Chapter 865: Chapter 865: 863: Powerful and Domineering

Before long, a shadow entered the palace and knelt beside Chu Yihan, “Reporting to Your Highness, Mu Fei has not yet left the palace, and I was unable to capture him. Moreover, Qin Rulie has already strengthened the precautionary measures, and the Shadow Guards may find it difficult to enter the palace to gather intelligence again.”

Chu Yihan’s eyes, holding the teacup, gradually deepened, “It seems that Mu Fei has had plans for a while.”

His brain was working rapidly, but his hands did not forget to feed Su Yingxue tea and pastries.

The Shadow Guards lurking in the Great Wei Dynasty, who had not yet paid respects to Su Yingxue, the Princess, were as astonished as if they had seen a ghost when they witnessed their master personally feeding her food and drink. My God!

The master that even the King of the Underworld fears… has a gentle side too?

Phew!

As Chu Yihan’s sharp gaze swept over, the Shadow Guard’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head, “I will take the punishment myself!”

After he said that, he disappeared like a shadow.

Su Yingxue couldn’t help but marvel for the umpteenth time, “Hubby, why are your men all so formidable? Mo Qi and Zi Wei are both highly skilled in martial arts, and even this random Shadow Guard has such good lightness skills that I can’t even keep up!”

Su Yingxue truly admired them.

“Because their master is second to none.”

Chu Yihan said it without the slightest blush or falter, as if he felt that this statement still didn’t showcase his prowess sufficiently.

Su Yingxue covered her mouth and stole a laugh, her husband was becoming less and less modest!

But his powerful and dominating demeanor was so captivating!

Su Yingxue’s heart raced with excitement.

The moment she was laid down on the bed, she knew it was going to be another whole night of sore waist and aching legs.

“Hmm…”

Her sultry moan drifted from behind the curtains, and her jade-like fingers clutched at the bed canopy, trembling throughout the night.

Outside Funing Palace, Mu Fei waited the entire night before he was summoned inside.

He entered a side hall.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was helped back to rest by Nanny Fu, and the people serving Shen Yu were all dismissed by her command. In the vast side hall, there were only Shen Yu and Mu Fei.

Mu Fei saw Shen Yu half-reclining on the bed with bandages around her head, her complexion pale. He curled his mouth in a wicked smile, “For glory and riches, you do not hesitate to risk your life. Such human nature is indeed very ugly.”

“What cold remarks you’re making! If it weren’t for me, we would all be dead yesterday. Do you think you would still be alive?” Shen Yu glared at him irritably.

It was her first time seeing Mu Fei, but there was a wicked aura about him.

Especially that face of his, more beautiful than a woman’s, which did not match his tall stature at all.

Mu Fei snorted coldly, “Those who couldn’t live were the ones pretending to be of royal blood. I, Mu Fei of the Ghost Market, would not be like you.”

“Ghost Market?” Shen Yu’s eyes widened.

Previously, she had not thought much about it, but during her time in the Great Wei Imperial Palace, she had learned quite a bit, especially about the words “Ghost Market.”

When Qin Rulie came to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, he would often mention it—a dark and sunless underground kingdom, but… capable of anything!

No wonder Mu Fei could turn the tide, coming from the Ghost Market!

“The Eldest Princess was under your spell?” Shen Yu nervously clutched the pillow beneath her.

Mu Fei’s eyes lifted with mirth, “It’s control. I used a drug to control her, so she swapped your and Su Yingxue’s blood, making you the princess’s daughter. You should thank me.”

Shen Yu lay back down, her eyes filled with scorn, “Speak, what reward do you want? Now that I have secured the position of princess and will later be the princess consort of the Red Flame, you will naturally not lack for benefits.”
