The sound of bamboo breaking continued, and the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky lit up the dark room from time to time.
Han Yunxi sat at the tea table, staring at the letter in a daze.
Suddenly, someone covered her mouth from behind. She was so startled that she hurriedly shot out a needle, but the person behind her seemed to know her poison techniques very well. Not only did he avoid her hidden needle, he also restrained her other hand that was about to use poison.
She, who didn't know martial arts, would always be at the mercy of an expert's mercy when she encountered a surprise attack. She was in a very bad mood and was too lazy to struggle, so she simply stayed motionless.
Unexpectedly, that person ruthlessly tore off her purple muslin outer garment!
Han Yunxi was caught off guard. When she reacted, her outer garment had already been torn to shreds and thrown to the ground!
She was so shocked that her soul almost left her body! She fiercely struggled, but that person's strength was very great. He firmly restrained her with one hand. He moved close to her ear and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I just want to confirm one thing. I won't hurt you."
Even though the breath by her ear was very warm, this voice still made Han Yunxi couldn't help but shiver.
It's him, Ning Cheng! The head of the Di Clan!
"Bastard, you've already hurt me!" Han Yunxi roared in her heart.
It was summer, so she really couldn't wear undergarments like other girls. She wore a custom-made chest wrap, a camisole, and a purple muslin outer garment.
Now that her outer garment was torn, she was incomparably exposed in front of Ning Cheng.
If this kind of clothing was in modern times, it would be considered normal. But if Long Fei Ye found out, she couldn't imagine how angry he would be.
Very quickly, Han Yunxi returned to her senses.
What kind of situation was this? She actually still cared about Long Fei Ye's reaction.
Would he really mind?
That cold and terrifying face, that pair of monstrous angry eyes, uncontrollably appeared in her mind. At such a critical moment, she actually became absent-minded again.
She really couldn't believe that his previous mind, his previous anger, was all an act.
Long Fei Ye, when will you come? I have to ask you that question face to face!
Han Yunxi quickly regained her senses, but Ning Cheng was stunned!
The news of unknown origin was so detailed that it almost exposed Han Yunxi's background. Everyone was so shocked that they forgot to question it. The various forces in the world naturally wished for the world to be in chaos, and he needed clear evidence!
Chu Yunyi had once told him that any Western Qin orphan born as a girl would have a phoenix birthmark on her back!
He just wanted to tear off Han Yunxi's outer clothes and lift up her inner clothes to see if she really had a phoenix birthmark. But he never thought that under Han Yunxi's outer clothes, there was actually … actually such a camisole.
By now, the calm Ning Cheng had long thrown the phoenix birthmark to the back of his mind. When he met Han Yunxi, his strong self-control seemed to vanish into thin air.
This woman had taken too many of his firsts. The first time he'd been splashed with wine, the first time he'd been cursed at, the first time he'd been distracted by her needles …
This time, it was his first time as well!
This was the first time he'd seen a woman wearing so little. This was the first time he'd held a woman so tightly in his arms. This was the first time he couldn't stop his heart from racing!
He couldn't control his eyes as they swept over Han Yunxi's graceful back and rested on the tube top peeking out from beneath the gauze.
He seemed to know he shouldn't, but couldn't bear to look away. He hesitated again and again.
Suddenly, Han Yunxi viciously stomped down on Ning Cheng's left foot. At the same time, a poison needle emerged from the bottom of her shoe and pierced through Ning Cheng's boot to his left foot.
Ning Cheng finally recovered his senses. Just as Han Yunxi was about to stomp down on him, he used his right knee to push against Han Yunxi's knee socket. In an instant, Han Yunxi fell to her knees. Ning Cheng kept one hand over her mouth and the other bound her hands as he fell to his knees with her.
Han Yunxi struggled desperately and was about to break free from Ning Cheng's grip when Ning Cheng suddenly leaned over and pressed his tall body against hers, forcing her to lie on the ground.
Abominable! Han Yunxi had long cursed Ning Cheng's ancestors in her heart.
She could guess what this guy wanted to do. Didn't he want to see her birthmark to confirm her identity? Weren't the Di Clan and the Nether Clan jackals of the same lair? They wanted to use the orphan of the Western Qin Imperial Family to control the emperor and the nobles!
Han Yunxi's entire body was on the ground. Ning Cheng, that bastard, was actually on top of her, one hand covering her mouth and the other pressing down on her hands that were tied behind her back.
This position wasn't flirtatious at all. It was simply unbearable to look at!
"Ning Cheng, either you kill me, or I, Han Yunxi, will definitely repay you a hundredfold for what you did to me today!" Han Yunxi secretly swore in her heart.
Han Yunxi stopped struggling and waited.
Ning Cheng's hands were busy, so he couldn't tear off her clothes and look at her birthmark. She was going to wait for the poison in his foot to erupt. Let's see who would beg who then!
The poison was called Yi. Once poisoned, one would feel as if they were being burned by a raging fire for a short period of time. Not only would they feel a burning sensation, but their skin would also blister and ulcerate, as if they were being burned by real fire.
If he didn't detoxify it in time, Ning Cheng would become a cripple. This poison could even burn his bones! After experiencing several dangerous situations, Han Yunxi's poison needles were all highly toxic.
The moment the poison needle entered his foot, Ning Cheng knew that he had been poisoned. How could this poisonous woman's golden needles not be poisonous?
How wonderful!
He had spent so much effort searching for the golden needles, but in the end, they pierced his body in such a way.
The burning sensation became more and more real, but he forcibly ignored the fact that the Shadow Guard outside could discover the hole in the roof at any time. He had to confirm Han Yunxi's identity as soon as possible.
He whispered, "Han Yunxi, I don't mean any harm. I just want to see the birthmark on your back. If you are really a descendant of the Western Qin Royal Family, then you are the master of the Di Clan. I am willing to pay the price for my offense today and let you do whatever you want with me. I will let go of you now. Don't speak. Nod your head if you agree. "
Han Yunxi nodded without hesitation. However, just as Ning Cheng let go, she was about to scream. Fortunately, Ning Cheng knew that he was just testing her. He didn't let go of Han Yunxi and covered her mouth in time.
"You didn't keep your word!" Ning Cheng reprimanded.
"Keep my word with you? Can my word be eaten? "Han Yunxi roared in her heart.
Once Ning Cheng saw the birthmark on her back and confirmed her identity as a descendant of the Western Qin Royal Family, would Ning Cheng let her go? Wouldn't Ning Cheng take her to the battlefield, hang up the Western Qin Royal Family's military flag and gather the supporters of the Western Qin Royal Family to fight against the Long Fei Ye?
Of course, she had to scream. Even if the Shadow Guard rushed in and saw her disheveled clothes, she couldn't let Ning Cheng have his way!
Ning Cheng didn't dare to let go of Han Yunxi so easily. The pain in his foot made him dare not delay any longer. He made up his mind and whispered, "Since you don't want to cooperate, then I'm sorry to offend you."
Before Han Yunxi could understand what he meant, Ning Cheng bit his sleeve and tore off a strip of cloth. His hands and mouth worked together to wrap the cloth around her hands. Finally, he freed one of her hands.
Without hesitation, he lifted up the corner of her clothes. Han Yunxi didn't care about shame or chastity. She buried her head on the ground and closed her eyes. Her heart was cold.
Once Ning Cheng kidnapped her, the princess of Western Qin, he could draw out the other forces of the Seven Noble Families. Even people like Chu Tianyin might betray the Long Fei Ye.
When the Long Fei Ye went on a campaign against the Di Clan, the war of revenge would evolve into a decisive battle between the orphans of the Eastern and Western Qin Royal Family!
When the time came, she and the Long Fei Ye would be completely at odds. If she didn't die, then he would!
"Long Fei Ye, will I have the chance to ask that question again?
After parting at Tianshan Mountain, we've become old enemies when we meet again … "
Ning Cheng saw the birthmark. It was light red, like the wings of a phoenix. If he didn't look at it closely, he might not have noticed it.
Ning Cheng was stunned at first, then he smiled foolishly.
In the dim light, he revealed a row of white teeth. His smile was especially beautiful!
It's her! It's really her!
Not long ago, he received the news that Han Yunxi was the descendant of the Western Qin Royal Family. He was stunned for a long time. He couldn't believe his ears.
The woman he tried so hard to kidnap, get rid of, and avenge was actually … actually his master, the one the Di Clan had been searching for for many years. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry! He was so glad that he didn't hurt her. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to blame himself for the rest of his life.
Ning Cheng's excitement was all overflowing in his smile. If his subordinates saw him now, they probably wouldn't recognize him!
Did finding the princess of the Western Qin Royal Family make him so stupid? This wasn't like Ning Cheng at all!
Was he really happy just because she was the princess of the Western Qin Royal Family?
Han Yunxi struggled violently. Only then did Ning Cheng come back to his senses. The first thing he did was to pull up her clothes and take off his outerwear to cover her.
"Princess, this subordinate has finally found you! There are many things that are hard to explain in a few words. Come back with this subordinate, and this subordinate will slowly report! "Ning Cheng's voice became respectful.
Han Yunxi's mouth was still covered, so she could only struggle to protest. Who knew that Ning Cheng would say, "Excuse me," and hit the back of her neck with his palm, causing her to faint.
Ning Cheng's poisoned foot stomped viciously against the ground, causing him so much pain that his three souls and seven spirits were about to scatter. He'd never knit his brows in the past, but this time he was furrowing his brows. Still, he stomped down again and used the momentum to fly out of the hole in the roof with Han Yunxi in his arms.
The fireworks were still going on, but Chu Xifeng and Xu Donglin were still lost in their own thoughts. They didn't notice anything strange about the roof.
Just before daybreak, Chu Xifeng received a letter from His Highness Duke of Qin.
Chu Xifeng's previous letter had been sent to the army, then sent by the Shadow Guard to Long Fei Ye. It took a long time, so it wasn't clear whether the Long Fei Ye had received it or not.
The letter he'd just received wasn't Long Feiye's reply, but something Long Feiye had sent to him after Han Yunxi's identity was exposed.
Chu Xifeng quickly opened the letter, only to see a single line of words. Protect her completely, or else bear the consequences. Your lordship will be there soon.
Chu Xifeng gave a start. Xu Donglin scooted over and blurted out, "His Highness, he … he still wants to protect esteemed wangfei!"
Chu Xifeng slowly turned back to look at Xu Donglin in disbelief. Xu Donglin suddenly rose to his feet and opened the door. He had to explain things to esteemed wangfei!
But when he rushed in, he saw that there was no one inside. Instead, the roof tiles had been moved aside to reveal a large hole!
"Boss! Boss, bad news! "Xu Donglin cried out in fear.
