The envoys from the three countries of Western Shu, Southern Zhao, and Eastern Sang inexplicably reached a consensus at this moment, all looking towards Han Zixuan.

Wu Yu and the Second Elder thought that as long as Han Zixuan died, they could escape the great calamity of Nanzhao...

Wen Qing pondered that if she could take this opportunity to eliminate Han Zixuan, Feng Lin would have no such formidable opponent, which would be a great help to Dong Sang Kingdom.

……

Rong Di looked smug. "Hmph, since Han Zixuan is so ungrateful, I'll teach her a lesson and make her lose faith in Feng Lin. Then I'll lend her a hand."

Han Zixuan would definitely be grateful to her and obediently return to Western Shu with her—it was simply a perfect opportunity…

Each of them had their own agenda, but Han Zixuan remained calm.

In response to Feng Xiyue's questioning, he simply recounted what had happened.

"It was this Lady Liu who wanted to poison me with a poisonous insect. I tried to dodge it, but the poisonous insect actually burrowed directly into Lady Liu's body."

Then, Prince Wuyu suddenly appeared and said something, and Lady Liu suddenly went berserk and charged at me.

Prince Wuyu's behavior was strange, which is why I attacked him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Yu scolded, "No... this is all nonsense you're spouting, Lord Han... it was clearly me who saw you attacking my Nanzhao envoy and went to stop you... that's what provoked you to attack me."

No, we absolutely cannot expose the Gu worm incident and let Han Zixuan escape so easily.

"Hmph, I thought all the people in Fenglin were people who dared to take responsibility, but I didn't expect there to be someone like Lord Han who shirks his duties..."

Feng Xiyue's expression was rather unpleasant at the moment, and she casually tossed her skirt aside.

“Prince Wuyu, I think you are being a bit too hasty… If Han Qing is truly at fault, I will naturally not protect him…”

But shouldn't Prince Wuyu let Han Qing finish speaking...? Not all the palace servants are blind.

Wu Yu then realized that she had indeed been too hasty. The Second Elder then said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I apologize to you. The young prince is simple-minded... He was probably frightened just now, which is why he spoke without thinking."

"I hope Your Majesty will not blame me..." Feng Xiyue's expression softened a little.

Let's turn our attention back to Han Zixuan.

Han Zixuan was looking at the Second Elder with a scrutinizing gaze, and the Second Elder's voice gave her a familiar feeling.

As if she'd heard it somewhere before, she narrowed her eyes slightly, tried to recall, and then her pupils suddenly widened...

The strange old man we encountered in Yuntian Prefecture was remarkably similar in both appearance and voice to the Second Elder of the Nanzhao Envoy.

Then I remembered that the special pill that the Dark Night Pavilion had investigated was also from the Southern Zhao Kingdom.

The old man's strange insect magic when he fled was similar to the Nanzhao people's skill in controlling insects and snakes.

Han Zixuan quickly began to think that the strange old man she had encountered earlier was probably from the Southern Zhao Kingdom.

And it is highly likely that it is the old man in front of you.

They had already infiltrated Fenglin, specifically targeting me. Why is Liu Jingyao now appearing with them, and even trying to cast a spell on me...?

What is their purpose...? A tangled mess of thoughts flashed through my mind.

She couldn't quite understand it...

The Second Elder, who was being stared at, felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and met Han Zixuan's eyes.

Han Zixuan immediately lowered her head to cover up her mistake, but then said calmly, "It was my fault for frightening the little prince on such an important occasion."

"And the envoys from various countries have disturbed your enjoyment..."

Now is not the time to argue, as Nan Zhao is not the only one who has opinions about her.

And then there's the inexplicable marriage alliance between Western Shu and her—how come all of these things are related to her…

No... I have to leave quickly, so I stopped insisting on getting an explanation.

Her sudden apology left everyone present completely baffled.

The warmth suddenly paused...

Feng Xiyue was stunned for a moment. What was wrong with Han Zixuan...?

Then Han Zixuan bowed deeply to Feng Xiyue and said, "Your Majesty, I was impolite in front of the palace and frightened the envoy. I will go down to receive my punishment."

"Ah... Oh, Han Zixuan is so audacious as to be so disrespectful to the envoy... Uh, it's a disgrace to the great nation of Fenglin... So, in order to give an explanation to all the countries..."

This will also give the young prince of Nanzhao an explanation. I will punish you severely. Guards, take Han Zixuan away and give her thirty lashes and a six-month salary deduction... the execution can proceed immediately.

Although she didn't know what kind of trouble Han Zixuan was up to, Feng Xiyue quickly cooperated and put on a show in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, I accept the punishment!"

Soon, three or five palace servants took Han Zixuan away.

Before the envoys from various countries could figure it out, Han Zixuan had already left!

Feng Xiyue stared intently at Wu Yu with a smile on her face, asking questions.

"Prince Wuyu, are you satisfied with my actions?"

Wu Yu blinked and hurriedly replied, "Uh...uh, thank you, Your Majesty, I am satisfied...!"

He glanced at the Second Elder and saw her nod at him.

We have no choice but to put this matter aside!

Then he slowly thought to himself, why is Han Zixuan so unpredictable and why did she admit her mistake so easily?

Before she could even use the excuse she had prepared, Han Zixuan was taken away.

The warm gaze of the spectator met the eyes of Rong Di.

Their eyes met, then parted in an instant.

Feng Xiyue then spoke up, "In that case, please continue with the banquet!"

And so, the crowd inexplicably followed them back into the main hall.

Meanwhile, Han Zixuan was led by Shadow to a side hall.

"Lady Han, will you wait here for His Majesty, or will you return to your residence on your own?"

Hit Han Zixuan... Hah, who would dare? They'd have a death wish!

The real key is to honestly serve people well.

Han Zixuan's gaze fell on the shadow, and her expression immediately changed.

"Shadow, can you tell me how many people are in your Dark Guard camp?"

Shadow looked wary, blinked a few times, and stammered, "Uh...uh...Lady Han...this, the Dark Guard Camp is personally under His Majesty's control...it...must not be revealed to anyone...!"

Han Zixuan glanced at her indifferently, "Hey, why are you so nervous... I can't do anything!"

Is she that scary?

Shadow unconsciously swallowed. "Then... what is the meaning of Lady Han's inquiry?"

Han Zixuan sighed and didn't hide the truth, "Sigh... I need some help with some things!"

I remember you guys were pretty skilled!

"Uh... Lady Han, I'm afraid that won't work... The secret guards only obey His Majesty's orders."

It means that asking won't help; everything depends on Feng Xiyue's orders.

Han Zixuan raised an eyebrow. "I know that... I'll tell her myself when His Majesty comes."

I just wanted to ask how many people I could borrow so I could see how many people would be suitable.
