Oops!
Shi Nuanyu's face froze. She tried her best to remain calm, her chaotic mind searching for a plausible reason.
"Yu Changfeng, you are my husband, can't I investigate and understand you?"
She was not calm at this moment. Having seen his harmless side so often, she had probably forgotten that the Crown Prince of Beilin was known as the First Yama.
Yu Changfeng concealed his doubts and nodded seriously.
“Your Highness is investigating me, why not ask me directly?” He whispered in her ear in an ambiguous tone, “I will even tell Nuannuan the exact size.”
How can this person be so shameless?
Shi Nuanyu's face flushed red. "Yu Changfeng, you have no shame."
I guess we've passed this hurdle.
In a dense forest on the outskirts of Kyoto, four handsome men faced off, the atmosphere tense and fraught with tension. One held a soft sword, another a heavy sword, one a folding fan, and the third a long flute, standing tall and straight.
"You shameless wretch, you are not worthy of His Highness's heart."
He didn't get angry before even trying, but just coldly rebuked, gripping the sword hilt and eager to test it.
These idiots are not easy to deal with, and I won't lose to them.
"You heartless bastards! You're devoted to Poison Girl? Bah! I have genuine feelings for Poison Girl and would never do anything to hurt or upset her."
Qinghe's eyes and brows were gentle, but his words were icy.
"The leader of the alliance can simply withdraw and return to your martial arts alliance."
He was already impatient to be left to oversee the country, and then they started causing him trouble.
Tao Huiyan smiled faintly, fanning herself with her folding fan as her gaze shifted between the three.
"The Imperial Advisor dismissed everyone with a single word, showing no respect for His Highness. Isn't that a bit too presumptuous?"
If you can't win, make a big scene. It would be best to let Nuannuan know, then even the Imperial Advisor won't be able to decide their fate.
"Why waste words with him? Let's fight and see who's the best."
A gloomy killing intent was revealed between Shan Baiyu's brows, and sparks flew as the heavy sword in his hand scraped against the ground.
He rushed back to the capital alone, and before he could even see His Highness, he learned that the Imperial Advisor wanted to break their established relationship. He held considerable military power and also wanted to compete for the position of Imperial Consort.
Qinghe understood clearly. "The three of you forming an alliance do have the potential to compete, but unfortunately you're a step too late."
I didn't want to make a move so early, but they just had to come running into me, oblivious to their own mortality.
Blue smoke rose from the surrounding dense forest, and the pungent smell of fire filled the air.
"You actually intend to trap us here and let us die?"
He glared at his opponent with gritted teeth, the soft sword in his hand flashing coldly, while he circulated his internal energy.
Qinghe replied matter-of-factly, "In a life-or-death struggle, we will not let any way out go."
Qinghe turned his long flute and drew it from the thicket of longswords.
Tao Huiyan's expression changed drastically. She took a few steps back and pulled out a hidden weapon for defense. The dense forest swayed, and hidden guards in the shadows nocked arrows and aimed at them.
"It's a life-or-death struggle, what are you waiting for?"
I had intended to negotiate tonight, but I never expected the Grand Tutor to be so ruthless.
Dan Baiyu charged forward with his sword, the heavy sword slicing through the air with a piercing sound.
"Don't try to succeed."
Qinghe moved with the agility of a swallow, her long sword aimed straight at his throat.
"Don't treat me like I'm dead."
Before he could even try to deflect his sword, Qinghe had already turned sideways and cut off a long hair of his, and he immediately took a step back.
The two took turns attacking, with Tao Huiyan providing support from behind using hidden weapons. In the three-on-one battle, Qinghe held his own and was even able to defeat Weichengshi.
With high morale, Shan Baiyu's internal strength suddenly increased, and his Shan family swordsmanship became superb. He fought Qinghe for over a hundred moves without being defeated.
"With such profound skill, he deserves to be called the number one swordsman in the world."
Tao Huiyan sighed, if he hadn't been cursed since childhood and unable to learn martial arts, he wouldn't have been limited to watching from the sidelines and learning hidden weapons to save his life.
"The Grand Preceptor is indeed worthy of being called the number one swordsman in the world among the younger generation."
The sharp sound carried with internal energy, and Eunuch Liu stood silently beside him.
Tao Huiyan was surprised. Liu Gonggong, who was usually kind and unassuming, was actually a master.
Liu Gonggong nodded slightly to him and called out to the three fighting men.
“My three sons, please don’t fight. His Majesty has ordered me to deliver this letter to the seven sons. The letters for the other three have already been sent out, leaving only the four of you.” He took out four letters from his robes. The first letter had the words “To Qinghe” written on its cover.
A few days ago, he happened to meet a hurried maid and luckily obtained these letters, which His Majesty had instructed him to deliver to several young masters.
The three stopped fighting, and Qinghe was the first to sheathe his sword and walk up to Eunuch Liu.
"What token has Your Excellency entrusted to us?"
How could Eunuch Liu find them so accurately? Could it be that their whereabouts have been under His Majesty's surveillance all along?
Qinghe and Tao Huiyan exchanged glances, and the latter, understanding the unspoken message, took out the precious jade from her bosom.
"Thank you so much for making this trip, Father-in-law."
With a broad smile, Eunuch Liu pushed the letters back and distributed them to them.
"I dare not be negligent in serving His Majesty, please, Imperial Advisor."
Qinghe opened it with a puzzled look. The three words "divorce agreement" stared straight into his eyes. He looked at them several times in disbelief, but the three words remained unchanged.
How could she possibly get a divorce!
'If our hearts are not in harmony, let us part ways amicably and each find our own happiness.'
His hands, which were holding the letter, were trembling. What did all his planning amount to?
Tao Huiyan felt inexplicably uneasy upon seeing this. She opened the letter in her hand and stared intently at the words "divorce".
Divorce?
Why?
After spending several days in close companionship and sharing their deepest feelings, why the divorce?
Shi Nuanyu, you actually broke your promise!
Dan Baiyu opened the letter early, his face as dark as ink, and one corner of the letter was crumpled from his grip.
Not only did she refuse to give him a promise, she even wanted to divorce him.
He was still eagerly anticipating meeting her.
Shi Nuanyu, you're awesome.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes, not having seen any change in their expressions.
"What's the big deal? You're acting like you've seen a ghost."
He casually opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, and then suddenly became furious.
"That poisonous woman, she wants to divorce me. What right does she have to divorce me? Haven't I served you well enough? Haven't I done a good job? Why does she divorce me without even asking a question?"
"If she takes my innocence and then seeks a new lover, abandoning her husband and children, then all the days I have left to serve her in bed, do they all become meaningless?"
The questions raised made the other three men's faces grow increasingly dark.
They fight tooth and nail here, while those being fought over have long since given up on them.
Having watched the spectacle to his heart's content, Eunuch Liu nodded and conveyed His Majesty's decree.
"His Majesty said: Princess Nanyue is the Crown Princess of Nanyue, and all her decisions are binding. If the young masters have no objections within three months, they may marry as they see fit."
The person being fought over by several people is also in a bad situation; the carriage can accommodate three people, making the space between them even smaller.
Shi Nuanyu, under pressure, huddled between the two like a quail. A Ling was found in the next room this morning, bound like a worm.
He neither questioned her nor spoke, but after getting into the carriage, he held her hand tightly and looked at her with a hurt expression.
It makes her seem like a heartless woman who takes advantage of people and then leaves them without taking responsibility.
Yu Changfa sat sideways, holding her waist tightly, playing with the girl's hair and casting a provocative glance at Hua Lingyan.
"The scenery from the carriage is quite nice, wouldn't Nuannuan like to give it a try?"
After listening to him and Nuannuan making love all night, he was still able to hold back his anger. When did this little fool become so clever? Could it be that he has been hiding his true abilities all along?
Shi Nuanyu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?"
After scolding him, she looked at the boy guiltily. The boy's eyes were watery and red as he looked at her. She wanted to hug him to comfort him, but the man behind her hugged her tightly around the waist.
Yu Changfeng scoffed, "A man who cries and acts pitiful all day long, behaving like a concubine, is utterly disrespectful. He hasn't even grown his hair yet, but he's already trying to steal women."
"You're not allowed to cause any more trouble," Shi Nuanyu glared at him, raising her right hand to cover his mouth. This guy really seemed to thrive on chaos.
“Ah Ling, don’t listen to his nonsense. In my heart, Ah Ling has always been a strong and upright man.”
Hua Lingyan nodded emphatically, held her hand to her face, and let her tears fall onto her fingertips.
"Your Highness knows how capable Ah Ling is; Ah Ling doesn't care what others say."
The lady in the Beauty Pavilion once said that women love men who look like this the most. As long as he stays like this, His Highness will cherish him.
Shi Nuanyu stroked his face tenderly, "A-Ling is so great, he has learned not to care about other people's opinions."
Yu Changfeng, standing to the side, realized what was going on. The little fool was calling him a gossip. "A man should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation," he thought, "and he's quite an eyesore."
