Duan Hua Yin was a princess of the Southern Wilderness, so it was reasonable for him to be worried about her.

When Shen Youhuang heard this, she felt a sense of pride. After all, the assassination attempt had been a great success and although she hadn't found the corpses of Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan, it was still a blemish to say that one of them had been seriously injured and the other had been poisoned and had no chance of surviving.

He sneered and turned to comfort Duan Huanyin, "Princess can be at ease with this matter. With me here, I will only hold the culprit responsible. I will not implicate the two countries in this."

When Duan Hua Yin saw that he didn't have a single trace of sadness on his face, a trace of a smile flashed across his eyes. He couldn't help but confirm his guess in his heart that the killer was definitely not some handicapped veteran from the Southern Wilderness!

Otherwise, why would Shen Youhuang have no hate, fear, and an air of complacent complacency when King Yu died?

It looked like those assassins were Shen You Huang's men. It was no wonder that Feng Ning Yan was unwilling to speak openly when brothers fought over the main branch …

Duan Hua Yin's thoughts spun again and again, but he didn't reveal the slightest bit of his thoughts. Instead, he let out a sigh of relief, as if he was slightly relieved.

"Thank you for your grace, your highness! Since Your Highness has promised so, Hua Yin will not be worried anymore. "

With that, she bowed. Her actions were graceful and delicate, her waist was weak without any bones, and her movements were like Liu Fufeng; they were extremely moving.

Shen Youhuang's heart thumped and she couldn't help but reach out to support her. Her tone was full of emotion as she said, "Your lordship has seen the princess and knows that the beauty of the Southern Wilderness isn't inferior to Da Yue. Truly pleasing …"

When Duan Hua Yin heard this, his face instantly flushed red. He lowered his head and timidly withdrew his hand.

"Your Highness …" "You're too kind …"

Shen Youhuang chuckled softly when she saw this and released her.

Shen Youhuang was still standing in front of the Palace after Duan Huanyin had walked far away. Her gaze was still fixed on her figure as she seemed to be deep in thought.

Jing Yue turned back to look at Shen You Huang and said in a low voice, "Senior sister, I'm afraid this Prince Cheng is interested in you …"

Duan Hua Yin held her hand, motioning for her to be quiet.

She frowned and looked at Jiang Tao and the others who were waiting in front of her. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, "You can't call me like this from now on. You have to be careful when you speak.

Jing Yue was aware of her slip of the tongue, so she lowered her head in silence.

Jiang Tao could not help but turn serious when he saw that Duan Hua Yin was also blocked by Shen You Huang outside the palace.

He really didn't know what the current Emperor of Qian Yuan Palace was like.

He brought the palace maids and eunuchs along with him as he brought the carriage to meet Duan Huayin before returning to Chen Ming Palace.

At this moment, exquisite tea was already served in Chen Ming Palace's living room. The Imperial Consort Shangguan Yu and Feng Ning Yan were sitting by the window just like before, admiring the snow.

Looking at the snow falling from the palace, Feng Ning Yan thought back to when she died in her previous life. It was also like this on a snowy day.

Outside the prison of the Supreme Court was a world of ice and snow, and inside was a bone-chilling chill. And she was under heavy punishment, soaking in wine vats …

It was Hua Ruyu's order and also Shen Youhuang's order! If this enmity was not avenged, he swore he would not be a human!

When the Imperial Concubine saw Feng Ning Yan in a daze after drinking some tea, she smiled and waved at her.

"Yu Wangfei, I heard that you met an assassin from the Southern Wilderness a few days ago. The situation is very dangerous, I wonder what's going on?" How did you get out of danger? "

Feng Ning Yan cupped her teacup and warmed her hands as she said indifferently, "What Southern Assassin? That is just Shen You Huang's way of putting things behind the ears of others." "Although the assassin is from the Southern Wilderness, he's an assassin raised by Shen You Huang."

The imperial concubine was astonished and accidentally crushed a piece of osmanthus cake. She calmed her mind and muttered: "It really was him …" Since his return to the palace, he had told the Emperor that you were already dead. The Emperor had been in a hurry and was unable to recover from his illness. Shen Youhuang then seized the opportunity to issue an order that other than him and those of noble Su and Li Wan who followed her orders, no one else was allowed to enter the Palace! "This wicked villain with a honeyed stomach and a venomous sword …" "Hahahahaha …" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah …"

At this moment, an eunuch walked in through the thick curtains and reported loudly, "Reporting to Imperial Concubine, His Highness King Xuan requests an audience."

Feng Ning Yan was extremely surprised, and said softly: "What a coincidence! "Quick, let him in."

The Imperial Concubine smiled and ordered Shen Yu Su to wait in the study.

Feng Ning Yan jumped down from the soft couch and walked with the Imperial Consort to the study at the side of the hall.

Shen Yu Su was in her study, looking up at the emperor's new work on the wall. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she immediately bowed and greeted, "Shen Yu Su pays her respects to the imperial concubine …"

Before he could finish his words, he saw from the corner of his eyes that the Imperial Concubine was not followed by a palace maid, but a young lady dressed in Southern Wasteland attire.

Curious, he almost cried out.

"King …"

"Shh …" Feng Ning Yan placed her fingertips on her lips, interrupting him with a smile.

Shen Yu Su was so happy that she was about to jump up. She quickly ran in front of Feng Ning Yan, and looked at her husband who was standing in front of her. She couldn't say a thousand things.

Feng Ningyan smiled and patted his shoulder. "He's very good, very good."

Shen Yu Su's eyes reddened, and rubbed her nose: "Yu Su knew you guys would be fine! "I've never believed Fourth Brother's words. I know that all the merits are from Second Brother and sister-in-law. Fourth Brother is really despicable …"

The imperial concubine said gravely, "It just so happened that the news of His Majesty's victory had clouded his mind. He immediately conferred the title of Prince Cheng to Shen You Huang, giving him great authority! "Since you're all back, then let King Yu and King Xuan tell us the truth and let everyone know Shen You Huang's true colors."

Feng Ning Yan shook her head. "Now is not the time. Shen You Huang has been planning for a long time in order to fight for the throne. Right now, her power is at its peak and there are more and more people attached to her. "On the other hand, Prince and I are still suspected to be colluding with each other."

"Then what should we do!?" Shen Yu Su said anxiously.

Feng Ningyan said, "Currently, the most important thing is to prove that I and King Yu did not betray the country. Only then will we be able to return to the capital in broad daylight. Yu Su, you better not act rashly. I've come to the palace this time to see the empress dowager and the two of you. I'll let everyone know that His Highness Duke Yu is fine, and make sure that his family is at ease.

The imperial concubine frowned. Holding the brocade handkerchief, she slowly walked a few steps, turned around and said:

"The problem of the Palace is one that we are anxious to solve right now. We can't afford to think about it in the long term." The Imperial Guard Battalion Commander, Du Kai, was loyal to the Emperor in the past, but ever since Shen Youhuang returned with military exploits and service and displayed his loyalty and filial piety, Du Kai's entire being was filled with admiration. Even the Imperial Guards had obeyed Shen Youhuang's orders … "

Shen Yu Su pouted, as he clearly had a good opinion of Du Kai. "That Du Kai, is very stiff! It's impossible to tell the difference between good and bad! "

The imperial concubine shook her head and smiled, then looked at Feng Ningyan. "I originally wanted to entrust the Emperor's safety to my brother Shangguan Jin, but he just became the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard not long ago, and his rank is only at the fourth rank. His authority is limited, so I'm afraid he won't be able to help …"
