144 There’s Still a Contract

Although Kong Rui knew that Nie Yin definitely didn’t have any feelings for Wen Qiong, she didn’t expect them to actually want to kill Wen Qiong!

However, she didn’t pity Wen Qiong.

After all, Wen Qiong deserved to die!

Kong Rui restrained the killing intent that flashed across her eyes as she listened to the people inside continue to discuss.

“Kill the princess?” Nie Yin sneered. “That’s easy for you to say!”

“Do you know how many people the queen sent to secretly guard the princess’ palace?” Nie Yin’s tone was cold and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.

“The queen has already thought it through. If the princess really can’t be cured, even if she has to use a life-prolonging method, she will try to keep the princess alive!” Nie Yin sounded angry, and he didn’t have the calmness he usually had in front of outsiders.

“Logically speaking, the princess has natural phoenix essence on her body. Why did she get so seriously injured this time?” Another voice sounded.

“It’s said that the little phoenix was kidnapped!” Nie Yin sounded a little anxious. “The little phoenix probably isn’t around, so the phoenix essence didn’t work.”

“Didn’t the queen once say that the phoenix bone and phoenix essence are one in the same? Even if the little phoenix isn’t by the princess’ side, the bone and blood have the same effect!” That person was even more puzzled.

“I heard the queen mention that the little phoenix and the princess had a contract, so as long as they find the little phoenix and drink its bone blood, the princess will recover!” Nie Yin continued.

Kong Rui’s eyes widened.

No wonder the little phoenix had been feeling unwell these days and always looked dispirited.

So there was a contract?

The queen was really cautious. It was bad enough that she snatched her phoenix bone and phoenix essence, but she even trapped the little phoenix with a contract!

“I heard that if the little phoenix leaves the princess for too long, it will consume its essence energy day by day and eventually die of weakness one day!” Nie Yin sounded thoughtful, as if he was plotting something.

When Kong Rui heard this news, she could no longer remain calm.

Could it be that she had harmed the little phoenix by saving it from the palace?

What should she do now?

How could she break the bindings of the contract?

Kong Rui wanted to capture Nie Yin and question him, but she knew that it was definitely a bad idea for her to appear now.

She gritted her teeth and tried her best to suppress her impulsive emotions. After she took a deep breath, she held her breath as she continued to listen to the conversation between Nie Yin and the others.

“Then you plan to capture and kill the phoenix? This way, the princess would die without anyone knowing we did it!” The person sounded excited.

“Do you know who stole the phoenix? Do you know where the phoenix was taken?” Nie Yin questioned.

The person paused for a moment. “Rumor has it that it has something to do with Li Ling, who suddenly rose to prominence.”

“Then where is Li Ling now?” Nie Yin continued to ask.

That person was silent for a long time before saying, “Let’s start with assassinating the princess! This seems to be easier than finding the little phoenix and killing it!”

Nie Yin sighed heavily and said after a while, “No matter what, I’ll go to the palace again and see what other arrangements the queen has.”

“In addition, get someone to prepare to go to Spirit Mountain. This time.. I must find that place!” Nie Yin sounded determined.

Kong Rui subconsciously glanced at Chao Bai, but she couldn’t see anything through the veil.

Before she could react, Chao Bai pulled her into his arms.

Kong Rui was about to struggle when she heard Nie Yin’s door open. She immediately fell silent and didn’t dare to move again.

In the next moment, Nie Yin and a man in a dark gray hooded robe walked out of the room.
