The Phoenix Takes Revenge

A few days later — the summer rain was always short and fierce, the sky was quiet after the storm, the air was mixed with the dampness and stuffiness of the rain, the pond was full of lotus flowers that were not affected by the storm at all, and with a clatter, raindrops slid down the lotus flowers and into the pond, causing faint ripples.

Standing in the courtyard, Yun Weiyang raised her head to look at the sky, which had turned an exceptionally blue from the rain, and even the rainbows that had rained were abnormally dazzling. Her blood-red eyes slightly narrowed, and Yun Weiyang quietly sensed the aura of nature, causing even her heart to become gentle.

"Miss." Qian Ying's voice sounded right behind Yun Weiyang.

"What is it?" Staring at the lotus flowers in the pond, Yun Weiyang's red lips slightly parted.

"The empress invites you to the palace!" Thousand Shadows said worriedly.

Nodding his head, Yun Weiyang looked up at the sky: "Got it!"

Upon hearing that Yun Weiyang was really going, Thousand Shadows spoke up anxiously, "Miss, your body can't bear the shaking and tiring anymore, and since the Empress told you to go, it definitely won't be a good thing. Miss, did you forget about what happened last time …"

Letting out a light sigh, Yun Weiyang reached out to pat Thousand Shadow's shoulder, her blood-red eyes were calm.

Seeing the persistence and calmness in Yun Weiyang's eyes, Thousand Shadows' head drooped down: "Miss, since you've already decided, there's no point in saying anything, but I hope Miss will be careful."

Yun Weiyang was not blind, she kept all the kindness that the people around her gave to her in her heart. Sometimes, she did not say anything, but that did not mean she did not know, and when her body turned towards the pond, Yun Weiyang quietly looked at the pure white lotus blossoming in the pond, looking noble and elegant like that person.

Inside the carriage, Qian Ying looked at Yun Weiyang's increasingly pale face, and couldn't help but worry. Even though she had already slowed down the carriage, Yun Weiyang still didn't look very good.

Qian Ying had dealt with Yun Weiyang's wounds before, but even a killer like her was shocked by the sight of such a wound. The fist-sized wound on her lower abdomen extended from her abdomen all the way to her back, and even a strong, big fellow wouldn't be able to do such a thing, as if the injuries on her body didn't exist. In addition, the poison on Yun Weiyang's body had not been completely cleansed.

Seeing the sweat on Yun Weiyang's forehead, Thousand Shadows took the courage to pick up the handkerchief in his hand and gently wipe off the sweat off Yun Weiyang's forehead, looking very careful to avoid hurting her.

Her originally closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a deep blood-red. She turned her head to look at Thousand Shadows, who was beside her, and didn't say a word.

The frightened Thousand Shadow quickly kneeled on the ground, "I'm sorry, this subordinate did not intend to offend you!"

Narrowing his eyes, Yun Weiyang extended her hand to signal Thousand Shadows: "Silly girl, what are you crying for, quickly get up!"

Using the back of his hand to wipe the tears at the corner of his eyes, Thousand Shadows said sorrowfully, "I just feel sorry for you."

The carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the palace. Normally, it would only take half an incense stick's worth of time, but today, it took that long to finish. The empress would probably mock and ridicule it later on.

Taking a deep breath, just as Yun Weiyang was about to use her spiritual energy to restore her black eyes, a silhouette flashed in front of her, and a man clad in purple appeared in front of her.

"Who is it?" Thousand Shadows hurriedly pulled out his sword to protect Yun Weiyang.

Waving his hand, Yun Weiyang said: "Qianduan, it's an acquaintance."

She suspiciously sized up Han Ziling, and after confirming that he didn't have any hostility, she slowly put her sword back into her scabbard, and then slowly retreated to the side. However, her eyes were still staring at the person in front of her, as if the person in front of her had ill intentions.

"Why are you here?" A faint smile surfaced on Yun Weiyang's face.

Frowning, Han Ziling said, "You look terrible." With that, he sat in front of Yun Weiyang, and leisurely said: "However, Feng Xue Han has also tried his best, and actually sacrificed his own spirit energy to expel the poison from your body. However, because the poison has already attacked your heart, it will still take some time to completely recover."

Raising the corner of his mouth, Yun Weiyang said indifferently: "Don't tell me that you came here just to say these things?" She did not believe that Han Ziling would come looking for her for no reason.

Han Ziling raised his eyebrows and said with a deep meaning, "Has anyone ever told you that smart people die very quickly?"

Blinking his eyes, Yun Weiyang laughed: "Then has anyone ever told you that stupid people will die faster than smart people!"

Hearing this, Han Ziling let out a soft laugh, and with both hands in surrender, he said, "Good, good, I admit defeat." With that, he took out a pill from his pocket. "This pill can help you solve your current problem, but it can only last half a day."

Receiving the pill, Yun Weiyang stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

"Miss …" What if the pill was poisonous?

"Tsk tsk!" Han Ziling quipped, "You sure are bold, aren't you afraid that I gave you poison?"

Narrowing his eyes, Yun Weiyang said solemnly: "I believe you are not a foolish person!" With that, she extended her hand towards Thousand Shadows, "Thousand Shadows, help me down!"

"Yes sir!" Seeing the black color return to Yun Weiyang's eyes, the worry in Thousand Shadows' heart slowly subsided, and his hostility towards the person beside him wasn't as intense as before.

Coming down from the carriage, the Thousand Shadows wiped off the sweat that had appeared on Yun Weiyang's forehead yet again: "Miss, you must be careful!"

Nodding his head, Yun Weiyang patted on the back of Thousand Shadows' hand, and headed towards the palace.

Looking at Yun Weiyang's straight back and leisurely walking, Thousand Shadows' eyes turned red once again, no one would have expected that the person in front of her had been seriously injured. If she had not supported Yun Weiyang and felt her body tremble, she would never have thought that she would be able to endure until now.

Han Ziling, who was sitting in the carriage, darkened his eyes. "What a strong girl!"

"Yun Weiyang?" Huangfu Zigran never expected to run into Yun Weiyang in the Imperial Palace. At first, he thought his eyes were seeing things, but when he got closer, he saw that it was indeed the fairy-like person, so he couldn't help but cry out.

Yun Weiyang stopped her steps, raised her eyebrows and looked at the person who came, and then saw the person behind the third prince. Her eyes narrowed, and she said lightly: "Second prince, third prince!"

"Weiyang, why did you come to the palace?" Huangfu Haoran's brows were filled with excitement.

Frowning, Yun Weiyang could not remember that she was very familiar with the person in front of her: "The empress asked me to come to the palace."

"So it's like that!"

"If the second and third prince have nothing to do, then I'll be leaving first. If we delay any longer, then the empress won't be able to scold us." Yun Weiyang answered truthfully.

"Alright then, Weiyang!" Huangfu Haoran's expression was filled with reluctance as he said, "Then I won't disturb you any longer."

Nodding his head, Yun Weiyang walked past them with a calm expression.

"Third brother, you came back to reality!" Second Prince Huangfu Mo looked at Yun Weiyang's receding back and sighed to himself. With Third Brother's current state, he was probably moved to the depths of his heart by Yun Weiyang's actions.

When Huangfu Haoran came back to his senses, he smiled embarrassedly. Seeing this, Huangfu Mo lightly sighed and said, "Third Brother, I advise you not to waste any more time on her. She's not suitable for you."

Huangfu Haoran's expression suddenly darkened. After being silent for a long time, he said, "I know Second Brother. I'll be satisfied as long as I can occasionally see her!" He would never forget the throbbing in his heart the first time he saw Yun Weiyang. It was as if a pool of stagnant water had suddenly been poured into a clear spring, making him unable to forget it even if he wanted to.

As he looked at the half a lotus blooming not far away, a gentle breeze blew and the fragrance was pleasant and refreshing, Huangfu Mo's eyes became distant and long. Actually, even he had feelings for Yun Weiyang, but he had buried this secret feeling deep within his heart.

Arriving at the Peace Palace, Yun Weiyang gave a respectful bow, her indifferent voice calm as she said, "Empress, all is well!"

Glancing at Yun Weiyang, the empress said unhappily: "It really wasn't easy for me to get you to come here. It's been two incense sticks worth of time. Yun Weiyang, are you not putting me in your eyes?"

"This official's daughter does not dare!"

"You don't dare?" The empress sneered: "You are so capable, Yun Weiyang, what is there to not dare!" Looking at Yun Weiyang's calm face, the empress was unable to contain her anger. Thinking of her goal for today, she smiled, and said: "Yun Weiyang, consider about the matter that I mentioned to you last time."

Hearing this, Yun Weiyang's eyes narrowed, and she slowly stood up from the ground, staring coldly at the empress who sat on the throne.

The empress panicked by the stare. "You, what are you planning to do?"

Smiling sweetly, Yun Weiyang slowly walked to the front of the empress with a terrifyingly sinister expression on her face: "Empress, do you really want me to kill you that much?"

At this moment, the empress was like a fish on a chopping block, looking at Yun Weiyang's deep eyes, which were as deep as the ocean, and the smile that didn't seem to exist on her lips. She was completely sure that Yun Weiyang would do as she said and kill her, but she, who had been standing at the top all these years, was used to giving orders: "Yun Weiyang, kill me, and you won't be able to leave."

After straightening his body, Yun Weiyang said helplessly, "Empress, I wonder if you're really dumb or if you're just pretending. Will I kill you here?" Seeing the Queen's panicked face, she laughed. "I have over a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead."

Looking at the black pill in Yun Weiyang's palm, the empress said with difficulty: "Yun Weiyang, just pretend I never said anything about that, okay? Furthermore, even if you kill me, you will not benefit in any way. "

With a sway of his body, Yun Weiyang sat down on a chair and said indifferently: "Esteemed Empress, you do not have the qualifications to negotiate with me. Since I dared to do it, I'm not afraid of the consequences."

"You …" The empress had an ugly expression on her face. She did not expect Yun Weiyang to refuse to give in, "Then what do you want me to do?" Right now, the empress's goal is to first stabilize Yun Weiyang.

With a sneer, Yun Weiyang spoke, "Empress, put away your thoughts of not being able to appear on the stage. Do you think that no one knows about what you've done?"

Startled, the empress pretended to be calm as she replied, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
