Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

After a few more days, Lan Qingwu's foot finally healed.

When Emperor Shenwu came over in the evening, Lan Qingwu was reading a book.

"What are you reading?"

Lan Qingwu raised the scroll in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is the scroll my cousin brought for me. Brother Heng, my cousin has come to Floating Cloud City with his teacher. I want to ask him about the Lan family. Can I meet him?"

A barely perceptible cold light flashed across the Divine Martial Emperor's phoenix eyes. "Great! Ruo Ruo, your cousin really cares about you. He even remembered to bring you a book when he arrived in Floating Cloud City."

Lan Qingwu nodded: "When we were at the border, my cousin would bring me many interesting books to read..."

Lan Qingwu seemed to have noticed something and quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty...Brother Heng, my feet don't hurt anymore. Can you take me to the island again?"

Emperor Shenwu embraced Lan Qingwu with his arms and said, "I will take you there tomorrow."

Emperor Shenwu brought Lan Qingwu to Liuyun Island again.

Liuyun Island has beautiful scenery and a mild and pleasant climate, and Lan Qingwu almost didn't want to leave.

Hai Lanshan had another dispute with Hai Lansheng. Hai Lanshan did not want to get engaged at this time. Hai Lansheng carefully analyzed the current situation and circumstances of the Hai family to her in the Hai family ancestral hall that day. Hai Lanshan understood that it was impossible for her to enter the harem of Da Sheng as Commander Hai. Her brother was right. If she was obsessed with His Majesty, she would have to give up her current status and identity that she had worked hard for. In this way, what would be the difference between her and those women?

But how could it be so easy to completely give up on someone? Hai Lanshan had a faint hope in her heart, wanting to be closer to that person, wanting to know what that person was thinking, wanting to know if that person had a place for her in their heart.

So Hai Lanshan once again rejected Hai Lansheng's proposal and wanted to make a decision after some time.

But today, seeing the emperor and his concubine playing together again, and the two of them as a pair, Hai Lanshan's heart was stirred again, and her face became gloomy.

Zuo Xiaohu, who was standing beside Hai Lanshan, was not one to read other people's expressions. He didn't notice at all and said carelessly, "Ashan, His Majesty and His Majesty are a perfect match. Look how much His Majesty cares about His Majesty. They are truly a perfect match! Normally, I really can't believe that such a majestic man like His Majesty can be so kind to a concubine..."

Hai Lanshan interrupted Zuo Xiaohu's rambling impatiently: "What do you mean by a match? Only the emperor and the empress are a match! She... is just a concubine."

Zuo Xiaohu realized it belatedly and said, "Ashan, are you unhappy? You..."

Hai Lanshan suddenly straightened her back and stared in one direction.

Zuo Xiaohu followed Hai Lanshan's gaze and saw Emperor Shenwu gently insert a yellow flower into Concubine Yi's hair.

Hai Lanshan felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Her palms clenched involuntarily, and her unwillingness became increasingly uncontrollable.

Hai Lansheng then walked up to the Shenwu Emperor and said, "Your Majesty! General Leng and I just captured a few bandits outside the island! Your Majesty, would you like to summon them?"

Emperor Shenwu waved his sleeves and said, "Forget it. Let's discuss it again when we return to Liuyun Palace."

Hai Lansheng bowed in return and then left.

When Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu away from Liuyun Island, something unexpected happened in an instant.

More than a dozen pirates surrounded Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu. Emperor Shenwu frowned slightly and subconsciously reached out to pull Lan Qingwu behind him.

More than a dozen phantom guards appeared around Emperor Shenwu. Qian Hui and his Yulin Army cooperated with the phantom guards and shot out around Emperor Shenwu like arrows.

Hai Lanshan and Zuo Xiaohu were stunned for a moment and then quickly joined the battle.

In less than a moment, all the pirates were captured by everyone.

Emperor Shenwu glanced at the pirates and gave an immediate order: "First, take them to the dungeon of Liuyun Palace..."

"Yes……"

At this moment, Hai Lanshan leaped up, swung her long sword, and swung it at one of the pirates, shouting, "What's that in your hand?"

The long sword was incredibly powerful and sharp, slicing through the pirate's neck. Fresh red blood spurted out, and the pirate's neck was almost torn from his body! Even in the daytime, it looked incredibly cold and creepy!

Qian Hui and Huan Feng who were nearby were stunned for a moment. The pirate had been controlled, and there was no need to treat him in such a violent and cruel way, not to mention that they had not yet interrogated him.

All this happened not far from Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu.

Emperor Shenwu reacted extremely quickly. His wide sleeves quickly covered Lan Qingwu's face. Then Emperor Shenwu embraced Lan Qingwu, his arms wrapped around Lan Qingwu, and his broad palms covered the eyes of the woman in his arms.

Lan Qingwu saw Hai Lanshan swinging her long sword, and then she was blinded by the Divine Martial Emperor. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and the screams of people around her rose and fell. Lan Qingwu could imagine the scene in her mind. She almost vomited.

Emperor Shenwu felt Lan Qingwu's tense body and picked him up with his other hand: "Don't be afraid, don't open your eyes!"

Lan Qingwu nodded slightly.

Emperor Shenwu glanced at Hai Lanshan calmly, then turned his gaze to Hai Lansheng who was still in shock, and without stopping, he got on the dragon chariot.

In the dragon chariot, Ruhan carefully lowered the curtains and lit some sweet incense in the carriage. Lan Qingwu finally felt better in his chest and no longer felt so stuffy.

Behind the dragon chariot, Hai Lansheng was startled by the look from Emperor Shenwu. He finally came to his senses, and his angry eyes, which were about to spit fire, turned to his careless sister.

"What do you want to do? Do you think that doing this will show your ability? Or do you think that this will scare Concubine Yi and make His Majesty think that she is making a fuss and look at you differently?"

When Hai Lanshan saw Emperor Shenwu's series of actions later, she couldn't help but feel sad, and when she saw Lan Qingwu's tense body, she felt that it was true.

Hai Lansheng flicked his sleeves and said, "You will take full responsibility for whatever happened today and any consequences!"

Hai Lanshan curled her lips in disapproval. What consequences could there be? She, Hai Lanshan, had never been afraid of anything!

So when the marriage decree arrived at the prefectural governor's mansion, Hai Lanshan was filled with disbelief. She knelt on the ground, staring wide-eyed at Li Xiang, who was holding the golden imperial decree. "What did you say? Your Majesty wants to grant me a marriage with Zuo Xiaohu? And you want me to resign my position as commander?"

Li Xiang closed the imperial edict respectfully and said expressionlessly, "Miss Hai, please accept my order!"

Hai Lansheng, who was kneeling in front of Hai Lanshan on the left, reminded his sister: "This is an imperial decree, Ah Shan, you should quickly accept it!"

Hai Lanshan shuddered at the warning look in her brother's eyes. What would be the consequences of disobeying the order? Of course, she didn't dare disobey the order, not wanting to bring disaster upon the Hai family! For the first time in her life, Hai Lanshan felt the supremacy of imperial power, which could not be violated! And it was also cold and ruthless!
