The death was extremely tragic!

In less than two days, three of the emperor's most trusted ministers were killed at the same time. The means were so cruel that it was horrifying.

Just like the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, the Shangshu Mansion was also burned down by a huge fire. The fire was so big that no one dared to get close to it even in the daytime.

Despite this, no innocent neighbors were harmed, which shows that the murderer had a very clear target and was very professional.

On the ruins of the Shangshu Mansion, the huge word "Du" appeared again in people's vision.

If the extermination of the Left and Right Prime Minister's Mansions was an accident, then the extermination of the Shangshu Mansion had to make people start to think deeply, what exactly does the word "Du" represent?

While the common people were discussing the matter, the civil and military officials had already thought of the Du family extermination case twelve years ago. If this was really the name Du calling for death, then who would be the next to be killed?

At the same time, at Taoranju, Annie received the message sent by Flame Snake and immediately handed it to Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan opened it and frowned: "It's not him? It's not him?"

Annie replied calmly: "Hua Shao's source of information cannot be wrong. These three consecutive massacres have nothing to do with Feng Wang."

Anna also stroked her chin: "Princess, in my opinion, King Feng doesn't even bother to do these things. If he wanted to do it, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until today?"

Ling Yuan snorted coldly, "That may not be the case. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. If you don't know him, don't make random assumptions."

Anna blinked playfully and said, "Master, who is making such random guesses?"

Ling Yuan ignored them and thought to herself, if it wasn't Wei Jie, then who else could have such great ability?

How much ability does it take to kill the three most trusted people around the emperor within two days?

I heard that till now none of those purple-clothed men have been found, which is enough to show their hiding ability. Even the royal secret guards are powerless to stop them.

"Miss, according to our investigation, this is most likely a purposeful, targeted revenge that was laid twelve years ago."

They carefully studied the experiences of the left and right prime ministers and the minister of justice over the years, and it was not difficult to find that these three people were the three who made the greatest contributions to the Du Mansion case that year.

Then the next goal is... self-evident!

If those outside the circle can find out, then people in the circle will naturally understand what it means better.

In the major case twelve years ago, most of the people who knew about it died at the hands of the emperor. Those who remained were either insignificant people or the emperor's most trusted officials.

It must be said that the left and right prime ministers and the minister of justice were the emperor's right-hand men and women. Now they were all destroyed by the other side in a flash. How could the emperor not be anxious and angry?

"I heard that the emperor vomited blood and fainted?"

Somehow, Anna always felt that her master was gloating.

"Haha, I never expected that I would run into something like this right after I got married. No wonder His Majesty the Phoenix King is so busy that I can't even see his shadow!"

"You want to see the king?"

An Hui and Anna were startled by the sudden voice. Before they could react, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Ling Yuan, staring at her with burning eyes.

Ling Yuan, who had just taken a sip of tea and hadn't had time to swallow it, saw the man who appeared in front of her like a ghost, puff...

Just as she was about to spray the mouthful of tea towards someone, a powerful palm wind suddenly swept across the chair under her buttocks.

With a loud 'snap', the intact chair broke into pieces in full view of everyone.

Ling Yuan kept the same posture as she had just held the teacup and sprayed tea out, with saliva still flowing from her mouth. She sat on the ground in such an embarrassing manner, staring blankly at Wei Jie who suddenly appeared, her face full of embarrassment after being caught.

Wei Jie just took a glance and turned his face away in disgust. Although there was no contempt, arrogance or humiliation in his eyes, it revealed naked... disregard.

After a dead silence...

An Hui and Anna finally reacted and ran over, carefully helping their slightly clumsy master up. Then, they looked at her with pity and left the stage very quickly.

"These little heartless ones!"

Ling Yuan cursed, stroking her own fat buttocks in hatred, and looked at the expressionless face opposite her with displeasure, mockingly,

"Oh, it's really rare that Your Highness the Phoenix King actually remembered to come and see me? I thought you would forget about my existence once you got married!"

Wei Jie glanced at her from the side, revealing his slightly ferocious profile. With the sinister arc of his lips, he looked extremely creepy. "What? It's only been two days since we last met, and you think of me like this?"

She felt her heart tighten suddenly, and her momentum weakened by three points involuntarily, "Who, who said that? I'm not thinking about you, I'm clearly..."

"What is it?"

"You, you care about me?"

Seeing the woman raising her short and thick neck, as if trying to quibble, the man raised his eyebrows. Although there was no extra expression on his face, there was an obvious smile in his eyes.

"Pack your things and follow me!"

Ling Yuan paused in rubbing her buttocks, raised her head suddenly, and took a step back cautiously: "Pack your things? Where are you going?"

“Detoxify!”

The man opened his thin lips and uttered two words that couldn't be any lighter.

Ling Yuan's voice suddenly rose: "Detoxification?"

After saying this, he did not forget to look at Wei Jie.

Being stared at like this, Wei Jie's face flashed with discomfort: "It's not this king."

Ling Yuan curled her lips: "If it's really you, I'm starting to doubt whether you are the calamity star in my life. It's happening over and over again, and it's never going to end!"

Wei Jie's eyes sharpened, and his voice gradually became a little colder: "What did you say?"

Ling Yuan snorted and glared at him unkindly: "I just got married and I haven't even had a chance to catch my breath yet, and you're assigning me work?"

"You have time to drink tea but no time to detoxify?" Wei Jie looked at her with a half-smile, "Are you sure you haven't rested enough?"

"Ok, ok, ok, so don't waste your time with me."

She's a ghost doctor and she doesn't treat just anyone.

Really, it’s bad enough that she encountered all these messes right after getting married, but she still rushes to work for him?

Tsk, did she really think she was his soldier, ready to be ordered around by him?

Ling Yuan looked over impatiently and happened to meet Wei Jie's sharp phoenix eyes. Her heart trembled, and she was about to pretend that she saw nothing.

A cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he walked towards her step by step: "In this case, can we terminate the agreement between us?"

Ling Yuan frowned slightly: "You, what do you mean?"

Someone's mouth curved up with a hint of naked hostility, "This king never keeps useless people."

Ling Yuan's heart sank, "You want to divorce your wife?"

Wei Jie sneered, "I didn't marry you to let you stay here and grow hair!"

Ling Yuan swallowed hard. Damn, this is not the right way to threaten someone, right? She hasn't even gotten comfortable in her position as the Phoenix Princess yet!

"I must see you at the Grand Secretary's Mansion in half an hour. Otherwise, haha..."

If Ling Yuan hadn't seen his shadow, she would have really thought she had seen a ghost today.

It was not until his back disappeared from Taoran Residence that Ling Yuan heaved a long sigh, touched his forehead, and slapped himself involuntarily: "Damn, this is really weird, I actually started to be afraid of him!"

I've never been so nervous when I was out before, could it be because...

She looked around and said, "We are in someone else's territory, so you don't have any confidence?"

"Damn it!" she cursed.

"Master, you only have half an hour to prepare."

At some point, An Hui and Annie appeared beside Ling Yuan like ghosts.

Ling Yuan gave the two of them a deep look and asked, "Who were the three who ran faster than rabbits just now, huh?"

Anna, who came in with toiletries, smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

"Master, you know how terrifying this Phoenix King is. From now on, we should stop talking about him behind his back. Who knows if he heard it just now?"

Ling Yuan slapped her on the forehead and said, "You jinx, shut up!"

Ling Yuan was annoyed, and her voice couldn't help but contain a hint of anger: "Why do you say that I have to go just because he tells me to? But I won't go, let's see what he can do to me!"

Unexpectedly, before the conversation was over, Lan Yu's voice rang out from the courtyard.

"Your Highness, the prince has just ordered that you must bring your medicine box with you and follow me. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Oh my god, she was actually threatened by a housekeeper!

Just as she was about to roll up her sleeves and go forward to ask for an explanation, An Hui and Annie held her arms at the same time, "Master, calm down, calm down. He was conveying the words of the prince. Why are you taking your anger out on others? In my opinion, you should go first. As for whether you can cure him, it depends on you."

After Annie's reminder, Ling Yuan suddenly remembered something, "Wait, where did he just tell me to go?"

"Grand Secretary's Mansion."

Ling Yuan's expression changed slightly. Grand Secretary's Mansion?

Strange, why does this place sound familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

But the surprise only lasted for a moment, because An Hui and Anna had quickly packed her most commonly used medical bag.

The so-called medical bag is similar to a modern messenger bag, about the size of a book, not big, but it has everything. All the most important things she needs in daily life are stuffed inside.

"Master, shall we go?"

Ling Yuan glanced over unhappily: "You two, have you been swapped? Huh? Why are you all so ungrateful?"

When little Anna heard this, she immediately ran over flatteringly, "Master, how can this be possible? Who dares to change their appearance in front of you? Look at my face, it really can't be more real. We are so nervous, isn't it for your sake? That is the order of the prince. If you don't listen, how can you live well in the palace in the future?"

Ling Yuan slapped her on the forehead. "As expected of you trained by Huamao, you still dare to talk about masks? Look at your own faces. Those guys did it on purpose, but I think you did it on purpose, right?"

Several maids immediately lowered their heads in grievance: "Master, we dare not disobey your orders. Otherwise, can you use drugs to make us uglier?"

In fact, they are also under a lot of pressure. Appearing next to their master with such a face is clearly a rhythm of attracting hatred!

Unexpectedly, Ling Yuan looked at them deeply and said, "I am not that wicked. If I couldn't tolerate it, how could I allow you to stay by my side? Maybe Brother Huamao is right. It's okay if I am ugly, but I can't let the people around me be ugly too. I'll keep you around to refresh my eyes and cleanse them from being polluted, right?"

The three of them looked at each other, pursed their lips and said nothing, fearing that they would say something wrong and get beaten again.

Ling Yuan didn't want to argue with them about this, so she immediately reached out and tapped Anna's forehead: "Little girl, let me tell you, I don't need to live by his face anymore, understand?"

Anna touched her forehead in grievance. What a little girl! It's obvious that you, the master, are younger than me, right?

At such a young age, it is so rude to call yourself "old lady".

Unfortunately, such words can only be said in one's heart, but one does not have the courage to say them openly.

She snatched her own medical bag and glared at the three of them. "Did you see that? I'm not a coward. I went to save the dying and the wounded for you, so that Wei Jie wouldn't haunt me anymore. Do you understand?"

The three maids nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes."

You are the master, so naturally what you say is what goes.

But deep down, he despised his master very much.

What do you mean by "for them"? It's obviously you, the master, who lacks the confidence, right?

Also, it's not that others are pestering you. His Highness the Phoenix King has never begged you from the beginning to the end!

Instead, you were severely threatened by others?

My master, I'm afraid that even you haven't realized that your aura has unconsciously weakened a lot in front of the Phoenix King.

Just like that, Ling Yuan, who was unwilling to do so, got on the carriage unwillingly and came to the Bachelor's Mansion unwillingly at the urging of the three little traitors around her.

Before the Phoenix Princess got married, the people of the four continents had already witnessed her unique position in the heart of the Phoenix King. Even though the family annihilation tragedy that occurred in the imperial capital on the day after her marriage deprived her of some attention, it still could not conceal her unique presence.

As soon as we got off the car, Shangguan Hao, the Grand Secretary of the Palace, came out to greet us with his family.

"Princess Feng, you have worked hard on the journey. Thank you for coming here in person to treat my daughter. My whole family is very grateful. Thank you very much."

Ling Yuan, who had lived in the underworld since childhood, was not used to these red tapes, so he just asked politely, "Where is the patient?"

"Qingxi is waiting for the princess in Qing Pavilion. Thank you for your help."

The scholar's wife politely invited Ling Yuan in. Although she looked calm on the outside, her heart was in turmoil. It is said that seeing is believing, but when she saw the famous Princess Feng today, the scholar's wife covered her heart with her hands and was unable to calm down for a long time.

My God, are there really such dark people in the world?

Oh my god, she is obviously about the same age as their Qingxi, how can her figure match that of two Qingxis? How does she look like?

She is probably the first one with this skin color and figure in the four countries, right?

But the key point is, how could she catch the eye of His Majesty the Phoenix King with such appearance?

The couple looked at each other and saw confusion in their eyes.

Although the couple's reaction was obscure, the people around her did not have this ability. Fortunately, Ling Yuan had already gotten used to such strange looks. She had experienced much more contempt from people than now since she was a child. She immediately turned her eyes away and pretended not to see it.

She was very aware of the impact her appearance would have. Anyone who saw a woman like this, who was completely black, with only her eyes and teeth showing color, and who was so fat, would have a look of astonishment, right?

Although she pretended not to see it, An Hui and Annie felt sorry for their master, especially for the fact that Feng Wang had not seen it yet. Is this the attitude of inviting someone? Unconsciously, they put him in the category of those who tried every means to humiliate their master.

Facing countless strange looks along the way, Ling Yuan was able to remain calm and peaceful until he reached Qing Pavilion.

In fact, when she heard the four words Shangguan Qingxi, she knew where the previous sense of familiarity came from.

Not only did she know Shangguan Qingxi, she had even met her before, but not in her identity as Ling Yuan.

Shangguan Qingxi is worthy of being the apple of the eye of the Shangguan family. She is also worthy of being the most talented woman, the most beautiful woman, and the most "ice" woman in Siyou country.

The Qing Pavilion where she lived was located on the most secluded lakeshore in the entire Bachelor's Mansion. The environment was elegant and there were many servants. Although the decoration inside was not luxurious, it showed that the master's taste and style were incomparable. Even Ling Yuan, a businessman who was used to the world's vanity, could only marvel at it.

Thinking of that beautiful yet morbid face, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that there is indeed no absolutely perfect person in this world.

For example, Wei Jie, for example, Shangguan Qingxi.

However, Wei Jie is not a person who likes to meddle in other people’s affairs. What does Shangguan Qingxi’s poisoning have to do with him?

He even went to the trouble of mobilizing so many people to get her here. What was he thinking?

"How did Miss Shangguan get poisoned?"

Wei Jie didn't say a word, so she naturally wanted to find out the reason first.

Although the scholar's wife did not know the abilities of the Phoenix King's wife, more than a dozen doctors had already gone before her. If they were not helpless, why would the Phoenix King invite her here?

I guess..., she has some real talent?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said with a sad face: "To answer the princess, after the murder in Shangshu Xing's mansion today, the prince caught the trace of the person behind the scene and immediately chased after him. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the other party. During the confrontation between the two sides, Qingxi happened to pass by that section of the road and was held hostage. Later, no one knew what happened. The other party actually poisoned the prince. In order to save the prince, Qingxi herself..."

There is no need to say much about what happened next, as anyone with a discerning eye can guess it. Although Ling Yuan thought of the beginning, he definitely did not expect the ending. The dignified Phoenix King was actually saved by a woman. No wonder his face looked so miserable.

It seems that Shangguan Qingxi is really brave. She can actually think of saving others in such a dangerous situation?

"Miss Qingxi is truly a heroine. I, the princess, would like to thank her for saving my life on behalf of the prince."

What he said was true, but somehow, the scholar's wife heard a hint of sarcasm in it.

As they were talking, they had already entered Qing Pavilion. A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine hit them in the face, causing Ling Yuan to frown subconsciously.

When she saw the clean and tidy boudoir, as elegant as that of that peerless girl, Ling Yuan felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.

After washing her hands, Ling Yuan saw the so-called 'ice' beauty lying flat on the bed, lifeless and with a slightly dark complexion.

This "ice" has two meanings. One is the icy temperament that keeps people away from her.

The other one refers to "illness". It is said that although this sick beauty is only twelve years old, she has been ill for twelve years. She seldom goes out on weekdays and is a well-known sickly person in the country of Siyou.

Therefore, no matter how beautiful she is, countless young talents are afraid to approach her.
