The Slender Waist

The day the city fell, Feng Yun was treated by her father as a spoil of war and presented to the enemy general. Everyone pitied her, soon to be a captive, plunging into a fiery pit. Yet she veiled the little donkey cart that took her out of the city tightly, daring not to let anyone see the secret delight in her heart… As a child, she behaved oddly and spoke startling words, once predicting a war in which the whole army was wiped out, nearly being burned to death by her clan as a demon. When she grew up, her beauty was out of the world, but she was rejected by her husband's family. In the period of chaos and disorder everywhewe, where could a female captive go? "I do not seek a devoted partner to grow old with; I merely wish to rule unrivaled in this life." In her previous life, Feng Yun was always the one being scorned by others; in this life, she decided to strike first, turning the tables on each and every one of them, those so-called unreachable flowers and beasts in gentleman's clothing, those degenerates… all to be scorned in return.

Chapter 149: Adhering to One's Duty

Feng Ying applied a bit more pressure to her wrist and slowly massaged the man's shoulder. This was a technique she had learned from an old palace attendant, said to relieve fatigue and bring pleasure; she wanted to please Xiao Cheng.

"This concubine is worried about Her Highness the Princess, I couldn't help but come to ask..."

It was the perfect and most thoughtful response, for she knew well what Xiao Cheng liked to hear.

Xiao Cheng signaled her to stop the massage.

"No news is the best news."

Of course, Feng Ying understood that Xiao Rong had left on her own, the Jin Army hadn't captured anyone, so naturally, they couldn't come to blackmail, but she still had to appear greatly concerned, whispering softly:

"My sister and the Princess have been at odds since childhood, I fear my sister never considered exchanging her for anything. Could it be... she never intended to return the Princess?"

Xiao Cheng glanced at her, calm and collected.
