West guest banquet area.

Everyone was talking about it.

"It really is her! I didn't expect that His Majesty would choose the interests over the people's will."

"What I didn't expect was that the date was already set in the marriage certificate."

"The tenth day of next month!"

"Look, General He seems to be wiping his tears..."

"Ah? Let me see..."

“It’s true!”

"Alas, how pitiful are the lovers in the world!"

"The royal family is inherently ruthless. Although General He is a heroine, she is still a woman of flesh and blood."

"Do you think there will be a memorial opposing this matter submitted to His Majesty tomorrow?"

"That's still a guess. This marriage has lost the support of the people and chilled the hearts of the soldiers on the front lines. Even if His Royal Highness used his military merits to protect it, he might not be able to save it."

"Yes, I guess the memorials will pile up like a mountain today!"

"That's good."

"What good?"

"That's good. There's still room for improvement in this matter, and it won't chill the hearts of the soldiers..."

"That's what I said, but in the final analysis, Yan Yunshu has done nothing wrong except being the son of a traitor..."

"What can I say about the son of a guilty minister? Even if I were to talk to the heavens, I still can't avoid this."

"If this marriage is ruined by the opposition of the court officials, I wonder who would dare to marry Yan Yunshu, who is the former fiancée of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I'm afraid I'll end up alone, right?"

A fat and big-eared official from the Ministry of Personnel suddenly came over and laughed.

"If that's the case, I'll kindly take her in as my concubine..."

The words have not yet fallen.

With a swish, a cold sword flew over and landed right on the neck of the official.

Then, a figure appeared in front of him, holding the hilt of the sword firmly in his hand.

Then he pointed the sword at Yuanwailang's throat.

"You, you... who are you..."

Seeing that the person coming has extraordinary skills, he must be a master.

Everyone screamed and immediately stood three feet away from the official to save their lives.

I don't know who is so bold as to carry out an assassination in public.

They all shouted towards the direction where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not far away.

"Assassin, there is an assassin!"

Only then did they realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was no longer in his original location and no one knew where he had gone.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status and is the only distinguished guest who is allowed to bring guards in, so everyone started yelling at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's guards.

But the guards turned a deaf ear.

In doubt, he saw that the man was not afraid at all, and even pressed hard on the official's throat, and did not let go until blood came out.

I suddenly panicked and wanted to run out of the building to seek help.

In the panic, he caught a glimpse of General He in the South Guest Area.

Thinking that General He was a great general who had been on the battlefield and would definitely be able to handle this matter, he quickly asked General He for help.

Unexpectedly, General He looked at the visitor's face and shook his head.

Everyone was shocked and was about to ask why.

Only a familiar and majestic voice was heard.

"I was just passing by when I heard that the official wanted to take a concubine. So I want to ask you, who do you want to take as a concubine?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Only then did I realize why the scene was so strange.

It turned out that the person who had just come was the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

And the one asking the question now is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The fat and big-eared official was so frightened that his eyes went blank. His face turned pale and his whole body was shaking violently.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare my life."

"I'm asking you!" Ying Feng, holding his sword, shouted from the side, "Answer Your Highness."

The official fell directly to the ground.

"Your Highness, please spare me. Those words just now were just jokes and should not be taken seriously. That Yan..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Jinghuai stabbed the guard's sword towards the Yuanwailang's throat.

It finally stopped on the skin of Yuanwailang's throat.

He held his breath and gave the order.

"Bring him to the Dali Temple. No need for interrogation. At the end of the Tianze Daqing celebration at midnight today, he will be executed immediately."

There was no killing during the celebration, and after the celebration, everything returned to normal.

Xu Jinghuai's order meant that he didn't want to spare his life for even a second.

The official was so frightened that he almost fainted.

He begged bitterly.

"Have mercy! Have mercy, Your Highness! I was wrong. I will never say such things again. What I just said about the concubine was just a joke. Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Yingfeng snorted coldly and picked him up from the ground.

"You can tell this to the King of Hell."

He kept crying and shouting as he was forcibly dragged away.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Until the person is completely taken away.

The inconspicuous west guest area in the huge banquet hall still hadn't recovered from the shock.

A long, long time passed again.

Until Xu Jinghuai had already left here.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, their faces pale, not daring to say a word.

Finally, someone bravely and timidly broke the silence.

"What just happened? Why did His Royal Highness suddenly become angry?"

"Are you deaf? That gentleman said that if no one dared to marry Yan Yunshu, he would kindly take her as his concubine. Just as he finished speaking, the swords of the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came over. Now, that gentleman has been taken away."

"So it was because of that sentence? Did His Highness happen to be passing by and hear it?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Fortunately, we didn't say anything excessive."

"The Tianze royal family has always been generous, so royal affairs can be discussed privately. However, the words of that official just now were indeed excessive. Although Yan Yunshu still has uncertainties, she is the future Crown Princess with a marriage certificate. How could she tolerate such humiliating and mocking words?"

"Yeah, he actually said he was a concubine. How could he come up with that?"

"After all, she is the granddaughter of Marquis Wen, and Madam Wen is a descendant of the royal family of Fengyu Nation. With any of these backgrounds, he could wipe out the entire clan with just a whisper."

"I was shocked when I heard him say that in public just now."

"I didn't expect that person to be so bold, and it was so unfortunate that His Highness overheard him."

"He deserves it. He really deserves to die."

……

After the storm, the banquet was still lively.

The East Guest Area had no idea what was going on.

Yan Yunyi was drinking happily with a group of colleagues.

Xu Jingye sat directly opposite Yan Yunshu's empty seat, his brows furrowed and his eyes gloomy.

Xu Jinghuai, who had finished dealing with matters in the west guest area, sat next to Yan Yunshu's empty seat.

He seemed to be holding the wine glass nonchalantly, but in fact he was looking closely towards the lounge.

To these three people, everything seemed to be the same as in the previous life.

But there was a new person, Wei Ruopu, beside Yan Yunyi.

Yan Shuyao is missing from Xu Jingye's side.

This change, to a certain extent, also made their thoughts different from those in their previous life.

With Wei Ruopu by her side, Yan Yunyi felt happier and more joyful. Xu Jingye was still scheming as usual, but this time his scheming was filled with some real love, meaning that he wanted to include himself in the scheme as well.

Where is Xu Jinghuai?
