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 253: The Emperor's Gamble_2

Xiao Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of her gaze.

"At this time of year, the flowers have all withered."

Li Sangruo chuckled, "This actually doesn't pose a problem for you and me. Winter flowers, summer snow—if one wishes it, can't an emperor command it so?"

Xiao Cheng's brow furrowed slightly.

Though at the pinnacle of power, his desires differed from those of Li Sangruo.

"Is Qi Jun aware that this conference hall is the work of Feng Twelve?"

Xiao Cheng's expression remained calm, "I've heard something of the sort."

Li Sangruo gave a gentle smile.

"What a pity. Qi Jun ought to have had a virtuous wife, but alas... how the world turns."

Xiao Cheng didn't turn around, "Empress Dowager wouldn't have sought me out just to speak of these sorrowful matters, would she?"

The Jixiang behind him lowered his head.
