Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan walked into the palace hall.

  Yue Bing Yu sat there and Feng YI Xuan and Lan You Nian walk into the hall, her gaze was stuck to Feng Yi Xuan. When her gaze didn’t receive any response, Yue Bing Yu’s gaze turned from infatuation into resentment.

  Yue Bing Yu squeezed the object on her. She looked at Xue empire’s prince Xue Yu and Feng empire’s prince Feng Shao Chu with panic. The two offered Yue Bing Yu a reassuring look but when they lowered their eyes, they flashed with an unknown emotion.

  Once the two took their seat, Emperor Feng Xuan led the Empress into the palace hall. Lan You Nian attended this palace banquet merely because she and Feng Yi Xuan received news that said this Xue empire’s delegate was strange so the two came to take a look. After taking their seats, they noticed there was something strange about Xue empire’s prince and there was also something wrong with Feng Shao Chu.

  “Xuan, this Feng Shao Chu no longer has any power but as long as he lives, he is a time bomb. So if we have the chance, it’s best to get rid of him. Otherwise, one day there’d be some trouble!” Lan You Nian reminded. This Feng Shao Chu was not a good person. Lan You Nian liked to cut grass at its roots. However, Lan You Nian understood Feng Xia Qi’s motive. Feng Xia Qi has ascended the throne but Feng empire doesn’t have many princesses and princes left. If Feng Shao Chu died, Feng Xia Qi would endure the reputation of a tyrant. But Lan You Nian believed that reputation couldn’t compare to one’s life.

  Feng Yi Xuan nodded. He knew of this matter. But the one who ascended the throne was his imperial brother. He handed the matter for his imperial brother to handle. He couldn’t help his imperial brother do everything. What would be the meaning of imperial brother’s position then?

  “I know. Don’t worry. He won’t jump for long!” Feng Yi Xuan poured a cup of tea for Lan You Nian and tested out the temperature before handing it to Lan You Nian. If it wasn’t in the public, Feng Yi Xuan would directly feed her.

  At this moment, Yue Bing Yu stood. She curtsied to Lan You Nian, “This princess will return to Yue empire today but after some consideration, this princess wishes to apologize for causing trouble for Lan junzhu a few days ago. Today this princess wants to apologize to Lan junzhu. I hope Lan junzhu can be magnanimous and be forgiving!”


  Lan You Nian’s eyes flashed as her long lashes hid the confusion in her eyes. Lan You Nian didn’t believe Yue Bing Yu was a woman who can have a realization in an instant and could apologize in public. Hence, there must be some kind of scheme or some other benefit.

  Lan You Nian didn’t answer. She wanted to know what Yue Bing Yu wanted to do. Though Lan You Nian knew it was difficult for Yue Bing Yu to scheme against her, Lan You Nian wasn’t one to underestimate another. She didn’t want to give herself some unknown danger. But Lan You Nian was unable to evade today……

  “Is Lan junzhu unwilling?” Yue Bing Yu looked at Lan You Nian with upset. Her gaze made the goosebumps rise on Lan You Nian.

  “This princess came for a marriage alliance but Feng empire’s Emperor already has the Empress. This princess isn’t willing to force it. Because this princess has admired Prince Ming, because I liked Prince Ming too much, I was jealous of Lan junzhu. But this princess has thought it over. Love can’t be forced. This princess has thought it through. This princess will use tea in place of wine to drink to Lan junzhu. I hope this princess and Lan junzhu can wipe away all unhappiness between us. Feng empire and our Yue Empire can always be allies!” Yue Bing Yu declared as she poured a cup of tea and slowly came over to Lan You Nian’s table, very aggrieved as she looked at Lan You Nian.

  Lan You Nian’s lips curled. She didn’t expect this Yue Bing Yu’s mouth to be so extraordinary. If she didn’t drink this tea, it would be nothing but Yue Bing Yu has dragged the relationship between the two empires into this as well as admitted to her grievances. If she isn’t sensible, who knows what looks she will receive. The one sitting on the throne was Feng Xia Qi. She couldn’t be willful and disregard Feng empire.

  “Nian Nian……” Feng Yi Xuan frowned as he looked at Lan You Nian. Even though he didn’t say anything, Lan You Nian understood what Feng Yi Xuan wanted to express. Feng Yi Xuan didn’t want her to suffer grievances, to let her do whatever she wanted. No one was allowed to bully her.

  Lan You Nian shot Feng Yi Xuan a reassuring look. She didn’t feel temporarily yielding was suffering any grievance. Since she considered these people her family, Feng empire was her home. No matter what, she can’t give another empire a reason to attack Feng empire. Even if there is a problem between the two empires, it shouldn’t drag herself in.

  “How is that possible? Though this junzhu is petty, I’m not that petty!” Lan You Nian stood to accept the tea in Yue Bing Yu’s hand. Lan You Nian leaned close to Yue Bing Yu and caught the scent of a strange fragrance. Lan You Nian didn’t overthink and only thought it was some perfume Yue Bing Yu wore.

  After Lan You Nian accepted the cup, Yue Bing Yu became excited. She feared Lan You Nian was able to see her slip and lowered her head to show her seriousness and didn’t attract any attention.

  Feng Shao Chu’s eyes flashed with fierce vengefulness. The hand under the table started to shake. He can finally let Feng Yi Xuan feel pain. Xue Yu fiddled with the cup in his hand but if one were to look carefully one could tell his eyes were focused on Lan You Nian.

  After Lan You Nian accepted the teacup, she noticed there was a type of poison in the tea. But Lan You Nian’s body was immune to most poisons, so Lan You Nian didn’t give it much thought and drank from it. But at this moment, Lan You Nian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood……

  “Nian Nian!” Feng Yi Xuan shouted and pulled Lan You Nian into his arms. Lan You Nian was in extreme pain, like every time her poison flared up. She was unable to speak. Her deathly pale face and the seat on her face displayed her pain.

  Though Lan You Nian was in extreme pain, she couldn’t help lamenting inside. She didn’t expect she could lose in the field of poison. She caught the scent of poison in Yue Bing Yu’s fragrance. There is poison in the tea as well. These two poisons, once ingested by someone, will cause death in seven days unknowingly. This poison was known as Seven Day Death Powder. Lan You Nian has forgotten the poison in her body. Hence, she Seven Day Death Powder caused her poison to flare up. Once these two poisons attacked together, if it wasn’t because Lan You Nian has eaten many rare and precious treasures and soaked in a medicinal bath, she would have already died that instant.

  Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who was in pain and in panic. His eyes were filled with red. Lan You Nian wanted to tell him, tell him not to worry. She feared she couldn’t hold on but Lan You Nian wasn’t able to say anything. She can only watch as Feng Yi Xuan’s face fill with horror as she closed her eyes.

  Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian’s pained look. Even if she was in pain, she still gently looked at him. He saw Nian Nian close her eyes. Feng Yi Xuan completely panicked. Even though he could hear Nian Nian’s breathing, his eyes were as savage as a wild animal’s, filling with a bloodthirsty hostility. The handsome face became twisted and unrecognizable. The moment he saw Nian Nian vomit blood, his heart seemed to be sliced by a knife, a heart-piercing pain.

  Yue Bing Yu was frightened. Feng Shao Chu and Xue Yu told her this poison needed seven days to take effect but why would Lan You Nian suddenly vomit blood? Yue Bing Yu was afraid of seeing such a horrifying Feng Yi Xuan. Yue Bing Yu felt afraid.

  Feng Yi Xuan carefully held Lan You Nian and looked at the instigator, Yue Bing Yu. Those eyes were filled with sinister, savage, and bloodthirsty and murderous killing air as if he wanted to kill thousands.

  “No, no, it’s not my fault……” Yue Bing Yu wanted to retreat in fear. Her infatuation was all gone, only leaving her fear and horror. She wanted to run far away and not provoke such a man.

  Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes flashed with bloodthirstiness and violence. With a wave of his hand, his internal force shot at Yue Bing Yu. There came the sound of Yue Bing Yu’s bones crushing, making people’s hearts tremble, staring with wide eyes. They only saw Yue Bing Yu’s flesh open, her eyes bulged and the skin and flesh on her face split apart as she spat out blood. She didn’t make a sound and lost her breath, her body tumbling onto the ground, curving into an awkward angle, like a boneless snake. Even those who didn’t understand martial arts knew her bones must have been crushed.

  Everyone was frightened by Feng Yi Xuan’s bloody aura and unblinking attitude when killing. None dared to utter a word even if Feng Yi Xuan wanted to kill a princess that came for a marriage alliance.

  “A’Xuan……” Feng Xia Qi looked anxiously at Lan You Nian in Feng Yi Xuan’s arms. He knew he could step closer. Feng Xia Qi knew if he stepped any closer, Feng Yi Xuan who was claimed by the demons in his heart will him.

  Lan Jian Jun and the others could tell there was something wrong with Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan’s entire person seemed to be filled with darkness. If someone stepped forward to take a look at Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan will start his slaughter. Even if he harmed innocents, he won’t withdraw.

  “A’Xuan, Nian’er is fine. She can be saved. Wake up. Nian’er needs you!” Feng Xia Qi endured the force of Feng Yi Xuan’s attack. Even if he was severely injured, when he saw Lan You Nian lying in Feng Y Xuan’s arms like a lifeless porcelain doll, Feng Xia Qi’s hurt so much he wanted to cry.

  Because of Feng Xia Qi’s words, Feng Yi Xuan instantly came to his senses. He tightened his arms around Lan You Nian, afraid she’ll leave him the moment he let go. He then used qinggong to race over to the Medical Valley.

  Unexpectedly, before Feng Yi Xuan could step out of the capital, he encountered Gui Yi Zi and Gui Yi. Gui Yi Zi has already developed the antidote to Lan You Nian’s poison and came personally to tell Lan You Nian this good news so they can search for the ingredients for the antidote. Gui Yi Zi didn’t expect to see the nearly mad Feng Yi Xuan and weak Lan You Nian who practically has no breath.
