Volume 2: The Phoenix Descends Upon the World, Shocking the Swan Goose; Battle King's Furious Blaze 023

  "Goodness gracious, what's going on? You guys said the War King's Consort went to the Forbidden Land?"

  A urgent cry for help entered Ruan Qindeng's ears, she looked carefully and saw a group of palace maids searching for something. She dodged into the tall patch of fragrant grass flowers and listened to their conversation clearly.

  "The king said that even if we have to turn the palace upside down, we must find the queen! Let's hurry up and search, or else we'll definitely be in trouble!"

  A young palace maid said with a sorrowful face, in her heart she revered the war king and his orders were not to be disobeyed.

  "If we really enter the forbidden land, where can we escape?"

  "That's right, I've heard that no one can come out alive from the forbidden land. Once you enter, you'll never be able to leave."

  "How frightening! How could the National Master possibly live in a place like that?"

  "I don't know, but in my opinion, the War King's Consort is probably already inside the forbidden area!"

  "Ah! Isn't the War King's Consort already dead?"

  The little palace maid cried out in great shock and fear, her small face full of panic. If they couldn't find the War King's consort, wouldn't she have to be buried with him?!

  "Who did you say is dead?"

  A voice full of anger, like a big drum shaking violently, scared the little palace maid to tears. Lifting her head to look at the shadow shrouding herself, she was even more frightened and pale.

  "See - see the King of War below!"

  "See the King of War!"

  A row of palace maids and inner servants hastily bowed their heads in greeting, their voices all trembling with fear. They kept their heads down, not daring to look at War King Cloud Qianye.

  "Repeat what you just said!"

  On Yun Qianye's cold and stern face, the star-like eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows shone with a sharp and substantial killing intent. His tall and slender figure was clad in a noble purple long robe, the fluttering sleeves flashing before one's eyes, making it hard for people to look straight at him.

  "The War King's Consort seems to have entered forbidden territory, it's definitely more ominous than auspicious!"

  The little princess spoke timidly, extremely afraid of the war king in her heart, and didn't dare to hide anything.

  "Damn it! Who brought her here?"

  A sharp cold light floated up in Yun Qianye's eyes, and a chill ran through everyone from the bottom of their hearts, causing their hair to stand on end.

  All the palace ladies heard this and did not dare to speak.

  Yun Qianye's body grew colder by the minute, and everyone's heart was on edge.

  "Imperial brother, don't get angry, it's just a woman!"

  The queen, Liu Ruyan, hastily came to his front, with a smile on her face, and opened her mouth to speak. A hint of triumphant cold smile floated in the bottom of her eyes, and she was secretly surprised at the position of Ruan Qincheng in the heart of the war king. It seems that getting rid of her is the right decision. Hum, she just doesn't believe that anyone can come out alive from the forbidden land!

  The queen's face also rose with a schadenfreude expression, and in her heart, she secretly cursed: That little cheap woman is dead, it's better to be thorough! Old ginger is still spicy, once you enter the forbidden land, there is no way for her to survive! Hahaha!

  "I report to Your Highness, it is indeed an invitation from Her Majesty the Empress for Your Consort to come and enjoy a leisurely outing!"

  Mo Jian held Long Yin sword behind him, saying calmly. It was the first time he saw Wang Ye so angry, but it was for Ruan Qindeng, who was like a discarded queen. I really don't know how that woman could have such magical powers to make Wang Ye care so much!

  "Was it you who brought her here?"

  Yun Qianye's eyes narrowed slightly, coldly staring at Empress Liu Ruyan. A dangerous aura emanated from him. Ruan Xindeng was his woman, and even if he didn't like her anymore, he wouldn't allow anyone to bully her!

  The queen, Liu Ruyan, met his icy and bloodthirsty gaze, her heart skipping a beat. Her fingers tightened around her sleeve, cold sweat seeping out on her forehead. A smile was forced onto her crimson lips as she said with an air of self-importance:

  "Imperial brother, don't misunderstand, the imperial sister-in-law just stepped out for a moment and then disappeared. If she really entered the forbidden area, it's her own fault—"

  "Bang—"

  A crisp slap echoed through the air, amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd.

  "How dare you strike me!"

  The queen, Liu Ruyan, was pointing at Yun Qianye with a trembling finger, her powdered face bearing the clear imprint of a palm. The entire person stumbled back several steps after being slapped. The burning pain on her face wasn't what made her feel most humiliated; it was the gazes of the surrounding palace maids and imperial concubines, as well as those of Zhenfei, that truly made her want to die from shame.

  "Hum! This is what you get for yourself! If there's any fault with the current queen of Japan, I'll have your head on a platter!"

  Yun Qianye's bloodthirsty voice made everyone's blood run cold again. Empress Liu Ruyan was even more pale, her face as white as gold paper, where was the color of a human being?

  Zhen Fei heard this and was even more furious, her mind filled with jealousy!

  "Mojian, you stay here and guard, I'll go in and bring out this foolish woman! Wherever she goes, she dares to barge in recklessly, truly seeking death!"

  Yun Qianye's mouth was full of complaints, but his heart couldn't help but feel worried. He took big strides in the direction of the forbidden land, with an air that made people dare not block him.

  "Your Highness, you can't! That's a forbidden place where no one is allowed to enter!"

  Mo Jian's heart suddenly tightened, and he hastily used his body to block in front of Yun Qianye.

  "If it's the king who wants to find the queen, then let Mo Jian go ahead!"

  "No need for that, I'll go in myself!"

  Yun Qianye said firmly, "This forbidden land is home to the National Master. Ordinary people who enter will only find a dead end. I'm the only one who can bring that woman out! I hope she's still alive!"

  "Your Highness, don't go! That little scoundrel is only worthy of holding your shoes for you. Why risk your precious life?"

  Zhen Fei saw Yun Qianye determined to take risks alone, and her jealousy and hatred surged, wishing that Ruan Xinzhi would die inside. Where would she be willing to let him go rescue?

  "Get out! You're not even worthy of carrying her shoes!"

  Yun Qianye kicked open the door with one foot and stepped forward, his overbearing voice filled with cold intent.

  All the palace maids and eunuchs were even more fearful, this whole country was afraid of only one person, who dared to directly lay hands on the emperor's favorite concubine and empress!

  "Ah——you actually treat me like this!"

  Zhen Fei let out a loud cry and fell to the ground, shouting in a flustered manner.

  Upon hearing the commotion, Third Prince and Fourth Prince, who had come to watch the excitement, both twitched at the corners of their mouths and deep worry colors surged up in their eyes.

  Second Brother, what kind of madness is this?

  Isn't he openly defying the eldest prince?

  According to the eldest brother's temperament of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", if the second brother goes on this expedition, and the eldest brother sabotages it, then the second brother will be in danger!

  Although Yun Qianye understood the pros and cons, he was calm and rational. However, when he heard that Ruan Qindeng had gone missing and might have entered the forbidden area of Silver Lotus Lake, where no one returned alive, his anger couldn't be contained!

  Moreover, the War King has never feared anyone since ancient times, even if it was Yun Huang. If someone touches his reverse scales, he will not show mercy!

  Just as he had just walked to the lavender path, a stunning figure appeared in front of everyone. When they saw her perfect and flawless face, everyone was amazed.

  The sound of gasping for air was incessant.

  "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I accidentally fell asleep here just now!"

  Ruan Qincen smiled slightly, and her smile was as radiant as a flower!

  "I didn't expect it to be so lively!"
