After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

This series of operations shocked even him, who was knowledgeable.

He looked at Flash who had reached the bottom again.

Looking at the feather in Yan Yunshu's hand again, he finally understood.

"So, it was that crow?"

Yan Yunshu nodded, "Exactly."

Xiulian asked from the side, "But how could it be a crow? Even if someone could raise a crow as a pet and tame it, there's no way they could tame it to the point where they could use their wings to poison specific people."

Yingfeng shook his head. "No, crows are actually very intelligent birds. They have strong learning and memory abilities. So, using crows to poison something is not impossible. Moreover, there are already examples of this happening."

As he spoke, he bowed to Yan Yunshu and said, "Miss, please hand over the feather to me. I will investigate in detail to see if there is any connection between it and the sudden and unexpected coma of many secret guards in your courtyard."

Yan Yunshu took a look at the feather in her hand and handed it to Yingfeng.

"I'll leave it to you to investigate that matter. Be sure to do it quickly."

Yingfeng agreed, walked to the window, blew a whistle, and a dark shadow came out of the window.

After giving some instructions, the black shadow disappeared into the night.

Then he turned and looked at Yan Yunshu.

He looked at Flash, who had been lying on the ground all night, and asked, "What are you going to do with him, girl? Are you going to let him go?"

"No..." Yan Yunshu leaned over and looked at Ji Dian, holding the ghostly light bead in her palm.

He continued, "Even if he was coerced into letting the wolf into the house, I was able to escape unharmed. However, he ultimately betrayed his master. Even though I'll spare his life, I won't let him go."

"Is that right?"

Shadowwind pointed at Flash and said, "Use him to test the medicine?"

"Ah."

Yan Yunshu nodded affirmatively.

Xiulian asked puzzledly, "What if he wants to harm the girl again?"

"No..." Yan Yunshu looked at the cakes on the table and chuckled, "He should now understand who has the upper hand over his weak spot."

Xiulian was naturally still confused and wanted to ask more questions.

Yan Yunshu sat down, supporting her forehead, and didn't want to say anything more.

So sleepy, so tired.

The sleepiness she had felt these past few days had not subsided, but had become even worse. Her forehead felt a little hot.

Everything in front of her began to become more hazy and blurred after she forced herself to stay awake and finally relaxed with peace of mind.

She squinted her eyes and murmured, "Yingfeng, will I be able to sleep peacefully now?"

Yingfeng was terrified and fell to his knees with a thud.

"I am guilty, but I will do my utmost to protect the girl."

Yan Yunshu looked at his kneeling figure through her leaden eyelids and sighed.

"Things are unpredictable, who knows."

After a while, she just sat there and fell asleep.

Xiulian looked at her with pity, and couldn't bear to disturb her, so she could only put a coat on her and put a pillow next to her cheek.

After everything was settled, he finally looked at Yingfeng.

There was a look of blame in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

"Your Excellency may not know that the young lady has been in a state of low energy and extremely sleepy for a while now. She has no interest in anything, no matter how important it is. Normally, she would avoid anything that requires her brainpower. But the capital has been in such chaos these past few days, with all kinds of people coming together. The young lady was really worried, so she arranged many things on her own. Xiulian didn't even know about many of them. That's why the young lady was able to escape danger before your Excellency arrived tonight. If the young lady hadn't prepared for the worst and given more thought and planning, I'm afraid that when your Excellency came here again today, what he would have seen would have been the corpses of the young lady and the servants, or an empty courtyard."

Xiulian stopped talking here, and Yingfeng's face turned red and white.

I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't dare to think about it, he really didn't dare to think about it.

What would His Majesty do if anything really happened to Yan Yunshu?

That was not the scene where the heaven and earth shook because of the emperor's anger, nor was it the overwhelming anger that could not be reduced even if the whole world was slaughtered!

It could only be that anger that was beyond his imagination and broke through the boundaries of time and space!

Thinking of this, Yingfeng shuddered.

He did not dare to slack off at all, and squatted by the door himself, looking around vigilantly, not missing any movement.

The night is dark.

The moonlight is like water.

Yan Yunshu's hand, which was supporting her cheek, finally slowly dropped down as she fell into a deep sleep. She leaned on the soft pillow on the table and rubbed it.

The sleep was not peaceful.

There was tension, uneasiness, and confusion between his brows, as well as the dream he had just had.

Xiulian didn't dare to disturb her, but she was worried that she would not sleep well.

So he simply put the chair she was sitting on and the recliner side by side, and then carefully held Yan Yunshu and slowly moved her from the chair to the recliner.

Then, gently cover her with the silk quilt.

After everything was settled, she was about to dim the lights. Just as she moved the wick, she saw Yan Yunshu's brows frowned even tighter and her whole body suddenly curled up into a ball.

She quickly turned the lights up to the same brightness as before.

Looking at Yan Yunshu again, her brows relaxed a little. She breathed a sigh of relief, walked aside, and lit some calming incense.

Soon, the room was filled with a faint fragrance.

A faint fragrance fills the air, and Yan Yunshu is in the dream.

I saw the former prime minister's residence and Xu Jinghuai again.

I saw the endless sea of swords and blood.

She was dressed in red, standing on the battlefield, looking back at him with a resolute smile.

"Xu Jinghuai, tell me, do people have an afterlife? If so..."

"Would you still like to meet me..."

……

Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

Xu Jinghuai, who was leaning over the desk, suddenly woke up from a short nap.

The eunuch said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the generals and counselors who will attack Maple Forest City are waiting outside the palace."

Xu Jinghuai rubbed his aching temples.

"Call them into the temple."

Next to the sand table in the main hall.

Military advisors and counselors all gave advice.

"Your Majesty has only recently ascended the throne, and Maple Forest City is filled with rebels. This journey is dangerous. Even if Your Majesty deems it appropriate, it is not appropriate for you to personally lead an expedition against Maple Forest City."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although Maple Forest City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is not an unsolvable mystery. I hereby request your permission to lead the army to attack Maple Forest City."

The person speaking at this time was Yan Yunshu's uncle, General Wenxuan Mingwen.

He had not participated in the battle with Hansha at the border due to illness, and had always felt regretful about it. Now that Fenglin City was being attacked, he had to bear the brunt of the fight and had no choice but to take on the responsibility.

Xu Jinghuai looked at Fenglin City in the center of the sand table with a frown on his face.

He thought about what he had promised his father.

He wanted to spare Xu Jingye's life and give him a decent ending, but swords and knives were merciless on the battlefield. If the soldiers were bloodthirsty, even he could not stop them.

What’s more, it’s General Wen.

He personally attacked Fenglin City, which was naturally the best outcome.

Even if it is dangerous, we will be able to resolve it quickly and maximize the guarantee of our promise to my father.

Can……

Now that his marriage to Yan Yunshu is imminent, the Ministry of Rites has not only completed all the preliminary preparations, but has even prepared the ceremony for the empress's enthronement.

How could he, at this moment, give up everything he had waited so long for and go out to fight again?

He pondered for a moment and nodded to Wen Xuanming.

"Then General Wen will lead the army to attack Maple Forest City."
