Xi Lingfeng is his real name, while west Lengyue is just an alias, the name he used when he built the Cold Demon Palace.
Hai Ling felt much calmer after learning that Xi Leng Yue was Xi Ling Feng. Xi Ling Feng had helped her several times before, so he probably wouldn't kill her. But then again, now that she knew his secret, would he kill her to silence her?
"You're not going to kill me to silence me, are you?"
Hai Ling kept a close eye on west Leng Feng. If he made any move, she would attack immediately. She absolutely could not sit idly by and wait to die.
However, Xi Lingfeng did not get angry or fierce as she expected. He simply looked at her and then shook his head elegantly: "No."
Hai Ling stared intently at him. Seeing his gentle expression and the absence of any hostility or coldness in his unfathomable eyes, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she always trusted this man without any explanation. Perhaps this was the innate fate between people, just as she believed that he wouldn't hurt her if he spoke.
Unconcerned about her own comfort, Hailin became curious again.
"Xi Lingfeng, why did you leave the Cold Demon Palace and come to the Great Zhou to become a prime minister? Are you hiding some ambition? Is your goal to kill Feng Zixiao and then become the emperor of the Great Zhou yourself?"
If that's really the case, she wholeheartedly agrees. She would feel it's only natural that Feng Zixiao, that man, should be condemned to the deepest hell. After all, how could the royal family be so inhumane as to use a pure and innocent girl as a pawn?
Xi Lingfeng remained silent, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with a hidden doting affection.
This girl is really daring; she's definitely not an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, Hai Ling was unaware of the other person's sigh and was still making grand pronouncements: "By the way, do you want me to help you? Let's work together from the inside and wipe out the Feng family, leaving no one alive."
In this way, she repaid the debt she owed Xi Lingfeng and avenged herself; it was truly a win-win situation.
"I'm here to find out about my background."
Xi Lingfeng's deep, magnetic voice shattered all of Hai Ling's fantasies. She couldn't help but pout. It turned out that he was only investigating her background and didn't have the ambition to seize the throne. How frustrating! Thinking about it, she added an extra sentence out of resentment.
"Should we take care of the Feng family while we're at it, and make him emperor?"
Xi Lingfeng couldn't help but let out a low laugh. This girl seemed to hate the royal family for treating her as a pawn, which was why she was so angry and kept telling him to kill the emperor and become emperor himself. He had no interest in being emperor, and if the court was in turmoil, the people would suffer the most. He really didn't want to attract any infamy. However, this little girl was clearly unhappy.
Xi Lingfeng was about to say something to comfort her when he heard someone approaching from a distance. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "If you need anything, you can come to me for help."
After saying that, he used his superb lightness skill to disappear in a flash, leaving the dark night silent.
"good."
Hailing subconsciously responded, but then immediately thought of something else: Rouge hadn't woken up yet, so she exclaimed, "Rouge hasn't woken up yet!"
But just as she finished calling out, Rouge, who was lying on the ground to the side, stirred at the opportune moment, then sat up, rubbed her eyes, and asked groggily, "Miss, how did I end up sleeping on the floor?"
Hailing quickly went over to help Yanzhi up. Recalling what had just happened, she realized that Xi Lingfeng was Xi Lengyue, the Palace Master of the Cold Demon Palace. The reason he was here was to investigate her background. Her background? Hailing blinked, remembering Xi Lingfeng's true appearance. It turned out that his ordinary appearance was a disguise. His real appearance was breathtakingly handsome, a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Such a man was enviable. Hailing was thinking about Xi Lingfeng and forgot Yanzhi's question. The man was just too enchanting, so she was too lost in thought.
Rouge slowly got up and, seeing her mistress's flushed face, asked in surprise, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Hai Ling snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head. That man was a cancer! She had only seen him once, yet she was already thinking about him. It turned out that women liked to admire handsome men, and she was one of them.
"It's alright. You just fainted. You probably haven't been feeling well lately."
She didn't want Rouge to know too much; knowing too much about certain things wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Few people probably know that Xi Lingfeng is west Lengyue. If this were to be revealed, it could be detrimental to Xi Lingfeng, who has helped her many times before, so she naturally doesn't want to cause him any trouble.
The master and servant had just straightened up when they heard footsteps approaching from not far away.
Because Green Lotus was worried about Sea Jade, she led a few maids to find her.
"Crown Princess, Crown Princess."
"I'm here."
Hai Ling responded, and Lü He and the others came over. Naturally, they didn't know what had happened to them, and they respectfully invited Hai Ling to rest.
The group turned back and headed towards the main bedroom in Linxiang Courtyard.
Two days later, Princess Fengyao officially set off for the Northern Dynasty to marry a foreign ruler.
The streets of the capital were bustling with people, all craning their necks to see what was happening. Along the ten-mile-long street, a long procession stretched out, with two hundred soldiers leading the way, followed by an honor guard, and then Princess Fengyao's carriage. It was magnificent and grand, with bright red gauze surrounding the carriage. A person could be vaguely seen sitting inside, though not clearly, but everyone could still see that she was graceful and delicate, with a graceful and gentle demeanor.
Behind the magnificent carriage followed the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were escorting the princess to marry a foreign ruler. In addition to two civil officials, there were also two military generals in charge of the overall command.
Next came the lavish dowry, with an unprecedented abundance of gifts. The princess was going to the Northern Dynasty for a political marriage, still serving her country loyally. The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty naturally could not mistreat the princess. Therefore, both the ceremony and the accompanying personnel were carefully selected. Even the dowry was arranged according to the status of the royal daughter and was handled by the empress. It was extremely luxurious.
At the very back of the procession followed three hundred soldiers, protecting the princess on her journey to the Northern Dynasty for a marriage alliance...
Chapter 68 [Handwritten VIP]
This day was also the day Hailin returned to the General's Mansion.
Crown Prince Feng Zixiao naturally couldn't accompany her back to the General's Mansion, so she led Rouge and a few guards back to the General's Mansion alone. She was really worried about her mother, Du Caiyue, fearing that she would be bullied by Madam Liu and Jiang Feixue in the General's Mansion.
At the general's mansion, steward Han Liang led the servants to receive Hai Ling. Jiang Batian was out on business, and the first wife, Madam Liu, was ill and unable to move.
Hai Ling paid no attention to the commotion. The Jiang family already had conflicts with the royal family, and everyone in the capital knew that Feng Zixiao didn't favor her. Naturally, the Jiang family didn't take her seriously either. She wasn't angry or annoyed. As long as her mother was alright, that was enough. If anything happened to her, she would definitely not let the Jiang family off the hook.
However, after seeing her mother, she learned that her mother was living quite well, the poison had been cured, and the Jiang family had stopped bothering her. So her mother was living a comfortable life, and Hailing didn't have to worry about her.
Du Caiyue already knew about her situation in the Crown Prince's residence. During the wedding, the Crown Prince did not bow to her. Everyone in the capital knew that their daughter was not favored. Just thinking about this made Du Caiyue's heart ache, but she did not want to show it in front of her daughter, as it would make her feel even worse.
Even though she never intended to marry the Crown Prince, not wanting to marry him is one thing, but after such an incident, how could a woman feel good?
"Ling'er, your mother will be fine at the Jiang residence. You can focus on your business. Once you've handled things at the Crown Prince's residence, we'll leave together."
This was the first time Du Caiyue had spoken to Hailing in this way, and Hailing was very gratified, knowing that her mother was doing all this for her sake.
Since her mother had agreed, she needed to extricate herself from the Crown Prince's residence as soon as possible, and in a legitimate way at that, so that any future relationship between the royal family and the Jiang family would be none of their concern.
