The morale of Qingyuan and his men was also somewhat low, and they stood there not daring to breathe loudly.
Princess Anle turned to Qingyuan and asked, "Do you also think that I am inferior to Ye Junfei?"
Blood seeped from his body, staining his clothes red. He had injured his foot when he came over because his shoe had fallen off.
At this moment, he was swaying and unsteady on his feet, but he tried his best to stand up straight in order to maintain his last bit of dignity.
Ever since he met Lin Xiuyan, he has been constantly hurt, and he feels annoyed, resentful, and angry.
Qingyuan knelt on the ground and said, "The princess is exceptionally intelligent, while Ye Junfei is a cunning villain. He is no match for the princess at all!"
Princess Anle was furious, and having not slept all night, her blood rushed to her head, and she fainted from anger.
At that moment, Ye Junfei's sword severed the throat of the last guard of Princess Anle who was blocking his way.
Blood splattered, and a few drops landed on Ye Junfei's snow-white clothes, adding another blossom to the already bustling plum blossom painting.
Wu Ge and the other guards did not pursue Princess Anle any further.
They were only able to win because Princess Anle thought he was the hunter.
He thought everything was under his control, so he let his guard down.
After Ye Junfei had Wu Ge and the others set up the killing formation, he used himself as bait to lure Princess Anle out.
Princess Anle still has dozens of guards around her, but those who survived are all highly skilled in martial arts, and their numbers far exceed those of the guards.
In this situation, chasing after them would be suicidal.
Tonight, Ye Junfei has killed too many people, and the blood has stained the ground in front of him completely red.
However, he wasn't feeling too good either; the medicinal catalyst that Princess Anle lit last night had a significant impact on him.
Even though he managed to suppress the poison temporarily with Lin Xiuyan's help, the stimulation from so much blood caused his blood and qi to surge again.
Wu Ge walked to his side, took out a pill, and handed it to him.
This pill was made by Yan Jiushu for Ye Junfei, and it can suppress his violent bloodline.
Ye Junfei took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. When he turned his head, he saw Yu Zhan peeking out from the corner of the wall.
Yu Zhan had weathered many storms, but seeing Ye Junfei's gaze still sent chills down his spine.
Because the chilling killing intent emanating from that gaze was so intense, the frost rising within it could stop a person's heart.
But the next moment, the killing intent and frost in Ye Junfei's eyes dissipated, and in an instant, they were filled with warmth like the spring sun.
The speed of the changes was unprecedented in Yu Zhan's life.
If she hadn't been certain she wasn't mistaken, she would have thought that the look she'd just received was merely her imagination. (M.cascoo.net)
With a broad smile, Yu Zhan bowed to Ye Junfei: "Your Highness is exceptionally brave and resourceful; I admire you greatly!"
Ye Junfei's lips curled slightly: "General Yu did not help Anle to kill me just now. I will remember this favor."
Yu Zhan laughed and said, "Your Highness is too kind. I didn't actually do anything."
"However, I would be very happy if the Crown Prince could remember this."
Ye Junfei had investigated Yu Zhan before and knew a little about her, but now she was even more shameless than he had expected.
He cut to the chase and asked, "Since you think I'm so capable, do you want to work for me?"
Yu Zhan had heard a lot about Ye Junfei before, and the rumors said he was a good-for-nothing.
This time, Ye Junfei had already shattered the so-called rumors with his actions.
However, this alone is not enough to persuade Yu Zhan to join Ye Junfei's side.
She smiled and said, "Your Highness is of noble birth, while I am but a commoner, and I am afraid I am not worthy of your attention."
She then changed the subject, asking, "I haven't seen the Crown Princess for a while. I wonder where she is now?"
Ye Junfei narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yu Zhan. The warmth dissipated, and a murderous intent reappeared in his eyes.
Afraid that he would misunderstand, Yu Zhan quickly said, "The Crown Princess and I hit it off immediately; we are truly kindred spirits that are hard to find in a lifetime."
"I have a few questions for her. Once I've confirmed them, I'll leave them to the Crown Prince's command."
Her words were essentially a direct message to Ye Junfei that whether or not she should pledge allegiance to him was not up to him, but rather to Lin Xiuyan.
Ye Junfei said calmly, "My wife is feeling a little unwell and is resting."
"If General Yu has anything he wants to say to her, I can pass on the message."
Yu Zhan smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, those words can only be spoken to the Crown Princess alone."
The coldness in Ye Junfei's eyes intensified.
Yu Zhan, remembering that he was a man in public, quickly said, "The Crown Princess is as beautiful as the moon in the clouds, I would never dare to have any improper thoughts about her."
Ye Junfei looked at Yu Zhan and smiled gently: "I know you wouldn't dare."
When Yu Zhan saw his smile, she felt a chill run down her spine. Her intuition told her that Ye Junfei was more dangerous than she had expected.
With Lin Xiuyan on his mind, Ye Junfei had no mood to talk to Yu Zhan. With a slight sway of his sleeves, he picked up his sword with one hand and walked towards the direction of Yihong Courtyard.
Yu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that they had been hiding in the Yihong Courtyard all night?
She recalled that last night she had led her men to search the entire town, but she had not bothered to search the burning brothel.
It's true that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is.
Ye Junfei lightly flew up to the pavilion, opened the door, but the room was empty; there was no sign of Lin Xiuyan.
He panicked and called out, "Xiuyan!"
Silence reigned all around, and no one answered.
Ye Junfei felt a little flustered. He saw the bed sheet, which was a mess and covered with bloodstains.
All of this was a reminder of what he had done to her last night.
Ye Junfei felt even more panicked when he recalled the way she looked at him after they woke up that morning.
She's not here, so where did she go?
Lin Xiuyan hadn't gone far. She was sitting by a small river about ten miles from the town, watching the clouds drift by.
After Ye Junfei left today, she also left. She knew that with Ye Junfei's abilities, he could definitely handle Princess Anle.
She knew he was not in danger, but she couldn't face him for the time being, so she took advantage of the fight between him and Princess Anle and left from the other side.
It was nearly the Dragon Boat Festival, and the vegetation was lush. Wildflowers were in full bloom in the countryside, and the world looked vibrant with life.
Her depressed mood dissipated considerably because of the beautiful scenery and tranquility.
That night in her past life left her with immense trauma.
Reborn into this world, she didn't want to repeat her mistakes. She was extremely careful, but she still ended up in another unknown territory.
As she walked along, she felt somewhat dazed, as the events of that night in her past life unconsciously replayed before her eyes.
Both of Ye Junfei's actions on those two nights were brutal, yet fundamentally different.
She could clearly sense that Ye Junfei in her past life hadn't been poisoned back then; he was...
