Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

He knew who sent the men in black, but no one had informed him of this! Lord Lu looked at Lu Tian'er with heartache, his face full of helplessness.

The men in black ignored Lord Lu and glared fiercely at Zhai Yun: "How much longer? Has Master Ke been brought?"

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun, waiting for her to speak. Zhai Yun looked at them with a mocking gaze: "You've taken Lord Lu's daughter hostage. Lord Lu is here. You can make your demands to him."

Zhai Yun's implication was that they had blackmailed the wrong person.

Seeing that he had been tricked, the man in black became furious and threatened Feng Chenyi: "Prince Rui, even tigers don't eat their cubs. Do you really not want your concubine and child anymore?"

The man in black tightened the sword pressed against Lu Tian'er's neck slightly, instantly drawing blood. Pain shot through her neck, and Lu Tian'er screamed in terror, "Help! I don't want to die! Father, save me! Please save your daughter!"

Lord Lu was panicked and pleaded with Feng Chenyi, "Your Highness, Tian'er is carrying your child! You can't just stand by and watch them get hurt! Your Highness! Please release Master Ke! You can't afford to offend Master Ke!"

Lu Tian'er's terrified cries and Lord Lu's earnest admonitions made it impossible for Feng Chenyi to remain uninvolved. People in the northern suburban military camp were already gossiping that Prince Rui was cold-blooded and ruthless, not even caring about his own concubine and child!

Zhai Yun also knew that she couldn't abandon Lu Tian'er at this time, because in the eyes of the outside world, Lu Tian'er was pregnant with Feng Chenyi's child.

Feng Chenyi slowly stood up. He looked at Lord Lu with indifference and detachment in his eyes, a detachment that seemed to be a resolute attempt to draw a line between them!

Suddenly realizing what Feng Chenyi wanted to do, Zhai Yun persuaded him to stop. Even if she only had one breath left, Zhai Yun would do her best. Zhai Yun slowly walked down the steps in front of the Dali Temple.

When those people saw Zhai Yun come down, they were all frightened and retreated. Feng Chenyi followed behind Zhai Yun, looking at Lu Tian'er with pity in his eyes: "Consort Tian, ​​you should understand me. The arrow is on the string. It's either them or me who will die. If we release Master Ke now, what will the Emperor think of me? What will the world think of me? Will I still have a place in this world after this? I still won't be able to protect you."

Feng Chenyi spoke earnestly, and it was indeed the truth. When Consort Tian and Lord Lu heard Feng Chenyi say dejectedly, "I really have no choice, and I don't want to die!"

When the men in black saw that Feng Chenyi was determined not to save Consort Tian, ​​they began to panic. If Consort Tian could not threaten Prince Rui, then they would not be able to rescue Master Ke.

The man in black who was holding Consort Tian hostage glared at her fiercely. He pushed her to the ground, stepped on her back, and stared at Feng Chenyi with a menacing look: "Prince Rui! Have you really thought this through?"

As he spoke, he stomped his foot hard, pressing Consort Tian to the ground. Consort Tian screamed in pain, completely losing her noble lady demeanor. Tears streaming down her face, she managed to utter, "Your Highness... the child... the child..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Lord Lu could no longer remain calm. He repeatedly kowtowed to the man in black who was trampling on Lu Tian'er, pleading, "Good sir, my daughter is delicate and frail and cannot endure such torment! Your grudges with Prince Rui have nothing to do with my daughter!"

Seeing Lord Lu trying to distance himself again, Zhai Yun felt a chill in her heart. It is said that when husband and wife are of one mind, they can break even metal. Lu Tian'er's motives for marrying Feng Chenyi were impure from the very beginning.

Although Feng Chenyi had never mistreated Lu Tian'er materially and had tried to win over Lord Lu, they ran away faster than anyone else when Feng Chenyi was in trouble.

Zhai Yun stopped in her tracks. Feng Chenyi looked at Lu Tian'er, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, without a ripple in his eyes.

Despite Lord Lu's injustice, Zhai Yun still intends to save Lu Tian'er.

Just as Zhai Yun made a move, a figure flashed past. Zhai Yun didn't have time to think and chased after the figure deep into enemy territory. Feng Chenyi kicked away the black-clad man who was stepping on Lu Tian'er.

Zhai Yun helped Lu Tian'er up from the ground, and before any of the men in black could react, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi had already returned to their original positions.

Lu Tian'er, in Zhai Yun's hands, realized she had been lifted up and suddenly appeared on the Dali Temple side, stunned.

The men in black realized that their hostages had been rescued in an instant, and all of them turned pale. Some of the more timid ones had already slowly retreated.

Lord Lu ran over crying, and Zhai Yun pushed Lu Tian'er to him, coldly ordering, "Take good care of your daughter."

Seeing that some men were already backing down, the leader of the men in black, looking at the impenetrable Dali Temple before him, had no choice but to order: "Retreat! Retreat!"

They tried to force their way in, but before they even saw Ke Ci, they were all killed!

After those people retreated, Lord Lu angrily grabbed Feng Chenyi by the collar. Lord Lu was furious and questioned Feng Chenyi: "Prince Rui, please give me an explanation! Tian'er was perfectly fine, how did she become a hostage? Why didn't you save her immediately! Why didn't you release Master Ke? You've put Tian'er in danger! She's carrying your child!"

Lord Lu knew very well that if he couldn't save Ke Ci, the Empress would still cause trouble for him and Tian'er.

Seeing that Lord Lu couldn't wait a moment longer and turned around to bite back, Zhai Yun felt a surge of anger and broke the hand that was grabbing Feng Chenyi's collar before Feng Chenyi could react!

A scream pierced the night sky. Lu Tian'er turned pale with fright. A pool of blood spread beneath her dress. Lu Tian'er stared blankly at her blood-soaked clothes.

She was so frightened she couldn't speak.

Lord Lu was still reeling from the pain of his broken hand. He glared angrily at Zhai Yun, baring his teeth: "You audacious, insolent servant! Guards! Guards! Kill him!"

No one dared to make a move, inside or outside the Dali Temple!

Lord Lu watched this scene with fury. He rebuked Duan Yi'an: "Lord Duan, are you just going to let a commoner plot against an official of the court? Aren't you afraid that I, the Marquis, will file a complaint with the Emperor!"

Seeing that Lord Lu was venting his anger on him, Duan Yi'an said, "Lord Lu, the Dali Temple is under the command of Prince Rui in this matter. You may sue me if you wish!"

Seeing that his orders went unheeded, Lord Lu went berserk. No one had ever treated him like this before; this Zhai Yun had to die! Lord Lu turned to Feng Chenyi: "Prince Rui, as your father-in-law, I order you to kill him! Kill him!"

Feng Chenyi looked coldly at Lord Lu and said calmly, "Everything you've done today is your own fault! You've been so fickle and indecisive, I've already done more than enough for you!"

Lord Lu, his eyes red, stared at Prince Rui in disbelief. "You...you said...what?"

Feng Chenyi covered his mouth and coughed, his voice becoming weak: "Cough cough! You... don't think that I... cough cough... don't know who you are! They kidnapped Consort Tian, ​​don't you bear any responsibility? The person behind the scenes who is supposed to be so loyal to you, do they even consider you and your daughter as human beings?"
