In the courtyard of Prince Jin's mansion, after Feng Zhaoyun had left for a while, Bai Jinzhi looked at Bai Mohan, "Are you here just for Her Highness the Crown Princess?"

Bai Mohan paused as he picked up the teacup. "Of course, I've already said it, I just want to marry her."

After hearing this, Bai Jinzhi's eyes dimmed. He then picked up the book on the table, but for a long time he just looked at that page, "Did I really... know her before?"

After hearing this, Bai Mohan glanced at Bai Jinzhi and said, "Royal brother, even if she knew him, she has already abandoned you and got engaged to Nangong Shang. Are you willing to enter the palace and become a concubine?"

After hearing this, Bai Jinzhi put down the book in his hand. Yes, although he did have some special feelings for her these days, what he wanted was a lifelong relationship with her, not sharing it with others.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinzhi looked at Bai Mohan and said, "You are usually very arrogant. I don't know why you want to enter the Shang Kingdom's Princess House and be willing to be a concubine. If you have other motives, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

Bai Mohan's lips curled slightly, "Who said I want to be a concubine?"

As soon as Bai Jin heard it, he knew what he was thinking. Although he had forgotten what happened before, he had heard some things about his royal brother during his time in Yan Kingdom. He knew Bai Mohan too well, and it was impossible for him to change.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinzhi said calmly, "Don't continue to pester Her Highness the Princess."

Bai Mohan's face turned slightly cold as he stood up. "My brother, you don't need to worry about my affairs! Just remember what you said before and don't fall in love with her again!"

After Bai Mohan finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Bai Jinzhi sitting alone in the yard.

As soon as he reached the palace gate, he saw Feng Zhaoyun and the palace carriage had just left a short distance. Bai Mohan asked his personal attendant, "How is Zhuo Yueli?"

The attendant saluted and said, "Just got the news, Zhuo Yueli has woken up!"

Bai Mohan sneered, "You woke up quickly. Block the news and don't let my brother know about this!"

The guards beside Bai Mohan looked embarrassed, "The Black Hawk beside the eldest prince is very capable, your subordinates..."

Bai Mo looked at his personal guard with cold eyes, which made the guard break out in a cold sweat and kneel down quickly.

Bai Mohan said coldly, "Since you know it's an obstacle, why don't you get rid of it!"

The guard knelt on one knee, sweating profusely, "Yes...", that Black Hawk was a powerful martial artist, how could he and his men be his opponents...

Bai Mohan glanced coldly at the kneeling servant, "Return home!"

Royal Palace

In the main hall of the imperial palace, Zhuo Yueli sat palely on her seat. Beside her was Zhuo Xi'an, who had just been taken away from Feng Zhaoyun by Bai Xiyue. If Feng Zhaoyun's eyes could kill when she entered, she would have died countless times...

Before entering, Feng Zhaoyun warned the people around him that the Western Region was best at using poison, so they should be very careful when entering.

Feng Zhaoyun entered the hall and walked towards the Queen of Yan Kingdom. Without even glancing at Zhuo Yueli and her brother, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, what is the matter that Your Majesty summoned me?"

The Queen of Yan State smiled and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat first."

Feng Zhaoyun said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The eunuch brought a chair, and Feng Zhaoyun sat across from Zhuo Yueli and Zhuo Xi'an. At this moment, Feng Zhaoyun suddenly looked at Zhuo Yueli, pretending to be surprised, "Your Highness Zhuo, why are you here? Are you feeling better?"

Zhuo Yueli had one ear bandaged at this time, with some blood seeping out of the cloth. Due to excessive blood loss, her face was pale, and she wished she could cut Feng Zhaoyun into pieces!

Zhuo Yueli was very angry when she saw her look. She slammed the handle of the chair, drew the sword at her side, and walked quickly towards Feng Zhaoyun.

Feng Zhaoyun smiled calmly. Jiuyi and Xiao Siying stepped forward and blocked Zhuo Yueli's way. Jiuyi's eyes were fierce. "Your Highness Zhuo, if you hurt Her Highness the Crown Princess today, it won't be as simple as you dying alone."

A group of guards suddenly rushed out of the hall and blocked both sides.

Zhuo Yueli only had one personal attendant by her side at this moment. The people brought from the Western Regions were taken to the envoy's residence by that idiot Zhuo Xi'an this morning and were all killed by Feng Zhaoyun. By now, there were only a few of their people left.

Zhuo Yueli suppressed her anger, turned around and walked towards the main hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please write a letter for me, stating the details of Feng Zhaoyun's assassination attempt on my life. When I return, I will fight him to the death with the Shang Kingdom!"

Feng Zhaoyun asked doubtfully, "Your Highness Zhuo, I'm not good at archery. You helped me lift the bow, causing my shot to deviate from my range, and therefore I accidentally injured you. Everyone in the hall can testify to this. How can you now blame me for assassinating you?"

Feng Zhaoyun looked at Zhuo Yueli with a fierce look in his eyes. There was no trace of the timidity he had shown in the hall that day. If he was not afraid of starting a war, why would he put on this show?

He was attending the banquet on behalf of the Shang Kingdom, and Zhuo Yueli openly humiliated the Shang Kingdom's princess. If he took action directly, it would be a pretext for starting a war in the Western Regions, and the people would suffer greatly from the war.

In order to maintain the face of Shang State, he had no choice but to put on a show. It didn't matter whether he was a fool or not, as long as he could deal with this guy.

After the banquet that day, the Empress had already realized Feng Zhaoyun had acted on purpose, and she didn't want to get too involved in their affairs. So she said, "Your Highness Zhuo, please calm down. It was exactly as Your Highness the Crown Princess said. I will write down the truth and send it to your mother."

Zhuo Xian stood up angrily, pointing at the Queen of Yan without any regard for etiquette, "Are you, Yan Kingdom, shielding this thief? Today, she killed all my guards at the gate of the envoy's residence, and then assassinated my sister, and you are still shielding her!"

The eunuch beside the empress shouted angrily, "How dare you! Your Highness Zhuo Xian, please be mindful of your words and actions!"

The Queen said nothing. Someone had already reported this matter. Zhuo Xi'an led his men to break into the palace and kill people, but was counterattacked by Shang Guo. This was a very stupid and shameful act, and they still had the nerve to bring it up...

Xiao Siying laughed sarcastically and said, "Everyone knows that you led people to massacre the envoys and openly threatened to kill the Shang Kingdom's princess. You should be thankful that the Shang Kingdom didn't seek retribution from you! How dare you bring this up!"

Zhuo Xi'an pointed at Xiao Siying angrily: "You!"

At this time, Zhuo Yueli looked at the Queen at the top of the table. Seeing that she did not speak to help her, she thought for a moment, bowed and said, "The Queen only needs to write a document, stating all of Feng Zhaoyun's crimes. When you return, the Queen will make her own judgment!"

The Queen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highnesses. I will write the document and write it truthfully."

Zhuo Yueli knew that she was powerless to fight against Feng Zhaoyun. The Queen of Yan Kingdom obviously would not help her, and now she had no way to deal with Feng Zhaoyun.

I have already lost an ear, and I am afraid that I will never be able to become the king. A king cannot be disfigured. A princess without power will be at the mercy of others. I must kill Feng Zhaoyun to relieve the hatred in my heart!

Seeing that the matter was going nowhere and Zhuo Yueli looked like she was going to let it go, Zhuo Xi'an stepped forward anxiously and said, "Are we just going to let her go like this?"

Zhuo Yueli glared at her idiotic brother and said helplessly, "Go back, we have a long way to go!"

For now, all he had to do was hold Feng Zhaoyun back. Thinking of this, Zhuo Yueli suddenly remembered someone, Feng Yaoyu!
