Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 3 Spying on Each Other
He couldn't figure out Feng Jin, whether she was really angry, or just having a quarrel with him, trying to attract his attention, or someone was trying to sow discord in front of her.

In an instant, Pei Xiu's thoughts had turned thousands of times. He carefully considered his words, and his tone became softer, "I was just too worried, so I offended His Majesty. Please, Your Majesty..."

Pei Xiu's voice stopped abruptly, because he found that when he said these words, Feng Jin had been looking at him coldly, with a mocking and disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth, as if he was waiting to hear some ridiculous words from him.

Those eyes were like cold pools, without any warmth, and they were sizzling with cold air. Even if he was as high and powerful as Pei Xiu, with deep thoughts like Pei Xiu, he shivered inexplicably.

His heart tightened suddenly, and the guess in his heart became clearer.

Her Majesty has changed!It is no longer a chess piece that he holds in the palm of his hand and rubs and manipulates at will!

Pei Xiu didn't know the reason for her sudden change, but he has been in power for several years, wise and decisive, tenacious and calm beyond ordinary people. In just a moment, he accepted the fact that the queen has changed drastically. He will investigate the reasons behind it in the future , the most urgent task is to break the deadlock with the queen.

Pei Xiu lowered his eyes, hiding the sharp light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I am guilty, I will leave now."

After finishing speaking, Pei Xiu bowed slightly and stepped back.

He could feel two cold and sharp rays of light falling on his back, making him feel like a light on his back.

"Minister Pei Xiu, please see Your Majesty."

Pei Xiu stood at the door and said respectfully.

It seemed to be deliberately leaving him alone. After a while, there was a sound of "come in" from the bedroom. Pei Xiu's eyes turned cold, and he lifted the corner of his robe and slumped over the threshold.

"Pei Qing came late at night, do you have something important to report?"

Feng Jin was reclining on the beauty's couch, her posture was laziness, she was flipping through a volume of books, even if Pei Xiu came in, she didn't look up.

Book?
Pei Xiu thought about it, Her Majesty the Empress never reads books!Under his deliberate guidance, Her Majesty only knew how to enjoy herself, and books were the most boring thing for her.

"My minister has received news that someone is going to murder His Majesty, so..."

Feng Jin raised her eyes and glanced at Pei Xiu, a faint smile appeared on her lips, which seemed a bit meaningful, Pei Xiu's voice stopped abruptly.

After just one glance, Feng Jin withdrew her gaze and continued to read the book. In the huge bedroom, there was only the slight rustling of pages being turned.

Pei Xiu's inquiring eyes fell on Feng Jin's book, which was "Great Zhou Chronicles", which contained the territory, city-states, counties, population distribution, and neighbors of the Great Zhou, etc.

This silent leak was long and boring, and soon, Pei Xiu's mind was attracted by Feng Jin's hand.

Under the bright candlelight, those slender and white hands looked even more crystal clear like snow, as clear as jade, and the pale pink nails had a soft luster.

Boneless fingers deftly flipped through the pages of the book. Feng Jin's actions, which were obviously very simple, were graceful and elegant, and somewhat lazy. The tip of the little finger was slightly raised. In this lonely night, It seems to be able to tease people's minds.

"What is Pei Qing looking at?"

Feng Jin's sudden sound made Pei Xiu's heart skip a beat.

He looked away in a panic, and just about to explain, Feng Jin had already said, "If you have nothing else to do, step back."

Pei Xiu looked at Feng Jin in surprise, not understanding why she didn't care about the murder.

Soon, Pei Xiu knew the reason.

When passing the bead curtain, Pei Xiu casually looked in, but found that behind the bead curtain, there were two shadowy people lying on the ground. Judging from their clothes, one was a eunuch and the other was a court lady.

Pei Xiu was startled, and turned her head subconsciously. Feng Jin just happened to raise her head and met his gaze.

The four eyes met, and the dark tide was raging.

The candlelight flickered, casting deep and shallow shadows on her alluring face.

She looked at him, the corners of her lips slowly raised, and said with a half-smile, "This time, Pei Qing came late, next time, come earlier!"

Pei Xiu's expression was gloomy, he was silent for a long time, and then he opened his mouth slowly, his tone was a little sarcasm, "The hidden guards left by the late emperor to His Majesty, I have never seen them on weekdays, but they are still useful at critical moments, Your Majesty should reward them well. "

It turned out that he thought that these two people were killed by the so-called hidden guards, Feng Jin smiled slightly and said nothing, which in Pei Xiu's view was equivalent to acquiescing.

Pei Xiu's eyes turned cold, he looked around the empty bedroom, and said coldly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter will be thoroughly investigated by this minister! Catch the person behind the scenes and cut him to pieces!"

"This matter has been exposed, there is no need to investigate."

Pei Xiu was startled, and looked at Feng Jin suspiciously, but Feng Jin didn't intend to explain, and continued to read the book, Pei Xiu had no choice but to retreat.

As soon as he stepped back, Feng Jin slowly raised his face, his eyes were cold, and there was a sneer on his lips.

Behind the scenes?

Poisoning the emperor is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. If Pei Xiu, a powerful minister of the Zhou Dynasty, is really asked to investigate, it may be another bloody storm to eliminate dissidents!
As for the mastermind behind the crime who was finally convicted, no one knows whether it was really the mastermind behind the scenes, but it must be Pei Xiu's opponent!
Of course, she will ask someone to investigate this matter, but the candidate must not be Pei Xiu!
The windows at the back were not closed tightly, and a ray of cold night wind blew on the back, so cold that Feng Jin couldn't help shivering.

She laughed at herself, she had been locked in the endless ice prison for 300 years, and blew the wind and snow for 300 years, she didn't feel cold, but in this palace covered with earth dragons and warm as spring, she felt cold, which is really strange up.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a ray of moonlight on the floor, and the smile on Feng Jin's face suddenly froze.

That ray of moonlight was very thin, it probably came in through the cracks in the window sills, it was no different from the moonlight she saw floating on the glazed tiles of the imperial palace when she first came here, it was just as soft and cold, as faint as water, but it made Feng Jin His expression changed instantly, "Come here!"

A little maid in green trotted in hastily, and asked with trepidation, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Feng Jin stared straight at her, "What time is it today?"

The little maid thought for a while, and replied respectfully, "Today is fifteen."

Feng Jin sat up straight suddenly, her face changed drastically, no one noticed, her body trembled slightly, "What time is it?"

"It's about time, is Your Majesty going to rest? This servant will help His Majesty take a bath and change clothes..."

"Get out! Get out!"

Feng Jin sternly interrupted the little maid's words, the little palace maid turned pale with fright, turned around and left, just a few steps away, she was stopped by Feng Jin again.

"Close the door tightly and guard the door for me. No matter what you hear, don't come in!"

Feng Jin's voice was sharp and cold, "If this matter is not handled well, I will tear you apart! Remember?"

The little maid's legs went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Her voice trembled and her body kept trembling. She was extremely frightened, "Your servant will remember."

"Get out!"

The door closed slowly, separating the two worlds inside and outside.

As soon as the door was closed, water dripped from the time clock, and there was a dull clicking sound. The copper needle fell to the position of the clock, and Feng Jin, who was sitting upright on the beauty's couch, suddenly fell headlong and fell heavily on the ground.

Fortunately, there was a vermilion carpet on the ground, so she was not hurt by the fall.

Feng Jin curled up into a ball, clutching the carpet tightly with her fingers, her face was as pale as paper, and her body kept shaking, as if she was enduring great pain.

She bit her lip so hard that it bled from the bite, and strange green lines appeared on the originally snow-white skin on the back of her hand.

Those lines are lurking under the skin, beating non-stop like life, they hit the skin desperately, trying to break through the confinement of the skin, but they seem to be suppressed desperately by an invisible force.

When the movements of those green patterns were the most violent, Feng Jin suddenly let out a painful cry, which frightened the little palace maid guarding the door to tremble and almost fainted.

Feng Jin struggled on the ground, her long hair was disheveled, and her eyes had turned crimson red, which was very frightening.

Those green lines couldn't break through the skin, and spread to the whole body in the blink of an eye. They clamored and launched attacks non-stop, trying to break through the confinement and escape.

Feng Jin was dripping with sweat, even his hair was soaked, and it stuck to his chest wetly.

Her eyes were red and coquettish, and a tear of blood slipped from the corner of her eyes, blurring her vision.

cost!This is the price of devouring lonely souls and wild ghosts and quickly gaining spiritual power!

Every night when the moon is full, at midnight, when the yin energy is at its heaviest, these ghosts imprisoned in her physical strength wake up, their abilities increase sharply, and they are the most uncontrollable. They want to break through the confinement and escape from her body. palm, and she could only suppress it desperately.

At this time, she was the most painful and weakest. Those ghosts were scurrying around in her body, attacking every inch of her skin, every piece of flesh, every bone, vowing to tear her to pieces.

As time goes by, the ghosts become more irritable and crazier.

"what--"

Feng Jin let out an ear-piercing howl. Under the intense pain, she forcibly tore the thick carpet, her fingernails were broken and dripping with blood.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

The man's voice sounded above her head, and Feng Jin's heart sank. She is extremely weak now, and anyone who wants to kill her can easily do so.

She raised her head to look at the other party with difficulty, and met a pair of indifferent, murderous eyes.
