Wang was almost stunned. How could Prince Su, the invincible and bloodthirsty Prince Su, be such a handsome and extraordinary man?

His looks alone surpass all the sons of powerful and wealthy families in the capital, and even the former crown prince is not one in a million as handsome as him.

"This, this is impossible, absolutely impossible."

Prince Su had been stationed at the border, and even if he returned, he would be acting as regent on behalf of the emperor. How could he have been injured and picked up by Wei Nanxun? This is utterly absurd.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully. This is our prince's waist tag, and the robes we are wearing are specially made for the Prince of Su."

Ji Feng took out the waist tag hanging from his waist. It was a golden square tag with the character "Su" engraved on it.

Such things are absolutely impossible to counterfeit. Besides, this is not some remote place, but the capital city right under the emperor's nose. Unless someone is tired of living, who would impersonate a member of the royal family, especially the dignified Prince Su?

Upon seeing the waist tag, the onlookers all knelt down and kowtowed.

"Greetings to Your Highness Prince Su, may Your Highness live a thousand years!"

Other princes and nobles would not receive such devout worship from the people.

Only Prince Su.

The people were able to live in peace and prosperity, and the Great Yan became so powerful that all nations came to pay tribute, all because of King Su. The people were truly subservient to him.

He slightly raised his eyes and said calmly, "Get up."

Seeing this, Wei Heyu, who had been watching from the side, finally couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Sister, is he really His Highness Prince Su?"

Wei Nanxun was also a little stunned and didn't react for a moment. Pei Ji had already tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "If you're so curious, why don't you ask me yourself?"

Of course I wouldn't dare!

Wei Heyu had heard many stories about Prince Su's victories since childhood. To him, the prince was like a god of war. Suddenly, he learned that Prince Su was in love with his elder sister and that he had even ridden Prince Su's warhorse. This was simply unbelievable.

I'm so happy I'm almost fainting.

Wei Heyu's face turned bright red. The person in front of him was the same one he had met at the horse farm, but everything seemed different after he put Pei Ji's name on it.

Looking back now, he was really bold back then. Not only did he compare Prince Su to Cheng Ang, but he also took all sorts of precautions and even asked him for a horse to ride without any politeness.

If he were asked to speak again now, he would absolutely not dare.

Wei Heyu's blushing expression was somewhat similar to Wei Nanxun's. Because of this, Pei Ji also found his future brother-in-law agreeable.

"What, don't you want to ride a horse anymore?"

"Yes!" Wei Heyu blurted out, but quickly hesitated, "Is it...is it okay?"

"Naturally."

"Your Highness! You're so kind!"

In contrast to the unconcerned reminiscing on this side, the onlookers had already been dispersed by Ji Feng and his group. As for Wang Shi, she was still shaking her head and muttering to herself, "Impossible, this is impossible..."

"Sir, what should we do?"

Wang Shi wasn't even worthy of Pei Ji's glance. What was there to do with her? Just drag her away.

He simply raised his hand casually, signaling Ji Feng to take the person away so as not to interfere with his business.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Ji Feng stepped forward, before he even touched Wang Shi's clothes, she was frightened by the sword at Ji Feng's waist.

Horrifying images involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

I heard that on the very day Prince Su arrived in the capital, he gouged out the eyes and pulled out the tongue of a palace gate guard, forcing him to slap himself every day. Later, he also beheaded a vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel, whose head was hung outside the Ministry's office for many days.

Now, she has also offended Prince Su and said such nonsensical things.

Now that it's over, will she also have her eyes gouged out and her tongue pulled out?

Looking at Ji Feng, who was tall and strong, she saw him as a demon coming to take her life, and she was so frightened that she kept shrinking back.

"I dare not, I dare not, Your Highness, spare my life, Your Highness, spare my life!"

Before Ji Feng could even make a move against her, she had already scrambled away, and even though she was covered in injuries and lost a shoe, she didn't dare look back.

Ji Feng blinked in surprise, looking at his hand. He hadn't done anything.

Before setting off, the prince specifically instructed that today's visit to the Wei family was a formality, and no matter how outrageous things got, no blood should be drawn, so as not to leave a bad impression on his future father-in-law.

Otherwise, given the prince's temper, this woman's head would have been chopped off long ago.

The prince only wanted to get rid of the person by ordering him to handle the situation; who would have thought it would terrify the person like this?

Wei Rongde instinctively craned his neck. Although his sister-in-law was infuriating, she shouldn't have caused anyone's death. Even if something bad happened, she shouldn't have left through him.

Otherwise, how could he face his elder brother and several nephews?

Seeing the worry on his face, Pei Ji said naturally, "Uncle Wei, don't worry, I've already sent someone to follow. Nothing will happen."

"Who's your uncle?!"

Wei Rongde couldn't help but blurt it out, and by the time he finished speaking, it was too late to cover his mouth.

He had thought this person must be an outstanding individual, but he never imagined he would be so capable!

The reason they could reprimand the other party without any scruples before was because they didn't know he was Prince Su.

Wei Rongde had traveled all over the country for many years, often going to the Western Regions and moving around the border. What he heard most often was how many people the Prince of Su had killed and how many enemy bandits he had subdued.

Now, this person is standing right in front of him. Normally, he would kneel and kowtow, but since this person is here to marry his beloved daughter, he needs to think it over carefully.

If he is truly as tyrannical and bloodthirsty as rumored, and his current behavior is merely a facade, then his daughter would have to live in constant fear after marrying into the family.

Therefore, even if he said something wrong, he gritted his teeth, endured his trembling knees that almost made him kneel down, and faced Pei Ji with his neck stiff.

Before this, Pei Ji had never felt old. Even though people around him at his age had children, he was not in a hurry and was not moved in the slightest.

It wasn't until he met Wei Nanxun that he would occasionally wonder if he was really getting old.

After all, in terms of seniority, he should be Wei Nanxun's uncle.

He was naturally uncomfortable that Wei Rongde had brought it up again, but what did it matter if people said a few words about him since he was interested in someone else's daughter?

Wei Nanxun was afraid that Pei Ji would get angry. He was straightforward and always thought he was the only one who mattered. When he got excited, he wouldn't care if there were people outside the door and would insist on holding her intimately.

Even someone as skilled at disguising himself as Pei Yuyan didn't hide his true nature in front of his father-in-law, displaying a natural sense of superiority.

She was afraid that her father would offend someone. It was a small matter if his relationship was ruined, but it would be a big deal if he angered Pei Ji.

She was about to say a few words to lighten the mood when Wei Heyu jumped out before her.

"Father! What are you saying? This is Prince Su! Prince Su! Don't pay attention to my father, he's just being old-fashioned. Let me take you inside for tea!"

Wei Rongde: ...

Why does he keep producing such traitors?

"Uncle Wei, rest assured, I am here today to deliver an imperial decree."

"What is the imperial decree?"

Ji Feng rushed over in a hurry, pulled out the bright yellow imperial edict from his waist, and slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot about the important matter."

"Wei Rongde receives the imperial decree."

Everyone was stunned, never expecting that the imperial edict was addressed to him.
