CHAPTER 714: CHAPTER 581: THAT BITCH DESERVES A SCOLDING

Facing the varied expressions of the Empress and Chen Tuo, Feng Xun remained unfazed.

As if just moments ago, witnessing their shameless behavior, he had no reaction.

"Your Majesty, it is getting late. Since King Kaijiang has arrived, this official will take his leave first." Feng Xun’s nearly indifferent gaze, sharp as a knife, pierced into the heart of the Empress.

She had a premonition that Feng Xun had long known about her ambiguous relationship with Chen Tuo.

When did he find out?

The Empress had always thought she had a thorough understanding of Feng Xun.

But now it seemed, this child had seen through him long ago.

His request to leave the Imperial Palace, to leave Beiqing, was it also because he had long noticed a change in the way she looked at him?

The Empress’s heart ached severely, her greatest fear had still come to pass—Feng Xun had witnessed a side of her unknown to others.

In her life, the Empress had loved only two men, one was Feng Lan, the other was Feng Xun.

For them, she even let go of the dignity of being an Empress, yet it was this father and son who repeatedly rejected her, completely breaking her heart.

Seeing Feng Xun about to step away, the Empress clenched her teeth and said forcefully,

"Chen Tuo, what are you waiting for? Prince Feng intended to dishonor me, such a rebellious traitor, why don’t you capture him!"

Chen Tuo’s mind went blank, and looking at the Empress, he understood, tonight she intended to keep Feng Xun here no matter what.

"Prince Feng, my apologies!"

Chen Tuo couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes, feeling like there was a green cloud hovering above his head, what kind of situation was this?

He had planned to enjoy himself tonight, but who would have thought he’d end up catching an adulterer for the woman he fancied, one could imagine how annoyed he felt inside.

Yet an imperial command is hard to defy, even if Chen Tuo was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to comply.

With jealousy and resentment, he glanced at Feng Xun.

A surge of Primordial Power welled up inside him; knowing Feng Xun had no martial arts, Chen Tuo couldn’t even be bothered to move, just wanting to use the might of Primordial Power to directly intimidate him into staying.

"Don’t hurt him!"

The Empress, seeing this, sternly shouted.

Her heart was also filled with conflict. Feng Xun had refused her, and she hated him to death.

Yet every time she saw Feng Xun’s handsome face, her heart became irresistibly restless, such a mix of love and hate made the Empress lose control.

While the Empress and Chen Tuo were talking, Feng Xun swiftly moved toward the inner hall.

He had visited the Empress’s sleeping quarters as a child and remembered there was a window in the inner hall, outside the window was a man-made lake, which led directly outside the palace.

The Empress and Chen Tuo were unwilling to let go.

Both flew swiftly after Feng Xun.

Little did they know, although Feng Xun "had no" martial arts, he was very fast in his movement technique.

He hadn’t gone far when suddenly there was a loud rumble, the Empress was greatly startled.

"Be careful, there are traps."

A cage made of Nirvana Iron descended from above, the Empress quickly moved away, but Chen Tuo was caught within.

"Swish, swish, swish"

A flurry of swift arrows flew in, numerous poison-tipped cold arrows, their cold light sparkling nearly brushed past the Empress’s back.

The sleeping quarters of the Beiqing Empress, unguarded, were rigged with traps and Hidden Weapons.

These traps and Hidden Weapons were known only by the Empress.

As a child, Feng Xun had stayed in the Empress’s sleeping quarters for a while, and the Empress, fearing he might get hurt, once mentioned them to him, telling him not to trigger the traps and Hidden Weapons.

Little did she know, Feng Xun still remembered them after all these years.

The Empress and Chen Tuo were instantly covered in a cold sweat.

Especially the Empress, she never thought that after all these years, Feng Xun would still remember the position of those traps and Hidden Weapons, and that today, he would use them against them.

"Feng Xun, if you think you can use these methods to escape from here, let me tell you, tonight, you won’t be leaving. You, I’ve decided, belong to me."

Empress’s gaze was filled with evil as she performed a series of movement techniques, moving like a wisp of smoke to avoid the numerous traps and Hidden Weapons.

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound, and the room instantly became dark.

It turned out that Feng Xun had smashed the Luminous Pearls in the room.

The bedroom was immediately engulfed in darkness.

Empress snorted coldly, her gaze swiftly moving around the room.

With their level of cultivation, even in the dark, their vision was only slightly impaired. It didn’t take much effort for her to locate Feng Xun.

Feng Xun stood in the shadows, fists clenched.

He closed his eyes, allowing his breathing to stabilize.

When he opened his eyes again, they had turned the color of amber.

"Qingshuang!"

In the darkness, this call struck Empress’s ears like thunder.

Empress’s face was initially stunned, but soon after, it was filled with ecstasy.

Just now, when she asked Feng Xun to call her by her intimate name, he acted coldly, but now he was calling her intimate name again. Did this mean he had changed his mind?

"Xinxin, Aunt knows, you still can’t bear to leave Aunt," Empress’s face flushed with red.

She groped towards Feng Xun’s direction.

"Qingshuang, you old bitch ridden by thousands, how dare you lay your hands on me."

Empress froze upon hearing this; her steps halted immediately, she looked disbelievingly toward a certain part of the inner hall, and at that location, the tall and chilling figure filled Empress’s heart with both fear and anger.

"Feng Xun, you thief, how dare you insult Empress." Inside the cage, Chen Tuo’s face suddenly changed, Primordial Power surged like a tide, and the extremely tough Nirvana Iron Cage was actually twisted out of shape by his Primordial Power.

At that moment.

A thumping sound came from a certain direction in the room.

Empress was greatly shocked and looked in that direction.

A white figure dashed out from the position of Empress’s bed.

"Who is there!"

Empress was frightened; she hadn’t expected there to be someone else in her bedroom besides the three of them.

The secret of the Underground Li Palace, the Underground Li Palace!

Empress took a deep breath.

Without the slightest hesitation, she charged directly towards the bed and tried to catch the white figure.

But a figure was faster than she, leaping out from the bed.

A vast surge of Primordial Power instantly filled the entire bedroom.

That presence, it was so familiar.

Empress trembled,

Almost at the same time, the white figure had already landed in Wu Zhong’s arms.

Needless to say, it was Little Zhiyo.

As for the other person who came out of the bed...

Wu Zhong did not hesitate; he reached out in the void and accurately grabbed a warm soft hand.

"Don’t make a sound," Wu Zhong quickly said in a low voice.

Ye Lingyue, who had taken the Invisibility Elixir, was both shocked and puzzled; she knew the situation was urgent and there could be no slip-up.

Just now, she was in the Underground Li Palace, forcefully treating Feng Lan.

Finally, she had devoured the last black spot on Feng Lan’s head.

She saw Feng Lan still hadn’t regained consciousness, so she intended to leave first and find Feng Xun later.

Little did she know, just as she was about to activate the mechanism to leave the Underground Li Palace, she heard the voices of Feng Xun and Empress.

Only then did Ye Lingyue realize that Empress had returned.
