Chu Qingyao saw Unparalleled Young Noble in a spacious house. This was the first time the two of them had met since she came to the Nine Moons Country. A bitter smile hung on his face, "A You, did you not think that I would become a bastard?"

"Wushuang, you are Dongfang Zhengning's flesh and blood. Even if you do not recognize this father, and you still have your mother, you are not a bastard child." Chu Qingyao felt a little sad. This was the first time he saw his star-like eyes dim and lifeless. His entire person was like a blade of grass in late autumn, withered and lifeless.

"A You, Li Lianxue is about to die, but I'm not happy at all. Her son is still the crown prince, and my position isn't affected at all, what about me! If it wasn't for Uncle, I would have died a long time ago in the depths of the palace, being dragged out to feed wild dogs like my mother, or perhaps it would have been easier for me to have been thrown directly into the well, with a big rock on top of me, never to see the light of day. "

When he spoke of this, Unparalleled Young Noble's face was filled with grief and indignation. In an instant, he looked like a lone wolf thrown into a wasteland. He walked towards Chu Qingyao, "And you, Yaoyao, could it be that my relationship with you, is inferior to Dongfang Shun's? You have saved him time and time again, have you forgotten about Wushuang? " He looked desolate, like an abandoned animal.

Yao Yao? This name, someone had once called her. Chu Qingyao was shocked, "Wushuang, what did you call me?"

"Xuanyuan Zhi saw through it long ago. I never thought that you would still not know about it. Unparalleled Young Noble laughed at himself. He took off a thin layer of cloth from his face in front of her, revealing a face that he hadn't seen in a long time. She was feminine and beautiful to the extreme. Chu Qingyao could almost smell the rich fragrance of cold plum blossoms.

Purple Robe Marquis?

"No wonder you insisted on following me." Chu Qingyao felt a little relieved, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

"Yao Yao, it's me. Are you very disappointed? Even if I had changed my identity, even if I was willing to be tricked by Xuanyuan Zhi for your sake, Yao Yao, your heart has never stopped at my place. " The Marquis of Zi Yi pointed at himself, feeling sorrowful and sad. "Yaoyao, why did you save Dongfang Shun? Is it because Hua Qian Yan likes him? "

It was fine if she didn't mention Hua Qianyan, but when she did, Chu Qingyao got angry.

"Marquis of Ziyi, I have yet to settle the score with you regarding Yan Er. I'm so anxious outside that I can't even find the person. Why don't you shut him up and use him however you want? Are you still human? Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you're the Marquis of Ziyi or Wu-Shuang, we won't have anything to say in the future.

Unparalleled Young Noble blinked his eyes, not knowing what the meaning was. Without waiting for him to ask, Chu Qingyao continued, "Spit out the ten thousand taels that your Relieving Pavilion has collected from me. In the future, your Relieving Pavilion won't be able to earn a single cent from me." Taking her silver taels and treating her like a fool, it would be weird if she could take this lying down.

"Yao Yao …"

"Don't call me Yao Yao, call me A You! "Yao Yao is not a name you can call." Chu Qingyao interrupted him, "I, Chu Qingyao, hate it when people treat me like an idiot. You have to avenge my mother, even if you don't have enough manpower, you can just call me for help. But while you play me around, you take advantage of people I care about. Wushuang, I cannot forgive you. "

Unparalleled Young Noble wanted to explain, but he had no way to. He knew that he had overdone it this time. It was because he was too thoughtless and inconsiderate. He opened his mouth and looked at the cold girl before him. The regret in her eyes was clearly seen by Chu Qingyao, but she could not forgive it.

She said, "Wushuang, I took Dongfang Shun's eight million silver for a clinic." With that, he left.

Unparalleled Young Noble caught up, "A You, if I compensate you 10 million gold, we are still friends, alright?"

"Not good." she said angrily.

The friend she wants is simple. I can cut two ribs for you, I can go through fire and water for you, but you can't use and betray me. Using this word made her heart ache. She had once promised Yan Er that she would tie Wushuang up in front of her.

Yan Er, where exactly are you?!

Today was the day that the Empress Li was sentenced to death. Before noon, the execution grounds outside the palace was already packed with people. In this lifetime, being able to witness the death of the emperor of a country with their own eyes caused even more commoners to flock here.

After Chu Qingyao heard the report from Qi Jue, she sat there without moving. Qi Jue asked her, "Royal Concubine, during the execution, Dongfang Yanyue will definitely come. Do you want to take this opportunity to search her shadow palace?"

"Mm, we have to search. As soon as she leaves, you will bring people to search. " Chu Qingyao frowned. Today was the promised day for King Yi to deliver the silver. Who knew when he would come?

"I'll stay behind to protect the wangfei. Just send someone else over there to search." No matter how important Hua Qian Yan was, she was not as important as the Royal Concubine.

Chu Qingyao felt that it would be better to just stay here and wait for the news. Thinking till this point, he could no longer sit still, stood up and walked out, "Seventh Jue, I will go with you to shadow palace."

When she said this, she had already made up her mind that she would take the initiative to take Dongfang Yanyue captive if she couldn't find him. No matter what, she didn't believe that she couldn't pry open her mouth.

But who would have thought that right after leaving the inn, he would meet with King Yi.

She secretly thought that it was not the time for the roasting king to come, so she coldly looked at him. King Yi was not in a good mood these two days. When he saw her come out, he mocked, "I didn't expect Prince Zhi's Concubine to be so impatient. Waiting for the money to come from the outside."

Chu Qingyao's face was filled with displeasure, "Dongfang Zhengyi, Yan Er is missing again, let me cut to the chase. If this time we are still related, even if you take all the Nine Moons Country's treasury and give it to me, I will not be able to save her life." With that, he stretched out his hand, "Have you brought the silver notes? I'm in a hurry. "

Dongfang Zhengyi saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, and said angrily: "Even if Yan Yue is unfilial, she would not cause trouble at this time, have she forgotten that today is the day Li Lianxue is being punished?"

"Li Lianxue isn't anyone on this wangfei's side, yet you're troubling me to remember? I was only giving the Duke a reminder, that Dongfang Yanyue had offended this wangfei once again, and did not say anything more. "

Dongfang Zhengyi sighed, he still felt that Chu Qingyao had wronged Dongfang Yanyue, no matter how headstrong that girl Yan Yue was, it was impossible for her to be with her mother … When Mother was sentenced to death, she took revenge on others. "What a big heart that must be!"

"Prince Zhi's Concubine, no matter how you think, I don't believe that Yan Yue did it. Furthermore, Hua Qian Yan was not a child, and could not be blamed on others every time she went missing. The last time we met with Yan Yue, I did, but this time, this duke will definitely believe it. "

He took a wooden box from his attendant and asked, "Princess, are you preparing to collect the banknotes here?"

Chu Qingyao's face was as cold as frost. Ten million taels was not a small sum, she had to count them in order to be at ease. He turned around and brought King Yi into the tavern, "Seventh Jue, do you have enough count?" Qi Jue called over a few guards and counted the banknotes with him.

King Yi's face darkened as he said in a bad mood, "This king still doesn't know how to give less silver notes."

"This wangfei likes to be a villain and a gentleman." Chu Qingyao smiled, but Dongfang Zhengyi saw that her smile did not reach his eyes. He looked tired, as if he hadn't slept at all the night before.

He couldn't help but slow down his tone. "The wangfei looks tired. Is it because she didn't sleep well last night?"

Qi Jue snorted. He didn't sleep well at all.

"Since Yan Er can't be found, who can sleep?" Chu Qingyao's face was filled with anger. Was she too weak? Under her watch, even Yan Er could disappear without a trace. A cold light flashed past her eyes, right into King Yi's eyes.

He felt as if his chest had been struck by a hammer. It was extremely painful. His gaze deliberately fell on the silver bills. "Prince Zhi's Concubine, how about I make a bet with you?"

"Go ahead." Chu Qingyao was furious, she didn't know what was so good about him.

The King Yi observed her expression and finally said, "If Hua Qian Yan's disappearance this time has nothing to do with Princess Yan Yue, then the wangfei will return all the banknotes today to me. How about it?"

Chu Qingyao's voice turned even colder, "What if it's related?"

"What does the wangfei want?" Dongfang Zhengyi had really not thought about this before. If he were to ask the woman in front of him to compensate him with an additional amount of silver, he would really be unable to say anything.

Chu Qingyao coldly snorted, "If it really has to do with Dongfang Yanyue, then Your Highness only needs to offer 5 million gold." Chu Qingyao's voice contained a hint of coldness, "At the same time, one more thing, I want Dongfang Yanyue's life." He was the one who had made the bet, yet Chu Qingyao had already placed him here.

This bet was unacceptable to King Yi. The warm expression on her face sank. This girl's appetite was too big! The first thing he did was to bet five million gold, which was even more so, and's life.

Was he that incompetent in her eyes?

Chu Qingyao sneered, but didn't say anything. She only looked at the number of banknotes in Seven Extinctions. The King Yi was a little annoyed and said, "As a princess, Yan Yue, this king does not have the right to do so. As for the five million gold that the wangfei mentioned, this king admits defeat and admits that he cannot afford to gamble. "

He spoke confidently, as if he didn't feel the least bit humiliated. Chu Qingyao looked at him a few more times. It would be surprising if he had a little bit of heat in his head and agreed immediately!

After Seven Jue and the rest finished counting the banknotes, no more and no less, it was exactly 10 million gold. Chu Qingyao saw that Dongfang Zhengyi was also preparing to leave, so she left the inn together with him.

"Prince Zhi's Concubine, when are you planning to leave?"

"Find Yan Er and leave." There were so many things waiting for her in the Jingli. If it wasn't for the repeated accidents with Yan Er, she would have left long ago.

"If Princess Hua-Yang leaves in a hurry, Ben Wang won't come to see her off. Princess, take care." King Yi saluted and left with the guards. Chu Qingyao returned to the house and threw the banknotes into the system before heading straight for the Imperial Palace with the Seven Ultimate.

Passing by the execution site, they realized that there was only a pool of blood on the ground. The crowd had dispersed a long time ago. So fast? Chu Qingyao was a little surprised. Immediately, a dark guard ran over. "Royal Consort, I heard that Dongfang Shun and his men have gone to the palace to remonstrate with him.

With regards to Dongfang Zhengning suddenly changing his mind, Chu Qingyao was not surprised at all. After all, Dongfang Shun was still the crown prince, if his mother was tortured in public, how could he, the crown prince, live and live?

"Is Dongfang Yanyue here yet?" she asked.

"She came. It was she who took away Empress Li's corpse but did not bury it. She brought it back to the princess' mansion. I heard that she had to keep watch over her mother's body for three days." The guard replied.

"Have you searched the shadow palace?"
