Feng Xiyue smiled and said, "I have something to tell you. Let me introduce you to my eldest sister, Prince Qi."

Feng Lilu tilted her head slightly and chuckled, "I just heard my royal sister mention Lady Han. I didn't expect to meet her so soon."

She even watched a play, which was different from what others did, and it shattered her perception of Han Zixuan.

Han Zixuan was slightly taken aback. Were these two sisters talking about her? What did that mean?

"Your subject has met with Your Highness, Prince Qi."

With an upright expression, he didn't give Feng Liluo, who was sitting down, much of a look.

Prince Qi is a virtually invisible figure in the book. He is disabled and has never participated in any royal struggles. He has always been just an idle prince, and the book only mentions him briefly.

Feng Lilu could sense that Han Zixuan was looking at her as if she were an ordinary person.

This aroused Feng Liluo's curiosity about her, as she had become very sensitive to the gazes of others since she lost the ability to walk.

Most of the expressions were regret and scorn, but Han Zixuan's eyes held no other emotion.

Feng Xiyue said calmly

"King Qi just said he would send an additional 3,000 men, Zixuan. When you take over the city's guards, you can take them with you to Suizhou as well." More men mean a greater chance of victory.

"Uh, okay." An extremely bland reply.

"Han Zixuan, my elder sister really likes your poetry. We can exchange and discuss with her in the future."

Han Zixuan raised an eyebrow slightly. Feng Xiyue's introduction showed that the two sisters had a very good relationship, and could entrust three thousand soldiers to each other without any hesitation or suspicion.

In addition, having previously seen Feng Xiyue issue an imperial edict to collect renowned doctors from across the land who were skilled in treating leg ailments, it was presumably also for the sake of this Prince Qi.

It's clear that Prince Qi is quite important to Feng Xiyue.

"Okay, I will definitely bother you when I have time in the future."

After the introduction, Feng Xiyue couldn't resist her curiosity.

"Han Zixuan, I am a little curious as to why you rejected the Prince of Nan'an."

Although the Prince of Nan'an was only a prince, he held real power and a fiefdom.

If you become her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she will definitely be of great help to you.

Having connections with royalty is a blessing that most people would kill for.

He ignored such a huge temptation, and things even got quite tense...

Han Zixuan looked at Feng Xiyue's probing gaze and responded with a somewhat speechless remark.

"Would you like this blessing?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall narrowed their eyes and looked at Han Zixuan. How dare she speak to the Empress like that? It was utterly treasonous.

Then the group turned their attention to the Empress, waiting for her to punish Han Zixuan.

But Feng Xiyue said in a serious tone, "Heh, I'm already an empress, I don't care for that little bit of fortune."

The tone was as if speaking to a close friend, without any hint of anger.

Han Zixuan responded calmly, "Noble? More like trouble. If I want power and status, I can fight for it myself. It's more practical to rely on myself than on others."

If Feng Xiyue were to lie to someone else, she would definitely think that this person is arrogant and overbearing.

But hearing it from Han Zixuan's mouth made her feel that this was just normal.

"Good, Zixuan, you are more confident than before. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

I still remember when we first met, he was a cautious and timid student. I really wanted to befriend him, but he refused.

However, it was only through his persistent efforts that the two became friends.

After exchanging pleasantries, Han Zixuan glanced at the sky and said, "If Your Majesty has nothing else, my husband and I will return home. The children and father at home must be waiting anxiously."

She has business to attend to in Suizhou tomorrow, so she doesn't have time to chat with her here.

Seeing that she was getting impatient, Feng Xiyue didn't insist on keeping her any longer and agreed.

After Han Zixuan and Shen Qingxi left, Feng Xiyue came up behind Feng Liluo and pushed the wheelchair out.

"What does Your Highness think of Han Zixuan?"

Feng Liluo looked at the high palace walls with a smile on her lips, "He is a very interesting person."

"My elder sister thinks so too... Hehe, elder sister, you don't know what she was like before..."

Han Zixuan and Shen Qingxi returned to the mansion, and the whole family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank God I'm finally back. I thought you guys... It's good that you're back."

Han's father finally calmed down, muttering to himself.

"My lady, I'm so glad you're all alright..."

Han Zixuan quickly reassured everyone.

"Father, I'm so sorry to have worried you all, Bei Chen Jinglan. And my little darlings too..."

After settling her family members in and fulfilling all their requests during her absence, it was already late at night.

Han Zixuan couldn't sleep, so she got up and disappeared into the darkness.

After winding its way through several alleyways, it finally stopped in front of a wall in a hutong (alleyway).

Following Shi Yue's lead, he groped his way into the courtyard.

Her appearance startled the people in the yard, who were busy cleaning up.

In January, when people were arranging for Han Zixuan to appear, they thought they were seeing things.

"Han...Han Lady Queen?..."

Han Zixuan returned to the room on the second floor, where several figures were waiting outside the door.

September looked at the group suspiciously. "Which of you passed a message to Han Nujun? How did she know about our evacuation today?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison. Meteor said, "Didn't the Pavilion Master say that he would have no further dealings with this Han fellow?"

Why did you let her in in January? Why didn't you throw her out?

"Right Protector, listen to what you're saying! Don't you know how strong Lady Han is? If I were to make a move, I wouldn't even be able to dodge a single attack, let alone intercept her!"

Xinghai nodded in agreement, "Yes, if she's willing, I'm afraid even our branch won't be able to stop her."

The others nodded in agreement, and Meteor looked at them with a disappointed expression.

Shi Yue said slowly, "Alright, after all, Lady Han saved the Pavilion Master and is also the young master's birth mother."

It's normal to want to see them, so let's not be too hostile.

You see, the Pavilion Master didn't say anything, did he?

"Go back and pack your things, don't stay here any longer."

The group didn't move an inch. "Uh, the Left Protector's subordinates are here guarding the Pavilion Master."

"Uh, yes, I also want to stay by the Pavilion Master's side in case they start fighting, so we can go in and help him... cough cough."

Shi Yue squinted at them, "You're all trying to eavesdrop here, aren't you? And you're even helping the Pavilion Master."

Even the Pavilion Master can't defeat Lady Han, what are you lot good for? Get out of here!

Having their intentions exposed, the group looked around nervously before reluctantly leaving.

Seeing that the person had walked away, Shi Yue looked around, then leaned gently against the doorway, her ears perked up.

Inside the room, Han Zixuan sat on the edge of the small bed, watching Ye Lin sleeping soundly inside.

A slight smile played on his lips as he gently stroked her face with his fingers, his expression full of tenderness!

Yi Chen stood aside and watched this scene quietly, slightly taken aback.

We agreed never to see each other again. He slowly lowered his eyelids and said, "Why are you here!"

Han Zixuan stopped what she was doing and said gently, "You've come if you want to!"
