Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

"Come with me." In the darkness, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ninth Prince Feng Xingye pulled Xiao Fengyi up from the ground and held her protectively in his arms.

"Ninth Imperial Uncle, that wild girl Xiao Fengyi has accused my Seventh Prince of lying. If you take her away, aren't you just condoning her actions?" The Imperial Concubine spoke up to stop them, not wanting the two of them to leave.

She was a concubine, and no one in the small garden dared to offend her. But Feng Xingye was a war god with indelible military achievements, and he didn't take her, this dispensable favored concubine, seriously at all.

After all, everyone knows that it's not a big deal for Emperor Da Yun to lose one concubine, but if he loses the God of War who protects the country and conquers the world, his position will be in jeopardy.

The palace lanterns shone brightly, illuminating the man's wild and unruly profile.

In the dim night, a cold wind whistled. Facing the faint light, the man turned to look in the direction of the imperial concubine, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. "Let's go."

Let's go.

Such a bland and ordinary remark infuriated the Imperial Concubine, angered Feng Mingjing, astonished Shen Shi and Xiao Fengyi, and made... Xiao Fengyi, who was beside her, feel protected.

She was embraced in strong chests and arms, and walked firmly toward the gate of the small garden, with no time to look back at those malicious expressions.

Feng Mingjing couldn't help himself. He grabbed the sachet from his mother's hand and chased after her, facing the blurry palace lanterns ahead. "Xiao Fengyi, it was clearly you! It was clearly you who gave me the sachet! Why won't you admit it? Are you just going to deny it because of Ninth Prince's protection?"

How could he lie so blatantly? How could he be so indecisive? It's absolutely outrageous!

Xiao Fengyi had really had enough and was about to turn around and confront Feng Mingjing, the big liar, when the man beside her moved even faster than she did.

Boom!

Feng Xingye shoved Xiao Fengyi aside, drew his long sword from his waist, pointed it directly at Feng Mingjing's neck, and said coldly, "Get lost!"

He uttered only one word; the rest was the chilling gleam of his longsword in the night.

Seeing this, the Imperial Concubine instructed Eunuch Li to pull Feng Mingjing backward.

She looked up and said, "Son, don't go head-to-head with Ninth Prince."

Because of these words, Feng Mingjing could only watch helplessly as Xiao Fengyi left, clenching his fists until the veins were showing before letting go.

When Xiao Fengyi and Feng Mingjing left Leyuan Lake, the Imperial Concubine said bitterly, "Feng Xingye, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have military merits. Don't fall into my hands one day!"

Everyone in Leyuan Lake knows that Prince Zhao has made outstanding contributions and is the God of War of Dayun. No one can touch him. Although the Consort is of noble status and enjoys constant favor, she cannot threaten him at all.

Although Feng Mingjing did not speak, his hands clenched into fists beneath his clothes, as if he would not give up until he got Xiao Fengyi.

Madam Shen was actually pleased that Xiao Fengyi had offended the Imperial Concubine and the Seventh Prince. Just as she was about to discuss it with Xiao Qingyin, she discovered that her daughter was standing next to the Seventh Prince, tugging at his sleeve.

Seeing the Seventh Prince's gentle and tender eyes, Madam Shen suddenly realized that her daughter was quite good at coaxing people.

Xiao Fengyi and Feng Mingjing were unaware of everything that happened in the small garden.

When they arrived outside the palace, the carriage that Feng Xingye had arranged for Yue Qi to prepare was already parked under the willow tree at the north gate.

Xiao Fengyi was forced to kneel on the ground, injuring her knees and wrists to varying degrees, making her unsteady on her feet.

Fortunately, Feng Xingye did not let go of her hand when he led her out of the small garden, allowing her to lean against his chest.

Despite their intimate gesture, Xiao Fengyi did not push Feng Xingye away, knowing that if she did, she would be unable to walk.

However, Xiao Fengyi still had a question, "Ninth Imperial Uncle, how did you know I was in the Imperial Concubine's little garden?"

Upon hearing this question, the man smiled and helped the girl in his arms onto the carriage.

After the two entered the carriage, Feng Xingye explained how he knew Xiao Fengyi was in the Consort's small garden.

"Actually, after you left that day, I kept Yueqi with you. Yueqi saw the Duchess of Xiao Guogong give you the invitation to the poetry gathering that the Imperial Concubine was holding in the small garden at Qingya Courtyard, and then she came back and told me everything."

After Feng Xingye finished speaking, he handed the medicine for bruises and sprains to the woman with a blank expression, "Wipe this on, isn't your leg injured?"

Xiao Fengyi stood there stunned for a long time, but still didn't take the medicine.

The man simply pulled the medicine from her fingertip and placed it in his hand.

The woman snapped out of her daze as she took the medicine bottle from the man, immediately putting it away and staring at him, demanding, "Your Highness, why...why were you following me?"

When Feng Xingye heard this, he was wiping the long sword in his hand, which was the very sword he had used to take Xiao Fengyi away.

"I remember telling you that I wanted to marry you, so of course I would want to know more about you."

what?

Xiao Fengyi never expected that Feng Xingye would say these things to her under such circumstances.

Feng Xingye was Prince Zhao, who had just saved her. Xiao Fengyi couldn't get angry with him, so she could only sit in the swaying carriage and stare blankly at the enclosed space.

Suddenly, she felt a cold sensation in her left hand, as if it were human temperature.

Whose hands could be so cold...?

As Xiao Fengyi looked down to find the source of the temperature, she saw Feng Xingye take the medicine bottle away from her hand.

She thought Feng Xingye would take the medicine bottle away since he saw she wasn't applying it, but instead he took the bottle back and pulled up her trouser leg.

The woman, startled by the man's actions, hid behind him. "Your Highness, what are you doing...?"

Seeing Xiao Fengyi's alarmed expression, the man shook his head and applied the liniment from the medicine bottle to her legs.

A moment later, Xiao Fengyi not only smelled a cool minty scent, but also felt a cool sensation on her knees.

It turned out that the man was applying medicine to himself.

You know what, Xiao Fengyi found the medicine quite comfortable and even asked Feng Xingye, "What kind of medicine is this?"

I remember the last time she was beaten, the other party gave her a Purple Gold Blood-Activating Pill, which must have been quite valuable.

The man was focused on applying the medicine and did not answer her question immediately. The carriage suddenly became empty, revealing a hint of ambiguity.

Xiao Fengyi felt that Feng Xingye truly lived up to his reputation as a war god. He was very knowledgeable about the pain and discomfort caused by falls and injuries. His skillful technique of applying medicine to the bruises made her feel much better immediately.

Just as she was feeling comfortable, the man who had been keeping his head down and not speaking suddenly spoke up, “This is Sanqi Bagua Water, which was prepared for me by a divine doctor. It uses more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs.”

Miracle doctor?

"This medicine was originally prepared by Master? I wonder if there is a formula in the 'Spiritual Essence Essentials'?" Xiao Fengyi suddenly realized when she heard Feng Xingye mention Master.
