In the silent Imperial Palace, the palace maids had long since retreated, leaving only a few clusters of candlelight burning like blazing suns on the verge of collapse under the urging of the bright wind.

Ye Shishuang lied on top of the imperial concubine's shack and closed his eyes to rest. The past was like the wind, going back and forth in his mind, but he still couldn't get rid of it.

Suddenly, the fragrance of plum blossoms wafted into her nose. The candlelight in the room dimmed a bit, and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes appeared by her side.

"You finally came."

Ye Shishuang slowly opened her fluttering eyelashes. Her tone was neither salt nor light, as if she had known this beforehand.

"Isn't this what you were expecting, aunt?"

Bai Zhixi indifferently replied as he sat down on a chair to the side.

Lifting his eyes, he looked at Ye Shishuang lazily lying on the low collapse like a noble and elegant Persian cat.

This female crowd was so large that no one dared to underestimate them. No wonder they were able to dominate the harem.

"Since Xi Er has said this, Aunt can just take it as you praising me. Tsk tsk, I never thought that you would actually look identical to my ancestor. No wonder you possess the physique of a Phoenixis Maiden that is rarely seen in a hundred years. "

Ye Shishuang walked in front of her, held her head up and observed carefully. Her eyes that were as clear as fresh water were imprinted with the reflection of Bai Zhixi. The seductive red plum blossomed seductively between her brows, giving her a few traces of charm.

Wasn't this nonsense? The phoenix bead sound was from her mother, so she definitely looked the same.

Bai Zhixi had a smile on his face, but in his heart, he could not help but scold Ye Shishuang.

"Xi Er, let's not beat around the bush, Aunt needs blood bead to help me unify the world, and complete our responsibilities as the Phoenixis Maiden. I believe Xi Er will give me the blood bead for the mission the Phoenixis Maiden, right?"

Ye Shishuang intimately pulled her, her laughter was sweet, and her words revealed the righteousness of her being a nation and its people.

Bai Zhixi quietly listened to Ye Shishuang talking about her great plans, her clear eyes filled with a faint smile, both respect and ridicule.

However, she had to admit that Ye Shishuang was indeed a miraculous girl. It was just that she was extremely ambitious and wished to swallow the world whole.

"Aunt, a woman is weak, but a mother is strong. I know you want to find a path for your cousin. Now that you are the empress of a nation and cousin brother Ye is also the crown prince of a nation of Xi Liang, it is natural for you to assume the throne. As for the competition of the world, it was a competition of strength. If cousin relies on you to rule the world, and wait a hundred years for you to return to the West, will cousin cousin be able to resist the enemies that you have killed? "

It was known to the world that the empress of Xi Liang was a cruel, merciless, and extraordinary woman. But her son, Mo Feiye, was a genuine popinjay.

All of the more beautiful daughters of the Shangguan family were given by Ye Shishuang to Mo Feiye to be his concubines. Mo Feiye, on the other hand, did not see the popinjay who did not change. He was ruthless and merciless.

The young ladies of the Shangguan family who were forced to leave would be tortured to death by him if they showed even the slightest sign of not wanting to in front of the heavens.

When Mo Feiye was mentioned, the citizens of Phoenix City dared not to speak out in anger, and could only obediently endure his persecution.

"Impudent, you dare to talk about our Crown Prince. Do you know how miserable your mother was when she died? That's something you can't imagine. Also, you better obediently hand over the blood bead. If he was caught by Hua Wuxie and the others, they had to know that Hua Wuxie was lacking a body. Could it be that you want to see Hua Wuxie and Jun Mohan getting intimate with each other? Xi Er, Aunt's actions are all for your sake. "

Ye Shishuang was unable to contain her rage, her eyes blazing with fire, her long jade hands grabbing onto Bai Zhixi's lower jaw, she coldly said.

Bai Zhixi knew that this woman in front of him had to keep her word. And what Hua Wuxie wanted was her, blood bead and her body were probably both his.

"Didn't Aunt know? The blood bead had already been taken out by me to save Jun Mohan. How can I be a Phoenixis Maiden without a blood bead? "

Bai Zhixi raised his head, his face pale and powerless as bean-sized sweat flowed down his ears, drop by drop, in an attempt to divert Ye Shishuang's attention.

Ye Shishuang had actually left a Hundred Days of fragrances in the room, a type of poison that could draw out Phoenixis Maiden's blood bead. The infected people had to strip the blood bead off their body within a hundred days, otherwise, they would die from the destruction of the bead.

She thought that no matter how vicious Ye Shishuang was, he would still act on account of their kinship and wait for her consideration. Unexpectedly, her goal was not the blood bead, but to kill her.

At that time, with her blood, the blood bead's spirit energy would be opened and everything in the world would be in her hands.

Her head felt dizzy as she looked at Ye Shishuang, who was becoming more and more blurry. It was as if she was being bitten by ants in her heart, causing her entire body to tremble in pain.

"Xi Er, Aunt said that as long as you obediently took out the blood bead, Aunt would leave you with an intact corpse. Remember at all times, do you have the lives of hundreds of millions of citizens in Southern Frontier in your hands? Could it be that you have the heart to just watch as they are mercilessly massacred? "

Even when Bai Zhixi was in a daze, he could still hear Ye Shishuang's bloodthirsty voice tapping on her heartstrings.

Yeah, she can't die yet, she still wants to retrieve the Southern Frontier's Imperial Jade Seal.

"I promise you!"

Bai Zhixi grabbed Ye Shishuang's hand, endured the stinging pain on his body, gritted his teeth, and asked while trembling.

"That's more like it!"

Ye Shishuang held her shoulders and held an exquisite little porcelain bottle close to her nose. A sweet smell entered her nose, waking every cell in her body.

That powerless yet fiery headache disappeared without a trace, and he became extremely clear-headed.

"However, I have a condition. You also know that Hua Wuxie has escaped Demon Subduing Mountain, I must reseal his seal so that he won't harm the common people. Now that I'm weak, I need to find a descendant from the seven great families to assist me in order to resist Hua Wuxie. Aunt, it actually helped you. If I seal Hua Wuxie, you will be able to peacefully rule the world, won't you, Aunt? So, I want Aunt to go with me to find the descendants of the seven great families, it'll be beneficial for us at that time, won't it? "

A bright red blood bead hung by the corner of Bai Zhixi's mouth, beads of perspiration could be seen on his pale white face.

Ye Shishuang was too suspicious. If she did not speak of her plan, she might not be able to leave the palace tonight.

Her actions, were to dispel Ye Shishuang's doubts. In the future, when he was on his way to find the seven noble clans, she wouldn't stop him.

"Xi Er, Aunt hopes that you can keep your promise. Aunt doesn't want to see that beautiful face of yours being eaten away bit by bit by the fragrances of the Hundred Day Remnants, just like your mufei. "

Ye Shishuang stood up and kept the bottle in her bosom, the corners of her mouth raised, and cold words flowed out from her lips.

Being able to get rid of Hua Wuxie was something she was happy for, as she would definitely not hold back anything to help Bai Zhixi seal Hua Wuxie.

Suddenly, she thought of Hua Wuxie's Black Skeleton that she was afraid of. She felt a chill in her heart, and shock was written all over her face.

If a person could not kill himself, then she, Ye Shishuang, would not be willing to be mediocre.

Hearing the last sentence, Bai Zhixi became anxious, as a mouthful of blood rushed up his throat and he forcefully spat out a mouthful.

"It's already deep into the night, hurry up and come out to help your young miss go back! Remember, come and get the antidote from me on the eighth day of each month. If you do not hand over your blood bead within the last month, you will die after being destroyed and the people of this world will accompany you in death. "

Ye Shishuang glanced at the fiery-red figure on the ceiling and sneered. Then, he got up and walked towards Mo Nanxuan's study.

"Miss, how are you?"

Seeing Ye Shishuang walking far away, Hong Mei and Green sandalwood, who were hiding on the house beams, flew to Bai Zhixi's side like a gale, and asked him with eager eyes.

When Bai Zhixi poisoned them from the north, the two of them originally wanted to come and save him, but they did not want to be bound by a mysterious power, so no matter how they struggled, it was of no avail.

They could only watch as Bai Zhixi suffered and listened to Ye Shishuang's arrogant words.

"It's fine, let's go!"

Bai Zhixi glanced at it indifferently, and the scent of the Hundred Day Fragrance still lingered on his clothes. The poison Gu was tenacious, her body felt like it had been removed from her finger bones, soft and weak.

Hong Dan and Lu Tan's faces were also deathly pale, as they supported her on the left and right as they walked towards the door.

She had originally wanted to take advantage of Jun Mohan's coma to explore the path of the imperial palace. She hadn't wanted to be discovered by Ye Shishuang, and she had even planted a poison Gu on her without anyone noticing.

Although she had been immune to poisons ever since she was young, she was still the nemesis of the Phoenixis Maiden.

"We must not let anyone know about what happened tonight."

"Yes, Miss!"

Just as he was about to leave, Bai Zhixi ordered him coldly.

It wasn't that she didn't trust these subordinates of hers, but that she was afraid that a single person would always be careless. She was afraid that these pure and innocent girls would be taken advantage of.

It was no exaggeration to say that if the world knew about her Heavy Poison Gu, those people would definitely take advantage of this time to kill her and snatch her blood bead.

This action undoubtedly helped the great devil, and when the time came, the world would fall into war, and the people would leave their homes and suffer greatly.

Didn't she fail to live up to her mother's trust?

Tonight, although Ye Shishuang had poisoned her, he had also helped her. With Ye Shishuang as the grasshopper on the rope, things would be much easier to do. Furthermore, without her occasional ambush, she would have more energy to look for the descendants of the seven great families.

Hong Dan and Yue Shan looked at each other, and nodded quietly. The two of them were very clear about the pros and cons of this.

On the third day, Jun Mohan woke up.

Silently moving like a rabbit, Jing Rui's cheeks were slightly red, the corners of her mouth were upturned, as if she was having a beautiful dream.

He did not expect the backlash that Feng Zhenren spoke of to be so great that it almost took half of his life.

When he heard that Bai Zhixi was going to the palace, which only ate people and did not puke their bones, the fear in his heart surged once again.

The memory of being sealed away lingered in his mind, but he could not grasp it.

In the secret room of the manor, he circulated his energy in an attempt to break through the phoenix tribulation and recover his memories.

He did not expect that the blood bead that had awoken from its slumber would receive a backlash from the blood bead because he did not understand the secret language. It had absorbed more than half of his power.

If Elder Iron hadn't arrived in time, he would've long since returned to the west, never to see the person he dreamed of day and night again.
