Return of the Phoenix Lady

After many days of travel, Han Xing and his group finally arrived in Jindu without any obstructions.

"Xing'er, you guys go to Fengyun Tower to rest first. I'll go to the palace to inquire about the situation, make some arrangements, and then take you in. How about that?" Jin Yifeng said to Han Xing.

"Well, go ahead! Come back early!" Han Xing smiled and nodded in reply.

After seeing Jin Yifeng off, Han Xing and the others were warmly received by the waiter and stayed in Fengyun Tower. They also listened to some gossip. After all, this was the capital, and all the news came from here. Presumably, the news here would be more accurate!

I just sat in the lobby for a while, and here comes the news!

A man a few tables away from Han Xing and the others whispered, "The princess is getting married soon. Did you know? Actually, the prince consort doesn't want to marry the princess at all!"

Ying Rui was immediately amused when he heard this, looking at Han Xing smugly, his eyes seemed to say: See, see! I told you my brother was forced into it! Right?

"That's right! Last time the princess took her husband out shopping, I secretly saw the husband. He had a cold face and didn't pay much attention to the princess!" another man replied in a low voice.

"This prince consort is so ungrateful! Don't you think that the princess of our Jin Kingdom is not worthy of a commoner like him? It's his blessing to be favored by our princess! And he doesn't want to accept it!" The third man interrupted with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"What do you know? I'll tell you in secret, my niece is a maid in the palace, and she's lucky enough to serve the princess. She often sees the handsome prince consort! Staring into the sky in a daze, I guess! Since the prince consort doesn't like the beautiful princess, he must have a lover in his heart! Your Highness the princess is really something, there are so many good men in the world, why does she fall for someone who is already taken?" A woman at the same table said mysteriously to the three of them.

After she finished speaking, after everyone had digested it, she spoke again: "I also heard about this! This..." Before the woman finished speaking, she was interrupted by the man next to her: "Shh! Stop talking, look! Who's here!" The woman glanced over and immediately fell silent, and started to eat obediently.

Han Xing frowned. She hadn't heard enough yet! Who on earth had come to spoil her fun?

He tilted his head slightly and looked over! Hey! They were truly destined to meet! They'd met again... But, in their minds, he seemed to be "dead" already...

As Han Xing looked over, Jin Haoyu, who had just walked in to find a seat, noticed him. There was nothing he could do because the people at their table were too eye-catching. When Jin Haoyu saw Han Xing at first glance, he thought it was an illusion caused by missing her too much, but when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he was still there. Jin Haoyu lost his composure and walked towards Han Xing's table uncontrollably, bumping into several people in a row.

Shangguan Lan'er, who had just entered, saw Jin Haoyu's abnormality as soon as she entered the room. She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly grabbed Jin Haoyu's sleeve, and said worriedly: "Brother Haoyu! What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Seeing that Jin Haoyu's eyes were fixed on a certain place, she couldn't help but look over, "Ah!" A scream came out of her mouth, and she was stunned there.

Soon, Ouyang Qianrong and the Xu brothers, who had parked their carriages, walked in. Seeing the two men's stunned expressions, they hurried over to them and asked worriedly, "Brother Haoyu! Lan'er, what happened to you?"

Shangguan Lan'er woke up as if from a dream, stretched out her trembling hand and pointed forward. The three people looked at her and were also stunned. Isn't this... Xinghan who should have been dead?

Seeing that they were all stunned, Han Xing had no choice but to walk over in person. Looking at Jin Haoyu, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Jin, long time no see."

This sound was like thunder, ringing in the ears of several people. Ouyang Qianrong was even more exaggerated. After shouting, she drew the sword at her waist and pointed at Han Xing, saying: "You...you...who are you? You dare to pretend to be Xinghan to approach Brother Haoyu!"

Han Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not dead."

Jin Haoyu suddenly moved, reached out and held Han Xing's small hand, and said, "That's great! Brother Han, you're not dead! That's great!"

Han Xing pulled his hand away without leaving a trace and said to the others, "Don't stand there like an idiot. Sit down and talk!"

"Okay!" Jin Haoyu led the four people to sit at the table next to Han Xing.

Before he even had time to warm up on the bench, Jin Haoyu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Han, what's going on? Tell me now! You don't know, I've been very sad since I heard about your accident!"

"I'm sorry to have worried you, big brother. Actually, I was only seriously injured at the time, and the school mistakenly thought I was dead, so they announced a false news. Later, my brother took me back, and I have been recuperating from my injuries. Only now have I almost recovered. My brother wanted me to relax, so he took me and these friends to travel to the five countries, but I don't know how, my brother was favored by the princess and was forced to become her consort. So, I have to save my brother!" Han Xing made up the story at the beginning, but spoke with deep emotion at the end. Thinking that Jin Haoyu was the third prince of the Jin Kingdom, he would definitely know about this matter. It would be better to speak to him directly, and maybe he could get his help.

Seeing that Han Xing was so sincere to him and even told him that she wanted to go to the palace to save the prince consort, Jin Haoyu must have trusted him very much, and he couldn't let Xinghan down!

"Brother Han, I will definitely help you persuade my imperial sister about this matter! But my imperial sister is a little spoiled and willful, and my father loves her very much, so I don't know if you can succeed." Jin Haoyu said helplessly.

"It's okay. It's enough that Brother Jin has this intention." Han Xing smiled faintly and answered politely.

"But brother Han, you can't be too impulsive. You can't ignore your own safety just to save your brother, okay?" Jin Haoyu said a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, big brother. I know what I'm doing." Han Xing nodded.

After caring about Han Xing, Jin Haoyu turned his attention to the people sitting at the same table with Han Xing. Seeing that each of them looked different, he felt the urge to make friends with them. He said to Han Xing, "Brother Han, who are these people?"

Han Xingling's eyes turned and he said, "They are my friends. This one is Liu Rui, this one is his brother Liu Jue, that one is Rui's fiancée Xiaorou, and that one is Jue's fiancée Xiaoye."

Jin Haoyu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Nice to meet you, everyone!"

"You're welcome." Ying Rui replied with an elegant smile.

Ouyang Qianrong, standing by, felt uneasy the moment she saw Mei Ye. There was actually such a beautiful woman in the world! She kept her eyes on Jin Haoyu, fearing that the vixen-like woman would win his heart. She didn't even listen carefully to Han Xing's introduction, and said to Mei Ye in a sarcastic tone, "I'm Ouyang Qianrong, and this girl is Xiao Ye? Why don't you tell me your real name? Or is there something you're hiding?"

Mei Ye raised an eyebrow. She didn't provoke anyone else, but others came to provoke her, haha! Well, I've been bored these days, so I'll just play with this little girl.

"Miss Ouyang, you're worrying too much. Xiaoye is just afraid that if I tell my real name, my fiancé will be busy and jealous! Haha!" Mei Ye covered her mouth and chuckled, suddenly looking charming.

Then he looked at Ouyang Qianrong and said with a sweet smile, "Unlike some people, even if they gave their names, no one would care."

"You! What nonsense are you talking about? I am a daughter worth a lot of gold, how can I compare to a charming woman like you?" Ouyang Qianrong's pretty face flushed, but she still said arrogantly.

"Haha! Naturally I can't compare to a rich girl, but I didn't expect that the rich girl from the Jin Kingdom is so uneducated. It's really something I've seen." Mei Ye replied calmly.

"You...you are so bold! Look at the sword!" Ouyang Qianrong suddenly attacked Mei Ye.

Mei Ye dodged calmly, looking at the young lady's cultivation, his eyes were full of disdain, and with a light twist of his slender fingers, Ouyang Qianrong's sword was firmly held in Mei Ye's hand.

"You...let me go!" Ouyang Qianrong was angry, but helpless.

"You've made your move, it's my turn." Mei Ye chuckled, pulled the sword from Ouyang Qianrong's hand, held it in his hand, and then hit her with the back of the sword. She screamed in pain.

Xu Bowu, who felt sorry for Ouyang Qianrong, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and hurried over to help Ouyang Qianrong block the attack.

Mei Ye decided to quit while he was ahead, threw the sword back, and sat back next to Han Xing.

Han Xing only said to Jin Haoyu: "It's just a small fight, big brother won't mind it!"

"No, it's Qianrong's fault. Miss Xiaoye is right to teach her a lesson!" Jin Haoyu nodded.

"No! Brother Haoyu! How can you just let her go like this? How could you?" Ouyang Qianrong said fiercely and unconvinced.

"If you hadn't spoken hurtfully first and then attacked them, would they have fought with you?" Jin Haoyu scolded coldly.

"Hmph!" Ouyang Qianrong stopped talking and sat aside in a rage, glaring at Mei Ye fiercely.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. By the way, Brother Han, where do you live now? If there is no place, why not stay at my eldest brother's house temporarily?" Jin Haoyu said politely.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother. We can live here." Han Xing replied.

After eating and drinking, Jin Haoyu left with his men. Before leaving, Ouyang Qianrong glared at Mei Ye fiercely.
