My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

This hint of murderous intent in Helian Lanfeng's eyes further strengthened his belief that the other party wanted to support Mei Xueer, and he was shocked again.

However, Helian Lanfeng's eyes turned, "Your Excellency, you may not know that although Nanyue is a small barbarian country, it does not have as many restrictions on women as the Central Plains culture. However, they take women's immorality very seriously. In the past, Princess Anping got pregnant before marriage and shamelessly gave birth to a daughter. Moreover, the father of this child is an important official of the enemy country. Such a person will definitely not be supported by those old subordinates of Nanyue."

These words made King Qi dazed for a while.

Princess Anping? Pregnant before marriage? Gave birth to a daughter? Is this daughter still alive?

Helian Lanfeng thought that his words had worked, and that the great god in front of him might continue to support him.

Humph, I will show weakness for now and accept your hostage. When my strength allows, I will destroy you, Lord Ye, who dares not show your true face to others!

Fortunately, Cui Hongqi was wearing a mask, so the shocked expression on his face did not catch Helian Lanfeng's attention.

He quickly adjusted his mood and asked tentatively: "Do you know who tried to assassinate you this time? Could it be the daughter of Princess Anping?"

Helian Lanfeng snorted, "I thought it was her at first, but on the way here, I felt it was unlikely. Think about it, she is a woman in seclusion, where did she find assassins? Those people are not ordinary killers, they are more like dead soldiers."

"What you said does make some sense." Cui Hongqi said in a calm tone.

Each of them has his own thoughts and purposes.

However, Helian Lanfeng felt more and more that his words had deeply touched Lord Ye, so he wanted to slander Mei Xueer to death. In short, the more he said bad things about this woman, the more likely the person in front of him would continue to cooperate with him.

So, he continued, "Besides, this bitch is as shameless as her mother. I heard that she is a well-known nymphomaniac in Zhen Country, even more notorious than her mother..."

Hearing this, Cui Hongqi moved his body. Apparently, his words had taken effect. Helian Lanfeng became even more excited:

"Hmph, if she wasn't a slut, how could she have had affairs with two princes? She even got close to someone like the former crown prince of Zhenguo and took off all her clothes to get close to him. She wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne and move into the harem when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future... Although she was later betrothed to Prince Jing, even an unpopular prince like Prince Jing didn't take her seriously at all and divorced her in less than half a year. I heard that she is still unable to have children. How can such a person win the support of the people... I also heard that..."

Helian Lanfeng was talking a lot but he didn't notice that under Cui Hongqi's wide sleeves, his hands were clenched into fists. He tried hard to restrain himself from killing the dwarf in front of him.

"The daughter of Princess Anping that he mentioned turned out to be Mei Xueer?" Cui Hongqi suppressed the great shock and anger in his heart, turned around slightly and stopped looking at Helian Lanfeng. First, he didn't want Helian Lanfeng to see his uncontrollable and out-of-control eyes, and second, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would take the life of the disabled man in front of him with a palm.

Who else could the person Helian Lanfeng was talking about be other than Mei Xueer?

Cui Hongqi's mind was full of Mei Xueer.

She was standing under the plum grove, her blood-red petals falling lightly on her hair along with the falling snow, like drops of cinnabar dotted on the painting. On her head, there were pearl flowers in the shape of red plum blossoms.

She is actually the daughter of Princess Anping?

Why? Why her?!

why?

Helian Lanfeng, how dare you say such filthy words to her? I will make you live a life worse than death!

Then, Helian Lanfeng saw Cui Hongqi suddenly roar and hit the ground heavily with his palm.

It's like a wild beast that has been locked in a cage for many years and suddenly releases its wildness.

A big hole suddenly appeared on the ground paved with bluestone.

This was the first time that Helian Lanfeng saw Cui Hongqi take action, and he was shocked. If this palm had landed on him, he would probably have been turned into meat paste on the spot.

He then stopped talking, surprised and cautious: "My Lord?..."

Cui Hongqi took a deep breath and said, "You... are absolutely right. Very good, very good... I have some urgent matters to deal with, so I will leave for a while..."

Before he finished speaking, the man had already rushed out.

But soon, he turned back and said, "I want you to stop all actions immediately!"

Helian Lanfeng snorted coldly: "Why? You and I are just partners."

"Just because you are stupid!" Cui Hongqi's voice suddenly increased, his whole body was shrouded in a terrifying aura, and he walked towards him step by step, "Now that Concubine Wan has been rescued, do you think the war between the two countries of Zhenchang can still start? Do you think you still have a chance to stab Cui Qimo from the back while the chaos is going on? Now the situation has changed, you and I can only lie dormant for the time being and wait for the next opportunity. Otherwise, with the few people you have, it won't even be enough to fill Cui Qimo's teeth!"

"But I won't give in." Helian Lanfeng said, gritting his teeth.

"If you insist on going to die, go ahead, but I won't give you any help!"

Helian Lanfeng clenched and unclenched his fists, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Then, I'll wait a little longer..."

Cui Hongqi turned around and walked away, fearing that he would be unable to resist killing him if he looked at him any longer.

Meng Nan, who was outside the door, was quite surprised to see his master's anxious but somewhat unstable steps.

But no one knew what Helian Lanfeng said to him that made his master lose his composure like this?

He quickly followed.

Unexpectedly, Cui Hongqi said without even turning his head, "You don't have to follow him, just watch him."

He used his Qinggong skills to dash through several winding corridors like a flash of lightning, and then through a plum forest. The uncontrollable chill emanating from his body shook off the tender leaves on the plum trees, which scattered all over the ground behind him.

Finally, he stopped in front of a door.

He waved his wide white sleeves backwards, and the surprised servants around him quickly lowered their heads and retreated far away.

He didn't rush to knock on the door, but stood in front of the door, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking, his chest heaving violently.

He stood there for a long time before he took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.

There was no response from the door, so he whispered in a hoarse, trembling voice, "Sir, may I come in?"

There was still no sound from the door, so he stopped asking questions and gently pushed the door open.

After he went in, he quickly closed the door and locked it from the inside.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." He lowered his voice and looked at the woman in front of him who was sitting with her legs crossed, leaning back in a chair, rocking her body and eating snacks.

"Although I don't know who you are, you kidnapped me, so it shouldn't be just to treat me to a meal." Mei Xueer pushed the snack in her hand forward and rolled her eyes at him.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Cui Hongqi's lips curled up slightly under the mask, and he felt inexplicably soft in his heart.

"If you want to do something to me, you won't take care of me. Apart from the lack of freedom, it seems that I am quite comfortable here."

"I didn't let you go out because I didn't want you to be in danger again!" Cui Hongqi gritted his teeth and said, "If my people hadn't arrived the day before yesterday, those people would have taken your life!"
