Yeji didn't know that her every move was being watched.
Seeing her repelling two groups of assassins with her own strength, Nangong Ji had a sinister look on her face and a stern voice: "Bitch! Didn't you say she is a waste who cannot practice? Then what is this?"
With a crisp sound of "Pa!", Ye Rongyue was slapped hard by Nangong Ji.
Ye Rongyue's body trembled violently, and she covered her face, unable to believe what she saw.
Ye Ji can't practice. This has been known to everyone since she was a child. How come she suddenly...
"Eldest Princess, you see, there is clearly no profound energy fluctuation in her body. Maybe she got some other opportunity." Ye Rongyue tried to explain.
After hearing this, Nangong Ji slapped Ye Rongyue again without thinking, "Shut up!"
At this moment, Nangong Ji's whole body was exuding a terrible chill.
However, as soon as she finished slapping Ye Rongyue, she thought of something!
The Earth Protector once said that in order to marry her, Emperor Zun specially made a magical artifact for her, called the Phantom Veil, and that Phantom Veil can cover up cultivation!
Could it be that this Ye Ji has the same artifact as the Phantom Veil?
"Eldest Princess, please calm down. Ye Ji cannot practice. This is something everyone knows. Now that she has profound power, she must have had some opportunity..." Ye Rongyue covered her face and cried in defense.
She was worried that if she didn't try hard to defend herself, she might go home dead soon!
Now she is no longer Ye Ming's biological daughter. If the eldest princess wants to kill her, it will be as easy as killing an ant!
The Earth Protector came to look for Nangong Ji to get back the Blood Spirit Pearl. He happened to see this scene, and for a moment, his heart trembled slightly.
opportunity?
If we talk about opportunities, isn't it the phantom veil that Lord Emperor gave her?
It sounds like she blames Protector Jin. If Protector Jin hadn't sent the wrong dimension bag, Ye Ji would have been unable to win over Madam, and Madam wouldn't have been so humiliated.
Protector Tu, who had long treated Nangong Ji as the emperor's wife, now looked at Nangong Ji without the previous disgust. On the contrary, he still felt some sympathy and guilt.
"Madam." Protector Tu said, interrupting the exchange between Nangong Ji and Ye Rongyue.
Seeing the protector beside Emperor Zun coming, Nangong Ji glanced at Ye Rongyue coldly and motioned for her to retreat.
After Ye Rongyue retreated, Nangong Ji looked at the Earth Protector and said in a soft voice with a smile: "Why are the Earth Protectors here? But the Emperor wants to see me?"
Emperor Zun has not seen her since the banquet ended. Originally, she could use Huangfu Sihan as an excuse to go to Emperor Zun, but now she has no excuse.
The Earth Protector's face was slightly stiff, and he hesitated for a long time before telling him about the Blood Spirit Pearl.
"Blood? Blood Spirit Pearl?" After hearing this, Nangong Ji was filled with fear: "Okay, why does the Emperor suddenly want the Blood Spirit Pearl?"
With just a drop of blood, the blood spirit bead can bring the owner of the blood to find his or her loved ones!
Back then, after she knew that the Blood Spirit Pearl had this effect, she snatched it away without saying a word, for fear that Huangfu Sihan would use it to harm her!
Now five years have passed and Emperor Zun has not mentioned the Blood Spirit Pearl. She thought that Emperor Zun did not need it and had forgotten about it.
When the Earth Protector saw her ugly face, he thought to himself: Just look, he will know that the lady must be useful.
I don’t know what possessed the Lord, but he actually came to trouble Madam for an outsider.
If an outsider wants to use it, why should the lady use it first?
"To be honest, this blood spirit bead was not used by the Lord, but by He Feng." Protector Tu was dissatisfied and told the truth to Nangong Ji with resentment: "Then He Feng cured the Lord's poison, Lord Shang felt that he owed him a favor, so he wanted to use the Blood Spirit Pearl to repay it."
Nangong Ji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't Emperor Zun who wanted to use it.
It’s not just Emperor Zun who wants to use it!
But, He Feng?
Then isn't He Feng in the same group as Ye Ji?
What is he going to do with the Blood Spirit Pearl?
Could it be that he wanted to investigate Si Han's life experience?
"This...can you take me to see the Emperor? I still have use for the Blood Spirit Pearl, and I'm afraid I won't be able to lend it to He Feng for the time being." Nangong Ji said with difficulty.
Before Emperor Zun married her, she would never return the Blood Spirit Pearl!
Upon hearing this, the Earth Protector had an expression as expected: "I knew Madam was in urgent need, so let me go back to the Lord first and see if I can wait for Madam to finish using it before lending it to He Feng."
Nangong Ji didn't expect that Protector Tu would be so considerate, and he immediately beamed: "That's great, you really did me a big favor!"
As if he thought of something, Nangong Ji took out a bag of spiritual stones from his waist and handed it to the Earth Protector: "Earth Protector, among the five protectors of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, you are the best to me. When I officially become the emperor, I will definitely promote you to be my confidant.”
"When the time comes, I'll ask Emperor Zun for someone, so don't refuse." Nangong Ji looked very optimistic about him!
The Earth Protector was a little flattered and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, the Empress, for your appreciation."
The reason why he said this was to bet on whether he could pass this and become the emperor's confidant.
As if he had thought of something, he added: "Madam, don't pay too much attention to the competition. With your strength, you will definitely be able to defeat the ghost-faced King of Hell. If she didn't rely on the phantom veil given by the Lord to cover her, With your cultivation level, with your strength, you can definitely beat her to her feet!"
The original intention of the Earth Protector was to enlighten Nangong Ji, but unexpectedly, he exposed the emperor's betrothal gift to Nangong Ji.
When Nangong Ji heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Her eyes widened suddenly and she asked in disbelief: "Isn't the Phantom Veil a betrothal gift given to me by Emperor Zun? It was specially made for me. How could it come to Ye Ji's place?" In the hands of a bitch?”
Nangong Ji was completely angry!
She already hated Ye Ji so much that her teeth itched with hatred, but now that she heard that all her betrothal gifts had gone to Ye Ji, her hatred became even stronger!
Protector Tu looked at Nangong Ji's ferocious face and finally realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
He wished he could slap his two big mouths so that his mouth would have a long memory, but the words had already been spoken and it was impossible to get them back.
"The Golden Protector sent it to you by mistake that day, and sent the dowry gift to you to the ghost-faced King of Hell." The Earth Protector explained weakly.
Seeing Nangong Ji's face getting darker, he quickly comforted him and said, "It's all Ye Ji's fault. If an ordinary person received such valuable things, they would be embarrassed to accept them and would definitely return them. But not only did she not, I accepted it with peace of mind, and even wore it on my face with great arrogance!”
When the space bag was delivered, Protector Earth was not present. He only knew that Protector Jin sent it to the wrong person, and Ye Ji had no intention of returning it, so he thought it was Ye Ji who did not want to return it, which led to this situation.
After Nangong Ji heard this, he couldn't hold back at all: "Ye Ji!"
She gritted her teeth and read out the word Ye Ji. Every time she read a word, she felt like she wanted to bite the word into pieces with her teeth.
