After letting out a sigh, Xuanyuan Haoyun's sight fell on the place where the jade-like ornament was hanging on Xuanyuan Haohan's waist, "Fourth brother, where's your Jade Qilin?"
"Jade Qilin? Uh, I gave it away!" Xuanyuan Haohan thought of that unique girl and a smile appeared on his pretty thin lips, carrying a bit of tenderness. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Haoyun's lips twitched violently. When did the indifferent fourth brother have such an expression?
"Fourth brother, You're crazy! What an important thing, why did you give it away so easily!" Even though he knew that fourth brother had given the Jade Qilin to a woman, he couldn't give it to the woman who had her marriage annulled by King of Qi!
This was the first time Xuanyuan Haoyun spoke in a sullen tone. He stood up in a huff, gazing at the white lotus blooming on the lake. He shook his head once again, expressing his anger and helplessness towards Xuanyuan Haohan for giving out the Jade Qilin.
"Because it's important, I want to give it to her!" Xuanyuan Haohan thought back to Feng Zhiyao's smiling face. His dark eyes narrowed, and his thick eyelashes were like wings, lightly hiding a trace of emotion that he shouldn't have in his eyes.
"Fourth brother, you're attracted!" Xuanyuan Haoyun's words weren't a question, but a confirmation.
That was why he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to present the betrothal gift!
"Eighteenth brother, she saved me when I was following the man in black into the Prime Minister's Mansion and got my arm hurt when fighting with seventh brother! Now that her marriage has been annulled by seventh brother, and I promised her a favor before, so I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to give her a betrothal gift." Xuanyuan Haohan thought about his fight with Feng Zhiyao and a hint of appreciation flashed across his eyes. Such a unique woman was rare in the world.
"But fourth brother, seventh brother's and your betrothal gifts have arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time. Sigh, the two of you have scared the young lady out of her wits, right? Several imperial doctors said that the eldest miss of Prime Minister is suffering from an illness, perhaps the days are numbered."
Xuanyuan Haoyun's elegant fingers slowly rotated the exquisite white jade teacup in his hand. The transparent liquid in the teacup was reflected in a pair of dark eyes that were like the ocean.
"Sick? Time is running out?" Xuanyuan Haohan gently smiled. His voice was like a clear spring that pierced through dense fog. He suddenly stood up, bent down, and picked up a lacquered wooden fish basin that was placed near the chess board on the stone table.
That girl must still be in love with seventh brother! Well, it was hard, but he couldn't find a single mistake in her move.
Since she was suffering from a "vicious disease", how could he force her to marry to him?
However, this was good as well. At the very least, the seventh brother wouldn't receive any benefits.
"Fourth brother, do you think we should go to Prime Minister's Mansion together to visit the young lady who is suffering from a severe illness?" Xuanyuan Haoyun found that he was in silence, so he thoughtfully suggested.
"No, she's doing it on purpose. How can I go and expose her! Let her do it! One day she will be a meek kitten in my arms! " Putting down the fish basin, Xuanyuan Haohan turned around and sat down once again. Holding a cup of tea, he slowly rubbed the rim of the cup, speaking in a faint voice while his eyes flashed with unintentional doting.
"Fourth brother, it seems like nineth brother's people secretly contacted the people from the Xi Liang Kingdom. Did the person you were tracking escape to the Prime Minister's Mansion and then disappear?" Xuanyuan Haoyun had always been close with Xuanyuan Haohan, so he would pay attention to matters related to Xuanyuan Haohan.
"Yes, this matter is still under investigation. That's right, you should pay more attention to second brother. It seems that he has gone to pay his respects to father a lot more recently. It's better if we don't move." Xuanyuan Haohan's sword-like brows furrowed.
"Since when did that second brother become so smart? I'm afraid someone gave him some secret instructions!" Xuanyuan Haoyun saw his fourth brother Xuanyuan Haohan mention the crown prince, Xuanyuan Haochen. His face was displeased, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Eighteenth brother, please don't say such things. Who doesn't know that our father doted on our second brother the most? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been established as the next ruler of our Nan Shao Kingdom at the age of three!" Xuanyuan Haohan hurriedly looked around, his expression stern.
"Fourth brother, didn't father make him the crown prince because he loved his mother deeply?" Xuanyuan Haoyun nodded. After a short moment, he put down the stubborn cup in his hand and elegantly stood up with his hands behind his back, looking as relaxed as a bamboo. His white clothes fluttered, showing an indescribable elegance.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Haoyun saw that Xuanyuan Haohan did not reply, so he turned around only to see that he was the only one in the pavilion. He sighed and lowered his eyes to see the black and white chess board with the word "wait" spelled out on it.
"Fourth brother, I understand!" He thought to himself, "Fourth brothe, you do have foresight."
A look of admiration flashed across Xuanyuan Haoyun's handsome face. His fourth brother was the best candidate to inherit the throne of Nan Shao Kingdom.
….
Begonia Garden of Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Eldest miss, it's time to take some medicine!" Zi Yun carried a bowl of black medicine and walked over to Feng Zhiyao's bed with small and quick steps.
"Ah, you know I'm just pretending, why are you still asking me to drink this medicine!" Feng Zhiyao lazily pushed the bowl away.
"Young master Ye, look at her …" Zi Yun rubbed her forehead, looking at Ye Weiyang with a sorrowful look.
"Yao'er, didn't you say that you have to disguise yourself a little more!" Ye Weiyang received Zi Yun's distress signal and immediately persuaded with a taut face.
In his heart, he was still angry at her for using the act of pretending to be sick to curse herself. Moreover, she didn't discuss it with him, just did it!
"But … However… This is already the tenth bowl of bird's nest that I drank … Damn it… Are you guys going to make up for me …" Feng Zhiyao stared at that bowl with a face full of bitterness and hatred.
Please, she wanted to be free, but other than feigning illness, what else could she do? She didn't want to refute the royal family's honor, but she didn't want to implicate the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Sigh!
"Yao'er, I … I… I was wrong…" Ye Weiyang helplessly took the medicinal bowl from Zi Yun's hands. After drinking a few mouthfuls of medicine, the bottom of the bowl was turned upside down.
"That's more like it! Give me the antidote in a few days! This medicine has made me so weak that I can't even get out of bed. Sigh." What was unlucky was that she couldn't sleep with the beautiful man these days. She hated it!
"Second Miss, Eldest Miss is ill and cannot meet the visitors!" The four maidservants outside stopped someone.
"The reason why I wanted to go in and check up on her is because I care about my sister's illness. How could you lowly maidservants stop me?! Hmph!" Feng Zhiqiong barged in arrogantly with her new maidservant, Cai Hong.
Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao frowned, raising her hand to signal Ye Weiyang to stay away first.
"Ah, this is such a timely illness!" Feng Zhiqiong's sarcastic words flew into Feng Zhiyao's ears.
"Do you think you're sick and it's over? You must have done something to my mother that night. You are truly vicious, causing her to be disgraced. That I was drugged with love potion must have something connected with you!"
After the mockery, her red eyes stared at Feng Zhiyao as if she was looking at an enemy!
"I'm vicious? It can't compare to how someone's heart is like snake or scorpion!" Feng Zhiyao originally wanted to close her eyes and rest, but Feng Zhiqiong was barking like a mad dog, making her very angry. That was why she mocked and ridiculed her.
"You —" Feng Zhiqiong pointed her slender jade finger at Feng Zhiyao, scolding her with a red face and neck. When she saw that Feng Zhiyao was alone, and Zi Yun immediately turned around to leave after seeing her, didn't even offer her a cup of tea, she was so angry that almost ground her teeth to pieces.
If Feng Zhiyao was dead, then wouldn't Brother Hao be hers?
If Feng Zhiyao died, she wouldn't need to be a lowly concubine!
In any case, she was suffering from a vicious disease and didn't have much time left! Even if she died now, father wouldn't be able to find Feng Zhiqiong's fault!
"Cai Hong, you can leave first. I have something to say to big sister Zhiyao alone." After thinking this way, Feng Zhiqiong lowered her eyes, hiding the resentment in her eyes.
"你走吧,我和你没有什么好谈的!" 风芷瑶见她摒退了婢女,冷言道.
"Go, I have nothing to talk to you about!" Feng Zhiyao said coldly when she saw that Feng Zhiqiong had dismissed the servant girl.
"Indeed, there is nothing to talk about. You are already suffering from illness and I'm afraid that you will not be far from death. I don't mind personally sending you off!" Feng Zhiqiong pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair, and a vicious look flashed across her white face.
"With just you?" Kill her? Isn't it a bit comical? Feng Zhiyao laughed out loud when she heard this. God must have seen how tired she was to pretend to be sick, so he sent this stupid woman, Feng Zhiqiong, to tease her!
"What are you laughing at?" Feng Zhiqiong thought that Feng Zhiyao would be trembling with fear.
"I laugh at your stupidity! I don't think that Xuanyuan Haofei will really like you, I feel that you are very pitiful! " Who didn't know that the backyard of the King of Qi King's Mansion was full of beautiful ladies?
"Feng Zhiyao, you say that again!" Feng Zhiqiong was extremely angry. Golden hairpin's sharpest head was already stabbing at Feng Zhiyao's neck at lightning speed.
Feng Zhiyao secretly told Ye Weiyang not to take action, she would take care of it herself.
门外.
Outside the door.
"What are you all doing here? Why don't you go in to serve? " As soon as Feng Wancai left the imperial court, he came to the Begonia Garden to see Feng Zhiyao. However, when he saw the girls standing outside the door, he loudly berated them.
Dammit, Daddy was here!
Feng Zhiqiong angrily wanted to pull back the golden hairpin, but unexpectedly, she was caught by Feng Zhiyao's slender fingers.
"Dad, help! Sister Qiong'er is crazy! She wants to kill me! Whoo …" Feng Zhiyao was crying in pain. Her eyes were cold as she quietly snatched the golden hairpin away. She turned her hand to stab at Feng Zhiqiong's hand, broke the tendons of Feng Zhiqiong's hand.
片刻之后.
A moment later.
"Ah …" The sound of people screaming and wailing echoed in the room, making Feng Wucai, who had just entered the room, feel a chill run down his spine.
Feng Zhiyao had long thrown away the golden hairpin, her face full of fear, with tears streaming down. She got off the bed, crawled in front of Feng Wucai's boots and said, "Father … Father… I wasn't able to dodge when sister Zhiqiong wanted to kill me … Whoo … But she hurt her hand by mistake. Whoo …"
Feng Zhiyao sneered in her heart, "I have plenty of time to deal with you, little by little."
"Whoo … Pain… Father… My hand. It was her … It was her, this slut … broke my tendons. Whoo … I can't play zither anymore …" Feng Zhiqiong struggled to shout out in pain, but it gradually became intense pain. Her face was pale, and beads of sweat covered her forehead. Tears flowed out from her eyes, interweaving with sweat.
"Pah!" A loud sound was heard as it mercilessly landed on Feng Zhiqiong's face, "You murdered your sister, and you still have the face to say, someone, family law!"
Feng Wancai had been so depressed that he couldn't vent his anger because of Feng Zhiqiong's mother Su Qiaoyin cheatting on him. Now that she gave him the chance, he would not let it go.
"Father… No … I am also your daughter …" Feng Zhiqiong screamed hysterically. The tight pain in her heart made her feel like she was about to suffocate.
"Yao'er, the ground is cold. Stand up quickly." Although Feng Wucai knew that Feng Zhiyao was feigning illness, but he had always doted on this daughter of his first wife, so he naturally believed her words.
"Dad, I was wrong, I mistakenly injured sister Qiong'er! Whoo… Dad, you should punish me with the family law too." In order to be more realistic, Feng Zhiyao kneeled down again.
"Yao'er, you're unintentional! Oh, get up, Zi Yun, come and help your young lady." While Feng Wancai was speaking, he had already raised his hand and ordered the servants to punish Feng Zhiqiong.
After being beaten by thirty times, Feng Zhiqiong's weak body was finally awakened by the splash of cold water.
"Father, spare little sister Zhiqiong!" Feng Zhiyao seemed to be sympathetic as she deliberately tried to persuade him.
"She already wants to kill you, yet you're still speaking up for her, hmph!" Perhaps Feng Wucai was really angry, but after getting up, he quickly left.
"Second Miss … Second Miss … Let's go back and apply the medicine…" With reddened eyes, Cai Hong helped the scarred Feng Zhiqiong up.
"Bitch, you and I are irreconcilable!" These were the first words Feng Zhiqiong said when she opened her eyes.
"Hahaha …" Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao covered her mouth and smiled. "Ah, I'm so scared."
These words angered Feng Zhiqiong so much that she vomited blood. In the end, she had Cai Hong carry her back to Plum Court.
July 24, two days after Feng Zhiqiong had been picked the tendons out of her hand, Su Muyan received the news and came to Prime Minister's Mansion.
Begonia Garden.
Lotus pond winding path, small bridge running water, curved bridge veranda winding, crabapple blossoms and iris flowers reflected in the lake, in the center of the lake, the heluan pavilion was exquisite and beautiful.
Lying on the beautiful bed in the pavilion, one could see the clear water and the impressive blue sky and white clouds. On the shores of the lake were pavilions situated within the forest and flowers, and the scenery was picturesque.
At this moment, Feng Zhiyao, who was wearing a white dress, was lying on the beautiful bed. In her hands was an ancient book that was slightly yellow, blocking her peerless appearance. A few strands of hair that had been blown by the breeze also fluttered in the air.
"Yao'er, you've been reading for a long time." Ye Weiyang looked at the ancient book in her hands, cold sweat dripping profusely.
"Don't make noise, I have to take a closer look. Let's try it out tonight!" Feng Zhiyao randomly turned to another page, attentively reading it.
"Yao'er, you've been reading it for two hours." Ye Weiyang secretly hated himself for agreeing to give her the erotic painting collection. She was only reading the painting collection, didn't care about anything else.
"As I read it, isn't it all for our future sexual blessings?!" Feng Zhiyao chuckled and moved the book away with a serious face.
"Yao'er, why didn't you let me do anything last time? She wanted to kill you. If it wasn't for you being clever, the one got injured would be you." When Ye Weiyang thought about how Feng Zhiqiong wanted to kill Feng Zhiyao, he began to worry.
"Weiyang, I just want to slowly play her to death!" Feng Zhiyao's smile was extremely coquettish, like dew in the morning mist. It looked pure and spotless, but Ye Weiyang couldn't help but shiver upon seeing it.
"Eldest Miss, young master Su is here!" Zi Yun walked over from afar with a plate of exquisite pastries in her hands as she reminded in a small voice.
"Weiyang, I'll have to trouble you to dodge again." Feng Zhiyao was annoyed. She raised her pretty eyebrows and thought to herself, Is Su Muyan coming to punish her?
