After settling Ye Baili's problem, Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan headed back to the southern Ning military camp.

There was nothing out of the ordinary in the barracks.

Shen Youhuang had been waiting since morning for Pei Shi's good news, but when it was late in the morning, there was no reply from outside the camp.

There was something wrong with this situation. Gao Ying quietly sneaked into a corner where no one was around and released another carrier pigeon.

Waiting and waiting, Shen Youhuang could no longer hold it in as she paced back and forth in the tent like a cornered beast. Her expression was sinister, making Hua Ruyu by the side not dare to breathe.

At this time, Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue had already brought their horses back to camp. The horses continued to gallop into the camp and stopped outside Shen Youhuang's tent.

Seeing the two returning from outside, Gao Dazhi hurriedly entered the tent to report to them.

Shen Youhuang walked out of the tent and saw Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan on horseback. She slightly nodded with her hands behind her back. "Brother Yu and sister-in-law were in a good mood and left the camp early in the morning for the horse race?"

Shen Ling Jue gave a cold smile, "It's the princess who is worried about the soldiers. She was afraid that they might not have tidied up the Heng Wu Residence and got up early to check on the situation over there."

At this time, Hua Ruyu also walked out. Upon hearing Shen Lingju's words, she hurriedly bowed and thanked him, "I thank the prince and his wife for their concern."

Seeing her coquettish voice that exuded a fox-like aura, Feng Ning Yan recalled Yue Qing's infatuated expression last night.

She turned her face to the side, not wanting to look Hua Ruyu in the eye: "We have already cleaned up the mess over there. After the banquet, please ask Prince Cheng's wife to move to Heng Wu Residence. You are a real pain in the ass in my army camp in Ningnan. "

These words made Shen Youhuang a little angry. After all, Hua Ruyu was one of his men. To beat a dog depended on one's master. Feng Ning Yan wasn't going to give Hua Ruyu face in front of everyone, but she didn't put Prince Cheng in her eyes.

"What does Wangfei Yu mean by this?" Shen Youhuang cast a slightly dissatisfied glance at Feng Ning Yan and asked.

When Hua Ruyu saw that Shen Youhuang was standing up for her, she pursed her lips and smiled proudly.

"My meaning is very simple. Take good care of your side concubine …" Feng Ningyan spoke out the words in her heart without thinking.

But before she could finish, Shen Ling Jue raised his voice to interrupt her. Smiling, he said, "Princess's meaning is that the military camp is filled with reckless military men, and they are worried that the secondary imperial concubine would walk around randomly and violate the military rules without them knowing. At that time, it would be troublesome."

Feng Ning Yan was impulsive, but Shen Ling Jue was always calm.

There were many soldiers outside the tent. Even if King Yu and Prince Cheng had any conflicts between them, they couldn't show it in front of the soldiers. Otherwise, it would affect the morale of the troops.

Feng Ning Yan bit her lips, holding back the hatred in her heart and forced a smile. "That's right, the secondary wife should hurry up and pack her luggage. See you at the banquet."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands together and took his leave.

Gao Xin had been standing at the side with his head down, waiting for Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan to leave. He hastily walked up to his master and said in a low voice: "This wangfei is really too arrogant. Prince, with Feng Wei's support, this Yuwang couple simply doesn't put you, a military overseer, in their eyes …"

How could Shen Youhuang not know and need Gao Dazhi to explain it?

He gritted his teeth as he coldly stared at Feng Ningyan's back, his fists tightly clenched.

Everything had been wrong from the beginning.

He did not manage to find out that the young commander of the Southern Ning Army, Feng Yao, was the direct descendant of the General's Estate, Feng Ning Yan, and he had chosen the wrong woman at the banquet at the General's Estate.

If he had seen that Feng Ningyan was the direct descendant of the General's Estate, he would definitely have asked for her hand in marriage. How could he leave her to Shen Lingjue?

Being caught off guard by the Feng family's powerful backing had caused Shen Youhuang's path to ascension to the throne to be fraught with frustration, regret, and hatred.

Every time he saw her contemptuous gaze, he wished that he could ruthlessly crush her beneath his body until she died!

He turned around and walked into the tent, gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted in a low voice: "Why hasn't Pei Shi sent any news yet! Is this bastard dead? "

When Hua Ruyu saw the stern expression on Shen Youhuang's face, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. She hurriedly urged Gao Dazhi, "Eunuch Gao, hurry and investigate …"

He consoled Shen Youhuang as he spoke, "Your Highness, don't worry. That person has always handled matters steadily and will not have any problems."

Shen Youhuang shook her head, her heart full of suspicion. "Pei Shi is indeed reliable, but he's just a mere Ye Bailu. If things went well, he'd have succeeded long ago." So far, there has been no news, and none of the carrier pigeons have come back.

Thinking back to the relaxed and high-spirited manner Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan had when they returned to the camp earlier, Shen You Huang had a hunch that they weren't going out to check up on Heng City.

Pei Shi was most likely in trouble.

His intuition was proven in the following two hours.

The pigeons did not return until the luncheon.

If this did not mean that something had happened to Pei Shi, then there was no other explanation.

Shen Youhuang's connection with the outside world was suddenly severed.

Feng Ning Yan sent someone to invite Shen You Huang and Hua Ruyu to take their seats, and they both arrived at the marshal's tent.

Inside the pavilion, there were three tables placed side by side. In the middle of each table was a tiger skin screen.

At this moment, Feng Wei was sitting on the commander's seat in the middle. His shining armor, when compared to the tiger skin screen, seemed even more domineering, imposing and domineering.

What surprised Shen Youhuang the most was that there were two long tables placed on both sides of the podium, while Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan sat to the left of Feng Wei.

From the looks of it, King Yu and Prince Cheng were actually sitting on opposite sides of the commander's seat.

Shen Youhuang frowned and felt discontent, but her expression grew a bit colder.

He stopped in his tracks and clasped his hands behind his back. He stood together with Hua Ruyu on the same spot. He was extremely arrogant, and had no intention of taking a seat.

With such obvious dissatisfaction, Feng Wei, his daughter, and Shen Ling Jue naturally understood what was going on.

No matter what, the two princes had a much higher status than Feng Wei. The two of them should be the first one sitting, and Feng Wei should be accompanying them at the side.

Not to mention that Shen Youhuang was the overseer, which meant that she was the emperor. If he didn't take the throne, who else could?

But when Feng Wei glanced at Hua Ruyu and recalled the things Feng Ningyan had said the night before, the torments he suffered, and the life Lu Ruping had lost, he remained cold and silent. He paid no attention to Shen Youhuang at all.

Shen Lingjue lowered his gaze and lightly said, "Today, the King of Japan and General Feng will hold a welcoming reception for fourth brother. The banquet has been prepared, so fourth brother should be taking his seat."

Although these words were spoken in an extremely indifferent tone, they had a condescending tone to them.

When Shen You Huang and Hua Ruyu saw the father and daughter of the Feng family and Shen Ling Jue dare to look down on them, they were even more infuriated.

Shen Youhuang did not respond to Shen Lingjue's words and instead stared at Feng Wei. "Did General Feng not receive the imperial edict? This duke is a military overseer under the orders of the emperor. May I ask where the etiquette of the Southern Ning Army is from?

Feng Ning Yan laughed, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Up till now, the Southern Ning Army has never received any overseers, so they don't have any etiquette. In regards to such small details like red tape, it can't be helped but be somewhat brief, but we definitely will not be stingy with our food and wine, I hope that the military overseer can take a seat. "
