Prince Rong's little scheme was practically written all over his face!

Han Zixuan could only pretend to be persuaded by him.

Feng Yuntang started babbling on and on, as if she had flipped a switch.

Han Zixuan looked helplessly at the sun that was about to rise.

I really had no intention of listening anymore; I'd had enough of playing with her.

You should go home soon; your family must be very worried about you not coming home all night!

"Your Highness, Prince Rong...you see...you still have to go to the palace to meet the Emperor, and I'm in a hurry to get home too..."

Feng Yuntang then looked at the sky with a start, "I didn't expect it to be so late..."

I had a very pleasant conversation with Commandant Han today, but now I'm bothered by trivial matters. Let's talk about it another day!

Although I was a little reluctant, I managed to restrain myself and not be too hasty.

I also found Han Zixuan more pleasing to the eye.

Han Zixuan then left without lingering, and Feng Yuntang smiled as she watched her departing figure.

Suddenly, I remembered something; I was just about to ask Han Zixuan something…

When they tried to call out to Han Zixuan again, they found that Han Zixuan had already disappeared.

Upon arriving at the Ji residence, they found everyone waiting for them.

In order not to harm Han's father and the others, she secretly had Yingfeng and several other guards move them to the Ji family early on.

More than half of the people in the mansion were also sent to the Ji family.

He hadn't paid any attention to himself, but after one night, he still made them worry.

Han's father, along with Shen Qingxi and the others, anxiously peered out the door.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Han Zixuan return safely.

Han's father's eyes were slightly red as he carefully looked Han Zixuan up and down.

"Okay...okay...it's good that you're back."

Shen Qingxi and Ji Beichen both looked delighted. "My lady must be tired! Let's eat first!"

“Yes…yes…this morning is the first day of the Lunar New Year…”

Ji Xiao chuckled and said, "Hey, Sister Zixuan, hurry up and eat. I'm starving from staying up all night."

I still need to give out New Year's money to my nieces and nephews later!

"Okay... By the way, I, as Xiaojing's aunt, will also give her a big red envelope..."

While things were all smiles here, the post station was already in complete chaos.

The envoys huddled together, their faces growing increasingly grim.

"Oh, this is utterly absurd. This Fenglin Kingdom is completely unreasonable."

"They're being unreasonable, making such harsh demands."

It was done on purpose…

"Hmph. So what do you want now? We've already signed and sealed the agreement. If you don't give it to us, how are we supposed to survive?"

"Alas, that's two hundred thousand taels of silver! If the Queen knew, how could we possibly face returning home!"

"But if we don't give you the feeling that we might return to Kyoto alive!"

"So be it...so be it, let's just consider this money as payment for our lives..."

The thought that this money was for their lives made it seem like it wasn't much at all!

Although still somewhat angry, they ultimately had the upper hand.

Inside Rongdi's room, however, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Rongdi clutched his chest, enduring excruciating pain.

"Bring...someone...bring the Third Prince of Dongsang Kingdom here!"

It's all because of this Third Prince; otherwise, we wouldn't be in this state!

A moment later, Wen Qing, accompanied by Chen Pi, calmly entered Rong Di's room.

The room is now filled with envoys from the Western Shu Kingdom.

Everyone stared intently at the two of them!

Wen Qing showed no sign of hesitation, remaining calm and greeting him in a gentle voice, "Prince Rongdi! Princess Tana!"

Upon seeing him, Rong Di felt his blood boil and grabbed a teacup, smashing it at Wen Qing.

Wenqing did not shy away, letting the teacup shatter at her feet.

The tea instantly soaked his brocade robes, while Chen Pi, standing to the side, was very anxious.

She glared angrily at the Rongdi prince, then casually waved Chenpi aside.

He spoke slowly, "What does the Rongdi prince mean by this?"

Rong Di, supporting himself, said angrily, "What do you mean? Hmph, how could you not know?"

"Stop pretending. This is all a conspiracy by your Dongsang Kingdom." The tone was certain.

Wen Qing frowned and said innocently, "Prince Rongdi, I truly don't understand what you're saying?"

Although he already knew the outcome, he wouldn't admit it in Western Shu without concrete evidence.

Offending the Western Shu Kingdom now is not a wise move!

"What are you saying... Did you already know about Han Zixuan's situation?"

That's why they deliberately sent me there, and now I've ended up like this!

"And you'll be held accountable by the Fenglin Kingdom! You orchestrated all of this!"

After this ordeal, even the most naive person would realize that he had been used by the people of Dongsang Kingdom!

The envoy from the Western Shu Kingdom immediately turned hostile, casting a scrutinizing gaze upon the two.

Tana exclaimed, "Well, I never expected that the tiny Dongsang Kingdom would dare to scheme against my Xishu!"

"I think you all have a death wish!"

"Yes...you don't want to live anymore!"

Wen Qing, however, put on an innocent look and said in a deep voice.

"What are you saying? I don't understand anything."

And there were also the people from my Eastern Sang Kingdom who followed the Western Shu Kingdom yesterday.

Not a single person has returned yet, and His Highness is still unaware of yesterday's events.

Now that the Rongdi prince has come to interrogate me like this, shouldn't he tell me the reason for this crime?

Rong Di would no longer believe a single word of Wen Qing's words.

He frowned. "Hmph, don't try to act with me."

You have fought against Han Zixuan before and know that she is quite powerful.

However, they never told me the truth, which caused my Western Shu to suffer heavy losses.

You want to see us fight Feng Lin so you can profit from the situation, don't you...?

Rong Di's words actually guessed Wen Qing's true purpose.

The envoys from the Western Shu Kingdom were all shocked. "Oh, so that's how it is."

Your Dongsang Kingdom is truly treacherous, sowing discord..."

God knows, they came to Fenglin in the first place to make peace!

Now, because of the instigation of the Dongsang Kingdom, they have lost 200,000 taels of silver!

Looking at the heavily injured Rong Di, Wen Qing had already guessed everything.

But he still insisted firmly, "Prince Rongdi, don't spout nonsense. These are just your guesses."

We have fought with Han Zixuan before. Did you not know that Han Zixuan was skilled in martial arts?

Moreover, many people from my Dongsang Kingdom also participated in this matter.

The fact that the Rongdi prince is seriously injured is not due to my Dongsang Kingdom.

Of those who followed the Rongdi prince to the Dongsang Kingdom, not a single one returned.

Has this court ever sought an explanation from your Western Shu?

"You've already framed us; your Western Shu Kingdom is truly insidious!"

The Rongdi prince was immediately angered by Wen Qing's words and pointed angrily at her.

"You...you...you've really managed to wash your hands of this! Humph, well, I misjudged you, I underestimated you!"

Unexpectedly, Rongdi would suffer two setbacks in a row one day.

Wen Qing pursed his lips slightly, constantly observing the actions of the Western Shu Kingdom.

Knowing that the Rongdi had returned severely wounded, they knew the plan had failed.
