The Prosperous Era's Scheme of the Imperial Consort 046 Countermeasures Against Those Who Want Your Life Name 3G Network Premiere
All along, Feng Chen Ye had given her the feeling of being aloof and detached, high and mighty, even profound and mysterious. The way he looked at the account book with such seriousness and dedication made even she have to admit that it was indeed mesmerizing, not one bit inferior to Zhan Qing Cheng.
She thought he was always so cold-blooded, but tonight's him, looking at the little book... completely overturned his serious and strict image.
"How about it? Want to accompany me in a performance?" Wind Chenye smiled wickedly, staring at her unpredictable face, his gaze moving away from her face and scanning her body up and down.
That exquisite and perfect figure he had seen before, and even touched, now looking at her, his lower body already had a few points of lust.
However, he was a bit unusual tonight, knowing that his body had an impulse and feeling towards her, and his mood was still okay.
Tonight's Feng Chen Ye is really strange.
"Your Highness, stop joking around. A lowly female slave like me, how can I possibly play a palace drama with you?" In fact, she wasn't very good at speaking the official language of this era, her words and phrases were all random:
"Your Highness, if you want, I can invite the two sisters Liu Ke and Liu Yi for you."
Those sisters looked like they had received a good education at first glance, and she believed that letting them serve would absolutely not disappoint him.
Although this can be considered as helping them out, if it can also make Feng Chenye stop having ideas about her from now on, that would not be bad either.
"You are more beautiful than them, why should the king have them serve?" He leaned back in his chair, looking down at her with a lazy expression: "For now, the king is still more interested in you."
Jiuyin exerted great effort to maintain a smile on his face, silently retreating half a step back and keeping a distance from him.
"My body is not well, I cannot serve the king, hasn't the king tried it before?"
"There's always a way, isn't there?" With a flick of his long finger, he had already retrieved the small booklet from her hand. He flipped through it casually, saying something that sounded equally nonchalant:
"Haven't you seen me learning how to pleasure women? Tonight, I'll give it a try. I will make you happy."
Those evil words flowed out of his perfect lips, without a hint of shame in his tone, yet they sent a chill down her spine.
Her face turned pale, and she forced a laugh, taking a step back. "The prince is joking, isn't he? With your exceptional good looks and high status, the palace must be filled with beauties. How could you not understand the ways of the world?"
"Are you jealous?" Feng Chenye tossed out this sentence without even raising an eyebrow.
Of course, he didn't notice Jiuyin secretly rolling her eyes at him.
Jiu Yin didn't say anything else. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Seeing him like this now, it seems that what he said earlier was just a mere utterance, and perhaps it was meant to intimidate her.
Thinking of this, I feel slightly relieved in my heart.
A majestic king, how could he possibly really learn how to hurt women by looking at Spring Palace paintings? She was overthinking it.
It's probably just been a long time since I've been in such a desolate place, and having been out of touch with the world for so long, my heart has turned savage.
But in this case, staying behind to serve him is perilous.
She stood up from the ground, retreated to one side, and was just thinking of using a stomachache as an excuse to leave when Feng Chen Ye suddenly spoke in a cool tone: "This king did not take in those two sisters, do you have any resentment?"
He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, digested them for half a day, and then said, "I dare not."
It's not that I don't dare, but rather that I'm truly unhappy inside.
Feng Chenye flipped through the book, feeling that the men and women inside were not very attractive to him. They all seemed to be doing the same thing over and over again, although their movements and postures varied, but it was a bit dull to watch.
His gaze fell on her downcast cheeks.
No matter when you look at it or from which angle you look at it, it is always so beautiful and charming, with no dead ends at all.
Heaven-born, a beauty from the womb.
"You're prettier than the woman inside." he said suddenly.
She was frightened again, but her face remained expressionless. "Your Highness, I...my stomach..."
"Do you want me to take them in?" Feng Chen Ye interrupted her words.
She suddenly raised her head and bumped into his deep and dark eyes, unable to understand what he was thinking.
Think, naturally is thinking, those two sisters want her life, this feud, can be avenged naturally is the best.
However, Jiuyin was very clear that there is no free lunch in the world. If Fengchenye helped her out this time, he would definitely ask for something in return from her afterwards.
She is not stupid.
"Your Highness," she inclined her head, trying to appear as gentle and respectful as possible: "Since I'm still fine now, let's just forget about what happened before. I only want to spend the rest of my days in peace."
"As a woman of the War Quenching City, staying by my side, do you think I will let you live in peace?" He smiled with a hint of frivolity, his peach blossom eyes fixed on her slightly changed face, with an unsettling and demonic charm amidst his languid demeanor.
"Little girl, aren't your thoughts a bit too naive?"
Jiǔ yīn bù shuō huà, zhǐ shì ān jìng dài zhe.
Translation:
Nine sounds did not speak, just quietly waiting.
Indeed, it's naive.
After spending several days together, he no longer made things difficult for her, and he even thought that from now on they could spend their days in peace... A few days had let her get used to this kind of life, forgetting everything he had done to her before. Indeed, too naive.
Although he and Jian Qingcheng are brothers, he only cares about Jian Qingcheng's life or death, but in his heart, he still hates Jian Qingcheng.
It was said that she would be the most pitiful cannon fodder in this war of theirs, and in the end, perhaps her fate would be to vanish into thin air.
Her eyes trembled slightly, wanting to look up at him, but didn't dare.
Also don't want to.
Sometimes he would scare her so much that she'd rather not look at his face.
I thought he would say something sarcastic, but unexpectedly, his tone changed and he suddenly said: "As long as you serve me well, I'll help you avenge yourself, how about that?"
She found herself a little unable to keep up with his pace, but she was trying her best to follow: "What does the prince want me to do?"
He wants her to be available at all times, it's just his own wish, why bother giving her a chance to choose?
From head to toe, she had no choice at all, what he wanted to do was what happened.
He is the high and mighty prince, she is just a slave.
Seeing the disdain and resentment in her eyes, Feng Chen Ye smiled instead of getting angry: "I still prefer your gentle and obedient appearance like a little dog, come here."
Nine sounds hateful can't wait to tear his cheap mouth apart.
She walked over and squatted down beside his leg again, pinching it, very obediently.
Tonight's Feng Chen is very abnormal, as if he had taken the wrong medicine, I don't know if it was influenced by that little book, anyway, tonight he is really... inexplicably strange!
She didn't know what he was going to do next, so she could only sit silently on her knees beside him, still quietly massaging his long legs.
"Scared?" Catching the flicker of panic in her eyes, Feng Chen Ye made an effort to smooth out the disordered breath that had accidentally escaped, his thin lips curling up into a hint of amusement.
Jiu Yin still didn't speak up, in front of him, she seemed to have no place to hide, whatever she said was all the same.
"Why don't you continue the act?" He leaned forward, hooking up her frail chin, "Didn't these past few days look pretty good? And that day in the cave..."
He paused, giving her enough time to adjust her breathing. "Fragile and pitiful, suffering all the grievances but can only swallow it in one gulp, such exquisite acting skills are even more vivid than those of a first-rate actress in the capital. Should this king praise you with a 'wonderful'?"
Jiuyin closed her eyes, covering up the unease at the bottom of her eyes. When she opened them again, her gaze had calmed down a lot.
She took a deep breath and said calmly: "They want my life, Your Highness. Although I am just a female slave, I am also a human being. I don't think I did anything wrong."
"Are you provoking me?" He raised an eyebrow, and instead of being displeased by her calmness and retort, he felt a thread of inexplicable pleasure.
The composure of the little slave girl pleased him; although it was clear that she was pretending, being able to pretend so well was also not bad.
The body is weak and feeble, but the will is still holding up.
"I don't dare..."
"In front of me, you should call yourself 'slave'."
"I'm not..."
"Say 'I'." The two words "nu bi" sounded harsh in his ears when they came from her mouth.
He took a deep breath, then another, before continuing: "Your Highness, how would you treat someone who tried to take your life?"
"Kill him." Without a doubt.
"I didn't plan to kill them, and I don't have the ability." She was just stating facts. At this point, there was no need to hide anything from him anymore. He wasn't someone who could be easily fooled. In that moment, she understood:
"Let me swallow this breath, I couldn't bear it, let alone if I don't do something, they will definitely find a way to harm me in the future."
"They are people of Fengmeng, with the powerful Consort Rong pulling the strings from behind the scenes in the imperial harem. Fengmeng's network of connections spreads throughout Eastern Chu, involving countless high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants. You, a mere female slave, what makes you think you can take revenge?"
At this moment, he was just stating facts.
Never thought that Feng Chen Ye would say such words to her, whether it was out of mockery or reminder, but at least she took them to heart.
She raised her bright eyes, staring at him unwaveringly, and said seriously: "If the person who wants to harm the king has more power than the king and is better at it than the king, will the king just do nothing and let him continue to push you towards death next time?"
Feng Chenye didn't say anything, he just looked back at her silently.
Two gazes entwined together, but it wasn't a romantic sentiment; rather, they were mutually studying every detail at the bottom of each other's eyes.
Finally, Feng Chenye let her go and smiled slightly: "I've said it before, as long as you serve me wholeheartedly, I can avenge you."
He had actually long implied that he could deal with those two women for her, but she was too foolish and had too much so-called "pride" to bother putting in the effort on him.
Or rather, to her, she herself was more terrifying than those two women, wasn't she?
