Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

Chapter 186 (Part 1) Cut off her left hand

Taji Guli couldn’t help but look at Su Mei twice. Wanyan Kang destroyed her clan, so she had to ruin Wanyan Kang’s lover in return. In this way, we called it a revenge for a revenge.

How could Su Mei not understand Taji Guli’s thoughts? Although she didn’t know that Taji Guli wanted to ruin her to retaliate against Wanyan Kang, Su Mei could still see the chilliness in the eyes of this woman. However, Su Mei who was overwhelmed by jealousy didn’t think differently about it. Instead, she thought that Taji Guli had really fallen for Wanyan Kang, which made her (SM) feel annoyed.

“We will send little shizi1 ourselves. Go busy yourself with other things!”

Su Mei walked with Wanyan Kang without hesitation towards the front hall, leaving Taji Guli ferociously looking at the back of Su Mei as if she could make a hole in Su Mei’s back by glaring at her.

But how could she let go of such a good opportunity?! Taji Guli wasn’t someone who would just leave after a word from Su Mei.

“Wangye2, let me carry little shizi to the front hall! This is our wangye’s command. You are making things difficult for this slave!” Taji Guli stubbornly stood in front of Wanyan Kang and Su Mei, and insisted on holding Feng Xiao.

“What the hell?”

The more Su Mei looked at this maid, the more unpleasant she was.

“Because this slave was sent by wangye. This slave only listens to the command of wangye.” Taji Guli tried to frighten Su Mei with the name of Feng Cang. What she never expected was that Feng Qi Qi and Su Yue had already arrived from behind.

“What’s the matter? What happened?”

A fiery red dressed Feng Qi Qi slowly arrived. At the first sight of Feng Qi Qi, Taji Guli had a feeling of almost being suffocated.

The well-defined black and white of her (FQQ) eye, the pretty dimples of her artful smile and her every movement, revealed nobleness and excellence. That small and exquisite facial features were so matched that it was comfortable to watch, just like a fairy who stayed in the human world. Especially, the little cinnabar mole between Feng Qi Qi’s eyebrows made her a little more immortal.

Feng Qi Qi walked over step by step. Her pace was light and her skirt was like the shallow wave, slowly moving forward. This made Taji Guli stare in awe.

It was no wonder that Feng Cang would fall in love with such a woman. Even she would also be fascinated by Feng Qi Qi.

Looking at Feng Qi Qi, Taji Guli thought of her left face. At that time, Feng Cang knocked her down from the horse. Her left face was destroyed, so she tattooed her face to cover up those ugly scars. Now, compared to the fairy-like Feng Qi, she was simply an ugly woman. Men are mostly visual. Even ordinary men would not like her current face, let alone Feng Cang….

In the end, all the emotions turned into something called envy, jealousy and hatred. Taji Guli envied Feng Qi Qi’s stunning appearance, and also hated herself for losing in terms of appearance. However, she didn’t hate Feng Cang who brought such painful results to her. Instead, she hated Feng Qi Qi to the bones.

This woman stole her beloved man. Wasn’t it all relying on this face that was able to charm the world?! If she (FQQ) was disfigured, Feng Cang would also abandon her (FQQ). She (TG) also wanted this woman who was much doted, get a taste of heartbreak.

“Miss….” Su Mei greeted Feng Qi Qi. Subsequently, she called Su Yue over. “Su Yue, she said that she is wangfu’s servant. Have you ever seen her?”

Su Yue looked at Taji Guli for a moment and shook her head. “Which courtyard are you from? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

“This slave lives far away. Of course, missus wouldn’t know.” Taji Guli quickly defended herself, but her words made Su Mei even more distrustful of her. “Su Yue know all the people in wangfu3. Since Su Yue hasn’t seen you before, then you’re not from wangfu. Say! Who the hell are you?”

‘Bang….’ Taji Guli’s legs weakened and she knelt before Feng Qi Qi. “This slave is really a servant from wangfu, but is a new one. There weren’t enough people due to little shizi’s one month birthday banquet, so I was arranged to come help.”

“Is it?” Feng Qi also noticed something strange. She nodded to Su Mei and Su Yue. The two stepped forward and helped Taji Guli get up. “Don’t cry. When we see the housekeeper, we will know who you are! Let’s go with us!”

“What are you doing?” Taji Guli pretended to be frightened. Su Mei raised an eyebrow. “What? You don’t dare to confront it? Or are you feeling guilty?”

“This slave didn’t!” Taji Guli straightened her back. “Let’s go!”

Su Mei and Su Yue were a bit surprised after seeing her (TGL) in this state. Could she really be a new servant? The two followed Taji Guli from behind, while Wanyan Kang held Feng Xiao, walked beside Feng Qi Qi and chatted with her.

Taji Guli walked in front, but she was thinking about how to break away from the current situation. If Su Mei and Su Yue really brought her to the confrontation, her identity would be exposed. There was still some distance from the front hall, she had to find an opportunity to run away. How to get rid of the current predicament and get out of here was a question that Taji Guli had to ponder.

“Aiya….” When they reached the rockery, Taji Guli’s hand pressed her stomach and shouted.

“What’s wrong?”

“This slave may have eaten something bad. Ever since yesterday, I had diarrhea.” Taji Guli painfully bowed into a shrimp-like shape. Su Yue stepped forward and wanted to check on her. To her surprise, the other person (TGL) directly scattered a white powder.

“Be careful!” Feng Qi Qi warned the others to hold their breath. On the other hand, Wanyan Kang discovered that his hands were empty. “Not good! She snatched the child!”

Feng Qi Qi immediately jumped up and stood on the rockery after hearing that her son was snatched away. Then she saw Taji Guli was fleeing in the wangfu. “Chase her!” Feng Qi Qi chased first and then Wanyan Kang, Su Mei and Su Yue followed after.

Taji Guli was not very familiar with wangfu, so she just kept running. She just entered a yard, then she noticed a cold breeze behind her. She dodged it quickly, but she found out that Feng Qi Qi had already caught up.

“Don’t come over! Stop coming or I’ll kill him!” Forced without any choices, Taji Guli grasped Feng Xiao’s tiny neck. “Did you hear?! Don’t come over!”

When Wanyan Kang, Su Mei and Su Yue rushed over, they saw such a scene. Feng Xiao was snatched away from his (WK) own hands by this woman in front of him, made Wanyan Kang very angry. “Who are you? Put down Xiao er!”

“Who am I?” After listening to Wanyan Kang, Taji Guli sneered and tore off the man-made skin from her face. “Wanyan Kang, now you know who I am!”

“Taji Guli?!” Wanyan Kang’s face sank after seeing the distinct black tattoo on the woman’s left face. “Didn’t expect you to come to Yan capital!”

“Is Xiaoyao wang very surprised?” Taji Guli spoke while her fingers wandered around the neck of Feng Xiao, as if Feng Xiao was a beautiful piece of art. She was carefully studying it.

“Let go of the child!”

Wanyan Kang spoke while he threw Feng Qi Qi a significant look.

“Don’t plan anything! Don’t think I can’t see it!” Taji Guli captured the message of Wanyan Kang. Her slightly black hand locked on Feng Xiao’s throat. “Don’t play any tricks! Otherwise, I will bury him with me!”

“Taji Guli, put down my son. I will let you go!” Feng Qi Qi’s heart panicked, but her face still remained calm.

Feng Qi Qi knew a bit about the matter regarding Taji Guli. She (FQQ) also knew that she (TG) was defeated by Feng Cang and that the scar on her face was bestowed by Feng Cang. Previously, Wanyan Kang fought in the north and defeated the Jurchen clan. During that time, Guoba was beheaded and Taji Guli absconded. Unexpectedly, she actually fled to Yan capital. Could this be the so-called “the most dangerous place is also the safest place”?

It seemed like this woman in front was not so stupid at all. However, what did she want to do by sneaking into wangfu? Could it be to capture Feng Xiao?

In Feng Qi Qi’s eyes, there were no people more important than Feng Cang and Feng Xiao in this world. Now, Feng Xiao was in Taji Guli’s hands. Seeing her son’s tender face turn red because of difficulty with breathing, Feng Qi Qi desperately wanted to kill Taji Guli.

“Let me go? Will you be so kind? Do I trust you?” Taji Guli sneered at the words of Feng Qi Qi. She wasn’t so stupid! She would be safe as long as Feng Xiao was in her hands. If she really released Feng Xiao, they would surely turn against her and kill her immediately.

Currently, Taji Guli regretted that she had come alone. She wanted to see what Feng Cang’s woman looked like. And meanwhile, kidnapped Feng Cang’s son to talk to him (FC) about the conditions. So she didn’t bring anyone along and went into wangfu alone. Taji Guli never imagined that Feng Qi Qi was such an astute person and never even thought that Su Yue actually knew everyone in wangfu.

Today, she was defeated by Feng Qi Qi. Taji Guli refused to accept it. From Taji Guli’s point of view, the reason why Feng Qi Qi could beat her and occupied Feng Cang’s heart, was because she (FQQ) had a pretty face. Feng Qi Qi was nothing without such face.

At this moment, Taji Guli was somewhat panicking after being surrounded by Feng Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang and the others. She didn’t know whether she could successfully get away today! She didn’t want to die here, at least, she couldn’t die now! She hadn’t married Feng Cang and hadn’t become his bride yet. She absolutely couldn’t get caught by Feng Qi Qi.

“Get out of the way! Or I’ll choke him to death!”

Taji Guli put a little more strength in her hand as she spoke. To her surprise, Feng Xiao didn’t cry nor made noises from the beginning till now. Even when his throat was clutched, Feng Xiao didn’t cry. His face only turned red.

Was this really an one-month-old baby? Feng Xiao was so abnormal that Taji Guli couldn’t help but look down at Feng Xiao. After looking at that pair of purple eyes of Feng Xiao, Taji Guli froze.

This was wrong! Feng Cang’s eyes are black, Feng Qi Qi’s eyes are also black. But why are the eyes of Feng Xiao purple? Could it be…? Taji Guli looked at Feng Qi Qi. Could it be that this child was ‘the bastard’ of Feng Qi Qi and others?

Time was pressing. Taji Guli had no time to think and to see whether Feng Xiao’s features were similar to Feng Cang. Personally, she had already placed a title of ‘illegitimate child’ on Feng Xiao. At the thought of her beloved man and made his spirit and soul upside down for this woman. Now, he also had to accept the child of Feng Qi Qi and others, Taji Guli found it unfair for Feng Cang.

Spirit and soul upside down: infatuated and head over heels in love / fascinated/captivated

“Taji Guli, let go of my child!” Two golden threads appeared in Feng Qi Qi’s hands. The appearance of Feng Xiao made Feng Qi Qi feel extremely heartache for him. This child unexpectedly didn’t cry nor made noises. This made Feng Qi Qi as the mother even more uncomfortable! She wished she could immediately kill Taji Guli!

“Feng Qi Qi, Feng Cang was so good to you. You actually betrayed him? How can you let him down?! Feng Cang was so good to you from the bottom of his heart, but you simply failed him!

What Taji Guli said seemed a bit ridiculous to Feng Qi Qi. What kind of messy things is she saying? What did she mean? Feng Qi Qi was too lazy to argue with her. The golden thread in her hand flashed. “Taji Guli, I say it once more! Let go of my child and I will spare you! Otherwise, I’ll make you regret everything you did today!”

“I won’t….”

When she said this, Taji Guli suddenly smelled an unusual smell. Her left hand that was holding Feng Xiao, also became wet. It seemed like there was a kind of warm water, which was falling from her fingers to the ground.

When she saw her hand with the warm urine of the child, Taji Guli screamed and threw Feng Xiao away. “Ah.” In her whole life, she hated these dirty things the most. Besides, this urine dried very quickly on her hands. That kind of weird smell made Taji Guli almost want to vomit.

Chapter 186 (Part 2) Cut off her left hand

“Xiao er1!” Wanyan Kang jumped into the air and carried Feng Xiao into his arms. At the same time, the golden threads in Feng Qi Qi’s hand flew towards Taji Guli and wrapped around her (TGL) left hand that was choking Feng Xiao.

“Aahh….” Only a scream was heard. The golden threads cut off Taji Guli’s left hand evenly from the wrist area.

The broken hand fell to the ground and dyed the ice and snow on the soil red. Taji Guli held her broken arm and tried to pick up her left hand. At the same time, the weapons in the hands of Su Mei and Su Yue had already gone straight to her (TG) face.

“Be careful!”

A figure suddenly appeared and threw a smoke bomb. The thick smoke spread out and enveloped everyone in it. After the smoke dispersed, Taji Guli had already disappeared. Only her broken left hand remained on the ground.

“Chase!” Su Mei and Su Yue chased out, while Feng Qi Qi quickly came to Wanyan Kang’s side. “Let me see the child!”

“The child is alright! Cousin-in-law, I’ll go after them too!”

Wanyan Kang was just ready to go but was stopped by Feng Qi Qi. “Ah Kang, go seal off the capital! If it’s too late, they will definitely escape from the city. Then it will be even harder to capture Taji Guli!”

“I understand, cousin-in-law!”

Feng Qi Qi inspected Feng Xiao from head to toe. Only after seeing him safe and sound, did she feel relieved. Touching the ice-cold and wet nappy, Feng Qi Qi quickly held Feng Xiao and rushed back to Tingsong Building.

“You little one, today mother was terrified by you!”

Feng Qi Qi got warm water and gave Feng Xiao a clean wash. Afterwards, she gently applied ointment to his neck. Taji Guli’s hands were very strong and Feng Xiao’s skin was very delicate, so now the little baby’s neck was clearly marked with blue and purple bruises. Seeing that, Feng Qi Qi’s tears couldn’t help but fall.

“I’m sorry! It’s mother’s fault! I didn’t take good care of you! It’s mother’s fault!” Feng Qi Qi’s tears fell down like beautiful pearls. After she put clothes on Feng Xiao and wrapped him in the nappy, she finally wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Woo….”

Feng Xiao rolled his big eyes and had been staring at Feng Qi Qi. His red face of a moment ago had now returned to normal. He seemed to understand why Feng Qi Qi was sad, and Feng Xiao began to ‘yiyi yaya’, as if to say ‘mother, don’t worry. I’m alright!’

After seeing Feng Xiao being so obedient, Feng Qi Qi felt even more sad. “Xiao er, let’s go! Let your father avenge us!”

When Feng Qi Qi carried Feng Xiao to the front hall, Wanyan Jie and Dongfang Lan had already been there for a while. Feng Cang was greeting them, when he saw Feng Qi Qi and strode over. “Qing Qing, you are here!”

Because the place Taji Guli just went was the remotest place in wangfu2, the incident hadn’t yet reached Feng Cang. Now, seeing Feng Cang walked gently over, Feng Qi Qi called. “Cang….” Her tears immediately poured down like the broken gate of a flood.

Princess Zhen Guo crying like this, surprised the numerous officials and their wives. What exactly happened? Wasn’t this the one-month birthday banquet? Why was Feng Qi Qi crying?

After seeing the tears of the woman in front of him, Feng Cang’s heart tightened. “What’s the matter? What happened?”

“Just now, there was a thief in the residence. They almost took Xiao er away! Ah Kang, Su Mei and Su Yue went to chase the thief. Cang, look at our Xiao er!” Feng Qi Qi opened the nappy and let Feng Cang see the marks on Feng Xiao’s neck.

“Who was that person?” Feng Cang’s face was gloomy after looking at the horrible marks on his beloved son’s tender neck. A violent aura spread out of him, caused everyone at the scene to shudder.

“It’s Taji Guli! She snatched Xiao er and threatened to kill him!”

“Taji Guli?” Dongfang Lan quickly came over and took Feng Xiao from Feng Qi Qi. At this time, Wanyan Ming Yue and Feng Xie also rushed over. “Oh God! That heartless woman! She wants to kill Xiao er!” Dongfang Lan was very angry. “Servants, go and search the city! Find this snake-hearted woman!”

“Grandmother, I had already let Ah Kang seal off the capital!”

“Good! Dare to touch aijia’s3 little great-grandson! Must find her!”

Feng Cang and Dongfang Lan had the same attitude. He held Feng Qi Qi’s hand and his voice became cold. “Taji Guli was truly courageous to sneak into the regent’s residence? Don’t know…who gave her this courage?”

When he said this, Feng Cang’s eyes swept over the guests who had come to congratulate him. The chilliness in his eyes made everyone feel scared. What did the regent mean? Could it be that Taji Guli was related to these guests? Did a guest bring her in?

These people were scared as soon as they thought of those methods of Feng Cang. Those officials were all ‘you look at me, I look at you’. No one dared to utter a word, but in their heart, all were wondering “who actually did this ‘good thing’!”

“Ji Xiang!” Feng Cang called out Ji Xiang. He pulled off the tiger tally from his waist and tossed it to her. “Pass on my orders. Let the Eagle troup seal off the city gates. All people are not allowed to leave the capital. You, take some people and search each and every house for me! Benwang4 wants to see who has such great courage to actually harbor an imperial court criminal! If the one who harbors the criminal was found, catch him! If he resists, kill him!”

“Yes!” Ji Xiang took the tiger tally and rushed out.

After doing these, Feng Cang softly comforted Feng Qi Qi. After a while, Feng Qi Qi’s tears stopped. Dongfang Lan treasured this great-grandson, Feng Xiao. She carried him and left the place, accompanied by Wanyan Jie and Wanyan Ming Yue.

The main character of this one-month birthday banquet had already left, but Feng Cang didn’t plan to let these officials return.

“Sit! Let the feast begin!” Feng Cang said so but called over the housekeeper Feng Qi. He (FC) whispered a few words to him (FQ) and then Feng Qi retreated.

“Thank you all for attending the full moon banquet of my son! Thanks a lot!” A ‘thanks a lot’ was said from Feng Cang’s mouth, but it was full of coldness. Feng Cang knew that although his wangfu’s manpower was limited, but their defense was still very much available. Today was Feng Xiao’s full moon banquet so, there wasn’t enough manpower, but he never expected that Taji Guli would sneak in.

Every single person who entered wangfu could only come in with an invitation card. That could only mean one thing. Taji Guli entered wangfu with one of the officials in front of him. In other words, someone in the court had taken Taji Guli in. It seemed to Feng Cang that this was an extremely dangerous signal!

Although Dong Lu, Xi Qi and the Jurchen clan had become history, Longze Jing Tian and Taji Guli weren’t captured yet. Now, Taji Guli was actually in the capital of Bei Zhou, indicating that someone in the court was in collusion with her.

Who on earth was it? Who had such a great courage to take Taji Guli in?

When Feng Cang was silent, Feng Yu commanded the people to serve the dishes. Delicious foods were put one by one on the table. However, the people sitting there all had lost their interest in tasting. Assassinating the regent’s little shizi5, how big of a crime was it?! No one could take on the fury of Feng Cang.

When everyone was worried, Mu Hua’s heart also felt unsettled. Taji Guli was really crazy! She actually sneaked into the vision of Feng Cang and also wanted to kill Feng Xiao! This woman was so stupid! Didn’t they discuss it already that everything should go according to the plan? This woman looked very smart, but why did she lose her mind today?

Feng Qi led the people and searched the whole wangfu carefully. Until the afternoon, did he come back to the front hall.

“Wangye6, this is the clothes we found at the side of the latrine. Taji Guli killed a maid of wangfu and changed into the maid’s appearance. The corpse of the maid had been found in the latrine.”

Feng Cang sent the invitation cards for the one-month birthday banquet of Feng Xiao to the officials in the capital. Moreover, the invitation cards of the regent’s wangfu were specially customized. It was simply impossible to fake it. Feng Qi took out the invitation card from the clothes and handed over with both hands. Feng Cang took and looked at it. The name on this card was an official from the capital.

“Zhou De Li?” Feng Cang read aloud. After hearing the name, those who waited for the results, quickly looked around to see where this bastard Zhou De Li was hiding. Just looking around one time, they discovered that this person simply didn’t come.

“Go to Zhou De Li’s house!”

After waiting for a while, Feng Qi hurried back. “Wangye, sir Zhou fainted in his own carriage. It seemed that he was drugged.”

Only after listening to Feng Qi’s words, did Mu Hua’s heart relax. Fortunately, Taji Guli wasn’t so stupid. She still knew to take someone else’s card to enter. However, don’t know where this stupid woman was hiding now! He hoped she didn’t go to the prime minister’s residence. At this moment, don’t implicate him at all.

“Since no one was involved, I troubled you to take this trip here today! My beloved son was frightened today. Benwang has to catch the culprit to avenge my son, so I won’t keep everyone company anymore. Please enjoy, everyone! Feng Qi help benwang kindly take care of the guests!” Feng Cang stood up and apologized, then he held Feng Qi Qi’s hand and went to the back.

“What actually happened?” While they walked, Feng Cang asked Feng Qi Qi. At this moment, he was rushing to see Feng Xiao. A moment ago, he only took a glance and didn’t look closely. Now, it was certain that Taji Guli wasn’t brought by the visitors. The first thing he had to do was to see his baby son first.

Feng Qi Qi carefully told him what had happened. After listening that Feng Qi Qi had cut off Taji Guli’s hand, Feng Cang’s eyes showed an approved look.

“Who saved Taji Guli? Was it Longze Jing Tian?”

Feng Cang mentioned Longze Jing Tian, made Feng Qi Qi somewhat surprised. “It’s not him. I know the voice of Longze Jing Tian. Why do you think it’s him?”

“If Taji Guli can hide in Yan capital, Longze Jing Tian also can. I’m worried about them joining forces. That’s going to be trouble….”

An unprecedented arrest was being carried out outside wangfu.

The commoners were furious when they learned that little shizi from the regent’s residence was almost killed. They earned a lot of money due to the birth of this little shizi. He was practically their lucky star! Now, someone wanted to kill little shizi? Who was actually so heartless! He/she was really a bastard! Out of anger, the commoners of Yan capital also volunteered to help the Eagle troup find Taji Guli’s whereabouts.

As Mu Hua was hoping in his heart for Taji Guli to not hide at his place, this woman indeed hid at the prime minister’s residence.

“Hey, Guli, how are you?” Duyi patted Taji Guli’s face. The housekeeper of the prime minister’s residence had already found a doctor to bind up Taji Guli’s left hand. Fortunately, Duyi had already deal with the broken left hand. If not, she would die of bleeding. It would then be the end of her life.

“Die, wouldn’t die….” Taji Guli’s lips were pale as she frowned. The pain from her broken hand made her shiver all over. “Duyi, Thank you…today….”

“Don’t mention it! Don’t be so foolish next time! It’s impossible for you to fight against Feng Cang with your own strength alone.”

When he spoke this, Duyi thought of Feng Qi Qi. That woman was quick and cruel. And the golden threads in her hand was a weapon that totally could take away a human life. Fortunately, he was prepared. Otherwise, they would all die today at the regent’s residence.

“Feng Qi Qi is very powerful! You can’t afford to offend her!” Duyi gave Taji Guli a word of advice. “In the future, you better don’t go to provoke her!”

“No…I have to take revenge!” As soon as she remembered her left hand was cut off by Feng Qi Qi, Taji Guli hated Feng Qi Qi from the bottom of her heart.

Previously, she thought that Feng Qi Qi gained the favor of Feng Cang by the virtue of beauty. Now, she knew that she was wrong. This woman had strong power. However, Taji Guli didn’t think that she was less than Feng Qi Qi. Today, it was an accident. She was careless, and the other party had many people. If it was one-on-one, she may not lose to Feng Qi Qi.

Duyi saw the ‘unwillingness to submit’ from Taji Guli’s eyes. This woman had lost her left hand because of her stubbornness and obstinacy. Now, she still refused to repent, and remained so stubborn.

“This is a decoction. Drink it every morning and evening. This is herbal plaster. It should be changed every five days.”

The doctor who had bandaged the wounds of Taji Guli, wrote prescriptions and handed them to the housekeeper. “If there is nothing else, I will take my leave! I will come back to visit this girl tomorrow!”

“Alright, thank you!” Duyi smiled and sent the doctor. He waited until the doctor carried his medicine box and turned to go. A dagger appeared in Duyi’s hand and was directly plunged into the back of the doctor.
