NCCnovel Chapter 280 Beauty Trap
Chapter 280 Beauty Trap
"Keep thinking of ways, we must get rid of him as soon as possible!"
He Jinyan waved his hands irritably. As long as Chu Lingfeng was still alive, he would be trapped on this remote island. The longer it took, the more likely something would happen at home. His half-brothers were not easy to deal with.
The staff member lowered his head, thinking hard. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. He hurriedly said, "Young Master, I remember that concubine of yours was exiled with Chu Lingfeng. Perhaps we can find a solution from her."
"Are you talking about Sun Ying?" He Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that his new concubine was chosen from among the fugitives.
The staff member quickly continued, "I've already checked. Miss Sun not only traveled the same route as Chu Lingfeng, but also had quite a few interactions with him along the way..."
As He Jinyan listened, his expression became increasingly grim.
Sun Ying had never mentioned these things to him, and he had been kept in the dark for so long.
Seeing that He Jinyan's face was terribly dark, the staff member tactfully shut up.
As for Sun Ying, she had just tidied herself up and was thinking of going to the kitchen to make some soup herself to please He Jinyan. After all, in this strange place, He Jinyan was her only support.
As soon as she opened the door, she almost bumped into He Jinyan who came in hurriedly.
"Young...Young Master." Sun Ying was startled. She didn't expect He Jinyan to come back so soon.
Without saying a word, He Jinyan grabbed Sun Ying's arm and dragged her into the house forcefully, without any mercy at all.
Finally, Sun Ying was pushed hard by He Jinyan and fell heavily on the chair.
"Young Master..." Sun Ying looked at He Jinyan in horror.
"Shut up! I'm asking you, do you know Chu Lingfeng? Have you ever had any contact with him?" He Jinyan stared at her viciously.
Sun Ying's heart skipped a beat. How did he know about this? Did he send someone to investigate her?
She was terrified, but she nodded solemnly and whispered, "We're just going the same way."
Sun Ying didn't want others to know what happened between her and Chu Lingfeng, so she answered vaguely.
When He Jinyan saw her like this, he felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart.
But he remembered what his staff had said, and he suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said, "I have something to ask you to do for me..."
On this day, as usual, the sun was setting and the workers were finishing their work one after another.
Chu Lingfeng dragged his slightly tired body away. He wanted to go back quickly and prepare dinner. Halfway there, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. Chu Lingfeng stopped and turned to look.
The afterglow of the setting sun is like a layer of golden gauze, gently falling on the island, coating the whole world with a layer of warm colors.
Sun Ying carefully selected a white gauze dress, and stood gracefully in the golden afterglow. The breeze blew gently, and the white gauze fluttered slightly. She looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, breathtakingly beautiful.
Her eyes were fixed on Chu Lingfeng who was walking not far away, but deep in her eyes was suppressed an unspeakable sorrow.
Chu Lingfeng's figure stretched out in the afterglow. He walked steadily and had a calm expression. He paid no attention to the fiery gaze staring at him in front of him.
As he gradually approached, Sun Ying finally mustered up the courage and softly called out, "Master Chu..."
When Chu Lingfeng heard the voice, he paused, slowly raised his head, and his eyes fell on Sun Ying. He just glanced at Sun Ying quietly, without showing any surprise on his face, as if the woman in front of him had nothing to do with him.
When Sun Ying saw Chu Lingfeng's indifferent reaction, a bitter feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.
She once thought that even if there had been conflicts between them, Chu Lingfeng would at least have some emotional fluctuations when they met again, but the reality was so cruel.
She didn't want to have anything to do with Chu Lingfeng anymore, but fate played a trick on her and now she had no choice.
Thinking of this, Sun Ying took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, forced a smile, and said, "Master Chu, have you been well these days?"
Chu Lingfeng frowned slightly and did not answer Sun Ying's question. After a moment of silence, he walked around her without saying a word and continued walking forward.
His back looked so resolute, as if he was deliberately drawing a line between himself and Sun Ying.
This embarrassing scene happened to be seen by Murong Ling'er and Murong Chen who were following not far behind Chu Lingfeng.
Murong Ling'er just looked at him quietly without making any comments. She just gently took Murong Chen's hand and walked past.
Murong Chen looked at Sun Ying curiously, then at Chu Lingfeng, as if he wanted to ask something, but when he saw that his mother didn't say anything, he shut up obediently.
Sun Ying stood there blankly, looking at the three people's backs as they left, feeling mixed emotions.
After a long time, she slowly turned around and left with heavy steps.
When the three of them walked outside the courtyard, Chu Lingfeng stopped and turned to Murong Ling'er, saying, "If she comes looking for you in the future, you must be careful. She is now with the young master of the He family, and she must have a purpose for coming this time."
Murong Linger smiled lightly, a hint of teasing in her smile, and said, "You should be the one who should be careful. She is targeting you."
Murong Ling'er had guessed Sun Ying's intention the moment she appeared.
The He family has failed in their open and covert fights to deal with Chu Lingfeng, and now they are probably planning to use the beauty trap again.
But Murong Ling'er knew in her heart that because of the previous stabbing of Huo Jianjie, an unbridgeable rift had already occurred between Chu Lingfeng and Sun Ying, and this beauty trap would probably be difficult to succeed.
After saying that, Murong Ling'er walked into her yard without waiting for Chu Lingfeng to respond.
Chu Lingfeng looked at Murong Ling'er's back, and thought of her smile with a hint of teasing just now, and couldn't help but laugh softly. He shook his head, turned and walked into his own yard.
……
At this time, in the distant Kyoto, the imperial palace was ablaze with lights, and a grand and luxurious banquet was being held.
Princess Song Yufei of Min'an State wore a gorgeous pink dress and sat dignifiedly below the Queen of Zhao State.
Her eyes were cold, arrogant, and confident as she looked around the audience gracefully. Her every move exuded the majesty and temperament of a royal princess.
Occasionally, when her eyes met with the eldest prince opposite her, a barely perceptible gleam would flash in her eyes, as if conveying some special signal between the two of them.
Concubine Rong, who was sitting at the top, saw all of this. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her face.
She turned to look at the queen beside her and said in a soft but meaningful voice, "Sister, is the prince in good health?"
The Empress' originally dignified and decent smile froze in an instant. She glanced at Concubine Rong, who had a slightly frowned brow, and shook her head gently. A hint of imperceptible worry flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say much.
This seemingly simple question and answer seemed to conceal many unknown palace secrets and power struggles, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet became somewhat subtle...
