Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband
Chapter 449 Liu Jingyao's Purpose
His mind snapped to attention, and Rong Di shouted sharply to stop Tana, who had already assumed an attack stance: "Tana! Don't be so presumptuous!"
At this moment, to attack and injure an official in the Fenglin court would be tantamount to pushing Western Shu into an abyss of no return.
He keenly sensed that Han Zixuan's words, each one piercing to the heart, were clearly a trap deliberately set to provoke trouble.
Tana froze abruptly. She turned around sharply and met Rong Di's sharp, hawk-like warning gaze. The murderous aura that had been rising around her instantly dissipated.
He then reluctantly withdrew his fist, but the anger burning in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest as he stared intently at Han Zixuan's figure.
Noticing the scrutinizing gazes of everyone in the hall, Rong Di quickly composed himself and bowed slightly to Feng Xiyue.
The silver cloud patterns on the dark brocade robe flowed with his movements: "Your Majesty, please forgive my sister's rashness and impetuosity. On behalf of the Western Shu Kingdom, I apologize to you."
Feng Xiyue raised her eyes and chuckled softly, her eyes trembling slightly with her laughter: "Princess Tana's heroic bearing reminds me of the gray wolves of the Northern Frontier."
Beneath the seemingly gentle tone lay a sharp edge. The envoys from Western Shu exchanged bewildered glances, only realizing belatedly that cold sweat had seeped down their backs.
Rong Di unconsciously stroked the jade pendant at his waist, his tone growing colder: "Your Majesty, the Western Shu has traveled thousands of miles for the sake of peace between our two nations. This way of treating guests is truly disheartening. If there is no sincerity, then this peace talk is probably..." Before he could finish speaking, the threat was already palpable.
Feng Xiyue clapped her hands and laughed, but her laughter was chilling: "Is the Rongdi prince threatening me? Fenglin has been established for a hundred years and has always treated people with sincerity, but it is not a pushover."
She suddenly stopped smiling, her phoenix eyes sharp as knives: "Putting aside the fact that it was your Western Shu Kingdom that was impolite first, I still gave Western Shu a great deal of face."
You've certainly taken advantage of me, becoming increasingly picky. As for what Commandant Han said, I didn't find anything wrong with it. But I'd like to ask, how much sincerity does your country truly possess?
Rong Di frowned and looked at Feng Xiyue. After a long silence, he said, "Your Majesty Feng Lin is overthinking this. This was originally a friendly exchange between our two countries, and we had no intention of provoking your country..."
The envoy from Western Shu also stepped forward and said, "Since the two countries have some disagreements about the marriage alliance, it would be better to put this matter aside for now."
"The most important thing is still peace and harmony between the two countries for a century..."
Feng Xiyue sighed softly, her expression softening slightly. "Hmph, fine, we'll discuss this matter later..."
It is indeed inappropriate to create too much tension in front of envoys from various countries.
These words immediately eased the tense atmosphere in the hall somewhat, and Rongdi and Tana bowed and sat back down at the table.
But their gazes fell fiercely on Han Zixuan, who only glanced at them indifferently, looking completely unconcerned.
With a tender gaze sweeping over the Western Shu delegation and then back at Han Zixuan, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind. His eyelids lowered, and a faint smile curved his lips, unnoticed by anyone.
The banquet continued, but the atmosphere was somewhat strange. When Han Zixuan turned her gaze towards Liu Jingyao, she found that Liu Jingyao was no longer in her usual spot.
Looking around, one could see a figure standing outside the palace gate.
As dusk deepened outside the palace, Liu Jingyao stood sideways on the edge of the doorway, half of her body immersed in the deepening shadows, while the other half was illuminated by the flickering candlelight, making her appear particularly strange.
Liu Jingyao lowered her eyes to look at Han Zixuan outside the threshold. Her eyelashes cast spider web-like shadows on her pale face, but the corners of her lips curled up strangely.
He beckoned his finger in Han Zixuan's direction, and before Han Zixuan could respond, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Han Zixuan frowned, looking puzzled. Both Liu Jingyao's appearance and her strange behavior aroused her great interest.
Looking again at the young man named Wu Yu from the Southern Zhao Kingdom, Han Zixuan pretended not to notice the hint of helplessness that flashed across his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he realized that there must be something hidden between Nan Zhao and Liu Jingyao.
Although she didn't know their intentions, Han Zixuan still decided to go and see. After all, Liu Jingyao was the female lead here, and it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't do anything detrimental to her under the protection of the Heavenly Dao.
Since we can't kill her, let's see what she's up to...
Then he slowly got up and left the main hall.
As soon as she made a move, several pairs of eyes fell on her.
Han Zixuan chuckled softly; it seemed that quite a few people were paying attention to her.
However, she didn't pay much attention and left the main hall on her own.
In the cool hall not far from the main hall, Liu Jingyao was seen sitting upright.
Han Zixuan smiled slightly at the palace servants standing around her and slowly walked closer.
He silently approached Liu Jingyao.
Even though Liu Jingyao pretended to be shocked, the fear in her heart still made her body tremble slightly.
Trying to calm herself down, she spoke first, in a questioning tone.
"Han Zixuan, you didn't expect to see me again, did you..."
Han Zixuan smiled slightly and said, "I really didn't expect that!"
"Hmph, let me tell you... you can't hurt me..."
I am a celestial being descended from the God of Literature; Heaven will not let you off the hook…
Han Zixuan said calmly, "So what? What are you going to do... announce to the world that I am a monster...?"
It would be a miracle if anyone believed such a foolish act!
Liu Jingyao looked intently at Han Zixuan; she had indeed had such thoughts.
But no one believed it. On the contrary, the people of Nanzhao were particularly excited, saying that they could subdue Han Zixuan.
All she had to do was plant the Gu worms on Han Zixuan's body, as Wu Yu had instructed.
The other issues will be resolved by Wu Yu and the Second Elder, and she will be able to return to a normal life.
To distract Han Zixuan from her new life of taking the imperial examinations, Liu Jingyao questioned her.
"Of course we have to say it. You monster have even entered the imperial court. Are we just going to watch you wreak havoc on Fenglin Kingdom?"
If you obediently surrender, you might still live; otherwise…
"Or what? Do you think anyone would believe you if you said it?"
With Liu Jingyao's brain, she actually used this to threaten her.
Her previous assumptions really overestimated her.
Once Liu Jingyao recalled Han Zixuan's current identity.
There were also praises for Han Zixuan from Kyoto...
If I were to actually say it, no one would believe me.
But her mind was filled with everything that had happened to Han Zixuan since she appeared.
They stole her Qingxi River and the title of a scholar; everything Han Zixuan has now should rightfully belong to her.
She stole everything from me, and now she's still so arrogant. I can no longer suppress my emotions.
My palms were already wet when I suddenly remembered the Gu worm I was holding.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he slowly approached Han Zixuan. "Hmph, so what if no one believes you... You monster won't be able to be arrogant for long."
Han Zixuan frowned as she watched Liu Jingyao's constantly shifting emotions.
And with her approaching footsteps, he became wary.
Sure enough, after Liu Jingyao finished speaking, her face became extremely ferocious and she suddenly pounced on Han Zixuan.
