … I’m always afraid that I’ll become a burden to others. When Xiao Xiwei said this, her gaze was especially sad. She had chosen the Hot Springs Villa in the west of the city, and she probably felt that she might never go to pick her up again.

How could she be lying to him if she was so considerate of him?

Lu Haiyang took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the depression in his heart. “Your Highness, we have been brothers for so many years. Do you think I would lie to you?”

“Evidence? Are you saying that there are any documentary dramas?” Chu Yanzhi stared coldly at Lu Haiyang.

“Lu Haichuan! The reason why His Highness heard those maids’ words that day was all because of Lu Haichuan’s design! He is a member of King Qin, can’t he explain everything by helping Xiao Xiwei like this?” Lu Haiyang said.

“How did you know about this?” Chu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, his pitch-black eyes still icy cold.

“Lu Haichuan admitted it himself.” Lu Haiyang blurted out.

A cold smile gradually spread out from Chu Yanzhi’s lips, “So, Lu Haichuan personally admitted in front of you that King Qin and Xiwei colluded with each other …”

Looking at the cold smile on the corner of Chu Yanzhi’s lips, Lu Haiyang suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

If Qin Wang really colluded with Xiao Xiwei, then how could Lu Haichuan admit all of this in front of him? Wasn’t this pushing Xiao Xiwei to a dead end? Everyone would think this way. Of course, the Crown Prince, Chu Yanzhi, was the same. So, on that day, Lu Haichuan casually admitted and ridiculed him just for the sake of provoking him to lose control in front of the Crown Prince today?

A trace of ice gradually climbed up from the bottom of his feet.

“Hai Yang, you’ve disappointed me too much.” Chu Yanzhi glanced coldly at Lu Haiyang, stood up, and then walked out of the pavilion.

“Crown Prince!” Looking at Chu Yan’s back, Lu Haiyang shouted unwillingly, “Our brotherhood for so many years, is it really going to be broken by a woman’s hand today?”

Chu Yanzhi, who had just walked out of the pavilion, paused, but he still did not turn around. “The thing that affects our brotherhood is not a woman, but you.” Dropping this sentence, the figure did not stop at all. Not long after, it was out of Lu Haiyang’s line of sight.

It’s him …

Haha …

Countless sharp ice edges suddenly grew out of Lu Haiyang’s chest. The ice edges made his entire body freeze, but at the same time, they caused him to burst into rage.

It’s all because of you.

Xiao Xiwei.

The night in the early spring of the capital was still cold, but the hot spring villa in the west of the city was an exception.

Xiao Xiwei was very tired from the tiredness of the journey, so just as she finished her dinner, she retired from the maid and went to bed to rest.

When she was asleep, she suddenly felt an itch at the tip of her nose. However, she immediately smelled a familiar smell. She resisted the curl of her lips and sent her face forward. She whispered, “Stop messing around.”

“How did you know it was me?” His magnetic voice revealed a faint smile of doting.

Xiao Xiwei pursed his lips and smiled deeper. “I knew it.” After saying that, he half-raised his body and directly pressed his face against his boiling chest. He even reached out to hug his waist.

Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand and plucked the fine blue threads on Xiao Xiwei’s forehead. However, when he saw the white veil wrapped around her head, his slender fingers paused, and a trace of cold killing intent flashed across his ink-jade-like eyes.

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Xi noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, so she opened her eyes slightly.

Chu Xizhi did not say anything, only lowered his head and lightly kissed Xiao Xiwei’s forehead.

“Xizhi, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Xiao Xiwei sat up and looked at Chu Xizhi solemnly.

Chu Xizhi smiled. His slender fingertips streaked across Xiao Xiwei’s white jade-like cheeks, and his voice rang out in a low voice,

“Xiwei, I don’t want to apologize to you anymore, because I have said it too many times. I will make him pay the price.” As he spoke the last sentence, a trace of ruthless killing intent flashed across Chu Xizhi’s eyes.

Xiao Xiwei’s expression became serious. “Xizhi, what do you plan to do?”

Chu Xi smiled and said, “What do you want me to do? Do you think Lu Hai Yang is a man who is willing to give up? You let him fall several times in a row and even tricked him before he left. Do you think he can let you off?”

Xiao Xiwei lowered his head and thought for a while. Yilu Haiyang’s temper probably hated her. Now that she had left the capital, she had left Chu Yanzhi’s protection.

“Is he going to attack me here?” Xiao Xiwei looked up at Chu Xizhi and said.

Chu Xizhi curled his lips and said, “That’s a good idea.”

“Whose idea is good?” Seeing that Chu Xizhi seemed to be in a good mood, Xiao Xiwei raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile on her lips did not feel any lighter.

Judging from his appearance, he was confident that he would be able to handle this matter.

“Naturally, you have to trap someone.” Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand and held Xiao Xiwei in his embrace, while his slender fingertips hooked up her scattered green threads to play with.

“Have you thought of how to deal with him?” Xiao Xiwei said.

Chu Xi smiled and said, “At that time, I will have to trouble Madam.”

“Me?” Xiao Xi was slightly confused.

Chu Xizhi lowered his head and kissed the corner of Xiao Xiwei’s lips. “Is madam bored lately? Do you want to accompany your husband out for a walk?”

Xiao Xiwei frowned. Just as she was about to say something nonsense, she saw someone lying beside her turn over and get out of bed. Not only that, he also quickly bent down and picked her up.

“Xizhi, you’re crazy.” Xiao Xiwei was shocked.

Bi Yun didn’t come to the Hot Spring Villa with her because she stayed in the Yongchun Palace. There was only Hong Yu by her side. The other three maids and two women accompanying him were all appointed by Chu Yanzhi. Although the few attendants left behind by the Hot Spring Villa were all left behind by Chu Xi-zhi, she was still very worried at this moment. Besides, didn’t he just say that Lu Haiyang would come here to attack her?

Chu Xi smiled, “Madam, don’t worry. Naturally, someone will stay here for you.” With that, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Xiao Xiwei didn’t even look at it when a black figure flashed out of the window.

“This is …”

“Ye, I haven’t seen Madam yet.”

The black figure stood up and calmly cupped his fists at Xiao Xiwei. “Greetings, Madam.”

Xiao Xiwei’s eyes suddenly lit up, and the corner of his mouth curled into a bright smile. “This is the night that Zi Yan used to talk about!”

Although she knew that Chu Xizhi had left behind several hidden guards beside her before leaving, and that Night was one of them, it was usually Zi Yan who contacted them. There were very few cases where she had only seen their figures in the darkness and could not see their faces clearly.

Hearing Xiao Xiwei mention Zi Yan’s name and borrowing the flickering candlelight in the room, Ye’s face suddenly flashed a little unnaturally.

Chu Xizhi raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed softly, “Madam, it’s not time for you to match up yet. Let Ye take a closer look at you and look for a set of clothes that you often wear.”

“Look at me? Clothes?” Xiao Xiwei frowned. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “You shouldn’t have let Ye pretend to be me, right?”

“You don’t think it’s appropriate?”

Xiao Xiwei glanced up and down at Night, “But his figure …”

“Madam, haven’t you heard of something called Bone Shrinking Technique in this world?” Chu Xizhi smiled and explained Xiao Xiwei’s confusion.

Xiao Xiwei suddenly came to a realization, but …

Looking at Ye’s iceberg-like face, it was hard for her to imagine him disguising himself as her in her clothes …

What if I wear it?

“Madam, don’t worry. For a dead man, it doesn’t matter whether he wears a gang or not.” Chu Xizhi said with his eyes wide open.

As soon as he touched the gauze wrapped around Xiwei’s head, Chu Xizhi felt as if his entire body was being roasted by fire.

He would never allow anyone to hurt his beloved woman.

Absolutely not!
