Lin Fei is a bit surprised. It seems that Lamp-Bearing Envoy and Youyue have a pretty good relationship.
But we can't just relax. What if it's Mission Impossible? For example, what should we do if we gain trust so that we can tell the truth and then report it to Ye Ming?
Thinking like this, Lin Fei pretended to be flustered and anxious. "Am I implicated in Youyue Lamp-Bearing Envoy? I didn't think so much at the moment, I just wanted to go out and buy something. Seeing that no one was on duty to guard the door, I mistakenly thought I could go out... I didn't expect it would turn out like this!"
Cuiping nearly suffocated on the spot, and directly poked him between the eyebrows. "You unlucky thing, you are just as unreliable as that silly girl Lan Cao! Can't you be smarter? How dare you take such a precious thing out of the palace?"
"That's all, at least you are back, everything should be explained... but if you can't refine Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pill, you will probably be dead. Alas, you are still too young to understand the rules of this palace."
"Don't do things that are beyond your ability casually. You might not get the reward, and you might lose your life, you know?"
Lin Fei is speechless inside.
In fact, as long as Lan Cao didn't make such a fuss, the plan has been completed. How could it lead to the current desperate situation of making amends?
But she could only express her gratitude to Cuiping, who did not hesitate and took her directly to Youyue Residence and put all the treasures back to Youyue's boudoir.
"Let's go see Young Master Ye!" Cuiping gritted his teeth, grabbed Lin Fei's arm and left.
The closer she got to the Eternal Night Hall, the calmer and more natural her expression became, and even her mood swings gradually disappeared. It was just a matter of business, and she had to take Lin Fei to accept the punishment of Ye Ming.
Lin Fei can't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, feeling that these Lamp-Bearing Envoy may appear to be very beautiful to the outside world, but in fact they live a very tiring life. As long as they are careless, they will end up in ruins.
Some people are willing to give up their lives and sing to death for the sake of integrity and dignity.
But more people cannot do it to this extent, otherwise there would be no saying - it is better to live than to die.
What's more, in this Eternal Night Palace, even fear of death is a luxury, and all kinds of torture and punishment are appalling. There are even horrific examples of torture of criminals' souls for thousands of years.
And...Lamp-Bearing Envoy also has family.
Youyue is such a person. She can die, but she doesn't want to implicate the family she cares about. Under the princely system, it is normal for them to sit together, or even to implicate the nine clans, and they cannot be willful!
This is the cruel and cold Demon Realm system. Just as the Devil Race old man in that village lamented, in a world where great power belongs to oneself, how can it be as civilized and equal as the collective science and technology?
Lin Fei looked nervous and even followed Cuiping with his head lowered, vividly portraying the anxiety of Devil Race as a palace maid who did something wrong.
"It's a gamble."
"I bet Ye Ming will not put a little palace maid in his eyes. As long as he is slightly negligent, there is a possibility that I will kill him with one strike!" Lin Fei sneered in his heart, already thinking about what might happen next.
However, what surprised Lin Fei was that the two of them were stopped in front of the door.
Xiangling stretched out his hand, then looked at Lin Fei in surprise, then looked at Cuiping: "Caught it?"
Cuiping shook his head and corrected. "She came back on her own. This girl is bold enough to leave the palace privately, but she has no intention of absconding."
Xiangling looked surprised, then breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."
"Young Master Ye is already asleep and no one is allowed to enter. According to his wishes, if Lin Fei absconds and disappears, Youyue will be executed. If she has no intention of absconding, let her spit out the detailed recipe for refining Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pill, and then put her into the dungeon, where she will be imprisoned for the same crime as Ye Wudi!"
Cuiping quickly interrupted, "Wait a minute! Without rich experience in alchemy, what is the use of detailed elixir recipes? Nowadays, Eternal Night Palace is empty, and the alchemy masters have been transferred to the northern battlefield. Who can replace Lin Fei in alchemy?"
"If there really is such a number one alchemy master, Young Master Ye would still let a wild girl make alchemy?"
Xiangling explained, "Young Master Ye is not willing to take risks anymore. After all, Lin Fei has failed once, and if it fails again, the materials will be used up. He would rather delay it, or even wait until the war in the north is over!"
Cuiping felt a faint headache and glanced at Lin Fei with sympathy.
She knew why Ye Ming put her in the cell where Ye Wudi was. Firstly, she was subject to the same punishment, and secondly... what would happen if the executioner was reduced to a prisoner, and even shared a cell with a prisoner who had been brutally abused by her?
How could a prisoner who had been subjected to brutal executions hate his executioner to death? Even if he could eat him alive, it would not be surprising at all.
"He is still as vicious as ever!" Cuiping lamented in his heart, but his face was calm and he nodded.
Lin Fei was calmly thinking about the next plan in his heart, but his face showed panic.
Cuiping took him away and then asked for detailed prescriptions.
Lin Fei seemed extremely cooperative and had no intention of defeating the two Lamp-Bearing Envoy and then entering the palace.
There is no other reason. Such movement will inevitably wake up the sleeping Ye Ming, and Eternal Night Mirror will lose everything in one shot. The rational approach is still perfect stealth. Since Heavenly Demon Jade Token is now in Ye Ming's space ring, stealth and killing is the best option.
As for telling two Lamp-Bearing Envoys about the plan and expecting them to cooperate, that would be even more ridiculous.
A good man wanted to free his slaves, so he told a group of slaves in the hope that they would cooperate with him. As a result, the slaves were afraid that the incident would not be in vain and harm their families, so they reported the good man and begged for mercy from the slave master, hoping to gain praise and Enci - there are countless such things.
This is the sad thing about human nature.
When Lin Fei was brought to the entrance of the dungeon, she looked around and secretly said, "If possible, it is best to die by the hands of Ye Wudi. Your life sentence will never have hope. You will live in pain and torture. Death is actually a relief."
"Although Youyue has always taken good care of her servants, she doesn't dare to hold back Ye Ming's orders. She will definitely carry out the orders. You don't even think you can get away with it."
Lin Fei's face was full of sadness and despair, but he sneered in his heart.
Youyue has subdued Seven Orifices Soul-Bewitching Pill and is already his most loyal subordinate. As long as Lin Fei gives the order, she will definitely let her get away.
All you need to wait for is the opportunity.
A Ye Ming time to leave the palace!
As soon as the information about the bone flute comes out, how can Ye Ming sit still?
Previously, Lin Fei entered Ye Ming's palace without making any move, just to get Heavenly Demon Jade Token. Now Heavenly Demon Jade Token is determined to be Ye Ming. Once there is such an opportunity again, he will definitely take action without any hesitation!
When Lin Fei was imprisoned in Ye Wudi's cell, the entire severe punishment area was in a state of shock, and even Devil Race howled with excitement.
Ye Wudi looked even weirder.
"It's really a honey trap!"
"First win my favor, and then gain my sympathy, just to get the news, right?"
