Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

Pinru didn't think much of it, genuinely believing that Long Aotian wanted to see the flowers with her, so she followed him out. Only when the footsteps inside faded into the distance did Chen Lian, hiding under Long Aotian's blankets, finally breathe a sigh of relief…

But for some reason, after she quietly got up and looked at the empty room, she unexpectedly felt a sense of emptiness...

……

The letter that Long Aotian asked Bai Shilang to deliver will soon reach Shi Yiguang's hands.

Because Pinru and Leng Yuhuan changed their itinerary, Huayi Mansion should have gained nothing this time. Fortunately, Long Aotian was there, so they didn't end up with absolutely no information.

But when Shi Yiguang opened the letter, she froze on the spot, her hands holding the letter trembling uncontrollably...

"Miss Shi, what's wrong with you? What's written on it?" Pei Lunan noticed Shi Yiguang's unusual behavior and asked.

But Shi Yiguang remained unmoved, her gaze fixed on a name in the letter—Leng Yuhuan. The son of the man who killed her parents—that was his name…

Because the contents of the letter were encrypted, only Shi Yiguang and Long Aotian could decrypt it. When the others saw her like this, they thought something had happened to Long Aotian, and their mood became heavy as well.

"Waaaaah, the adult was so young, and so kind to us, how could this happen..."

"This is all my fault! If I had stayed by his side all along, things would not have turned out this way!" Zhao Zhaoyi clenched her fist with self-reproach, tears welling in her eyes, unable to hide her grief.

Shi Yiguang snapped out of her daze of the terrifying memories and noticed that the people around her were silently sobbing. She asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you all crying...?"

Zhao Zhaoyi's eyes were red. "Didn't the letter say that something had happened to the master?"

Shi Yiguang looked around and realized they seemed to have misunderstood something, so she quickly explained, "That...it's not like that, who said Long Aotian is dead..."

They stopped crying after she explained why she had been staring at the letter.

But when they asked Shi Yiguang what grudge she had against the person in the letter, she did not speak. Instead, she made an excuse to write a reply and went out.

Revenge was a personal matter for her; she didn't know how to bring it up, and she didn't want to drag everyone else into it...

Evening arrived quickly. Because she was wary of the assassins who were eyeing her covetously, Pinru did not step out of the royal city. Instead, she held a banquet for Leng Yuhuan within the city.

Leng Yuhuan still harbored designs on Pinru, and even in the enemy capital, he repeatedly tried to take things further with her, but Pinru ignored him.

The banquet was not a formal agreement on the terms of the peace talks; it was merely a ploy to win people over.

as predicted.

With Leng Yuhuan so biased towards Pinru, those ministers who originally sided with Li Chunfeng have now all switched sides to support her.

After all, Leng Yuhuan was being exceptionally lenient with the terms of the peace talks in order to please Pinru.

However, he also sent people to negotiate peace terms with Li Chunfeng, but the terms were extremely domineering...

Those people weren't fools. The main reason Li Chunfeng was able to quickly gain so much support was because his methods were tough enough, and the measures he took were genuinely aimed at reforming the nation.

However, once the poison has penetrated to the bone, even scraping the bone to remove the poison would take time to show results. Once war breaks out with the Shang Dynasty, there wouldn't even be time left, and it could directly lead to the destruction of the Celestial Empire...

Therefore, Li Chunfeng's power will definitely be greatly weakened, and he may even be completely kicked out of the game in this power struggle...

As the banquet aimed at winning people's hearts came to an end, all the ministers dispersed, while Pinru beamed with joy, feeling that she would soon be able to stand at the pinnacle of power!

"I said those people have all left, shouldn't we sit down and talk things over?" Pinru's room was pushed open, and Leng Yuhuan, who was a little drunk, barged into her room.

Pinru looked at Leng Yuhuan in front of her and smiled seductively, "Didn't we agree on everything on our first night? It's just that you weren't willing, what can I do?"

Leng Yuhuan staggered forward, and when she was only three steps away from Pinru, she pounced on her like a tiger!

Pinru raised her leg, her long, slender, fair legs pressing against Leng Yuhuan's chest, stopping him in place.

Leng Yuhuan then grabbed her ankle and pressed it against his face, enjoying the delicate and smooth touch.

"Can't we be fair? The conditions you've proposed are nothing to me, but what about you? Can you agree to my conditions?" Leng Yuhuan looked at Pinru, still trying to manipulate her. "What's wrong with being my queen? As long as the Shang Dynasty and the Heavenly Dynasty merge, our power will be the greatest in the world!"

As Leng Yuhuan spoke, she moved closer to Pinru and said with a smile, "Besides, didn't you used to love clinging to me the most? You wanted me to take you everywhere you went, and you even said you wanted to marry me. What? Are you going to go back on your word now?"

Pinru smiled, gently stomped her other foot on Leng Yuhuan's chest, and freed herself from his grasp. She said calmly, "That's right, you're right. I did say those things, but now I lack nothing, so those words naturally don't count. If you really want to negotiate, then let's discuss the terms in detail."

Seeing that she had rejected him so decisively, Leng Yuhuan was somewhat displeased and said, "You rejected me? Aren't you afraid that after I return to the Shang Dynasty, I will directly advise the king and encourage him to launch a full-scale attack!"

Upon hearing this, Pinru's smile remained unchanged. "You wouldn't do that. The Celestial Empire today is not the same as it was ten years ago. Are you really confident you can defeat the Celestial Empire now?"

Leng Yuhuan smiled knowingly and continued to press the issue, "It seems you're really confident. Why don't you give it a try?"

Pinru actually had no concept of the power of the Celestial Empire. After all, she was a princess in this world. Despite her tough appearance, she was just a paper tiger.

"Please do as you please," Pinru replied without any hesitation.

“As expected, some people are just tough.” Leng Yuhuan looked at Pinru’s confidence and continued to probe, “You said you’d abandon me, yet you’re not afraid to go to war with the Celestial Empire. You weren’t this confident before. So, who gave you this confidence? Could it be Shen…”

Leng Yuhuan's threatening tone enraged Pinru. She slapped him hard across the face and threatened, "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to have any designs on him. If anything happens to him, I'll make sure you never leave the Celestial Empire!"

Leng Yuhuan was slapped, and his face turned very ugly, but what bothered him more was that his woman had been taken away.

He's the infamous Cold Young Master of N City; countless women beg to sleep with him, but he doesn't even glance at them.

But now?

This woman, who once fawned over him like a dog, is now attacking him for another man? This is an utter disgrace to him!

"You filthy woman, who do you think you are..."

Leng Yuhuan's raised hand was stopped, and the door was instantly torn apart by sword energy...

At the same time, countless figures appeared on the rooftops, and a great battle seemed to be about to break out...

"What? You still think I'm the same as before, still your toy?" Pinru silently stood up, standing in front of Leng Yuhuan, her eyes incredibly resolute as she said, "Let me tell you, things are different now. If you have that thought again, I don't care if I chop you up!"

"You..." Leng Yuhuan glared at her, trying to break free but unable to. He glared at Chen Lian beside him and slapped her hard across the face without saying a word!

Chen Lian turned her head to one side, but the force in her hand did not lessen in the slightest...

"My lord, don't be impulsive. Leave it to me." The young beast rider general appeared outside the door, exuding a terrifying aura. Even a master like Chen Lian restrained the impulsive Pinru the moment he sensed his presence.

The young beast cavalry general surveyed the surroundings, his gaze gloomy and cold, like a lone beast traversing a blizzard...

Chen Lian's hands trembled involuntarily. The others, needless to say, were already gripped by fear stemming from the disparity in strength, which had brought their fighting spirit to its lowest point. Pinru also noticed this.

However, the young beast cavalry general did not press the matter further. Instead, after Chen Lian released his grip, he silently took away the furious Leng Yuhuan.

The moment he left the room, the stagnant air inside finally seemed to come alive again...

"My lord, it's alright now..." Chen Lian turned her head, still looking at Pinru with lingering fear.

Pinru was frozen in fear, barely managing to stay upright by clinging to Chen Lian's arm...

Although she holds a prestigious position in this world, she usually has the power to decide the life and death of others.

But when those notorious murderers or ruthless killers actually appeared in front of her, the fear of death truly made her mind go blank...

"What happened? What happened? I was only gone for a short while, how did such a big commotion occur?" Long Aotian's voice came from outside the courtyard gate. He rushed back to the courtyard, only to find Leng Yuhuan being escorted away by several beast rider generals.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw that the young beast cavalry general was also looking at him with his eyes that concealed a sharp edge.

That look in his eyes was strange, as if he knew me and wanted to tell me something...

But he didn't take it too seriously, since there was no such person in Shen Congxin's memory at all...

Upon arriving at Pinru's room, she rushed towards Long Aotian as soon as she saw him. Long Aotian immediately raised his hands, looking at Chen Lian behind her with a bewildered expression.
