In her heart, she knew his heart belonged to someone else, and he didn’t care for her at all. What else could she do but resort to some tricks?
Wait? Until the end of time?
That’s why when the man in black proposed a collaboration, she agreed without hesitation!
Wasn’t she successful?
Maybe she’s already carrying a child...
As long as she’s sure of the child, she’d immediately return to the Great Zhou Kingdom to ask the Empress to uphold justice!
But now, she still longed for some affection from Zhou Yunshen.
She knew he liked Yun Jinnian, she could help him, but one thing was certain, she had to be the Crown Princess Consort, the future Empress!
Seeing Teng Fei completely ignoring her, she turned and left.
Teng Fei watched Dou Jingjing’s back and couldn’t help but sneer.
Talk of love, it was nothing but a love for power and wealth; how could it compare with Yun Jinnian?
Thinking of Yun Jinnian made Teng Fei feel quite uncomfortable.
When he found Teng Mu, he was holding wine.
"What’s wrong with you?" Teng Mu asked.
They had grown up together from childhood and shared life-and-death experiences. They weren’t blood brothers, but their feelings were very deep.
Teng Mu was a few months older than Teng Fei, so he naturally regarded Teng Fei as his younger brother.
"You look like nothing’s wrong?" Teng Mu said, taking a sip from the wine jar in Teng Fei’s hand before asking with concern, "Did the master punish you?"
Teng Fei shook his head.
"Then why the long face?" Teng Mu continued to ask.
He was a man of few words and didn’t want to compete with Teng Fei, so he silently took a back seat.
In terms of martial arts, he wasn’t inferior to Teng Fei, perhaps even superior!
Teng Fei glanced at Teng Mu.
He took back the wine jar and continued drinking, but he was drinking too hastily and choked.
Teng Mu’s eyes twinkled as he patted Teng Fei’s back, "If you encounter something difficult and don’t want to do it, then don’t do it, I’ll do it for you!"
"Teng Mu..." Teng Fei exclaimed in surprise.
He looked at Teng Mu with astonishment.
How could he let Teng Mu go?
If Teng Mu went, Yun Jinnian would really be taken back to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Teng Mu immediately understood.
Teng Fei had always been cold, his eyes only on his master, but after meeting Yun Jinnian...
Everyone has a love for beauty, it wasn’t hard to understand him secretly falling for her.
To be so tangled and lose his composure, it must be that the master asked him to do something unworthy to Yun Jinnian!
And he was unwilling to do it!
He reached out and patted Teng Fei on the shoulder, "Don’t forget our identity, and don’t forget our duty and oath. When the monarch orders a minister to die, the minister must die. Teng Fei, some things, if you don’t do them and let others do, the harm will be even greater!"
He said no more, believing Teng Fei would understand.
Teng Fei knew that if he let Teng Mu go...
But he really couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Especially towards someone as gentle as water, who spoke softly and kindly, almost like a Bodhisattva, like Yun Jinnian.
"Think about it yourself!"
Teng Mu didn’t persuade him further and drank with Teng Fei.
Silently accompanying him.
But when there was a disturbance in the air, followed by the sound of fighting coming from Zhou Yunshen’s courtyard, both of them were shocked, "Not good!" and rushed towards Zhou Yunshen’s courtyard.
Zhou Yunshen, dressed in white inner robes, had been stabbed several times by the men in black, blood flowing, the contrast between white and red strikingly alarming.
His martial arts skills were not low, but facing the man in black, it was difficult for him even one-on-one, especially since the man in black had brought several accomplices, making it impossible for all the Hidden Guards to get close and render any help.
Yet the man in black seemed to be toying with him, only injuring him but not taking his life...
Who was this assassin? A person suddenly came to his mind!
