Tyrant's Consort Too Arrogant

If it were not for the fact that they were paying close attention to their conversation, the people who occasionally passed by would never have thought that the man sitting opposite of Lord Pei in the imperial court was their number one enemy, Yan Han.

At this point, Yan Han had a smile on his face as he asked, "Master Pei, you just said that my plan for the near future will be carried out, right?"

"Since Your Majesty is able to come personally, how could Ruochen dare to not bring out the greatest amount of sincerity to entertain Your Majesty?" Pei Ruochen replied indifferently.

"But after this is done, how will you announce it to the world?" Yan Han continued to ask with great interest, "After killing He Lan Chun, Pei Rulan's son ascended to the throne, and you as the Regent, while this is not bad, it does not go unnoticed in the world."

"Naturally, I don't need to do it." Pei Ruochen smiled, "Didn't He Lan Xue and He Lan Qin escape? Will they just let go of their enmity of killing their mother? "

"So you were going to blame them." Yan Han said, "However, it's still not appropriate for you to release He Lan Qin."

"Is Your Majesty afraid? Was there still a rival like He Lan Qin in the Sky Dynasty? " Pei Ruochen asked with a light smile.

"What do you think?" Yan Han did not answer directly, but instead moved on to the topic he had just settled, "If Master Pei causes trouble, the Yan Kingdom will definitely keep their promise and attract most of the armies from the north. But after this is done, Master Pei will keep his promise and surrender thirteen cities from the north, and pay tribute every year."

"Naturally."

"In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation." Yan Han suddenly turned his head towards the window and shouted: "Who is it?!"

Pei Ruochen stood up and opened the doors to the hall.

There were shadows of trees outside the window, and the sun was shining brightly. There was no one there.

"He's gone." Yan Han said lightly, "Listening to the footsteps, it's a woman."

Pei Ruochen knitted her eyebrows as she walked towards He Lan's residence with quick steps.

Yan Han remained where he was, calmly sipping his tea. When Pei Ruochen's figure disappeared into the shadows of the trees, a black-clothed man landed gracefully from the roof and respectfully kneeled in front of Yan Han.

"Who is it?" Yan Han asked calmly.

"Queen Rong." the man replied.

Yan Han was silent for a moment. The hand holding the teacup slightly tightened and then slowly loosened up. His face was cut with knives and axes, and he was determined and calm. "Where is her answer?"

"Miss Yi said that she will not leave Helan Xue."

With a 'pa' sound, the cup shattered and water flowed down onto the table. There was actually some blood colored liquid.

Pei Ruochen's footsteps were swift and sure enough, after walking for a short while, he saw a yellowish figure disappearing from He Lan's room in a fluster.

He sighed in his heart as he slowed down his pace and came to a stop in front of He Lan's door.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

There was no reply.

Pei Ruochen felt helpless and could only say, "Princess, I know you're inside. If you don't open the door, I'll have to break in."

There was finally a sound from inside. After a series of footsteps, the door was opened. Helan, who was wearing a red dress, stood angrily at the door.

"Where's the Queen?" Pei Ruochen didn't even glance at her as she directly walked past her and headed inside.

"Pei Ruochen!" He Lan Lang suddenly turned around and shouted towards his back, "You're betraying the country!"

"You can go and inform them now, you can let He Lan Chun capture Yan Han and I, but you have to remember, you just lost two of your brothers – regardless of whether they are really dead or not, He Lan Chun really wanted to kill them. Princess, I am your husband. He is your big brother. You can choose. " Pei Ruochen said in an indifferent tone as she continued moving forward.

The back door opened and it was clear that Rong Xiu had already run out.

Without any hesitation, he flickered into motion and followed.

He left Helan standing alone at the draught of the gate. His hair was messed up by the draught, and the ends of his hair were blown into his eyes. It was so sour that he was crying.

Pei Ruochen chased him all the way to the main street, where there was an endless stream of people and a bustling market.

He didn't pursue her, but waved his hand to summon the two of them. He lightly ordered, "Guard all entrances and exits from the palace. If we discover her …" After a short pause, he finally said, "Kill them all."

Glimmers danced in his eyes before he fell silent.

The man obeyed, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of Death Soldiers wearing civilian clothes melted into the crowd.

He Lan Xue and her group left the inn and walked all the way to the city gate.

Feng Jiu rented a carriage and allowed He Lan Xue and Yi to sit inside it. Feng Qi was in charge of driving the carriage, and Feng Jiu pretended to be an accountant. He walked to the left and right of He Lan Qin and Yi Jian, his bodyguards.

From the looks of it, it looked just like an ordinary family going out to avoid their relatives.

Inside the carriage, her eyes were wide open as she stared at He Lan Xue who was just inches away from her. The amazement on her face hadn't faded since the morning.

She turned her face to the street outside the window.

"A Xue, you're so beautiful." After being stunned for a while, she finally let out the sigh that had been lingering in her heart for a long time.

He Lan Xue coldly snorted. She didn't feel that it was such a compliment.

'My beloved doesn't treat me as a man anymore. How can I continue to be like that in the future? '

"A Xue, be my model when you get back." The woman said again.

Thinking back, she hadn't painted in a long time.

However, looking at this kind of He Lan Xue, she also had the urge to draw him down.

He Lan Xue glared at her and snappily said, "No, you leave behind the evidence. In the future, you'll show it to our children. Then, wouldn't I lose a lot of face?"

Her lover was stunned.

Child?

She stretched out her hands to scratch her head and smiled coyly. She propped herself up on the wooden stool and moved her gaze to the window.

The wheels were dull and rhythmic.

Listening to her, her vision gradually blurred, and her eyelids gradually drooped down.

The city gate was getting closer and closer.

Feng Qi suddenly reminded, "He Lan Xue, we're reaching the city gate."

He Lan Xue's expression turned serious. Just as she was about to wake her up, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the sudden stop made the two people inside fall forward. She quickly opened her arms, and with a 'bang', her forehead hit his chest. The person wrapped in the goose-colored clothes looked like a ghost.

He Lan Xue was about to defend herself, but when she saw who had arrived, she was shocked. "It's you?"

Houlan also rubbed her eyes and crawled out from Houlan's bosom. While she was sitting down, she looked towards that person.

Even though she was panic-stricken and pale-faced, it was still impossible to conceal her beauty as an orchid in a valley. Her beauty was soft and light, so under such circumstances, she looked even more beautiful than before instead of bedraggled.

"My beloved …" Murong Xiu panicked and didn't know where to go. For a moment, he didn't recognize He Lan Xue. He only recognized her and said happily, "If Pei Ruochen wants to kill me, can I hide up here?"

The woman nodded and moved to the side.

She immediately climbed into the carriage and waited for the doors to close before a few people in ordinary gray clothes hurried over.

Rong Xiu held her breath. It was only when they were far away that she finally felt a little relieved and had time to take a look at the scenery inside the carriage.

Her eyes were still as sleepy as usual. Opposite her sat another girl, tall and beautiful, who looked familiar but couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

Seeing that Rong Xiu was perplexed, Yi Ren was about to poke He Lan Xue, but She Lan Xue coughed and turned to get out of the car.

"What happened?" He Lan Qin walked up to the carriage and asked.

He Lan Qin had dressed up and looked like a bearded man. Even Rong Xiu couldn't recognize him.

However, He Lan Qin was able to recognize her. He was startled at first, but after looking at She Lan Xue, he remained calm and collected. He turned his head to ask her, "Miss, who is she?"

She was at a loss as to how to reply, but she quickly replied, "I was being chased by my enemies. I just want to hide here for a bit, then get off the car. I won't implicate you."

"Why would Pei Ruochen want to kill you?" The girl asked in confusion, not caring about anything else as she heard her say the words' Chou family will kill '.

"He wants to betray the country, sell the dynasty to the Yan Kingdom, and …" It will be detrimental to your majesty as well. " When she said those last words, the worry and anger on her face were obvious.

He Lan Xue was sitting on the other side. She looked at him coldly while listening coldly. Her expression didn't change at all.

Her lover just remained silent.

"Oh right, my beloved, why are you here? Who are they? " Rong Xiu finally realized the situation she was in and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you with A Xue? A Xue, you really didn't die? "

Hearing what Pei Ruochen said just now, it seemed that He Lan Xue and He Lan Qin weren't dead.

The great fire yesterday did not seem to be an accident …

"Oh," Haeru was pondering over how to answer her question when He Lanqin quickly replied, "We are the family members of the Pei household. The lady sitting on the other side is the new concubine that Lord Pei hired. She has something to attend to so she can return home."

Upon hearing that it was Pei Ruochen's family, Rong Xiu's face turned even paler. He Lan Qin then said, "However, we won't do anything against the will of heaven. You can hide in the carriage. If we want to leave the city, will you follow us?"

After a moment of hesitation, she hardened her heart and said, "Then I'll be troubling you. Take me out of the city."

Going back to the palace to report to the police was no longer feasible.

In addition, Rong Xiu was starting to suspect that the great meeting at the palace yesterday, He Lan Chun, was doing it on purpose.

During the entire time they were talking, He Lan Xue didn't say anything.

Rongxiu sat next to her husband and did not pay much attention to him. She turned around to face him and repeated his question, "My wife, do you know about A Xue's situation? And, why are you here? "

Houlan looked at her, not knowing how to reply.

"A Xue really didn't die, right?" After staying in the palace for such a long time, Rong Xiu's observation skills were much better than most people. When she heard his question, there was no sadness on her face. She knew that He Lan Xue must be fine.

"Right." Her lover answered subconsciously.

Rong Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "So, it was Pei Ruochen who arranged for you to meet A Xue outside of the city?"
