Chapter 17: Ruthless
After Ling Yufei left the Prime Minister's Mansion, she went directly to the palace instead of returning to the Night Palace, and along the way she kept thinking about how to explain to Nangong Ye so that he would not be suspicious.
Because she knew very well that Nangong Ye was a suspicious person by nature, she used a trick to get rid of the two palace maids who followed, he would definitely have doubts about her whereabouts, she had to think of her words first, and she must not let him see any flaws.
Although Ling Yufei and Nangong Ye have no feelings, in the eyes of others, they are still a legitimate husband and wife, and she is still the incomparably noble Night Princess, so when she entered the palace, she was not hindered in any way, and everyone looked at her with very respectful eyes.
Because Nangong Ye has now won the throne, in everyone's eyes, Ling Yufei should naturally be the queen.
"Lord Wang, are you there?" Ling Yufei knew that Nangong Ye was in the imperial study by inquiring, so he quickly came to the imperial study, and only when he saw Nangong Ye could he know what he was going to do next.
"Where have you been? Willing to come back? Nangong Ye's face was a little gloomy, and his gaze at Ling Yufei was also very sharp, especially after he knew that the two palace maids he sent had lost Ling Yufei.
Although Nangong Ye knew that Ling Yufei was on the same front as him, but at such a critical juncture, he would not allow any mistakes, so he must be cautious.
"Fei'er went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are too many things, and the two palace maids sent by the prince to help have been separated again, so Fei'er has not finished moving until now." Ling Yufei pretended to be a little aggrieved, fortunately, she had already guessed that Nangong Ye would ask her this question, otherwise she didn't know how to answer for a while.
"How can we get separated?" Nangong Ye didn't see anything unusual about Ling Yufei, but he was still a little skeptical of what she said, especially before leaving the palace, he had already told the two palace maids to follow Ling Yufei step by step.
"Maybe there were too many people in the market, and Fei'er walked too fast, always thinking that they were following behind, but when I arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, I found that they had disappeared." Ling Yufei had already thought of these words, so even if she was lying, she couldn't find any flaws.
"What did you come to me for?" Nangong Ye temporarily believed what Ling Yufei said, because it happened that the two palace maids also said that they were separated from Ling Yufei in the bazaar.
"Fei'er just wants to ask, did the prince catch Nangong Yi and Ling Yuwei?" Ling Yufei asked this on purpose, because she wanted to make Nangong Ye feel that she still hated Nangong Yi and Ling Yuwei.
It was for this reason that she agreed to cooperate with Nangong Ye at the beginning, at that time she really hated Ling Yuwei and Nangong Yi very much, and the only thought in her heart was to take revenge on them, but now those hatreds have long disappeared.
"This king caught Nangong Yi, as for Ling Yuwei, it's not that important." Nangong Ye had a smug smile on his face, as long as he caught Nangong Yi, he would solve his big trouble, so he was in a very happy mood now.
In his eyes, only Nangong Yi was his opponent, and he didn't pay attention to the others at all.
"Really? That's great, I don't know what the prince plans to do with Nangong Yi? If it was Ling Yufei who heard the news before, she would indeed have such a reaction, but now all this is just pretending to be her, and now she is more concerned about what Nangong Ye will do next.
"This king has decided to behead Nangong Yi at noon tomorrow to show the public." The corners of Nangong Ye's mouth showed an extremely sinister smile, and he said very coldly word by word, although now that he had won the throne and arrested Nangong Yi, he was still not at ease.
Because in his heart, only a dead person can completely reassure him, so he will not give Nangong Yi any more chance to live, and wants to make him disappear as quickly as possible, and then he can succeed to the throne with confidence.
"So fast?" After listening to Nangong Ye's words, Ling Yufei's heart was suddenly startled, she forgot her disguise for a while, and asked in disbelief.
"Don't you hate him very much? Don't you want to see him die? Nangong Ye's expression froze, and she looked at Ling Yufei with some suspicion, feeling that there was something wrong with her reaction.
"Of course Fei'er wants to see him die, but she didn't expect to be able to take revenge so soon, and all this is thanks to the prince." Ling Yufei reacted immediately, and quickly concealed the worry in her heart.
She never thought that Nangong Ye would decide to behead Nangong Yi to show the public, and it was so fast, it seemed that he was even more vicious than they imagined, and he could be so vicious to his brother, so that the situation was even more critical, and it was even more difficult for them to rescue Nangong Yi.
"Nangong Yi, in the end, you still fell into the hands of this king, and tomorrow will be your death." Nangong Ye quickly believed what Ling Yufei said, and regained her pride in catching Nangong Yi.
"Lord, now that you have obtained the throne, why don't you ascend the throne?" If Nangong Ye ascended the throne, he would truly become the emperor of Nanling Kingdom, and it would be even more difficult for them to deal with him again, so Ling Yufei wanted to know when he would ascend the throne.
"The moment Nangong Yiren's head hits the ground is when this king officially ascends the throne." Nangong Ye has never dared to underestimate Nangong Yi, even if he has caught him now, he still doesn't dare to take it lightly, so he decided to wait until the moment he dies to ascend the throne and become emperor, and then he will have no worries.
"So it's noon tomorrow?" Ling Yufei's heart was already getting more and more chaotic, because everything was too fast, so fast that they were completely caught off guard.
"Yes, this king can officially be called the emperor at noon tomorrow, and then everything in the Southern Spirit Kingdom will belong to this king, and no one will rob this king again." Thinking of that exciting moment, the corners of Nangong Ye's mouth couldn't help but rise, didn't he do so many things before just to wait for this day?
"Fei'er congratulates the prince first, the prince can finally make his dream come true." Ling Yufei tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and said to Nangong Ye with a pretending to be very happy.
"If it's okay, you can go back to the Night King's Mansion first." Ling Yufei's congratulations made Nangong Ye a little happy, so his attitude towards her was a little better.
"Then Fei'er will go back first." Ling Yufei had wanted to leave here for a long time, because she wanted to inform Ling Yuwei of their Nangong Ye's decision as soon as possible.
There wasn't much time left until tomorrow afternoon, and it was too difficult to find a way to rescue Nangong Yi in such a short time, she could only hope that Ling Yuwei could think of something good, otherwise everything would be irreparable.
