Return of the Phoenix Lady

"Empress? What Empress?" Concubine Yun was puzzled. Wasn't she talking about that bitch Yun Luoxin? Why was she suddenly talking about the Empress again?

Seeing this, Han Xing smiled coldly and said, "Empress Yun, can't you see that the Queen is also deeply in love with the Emperor?"

"What?!" Concubine Yun screamed in shock! "How...how is this possible? If the Queen truly loved Your Majesty, why would she send me to be with Your Majesty? Don't try to sow discord between me and the Queen!" Although she said so, the slight tremor in her voice still revealed Concubine Yun's uncertainty.

"The Queen loves the Emperor deeply, but the Emperor only has my mother in his heart. So, the Queen found you who is very similar to my mother. The reason she chose you is, first, because of your appearance, second, because you don't have any backing, and third, because you know the times and are easy to control. With you as a chess piece, when my mother leaves, the Queen won't have to worry about the Emperor looking for other women. At least she believes that as long as the Emperor gets tired of you, he will eventually return to her. After all, she is the Queen! Of course, you have another use, which is to take the blame! The Queen asks you to take action every time she takes action, just to prevent her from being found out. With you, she can completely put all the blame on you!" Han Xing analyzed carefully, paused, and said grimly: "You said, you took away the Emperor's favor. When you fall out of favor, will she let you go?"

Concubine Yun's face turned pale. She had never thought of this before! The Queen would harm her! Indeed, if the Queen truly loved His Majesty, she would never let her go! She knew this better than anyone else!

Han Xing looked at Yun Fei coldly, and suddenly waved his slender hand, and a stream of powder was sprinkled on Yun Fei.

Before Concubine Yun could react, she was already contaminated by the powder. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a pain and suffocation from her heart, which made her half-open her mouth and unable to speak. She fell to the ground in an instant and curled up on the ground. Fine beads of sweat seeped from Concubine Yun's forehead, and her face was pale with a bluish tint, which was an obvious sign of poisoning.

Han Xing stood up, looked down at Yun Fei who was twitching in pain on the ground, and said coldly: "This is just a small punishment for harming others!"

Concubine Yun didn't know how long she felt the pain. The immense pain made her feel the approach of death so strongly for the first time! The most amazing thing was that she didn't faint from the pain. In fact, it was because Han Xing added a refreshing herb.

Seeing the pain gradually ease, but Yun Fei no longer having any strength left, Han Xing squatted down with a smile. Looking at her weak body, he sneered: "Sun Yun'er, before you defeat your opponent, shouldn't you first know yourself and the enemy, so that you can win every battle? You attacked before you fully understood my abilities. Aren't you afraid that I will fight back?"

Yun Fei collapsed on the ground, breathing less in and more out, and it seemed that she had been tortured severely.

Han Xing didn't wait for Concubine Yun to recover and said directly, "Sun Yun'er, you only have two choices now. One, help me testify against all the Queen's crimes, and I can guarantee your life. The other is that you can remain silent, but you will lose everything, including your life, and your parents will also be implicated."

After Han Xing finished speaking, seeing that Sun Yun'er didn't seem to react at all, she continued to coax her, "Don't be silly. Even if you don't kill the Queen, she will kill you in the future! You stole her man, how could she let you go? Instead of passively waiting for her to make a move, why not strike first!"

This time, Sun Yun'er reacted. She twisted her body with difficulty and finally opened her eyes. She looked at Han Xing with eyes full of pleading and fear.

If Yun Fei had always thought Han Xing was a kind and gullible little angel, now she was a wicked and sinister little devil! She had truly experienced the life motto of "Don't judge a book by its cover"!

"If you choose one, blink. If you choose two, don't blink." Han Xing said.

Almost at the same time, Concubine Yun blinked. Han Xing sneered in his heart. This greedy and cowardly woman is really not easy to deal with!

Seeing this, Han Xing raised the corners of his lips and looked at Yun Fei's body which was still unable to move. His slender hand emitted a ball of white light which covered Yun Fei's body. Yun Fei felt that her body suddenly became warm and she could no longer feel the pain just now. Her strength gradually recovered.

Concubine Yun stared at Han Xing with wide eyes. Although she was now a concubine in the deep palace, isolated from all information, she had often heard stories about magicians before even entering the palace. Naturally, she knew a little about the rare species of light magicians. And now, wasn't there a light magician standing next to her?! And a magician who looked extremely young! Could such a talent be called a genius on the mainland?

Concubine Yun sighed helplessly in her heart, and at the same time she was annoyed at her own blindness. She actually listened to the Queen's words and took action without caring about anything else. She didn't even find out the other person's strength. Moreover, this girl was completely different from her mother. Her mother was simple and cheerful, but she gave birth to a freak like her who was dark, insidious and powerful!

After almost recovering, Concubine Yun slowly got up from the ground, bowed her head and said respectfully to Han Xing: "Master Liu, I understand! I apologize for any offense just now, I hope you will forgive me!"

Han Xing looked at Concubine Yun's sensible behavior, nodded and smiled, "Concubine Yun, you don't have to be polite. I won't mind. Just remember what you promised me."

"Yes! I understand, but..." Concubine Yun raised her head and looked at Han Xing, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"explain."

"Will the thing just now happen again?" Yun Fei asked with difficulty, biting her lip. She really couldn't bear the pain that was worse than death again.

Han Xing said with a half-smile: "Don't worry, as long as you have no second thoughts, I won't let it happen."

Concubine Yun lowered her eyes and nodded, accepting her fate.

Han Xing smiled with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll wait and see what Concubine Yun does... The scenery of Concubine Yun's palace is indeed unique. Thank you for the invitation, Concubine Yun. However, it's almost time. I will come again next time I'm free. I'll take my leave now."

Concubine Yun looked at Han Xing anxiously and said, "Mr. Liu, you are too polite! It is my honor that you are willing to come! How about I come and see you off?!"

"No need, Concubine Yun should just have a good rest! Taking care of your health is the most important thing." Han Xing said meaningfully.

Yun Fei didn't dare to move anymore. She looked at Han Xing's back obediently until she could no longer see that figure. Then she slumped down in the chair, her hands weakly supporting herself on the table. A chill surged in her heart. She took several deep breaths before she calmed down a little and began to stare blankly.

At this moment, inside the Queen's Palace, the Queen, with a cold expression, sat quietly on a wooden chair. Behind her stood the sisters Qiuqing and Qiuyu. The eunuch Xiao Quanzi stood beside the Queen and shouted angrily at a young eunuch kneeling before her, "Tell me! What exactly happened in there? Did Concubine Yun succeed?"

"Your servant... Your servant doesn't know... I really don't know! I don't know what happened. I was just following them, but in the blink of an eye, they disappeared! No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find them. Your servant really didn't mean to do that! Please, Your Majesty, spare me! Please, Your Majesty, spare me!"

Xiao Quanzi glared at the eunuch who kept begging for mercy with disgust, and asked the queen cautiously, "Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?"

The queen had a cold expression, as if she didn't notice the eunuch who kept begging for mercy, nor did she hear Xiao Quanzi's questions.

No one dared to say another word, for fear of angering the unpredictable Empress.

After an unknown amount of time, the queen suddenly stretched out her hand, and a ball of fiery red magic appeared in her palm. The queen struck it casually, and the fiery red magic shot straight at the little eunuch. The innocent little eunuch was burned to ashes before he could even make a sound.

"It is better to abandon useless people." After saying this coldly, the queen ignored everyone else and walked out.
