Taking the initiative? An Wenxi's mind went blank. She had been drugged last night and she couldn't remember what had happened. Could it be…
"I liked your performance last night, little vixen.”Beigong Zhe planted a kiss on the tip of her nose.
An Wenxi ran away in a panic. She turned over to a corner and stared at Beigong Zhe warily. Who knew that he would turn off the lights and stop moving.
An Wenxi was afraid that he would do something to her while she was asleep, so she stayed vigilant the entire night. She only fell asleep when it was almost dawn. When she woke up again, Beigong Zhe was no longer by her side. Huan Liang helped her out of bed and asked,""Princess, did Beigong Zhe take advantage of you last night?”
An Wenxi shook her head.
"Anyway, that Beigong Zhe doesn't have any good intentions.”Huan Liang said angrily," Last night, Young Master Yu went to Feng Qing Xuan to look for you."”
She was suddenly brought into the palace and had not had the time to tell him. She was afraid that she would disappoint him last night.
"While Beigong Zhe was on the expedition, he tried to insert our people into the palace.”
"Yes, Princess." Huan Liang hesitated." Aunt Hua said that there is a shortcut to revenge…"
"I know." An Wenxi pursed her lips." But…I can't do it."”
She couldn't fawn over Beigong Zhe, nor could she use her body to please Beigong Zhe!
" Aunt Hua said that Beigong Zhe still has feelings for the princess…"
"Enough, Huanliang. Don't mention this kind of thing again in the future.”An Wenxi interrupted her.
Huan Liang immediately knelt on the ground and said," I know I was wrong. I don't want the princess to suffer like this!"”
"Get up." An Wenxi glanced outside the palace. Today, there were many more imperial guards outside the Qiong-Hua Palace. Yesterday, Concubine Rou was imprisoned. Today, no one dared to approach Qiong-Hua Palace.
This kind of life lasted for seven consecutive days. Every day, he and Beigong Zhe would face each other day and night. They would eat at the same table during the day and sleep on the same bed at night. It was not until Empress Dowager Cao left for the North Palace that the guards outside the Qiong-Hua Palace relaxed. An Wenxi immediately understood Gong Zhe's abnormal behavior these days.
Ha…He was actually protecting her. How laughable.
Her hands were almost fully recovered. While Beigong Zhe was in court, she quietly pulled the mechanism under her pillow, and a pathway instantly appeared under the bed.
She handed one of the Listening Stones to Huan Liang and stuffed the other into her ear." If Beigong Zhe comes, tell me in advance."”
"Tonight is the full moon. Have you thought it through?”
The man slowly raised his head, looking even more haggard than last time." I've already said that dragon souls don't exist in this world.”
"Is that so?" Beigong Zhe walked closer to him." Or did you use it on An Wenxi?”
The man's face turned pale when he heard this, and a hint of disbelief appeared in his eyes. This sentence was like a poisonous snake that entangled him tightly.
" Ha…" Beigong Zhe's lips curled into a smile. He was just testing the waters. He didn't expect it to be true.
"What do you want?" An Molin stared at Beigong Zhe warily and suddenly laughed." The dragon soul is in Xi 'er's body, but it has long turned into blood and fused with her bloodline. You can't take it out!”
"What about the second piece?" Beigong Zhe's malicious eyes glared at him," There are a total of three pieces of dragon's soul in the Nine Provinces, all of which belong to Great Xia. Back then, when the palace rebelled, Chu Moxuan took one piece away. The remaining two pieces should be in your hands.”
Before he could speak, Beigong Zhe continued,""Back then, you didn't use it to resurrect Empress Yu because Empress Yu's corpse was destroyed.”
A look of shock flashed across An Molin's eyes. He had found out about such a secretive matter back then!
" Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. I did have two pieces of dragon's soul. One saved Xi 'er, and the other disappeared.”
"Oh?" Beigong Zhe's obsidian-like eyes had an indecipherable expression." He hasn't gone missing for so many years?”
An Molin shook his head." That woman is here, right? I can smell her."
"Ha…you're sensitive. With zhen here, she can't find you!”Beigong Zhe curled his lips.
"Beigong Zhe, let Xi 'er go. What you want is the Nine States, and what she needs is stability.”
Beigong Zhe heard the sound of footsteps not far away. He reached out and placed his hand on the wall. The stone wall that bound An Molin slowly retreated. The stone doors on both sides closed, covering the scene behind the door.
The fire in An Wenxi's hand flickered. It was clearly extinguished, but it was still scorching hot. However, there were gusts of cold wind here, and a sinister chill seeped into the bone marrow.
After she went down the last stone step, the lighter in An Wenxi's hand was finally extinguished. The endless darkness silently drowned her. She leaned against the stone wall and felt her way forward. A wet and slippery feeling came from her palm, like thick blood, making her scalp tingle.
She didn't know how long she had walked for, but the slippery feeling gradually disappeared. Suddenly, a ray of light lit up her eyes. There was an ice coffin in the vast space. Curiosity drove her forward.
"Ah!" She was so shocked that she fell to the ground, not daring to look at the woman in the ice coffin again.
The woman was dressed in white, lying quietly in the ice coffin. Her eyes bulged slightly, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. Her black eyebrows furrowed as if she was enduring immense pain.
Her chest was covered in blood, and there was a palm-sized bloody hole in her chest. It was extremely ferocious and terrifying, and the heart that was originally there was missing! All the arteries had been torn apart. Looking at the wound, it was as if someone had dug out his heart! Dark red blood dyed the woman's white clothes red. Her hands were covered in blood and she clenched them tightly because of the pain.
An Wenxi recognized this person-she was Jiang Xiangwan!
It was said that she and Beigong Zhe were childhood sweethearts. Before Beigong Zhe came to An as a hostage, she was the only woman who was close to him. She accompanied him from a powerless prince of Bei Xiang to the peak of power.
She remembered that she had once held Jiang Xiangwan's portrait and asked him who she was, but he snatched the portrait away and kept it carefully. She knew that Jiang Xiangwan was the woman he had hidden in his heart.
"Are you afraid?" A clear voice came from behind her.
An Wenxi turned around and saw Beigong Zhe walking towards her with an icy expression.
I remember that you are afraid of blood." Beigong Zhe picked her up from the ground and tightly restrained her waist. He pulled her to the side of the ice coffin and forced her to stare at the bloody hole in Jiang Xiangwan's chest.
"Having your heart dug out while you're still alive, even if you die, it'll still be painful.”An Wenxi's entire body trembled as a cold breath blew into her ears. She struggled desperately in Beigong Zhe's arms.
"Look, her eyes." Beigong Zhe tightened his grip on her waist." She died with grievances!”
"Have you forgotten?" Beigong Zhe shook her off forcefully." It was you. You were the one who cruelly dug out her heart!”
Beigong Zhe approached her step by step and locked her down from above. He shouted hysterically,"You are afraid of blood, but you dug out her heart with your bare hands. You said that your heart is very small, so small that it can only hold one of me. Why did you f * cking come with him and tell me that you gave your body and mind to him?”
A familiar face was reflected in his enlarged pupils, and the frosty face was filled with a cold killing intent. Blood stained her right hand, and in her hand was a beating heart. She looked extremely unfamiliar in his eyes.
An Wenxi looked at her right hand in disbelief and fell back." No, that's not me, it's not me!”
"I saw it with my own eyes!" Beigong Zhe pinched her chin fiercely, his deep eyes staring into her eyes as if he wanted to pry into her heart.
"I said it wasn't me!" An Wenxi somehow found the strength to push Beigong Zhe away and stumbled out.
Looking at her staggering footsteps, Beigong Zhe's eyes darkened as he slowly covered the ice coffin with his hands.
"Emperor, the princess said she doesn't remember. Perhaps she really was controlled by someone.”Qing Xuan observed Beigong Zhe's expression and said carefully.
Beigong Zhe looked at Jiang Xiangwan quietly and said after a while,""But, after all, she was the one who killed Wan 'er.”
An Wenxi groped her way out of the secret room. Cold sweat broke out on her back, and the clothes on her back clung tightly to her body, making it difficult for her to breathe.
When Huan Liang saw An Wenxi come out of the secret room in a panic, he exclaimed,""Princess, what's wrong? What happened?"
An Wenxi forced herself to calm down." Huanliang, how's the investigation on the Seven Mile Bridge that I asked Aunt Hua to do half a year ago?" she asked.”
Huan Liang shook his head." We didn't find anything. Someone deliberately erased this matter."”
An Wenxi suddenly looked up at Huan Liang." Huanliang, I dug out Jiang Xiangwan's heart at the Seven Mile Bridge."”The fear on her face gradually faded. This sentence seemed to be describing a normal thing.
"What is it? The princess had dug out her heart. How was that possible?”The princess had been afraid of blood since she was young, let alone digging out someone else's heart in such a sinister way.
"This seems to be the truth." An Wenxi frowned." Who is controlling me?”
"Control? Huan Liang only knew that Nan Zhao had a secret technique called the Puppet Technique. The person controlled would be like a puppet without a mind and would not remember what they had done.”
An Wenxi frowned deeply when she heard that." Huanliang, hurry up and pack up. We're going back to Feng Qing Xuan!"”She used a handkerchief to wipe the wet and slippery skin off her hands.
The room was filled with a faint scent of ambergris. The bright yellow brocade quilt behind the painted screen was pulled neatly. The books on the carved bookshelves were also neatly stacked. The green lamps on the incense table were placed in their original places. Everything was the same as before, as if that woman had never been here. In the huge palace, there was no trace of her aura at all.
"Men, bring that woman back to me!”The green cup in his hand shattered.
