First annul the engagement, then sever ties with the empress; the empress reigns supreme.

Fengyang clutched his chest, looking as if he was struggling to breathe and in great discomfort.

She only said one sentence: "Go and call Feng Wu in for me!"

Gu Junxi and Mu Lingye exchanged a glance and agreed to Feng Yang's request.

The trouble should end it.

Everything Fengyang is suffering now is because of Feng Wu.

To completely resolve the problems of the Qin state, it is necessary to help untangle the knot between Fengyang and Fengwu.

At the very least, it needs to be ensured that Fengyang and Fengwu can get along peacefully and not cause any more trouble while the Qin envoy is away from Dasheng.

This way, Emperor Sheng will have no excuse to cause trouble for Mu Lingye again.

Because Mu Lingxuan was preoccupied with drugging Gu Junxi, when Gu Junxi opened the door and called Feng Wu in, he finally stopped interfering and just watched from the side.

Looking at the woman he once looked down on, now she was radiating light and handling things methodically.

Feng Wu, along with a group of Qin envoys, stood outside the room, their eyes fixed intently on the interior.

As soon as Gu Junxi opened the door, her gaze went past Gu Junxi and into the inner room.

"Cousin-in-law Crown Princess, how is Fengyang now?" Feng Wu took a few steps closer, but her gaze still did not fall on Gu Junxi.

Gu Junxi used the angle to completely block Feng Wu's view, preventing her from seeing the situation in the room clearly.

She didn't reveal Fengyang's current situation, but simply relayed, "Princess Fengwu, Princess Fengyang invites you in!"

"Let me in? She can still speak... No, what I mean is, she's feeling better now?" Feng Wu realized she had misspoke as soon as she finished speaking and immediately corrected herself.

Gu Junxi didn't care about Feng Wu's inner thoughts; she simply opened the door to let Feng Wu in.

Feng Wu hesitated as she looked at the space Gu Junxi had given up, and didn't step in for a long time.

Gu Junxi gazed calmly at Feng Wu, as if trying to see through her heart: "Princess Feng Wu, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Junxi directly pointed out what Feng Wu was thinking, making Feng Wu even more guilty. In particular, she noticed that after Gu Junxi said those words, the suspicious gazes of the Qin envoys beside her fell on her again.

Feng Wu felt tricky, once again feeling like she was caught in a dilemma.

She really regretted it.

If she had known that Gu Junxi was so difficult to deal with, she shouldn't have set her sights on Mu Lingye in the first place.

Now it really proves the saying: "I didn't catch the fox, but I got myself into a mess."

For the sake of her last remaining reputation, no matter what awaits her upon entering this room, she cannot back down.

Thinking of this, Feng Wu forced a smile and stepped into the room.

"My cousin-in-law, the Crown Princess, is really joking. How could I possibly feel guilty? No matter what has happened between me and Fengyang, or how many misunderstandings there have been, Fengyang will always be my sister. I only wish her well."

Gu Junxi did not reply to Feng Wu's words, and said the same thing again: she didn't care about Feng Wu's attitude.

She closed the door behind her the moment Feng Wu stepped into the room.

Feng Wu was startled by Gu Junxi's actions. She quickly turned around, glancing at Gu Junxi warily, her voice changing: "What are you going to do?"

At this moment, Feng Wu perfectly captured the essence of her guilty conscience.

Gu Junxi remained calm and did not answer.

She looked coldly at Fengyang, who had been hiding to one side.

The instant Feng Wu turned around, Feng Yang approached with a dagger, unexpectedly pressing it against Feng Wu's neck.

The cold dagger pressed against her skin, making Feng Wu's heart race and raising goosebumps all over her body in an instant.

She took a deep breath and carefully looked at Fengyang, whose skin had turned sallow and whose youthful innocence had vanished in just a few days.

"Little sister, what are you doing? I'm the older sister!"

"You still remember you're my sister? You're my sister! How could you treat me like this? It wasn't enough that you hurt me the first time, you had to hurt me a second time. Do you hate me that much?" Feng Yang's hand holding the dagger trembled, her voice hoarse as she accused him.

Feng Wu was afraid of angering Feng Yang, who would really slash a wound on her neck that would never heal. She carefully moved her eyes and pretended to be stupid in a soft voice.

"Fengyang, is there some misunderstanding between us? I admit that putting medicine on your wound was a ruse I set up, but I've already explained the reason to you. As for what the second time meant, I really don't know. Don't be fooled."

Feng Wu's statement that she had been deceived was almost a direct accusation, since Gu Junxi had just been in the room.

Perhaps he had been deceived too many times, or perhaps Fengyang had learned to be clever.

She stopped listening to Feng Wu's clever arguments, and with a forceful slash of her dagger, she cut Feng Wu's delicate skin, and blood flowed out.

Feng Wu let out a muffled groan, her pupils dilating in panic.

Feng Yang controlled his strength, and after cutting Feng Wu once, ensuring that Feng Wu was frightened but not killed, he put the dagger back on Feng Wu's neck.

"Tell me the truth, stop lying to me. Why do you hate me so much? How much of what you did for me before was genuine? If I feel you're lying, I won't hesitate to cut a gash on your face too."

"That way, neither of us can ever marry into Dasheng again. All your hard work and scheming will be for nothing. If you dare to gamble, then go ahead and lie!"

As Feng Yang finished speaking, the dagger that had been pressed against Feng Wu's neck moved upwards, pressing tightly against Feng Wu's cheek.

Her eyes gleamed with a reckless madness.

People are afraid of the crazy, and the crazy are afraid of the reckless.

Feng Wu clearly valued her life more than Feng Yang. Seeing that she could no longer fool Feng Yang, Feng Wu compromised and simply stopped pretending.

The tenderness and concern in her eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by indifference and a ruthless, self-destructive attitude.

"Qin Fengyang, don't you know why I hate you? Just because I'm two years older than you, I have to protect you in every way, stand in front of you to protect you, and shield you from the wind and rain. You don't care at all whether I'm tired or suffering, you only know how to cause trouble."

“If you suffer even the slightest injustice, you will hold a grudge and in the end, your mother will blame me for not taking good care of you. Why should I take care of you? Even this time when we came to Dasheng, your mother repeatedly told me to pave the way for you.”

"But where is my path? Has Mother ever thought of me at all? You said you wanted to marry into the Great Sheng, and I told you, you could give me the opportunity. You're so generous, but have you considered whether Mother would be willing?"

"Do you know that if I don't plan for myself, who will my father marry me to after I return to Qin? He will marry me to Yan, to that perverted eldest prince of Yan, Leng Xuanjue, as a concubine. That would truly ruin my life."

This was the first time Feng Yang had heard Feng Wu analyze her inner thoughts. She had never imagined that her dependence on her older sister since childhood would cause her such a heavy burden.

She had originally resented and blamed Feng Wu, but at this moment, her resentment suddenly turned into a helpless sense of guilt.

Her hand holding the dagger loosened involuntarily, slowly pulling away from Feng Wu's cheek, as she murmured weakly.

"Why didn't you tell me you were tired sooner? Why didn't you tell me you wanted to marry into the Yan Kingdom? We could have figured it out together!"

"A solution? What solution could there be? Would Mother really let you take my place?" Feng Wu sneered mockingly. Taking advantage of Feng Yang's momentary lapse in concentration, she snatched the dagger from Feng Yang's hand and pressed it against Feng Yang's heart.
