Demon Doctor Wild Concubine
Shen Yunxi looked straight at him, not willing to show weakness. Feng Qingchen's lip corners slightly curved to one side, as if mocking her lack of self-awareness. However, seeing the expression on his face, Shen Yunxi remained unchanged and showed no signs of compromise.
A gentle breeze blew, and a few scattered leaves fell down, their light yellow color tinged with a hint of desolation. In this atmosphere where danger lurked all around, it seemed even more sorrowful and helpless.
The twins turned their eyes, looking at the falling leaves, and their hearts suddenly skipped a beat!
It seems like this scene is a prelude to a tragedy.
Looking at Feng Qingchen, his gaze became even more frightened and uneasy.
Heart, trembling terribly...
"Haha......"
Suddenly, Feng Qingchu looked up and laughed, her laughter carrying a hint of arrogance.
Shen Yunxi raised her eyes, suspiciously staring at him, as if searching for the profound meaning hidden behind his smile. However, before she could make a judgment, the hand that was gripping her neck had already let go.
The silver needle in hand was quietly withdrawn and continued to be hidden in the sleeve.
Then, Feng Qingchen's low voice entered her ears: "Shen Yunxi, it seems that this king has indeed underestimated you, you——"
He stopped here, lowered his eyes, and stared tightly at Shen Yunxi, with the moonlight falling on her face.
Her face was somewhat pale, and at this moment she was stroking her chest, slightly lowering her head, panting heavily. Although she looked a bit disheveled, she seemed even more stunningly beautiful.
Jian Feng's words stopped halfway, she raised her head, but didn't expect her gaze to collide directly with his deep eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat, not because of the tenderness in his eyes, but because in that glance, she suddenly felt a chill that didn't belong to early autumn creeping over her.
Even so, this cool intention was only for a moment, but she still keenly perceived it.
She hadn't even had time to think much before Feng Qingchen's voice sounded in her ear: "You, are indeed not to be underestimated."
His words carried a hint of laziness, yet were even more enchanting and captivating.
After hearing his words, Shen Yunxi had a moment of daze, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Then, she regained her composure, gave him a faint smile and a slight bow, "Yunxi thanks the king for his excessive praise. However..."
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Has the king also underestimated him?"
This time, after hearing her not-so-kind words, Feng Qingchen didn't get angry, but instead looked at her with a slight smile on his lips, without saying anything else.
In the silence, a sudden hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, and the two of them looked out at the same time.
Shen Yunxi's beautiful eyes narrowed, thinking that the hour was approaching, who else would come to her 'remote' Shu Yu Xuan. The next second, when she turned her head and saw Feng Qingchen's handsome face full of solemn coldness, she understood.
It was his person.
Judging from those footsteps, it seems like nothing good is coming.
But it's none of her business!
Shen Yunxi was just thinking about this when he saw Long Wu walking in with a cold expression.
It was as if he hadn't seen Shen Yunxi in the room, Long Wu strode past her and walked to Feng Qingchen's side, leaning down to whisper in his ear.
Long Wu's words, Shen Yunxi didn't hear a single sentence, but Feng Qingchen's increasingly gloomy expression on his handsome face, she saw it clearly.
Feng Qingchen raised his eyes and swept a glance at Long Wu, and in those deep eyes, a hint of darkness flashed by. His lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything after all. Then, he turned around and walked outwards, but just as he reached the door, he stopped again, turned back, and looked towards Shen Yunxi.
His eyes were still deep and profound, Shen Yunxi couldn't see through them for a moment, so she could only smile lightly at him.
In an instant, Feng Qingchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and her pupils surged with wind and clouds.
Shen Yunxi was taken aback for a moment. Had she misinterpreted his smile? Shouldn't she have always been cold and sarcastic towards him?
Can be understood as: Is he looking for abuse?!
As he pondered, Feng Qing suddenly hummed a soft tune and turned around, walking out quickly. Long Wu immediately followed, closely behind her.
Looking at the figure of Feng Qing leaving in the moonlight, Shen Yunxi furrowed her brow. This man... is really incomprehensible!
"Miss..."
Suddenly, a helpless sobbing sound came from behind the twins.
Shen Yunxi turned around and saw Shuang'er standing there, crying like a child, with a look of fear in her eyes. It seemed that she had been frightened by the scene just now.
"Miss, how can you be like this? Clearly knowing he is the prince, yet still being so stubborn. If the prince really gets angry and takes your life, how can I explain it to the master?"
Shuang'er sobbed and spoke out in a somewhat unclear tone, but every word was an accusation against Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi silently let out a sigh, walked over, and gently wrapped Shuang'er in his arms, softly comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine now, don't cry."
"But... Miss, you almost lost your life... just a little bit more and you would have become the third queen who couldn't make it through the wedding night..."
"It's already over, don't think about it anymore. It was my fault, I wasn't thoughtful enough. It won't happen again, okay?"
"But..."
It was clear that the scene just now had poisoned Shuang'er very deeply. No matter what Shen Yunxi said or promised, she was still immersed in that infinite fear and couldn't extricate herself!
Outside the pavilion, Feng Qing stopped in her tracks, her black eyes narrowing as she stared intently at Long Wu. Her words were like a voice from hell, exuding an icy aura.
"Didn't you assure me this morning that everything was in place? Why are you telling me now that the person hasn't been caught?"
Long Wu 'thudded' and fell to one knee on the ground, saying: "Your subordinate has failed in his duties, please punish me, Your Highness!"
"Now everyone has run away, I have punished you, will people be caught?"
Feng Qing's thin lips moved slightly, lightly questioning the prostrate Long Wu.
He was even more humbled by this rebuke, "Your Highness is right, I will immediately go back and investigate the situation to find out who the visitor is."
Feng Qing glanced at Long Wu with a faint gaze and asked coldly, "Did he steal anything?"
"No. Judging from their behavior, it seems that this time the person who came is not for military secrets, but rather to explore the way."
"Are you sure?" Feng Qingchen's sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly as she asked in a low voice.
"Yes! I can see it clearly, the purpose of the person who came is indeed so." Long Wu's affirmative answer. Feng Qingchu nodded slightly and instructed: "First go back to the study room."
Long Wu nodded and followed Feng Qingchen to the study.
After a while, Shen Yunxi finally comforted Shuang'er.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the tears streaming down her face, looking at her frowning eyebrows in a dream, Shen Yunxi helplessly shook his head, then got up and walked out of the room.
She raised her head, gazing up at the vast starry night sky, and took a deep breath before walking out of the Shu Yu Pavilion.
