The Cry of the Phoenix Which Reached the Ninth Heaven-Volume 2 Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Transcendental Prince, Enjoy Eating Your Own Bitter Fruit

"Yao Mowan, this time this consort will make sure you die! Ming Yu!" Yao Suluan's lips hooked in a smile as she looked down at Yao Mowan, who had fallen unconscious.

"Your Highness." When Ming Yu heard the command, she timidly walked over from the shadows.

"Do as this consort had instructed you yesterday. After an hour, bring His Majesty to the small room behind Changle Palace!" instructed Yao Suluan.

"Understood," replied Ming Yu nervously, then she withdrew. Yao Suluan checked to make sure that no one was around, then helped Yao Mowan up and started walking towards Changle Palace.

Ye Junqing had been pretty sure that Ye Liyu wouldn't drop the matter just like this, so he wasn't surprised when Ye Liyu appeared in front of him wielding a sword. He looked indifferently towards this man who had once worshipped him like he was a god and chuckled wryly. Seven years had been long enough for a simple boy to turn into an arrogant and conceited idiot. Apologies. After staying with Yao Mowan for too long, these coarse terms became increasingly pleasing to the ear. As expected, those who got too close to vermilion end up stained, Ye Junqing silently remarked.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Liyu hated the fact that Ye Junqing currently seemed so content and at leisure. After losing his military power, he should've become like a pitiful beggar. He wasn't supposed to be this aloof anymore!

"Laughing at the laughable people in this world," replied Ye Junqing mildly.

"As expected, it was you! Ye Junqing! Back then, you relied on the fact that you possessed control over the military to publicly covet the empress, Yao Moxin! And now you're fooling around with her younger sister! Imperial Older Brother is benevolent, but this prince can't tolerate it anymore!" As Ye Liyu spoke, he lifted his sword and pointed it towards Ye Junqing.

"So what if you can't tolerate it anymore?" Ye Junqing pillowed his head with his arms and just glanced over causally. Even though Ye Liyu's words were extremely unpleasant, Ye Junqing had no plans to argue with him. This strategy was also something he had learned from Yao Mowan. Regardless of whether that person was reasonable or not, talking reason with someone was very tiring!

"You!" Ye Liyu glared at Ye Junqing furiously, but he didn't dare to attack. He hadn't forgotten what happened back in Guan Osprey Palace. If he fought alone against Ye Junqing, he definitely wouldn't do well.

"If Transcendental Prince doesn't have any other matters, then Junqing will be leaving." Ye Junqing looked towards Ye Liyu with a bit of disappointment. When enemies meet on a narrow path, the more courageous one won. Ye Liyu must have been ruined by his stay in Secluded Province. He didn't even have the courage to attack anymore.

As Ye Junqing was passing by, Ye Liyu abruptly turned towards him.

"Don't you want to know how Yao Moxin died?" This was something Yao Suluan had told him to say. He hadn't been planning on using it, but reality proved that he had no other way to subdue Ye Junqing.

Ye Junqing's heart felt like it was being submerged in seawater. The stifling sensation made it hard for him to breathe. He stopped walking and turned around grimly, his eyes extremely cold.

"I can tolerate your rude presumptuousness, and I can also accept the fact that you forget favors and violate justice, but if you dare to trick me with Moxin, the consequence isn't something that you can endure!" Ye Junqing's every word resounded. Ye Liyu felt a strong oppressive force sweep towards him.

"If you want to know the cause of Yao Moxin's death, follow me!" Ye Liyu didn't have the courage to continue confronting him and turned to walk towards Changle Palace. Ye Junqing followed without any suspicions. He could never think through things calmly when it came to matters regarding Yao Moxin.

When they reached the small room behind Changle Palace, Ye Junqing finally walked up and blocked Ye Liyu's way.

"You know how Moxin died?" Ye Junqing couldn't wait any longer for an answer.

"The truth is in there! As long as you have the guts to go in!" Ye Liyu's lips hooked, making the sinister scar on his face even more grosteque of a sight. When Ye Liyu pointed towards the room, Ye Junqing rushed in without even considering things.

The moment he opened the doors, he found that Yao Mowan was unconcious on the straw pile.

"Mowan? What is this…" Just as Ye Junqing turned around to demand answers, he smelled an intense comestic fragrance, then his vision blurred and he passed out.

"I really want to just kill him now!" Once Yao Suluan used the drug on Ye Junqing, Ye Liyu walked in with his sword.

"Prince, please be patient. Once His Majesty sees this scene, he definitely won't let them off. At that time, Prince will be able to do whatever you want to Ye Junqing," said Yao Suluan placatingly, her eyes glowing with excited light.

"When will Imperial Older Brother be coming?" Ye Liyu took a deep breath, then asked this.

"Within an hour. This knockout powder is only effective for a hour. Prince should come with Suluan for now. In a while, there'll be a good show to watch!" Yao Suluan's voice filled with unsurpressable excitement. She couldn't help but be stirred up when she imagined Ye Hongyi's expression upon seeing this and Yao Mowan's tragic end.

"Alright!" Ye Liyu endured his impulse to kill Ye Junqing. Just as he was about to leave with Yao Suluan, a clear pleasing voice came from behind them.

"Are you going to leave just like this? If you're going to set up a show, you should do it all the way. The current scene doesn't prove anything. Second Older Sister really hasn't thought things through enough." Yao Mowan languidly sat up from the straw pile and brushed off some of the straw sticking to her clothes as she gave this critque.

"You… How did you wake up?" Yao Suluan looked at Yao Mowan in shock.

"Stop wasting time talking to her!" When Ye Liyu saw Yao Mowan sit up, he became worried that their scheme would become exposed and immediately tried to kill Yao Mowan. However, just as his blade was about to pierce Yao Mowan's throat, it stopped.

"Prince!" shouted Yao Suluan in alarm. Then a sharp pain came from the back of her neck and she fainted.

"Suluan! Yao Mowan, what are you trying to do!?" Ye Liyu's eyes were bloodshot as he roared at Yao Mowan.

"Hand me the medicinal pill." Yao Mowan glanced over Ye Liyu coldly, then took the soft fragrance pill from Yin Xue and walked to Ye Liyu.

"Who is it? Who are you talking to? Who sealed this prince's movements? Unseal me!" Ye Liyu really wanted to just slaughter the person that had attacked him from the shadows, but that person's method of sealing pressure points was too strange so he had no way of forcefully breaking through the seal.

"Time is short, so Mowan will make this brief. This pill is called soft fragrance pill. It's the most intense sort of aphrosadic. After it's taken, it'll take effect within a few moments." As Yao Mowan spoke, she shoved the pill into his mouth.

"This soft fragrance pill dissolves instantly in the mouth. At that time, there's no need for Prince to force yourself to endure. There's a beauty right in front of you, don't waste Mowan's good intentions. Liu Sha, carry the esteemed prince back to Guan Osprey Palace!" Yao Mowan laughed coldly even as her eyes were raging with anger. Once Liu Sha helped Ye Junqing out of the room, Yao Mowan walked slowly to Yao Suluan who had been knocked unconscious by Yin Xue and slowly started to undo her belt.

"Yao Mowan! You're shameless and despicable!" Ye Liyu finally understood what Yao Mowan was trying to do and immediately started cursing at her.

"If it weren't for Prince's example, Mowan really wouldn't have thought of such a shameless method. However, to Prince this is probably a good thing. Haven't you been coveting my second older sister for a long time? Now you can finally taste her fragrance. You should be thanking Mowan." As Yao Mowan spoke, she pulled off Yao Suluan's outer garment.

"Yao Mowan! Take her away from here! Hurry!" When Ye Liyu saw Yao Suluan's flawless fair skin, he felt a certain part of his body stir restlessly.

"Does Prince think that's possible?" Yao Mowan scoffed.

"No matter what, she's your older sister! How can you bear to do this?" Ye Liyu gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead were bulging, so it was clear that he was struggling a lot to hold himself back.
