The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

With a loud bang, the two streams of true energy collided violently and exploded in the air!

Sikong Jin's frail body was suddenly thrown backward, the force of which sent her flying out of the city gate and crashing heavily to the ground. She swallowed the metallic taste that was about to burst from her mouth, gripped Yue Po tightly, and struggled to her feet. It took her a while to regain her balance. Meanwhile, three zhang away, Xi Fenglie also took a few steps back before regaining his footing, his usually stern face turning somewhat grim.

Seeing this, Gore immediately shouted, "Charge and kill him!"

However, at that moment, a horse suddenly neighed in their ears. Before they could react, a black horse suddenly charged over and quickly passed by Sikong Jin. Sikong Jin lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped onto the horse.

The horse leaped up and charged forward like lightning.

"Come on!"

"Catch up with him!"

……

Rushing forward, Sikong Jin headed straight for the deep mountains.

The sky was beginning to darken, the wind was getting colder, and eerie animal cries could be heard. Sikong Jin dared not linger for a moment, for the Liao pursuers were right behind him!

Passing through the dense, sprouting forest, until reaching the depths of the woods and arriving at a secluded stream, Sikong Jin finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a cry of "Wah!", the dull pain in her chest intensified, a sweet taste rose in her throat, and a stream of blood gushed from her mouth. A blur flashed before her eyes, her head spun, and she suddenly felt completely powerless, unable even to grip the reins. Her body went limp, and she fell abruptly from her horse.

'Ahem! '

After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, Sikong Jin mustered all her strength to get up, leaned against an old tree, and sat down, panting heavily.

A piercing pain shot through her chest, and the spot on her back where Xi Fenglie had struck her felt frozen solid, chilling her to the bone. The cold made her tremble all over. Her ordinary little face had long since returned to Sikong Jin's original appearance, her delicate face now deathly pale, her rose-pink lips completely devoid of color.

Sikong Jin stabbed the Moon Soul in her hand into the ground beside her, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and felt a sense of despair overwhelmed by the excruciating pain and weakness all over her body. She looked around and could still faintly hear the iron hooves and voices of the Liao pursuers...

"Am I going to die here?"

Sikong Jin trembled all over and asked in a low voice.

'Go and check over there!'

'Go and take a look over there!'

The Liao pursuers were getting closer and closer. Sikong Jin gritted her teeth, grabbed Yue Po with one hand, and although the cold light in her eyes was ruthless and sharp, her gaze was somewhat unfocused.

'step!'

Two steps!

Three steps!

Sikong Jin silently counted the approaching footsteps, just as she was about to muster all her strength to stand up and fight her way out—

"His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered a halt to the pursuit and an immediate retreat!"

……

As she listened to the sounds of the Liao pursuers fading into the distance, Sikong Jin collapsed weakly, leaning against a tree trunk, panting heavily. Her consciousness began to fade, and in her daze, she saw a vast expanse of white mist suddenly appear before her. She tried to reach out and push away the mist, but it only grew thicker and thicker, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

so cold...

She trembled uncontrollably, waves of pain shooting through her chest. Unable to resist, she raised her hand and pressed it tightly against her chest. However, just as her palm touched her chest, a faint warmth slowly seeped through her sleeve...

Sikong Jin was momentarily dazed. With the last vestige of consciousness, she laboriously reached into her sleeve, only to find a jade pendant radiating a faint warmth...

Suddenly, she heard someone's indifferent voice—

“That’s the Phoenix Jade of the Great Zhou. With it, you can move freely throughout the Great Zhou. I won’t take any concubines for the next three years… Sikong Jin, if I can still see it intact in your hands after three years, I will truly believe in fate. And you then… I’m really looking forward to it…”

The image of Di Beizun's cold and alluring face flashed before her eyes again. Sikong Jin gave a bitter smile and muttered to herself, "Di Beizun, I'm afraid I can't fulfill the conditions I agreed to... What's worse, I've been lusting after you for so long, and I haven't gotten anything out of it... How infuriating..."

Then, Sikong Jin lost all consciousness...

At this time, it was also late at night. In Shicheng, a city near the capital of Shu Kingdom that had just been ravaged by war and captured by the Great Zhou, the Crown Prince's temporary residence was located.

Di Beizun gazed indifferently at the overturned teacup on the memorial before him, his handsome brows furrowing slightly, his expression somewhat dazed.

"Your Highness seems somewhat restless tonight. Is it because you've been too tired these past few days?"

Su Yu, who was below, spoke up with concern.

Emperor Beizun glanced indifferently at the overturned teacup, picked up the wet memorial, put it aside, and slowly stood up.

“Your Highness, we have just captured Stone City, and the situation here is still quite chaotic. The officials have already made arrangements for matters in the city as quickly as possible, while Your Highness has been working tirelessly day and night. You must be quite tired now. Perhaps Your Highness should rest for a few days before continuing north. However, Your Highness's enthronement ceremony seems to be approaching very soon…”

Su Yu said in a low voice.

Di Beizun did not answer, but walked over silently and sat down slowly by the bed. Su Yu quickly poured him some water.

"Your Highness, His Majesty and the Empress have sent four secret letters urging you to return to court as soon as possible. Your Highness, the enthronement ceremony is just around the corner, and we hope that Your Highness will prioritize the overall situation."

"Did Father and Mother issue a decree ordering you to come and tell me these things?"

A cold light flashed in Di Beizun's deep eyes as he looked at Su Yu indifferently, his tone extremely calm.

"Your Highness..."

Di Beizun slightly turned his body, looking indifferently at the quiet night outside the window. "Lord Su, you are my man, and I do not wish to hear anything I do not wish to hear from you."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu could only smile wryly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Highness, I only wish to share your burdens. Such delays are not good for Your Highness or the entire Great Zhou. Only when Your Highness ascends the throne and becomes the Emperor of our Great Zhou will the entire Great Zhou truly belong to Your Highness."

"The entire Great Zhou Dynasty? Isn't it already under my control?" Emperor Beizun rubbed his temples. A hint of weariness showed between his brows. "Now is not a good time to ascend the throne. We must conquer the capital of Shu in the next few days. After that, I will go to Luoyang. Let's postpone the enthronement ceremony until after the New Year."
