Although Shen Youhuang was a bit haggard before she entered, she still had a proud and arrogant look on her face.
He had thought that the imperial edict was coming from the capital, so Feng Wei and Feng Ningyan had no choice but to obey and release him.
When she thought of how the imperial edict must have dealt with the Feng father and daughter, they were immediately met with great misfortune. The military power naturally fell into the hands of the military overseer, and Shen Youhuang had a trace of a malicious, mocking smile on her face.
However, just as he walked into the camp, he immediately saw Shen Ling Jue, who was seated next to Feng Wei!
What's going on! Didn't Shen Ling leave Ningnan already? Why was he still here, acting so intimate with Feng Ningyan?
Feng Wei's complexion looked much better, and at the side, Commander Li Pei and Liao Guangwen from the Crimson Flame Battalion were sitting by the side, and both of their injuries were healed as well.
He looked forward to the imperial edict, but there was no sign of a eunuch.
Shen Youhuang's face immediately darkened a bit.
Could it be that it wasn't the Emperor who issued the imperial edict that allowed Feng Wei to release him?
Hua Ruyu at the side was already pretending to wipe her tears away with a handkerchief. She walked up and called out weakly, "Prince, chenqie has been worried these past few days that I can't eat or sleep well …"
She leaned into Shen Youhuang's arms and pretended to whisper to her husband and wife. She took the opportunity to tell Shen Youhuang briefly about the robbery of the military intelligence report and the fact that Pei Shi had rewritten his report to escort her into the capital.
Shen Youhuang relaxed and a hint of a cold smile appeared on her face.
Let Duan Liushao go? Wasn't this the proof of the name of colluding with the enemy?
As long as they entered the capital, Royal Father would definitely not tolerate his subordinate, the general, betraying the nation. He would definitely support them!
Shen Youhuang looked at Hua Ruyu with quite a bit of approval. She didn't mind acting out a couple relationship. She gently caressed her face and said affectionately, "It's been hard on you, Imperial Consort."
Feng Ning Yan didn't want to see the two of them standing there in front of everyone's eyes, so she had Li Yao make room for him and let Shen You Huang and Hua Ruyu sit.
Shen Youhuang smiled, "It looks like General Feng and Princess Yu know that being placed under house arrest is a grave sin. Do you want to apologize to me?" Very good, a wise man is the best. "
As he spoke, he sat down, poured himself a cup, and finished it in one gulp.
"Good wine!"
When Hua Ruyu heard this, she hurriedly poured another cup for him.
Feng Ningyan's good mood had already been ruined by these two people. She couldn't help but turn her face away, not wanting to look at them.
Shen Ling Jue knew that she had been harmed by Shen You Huang and Hua Ruyu time and time again, but because of her identity as a royal clansman and military overseer, he couldn't do anything to her. He felt unhappy about it, so he helped her place some food on her plate and said softly, "My wife, don't be angry. It's not that time has not come yet."
Feng Ning Yan turned to look at Shen Ling Jue's gentle gaze and couldn't help but smile. She then lowered her head and continued to eat, no longer paying attention to Shen You Huang and the rest.
Shen Youhuang gritted her teeth as she sipped her wine and cast a sidelong glance at Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan.
He swirled the wine cup in his hand and thought of the scene in the prison of the Southern Yong Pass.
That time in the prison, he had willed something against Feng Ning Yan and almost succeeded. From then on, the image of her blurry eyes and the faint orchid fragrance on her body frequently appeared before his eyes.
Now that he saw Feng Ningyan again, he couldn't help but look at her. What he saw instead was her and Shen Ling Jue's intimate relationship.
Shen Youhuang only felt that the scene in front of her eyes was too glaring. The flames of jealousy burned fiercely in her chest as she wanted to break their sweet world.
He raised his wine cup, put on a fake smile, and said to Shen Ling Jue in a loud voice: "Today we are fortunate to have General Feng as our host, so we will all drink such a good wine, and we will also offer this as a gift and toast Brother Yuwang. I hope Brother Wang will not hold back on his past grudges, and that us brothers will work together to retreat from the enemy."
Saying that, he raised his cup and toasted Shen Ling Jue.
Shen Lingjue raised his cup and drank it coldly without a trace of politeness. He did not wait for Shen You Huang to shout. Anyone could tell that he was looking down on her.
When Hua Ruyu saw that Shen Yushi had toasted, she mimicked her father's actions. She poured a cup of wine and said to Feng Ning Yan:
"Cousin, Ruo Yu is here to apologize to you as well. Ruo Yu is the one who isn't well versed in the ruckus. Thank you for your magnanimity and magnanimity, giving Ruyu the chance to correct her mistakes."
That coquettish, sweet smile on her face, how could she sincerely feel remorse?
Feng Ning Yan's gaze swept past the woman with snakes and scorpions, landing on her hands that were holding the wine cup.
These hands were slender and fair, clearly having been meticulously maintained. However, it was stained with the fresh blood of Yue Qing and the dozens of members from the Green Plum Guild.
How could she, Feng Ningyan, possibly drink this wine that she had offered with both hands!
Feng Ning Yan did not raise her glass, but said coldly: "When did I say I would forgive you? Don't forget, you are an accomplice that has disrupted the morale of the troops, causing the death of Vice General Yue and so many of our brothers in the Crimson Flame Battalion. "
When Feng Ning Yan's words came out, the hall instantly became silent. Everyone's gaze turned towards her.
Hua Ruyu did not expect Feng Ning Yan to suddenly make a move, so she panicked a little. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she hurriedly kneeled down and cried:
"Cousin, Ruo Yu really knows her wrongs. Ruo Yu made a trip to hell and luckily survived, and it was the heavens that gave Ruo Yu the chance to turn over a new leaf. Ruo Yu will definitely not do anything to harm uncle and cousin again! Cousin, please don't hand Ruo Yu over to County Governor Ning. Ruo Yu doesn't want to go to jail! "
Her eyes blinked, and tears came as soon as she said it. As she cried, she also had a charming charm.
When Shen Youhuang saw Hua Ruyu plead for mercy to Feng Ningyan, she was a bit displeased. She reached out a hand to help her up and said:
"Ruo Yu has already committed suicide to apologize. This means that she wants to repay the debt with her life! What could be more valuable than sincere repentance? She was lucky enough to survive. Do you really have to put your cousin to death? "
Listening to Shen Youhuang's harsh words about protecting the flowers, Shen Lingjue suddenly said in a cold voice,
"Prince Cheng is a loyal man who did not hesitate to cover up for his beloved concubine. Do you think that if she stabbed herself, she would be able to escape interrogation and punishment? So many people had died because the murderer was a noble person. For that reason, County Governor Ning could practice favoritism and flout the law. Did he not have to account to the commoners in Ningnan? "
Shen Youhuang said firmly, "No matter what, this duke is still Prince Cheng! If that County Governor Ning Nan doesn't want to be an official of this Great Yue State, he can just ask him to arrest the other consort! "
His words were full of threats and he almost made it clear that if Qi Cang dared to arrest Hua Ruyu, not only would Shen Youhuang save her, she would also use her own power to deal with Qi Cang.
"You!" Feng Ning's cigarette smoke rose up from the table, but Shen Ling Jue lightly grabbed onto the corner of her robe and whispered, "Yan'Er, Qi Cang did not achieve his current status so easily. The peace of the Southern Ning Army is dependent on General Feng.
Feng Ningyan's heart skipped a beat and she slowly sat down.
Shen Ling Jue was telling her that it wasn't worth it to make Qi Cang sacrifice himself just to punish a little bit of Flower Rain.
Moreover, he had yet to snatch the Southern Yong Pass back. The situation was grim, and if he were to try to act conceited and leave County Governor Ning's position in the sky, then the rear would not be peaceful and the frontline would suffer.
Feng Ning Yan lowered her eyes to look at Hua Ruyu and thought to herself, For the sake of Lord Qi, I can only let this woman go temporarily. Furthermore, the culprit is Shen You Huang. Sooner or later, I'll settle this debt!
Hua Ruyu tremblingly knelt on the ground and toasted, waiting for Feng Ning Yan to come pick her up.
However, once he thought of how Hua Ruyu had poisoned him time and time again, Feng Ning Yan couldn't drink her wine.
Accept, or not accept?
