The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

Inside the Zhan Wang Mansion, the atmosphere today was unusually solemn. When the moonlight shone through the delicate window lattices and sprinkled on the bluestone floor, it formed mottled light and shadows. Zhan Wang Yan Lingxiao's subordinates, who were usually either cool or majestic, seemed to be particularly focused at this moment, and their eyes revealed a hint of tension and worry.

Yan Lingxiao, the name of the War King, is feared by all. But every full moon night, he will suffer from the poison. When the poison takes effect, he forgets himself and the people around him. He has no emotions, only endless killing. Many people do not know this secret. In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Lingxiao is a beast who eats human flesh raw, but they dare not talk to him because of his deterrent power. His power will become extremely powerful at that moment, and no one can resist him. Therefore, every time at this time, the atmosphere in the palace will become extremely tense.

However, even though Yan Lingxiao became extremely powerful when the poison took effect, his men never showed any fear towards him. They knew that this War King was not only their leader, but also their friend and brother. They were willing to sacrifice everything for him, even their lives.

Yan Lingxiao was also afraid that he would hurt his own people when the poison took effect, so he set up a secret room in the mansion that only he could enter. Every time the poison took effect, he would hide in the secret room.

Today is the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the full moon is high in the sky, and the silver light shines all over the earth. In the Zhan Wang Mansion, there is a solemn silence. As soon as night fell, Zhan Wang Yan Lingxiao locked himself in a secret room, isolating himself from the outside world.

The door of the secret room was tightly closed, like an invisible barrier, isolating Yan Lingxiao from the outside world. His men gathered anxiously outside the door, exchanging worried glances, but no one dared to disturb Yan Lingxiao in the secret room.

The night wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. The moonlight sprinkled on the eaves of the palace, casting mottled shadows. The men stood silently in the moonlight, their shadows stretched long on the ground, as if carrying their endless worries and expectations.

In the secret room, Yan Lingxiao sat quietly on a wooden chair, his eyes deep and determined. He knew that he would face a huge challenge on this full moon night.

Time passed slowly, and the men waited anxiously outside the door. Their hearts were filled with worry and trust for Yan Lingxiao, and they knew that no matter what happened, they would firmly support him and accompany him through this difficult time.

In the secret room, Yan Lingxiao was also silently fighting the poison. Beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, but his eyes remained firm. He closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner fluctuations. He wanted to stay calm and sober.

Since Feng Yanan saw those letters today, she has been filled with mixed emotions, including surprise, uneasiness, and an indescribable anxiety. Those letters seemed like invisible chains that bound her tightly and made her unable to let go.

Her mind was wandering and her eyes were empty, as if she had lost focus.

As time went by, night fell. Feng Yanan suddenly thought of Yan Lingxiao, the War King who was brave and fearless on the battlefield and deep and introverted in the palace. She felt an inexplicable impulse and decided to go to the War King's Palace in person to find out. So, she had dinner early and took Xiaohong with her on the road to the War King's Palace.

In the night, the lights in Prince Zhan's Mansion are brightly lit, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling.

Feng Yanan stepped into the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion and immediately noticed the unusual atmosphere. The guards of the mansion were usually well-trained and calm, but tonight they could not hide their nervousness and anxiety. This made her wonder, did something big happen in the mansion?

She led Xiaohong through the courtyard and walked towards the main hall. On the way, she met Yan Lingxiao's subordinate Ming Liu. Ming Liu was usually a straightforward person, but tonight he seemed to be hesitant, his eyes flickering, and he was obviously worried.

Feng Yanan stopped, stepped forward, and asked softly, "Ming Liu, what's wrong? You all look very nervous. Did something happen?" Ming Liu hesitated for a moment, looked around, as if afraid of being heard. He lowered his voice and said, "Miss Feng, actually...actually the prince..."

"What's wrong with the prince?" Feng Yanan became even more curious when she saw him hesitating.

Ming Liu hesitated for a moment, as if he was weighing whether to tell Feng Yanan. He didn't want Feng Yanan to know that the prince was poisoned and that the poison broke out on a full-moon night, because it involved the secrets of the palace and the safety of the prince. But Feng Yanan was the prince's fiancée, and he couldn't bear to see her worried and unaware.

Under Feng Yanan's patient questioning and sincere gaze, Ming Liu finally gave in. He whispered, "Miss Feng, the prince...he was poisoned by a poison called Moon Illusion, and it took effect on a full moon night. Everyone in the palace knows about this, but the prince has ordered that it must not be spread. We are all very worried about the prince's safety, but we dare not speak out."

Feng Yanan's heart tightened when she heard this. She didn't expect Yan Lingxiao to be poisoned, and the poison took effect on a full moon night. Why didn't this guy ever mention it to her? Was he afraid that she would betray him? Or was he afraid that she would worry about him?
