Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Today, Prince of Jin Mu Wenye and Prince of Rui Mu Chuchang had already left the city gate early, ready to welcome the envoys from the Yuyong Kingdom and the Nanyang Kingdom who had come from afar.

At this time, the crowd on the street became a commotion.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" A loud shout rang out.

Xie Jinglan looked over and saw a group of people appearing on the street, waving long whips in their hands and driving away pedestrians.

Soon, the pedestrians on the street were cleared and the people stood on both sides of the avenue, knowing that another distinguished guest had arrived.

After a while, a large group appeared at the other end of the street with flags flying. It was King Jin and King Rui who brought the envoys from Yuyong State and Nanyang State into the city.

The team gradually approached, and the people walking in front were Mu Wenye, Mu Chuchang, Beitang Yuan, Sikong Yu, and Sikong Xiao following behind.

I didn't expect Sikong Xiao to come along too.

Beitang Yuan was still wearing the silver mask that Xie Jinglan had given him, which covered most of his face, but his tall figure and extraordinary aura still made him the most dazzling among these princes and crown princes.

As if sensing something, Beitang Yuan looked towards where she was standing from afar.

Xie Jinglan did not avoid him. She looked at him from a distance with her lips slightly raised.

Seeing that it was actually her, Beitang Yuan smiled and his eyes softened.

During the time I was apart from her, I was worried about her safety all the time, but because of the affairs in the court, I couldn't leave for the time being. Now that I see her standing there well, my heart finally settles down.

The envoys approached her little by little, passed by her little by little, and then walked away little by little.

[Wait for me at night!] Beitang Yuan's voice reached her ears.

[Okay.] Xie Jinglan looked at the man and suddenly realized that she missed him a lot in her heart.

"Tsk tsk, master, your heart has finally blossomed." Xiao Jinzi appeared beside her.

"Long tongue." Xie Jinglan glanced at the gossipy monkey, her mind went into the space, and she took out the spirit stone to continue practicing.

She had a premonition that there would be a fierce battle in the capital of Luofeng Kingdom.

In the evening, when Beitang Yuan came to the inn, Xiao Jinzi was waiting for him in the room.

"The master is practicing, come in!" Xiao Jinzi sent him into the space with his mind.

After entering the space, Beitang Yuan saw Xie Jinglan sitting cross-legged there, with golden light surrounding her body.

There was a pile of spirit stones in front of her. Rich spiritual energy continuously emanated from the spirit stones, turning into strands of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye. She absorbed and refined them bit by bit, making the golden light on her body become more and more dazzling.

Seeing that she would need some time, Beitang Yuan sat down and waited for her.

Smelling her familiar scent in the space, his mood, which had been troubled by trivial matters, gradually calmed down as if blown by a breeze.

For some reason, he always felt that Xie Jinglan seemed to have a magical power that could dispel the haze deep in his heart.

More than half an hour passed before Xie Jinglan absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stones and finished her cultivation.

"You..." She was about to speak when Beitang Yuan pulled her into his arms.

The pleasant scent of ambergris on the man filled her nostrils and lingered.

"You girl, how dare you go to Mincheng alone." If I could, I really want to spank her hard.

"I'm fine, aren't I?" Xie Jinglan pushed him away, but he held her even tighter.

"From now on, you are not allowed to leave my side." He really didn't want to live the kind of life where he couldn't see her and was worried about her all day long. That was more painful than having his heart cut out.

"I will find a way to deal with the matter between Master Xie and his wife. Don't worry too much."

"Okay." Xie Jinglan looked up at him, "Sit down first. I have something to tell you."

"Let's eat first." Beitang Yuan finally let her go and let her sit on the sofa. "You've lost weight. I cooked some mutton in the kitchen and will bring it over to nourish you."

"Let me serve the food! You guys continue to be affectionate." Xiao Jinzi said to them and ran to the kitchen.

Xie Jinglan blushed, "What nonsense does this naughty monkey talk about all day long?"

"It's a bit perceptive." Beitang Yuan laughed, held her hand, looked into her eyes and said, "Lan'er, after we rescue Master Xie and Madam Xie, we can get married, okay?"

Xie Jinglan froze. She didn't expect him to bring up this matter again. "We..."

To be honest, at the moment, this man is pretty good.

But thinking that he would be the emperor in the future and have three thousand beauties in his harem, she would not want him, no matter how good the man was.

"I'm still young. I won't get married until I'm twenty."

In two months, she will be seventeen years old. Even if she has someone she likes, she shouldn't get married and have children so early.

"Okay, I'll wait until you grow up." Beitang Yuan's eyes darkened. "It's all because I was too impatient and didn't consider your health."

This girl is too thin, she really needs to be taken good care of.

Xiao Jinzi brought out the rice and dishes and placed them on the table in front of them.

Beitang Yuan picked up a small bowl and scooped a bowl of broth for her. "It's still a little hot, drink it slowly."

"Beitang Yuan, thank you." This man was really good to her.

Apart from personal feelings, she is willing to do everything to help him.

"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? If you want to thank me, it's because you saved my life and I still owe you one." Beitang Yuan took the bowl and scooped a bowl of broth for himself.

Xie Jinglan didn't say anything else and drank the broth in the bowl in small sips.

The broth tasted good, but I felt bad.

The two of them finished their meal quietly, and Xiao Jinzi diligently came to clear the table for them.

"In the current court of Luofeng State, Prince Jin and Prince Rui hold the greatest power.

The Empress has no children, nor any adopted princes. Emperor Luofeng has yet to appoint a crown prince. Mu Wenye and Mu Chuchang are vying for the throne, forming cliques and factions. Xie Jinglan and Beitang Yuan analyzed the situation at the Luofeng court.

"Prince Jin is a man of great military prowess and abilities, but his mother was a palace maid, and his status is low. He is neither the eldest nor the legitimate heir, so the throne will never be his.

Prince Rui was born to the Imperial Noble Consort, and his maternal grandfather was the Prime Minister, so he has many supporters in the court. When I first arrived here, I wanted to work with Mu Chuchang to suppress Mu Wenye and help him seize that high position.

But later, after some inquiries, I learned that Mu Chuchang was a cruel and pedophile. There were no fewer than a hundred girls imprisoned in the backyard of his palace. He was not fit to be a king at all, so I gave up the idea.

"We don't need to worry about the affairs of the Luofeng Kingdom. Emperor Luofeng invited me to celebrate his birthday, which shows that he has ulterior motives."

When the topic of relations between nations came up, Beitang Yuan's expression darkened. "I came here to see what tricks they were up to. People from Shura Sect, Kunlun Sect, and Netherworld Palace might show up too."
