All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Feng Ning's gaze fell on Hai Lingruo, and sure enough, she saw Hai Lingruo looking at Kou Chenwei with hatred in her eyes.

But when the crown prince turned around to look at her, she put on a weak and aggrieved expression.

The crown prince's heart softened immediately.

He had previously accepted Hai Lingruo's advances.

However, she disliked this woman because she was arrogant and domineering, and she was too incompetent to be the empress.

But looking at her appearance, he thought that perhaps giving her the position of a concubine wouldn't be bad.

In this way, they could gain the support of the Kou family while also making the Hai family more restrained.

Wouldn't that be even more perfect?

So he gave Hai Lingruo a reassuring look, indicating that she had something to say when she went out later.

Hai Lingruo nodded and returned to her seat.

Once things were settled, the Crown Prince made up an excuse and left the main hall.

Hai Lingruo then followed.

When Hai Lingruo saw the Crown Prince, her eyes welled up with tears, which made the Crown Prince feel heartbroken.

This woman is indeed deeply in love with him!

He stepped forward and took Hai Lingruo's hand. "Ling'er, don't worry, I have you in my heart. The position of Crown Princess was decided by Father, and I can't do anything about it, but the position of Crown Prince's concubine will definitely be yours."

Hai Lingruo's eyes lit up instantly, "Is what Your Highness said true?"

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Go back and wait. Tomorrow, the imperial decree of marriage will arrive at the Hai family."

Hai Lingruo was instantly happy.

Although she was outshone by that vile woman from the Kou family, she was still a prince's concubine, which was much better than marrying Kou Chengze.

The only person she had contact with before was Kou Chengze, but she never expected that he wasn't as wonderful as she had imagined, and she didn't like him.

The Kou family are, after all, subjects of the state; how could they compare to the Crown Prince's concubine?

It wasn't good for the two of them to stay out too long, so after they finished talking, they went back one after the other.

Just as the two sat down, Gu Wenlang finally saw Gu Yuxuan return. After seeing him sit down, he smiled and said...

"My second brother has finally settled down in marriage. As his younger brother, I should offer him my congratulations."

Gu Yuxuan raised his chin arrogantly and nodded at him, "Thank you, Third Brother."

Gu Wenlang gave another bitter laugh, "Seeing my second brother finally able to grow old with the person he loves, I feel so envious."

Gu Yuxuan raised an eyebrow. "Third brother, do you have someone you like?"

Gu Wenlang lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, but his gaze swept over Feng Ning almost imperceptibly.

That one glance sent shivers down Duan Menghua's spine, and she quickly pulled Feng Ning closer to her.

Feng Ning was pulled off balance by her, looking completely bewildered.

"what happened?"

Then, Yao Feibai sat down next to Feng Ning with a dark expression. "Menghua, sit in the back. I can handle this."

Duan Menghua was somewhat unconvinced, but since it concerned Feng Ning, she still sat down in the back.

Feng Ning looked at the two of them and finally realized that something was wrong. She asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yao Feibai's face turned ugly. "When the Third Prince was talking about his sweetheart just now, he glanced at you."

Feng Ning suddenly felt a chill.

Damn it! They're really giving him too much credit, aren't they? That bastard!

"I'm going to kill him!"

Yao Feibai placed his hand on her arm. "Calm down. This is the royal palace of the Holy Feather Kingdom. You can't just force your way out."

Feng Ning sneered, "They really dare to dream!"

At worst, we'll all die together! Even if it costs her everything, she'll drag these people down with her!

Then he quietly set up an array in his hand. Yao Feibai looked at her seriously and said, "If you trust me, cooperate with me later. I can handle this."

While Feng Ning was setting up the formation by hiding her hands under his wide sleeves, she replied, "Of course I believe in you. Just do your best. If it really doesn't work, don't force yourself. I have a backup plan."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to hand something to Duan Menghua, she set up several formations and placed them on everyone. As long as their spiritual power was activated, they could operate.

Yao Feibai was the strongest, so she placed several formations on him, using every formation she could think of and that she could use.

They release one every now and then, and then another every now and then.

However, in other people's eyes, it looked like Feng Ning was flirting with Yao Feibai.

These things happen in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, the conversation between the Crown Prince and Gu Wenlang continued.

“I do have someone I love, but she doesn’t know how I feel. I want to take this opportunity to express my feelings to her and ask my father to grant us a marriage.”

The emperor burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! In that case, it's a good thing. I can finally put my mind at ease that the marriage between the two of you can be settled today."

The crown prince glanced at him, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He was just picking what the prince had left over; what was there to be proud of?

He said sarcastically, "Judging from your appearance, your sweetheart must be here too. I wonder which young lady she is? Why don't you tell us so that Father can make a decision for you?"

Gu Wenlang sneered inwardly, "If you weren't the Crown Prince, with a brain like yours, you would have died countless times already."

But he still showed gratitude on his face.

He walked to the center of the main hall, first bowed to Emperor Shengyu, and then walked towards Feng Ning.

He stood in front of Feng Ning, pretending not to see her intimacy with Yao Feibai, and said with deep affection, "Junior Sister Feng Ning, I am truly in love with you, and I sincerely ask to marry you. What do you say?"

Yao Feibai raised an eyebrow, still using his sleeve to shield Feng Ning, "Senior Brother Gu, can't you see the relationship between her and me? Or are you trying to use your royal status to force her into marriage?"

Feng Ning had already set up the formation, attaching many small discs of various sizes to the three of them, but no one could see them.

After she finished, she looked up at Gu Wenlang, then casually put her hand on Yao Feibai's shoulder and moved a little closer.

Yao Feibai froze instantly, his face turning red, but he still forced himself to remain calm and didn't move.

Feng Ning looked at him with a smile, "Senior brother, marriage is a matter of mutual affection. I already have someone I love. You, the dignified Third Prince of the Holy Feather Kingdom, would not want to ruin our relationship, would you?"

As soon as the two finished speaking, Crown Prince Gu Yuxuan burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Third brother, why didn't you ask her if she had someone she loved before you proposed to her? Aren't you bullying her?"

However, just as the two sides were talking, they heard a loud bang from the Hai family's side, as several tables and chairs were overturned.

The head of the Hai family staggered forward two steps. "Feng Ning? You are Feng Ning?"
