The brother and sister left the palace and rode back to the princess's residence.

"Sister, Princess Mingde was crippled by you. With her spoiled and arrogant personality, she will definitely hold a grudge against us." Chu Wenzhao said worriedly.

Long Shiyu's grandfather is the Duke of Zhenguo, and she is a disciple of the Qingjian Sect with a flamboyant personality. Now that her sister has broken two of her fingers, she must be holding a grudge.

"Zhao'er! Our Chu family has become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of certain people. Even if we keep a low profile, what is supposed to happen will still happen." Chu Feiyan felt that there were some things he needed to know.

"My father and mother's death in battle was not that simple, and the emperor appointed me as the general of the state at this time, which is to push me to the cusp of the storm."

Chu Wenzhao was shocked when he heard this. "Sister, are you saying that the death of our father and mother is related to the emperor? Are the royal family going to get rid of our Chu family?"

"It hasn't come to that point yet, but we have to take precautions before it happens." The younger brother was still young, so Chu Feiyan did not make the matter sound so serious. He first analyzed the current situation in the court with him so that he could be mentally prepared.

“After the news of the disappearance of the Dragon Hidden Order leaked out, the princes in the court and the princes of various places were ready to make a move, and they all set their sights on the dragon chair.

The forces behind Prince Rui, Princess Mingde, and Prince Qing are stronger than the Crown Prince. Although Prince An is in a weak position, it does not mean that he has no ambitions. If any of them finds the Dragon Hidden Order, they will definitely replace the Crown Prince and even compete for the throne of the world."

"Sister, if the royal family is in chaos and the political situation is turbulent, Northern Qi may take the opportunity to send troops to invade, and Longyuan Kingdom will be in danger!" Chu Wenzhao's face became tense.

"This is why the emperor, although he doubts us, has to make use of our Weiguo Mansion. The emperor is in poor health, and the drama of competing for the throne will intensify. The emperor asked us to support the crown prince, and naturally I became a stumbling block for those princes and princesses. Today, Long Shiyu couldn't wait to jump out, which shows that the emperor's expectations have been met." Chu Feiyan analyzed to him.

"This emperor is so abominable. I thought he was a good person." Chu Wenzhao clenched his fists angrily.

"But everything has its pros and cons. Since the emperor has appointed me as the general who assists the country, we will make good use of this card. You don't have to worry too much. I have already issued a notice to the martial arts world to re-activate my mother's Yueying Pavilion. No matter who sits on that position in the end, if they dare to touch our Chu family, we will overthrow the Long family's empire."

There was a gleam of hatred in Chu Feiyan's eyes.

In her previous life, the Chu family was wiped out because of her fault. She retreated at the right time and voluntarily gave up her military power. She announced that the Weiguo Mansion would no longer be involved in the affairs of the court on the grounds that her grandfather was old and sick and her brother was young. She thought that this would allow her to protect herself, but the result was the opposite of what she wanted. That was the root cause that brought the Chu family into disaster.

"Sister, I..." Chu Wenzhao looked much more mature at this moment.

My sister actually mentioned that she wanted to rebel. Does the royal family really have no room for their Chu family?

The brother and sister sat and chatted for a while. Chu Feiyan was afraid that her grandfather would worry, so she let her brother go back to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion first.

Xia An found a bottle of ointment and came in to help her apply it on the wound.

"Princess, we have made an enemy of Princess Mingde. I'm afraid the Duke of Zhenguo and Qingjian Villa will not let this go."

"I just want them to jump out!" These so-called righteous martial arts sects are nothing but hypocritical!

She was actually interested in the leader of the Blood Evil Sect.

It was just rumored that the man's whereabouts were mysterious, and no one had ever seen what he looked like? Even the owner of Qingjian Villa invited him to participate in the martial arts conference, but he didn't give him face. How difficult it would be for her to meet him!

After Xia An went out, she called out from inside the house, "Xiao Hei!"

A dark bird head popped out from the top of the cabinet. "What's up?"

"Please do me a favor! I want to meet the leader of the Blood Evil Sect. Can you help me find him?" This little creature has great magical powers. It should not be difficult for it to find a mortal.

"Don't look for him anymore! Everything is destined by God. You will see him when the time comes." After the crow said this, it retracted its head.

Chu Feiyan: “…” It felt like this broken bird was talking in a mysterious way.

What do you mean you will see him naturally when the time comes? Isn't that nonsense?

If she had to wait for fate to decide before she could see him, then how long would she have to wait? Then why did she still pray for it?

Forget it! Since this little thing is unwilling to help, there is no need to force it, and she does not have to rely on the Blood Demon Sect.

She stood up, closed the door, and sat on the bed to practice. She felt that her internal strength had increased a lot, so she couldn't slack off.

The next day, in the court hall.

Princess Mingde's party, headed by the Duke of Zhenguo, reported Chu Feiyan in the palace.

They said that she was cruel by nature and had crippled a princess of a country. She had no respect for hierarchy and laws, and relied on her power to look down on royal family members. She was not worthy of the position of general of the auxiliary country, and they demanded that the emperor remove her from her official position.

But there were also people who disliked the Duke of Zhenguo, such as the supporters of Prince Rui and Prince Qing, who came out to refute.

The Minister of Revenue, the uncle of Prince Qing, stepped out and said, "Duke Zhenguo, at the palace banquet yesterday, almost all the gentlemen were present. The two princesses signed a life and death agreement in front of Your Majesty, saying that neither of them would be held accountable for their lives.

There are so many people watching at the palace banquet, may I ask the Duke of Zhenguo! How come Princess Min'an has no respect for the rules of respect and order?"

Prime Minister Du, the grandfather of Prince Rui, also said, "Duke Zhenguo, you have to find a legitimate reason to frame someone! Everyone saw what happened in the competition yesterday. The winner was already decided. Princess Mingde couldn't stand losing, so she used a hidden weapon to hurt others. That's why Princess Min'an fought back and got injured. Why are you being aggressive now?"

It wasn't that they wanted to speak well of Chu Feiyan, they just wanted to make things difficult for the Duke of Zhenguo and suppress Long Shiyu's party.

Chu Feiyan stood there without saying a word, allowing the officials to argue, just waiting for what the emperor would say.

But the emperor also wanted to see her explanation, so he did not speak for a long time.

Old fox!

Chu Feiyan cursed inwardly, walked up to the Duke of Zhenguo and said, "Duke of Zhenguo, I see that you are not only old and dim-sighted, but you also have dementia. You even forgot the words of the Lord, don't joke?"

"Chu Feiyan, what do you mean? You actually insulted my countryman in front of His Majesty? Do you have any respect for the law?"

The Duke of Zhenguo was seventy years old and a veteran of three dynasties. He had made many military achievements when he was young, and the emperor respected him a lot. This was the first time he was called an idiot in person, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

But he couldn't lose his temper in front of the emperor, so he glared at her with his cloudy eyes.

"What do you mean? This princess would like to ask you a few questions. Your Majesty was present at the martial arts competition yesterday, and he has already made the decision on who is right and who is wrong. Yet you are here grumbling and chattering non-stop today. Are you questioning His Majesty's will? How about letting you, the Duke of Zhenguo, have the final say in the world of Longyuan Kingdom?" Chu Feiyan questioned him.

She had long disliked this old man.

"Chu Feiyan... you are simply unreasonable!" The Duke of Zhenguo was so angry that he trembled all over and knelt down in front of the emperor. "Your Majesty, I have no doubt about your intentions. It is Chu Feiyan who slandered me. You have to make the decision for me!"

"That's enough!" The emperor finally spoke, "Yesterday the two princesses did sign a life-and-death agreement. We won't pursue the matter any further."
