The First Genocide Hatred

  Fengqi Palace

  "Niang niang, this is the medicine that the holy girl drank!" Xiao Fan presented the small bottle in front of Ye Ziqing.

  Perhaps it was because she had been drinking medicine since childhood, so Yezi had an unconscious aversion to the black medicine, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she signaled Xiao Fan to hand the bottle over to Ye Baocheng: "Uncle, take a look at this, is this the Absolute Child Tonic?"

  She wanted to know whether the Western Xia Holy Maiden was just pretending or not.

  Ye Baocheng opened the small bottle and put it under his nose to smell, furrowing his brow, saying: "This is indeed the Infertility Broth!" He was too familiar with this smell after all these years.

  "Xiao Fan, did you see her drink it with your own eyes?" asked Yezi, full of suspicion.

  Xiao Fan nodded affirmatively: "They thought I left, but actually I walked to the door and quietly turned back. I saw with my own eyes that the Holy Girl drank this...". Then, he recounted everything he had seen and heard outside.

  Ye Zi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her eyebrows deeply furrowed: "Looking at it this way, this Holy Maiden is still somewhat grateful to me for the time being."

  "Report to Her Majesty the Empress, General Ye has arrived!" Just then, a report came from the entrance.

  Ye Zi gave Xiao Fan a signal: "Xiao Fan, put things away and go outside to keep watch!"

  "Yes! Princess!" After putting away the small bottle, Xiao Fan retreated, but almost bumped into Ye Tianming's body: "General Ye please forgive me!" The face red and flustered appearance, a discerning person can see what's going on at a glance.

  "It's all right, let's go!" Ye Tianming reached out and supported her, but his face didn't show much expression.

  "Yes!" Xiaofan's face flushed, and the warmth on her arm, transmitted through her clothes, made her heart beat like a drum. Even after she retreated to the door, she still felt like her heartbeat was going to jump out.

  She had been with Yezi for so many years, although not the master but had almost as much power as the master. She was proud and had learned to be infatuated, having a one-sided love for Ye Tianming all along. Little did she know that Ye Tianming seemed to only have eyes for Mei Yu, and was dismissive of other women, let alone her being just a slave.

  Subconsciously, she leaned her ear closer to the door, wanting to know what they were saying. She wouldn't betray her master, but she wanted to fight for a glimmer of hope for herself.

  She is a clever and cunning maid, who clearly knows that Ye Tianming cannot possibly like her, nor does she hope to become his legitimate wife. She only wishes that one day she can become his concubine, and she will be content with that. Therefore, she works hard towards this goal.

  "Brother, I've already mentioned it to the Emperor many times, why don't you try harder? Mei Yu is too willful, this is a matter of national importance, who else can compare with you? She's not even willing, humph!"

  Ye Tianming pursed his lips, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed: "This matter can't be rushed, the princess has no intention of me, and I have no way."

  On the side, Ye Baocheng said: "Not everything in this world can be done as one pleases. As far as I know, Princess Mei Yu has her heart set on the second prince of Western Xia from the Imperial Palace. Once she's moved by emotions, even nine-headed cows can't pull her back!"

  Ye Zi's expression turned cold as she snorted, "That dead girl is really cheap, abandoning the esteemed country uncle and instead liking a lowly prince consort. If it weren't for this Shang Guo only having her as its princess, I'd truly want to help her out. I'll wait and see what kind of ending she'll have with that lowly prince consort."

  "Qing'er, I'll handle this myself. Don't harm the princess!" Ye Tianming knew his sister's methods all too well, and although Mei Yu Gongzhu didn't like him, he didn't want her to get hurt either.

  "Brother, I don't know what's wrong with you. When killing someone, you don't even blink an eye, but when chasing a woman, you hesitate for so long. To win a woman's heart, you must first win her body!" It's really chilling to hear such words from a woman.

  Ye Tianming's face suddenly changed: "I won't hurt her..." Liking someone has no reason, just like that, only wanting to give her all the good things. Although he is ruthless and cruel, but he will not hurt his beloved woman.

  "Brother, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but sometimes your thinking should be more flexible."

  Ye Baocheng on the side also very much agreed with Ye Ziqing's words: "Daybreak, Qinger is right, to achieve great things, don't be bogged down by trivial matters, as long as the result is what you want, the process doesn't matter!"

  He is like this, as long as he gets what he wants, no matter how complicated the process is, he doesn't care.

  Ye Tianming pursed his thin lips and clenched the hands hanging at his sides, then stood up with a calm face after a long while: "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first!"

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, but Yezhong's cries were unheard.

  Just as he stepped out of the door, Xiao Fan had already brought tea to his front: "General, I've brewed your favorite tea for you. Are you leaving?"

  "Never mind!" Ye Tianming's face darkened, he flung his sleeve and strode away.

  "General..." Xiaofan wanted to speak but stopped, gazing at the tall and imposing figure walking away with a cold indifference. She lightly bit her lip, his eyes never acknowledging her existence.

  Ye Tianming was about to leave the palace with a lot on his mind, but unexpectedly ran into Mei Yu Princess who was strolling with Mei'er. His heart skipped a beat as he hastily went up to her: "Princess!"

  Princess Mei Yu looked at him and saw that it was Ye Tianming, a hint of annoyance flashing between her eyebrows: "General Ye, is that you? Have you come to the palace again to see your imperial sister-in-law?"

  Actually, Ye Tianming is also a talented and handsome man with great martial arts skills, and he's also a member of the royal family, but she inexplicably dislikes this man.

  "Yes!" Ye Tianming appeared somewhat unnatural in front of Mei Yu Gongzhu.

  Mei'er watched with a cold eye, secretly laughing in her heart: So Ye Tianming likes Mei Yu Gongzhu, and Mei Yu Gongzhu likes Xia Jinxuan, this play is not bad!

  However, every time she saw Ye Tianming, the bloody scene of Wu Chen's parents being beheaded by him would flash before her eyes. Her hand in her sleeve tightened slightly. This man was so ruthless and cruel, one day she would use an even more vicious method to deal with him!

  "Mei'er sister, let's go take a look over there!" Princess Mei Yu didn't want to bother with Ye Tianming anymore, and she pulled Mei'er's hand as they walked away.

  "Princess..." Ye Tianming subconsciously called out to Mei Yu Princess.

  Princess Mei Yu turned around, her face full of impatience: "General Ye, is there anything else?"

  Ye Tianming fumbled and took out a small, exquisite red box from his body, holding it above his head: "This is a rare rouge from outside the pass, I saw it on the street the other day, so I bought a box, please accept it, Princess!"

  A big man actually bought rouge to please a woman, how trite. However, Ye Tianming has a good heart after all.

  Mei Yu Feng's phoenix eyes lightly glanced at the rouge holder, and she pouted: "General Ye has a good heart, Xiao Xing, take it!" She nodded to the palace maid beside her to collect it, while she herself walked away with Mei Er again.

  Not having walked many steps, only to hear Princess Mei Yu say: "Xiao Xing, that box of rouge, I'll give it to you as a reward. If you don't want it, just throw it away like trash! What's the point? The rouge I use is all top-grade tribute goods, and yet you bring me some inferior stuff bought randomly from the streets to give to me. How ridiculous!"

  Ye Tianming saw Mei Yu Gongzhu put it away, his heart was stirred for a moment, but that excitement didn't last long. After Mei Yu Gongzhu walked past, the words she said were heard clearly by his ears.

  At that moment, all the humiliation and loss surged up in his heart. Every word Princess Mei Yu said was like a dull knife, cutting into his skin, scraping against his bones, and hurting so much he couldn't breathe.

  He loved her so much for so many years, never changing, but she repeatedly trampled his deep affection like grass, and at this moment, he was furious!
