Infinite: From the Resident Evil

"Feng Xiang?"

When they heard the place name, Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan didn't seem to mind, but the expressions on Lu Linxuan and Shen Ye's faces changed slightly.

Especially Shen Ye, he thought, could it be that the empress sent someone?

Before Ji Ruxue left, he told her about Li Xingyun's life experience. Given the empress's character, upon learning that there was a descendant of Li Tang, she would definitely send someone to investigate. After all, she did so in the original drama.

"However, their speed is too slow. Several days have passed." Thinking of this, Shen Ye was a little puzzled. Although Fengxiang is far away from Yuzhou, it is impossible that they are still near Yuzhou after so many days.

Then, he turned around and looked at the row of rooms with closed windows on the second floor of the inn, and continued to think: "I wonder if Xue'er is here."

In the original drama, Ji Ruxue had an intersection with Li Xingyun, and the empress thought that Ji Ruxue and Li Xingyun had an affair, so she was sent here. But now Ji Ruxue was intercepted by him, and even if he asked Ji Ruxue to tell him about Li Xingyun's identity, he was not sure that the empress would send Ji Ruxue, even though he had promised Ji Ruxue that she would definitely come.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye sighed in his heart: "If Xue'er doesn't come this time, then when this happens, I will go to Fengxiang to find her...well, and meet the empress by the way."

While he was still thinking, Lu Linxuan and the other two had already asked the waiter to leave. Seeing that he seemed to be lost in thought, Lu Linxuan poked his waist with his finger.

"Brother Shen, are you thinking about Sister Xue'er?"

When Lu Linxuan heard the waiter say that those people were from Fengxiang, he also thought of Ji Ruxue. After seeing Shen Ye lost in thought, he immediately knew that he must be thinking about Ji Ruxue, and his face was suddenly filled with jealousy.

After being exposed by Lu Linxuan, and seeing the dissatisfaction and jealousy on the other's face, Shen Ye smiled at her helplessly. Just as he was about to say a few words to comfort her, Zhang Zifan, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly widened his eyes and said excitedly: "Oh my god, Brother Li, what I said this afternoon really worked. We really met a group of beauties."

Since Zhang Zifan was the only one sitting facing the guest room, Shen Ye and the other two did not react when he said this. Then, Li Xingyun, who was sitting on his left, turned his head to look in the direction where he was staring, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Damn, they really are a group of beauties, Brother Zhang, your daydream has come true."

Seeing the two people's exaggerated reactions, Shen Ye and Lu Linxuan looked back curiously, and saw a large group of young women of various looks coming down from the second floor, but the leader looked like a man, but he was ignored by Li Xingyun and Zhang Zifan who were blinded by the beauty.

However, they ignored it because they did not know the identities of the people coming, but Shen Ye recognized the identity of the leader at a glance.

"Empress... why is she here?" Shen Ye was a little surprised. Isn't this plot wrong? Is it another coincidence?

Just when he was feeling puzzled, he saw Ji Ruxue among the young women who came down from the second floor.

It seemed like they had telepathic connection. The moment he looked at Ji Ruxue, Ji Ruxue also saw him, and her originally cold expression suddenly turned into one of great joy.

I don't know if she was overwhelmed by longing, but she blurted out: "Brother Shen."

The result of this voice made everyone in front and behind her look at her.

The empress who was walking in the front also stopped. She slowly turned her head and looked at Ji Ruxue coldly. Then she pointed at the tables of people sitting in the yard and asked with gritted teeth: "Xue'er, which one of them is your Big Brother Shen?"

……

Chapter 404! Confrontation with the Empress

……

After Ji Ruxue's shout earlier, the courtyard of the inn fell eerily quiet. Now that the empress spoke, her voice naturally spread throughout the courtyard without any interference.

"Is this... coming to cause trouble for me?"

Shen Ye had incredibly good eyesight, and he saw clearly the empress's gnashing teeth. Combined with what she said, he was suddenly startled, and then inexplicably felt guilty.

Lu Linxuan also felt a little guilty. When Ji Ruxue was around, she used to call Shen Ye "Sister Xue'er" affectionately. And when she guessed that Shen Ye was thinking about Ji Ruxue just now, she felt jealous. But now that Ji Ruxue appeared, she became a little timid instead. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look in Ji Ruxue's direction.

At this time, Ji Ruxue was also lowering her head. She regretted it after she shouted that just now. Now when she heard the empress asking her to identify Shen Ye, she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Why, you dare not admit it but shout? Are you afraid that I will do something to your lover brother?"

Seeing Ji Ruxue hesitant to speak and at a loss, the empress's anger, which had finally been calmed down in the past two days, was ignited again. After saying something coldly, her eyes swept over the seats of several people sitting in the courtyard.

Then, her eyes fell on the table where Shen Ye and others were sitting. After all, except for their table, which was full of young people, handsome men and beautiful women, the people at the other tables were mostly ordinary people.

"Is it one of those guys?" A cold light flashed in the empress's eyes, and then she said, "He must be very handsome to have seduced your soul. Is he the pretty boy with white hair?"

"No." Ji Ruxue quickly shook her head.

"Then who are you talking about?" the empress emphasized.

Ji Ruxue had no choice but to raise her hand with difficulty, but quickly put it down again.

Seeing this scene, the empress's chest rose and fell violently, and she said in a cold voice: "As expected, a girl cannot be kept when she grows up. She even doesn't listen to me. It seems that you still need to be taught a lesson."

As she finished her words, Shen Ye stood up and shouted at her, "It's me."

After all, this was not a shameful thing. It was just that he did not admit it immediately because of his inexplicable guilt at the beginning. But after hearing what the empress said afterwards, if he continued to hide, he might as well dig a hole and bury himself on the spot to avoid embarrassment.

Ji Ruxue was delighted to see Shen Ye standing up, but then she began to panic. She knew that the empress came here in person this time, not only to find the descendant of Li Tang who had been confirmed by the rumors spread by the Xuanming Sect, but also for another purpose to cause trouble for Shen Ye.

"Is this the guy?" Seeing Shen Ye step forward on his own initiative, the empress turned to Ji Ruxue for confirmation.

Ji Ruxue nodded slightly: "He is my Big Brother Shen."

"What a great brother you are, Brother Shen."

The empress snorted coldly, then slowly walked towards Shen Ye, while Ji Ruxue and the other disciples of Huanyinfang followed her in an orderly manner.

"Brother Shen, could it be that someone is coming to you to look for the romantic debt you owed in the past?"

Zhang Zifan had never seen Ji Ruxue, let alone the male version of the empress. In addition, he joined the team the latest, so when he saw the empress and others coming over, he started to tease Shen Ye without knowing anything.

Shen Ye ignored him and just stared at the empress, wondering what she wanted to do.

At this time, the empress had already walked in front of him, looking him up and down with her beautiful eyes, and there was a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

While the empress was looking at Shen Ye, Shen Ye was also looking at her. Looking at the empress's face, which was enough to make most women feel ashamed even with neutral makeup, he could imagine how stunning the empress would be after changing back into women's clothes.

After the two looked at each other, their eyes met coincidentally, but this time the empress's eyes were cold and angry, while Shen Ye's eyes were calm and confused.

He really couldn't understand why the matter between him and Ji Ruxue could make the empress come in person. You have to know that in the original drama, even if she knew Li Xingyun's true identity, she only sent three of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Ji to serve Li Xingyun.

The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Shen Ye spoke first. He clasped his fists and said, "I am Shen Ye, and I am honored to meet the Empress of Huanyinfang."

"You know me?" The empress didn't expect Shen Ye to reveal her identity directly. Then she turned around and looked at Ji Ruxue behind her: "Xue'er, did you tell her?"

"I don't have it." Ji Ruxue quickly shook her head.

"It's not Xue'er's business. I just guessed it." Shen Ye also explained.

At this moment, behind him, Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan and the other three widened their eyes again. They did not expect that the person in men's clothing in front of them was actually the Queen of Huanyinfang.

"No wonder she looks so handsome, it turns out she is a woman dressed as a man." Zhang Zifan breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing the empress in men's clothing, he felt no less pressure than Shen Ye. For the first time, he felt inferior about his appearance.

Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan looked at Shen Ye worriedly.

"Guessed? Do you think I would believe it?" The empress didn't believe Shen Ye guessed. She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what kind of magic potion you fed this little bitch that made her arm become crooked after just a few days."

"Hey, if you want to scold someone, you can scold me, why scold Xue'er." Shen Ye became dissatisfied when he heard the empress calling Ji Ruxue a little bitch. Although he knew that Ji Ruxue was just a maid beside the empress, and it was ancient times now, and as a master, it was not excessive to teach the maid a lesson in any way, but he was still very unhappy.

But after hearing what he said, the empress was also very unhappy and angrily said, "Do I need your permission to teach my maid a lesson?"

"But she is my woman now." Shen Ye retorted, and then he saw Ji Ruxue's eyes suddenly filled with mist.

At the same time, he also felt a resentful gaze coming from behind.

"Your woman, you have only known each other for a few days? But I have raised her for more than ten years." The empress said angrily, and her body involuntarily took a few steps forward, only one step away from Shen Ye.

At such a close distance, even though the empress was wearing men's clothes, there was still a faint fragrance that wafted into Shen Ye's nose, which made him wrinkle his nose slightly, and even his momentum seemed to weaken a little.

"So what if it's more than ten years..." he said, but his tone was not as strong as before. It was unknown whether it was because of the empress's words or for some other reason.

Naturally, his subtle movement did not escape the eyes of the empress. She knew that she was too close and the other party could smell her body fragrance. A trace of shame flashed in her eyes. After all, in the more than ten years since she took charge of Huanyinfang and Qi Kingdom, this was the first time she had been so close to a strange man.

……

(It’s early today, hehe)

Chapter 405! Are you serious?

……

Thinking of this, the empress instinctively wanted to step back a little, but when she saw that Shen Ye's momentum was a little weaker than before, she felt that retreating at this time would be tantamount to giving away the advantage she had inexplicably gained, so she simply straightened her chest, slightly raised her head and looked at Shen Ye.

There was no way, she was almost a head shorter than Shen Ye. It would be fine if the distance was far, but when she was so close, she could only see Shen Ye's chin if she didn't look up.

However, this also meant that Shen Ye could only lower his head slightly when looking at her, otherwise he could only see her forehead. But from an outsider's perspective, this posture of the two of them clearly showed that the tall Shen Ye had the advantage in momentum.

The empress seemed to feel that this was not good for her. She wanted to ask her subordinates to move a chair for her to stand on, but that would be too childish, so she followed Shen Ye's words and said, "What do you mean by raising her for more than ten years? Are the few days you spent together worth the more than ten years of my upbringing?"

Looking at the empress who was arguing with him about the grace of raising him, Shen Ye suddenly had a headache. He didn't understand why the empress was so entangled and had to argue about who was right and who was wrong when it was obviously just a small matter. Does it mean that after Ji Ruxue followed him, she was no longer his person?

Shen Ye pinched his brows to ease the depression in his heart, and then asked helplessly: "According to what you said, do I have to ask you for permission to see Xue'er in the future?"

"Of course." The empress suddenly felt proud. "I have raised her for more than ten years. I am no different from her mother. Whoever she is with and whoever she likes must be approved by me."

The empress's words made Shen Ye sneer. He looked her up and down again with a puzzled look, and teased: "Oh, I didn't expect that the empress of Huanyinfang has reached the age of being a father or a mother. Excuse me, how old are you this year?"

As soon as these words came out, the empress immediately scolded him: "You bastard."

Probing a woman's age has always been a taboo topic, not to mention that Shen Ye's words included the word "old man", which directly ignited the empress's temper. However, as a woman who has been in a high position for many years, it is obvious that she has been well educated and does not know how to curse at all. These three words coming out of her mouth sounded extremely gentle.

So Shen Ye provocatively scratched his ear with his little finger, and then asked casually: "That's it? That's all? You don't even know how to curse?"

Shen Ye's fatal three questions became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The empress, who was so angry that she clenched her fists, took another half step forward, almost sticking to Shen Ye. She gritted her teeth and said, "Very good, very good. In all these years, no one has ever made me so angry like you. It seems that I must teach you a lesson and let you taste the bitterness."

"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it. After all, I have tasted a lot of sweetness, but I don't know what bitterness feels like." Shen Ye said, not to be outdone.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people was becoming more and more tense, the people watching the show nearby also became nervous, especially Ji Ruxue. She was caught between the two people and didn't know what to do for a moment. She couldn't decide whether to help Shen Ye or the empress.

At this time, Zhang Zifan, who was full of envy, saw the two people standing so close to each other, and muttered in a desperate voice:

"They're so close, it looks like they're having an affair."

"Who has an affair with him?"

The empress's eyes were filled with anger when she heard this, but because her vision was almost completely blocked by Shen Ye, she did not see who said this. She immediately blamed Shen Ye and raised her hand to slap Shen Ye in the face, but Shen Ye was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed her hand.

However, the empress's slap was just to vent her anger, and she didn't use any power at all. Shen Ye saw that she suddenly attacked with a lot of strength in her hand, and also made a gesture of pressing back.

However, the two were too close, and when he grabbed the empress's hand and pushed it back, he pressed her hand directly on her body, and what happened was that the position was right on her chest.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, even the air seemed to have stopped flowing. Shen Ye could only hear the empress's breathing becoming more and more rapid. Then, the empress said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Let... go..."

These two words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

"I didn't mean to do it, and I didn't touch it. It was your own hand that touched it, okay?" Shen Ye also lowered his voice and said. He did not let go, but looked down and saw that his hand was pressing on the empress's hand, and the empress's hand was pressing on his chest.

Fortunately, neither side saw this scene. After all, the two were so close to each other that the people standing behind them only saw the two raising their hands. As for what happened next, it was blocked by the two of them. People thought they were competing secretly, which caused a group of people to worry.
