Chapter 46: Making Things Difficult Everywhere

  Her eyes watched her nose, her nose watched her heart, silent and speechless.

  "Don't frown, you're lovely", she had never thought of herself as lovely before, so how did she become associated with the word "lovely" in his eyes?

  They say she's cold-blooded and ruthless, which suits her style quite well.

  "Xiao Yue seems to be very reluctant to see me, it's really heartbreaking." Bai Li Chen Yan deliberately lowered his voice, that heartbreaking expression was evident, making people feel guilty.

  He knew that Leng Xueyu didn't plan to sit with him from the moment she entered the room, but heaven also helped him out. Apart from the seat next to him, she only had two options: either sit between her 'sisters' or sit beside Feng Wang Baili Hongfeng.

  Apparently, she chose him in the end.

  "Idiot." Leng Xueyue curved her mouth slightly, how did she feel that this Blood King was so shameless?

  She couldn't really get angry with him, and even seeing his sad and hurt expression made her heart ache, damn it, she must be seriously ill.

  Zui Ke Ju is the largest gathering point in Yue Du Huang Cheng, and also one of the central points for all intelligence. The four envoys of Feng Hua Yue Xue each have their own mission, responsible for a single station. Leng Zhi Yue was going to investigate the backstage boss of Man Xiang Lou based on the information provided by Chun Feng, but unexpectedly received an invitation.

  An inexplicable sense of unease, as if she had been inseparable from the Blood King since the engagement banquet.

  "Hehe, Xiaoluo's mouth is really poisonous, but she's still very cute." Baili Chenyuan wasn't annoyed at being scolded as an idiot. In his eyes, the girl with sparks flying in her watery pupils was truly especially adorable, especially when she was angry, that slightly pouting little mouth made him want to kiss it.

  Ba Li Hong Feng's fingers lightly tapped on the table, and he felt that the two people who were whispering to each other were particularly annoying. When did they start having contact? They seemed very familiar with each other.

  "Wu Di is very familiar with Miss Leng, and it seems like you two get along well." A woman like Leng Ziyue, if she were to stand by his side, would definitely be a great help to him, and could even help him successfully seize the throne.

  "Not familiar."

  "Not familiar." A high and low voice sounded simultaneously, like a duet. Leng Xueyu and Baili Chenyuan exchanged a glance, then looked away, like two lovers who had a falling out, making people both envy and pity them.

  Baili Changjian burst out laughing and clapped his hands, saying: "Haha, you two are so in sync, yet you say you're not familiar with each other."

  He really underestimated Leng Ziyue, but if she wanted power, how could she find a blood king with no power or influence? Which of the princes in the court was not more noble than him, the Blood King.

  "Your Majesty, even if I were familiar with him, there's no need for me to report it to you." The death of the king is also related to Baili Changjian. He wants the throne but doesn't have the ability to rise to power on his own, so he resorts to using this woman and relying on her, which is simply laughable. Leng Ziyue ignored the shocked expressions of the other women as they gasped in unison, and changed the subject: "You men are always mixing with women, do you need to report to the emperor whether you're familiar or not?"

  Su Jingwen bit her lip, she couldn't let Baili Changjian lose face, and smiled: "Leng Fourth Miss, just now your three sisters were about to perform a program for everyone, with your talents being so outstanding, I'm sure they won't be inferior."

  "Who are you? I remember my mother only gave birth to me, one daughter. Where did this sister come from? Are you brain-damaged or kicked in the head by a donkey, idiot." Her pink lips slightly opened, "You make me unhappy, so don't blame me for taking it out on you."

  "You——" She was after all the daughter of Tai Fu, spoiled since childhood, how could she have endured such humiliation today? Su Jingwen's hands trembled and she couldn't utter a single word.

  Leng Xueying blinked her eyes, took over the conversation and said: "What are you, it seems that your family's genes are not good, they all belong to brain damage, can't even say a complete sentence, not only stupid, but also inferior to pigs. No, no, no, saying you're a pig is an insult to the intelligence of pigs."

  "Big brother, ah, ah, ah..." Su Jingwen wanted to help but couldn't, and instead got flustered herself. Her pretty face turned red with anger, a truly vivid sight.

  The water-blue long sleeve fluttered, and Leng Xueying elegantly stood up, her voice cold: "Wanting to embarrass me, don't you see what kind of moral character you have? No talent for playing petty tricks, how laughable. Using these three to attack me, you should stay at home and take a good look at the imperial physician's family background. What status do they have? Illegitimate daughters born to concubines, to put it bluntly, are just slightly more noble than servant girls, women who can't even be recorded in the family tree. Is there any value in comparing?"

  "Leng Ziyue, we're your sisters, for goodness' sake! You're really too...!" Leng Yinling's face twisted in anger, she almost rushed to Leng Ziyue's side and slapped her a few times.

  "Leng Xiaojie, even if they are only your step-sisters, they are still your sisters. How can you speak to them like that?" Xiao Yu Yan smiled and stood up to mediate.

  She had long been displeased with Leng Xue's arrogant attitude, and now she wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for her.

  There's a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, it's an old rule left by our ancestors. She also looks down on the illegitimate daughter, but now she wants to help the three sisters of the Cold family, who have a common enemy after all.

  "Miss Leng, we are also concubines, but can we choose our birth? If so, who would want to be a concubine?" The women who had been stepped on and hurt suddenly jumped out, you spoke one word, I spoke one word, what was originally a elegant place instantly turned into a bustling marketplace.

  Baili Ziying didn't utter a word from head to toe, but those eyes with inquiry never moved their gaze away from Leng Xueyan's body. He had immense interest in this woman.

  How will she solve it in front of many people?

  It's not just him who has such an idea. Apart from Baili Chenguang, I'm afraid every man here has such an idea.

  "Xiao Yue'er, you've offended many people. Do you want me to help?" Hong Pao fluttered as Baili Chenyuan stood beside Leng Ziyue's left hand, his clear voice ringing in her ear.

  No matter how good your hearing is, you can't hear anything.

  "No." Leng Xueyu glared at him, his red clothes were dazzling, and his mask was also dazzling.

  One day, she will take off his mask with her own hands.

  Originally thought that the man in Maple Forest was the most handsome when wearing red, but unexpectedly, Baili Chenyuan's red attire also made her feel astonished.

  That familiar feeling, unspoken yet anticipated, was so clear that she couldn't ignore it even if she tried.

  Who are you, after all?

  What's your connection with me?

  "As long as you give me a look, I'll definitely help." Getting the expected answer, Baili Chenyuan shrugged and sat back in his own seat. He knew that his little guy was very stubborn and would not ask for his help.

  This stubborn and strong girl, when will she be willing to rely on him, I really look forward to it.

  "Is it this young lady who wants to enter this room and stay with you?" The clear eyes sparkled with a faint cold light, Qing Ze Yue slightly raised an eyebrow, her red lips opening lightly. "The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate daughters has been so since ancient times. You don't want to be illegitimate daughters, it's really not that you have no other choice. The mistake lies with your mothers, you should blame them. If they weren't willing to degrade themselves as someone else's concubine, all of you would be legitimate daughters, wouldn't you?"

  "Haha, that makes sense." Baili Chunyuan's eyes, which seemed to see right through to the bottom, were full of smile, but no one could tell what he was really thinking.

  His mother was an empress, if not for the concubines in the harem vying for favor and trying to replace her position, how would she have lost her life, making him a fatherless and motherless orphan.

  Baili Chunxuan resented the ugliness of the imperial palace, and those who owed him and his mother had to pay back.

  "Look at you, you seem to be quite dissatisfied. Don't tell me what I said isn't true? I'm indeed a wicked person, haven't you heard that the more beautiful a woman is, the more venomous she is? Do you know what a concubine-born daughter means in my eyes?" She just wanted to come and gather some information, but these women couldn't help themselves, making things difficult for her everywhere, wanting her to lose face. Well, she wouldn't be polite either, let's see who can outdo whom.

  "This king is very curious, what is a concubine?" Baili Chenyuan gave face, asking obediently, like a good student who loves to learn. That serious and focused expression made people want to scold him but couldn't bring themselves to do so.

  "Leng Ziyue, don't be too presumptuous." Leng Jingle rushed to Leng Ziyue's side, her height was at least half a head taller than Leng Ziyue, but her aura was less than half of his, making her look comical no matter how you looked at it.

  Leng Fengling held back Leng Jinyin, with so many people watching, if the concubine's daughter were to hit the legitimate daughter, it would be enough to get them investigated by the officials. Xue Wang was clearly helping Leng Ziyue, although he wasn't favored, he was still a prince after all, and they couldn't afford to offend him.

  "Tsk, tsk, look at you, wanting to hit me." Leng Ziyue laughed even harder, this kind of smile was incomprehensible to anyone else, only she knew its meaning. Every time she showed this smile, it meant her patience had run out.

  "What...what do you want to do?" Cold Jinling swallowed hard, unconsciously taking two steps back.

  "This young lady just wants to tell you three that a concubine in this young lady's eyes is just a slap on the left cheek and a kick on the right cheek. Donkeys see donkeys kick, pigs see pigs trample. Those born to be cucumbers are asking for a slap! Those who become walnut-like later in life are asking for a punch! Those destined to be broken motorcycles all their lives are asking for a kick! If they find a husband tomorrow and become screws, they're asking for a twist!" She took step by step towards the three of them, her tone neither fast nor slow, just right for them to hear clearly. Only when the three were so scared that they fell to the ground did she stop in her tracks, adding: "Go back to the manor and stay there properly. Since you don't want to live a peaceful life, I won't bother keeping you around to get in the way."

  The last sentence was spoken very softly and only those on the ground could hear it clearly.

  They don't have the guts to provoke her now, so the only explanation is that they were instigated by someone. It seems that those two in the palace are really not letting people off easy.

  Well, today she deliberately made a big fuss, making it convenient for them to take action against her, so that she could set up a good plan and easily welcome the surprise brought by Lingjiao's banquet.

  Digression

  Today's word count is especially high, hehe!
