Chapter 12: A Hundredfold Repayment

  Demon Doctor Wild Concubine

  Wangfu Study

  Feng Qing was leaning lazily on the chair, her deep eyes fell on the wrinkled letter paper on the table, looking gloomy. Long Wu stood respectfully beside her.

  "Your Highness." The sound of Long Jiu's knock on the door came from outside.

  He raised his profound eyes and said in a low voice: "Come in." As he spoke, he picked up the letter and placed it on the other side of the desk.

  Longjiu pushed open the door and walked in, approaching the desk, and cupped his hands in greeting to Feng Qingchen: "Your Highness."

  "How is it?" Feng Qingchen sat up straight and asked in a light tone.

  Longjiu replied truthfully, "Fortunately, the king thought of them and sent a letter saying that stealing military secrets was just a ruse. In reality, the real target was the queen. He ordered his subordinates to rush over immediately and rescued the queen in time."

  Feng Qingchen pursed her lips lightly, not speaking, and continued to wait for Long Jiudao to arrive. "It's just that the assassin's martial arts skills are quite high, and even if several of us joined forces, we could only manage a draw with him. I originally planned to use a pincer movement to capture him, but who would have thought he had more reinforcements, so we let him escape."

  Feng Qingchen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Can we tell which school he belongs to through a exchange of blows?"

  "His martial arts moves are unlike anything I've ever seen in the Tianqi Kingdom, and I couldn't guess who he is. However, I heard people call him 'Young Master' later on, so his identity must not be simple."

  "Hmm." Feng Qingchu nodded lightly, her eyes falling on the crumpled letter again before looking up at Long Wu and Long Jiu. "This time he failed, but he won't give up easily. He'll think of another way to sneak into the palace. In the following days, you two must tighten the security in the mansion. Next time he comes, we must catch him!"

  "Yes! Understood!" Long Wu and Long Jiu replied in unison.

  "Feng Qingchen waved her hand, 'Go down first.' As soon as the words fell, she lazily leaned back on the chair, but saw that Long Jiu had no intention of leaving, so she asked, 'Is there anything else?'"

  Longjiu did not answer immediately, his expression somewhat hesitant. After taking a deep breath, he said, "It's the princess, she has something to tell the king through me."

  As soon as Long Jiu thought of what Shen Yunxi had told him to say, he wished he could escape immediately, because he was afraid that Wang Ye would get angry after hearing the words of the princess. However, the current situation is that the arrow is on the string and cannot be avoided!

  Feng Qingchen was taken aback for a moment, then her lips curled up, "What's the point of saying anything? If it's just to express gratitude, then there's no need."

  "No." Long Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "The princess said that when you mention her to me, Your Majesty will think she's going to thank you, but not only won't she be grateful, she'll also think it's no big deal for Your Majesty to rescue her because all of this is your fault, so you should take responsibility! And finally, she said that rumors are sometimes not entirely false."

  Longjiu took a deep breath and said what Shen Yunxi had told him to say, looking at Feng Qingchen's increasingly gloomy expression. He thought to himself that he shouldn't have said those words after all. Those words were simply too... presumptuous, too rebellious!

  But saying this is really refreshing. Of course, this is something that absolutely cannot be said out loud, or else his head won't be able to stay on his shoulders.

  "How dare she! She's got a lot of nerve saying something like that!"

  Feng Qingchen slammed his hand on the table, but the sturdy desk was no match for his powerful palm strength. With a loud "bang", it shattered into pieces all over the floor, and the memorials on the table were scattered everywhere.

  Longjiu stood still, shrinking his body slightly, he knew that Wang Ye would get angry, no... more accurately, furious!!

  Then he spoke up and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. The princess was probably frightened by tonight's events and injured, so she would say such things in a fit of anger."

  Although he didn't see a hint of anger on Shen Yunxi's face, he still had to say this, after all, it was something he had said, and he had to take responsibility for the consequences.

  Feng Qing's dark-colored eyes narrowed slightly, "She was injured?" The other words automatically skipped over, only grasping this key point, and the huge gloom and bloodthirstiness in his heart seemed to have been reined in a lot after hearing that Shen Yunxi was injured.

  "Yes, I was injured on my left shoulder. When I was about to leave, one of my subordinates asked the princess if she wanted to call a doctor, but she refused."

  "Was she rejected?...... Are you sure she's hurt?" Feng Qingchen suddenly had some doubts about Shen Yunxi.

  "Subordinate confirmed that the princess was indeed injured. Possibly not too serious, she said she could handle it herself." Longjiu nodded and said affirmatively.

  Feng Qingchen narrowed her eyes and remained silent for a while before speaking up to Long Wu and the others, "You two can go down first."

  The two of them immediately opened the door and left the study room together.

  Feng Qingchen silently got up and stood in front of the window, her hands behind her back, gazing out at the darkness with eyes as deep as the night outside.

  Fists clenched slowly, with distinct blue veins bulging on the back of his hands.

  It was a long time before his voice finally echoed in the quiet room: "Shen Yunxi, this king will spare you for today, but our paths are still far from over!"

  His voice was like it came from hell, icy and piercing to the bone!

  Wangfu Shuiyuxuan

  After Long Jiu left, Shen Yunxi did not return to her own room, but instead changed direction and walked towards Shuang'er's room.

  Pushing open the door and walking to the bed, he saw that Shuang'er was sleeping soundly, the worry on her face had dissipated, and she hadn't been disturbed by the fight earlier. Then, bearing the slight pain in his left shoulder, he bent down to tuck her quilt in and only then stood up and walked out.

  Inside the house, the candles were lit, casting a faint yellow glow.

  Shen Yunxi sat beside the table, lowering his head to unbutton his collar, revealing his left shoulder. Under the lamplight, a purplish bruise was clearly visible on his left shoulder.

  She frowned and didn't find satisfactory medicine in the pile of medicine bottles on the table. Most of them were for treating external injuries, and although there were some for internal injuries, they weren't good ones that would take effect soon after taking.

  Shen Yunxi furrowed her brow and cursed in her heart: This damned Feng Qingchen! Indeed, he's my nemesis!!

  Then, looking at the pile of medicine bottles, picked up a purple bottle, sighed slightly, forget it, use this one for now.

  After taking the medicine, she washed her face and then went to bed.

  Before getting on the couch, Shen Yunxi habitually stretched her waist due to fatigue from a whole day. For a moment, she forgot about the wound on her left shoulder and was in so much pain that she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

  Shen Yunxi stroked the injured area, gritted her teeth, and thought to herself that if she met that black-clothed man again next time, she would definitely get back at him tenfold or even a hundredfold. She couldn't just endure this pain in vain!

  And Feng Qingchen, the ringleader of the crime, she won't let her off either!

  She let Longjiu pass, but what's waiting for him ahead is even more formidable.

  Hmph! Whoever makes her suffer will be made to suffer tenfold, a hundredfold by her!

  Thinking so, his heart finally relaxed a bit, and then he lay back on the bed with his clothes on. However, thinking about what the man in black said about killing the first two queens, Shen Yunxi found it hard to imagine what kind of hatred he had towards Feng Qingchen that made him want to slaughter innocent people!

  She was neither a party nor did she understand, and for the time being, she couldn't think of any results. So, she shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and lay down to rest with her eyes closed.

  Perhaps today was exhausting and hurtful, soon Shen Yunxi entered the dreamland. However, maybe because of the pain in her left shoulder, she furrowed her brow while sleeping soundly.

  The moonlight outside pours in, flickering with dots of brightness, softening a room's tranquility.
