Before long, the Empress and her entourage had left.
In the courtyard, the embers were still burning, and crackling sounds could be heard from time to time.
"call……"
Chen Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He had just used all his strength to activate the Nine Dragons Body Control Technique to block the Empress and the others.
"The Empress is so vicious."
"When I grow up, I will make her pay tenfold or a hundredfold!"
"However, it seems we won't be able to wait until then!"
Chen Qingfeng sighed inwardly.
He knew very well that after the massacre at Taiping Villa, the Empress's lineage was brutally wiped out.
In the end, only the Empress remained, reaping the consequences of her own actions.
"It's just a pity I was born as a baby."
"Otherwise, with my Nine Dragons Body Control Technique and Azure Dragon True Qi, I might still be able to save Ye Qingmei from death."
Thinking about it, Chen Qingfeng turned his gaze to Ye Qingmei, who had already died.
She lay in a pool of blood, the firelight casting shadows on her face, as serene as a water lily just beginning to bloom!
"He actually committed suicide."
Looking at Ye Qingmei, who seemed to be asleep, Chen Qingfeng was filled with emotion.
If he remembered correctly.
Ye Qingmei was originally hacked to death by the Empress's faction, leaving no trace of her body; it was an extremely tragic scene!
But now, Ye Qingmei has committed suicide.
"Was it my arrival that caused things to change?"
Chen Qingfeng pondered to himself.
I thought that my appearance would inevitably change the course of many things.
"It's a pity that no matter how things were changed, Ye Qingmei still died."
"What an absolutely stunning woman!"
"How could it have ended up like this?"
Chen Qingfeng sighed inwardly, his baby eyes staring intently at Ye Qingmei, who seemed to be asleep.
"That's it!"
"Fortunately, I survived."
"Thanks to the sign-in rewards I've accumulated over the years."
"Now, let's just wait quietly for Chen Pingping and Fan Jian to arrive!"
Then, Chen Qingfeng waited quietly.
It can be determined that at this point in time, Chen Pingping and Fan Jian should be on their way back, and may already be close to Taiping Villa.
That is why the Empress and the others, having been unable to do anything to him, chose to leave.
Better safe than sorry, Chen Qingfeng still activated the Nine Dragons Body Protection Technique to protect himself.
Golden light emanated from his body, surrounded by the phantom images of three golden dragons.
Chapter Eight: Chen Pingping is filled with grief and indignation! Something is amiss!
Not long after, the sound of heavy hooves came from outside Taiping Villa.
Soon, the black-clad knights, clad in iron armor and wielding spears, had placed the entire villa under martial law.
At this moment, a man in a wheelchair, escorted by black-clad riders, entered the villa.
The entire Taiping Villa has been burned beyond recognition.
The surrounding buildings were blackened, windows were broken, and doors were open.
Various debris and broken pieces were scattered on the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of smoke and burning.
Corpses lay strewn across pools of blood, a tragic and gruesome sight!
"This……"
Seeing what was happening before her, Chen Pingping was in a state of utter confusion, her expression filled with anxiety.
He quickly reached out his hands and pushed the wheelchair forward to speed things up.
Before long, Chen Pingping arrived in the inner courtyard.
Looking around, he immediately spotted Ye Qingmei lying on the ground and Chen Qingfeng, who was protected by three golden dragons!
"Miss!"
Chen Pingping cried out in a trembling voice, completely losing her composure, and subconsciously tried to stand up from her wheelchair.
Little did he know that his legs were already crippled.
Caught off guard, he fell directly to the ground from his wheelchair.
Upon seeing this, the black-clad riders behind him quickly stepped forward and helped Chen Pingping to her feet.
Ignoring everything else, Chen Pingping quickly pushed the wheelchair to Ye Qingmei's body.
"No!"
"Will not!"
"Miss won't die."
Chen Pingping shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Upon receiving the news, he led his Black Riders on a rapid march back.
But even with all the rush, they were still a step too late.
Ye Qingmei had already been brutally murdered and died on the spot.
Tears welled up uncontrollably and streamed down Chen Pingping's smooth face.
"How could this be?"
"Miss……"
Chen Pingping was heartbroken and cried like a baby.
At the same time, Chen Qingfeng was sizing up Chen Pingping.
"Is he Chen Wuchang?"
Chen Qingfeng muttered to himself, his big eyes staring intently at Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping's original name was Chen Wuchang.
Ye Qingmei thought the name was unpleasant to hear, as it always reminded her of Wuchang rice.
So they simply changed Chen Wuchang's name to Chen Pingping.
Firstly, it's to celebrate our chance encounter, and secondly, it symbolizes peace and safety.
Just as Chen Qingfeng was sizing up Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping slightly suppressed her grief and noticed Chen Qingfeng, who was surrounded by three golden dragons.
"He...he's the young lady's child?"
Seeing Chen Pingping looking at him, Chen Qingfeng voluntarily dispelled the Nine Dragons Body Control Technique.
She knew in her heart that the person in front of her would never harm her.
Then, Chen Pingping stepped forward and picked up Chen Qingfeng, who was still an infant.
"As expected of Miss's child, such extraordinary signs appeared from birth; the future is bound to be limitless!"
Chen Pingping stared intently at Chen Qingfeng, her eyes filled with tenderness.
As he looked around, his gaze shifted and landed on Ye Qingmei's corpse.
Looking back, he was a eunuch in the Prince Cheng's mansion.
After getting to know Ye Qingmei, Ye Qingmei never showed the slightest disdain for him because of his physical disability.
He treated him with sincerity and as a friend!
Chen Pingping, a servant, had never enjoyed such treatment in his entire life.
There was none before Ye Qingmei, and there will never be another after Ye Qingmei.
Emperor Qing treated Chen Pingping very well, but only as a servant.
Ye Qingmei, on the other hand, treated her like a friend.
But now, Ye Qingmei, who had been a mentor to Chen Pingping, is dead.
This caused Chen Pingping's faith to collapse!
Upon recalling the past, a surge of overwhelming hatred welled up in Chen Pingping's eyes.
"The young lady is dead!"
"Then the entire imperial city will be a river of blood!"
"I will make the person who killed you pay a terrible price!"
Chen Pingping said coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Chen Qingfeng, who was being held in Chen Pingping's arms, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew in her heart that Chen Pingping would soon find out that the Empress was the murderer.
At that time, the Empress's lineage will be wiped out in blood.
"Check it for me!"
"Who on earth is so ruthless as to lay a hand on Miss!"
