"That's enough, shut up." Enraged by Shen Yan'er, Phoenix Ke let out a low roar, "That's right, I do want to save someone, but I have been struggling to find an effective way, it was your appearance that made me see hope, but it was also you who made me fall into deeper despair." ”

Yu'er's death greatly shook Feng Feng Ke's state of mind, making the calm he had been painstakingly maintaining become fragile and agitated. He is isolated and silently bears a responsibility, knowingly committing crimes about the walking dead. As a prince who used to be kind and virtuous in his mouth, he also stifled part of his conscience while converting. His restlessness and irritability are the embodiment of his ambivalence.

In front of the bleak and silent tombs, Shen Yan'er, who was also about to lose control, looked at Phoenix Ke with hatred. Shen Yan'er inhaled deeply, trying to calm herself up. There is no point in digging into the secrets of Phoenix Ke's heart, because Phoenix Ke will not be open and honest with Shen Yan'er, who has a closer relationship with King Ning and Concubine Wan. It is already a great gain to be able to make Phoenix Ke admit in person that "he really wants to save someone".

The cold mountain breeze blew past the two people who looked at each other in a tense atmosphere, and the strange silence lasted for a while, and the hot and swollen heads of both gradually calmed down. Shen Yan'er no longer pressed to get to the bottom of it step by step, and Phoenix Ke's love was finally restored.

"I'm crazy to be tortured by you......" As if admitting defeat, Phoenix Ke turned his head in the direction of the tombs. More than 20 innocent lives of the Shen family were sleeping in the tombs one after another, and the incriminating evidence listed in front of him made Phoenix Ke, who was extremely good at concealing his feelings, also frowned, revealing a look of self-blame and guilt.

"Your sister's death is indeed to blame......" In a faint voice, Phoenix Ke finally confessed to Shen Yan'er in person. This is an act that is enough to make everyone who knows him feel inconceivable when he is bent on his own way.

Shen Yan'er didn't expect him to be so calm and direct, staring blankly at his side face with sadness and sincerity.

"I'm here today to make up for a little mistake. Of course, I know that this is not enough......" Phoenix Ke didn't look at Shen Yan'er at all, as if Shen Yan'er's gaze had the ability to rob him of calm speech. It's not because of his pride or arrogance, but because of nervousness, unprecedented tension.

"As long as you open your mouth, I can compensate you with a qiē method."

After saying this, Phoenix Kecai finally moved his gaze back to Shen Yan'er's face, and looked at Shen Yan'er who was speechless in shock with a look expecting an answer.

"Compensation?" Shen Yan'er, who couldn't believe that she had heard these two words just now, was stunned to confirm with Feng Feng Ke, and after seeing Feng Feng Ke nodding lightly, she dared to believe that there was no problem with her ears.

Then ...... "Stop the cruel walking corpse experiment—this is Shen Yan'er's deepest desire." But the moment this sentence just came to mind, Shen Yan'er herself realized that it was impossible for Phoenix Ke to agree.

So, Shen Yan'er swallowed this sentence hard, and calmly made a very rational request: "Then ...... Let's be free. She didn't save the person you wanted to save, it's useless for you......"

Shen Yan'er trembled when she spoke, after all, the other party was the supreme emperor, what qualifications did she have as a folk girl to make such a request to him? However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that may allow Baoyin to regain her freedom, and Shen Yan'er doesn't want to miss it like this.

"Yes." To Shen Yan'er's surprise, Feng Feng Ke agreed without thinking too much. It's as refreshing as when he promised to "stop walking corpses as long as Shen Yan'er tells the secret of being bitten by a walking corpse and not dying".

Shen Yan'er didn't dare to be gullible, and looked at Phoenix Ke with a vigilant gaze. Sure enough, Phoenix Ke paused for a moment and then added, "However, after I find the person named Xiao Hei." ”

To put it bluntly, it is to exchange Xiaohei for Baoyin, which makes no sense.

Shen Yan'er couldn't help but let out a sneer, and laughed at Feng Fengke's "kindness". However, Phoenix Ke's words can prove that Xiao Hei is still free at the moment, and Shen Yan'er couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief while being angry.

"You are so scheming, I dare not trust you anymore. Even if you release Bao Yin, you will definitely send someone to follow her and find her where she lives, relatives and friends. When the time comes, there will be more innocent victims like my father and my sister-in-law......"

After gradually becoming familiar with Phoenix Ke, Shen Yan'er could already infer his plans from his words and deeds, and even from his eyes. Although he is not a heinous villain who is bad to the bone, Shen Yan'er does not dare to look at him optimistically.

"If you really want to compensate me, then let me out of the palace and set me free." Shen Yan'er suddenly changed her wish. After Yu'er's death, there is no reason for her to remain in the palace, and the only thing that can bind her is the morality of finding out the truth and stopping the walking corpse test. However, she can't do anything while she is under house arrest in the Snow Palace. Instead of wasting time trapped in the Hail Snow Palace, it is better to regain your freedom, and maybe have a chance to help Xiao Hei.

However, to Shen Yan'er's surprise, after Feng Feng Ke heard this request, her calm and indifferent expression immediately disappeared, and she became nervous and sensitive. "Nope." Again, the answer was given without deep thought, but this time it was a straightforward veto.

"Why?" Shen Yan'er looked at him in surprise. Shen Yan'er thought that the reason why Phoenix Ke paid special attention to herself was purely because she wanted to know the reason why she didn't die after being bitten by the walking corpse. Now that the truth has been exposed, he has long been useless to Phoenix Ke, and it stands to reason that he should not be objected to when he proposes to leave the palace.

However, Feng Feng Ke suddenly stepped forward and approached Shen Yan'er, repeating what he had just said in a threatening tone with a hint of threat, and in a heavier tone: "No." His gaze was persistent and firm, which made Shen Yan'er a little afraid.

"It's just you, no......" Phoenix Ke said very seriously.

Shen Yan'er didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and stared blankly at the phoenix's solemn expression. The stubbornness in his eyes was not the unreasonable threat he had before, but became more softened, with a little tenderness and ambiguity, and even a little panic, as if he was suddenly a little panicked after hearing that Shen Yan'er wanted to leave the palace.

For a long time to come, neither Shen Yan'er nor Phoenix Ke spoke again. Shen Yan'er didn't know how to speak because she was inexplicable, and it was also because of Phoenix Ke's abnormal attitude that she didn't expect.

As for Phoenix Ke, his silence was even more strange. It was as if he couldn't believe what he shouldn't have said, so he was so surprised that he couldn't continue to speak, and he was afraid to say something that even he thought was ridiculous.

Only then did he realize for the first time that Shen Yan'er was no longer just a hostage. In his heart, Shen Yan'er's existence has taken on another meaning.
