Shen Ling Jue mounted his horse, only to see Duan Liushao still standing by the suspension bridge, looking at Feng Ning Yan with a wicked look.

His gaze instantly turned cold as he shouted, "Duan Liushao, the reason I'm sparing your life this time is only because I've received your favor for my wangfei's sake. This King and Princess Wangfei will never show mercy to you on the next battlefield. If you know what's good for you, you can withdraw your troops as soon as possible! "

When he said "This King's Consort", Duan LiuShao's ears hurt when he heard it, and his face turned even darker.

Seeing how sad the crown prince was, Sang Huaiyu quickly advised, "Crown Prince, let's quickly return to the city and discuss further."

Feng Ning Yan raised her voice and said, "I will give you three days to prepare to withdraw your troops. Three days later, our Southern Ning Army will definitely withdraw back our Southern Yong Pass! Crown Prince Duan, you're so afraid of death, don't come out and fight next time, because you won't have a second chance to beg for forgiveness! "

Seeing that she truly regarded him as a person who was afraid of death, Duan Liushao could not help but bitterly smile.

There were so many people who loved each other in this world, but why was it that even though he was the crown prince of a country, he couldn't get his hands on the woman he loved?!

He was jealous of Shen Ling Jue, but he did not hate Feng Ning Yan.

Sang Huaiyu and Jiang Chongming hurriedly supported Duan Liushao as they walked step by step towards the Southern Yong Pass.

Back at the meeting hall of the city gate tower, Duan Liushao sat at the head of the table. Jiang Chongming prepared to place the Crown Prince's Coiling Dragon Moon-Shattering Sword onto the weapon rack.

"Hand it over!" Duan Liushao suddenly said.

Jiang Chongming cast a worried glance at Sang Huaiyu, but did not dare disobey. He could only pass the saber to Duan Liushao.

He gently wiped the blade with his fingertips, and the blade flashed with a cold light.

However, on the edge of the blade, the traces of Shen Lingjue's spear's attack could clearly be seen.

When they were fighting, Shen Lingjue had infused his inner strength into the spear, causing it to become extremely hard and even injuring this famous blade.

Duan Liushao's gaze suddenly dimmed.

"Three days later …" He loosened his grip on his saber. "Is there still a need to wait for three days later …"

Seeing that the Crown Prince had lost all his fighting spirit, Sang Huaiyu was anxious and quickly said, "Your Highness, the loss today is not considered a loss. It's just that we lost an opportunity to subdue Feng Ningyan. "War depends on the three armies, not on the marshal alone. You cannot be discouraged!"

Jiang Chongming hastened to chime in, "The Military Advisor is right. We still have three days. We have more than enough time to deploy more troops." Three days later, the reinforcements will arrive. We can still firmly guard the Southern Yong Pass and won't be able to leave, which is enough to give the Southern Ning Army a headache. "

However, Duan Liushao acted as if he didn't hear it. He still had a cold expression and looked as if he had nothing to live for.

Sang Huaiyu knew in her heart that the main reason why Duan Liushao was so depressed wasn't because of his loss.

His Highness the Crown Prince is a man who gets bolder and bolder as he goes down. However, today, it was not the war that struck him, but his beloved who was taken away by Shen Lingjue.

Feng Ning Yan was Duan Liushao's biggest sore point.

Sang Huanyu shook her head helplessly. She walked in front of the map and used a feather fan to brush away the dust on the map scroll.

"What a great river and mountain, and what a beautiful woman. Heroes, regardless of whether they win or lose, only depend on the outcome. "So, Your Highness, the fire in your heart is going to be extinguished just like this?"

Even if he didn't agree with Duan Liushao's choice, he could only say this in order to encourage the Crown Prince.

Duan Liushao shook when he heard this and slowly raised his head. His gaze revealed a bone-piercing coldness.

A dark cloud seemed to envelop his youthful face.

He suddenly stood up, walked down from his seat, and arrived in front of the map. He raised the Coiling Dragon Moonshatter Blade high up in the air, and with a loud shout, he swung it towards the map.

With a "chi la" sound, the map of Da Yue was torn apart by the blade and shattered into pieces by the shock wave from the blade.

Duan Liushao stared at the map fragment, his eyes filled with awe-inspiring hatred. There will be a day when he will make the Southern Wilderness stronger.

The dragon's teeth were embedded in his body.

Hua Ruyu was lying on the couch, one hand outstretched for the doctor to examine.

"There's no longer any problem with your injury, you just need to take the medicine on time and rest for a few days." After checking his pulse, the doctor stroked his beard and said, "Don't overwork yourself in the near future, in case your illness worsens. I believe it won't take ten days before you recover."

When Hua Ruyu heard that it would take another ten days to heal, a trace of hatred flashed past her eyes, and she impatiently said: "Alright, you can leave now! It's all useless! "

The doctor was not annoyed. He stroked his beard and got up to leave.

After he left, the servant girl quietly came in with a ginseng soup.

Flower Rain sat up and drank a cup of ginseng soup. As she savored the taste, she knew that the ginseng the doctor brought was not a rare item. She coldly snorted.

"When I was in the Residence of Prince Cheng, which day wasn't I drinking soup from a bird's nest?" Now I have to personally spend the money to get the medicine! Why isn't the Prince coming back yet? "

Shen Youhuang had clearly said a few days ago that she'd gone to the Dragon's Fang to force Feng Wei to hand over the military power. She didn't know what the result had been, but she'd left her in this place regardless of the consequences.

There were also the Southern Ning Army guarding outside the valley, it was really hard to gather information.

Hua Ruyu was so angry that she slapped the bowl of soup on the tray, only to have it hurt and grit her teeth in pain.

Thinking that she was injured because of Feng Ning Yan, a trace of hatred flashed through her eyes.

"Have you not found out anything about your highness? How do you do it? " she asked the servant girl.

The servant girl was a little scared, afraid that Hua Ruyu would lose her temper, but she also knew that if she took the silver from Hua Ruyu, she would have to speak the truth.

She timidly walked forward, came close to Hua Ruyu, and bowed as she said: "Reporting to the imperial concubine, this servant learned that a few days ago, the prince and General Feng were quarreling greatly. In a fit of anger, General Feng killed Eunuch Gao, and … "He even placed the prince under house arrest …"

"What!" When Hua Ruyu heard this, she immediately felt the pain from her wounds, and frowned. "How dare he imprison your highness! Your Highness is a military overseer! "

When she lost her temper, that female servant was so frightened that she hurriedly followed Hua Ruyu's thoughts and said:

"Yeah, I'm tired of living …" "But General Feng is loyal to the king, so he shouldn't have done this …" How would she have known that Shen Youhuang was going to force Feng Wei to hand over the military power? She thought it was just an ordinary quarrel.

Hua Ruyu said hatefully: "It must be Feng Ning Yan's instructions! This Feng family truly wants to rebel. Aren't they afraid that the prince will report to the emperor and punish them for their disrespectful crimes?! "

She cursed for a long time and threw a few things at her hands. Finally, she calmed down, threw out a few pieces of silver, and said to the servant girl: "Go and find out more! It would be better to know where the prince was being placed under house arrest! Once you have Xin'er, come and report to this consort right away! "

The servant girl tremblingly accepted the silver and left.

Hua Ruyu stood up and took a few steps. She felt that her injuries had improved somewhat, and now she could go out.

She paced back and forth a few times, thinking, What now?

She had already publicly pleaded guilty to bribing an assassin. If Shen Youhuang was unable to escape, she would no longer have protection. If the Azure Plum Guild's murderer was captured by County Governor Ning, wouldn't she be beheading him?

Just as she was thinking of a countermeasure, she suddenly heard a rough yet low voice come from outside the window: "Subordinate Pei Shi greets secondary wife."

Right, Pei Shi!

Only then did Hua Ruyu remember that Pei Shi had escaped from the explosion in the medicine hut and that Shen Youhuang had ordered someone to dig a cellar near the Gui Wu Sect so that he could recuperate. Now that he came out to pay his respects, he must have already recovered.

She immediately stood up in excitement and went to the window.
