Chapter 7: Unparalleled Beauty

  Remember in one second

  The dungeon in Yin Cheng's mouth is not a place where ordinary prisoners are held, but all the people who are detained there are characters that Yin Cheng wants to kill but cannot kill.

  The guards left after locking Fei Dian in the cell, and he put his hands around his chest to observe his surroundings. Suddenly, he heard someone behind him shout, "Hey, newcomer, what's your identity?"

  She turned her head and saw a woman leaning against the prison door opposite, although she was disheveled and dirty, her distinctive face could still be seen, as well as the charm that emanated from her bones.

  The woman was also sizing up Fei Dian. When Fei Dian turned around, she thought this must be one of the emperor's concubines who thought it would be fun to dress up as a man. Looking again, although this person looked extremely beautiful, their beauty lay in their heroic and refreshing demeanor, and their figure was also that of a standard male.

  The girl sat up straight, smoothing out her hair at the temples.

  Fei Yan glanced at her and then coldly shifted his gaze away, as if this woman was completely unattractive.

  The woman was somewhat angry, stood up and shouted through the prison door at Fei Dian, "Hey, I'm talking to you, can't you hear? Are you deaf or mute? Believe it or not, I'll kill you with a flying needle!"

  "Before asking others about their identity," Fei Dian glanced at the woman with his narrow eyes, slightly turned his body to face her directly and said, "Don't you know that you should first reveal your own identity?"

  The woman who was just shouting to shoot him dead couldn't say a word, her round eyes spinning around his clear and bright eyes, high nose, and then she saw his spotless white clothes and scattered long hair, the woman couldn't help but think of phrases like "clear water produces lotus flowers".

  。

  She claimed to have seen countless men, but a handsome man like him who exuded an icy noble aura from head to toe was someone she had never met before. Even the most revered young emperor in their country couldn't compare to this young man, who had an extra dose of arrogance and lacked an inch of nobility.

  "You're really good-looking..." The woman said unintentionally.

  However, this was not what Fei Dian wanted to hear at the moment. He turned his face back and stopped looking at the woman, starting to look around for a way out.

  The girl found herself being a bit rude, and quickly withdrew her dazed gaze, smiling and saying, "Little brother, my name is Yan Wushuang. I was ordered by someone to sneak into the palace and steal something, but I didn't succeed. I was caught by that little emperor's guard. He couldn't kill me, so he locked me up here."

  Fei Yan stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall, hearing an echo, thinking it might be solid, estimating that there was no way to pass through.

  Even if you ignore her, the woman continued to say, "I know you must be very curious why the Little Emperor can't kill me. Because I am not a courtier, if the Little Emperor kills me, there will be a group of people who are difficult to deal with and they will avenge me."

  Fei Dian bowed down and knocked on the ground, seemingly unable to get out either.

  "Actually, the people locked in this dungeon, even the little emperor wouldn't kill them. You must be someone with a special status too, or you wouldn't be locked up here. Who are you? Tell sister!"

  "You're saying... Little Emperor won't kill me?" Fei Dian suddenly heard something that piqued his interest, so he responded to the woman named Yan Wushuang.

  But the woman couldn't answer anymore, she hugged the wooden pillar on the prison gate, staring at the flying electric sparks with a dazed expression.

  Grandma had previously told Fei Dian that as a high-level fox demon like him, just one glance at someone else's woman would immediately mesmerize them. Now Fei Dian was certain of this, but he found Yan Wushuang's gaze particularly annoying.

  "Or else I'll dig out your eyeballs." Fei Dian said coldly, finally bringing Yan Wushuang back to her senses.

  "Hey! I didn't expect you to look like a vase and still have some skills, can you dig out my eyes through two prison doors?" Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "I guess, you're just the little eunuch sent by Rui Wang to seduce the young emperor, Rui Wang knows the young emperor doesn't get close to women, so he sent a man over, hahaha...Rui Wang is really..."

  Yan Wushuang was smiling, when suddenly a "squeak" sound came from behind her. She turned around and saw a mouse sneaking out.

  。

  "My goodness, no wonder I've been feeling itchy on my back lately. It turns out that we've had mice infestation! In a few days, I must report this to the young emperor. The environment of this palace is really dirty and messy!"

  Yan Wushuang scolded by herself and stepped forward, lifting her foot to trample the old mouse to death.

  Fei Dian suddenly stretched out a hand towards the old mouse and crooked his finger, saying "Come here."

  The old mouse originally wanted to crawl into the hole, but when it heard the sound of Fei Dian, it immediately ran from Yan Wushuang's cell to Fei Dian's cell.

  The flying electrician bent down, lifted the mouse's paw and looked at it, then said, "Your paws are very sharp, help me pry open the prison door."

  The mouse squeaked twice, climbed up the lock on the door and stuck its paw into the keyhole. After a bit of fiddling, there was a "click" sound, and the lock hanging from the door opened.

  Yan Wusong was completely stunned, and the moment she saw the mouse open the door, she suddenly thought of Fei Dian's words: "Let me see if I believe you or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs."

  If he could sleep through it, then even if mice dug out his own eyes, or even ate him, it wouldn't be a problem...

  The prison door opened, and Fei Dian walked out. Yan Wushuang finally came back to her senses, stretching her hand out of the prison door in an attempt to grab Fei Dian. "Hey, little brother, let that divine mouse of yours help me open the prison door..."

  Fei Yan didn't understand her and continued walking. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned back to ask Yin Wushuang, "What's the little emperor's name?"

  The woman was somewhat incredulous, "You don't know the name of the Little Emperor? You're not from our country of Li?"

  Fei Dian's expressionless face stared at her, clearly too lazy to respond.

  "The young emperor is called Yin Sheng (fourth tone), he's only fifteen years old this year, but has already been an emperor for three years."

  Fei Yan completely ignored the woman's words behind him, muttering to himself "Yin Chen, Yin Chen". After repeating it several times, he suddenly raised a faint smile. "He's actually called Yin Chen, could it be because of his excessive yin and declining yang? No wonder he doesn't approach women..."

  Yan Wusong never thought that a man who looked so serious would actually make fun of the Little Emperor's name, and his slightly raised lips and slightly mocking expression, how could he completely not be hated... Even mockery can be expressed in this way, this man is absolutely the master of chaos.

  ！

  Yan Wusong collected her thoughts and said, "Although the people of our Li country all mock the Little Emperor's name in their hearts, you are the only one I have seen who dares to laugh at the truth. Sister appreciates you, what is your name?"

  Fei Dian got the answer he wanted and walked out lightly, leaving only one sentence for Yan Wushuang:

  "I'm not used to treating inferior creatures as sisters."

  ……

  It was already the third watch of the night, but the imperial city still shone brightly with lights.

  In the golden hall, only Yin Chen and Feng Lingyu were present. Yin Chen held a memorial in his hand, completely devoid of his usual frivolity and laziness. He spoke to Feng Lingyu in front of the hall, "Feng Gong, Liangzhou is plagued by locusts, but Rui Wang has submitted a petition saying that the locust disaster is a heavenly calamity, not a human one. If we were to capture and kill the locusts, our country would suffer heavenly punishment. I don't know what to say to him."

  Feng Lingxiao smiled, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that our country of Li invited the 'Suixu Mirror' recorded auspicious and blessed holy girl? With the holy girl in our country of Li, how can there be a natural disaster? This locust plague is naturally not a punishment from the heavens for dissatisfaction with our country of Li. Your Majesty can rest assured to deal with the locusts, and also take the opportunity to show off his majesty."

  "Oh? How can I deal with him?" Yin Sheng put down the memorial in his hand and asked.

  "Your Majesty..."

  Before Feng Lingxue could finish speaking, a black-clad man entered from outside the Nourishing Heart Palace and knelt down on one knee in the center of the great hall.

  Yin Sheng hastily went forward, "Jing, what have you found out?"

  The man called Mirror did not get up. "Your Majesty, I am useless. That person seems to have really come from another world and has no connection with our world."

  Feng Lingyan saw that the black-clad man was one of Yin Chen's shadow guards, and they never spoke in hushed tones around Feng Lingyan. Feng Lingyan walked forward and asked, "Your Majesty is investigating the information about today's Holy Maiden?"

  “…Feng Qing didn’t know, I originally thought he was just a Jianghu master who came to save the country with Rui Wang, but unexpectedly today he used the birds in the palace to help me find the cat. I feel a bit uneasy…” said Yin Sheng

  。

  "It doesn't matter who he is, Your Majesty doesn't need to investigate his background. Just keep a close eye on him. There are many extraordinary people in the world, and it's impossible to know for sure what kind of person he is. For now, he is an important chess piece for us, regardless of whether or not he is a man of the former king."

  Yin Sheng thought for a moment and felt that it was reasonable, so he said to the mirror kneeling on the ground, "Mirror, you can go down first. I won't punish you for this matter."

  Jing Xie En nodded his head in gratitude, then flickered and disappeared before Yin Sheng and Feng Ling Yan.

  The wind was blowing wildly as he patted his chest, and with a hint of helplessness, he said to Yin Chen, "Your Majesty, you should let your Shadow Guards change their habit of suddenly appearing and disappearing."

  "Hmm... Since Feng Qing said so, I will definitely do it."

  The wind whispers a smile, continuing to say, "As for what was just mentioned, it can be used to set up the King of Rui with one move. Your Majesty can summon Wei Wenchao, the Zhong San Daifu, to Liangzhou to govern the locusts. Although Wei Wenchao is recommended by the King of Rui, in the court, everyone has heard that this person is upright and unyielding, with a heart for the people, regardless of who is above him as long as those below are well-off. I think Your Majesty can take advantage of this opportunity to let Wei Wenchao break free from the King of Rui's control and truly serve Your Majesty."

  Yin Sheng scratched his head, "Still, Mr. thought it through, some of the new officials in the court are not necessarily people I can recognize."

  "I know Your Majesty has been hiding your light and biding your time, only to make a final move at the last moment."

  The young monarch immediately let go of these worries, looked at the memorials that had been reviewed and sighed lightly, "I don't know what can truly control my empire, I am really tired."

  His face suddenly showed an unseasonable sense of vicissitude, which also made the great Taifu who had seen him grow up feel a pang in his heart.

  "Your Majesty, I have always known that you have no passion for power, but this empire must not fall into the hands of outsiders. Even if Your Majesty is unwilling to be the emperor, you must wait until Prince Huán grows up, and before he does, Your Majesty must pave the way for him!"

  Yin Sheng felt a bit wronged. He suddenly thought that he was only fifteen years old, but he only threw a tantrum for a short while because he knew he wasn't qualified to complain anymore.

  "Thank you for your teachings, Master," Yin Chen bowed his hands and said, "I will definitely do my best to serve you!"
