With everything arranged, Ye Lingfeng and Hai Ling stayed at the Ji residence for lunch before leaving for the palace.
Along the way, Hai Ling was very worried and asked Ye Lingfeng twice, "Ye, you've made all the arrangements, please don't let anything happen." She had just seen the little baby, and if anything happened to her, she would be heartbroken.
"I've made all the arrangements, so don't worry. Just stay in the palace and rest assured, I'll take care of everything."
That night, Ye Lingfeng led his men out of the palace and hid outside the Ji residence. He was really worried about other people; Dana Tuko was too cunning. If she escaped again, who knew what kind of trouble she might cause? So eliminating her in one fell swoop was of utmost importance. (Latest chapter of "Peerless Beloved Slave")
But nothing happened that night. Dana Tukor did not appear, not only not at the Ji residence, but also nowhere else.
The entire city of Bianliang is now in a state of panic.
There's no way Dana Tuko'er won't show up, so she must be hiding somewhere enjoying this pleasure. But she'll definitely make her move soon, so all they need to do is be patient.
For several days in a row, Ye Lingfeng left the palace and lurked outside the Ji residence, all in order to capture Dana Tu Ke'er and Feng Zixiao.
Now, as long as Dana Tuko'er and Feng Zixiao are eliminated, everything will be fine. News has spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty that Prince Jing, Feng Zihe, has ascended the throne as the new emperor. As for Feng Zixiao, he seems to have no reaction at all and has not appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This surprised Ye Lingfeng and the others. What happened to Feng Zixiao? Could it be that he has been controlled by Dana Tuko'er?
Five days later, the sky above the Ji residence was cold and desolate.
Tonight, there is no moon, and all around is pitch black. However, lanterns hang between the pavilions and towers of the Ji residence, and the dim light envelops the entire residence, as if draped in a light veil, making the whole mansion look exquisite.
As usual, Ye Lingfeng led his men to hide in the shadows of the Ji residence. He leaned against a tall tree and dozed off. Although he waited here every night, it did not affect him at all. He could lie down and sleep in the tree. Perhaps others could not do this, but he had trained himself to do so since childhood. He could sleep on a branch all night. He could rest anywhere as long as he wanted to sleep.
In the darkness, a sudden commotion arose. A sharp cry rang out from one of the rooms in the Ji residence: "Guards! There's an assassin! There's an assassin!"
As soon as the sound rang out, everyone in the Ji family moved, and the courtyard was filled with light and shadow. However, Ye Lingfeng, Shi Zhu, and the others did not move and waited quietly. Sure enough, they saw someone use a diversionary tactic. First, someone attracted the attention of the Ji family guards and the people in the shadows, and then the real perpetrators escaped under the moonlight. Ye Lingfeng waved his hand and signaled Shi Zhu to release the insect to follow those people out of the Ji mansion.
Dana Tuko'er is cunning and scheming. Knowing that there are guards inside the Ji residence, she still dared to come, simply to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth. She wanted to confront him head-on. The pleasure of killing the newborn child of the Ji residence in front of him was incomparable to killing ordinary children. That's why she came. (The latest chapter of the novel "The King's Peerless Beloved Wife")
However, before she arrived, she set up several disruptive schemes. Even if someone was captured, the newborn child of the Ji family was to be killed. However, she did not expect that the Ji family had a secret room, and Nalan Mingzhu and the newborn child had already been sent into the secret room.
Several figures in the distance quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Ye Lingfeng and the others followed at a discreet distance. They couldn't get too close, and with the little insects leading the way, they weren't worried about these people running away.
However, if you get too close, they will discover you, and all your efforts will be in vain.
Outside the city, in an abandoned, dilapidated temple, people were talking.
"How was it? Did you kill him?"
"Princess, the Ji family has laid a trap, and there are many people in the shadows."
The speaker sounded somewhat discouraged, yet also seemed terrified of Danatuko, hence the slight tremor in his voice.
"I'm asking whether the child was killed or not?"
"The killing attempt failed; the wound was only stabbed."
In Ji Shaocheng's room, the two people, one big and one small, were not Nalan Mingzhu and her newborn daughter at all. However, these people did not know this. Even so, Dana Tuke'er was very angry. Her face was terribly gloomy, and her breathing was very rapid, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow in the dark night.
As soon as Ye Lingfeng and Shi Zhu approached the dilapidated temple, Dana Tu Ke'er noticed the flaw and suddenly asked, "Who goes there?"
As she asked the question, she added, "You were actually being followed. (The latest chapter of Thirty-Six Strategies for Immortal Cultivation)"
Without waiting for anyone to speak or paying attention to his own men, he leaped out through a hole in the wall behind the dilapidated temple. After Ye Lingfeng and Shi Zhu slipped in, the two of them quickly crawled out through the hole and chased after Nadana Tuko'er. Unfortunately, she was very familiar with the place and disappeared after a few turns.
Inside the dilapidated temple, Dana Tuko'er's men's expressions changed drastically upon seeing someone enter. They rushed towards Ye Lingfeng and his group in a flash, while Shi Zhu waved his hand and gave orders to the people behind him.
"Arrest them all."
Several subordinates leaped forward and, after a brief struggle, quickly subdued several of Dana Tuko'er's men. Among them was even Feng Zixiao, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Feng Zixiao's eyes were vacant and unfocused, and his movements were sluggish, clearly indicating that he had been drugged and controlled. Now, facing Ye Lingfeng, he no longer possessed his former high spirits; instead, he appeared lifeless, as if he were a living dead. Not only him, but even the captured subordinates reacted and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Have mercy! Have mercy! It's not our fault! It's not our fault! We don't want to do this, but the princess is controlling us with drugs, forcing us to obey her."
It turns out that Dana Tukor used drugs to control her subordinates, forcing them to obey her orders.
Because she had caused the deaths of all the Green Ants, she was filled with remorse. In the end, her mind became extreme and arrogant, and she felt that she could only vent her anger by slowly killing the people of the Northern Lu Kingdom.
Ye Lingfeng's two subordinates who had rushed out earlier had returned and bowed their heads respectfully: "Master, we failed to catch her and she escaped."
A cold frost instantly settled on Ye Lingfeng's handsome face. If that most vicious woman got away, who knows what might happen next? But that woman was cunning and treacherous; how could she be easily caught?
Shi Zhu looked at the few people kneeling in the dilapidated temple, including Feng Zixiao, and respectfully asked Ye Lingfeng for instructions.
"Master, what should we do with these people? Other readers are currently reading: The Fountain of Life in the Apocalypse (TXT download)."
“Kill him.”
Ye Lingfeng was always a ruthless person, especially towards those who posed a threat to him. These people were under Dana Tuko'er's control, and if they were released now, Dana Tuko'er might come after them again. Besides, they had been drugged, and there was no antidote, so they would ultimately die anyway. Therefore, it was better to die quickly.
Ye Lingfeng gave the order and walked out, ignoring the pleas behind him.
Feng Zixiao remained silent throughout, as the drug Dana Tukoer had given him was quite strong, leaving him completely unconscious. Therefore, he didn't know whether Shizhu would kill him or not.
Inside the dilapidated temple, a flash of light appeared quickly, blood splattered, and in the blink of an eye, there was not a sound.
Feng Zixiao, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, eventually died in a dilapidated temple, and no one knew the reason.
Ye Lingfeng originally intended to leave in a grand manner, but in the end, whether out of pity for an emperor who ended up like this, or for some other reason, he ordered Shizhu: "Bury these people. Also, Feng Zixiao's matter must not be leaked. Not a single word is allowed to be said."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The crowd responded, and Ye Lingfeng left with a few of his men first, while Shi Zhu led the others to stay behind to dig a pit and bury the body.
In Liuyue Palace, Hailing was fast asleep when she suddenly heard the voice of the maidservant Mei at the door: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Get up," footsteps sounded, and Hai Ling woke up with a start. Ye Lingfeng usually didn't come back all night, so why was he so early tonight? Could it be that he had captured Dana Tu Ke'er? Hai Ling opened her eyes and smiled as she looked at Ye Lingfeng entering the palace.
