Volume 1: Laughing at the Prosperous Chapter 25

  The Phoenix Concubine's words fell, and those hidden guards of the Wang Fu immediately received their orders, rushing forward to capture Yun Shangyue.

  "Miss......" Cai Lian was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body went limp.

  "What's the matter! Stand up straight for me!" Yun Shangyue turned her head and glared at Cai Lian, thinking that she might as well try out the hidden guards that Old Master Wang had mentioned today. If they really existed, it would be even better; if not, she would take action again. At least she still hadn't figured out the basic condition of this body, and didn't want to reveal her skills in front of so many people. Thinking of this, seeing the hidden guards rushing up, she lightly shouted, "Are my hidden guards here?"

  Feng Ce Fei was taken aback. This dead girl also has a hidden guard? How come she's never heard of it? And besides, she's always been bullied and never seen her use it before?

  "In!" Cloud Shallow Moon's words fell, and a person floated down lightly in the courtyard. Wearing black clothes and a black face mask, his entire body was wrapped up tightly, making it impossible to see his face. However, from his figure and speech, it could be seen that he was a young man.

  She actually had a hidden guard? But was it just this one? However, thinking again about how this person suddenly appeared silently and quietly, she was so close, yet she thought her hearing and vision were extremely good but didn't discover where he came from. It can be seen that this person's martial arts skills are higher than those of the hidden guards who appeared in front of Feng Ce Fei. She wasn't a shallow person who thought one couldn't defeat dozens. Yun Qian Yue nodded: "Tell them, what is your duty?"

  "Everything will be done according to Miss's instructions!" The hidden guard said without any emotion.

  "Good!" Yun Shangyue was satisfied. It was only with this that she felt comfortable, and lazily, without even looking at the stunned hidden guards, she looked at Feng Ce Fei and said word by word: "Throw this woman who is arbitrarily enforcing family law into the lake to feed the fish."

  That hidden guard was stunned, seemingly not expecting that his appearance wasn't to drive away these royal guards, but rather to throw a woman into the lake? He stood still, his exposed eyes gazing at Yun Shang Yue with an odd expression. Was his skill being wasted on throwing a woman into the lake?

  "Didn't you just say your duty was to listen to my orders? How come? Isn't that so?" Yun Shangyue raised an eyebrow.

  He immediately turned around, and with a light swing of his sleeve, Feng Ce Fei's body flew out of the Shallow Moon Pavilion. The direction was exactly towards the only emerald lake in the Yun Wang Fu.

  "Yun Qianyue, you have a big nerve, how dare you... Ah..." A terrified cry echoed from afar, followed by a loud "splash" as someone heavily fell into the water. Apparently, Feng Ce Fei had fallen into the lake.

  "Not bad! I'll give you credit for this!" Yun Shangyue smiled, feeling satisfied. Only then did she feel a sense of relief in her heart.

  He stood still in silence, his face expressionless, only a pair of strange eyes visible.

  "Do you still want to use force?" Yun Shangyue didn't think much of this hidden guard's attitude, people with abilities often have strange temperaments. Just like the one she met yesterday, Rong Jing, and his servant by his side. She turned her head to look at the dozens of Wangfu hidden guards in front of her, her gaze sharp, "The duty of the Wangfu hidden guards is to protect the Wangfu, but you are participating in a domestic dispute between women, it's simply an insult to the identity of the Wangfu hidden guards. I will definitely go and report to Grandfather later, since you are not competent, might as well get rid of all of you to save trouble!"

  Those people were shocked and turned pale, looking at the hidden guard named Cloud Shallow Moon. He didn't even blink an eye. Dozens of people immediately turned their heads and knelt on the ground, saying in unison: "Miss Shallow Moon forgive us, we are also under the king's orders, everything is done according to Concubine Feng's instructions!"

  Yun Qian Yue followed the gaze of these people to her hidden guard, and obviously felt how they had a look that took him as the leader. She didn't bother to investigate carefully, and would slowly find out anyway. Withdrawing her line of sight, she indifferently looked at these people and said: "Whether or not to forgive you is still up to Grandfather to decide! I'm not in charge of this matter."

  Those people hung their heads and knelt on the ground, no longer speaking.

  "Do you have a name?" Yun Qianyue asked her hidden guard.

  "Don't leave!" The strange expression on the man's face faded away, his eyes becoming a dull, lifeless gray.

  "Alright, don't worry, I remember. Let's go, Grandpa is probably awake by now, let's go pay our respects!" With that, Yun Shangyue nodded and beckoned to Cai Lian, then turned to head outside.

  She went to Old Master Wang's courtyard to pay her respects, and also told him about yesterday's events and this morning's events, and thanked him for giving her such a good hidden guard. If not for today's encounter with Concubine Feng, she might have really suffered a loss.

  "Miss... then they..." Cai Lian pointed at the Wangfu hidden guards kneeling on the ground and asked.

  "Don't bother about them, maybe soon they won't be the hidden guards of this palace anymore." Yun Shangyue said without turning her head.

  Cai Lian nodded, thinking that Miss was indeed majestic today. However, after taking a glance at the maids and servants who were hugging their legs and lying on the ground, as well as the people in Feng Ce Fei's courtyard who were frightened silly, she couldn't help but feel worried. She leaned close to Yun Shang Yue and whispered, "Miss, I don't know why Wang Ye hasn't appeared, probably because he's not in the mansion. If Wang Ye finds out that you threw Feng Ce Fei into the lake, I'm afraid he'll scold Miss."

  "Have you ever seen Master Wang's greatest temper? How big can it be?" Yun Shangyue asked Cai Lian with a tilted head.

  "I don't know, I've only been following Miss for half a year and have only seen the prince a few times. All I know is that the prince doesn't like Miss, every time he sees her his face looks bad. But when I see him facing Eldest Miss, there's always a smile on his face, and he keeps praising Eldest Miss! The other misses are all liked by the prince, except for Miss...". Cai Lian stopped abruptly, seemingly afraid of hurting Yun Shang Yue, and quickly looked at her expression. Seeing that she was expressionless, she couldn't help but feel heartache. "Miss, maybe the prince just doesn't know your good qualities yet, once he knows them he'll like you..."

  "Hmm, I think so too, he just doesn't know my good side." Yun Shangyue nodded, but in her heart she didn't think so. If you don't like someone, then you just don't like them! She's not a hundred yuan note that everyone has to love. Even if she were a hundred yuan note, it's not like everyone would love her. Just thinking about those chattering women from yesterday makes me realize that her father must be a playboy, having given birth to a bunch of daughters, and there are probably many women around him too."

  The two quickly left Shallow Moon Pavilion and headed in the direction of Old Master Wang's residence, following the path they had taken yesterday.

  "If you want Consort Feng to live, then hurry up and save her now!" Mo Li said coldly, looking at the people in Consort Feng's courtyard.

  Those people seemed to have just woken up, some ran, some crawled, and those who couldn't run or crawl rolled with all their might. In the blink of an eye, a group of people rushed out of Shallow Moon Pavilion. Feng Ce Fei was their master, if they lost their lives, no matter whether the higher-ups would punish Miss Shallow Moon or not, but in their hearts, they knew that serving them was unlucky, and their lives were gone. Feng Ce Fei was the aunt of the Crown Prince's concubine. The Crown Prince's concubine and Feng Ce Fei were very close, and she would definitely not let them off.

  "The masters, we..." The remaining hidden guards looked at Mo Li. Although they had been following the orders of Phoenix Concubine, they hadn't actually laid a hand on Miss Shallow Moon in all these years. However, the other things that were unfavorable to Miss Shallow Moon, they had done many. After all, Phoenix Concubine's orders were the prince's orders, and they didn't dare disobey.

  "Since Miss has already informed Old Master Wang, you can wait for his decision!" Mo Li didn't look at the hidden guards and threw down a sentence before disappearing from sight.

  Those hidden guards hung their heads in shame. With Old Master Wang's doting on Shallow Moon Miss, their good days are probably coming to an end.

  Not far from the Shallow Moon Pavilion, Yun Shangyue felt a sense of relief and satisfaction. This time, she would let all the big and small ghosts in the Cloud King's palace know that she was not to be trifled with. From now on, anyone who wanted to oppose her would have to weigh their options carefully.

  Just as she was about to speak, Cai Lian suddenly grabbed Yun Shang Yue and exclaimed in alarm: "Miss, please quickly order someone to rescue Feng Ce Fei from the lake! She is the daughter of General Feng, the paternal aunt of the Crown Prince's consort. Moreover, the influential Wen Jiang Jun's household is the maternal uncle's household of the Crown Prince's consort, and many high-ranking officials in the court have connections with these two households through marriage or other relationships. If by any chance Feng Ce Fei were to die, this matter would become a huge scandal."

  Yun Shang stopped in her tracks, not expecting this woman to be so influential. But then she thought that if it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't have been able to enter the Yun Wang Fu as a side consort either! After thinking for a moment, she furrowed her brow and asked: "How deep is the lake?"

  "Miss, you've been devoted to the Crown Prince all these years. That lake is the only large one in our Yunwang Fu, not like a small pond, can't the water be deep?" Cai Lian said urgently.

  "That woman is really detestable! I don't want to save her." Yun Shangyue shook his head, feeling disgusted at the thought of Feng Ce's expression.

  "Miss... no way! You'd better go save people quickly! Although Feng Ce Fei is hateful, but yesterday you set fire to Wang Chun Lou, today if Feng Ce Fei dies again, adding these two things together, even if Jing Shi Zi saved you the first time, he might not be able to save you a second time!" Cai Lian tightly grasped Yun Shang Yue, her small face deathly pale, eyes red-rimmed, and she was on the verge of tears.

  Yun Shallow Moon thought so too. Irritated, she waved her hand, "Then go call someone to hurry up and rescue them!"

  Cai Lian was overjoyed and immediately ran back to call for help. She didn't really want to save Feng Ce Fei, but rather didn't want Miss to get implicated because of this.

  Yun Shallow Moon pouted, lifted her steps and continued to walk towards the courtyard of Yun Lao Wang Ye. Although she disliked Feng Ce Fei, after all, it was a human life, and she wasn't that ruthless yet. Moreover, this woman seemed to be unable to die anyway. She hoped that after saving her, she would learn a lesson. Otherwise, don't blame her for being heartless and cruel.
