Return of the Phoenix Lady

It was another beautiful autumn day. On this day, the Prime Minister's Mansion finally welcomed a distinguished guest - the fifth prince Jin Yifeng.

Ying Rui and several others were sent on a mission by Han Xing and have not returned yet. These people are dispensable in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so no one cares about their disappearance.

Princess Xiyu had been recuperating in the mansion for the past few days. Though she was supposed to be recuperating, the scratches on her body had already healed. With the priest around, even a low-level injury wouldn't be a big deal. However, seeing that she hadn't moved much these past few days, just constantly pestering Yingchen and not bothering Han Xing, Han Xing didn't bother to pay her any attention.

Early in the morning, Jin Haoyu came to the door and carefully instructed Han Xing, "Wuyou, I'll take you to see my fifth brother later. We'll take action during the dinner. You must not reveal any clues. My fifth brother is cautious, and if you get too nervous, it will alert him. So try to maintain your usual demeanor, okay? This matter is very serious, and you absolutely cannot mess it up! Got it?"

Han Xing listened with her head down. Finally, she nodded and whispered, "I understand." Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Jin Haoyu's clothes and said, "Brother Jin, what about my mother?"

Jin Haoyu looked at Han Xing, frowned slightly, and coaxed: "Wuyou, as long as this is done, you can meet your mother!"

"But I want to see my mother right now. I miss her so much! So much!" Han Xing looked like he was about to cry, so pitiful!

Jin Haoyu's eyebrows flashed with reluctance. Looking at Han Xing's expression, he thought it was really not appropriate for her to meet Jin Yifeng! He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then finally said, "Okay! How about this! You go meet your fifth brother first. I'll have the servants bring your mother here. When you come back, you can see your mother!"

"Really? That's great! Brother Jin!" Han Xing finally burst into laughter and looked at Jin Haoyu with joy.

"As long as you are happy! Let's go! It's almost time, we should go to meet our fifth brother." Jin Haoyu smiled and brought Han Xing to the gate.

"You are here? Haoyu, how is it?" Shangguan Hongyuan winked at Jin Haoyu.

Jin Haoyu nodded, then glanced at Han Xing who was looking expectant behind him, and then leaned over to Shangguan Hongyuan and whispered a few words.

Shangguan Hongyuan couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He looked at Han Xing several times, thought for a while, and finally said, "Okay!" Then he took out a silver bar from his arms, handed it to the servant beside him, and said, "Send Madam Wu to Qinghe Courtyard."

"Yes!" The servant answered obediently, took the things and went back.

"Wuyou, are you relieved now?" Shangguan Hongyuan smiled kindly at Han Xing, but who knew how annoyed he was with her in his heart.

Han Xing smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."

Just as they were dealing with each other with forced smiles, a shrill voice rang out: "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has arrived!"

Shangguan Hongyuan immediately went to greet him, and now he still had to show the proper courtesy.

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has graced the occasion! I pay my respects to His Royal Highness. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years!" Shangguan Hongyuan said as he knelt down. Jin Yifeng was not polite and accepted the greeting honestly. Shangguan Hongyuan was so angry that his teeth itched, but he had to endure it for now. He would be in trouble later anyway! Let's see how the Fifth Prince would act arrogantly in front of him?

The servants behind him also knelt down and paid their respects to the prince. The only ones standing at the gate were Jin Yifeng, Jin Haoyu and Han Xing.

At this time, Jin Yifeng's cold voice came: "Prime Minister, you are too polite. Please stand up."

Shangguan Hongyuan stood up and said with a smile, "It is truly an honor for me that Your Highness has accepted my invitation. Your Highness, please come in!"

Jin Yifeng didn't hesitate and walked straight in. When he passed Han Xing, he finally stopped, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I..." Han Xing lowered his head and stammered, not knowing what to say.

Upon seeing this, Jin Haoyu immediately stood in front of Han Xing and said with a smile, "Fifth brother, Han is also my friend. I invited him to come here to play. It's windy outside, why don't we go inside and talk? What do you think?"

Jin Yifeng glanced at Jin Haoyu coldly and walked inside.

So, everyone followed his footsteps and entered one after another.

Han Xing followed the crowd slowly, and when he saw that everyone's attention was focused on Jin Yifeng, he flashed and disappeared.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, I still remember that more than ten years have passed since you went abroad to learn skills as a child. Time flies! I am very grateful that Your Highness is willing to accept the invitation today! By the way, where is Yu'er?" Shangguan Hongyuan said with emotion.

"Uncle! Brothers! Yu'er is late!" Speak of the devil. As soon as the words fell, Princess Xiyu appeared with a bright smile and slowly walked towards Yingchen with a cold face.

After Xiyu sat down, she smiled at Jin Yifeng and said, "Fifth brother, Yu'er didn't come out to greet you. You won't be angry with Yu'er, will you?"

"Yu'er, who is your fifth brother? Why would he care about such a trivial matter with you?" Shangguan Hongyuan said with a smile.

Xiyu didn't care and just looked at Jin Yifeng, waiting for his answer.

"No." Jin Yifeng finally spoke out of courtesy. To be honest, he was helpless. If it wasn't for helping his Xing'er and giving them the opportunity to attack, he would not have agreed to such a troublesome invitation.

"By the way, fifth brother, you haven't met Brother Qin yet, right? He is my future prince consort!" Xiyu said as she pulled Yingchen out.

Jin Yifeng glanced at Ying Chen lightly and nodded.

Xiyu doesn't care about his reaction. As long as everyone knows that Brother Qin will be her prince consort, she will be very happy!

After a few more pleasantries, Jin Haoyu suggested, "The weather is nice today, why don't we go to Yiqing Garden? The flowers there are in full bloom, and the scenery is very pleasant!"

No one had any objection, so these bigwigs went to Yiqing Garden.

Over there, I was leisurely enjoying the flowers and scenery, and Han Xing had already returned to Qinghe Courtyard.

The same servant was guarding the door, and there were several secret guards hiding around watching.

Han Xing curled her lips into a smile, and with a wave of her hand, a faintly fragrant powder spread out in the breeze. Soon, a few "bangs!" and "bangs!" could be heard, the sound of heavy objects falling. Great! All solved! The powder she just spread should at least give those secret guards a day and a night of sleep.

Han Xing walked into the courtyard, looked at the diligent servant at the door, and smiled gently, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, young man. Go and get busy! Keep the things for me! I will return them to you in person later."

Although the villain hesitated, he surrendered immediately when he saw Han Xing's smile. He handed over the unlocking strip in his hand and ran out.

Han Xing weighed the things in his hand, put them away, and then walked in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Wu Shuang sitting there in a daze. The chains on his body were gone, but he still looked a little sickly pale. After all, he hadn't seen the sun for many years.

When he saw Han Xing, he was immediately stunned and murmured, "Isn't it Wuyou?"

Although the voice was soft, Han Xing still heard it and answered, "I am Wuyou, the 'Wuyou' in their eyes."

Wu Shuang looked at Han Xing in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.

Han Xing was about to say something when suddenly the window opened and a figure floated in. It was none other than Ying Rui who loved to climb through windows!

"Wuyou!" Wu Shuang shouted immediately, rushing over and holding Ying Rui in his arms.

Ying Rui hugged his mother back, smiled with relief, and said, "Mom, you're safe! I'll take you away from this damn place right away!"

Before Wu Shuang could cry excitedly, Han Xing said, "It's not safe here, Yingrui, take your mother away first. We can talk outside if we have anything to say!"

"Yes, young master!" Ying Rui nodded and left with his mother.

Han Xing walked out of the courtyard, looked at the endless sky, and said lightly: "The sky of the Jin Kingdom is about to change."
