Chapter 265: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 8
"Please spare my life, my lord. I will never dare to do that again..."
Coriander's shrill and terrified voice came from the steamer. She struggled violently, but unfortunately her body was tied up and there were guards holding her down.
Everyone in the palace came, from the master to the maids and servants, all arrived one after another, looking at the scene in front of them with expressions of fear.
Xuanyuan Cheng was dressed in a black brocade robe, his face was stern, and his eyes revealed unquestionable majesty and indifference.
The guards Dongfeng and Nanfeng stood quietly behind him.
"Master, everyone is almost here."
Dongfeng stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"let's start."
Xuanyuan Cheng opened his eyes and looked at the steamer in front of him, his eyes calm and calm as he said indifferently.
Dongfeng nodded slightly, walked to the steamer, turned around and faced everyone.
He said loudly: "The palace has always been a place with strict rules. Please watch your mouths. You should know what to say and what not to say. Look carefully, this is the fate of gossiping and slandering the prince."
Seeing the fear on everyone's faces, Dong Feng's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He glanced at the guards beside him and ordered in a cold voice: "Begin the execution."
"No...Please spare my life, my lord. I won't dare to do it again. Please, just spare me."
Coriander struggled more and more violently, her voice was extremely shrill, and she was struggling to death.
But no one paid any attention.
The air was filled with suffocating fear and despair. Everyone in the palace was silent, their hearts filled with fear of Xuanyuan City's methods.
The flames under the steamer grew stronger and stronger. The two guards covered the steamer, completely covering up Coriander's figure.
The miserable screams kept coming out from the steamer, making people tremble with fear.
Wu Lingyan’s face was pale, she bit her lips tightly, and her expression was terrified.
Yu Yao looked miserable, and felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet and going straight to her heart.
Looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but think of herself.
She couldn't imagine how Xuanyuan Cheng would treat her if he knew that she was a killer carefully trained by the Western Regions and came to Jing Country just to kill him?
Although she had never thought of killing Xuanyuan Cheng, these were indeed the facts.
Seeing that her face looked bad, Xiangling thought her master was afraid. In fact, she was also very scared, so scared that her legs were shaking.
"Master, if you are afraid, don't look at it."
Xiangling spoke to her in a low voice, afraid that others might hear.
Yu Yao glanced at her and saw that her face was pale. She was obviously very scared, but she still tried to comfort herself. Warmth appeared in her eyes and she said softly, "I'm fine."
Xiangling opened her mouth but said nothing.
As the flames under the steamer burned fiercely, the air was filled with not only the aroma of meat, but also an invisible sense of oppression, which made everyone present hold their breath and not dare to move in the slightest.
Xuanyuan Cheng watched all this quietly, as if he was unmoved by the tragedy before him.
His eyes inadvertently swept over Yu Yao, and saw that she was pale, looked sad, and frowned slightly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
He raised his hand gently and instructed Nan Feng: "Send her back and don't let her see it."
Nan Feng followed his master's gaze and saw Yu Yao and Xiang Ling.
He knew that the person his master was referring to could not be Xiangling.
"Yes."
He responded respectfully, walked up to Yu Yao, and said politely: "Miss Yu, the master asked you to stop looking and ordered me to take you back."
Yu Yao's face didn't look good. She looked at Nan Feng in front of her and nodded slightly, "Thank you."
Then he took Xiangling's hand and walked away.
She brought Xiangling back on purpose. If the girl continued watching, she would probably not be able to sleep at night.
Anyway, Xuanyuan City didn’t say that it’s forbidden to bring the maid back.
Xiangling followed Yu Yao swiftly, not wanting to stay at the execution ground for a moment.
Looking at Yu Yao's departing back, everyone was talking about it.
"It seems that the prince really treats Miss Yu differently. It's really enviable."
"Yes, we are also the prince's women, why can she get the prince's pity?"
Envy and jealousy quietly spread in the backyard.
Wu Lingyan had no intention of being jealous of Yu Yao at the moment. She was already frightened and her face was completely pale.
If she hadn't insisted on doing so, she would have probably fallen to the ground.
Back at Fangfei Garden, Yu Yao sat alone in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside that was dyed green by the spring light, her heart filled with waves.
She never thought of hurting Xuanyuan Cheng, nor did she ever intend to kill him.
But the identity of this Western Region assassin was like a shackle that bound her tightly. Although she had taken the antidote and had no relatives in the Western Region, there was nothing that could threaten her.
But Yu Yao knew that the Western Region Royal Court would not let it go.
As long as Xuanyuan Cheng is still alive, those people will come to her sooner or later and urge her to take action.
Of course, she couldn't do it, but if she did, she would become a traitor to the Western Regions.
By then, Xuanyuan City will definitely know her true identity.
It was a dilemma. What should she do then?
Just then, Xiangling gently pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bowl of soothing soup in her hand. Seeing her like this, he was filled with worry.
"Girl, what's the matter with you? You haven't said a word since you came back from the execution ground."
Xiangling placed the calming soup on the table and asked worriedly.
Yu Yao came back to her senses, looked up at Xiang Ling, and forced a smile, "Nothing, just a little tired."
Xiangling didn't know what was on her mind, she just thought she was frightened, so she comforted her, "Miss, the prince treats you differently, and he specially sent Nanfeng to bring you back today, isn't it because he was afraid that you would be frightened?"
Yu Yao had mixed feelings. The more differently Xuanyuan Cheng treated her now, the more he would hate her after learning the truth.
The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred, but Xuanyuan City happened to be the target of her mission.
She didn't know how to explain her true identity and situation, and of course she couldn't say it.
She shook her head gently and sighed, "Xiangling, you don't understand. In this palace, where is there any real difference or preference?"
Xiangling was even more puzzled and asked doubtfully: "Miss, are you worried about something? You might as well tell me, maybe I can help you with some of your worries."
"I'm fine. Didn't you make some soothing soup? Give it to me."
Yu Yao didn't want to talk about this anymore and changed the subject.
"Ok."
Seeing her like this, Xiangling didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly handed her the calming soup she had prepared.
Yu Yao reached out and took the calming soup that Xiangling handed over. It was not very hot and was just right for drinking.
She tilted her head back and drank it all, then handed the bowl to Xiangling.
As night fell, Xuanyuan Cheng walked into the study. In the flickering candlelight, his face looked particularly profound.
Suddenly, Yu Yao's sad and frightened face flashed through his mind and he frowned slightly.
He summoned Nan Feng and asked in a low voice, "How is Fangfei Garden doing?"
Nanfeng knew that his master treated Miss Yu differently, so he paid more attention to her.
Seeing the master asking about it, he hurriedly said, "Miss Yu was a little frightened at first, and she didn't look very well, but she has taken the tranquilizing soup, so she should be fine now."
Xuanyuan Cheng nodded indifferently. He was not a heartless person, but sometimes he had to wear a cold mask.
In Fangfei Garden.
It was already late at night, Yu Yao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She began to think about her future. Should she continue to hide her identity and conquer Xuanyuan City from the Prince Qin's Mansion, or should she look for an opportunity to get rid of her identity as a killer and leave here completely?
As for how to capture Xuanyuan City after leaving the Prince Qin's Mansion, we can only take it one step at a time.
It's better than being discovered by the other party and losing your life.
When Xiangling heard the noise in the room, she knew that the girl was so scared that she couldn't sleep.
In fact, she was also too scared to fall asleep, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed up so late.
Now, whenever she closed her eyes, she could see the scene of Coriander lying in the steamer, crying in despair, and the lingering smell of meat.
God knows, she doesn’t dare to eat meat today. She feels sick at the sight of meat.
"Miss, if you are afraid, how about I let this servant come in and talk to you."
Xiangling stood at the door and spoke through the door.
"I'm fine, go to sleep."
The sound came from inside the house.
Inside the room, Yu Yao was lying on the bed, thinking that Xiang Ling might be too scared to sleep, and hurriedly changed her words, "Forget it, come in and sleep with me."
Anyway, there are only two of them in the entire Fangfei Courtyard.
She is not even a concubine now, so naturally there won't be many people serving her.
"Thank you girl."
Xiangling was standing outside the house. When she heard the girl's words, she pushed the door and walked in.
The master and servant slept together.
Since then, there has been no more noise and gossip in the backyard of the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
The maids and servants all kept their lips tightly shut, fearing that they would accidentally follow in Xiangcai's footsteps.
