The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

Chapter 142 Rong Fei

Yun Mo looked at Ye Yingshang coldly and disappeared in the air in an instant.

Ye Yingshang looked at the direction where Yun Mohan disappeared, with a slight smile on his lips, and muttered softly: "Yun Mohan, ah Yun Mohan, I want to see how you protect her."

There was a glint of cunning and viciousness in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had already secured victory.

The wind blew gently, lifting the corner of his clothes. He turned and disappeared into the darkness. His figure gradually disappeared, leaving only the provocative words slowly dissipating in the air.

Soon Yun Mohan returned to the Regent's Palace. He went to the study and called Tianshu.

"Tianshu, come here quickly." Yun Mohan's voice was filled with urgency.

Suddenly, a dark figure flashed into the study and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Yun Mohan's face was gloomy. "You must find out what Ye Yingshang's purpose is in coming to the human world. There seems to be a deep meaning in his words. I'm worried that he will harm the palace. Go and investigate secretly to see what his conspiracy is."

Tianshu responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Yun Mohan nodded slightly, "Be careful and don't let him notice."

Tianshu bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand." After that, he disappeared in the study in a flash.

Yun Mohan frowned, thinking secretly about how to deal with the situation.

After Li'er died in her previous life, Ye Yingshang stole her body, making it impossible for Li'er to be resurrected.

Whenever Yun Mohan thought of this, he was filled with endless regret and anger. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "Ye Yingshang, I will never let you succeed in this lifetime!"

At this moment, the study was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and Yun Mohan's eyes were burning with the flames of revenge.

He secretly vowed that no matter what the cost, he would protect Li'er and prevent Ye Yingshang's conspiracy from succeeding.

On the other side, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Yingshang was painting in the secret room of his study, but the girl in the painting looked somewhat similar to Xing Xuanli.

Ye Yingshang focused on each stroke. The room was so quiet that only the sound of his breathing and the subtle rustle of his brushstrokes could be heard. The woman in the painting was so lifelike that she seemed ready to step out of the painting at any moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yingshang finally finished the painting. He gently put down the brush in his hand, leaned back, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

Xing Xuanli, the woman who is somewhat similar to the Demon Lord Jun Yu.

Ye Yingshang looked at the painting he had just finished, frowning and muttering to himself: "Why does she look similar to Jun Yu? What is the connection between them?"

His thoughts drifted, recalling the first time he met Xing Xuanli. The charm that she inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows was exactly the same as that of the legendary Demon Lord Jun Yu. This filled Ye Yingshang with confusion and curiosity.

"Is she hiding some unknown secret?" Ye Yingshang's gaze fell on the painting again, his eyes becoming deeper, as if he wanted to see through Xing Xuanli's true identity through the painting.

Ye Yingshang walked out of the secret room, and just then his subordinate came to find him, "Your Majesty, the human emperor asked you to come to the palace."

Ye Yingshang frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Why would the emperor want to see me at this time?" But without much hesitation, he ordered, "Get ready and enter the palace immediately."

Soon, Ye Yingshang arrived at the palace. The eunuch beside Emperor Nanyuan hurried forward to greet him, "Prime Minister Ye, His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ye Yingshang nodded slightly, "Thank you for leading the way, eunuch."

Following the eunuch through the palace, they arrived in front of the imperial study. After the eunuch announced, Ye Yingshang stepped into the room and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Emperor Nanyuan put down the memorial in his hand and raised his hand, "My dear Lord Ye, please excuse me and take a seat."

Ye Yingshang thanked him and sat down. "I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me this time?"

Emperor Nanyuan's face darkened. "Lord Ye, Nangong Han has become increasingly arrogant and domineering. I wish to eliminate him. Do you have any good plans?"

Ye Yingshang was delighted, but remained expressionless. "Your Majesty, this matter requires further consideration. Nangong Han has enormous influence in the court, so we must not act rashly."

Emperor Nanyuan frowned, "Are we just going to let him go on like this?"

Ye Yingshang pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I do have a plan, but it will take some time to implement."

Emperor Nanyuan's eyes were anxious, "My dear minister, please speak quickly."

However, their conversation was roughly heard by An Liu who was hiding in the dark, but Ye Yingshang was the demon king of the demon world after all, so even if An Liu concealed his breath, he could still sense it.

Ye Yingshang had a playful smile on his face. He used his mind to send a message to his subordinates: "Go and tell me about that rat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow instantly rushed towards An Liu.

An Liu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly dodged to the side. The shadow missed his attack and instantly turned around to attack again, its movements like a ghost, extremely fast and fierce.

An Liu gritted his teeth, drew his short blade from his waist, and engaged the shadowy figure. For a moment, the two men fought fiercely, their swords flashing and shadows intertwined.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Yingshang took the opportunity to say goodbye to Emperor Nanyuan: "Your Majesty, I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

Emperor Nanyuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, don't delay the important matter."

Ye Yingshang bowed respectfully and turned to leave the imperial study. He moved like the wind, rushing towards the direction where An Liu and the black shadow were fighting.

As Ye Yingshang passed by the imperial garden, a woman in orange clothes asked the maid beside her, "Who is that?"

The maid quickly leaned forward and replied, "Your Highness, that is Prime Minister Ye Yingshang."

The woman's beautiful eyes turned slightly, staring at Ye Yingshang's departing back, as if thinking about something.

Ye Yingshang seemed to have sensed something and looked back. He saw that the woman was tall and slender with a pretty face, but he didn't care and continued to hurried on his way.

The woman in orange asked the maid next to her again, "Has the Regent entered the palace recently?"

The maid shook her head slightly, "Your Majesty, the Regent rarely comes to the palace."

The woman in orange frowned slightly. "Why is that? Is he being disrespectful to His Majesty?"

The maid hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not the case. I heard that the Regent is busy dealing with important matters at court, and he has a cold and aloof personality and dislikes red tape."

The woman nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. So what has he been busy with recently?"

The maid looked embarrassed, "This...I don't know either."

The woman sighed softly, "Forget it, you can leave now."

The maid bowed and left, leaving the woman standing alone in the garden, gazing into the distance.

The orange-dressed woman was heartbroken and murmured to herself: "If Nangong Han doesn't enter the palace, how can she get close to Nangong Han? She can't enter the Regent's Palace."

She frowned, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and her heart was full of helplessness and loss.

"Are we just going to wait like this forever?" The woman in orange shook her head gently. "No, I must find a way."

She racked her brains, trying to come up with a plan to enter the Regent's Palace, but her thoughts were like a tangled mess and she couldn't make sense of it.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew and blew off the pearl flowers on her head, but she was unaware of it and was still immersed in her own sorrow.

At this moment, the maidservant beside the queen came to the woman in orange and said, "Empress Rong, the queen invites you."

Concubine Rong was slightly startled, then she put away the worry on her face and said, "I will go with you now."

She secretly wondered why the Queen had called her in at this moment. Could it be that she knew of her feelings for the Prince Regent? Filled with doubts, Concubine Rong followed the maid to the Queen's chambers.
