Feng Ning Yan leisurely tapped Shen Ling Jue's lips, "You're really bad, you want me to be unable to ride a horse again?"

As he spoke, he pushed him away from the bed and walked to the door with his hands behind his back. He stretched lazily under the sunlight and said, "Rest well.

Finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Shen Ling Jue, smiled mischievously yet arrogantly, and walked out.

Shen Ling stared at her back in despair, his eyes filled with doting.

Feng Ning Yan walked out of the tent into the warm sunlight. Not far away, two lines of patrolling guards valiantly walked over, listening to the orderly sounds of the infantry unit's training. This kind of familiar feeling was really good.

If the Southern Wilderness didn't send out war and Shen Youhuang wasn't a military overseer, how wonderful would that be? She could now be like an ordinary little woman, holding her husband's arm, sightseeing and spending her time.

However, she knew that it was impossible.

This was because Shen Youhuang and the others had most likely arrived near Celestial Wolf Mountain.

Furthermore, according to the news from the Southern Wilderness branch, the Southern Wilderness' Crown Prince Duan Liushao invited his personal guards to set off.

Feng Ning Yan was walking alone in the army camp. When the soldiers saw her, they would automatically salute on the spot. She lightly nodded their heads and smiled.

Those familiar faces that couldn't be called by name had long been reduced to ashes like fireworks after the dragon-tooth battle in his previous life.

Now that she saw them still standing in front of her, Feng Ningyan was extremely touched and even more determined to protect the Southern Ning Army.

At this moment, on the official road south of the Wolf Ivory Mountain, the personal guards of the Prince Cheng's mansion opened the way as they escorted a luxurious carriage over.

The tassels hanging outside the carriage began to shake violently. The woman inside the carriage couldn't stand the shaking anymore. Her face was as white as paper and her body was weak.

She covered her mouth with the brocade handkerchief and clutched the window, but because she had vomited several times, there was nothing left to vomit.

She looked at the man resting with his eyes closed and said timidly, "Prince, can you stop the car and let Ruyu rest for a while …"

Shen Youhuang slowly opened her eyes after a long while and gave a faint smile. She handed her a candy and gently stroked her face. "Persevere! We'll be in Ningnan soon."

Hua Ruyu painfully lowered her head. After touching such a soft nail, she couldn't ask for more.

He put the sour and sweet candied fruit into his mouth, but felt that it was extremely bitter. Just as he ate it, he couldn't help but throw up some gallbladder water on the car window.

Shen Youhuang supported her and gave her some water to drink.

Hua Ruyu grasped the water bag and rinsed her mouth. She lifted her head to look at Shen You Huang, her eyes filled with hidden bitterness.

Shen Youhuang's smile however, was as gentle as ever. "Ruyu, don't blame this duke for travelling day and night without rest and not caring for your body. This King really has no choice. "

Flower Rain leaned on his shoulder, gentle as a fawn.

"Your Highness, Ruo Yu doesn't understand. Your orders have already been passed down. The Feng family and King Yu can only obediently receive them. Why are you still in such a hurry to go to Dragon Fang?"

"It's not good for women to ask so many questions." Shen Youhuang's smile was filled with killing intent as sharp as knives.

He had come to Ningnan because he had received news that Ye Bailu had produced a batch of antidotes.

This news has already spread throughout the martial arts world, and those killers with the poison Gu must already know.

In order to continue controlling the killers, Shen Youhuang needed to find Ye Bailu before the killers were in his power.

Who would have thought that the people he sent to the Southern Wilderness didn't find Ye Bailu, so he suspected that Ye Bailu was probably protected by Feng Wei, who was the closest to the Southern Wilderness.

So this time, not only did Shen Youhuang want to compete for military merits with Shen Lingjue, but more importantly, she wanted to kill Ye Bailu and eliminate all future troubles. She wanted to make those assassins loyal to him forever.

Hua Ruyu couldn't see through his intentions at all. She only knew that in his eyes, she was just a pawn. Including the time he brought her back to Ningnan County, it wasn't to save her relations, but because she still had value.

She gritted her teeth and endured the discomfort she felt as she looked foolishly at Shen You Huang. "Yes, Your Highness. Ruo Yu won't ask questions she shouldn't have in the future. Ruo Yu will only listen to Your Highness."

"That's right." Shen Youhuang smiled in satisfaction as she took another candy from the fruit plate and placed it in Flower Rain's mouth. "As long as you listen to me obediently, you'll be this king's most beloved woman."

Hua Ruyu smiled sweetly, but her heart was extremely cold.

She couldn't help but imagine what it would be like for Feng Ningyan on her way back to the provincial capital of Ningnan.

Thinking of this, it was as if she could see Shen Ling being protected by Feng Ning Yan. The close intimacy between them was in stark contrast to her current bleak situation.

She hated him to the extreme. She hated Feng Ning Yan to the extreme, as well as Shen Ling Jue. She also hated Shen You Huang beside her …

She hated that the heavens were unfair. She hated that all of her luck had fallen on Feng Ningyan's head. She hated that her parents died too early, leaving her no one to rely on …

With hatred in her eyes, she wished she could reach the dragon's teeth as soon as possible, so she didn't mention a single word of rest.

That night, Prince Cheng's convoy arrived at Dragon Fang. The city gate guards had confirmed his identity, so they respectfully welcomed him into the camp.

At this time, Feng Wei was in the middle of discussing matters with Feng Ning Yan, Shen Ling Jue and the military general. After hearing from the guard's report that Prince Cheng had entered the Dragon Fang, the generals arranged their military uniforms and followed Feng Wei to the main entrance of the camp to receive him.

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Wei were the first to arrive outside the camp and saw Shen You Huang alighting from the carriage.

Following that, another person walked down from the carriage. He was dressed in complicated palace attire, and his entire body was covered in jewelry, jade, and accessories. His steps were extremely heavy.

Feng Ning Yan was behind Shen Ling Jue and saw Hua Ruyu at first glance.

"Why is she here as well?!"

Feng Wei did not hear Feng Ningyan's surprised cry. Seeing Hua Ruyu, he was both surprised and happy.

After all, she was his own little sister's only daughter. Since she was young, she had always been pampered by Feng Wei, afraid that she would suffer even the slightest bit of grievance and let down her dead sister, Feng Qingluan.

This was also the reason why Feng Ningyan never mentioned to her father Hua Ruyu's true colors, as well as all the heartless things she had done.

Feng Wei dismounted from his horse excitedly and bowed towards Shen Youhuang. "Your subject greets Your Highness Prince Cheng and the side concubine."

Hua Ruyu's eyes reddened as she knelt and kowtowed. "My niece kowtows to uncle. Many thanks to uncle for raising me …"

Feng Wei was startled and wanted to help out, but he was afraid that Shen Youhuang would accuse him of being impolite. He couldn't help but raise his hand and call out, "Consort, get up quickly. This subject doesn't dare …"

He said to Feng Wei, "The general doesn't need to tremble in fear. In the end, he's still a family. Don't split up just because Ruo Yu married Ben Wang. Wouldn't that be the king's fault?"

Hua Ruyu's tears fell, "Uncle, Ruyu misses you so much …" As he spoke, he held onto Feng Wei's hand and sobbed.
