The dragon's teeth were clenched.

After the rumours subsided, Feng Wei fell ill. When Shen Ling Jue left the Southern Ning military camp, Feng Ning Yan had no choice but to shoulder the heavy responsibility of becoming a Young Marshal and rush to the Southern Yong Pass to provide support.

After Shen You Huang had carried away Flower Rain, no one was able to find fault with her spreading rumors about Feng Ning Yan and Yue Qing. This made Shen You Huang think that Hua Ruyu had healed her wounds and placed her in Heng City.

At this moment, Hua Ruyu was lying on the bed. Her face was pale, but her shoulder was already bandaged. Her wound was accurately inserted into her shoulder, a distance away from her heart.

Shen Youhuang sat on the edge of the bed and helped her up while a maidservant fed her medicine.

Hua Ruyu raised her head, tears welled up in her eyes. "Your Highness, hurry and return to the Ning Nan army camp. It's fine if there's a maid waiting on you here."

Shen Youhuang said coldly, "Ruoyu, you've done well this time. Don't worry. Although the Feng family hasn't been overthrown, you've still forced King Yu away."

"What?" Hua Ruyu did not expect that after admitting to all her sins, the Feng family had already retreated from the rumours. Yet, Shen Lingjue actually left.

Shen You Huang smiled sinisterly, "That's right. Feng Ning Yan insisted on going with Shen Ling Jue. She personally presented the blood seal in front of Shen Ling Jue, forcing him to leave. "This woman is truly extraordinary …"

Hua Ruyu unhappily said in a spoiled manner, "This time, I was willing to sacrifice my life for your highness, but I didn't hear you praise me …"

Shen Youhuang smiled and lifted her chin. "You're right. The imperial concubine has great intelligence and courage as well. It's us two that win if we keep this duke's honesty."

Only then did Hua Ruyu smile, "Your highness, Ruyu's blade attack cannot be endured for nothing. "You must overthrow the Feng family and avenge me!"

Shen Youhuang's smile chilled. "I must take revenge for this grudge!"

However, how should he report this?

Despite the fact that Feng Wei was sleeping quietly outside, there was still Feng Ningyan.

She alone led five thousand soldiers of the Crimson Flame Battalion and was able to defeat them in a row in the Southern Yong Pass. Such a powerful woman had the hearts of the Southern Ning Army deeply. At this critical juncture, it was simply too difficult to overthrow the Feng Family.

"Now that the military situation in the Southern Yong Pass is urgent, let's wait for the war to subside before we make any plans." His eyes were cold as he said.

When Hua Ruyu heard this, she became anxious. "Your highness is confused. Isn't the battle at the Southern Yong Pass a good opportunity to overthrow the Feng family?"

Shen Youhuang hadn't thought that Hua Ruyu would think this way. He took the medicine from the maidservant's hands, scooped a spoonful, and slowly fed it into Hua Ruyu's mouth, appearing exceptionally considerate.

"Reason?"

Hua Ruyu quickly drank the medicine and endured the pain, "Aren't we spreading rumors to shake the Feng family's position in the Southern Ning army, giving them no right to command the army anymore? Now that Feng Wei had fallen ill, only Feng Ning Yan was left, unable to hold on to everything. "If at this time, Feng Ningyan suffered a defeat or acted as an enemy and sold out the country, then …"

Shen Youhuang immediately put down her medicine bowl and dismissed everyone when she finished speaking.

"Ruyu, you've really thought of a good plan …"

He stood up and paced slowly, the smile on his face growing more sinister.

"If the Southern Yong Pass falls because of Feng Ning Yan's interference, then what qualifications does the Feng family have to lead the troops? "Feng Wei must hand over the military power, and if the father and daughter pair can't survive, then the Southern Ning Army will naturally fall into my, Shen You Huang's, hands!"

At this moment, he no longer cared about the safety of the Southern Yong Pass or the peace of Ningnan County.

What he cares about the most is, when Shen Ling Jue leaves the Southern Ning Army's camp, he must seize the military power of the Southern Ning Army as fast as possible.

As long as he had a huge army of a hundred thousand, he would be able to easily become Crown Prince, and even sit on the throne very quickly!?

As he thought of this, a tinge of gentleness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Hua Ruyu.

It was as if Hua Ruyu was once again seeing the gentle voice of the gentle prince that was wiping away her tears in the garden at the back of the general's manor.

She was glad that she was of some use to him. Otherwise, even if she had killed herself yesterday, he probably wouldn't have shed a single tear.

As she watched Shen You Huang leave excitedly, she couldn't help but recall the sorrowful expression on Shen Ling Jue's face when Feng Ning Yan brought up the idea of leaving.

He wished that the person in his heart would never be separated from him.

As a girl, the one she loved was clearly Shen Ling Jue, a man of deep love, but if Feng Ning Yan hadn't stolen the medicinal wine that she gave to Shen Ling Jue and ruined her plans, then she would have been Princess Yu, Hua Ruyu.

She definitely would not encourage Shen Ling Jue to ascend the throne. She would rather protect her man and live a peaceful life …

Thinking of this, Hua Ruyu's eyes lit up with a teary light, and she said while gnashing her teeth: "Feng Wei, Feng Ning Yan! You forced me to spend money so far like the rain! "You broke my good marriage, how can I let you have it easy!"

At this time, on the tower of the Southern Yong Pass, Feng Ningyan, Liao Guangwen, and Sima Du had already finished a jar of wine and eaten five catties of cooked beef. They were so full that they couldn't even sit up, so they could only lie down on the roof and bask in the sun.

The sunlight was really too warm. When it shone on Feng Ning Yan's face, a cool breeze brushed against it. It was also very warm, but it made her feel a little drowsy.

In her haziness, it was as if she had returned to Prince Yu's Mansion. Within the small pavilion, she drank with Shen Ling. While she was basking in the sun, he leisurely played the zither …

Her heart suddenly hurt, causing her to suck in a breath of cold air as she sat up.

Just then, a soldier suddenly ran over from below and shouted towards the roof: "Reporting to the Young Marshal, General Sima! This is bad! "

Sima Du hated people who were shocked the most. He angrily stood up, jumped off the roof, and asked, "What are you so flustered about? Didn't you see that the Young Marshal is resting!? "

Feng Ningyan frowned and sat up. "General Sima, I'm not asleep either. Let me ask you something first."

That soldier hastily cupped his fists and said, "The secret sentries set up in the mountain passes to the east and west of the Southern Yong Pass have all been taken care of by the enemy forces!"

"What!" Sima Du grabbed the young soldier's collar, "The mountain pass is difficult to traverse and the hidden sentries are extremely hidden. How could they be discovered by the enemy!"

The soldier shook his head. "I don't know …" "Only one centurion came out of the West Mountain's secret sentry, and by the time we reached the Southern Yong Pass, he was already seriously injured …"

"Bastard!" Sima Duo didn't think that his secret sentry post would be taken away by the enemy at the same time.

There were no roads in the mountains of the East Mountain and the West Mountain. However, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking around the mountain pass to the South and Yong Pass and working with the enemy on the outside, Sima Du had ordered his men to set up sentries in those two places.

Although there weren't many people, they were equipped with equipment and could occupy the high ground. As long as enemy troops passed by, they would definitely be able to take them down in one fell swoop.

But who would have thought that these two hidden guards would both be broken by the enemy at the same time!

When Feng Ningyan heard this, she sucked in a breath of cold air, jumped down from the roof and asked, "Have the enemy troops passed any sentries yet? Which general of our army is going to stop us? What other important information did that Centurion bring with him? "

The soldier became even more flustered as he faced Feng Ningyan. "This one was ordered to notify the general and the young marshal. I didn't know about the others, but I knew that the overseer, His Highness Duke Cheng, had arrived on his horse and was questioning …"
