C187

Inside the imperial study, Xuanyuan Zhiling was standing in front of a table. Below the stage was his trusted aide Qiu Shangjing, because he remembered what Qiu Shangjing had said when they were inviting a group of officials.

Xuanyuan Zhiling did not expect Qiu Shangjing's words to actually come true.

"Qiu Shangjing, looks like you were right, Xuanyuan Mocheng really escaped."

At this moment, he did not know whether he should be happy or angry. If Xuanyuan Mocheng was able to escape, then it would mean that Qin Feng would have someone to protect him.

After Qiu Shangjing heard this, he sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"But Your Majesty, we don't have any clues as to how to capture Xuanyuan Mocheng. We're really too passive."

Qiu Shangjing was a little worried, and when he spoke, he was also a little dejected.

"What I'm most worried about right now is the empress's situation. If the empress were to lose a single strand of hair, I'll kill them all no matter what I have to do!"

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said till here, killing intent quickly flashed past his eyes.

Such an expression made even Qiu Shangjing, who had been following Xuanyuan Zhiling for many years, scared to the point that his entire body trembled, because he realised that Xuanyuan Zhiling was planning to kill him again. If Xuanyuan Mocheng were to land in the emperor's hands again, he would definitely die.

"This humble subject thinks that Xuanyuan Mocheng should have died a long time ago, it's just that the emperor has always cared about his brotherly feelings and did not do anything, but now it has become a great disaster."

Qiu Shangjing was not without reason as he faintly nodded his head.

"Your majesty, but how should we find Xuanyuan Mocheng now?"

Qiu Shangjing frowned slightly. The usually very intelligent Qiu Shangjing had also lost his mind on this matter.

"It seems that Qiu Aiqing forgot about one person."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, as a complex expression flashed past his face.

Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression, Qiu Shangjing's brows slightly knitted, and a person quickly flashed past his mind.

"The Emperor is talking about Wen Yahan?"

Qiu Shangjing quickly thought of this person. She hadn't seen him since the last time Xuanyuan Zhiling locked her in the dungeon, and now he could finally be of use.

"But Your Majesty, this person is already a useless cripple. Can Soaring Wind Kingdom still believe her? What do we want her for? "

Qiu Shangjing stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling's face with a complicated expression.

"Of course it's useful. Although this Wen Yahan is no longer a princess of Soaring Wind Kingdom, he has a lot of secrets about Soaring Wind Kingdom. Using her might be able to attract Xuanyuan Mocheng over."

After Xuanyuan Zhiling finished speaking, Qiu Shangjing nodded in understanding.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject understands."

After Qiu Shangjing finished, he left, leaving behind the solemn Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Inside Xuanyuan Zhiling's secret underground prison, Wen Yahan sat on top of a straw mat. Ever since she had been locked up by Xuanyuan Zhiling, she had been cursing Xuanyuan Zhiling everyday and the entire imperial government.

She hated, hated that Xuanyuan Zhiling had played with her feelings, and hated even more that she did not have the life of an empress.

Thus, when Wen Yahan heard the words "the emperor driving", not only was she shocked, she was also filled with hatred.

"It's you?" I thought you had completely forgotten about me. "

When Wen Yahan saw Xuanyuan Zhiling, not only did she not kneel down and pay respects to him, she had even said it with a mocking expression.

It was because of this point that Wen Yahan was so arrogant and proud.

"Of course not, my princess."

Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed coldly with a complicated expression.

"I'm not some princess anymore, is there any meaning in your words now?" "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Wen Yahan let out a cold laugh. The current her was no longer that beautiful princess, but a prisoner with disheveled hair and a dirty face, who went insane every day.

"I'm here to take you out. I'll let you continue to live a good life, but on one condition."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said, his eyes staring straight at Wen Yahan.

"What condition?" No matter what condition it is, I agree to it. I don't want to stay here anymore. "

Since Wen Yahan had been in prison, she had been thinking about leaving every single day, even every single minute. Thus, after hearing Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, she agreed without any hesitation.

"I want you to listen to my plans and not play any tricks. Otherwise, I will definitely be the first to kill you and even make you die without a burial ground."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said coldly, his eyes actually filled with killing intent.

"Hmph, even though it's a lot of conditions, you're still lying to me that it's a condition."

Wen Yahan raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, a dangerous aura quickly flashed past her eyes. But the current Wen Yahan was already in prison, so even if she hated Xuanyuan Zhiling to the core, what could she do to the current emperor?

In order to leave this place, Wen Yahan could be said to be willing to agree to anything.

"Speak, what do you need my help for?"

Wen Yahan frowned slightly. She knew that this was a serious matter and if not, Xuanyuan Zhiling would never ask her, a prisoner on death's door, to help him.

Xuanyuan Zhiling ordered for people to unlock the iron lock and release Wen Yahan, who then proceeded to stand next to Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"I am looking for you because Xuanyuan Mocheng, you are the one who understands the situation of Soaring Wind Kingdom the best. This is also the reason why I want you to stay."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's thoughts were extremely meticulous, he had long known that there would be a day when Wen Yahan would be of use to him, and it was precisely for this reason that he did not kill Wen Yahan back then.

Hearing that, Wen Yahan smiled, it was a smile filled with bitterness, she did not expect her intelligence in this life to be toyed with by Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"Humph, it seems like I am unable to win against you. Right now, I still need you to release me."

Wen Yahan said coldly, as a trace of faint coldness passed between her brows.

"I've already said that I can release you, but you have to listen to my arrangements."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said coldly with determination in his eyes.

Wen Yahan did not say much and only nodded her head lightly.

"But you have to tell me what I'm going to do for the emperor this time, right?"

Wen Yahan said indifferently, but a complex look still flashed past her eyes.

Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Wen Yahan and smiled, as if he had seen through Wen Yahan, but there was something strange about her smile.

"Can I still trust you?" "You are such a cunning and deceitful person, do you really think I would use you unless I had no other choice?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's words allowed him to understand the seriousness of the situation.

"But right now, if the Emperor doesn't believe me, who else can he trust?"

Wen Yahan knew that only he could help Xuanyuan Zhiling, so she was naturally a lot more relaxed now.

Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed indifferently, after that, his eyes flashed with a cold glint.

"Alright, but if you dare play any tricks on me, I'll definitely cut you to death with a thousand cuts. Do you understand now?"

Saying that, killing intent swept past Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes.

"Is the emperor threatening me?" "But you must know that your little life is all in my hands."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said coldly, causing Wen Yahan's back to involuntarily feel a wave of coldness.

"Alright, I'll help you. As long as you can stop me from living in this dark and damp prison, I just hope that I won't suffer anymore."

Wen Yahan said in a craving tone. This was the true feeling of Wen Yahan.

"Hmph, someone, entertain the princess well and then temporarily live in the Purple Palace. Everything needs to be arranged well, otherwise, we will chop off your heads!"

Xuanyuan Zhiling ordered coldly, and when all the palace maids and eunuchs heard this, they naturally did not dare to neglect it in the slightest. This Wen Yahan had once again become a wealthy princess.

"Princess? I have not been a princess of Soaring Wind Kingdom for a long time now, have I not? "

When Wen Yahan said this, her eyes quickly flashed a look of sorrow, and the corner of her mouth also carried a hint of bitterness. Thinking back to everything that had happened, she couldn't help but feel a bit heavy.

But Xuanyuan Zhiling sneered coldly.

"We didn't say that you are a princess of Soaring Wind Kingdom, but that you are about to become a princess of Phantom Fire Kingdom, and that we will immediately bestow upon you the title of imperial sister. In that case, wouldn't you be a princess of Phantom Fire Kingdom?"

At this point, Wen Yahan was already extremely shocked.

"What did you say?" You want to bestow me the title of the princess of Phantom Fire Kingdom? "

Wen Yahan was extremely shocked, because she never thought that she would become the princess of Phantom Fire Kingdom. From then on, she knew that Xuanyuan Zhiling was her lifesaver, and if she really became the princess again, then all the glory and riches would come back to her, and she would have even more power and influence than the princess of Soaring Wind Kingdom.

Seeing Wen Yahan's shocked expression, Xuanyuan Zhiling smirked.

"Don't be so shocked. This princess isn't conferred with you for nothing. You must do something for me. Otherwise, not only can I take away your position as princess, I can even kill you."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said coldly, and a wave of gloominess swept past his expression.

Hearing Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, Wen Yahan faintly nodded her head. At this moment, Wen Yahan had already decided to listen to everything Xuanyuan Zhiling said, because only then would she continue to enjoy the glory of being rich.

"I know, I am definitely going to be the princess, everything will be under your control, brother."

Saying that, Wen Yahan laughed faintly, the smile carrying a bit of deeper meaning.

Hearing Wen Yahan's words, the corner of Xuanyuan Zhiling's mouth hooked up into a cold smile. It was at this time that the servants brought Wen Yahan away, and prepared to settle him down, and accept Xuanyuan Zhiling's bestowment.

Xuanyuan Zhiling stood behind Wen Yahan, watching Wen Yahan being escorted away by a group of servants. He knew that this time, if he really caught Xuanyuan Mocheng, he would not be able to let him off so easily.

Sighing lightly, Xuanyuan Zhiling also walked out of the dungeon.

Very quickly, Wen Yahan had already changed from her unkempt appearance into a set of luxurious attire and stood in front of Xuanyuan Zhiling. Dressed in a silken gauze, with two red lips, and a smile that was like flowers, Wen Yahan looked completely different.

"How is it? Is brother satisfied? "

Wen Yahan was not the least bit polite, and kept referring to Xuanyuan Zhiling as brother. It seemed that he had long been treated as Xuanyuan Zhiling's royal sister, and as the true princess of Phantom Fire Kingdom.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling carefully sized up Wen Yahan's attire, and nodded: "However, we have one thing to remind you of, even though you are our royal sister to outsiders, we are actually just cooperating, so it's best for you to know."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's meaning could not be more obvious, it was to not recognize Wen Yahan as her royal sister. Hearing what was said, Wen Yahan only faintly smiled, and did not say anything more.

Just then, Xuanyuan Zhiling walked down, and arrived in front of Wen Yahan, his eyes staring straight at him.

Taking advantage that Wen Yahan wasn't paying attention, Xuanyuan Zhiling pinched Wen Yahan's chin and threw a small pill into Wen Yahan's mouth.

After a series of intense coughs, Wen Yahan still swallowed the pill.
