Chapter 2074 - 2075: Unification of the World (Part 4)

If it weren’t for Feng Feiyan initially freeing them from the palace and granting them their respective positions, they wouldn’t have achieved today’s status; they’d certainly live and die in the harem. They are grateful for Feng Feiyan’s kindness and have entered the palace to plead for her.

Zou Qian said, "Emperor, what is an Imperial Princess? That is a princess who once was an Emperor; for the Emperor to imprison the Imperial Princess in Zhaoze Palace is truly inappropriate."

Feng Feiming coldly said, "She is indeed an Imperial Princess, but she is also long since the Princess of Xiyun; marrying a chicken follows the chicken, marrying a dog follows the dog, so she is now a Xiyun person, not a Wufeng person! Prime Minister, don’t bend your arm outwards, or don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Upon hearing this, Zou Qian was too terrified to speak further.

Liang Zhiyao and Sheng Qingfeng have been fighting on the battlefield for three years, with a fierceness far exceeding Zou Qian’s. They intended to speak for Feng Feiyan, but before they could, Feng Feiming said to them first, "Weren’t you instructed to lead troops to attack Lingyun Country? Instead of properly organizing your forces to attack, you had the leisure to come to the Imperial Palace. Is it that neither of you wants to be Great General anymore?"

Liang Zhiyao and Sheng Qingfeng immediately apologized, saying, "The troops have been organized and can depart tomorrow."

"As long as Lingyun Country falls, Wufeng will be able to compare with Xiyun. This battle, Wufeng can only win, not lose."

Liang Zhiyao and Sheng Qingfeng immediately said, "Rest assured, Emperor, we will exert our utmost effort and return victorious."

Feng Feiming nodded with satisfaction and said, "You depart tomorrow, so make sure you rest well today. Go back."

After saying this, without waiting for Liang Zhiyao and Sheng Qingfeng to say anything, Feng Feiming turned and left.

Liang Zhiyao and Sheng Qingfeng had no choice but to entrust Zou Qian, "Brother Qian, we leave tomorrow, and the Emperor’s mind seems set. The Imperial Princess can only be entrusted to you for rescue; the Imperial Princess has been kind to us, and we cannot simply let her be imprisoned there."

Zou Qian said, "You should go and fight the battle; attacking Lingyun Country is pressing; the matter of the Imperial Princess is my responsibility."

"Then we’ll rely on you, Brother Qian!"

...

Three days later, in the dead of night, Zou Qian bribed the people in the palace, hoping to secretly rescue Feng Feiyan.

Feng Feiyan was very grateful to Zou Qian for rescuing her and prepared to leave with him. But as soon as they exited Zhaoze Palace, Feng Feiming caught them.

Feng Feiming sneered, "Prime Minister, I know you are grateful, and I do not blame you. But now, I must tell you..."

Saying this, Feng Feiming took the wooden stick from the eunuch beside him and fiercely struck Feng Feiyan’s legs; Feng Feiyan’s legs were instantly broken, making her face contort in pain, and cold sweat was pouring off her.

Feng Feiming coldly looked down upon Feng Feiyan lying on the ground, continuing to laugh, "If you dare rescue her again, next time, it won’t be just breaking her legs but her arms; after another time, it will be gouging out her eyes, cutting off her ears... and so on, until she dies. Think carefully, do you truly want this? If you do, feel free to enter the palace again to save her."

Zou Qian had no choice but to abandon the idea of rescuing Feng Feiyan further.

Seeing Zou Qian lost the heart to rescue Feng Feiyan, Feng Feiming bent closer to look at Feng Feiyan in agony on the ground, still smiling, "Sister, this is good too, right? Your legs are broken; even if you want to run, you can’t."

Due to the severe pain in her legs, Feng Feiyan’s face was twisted by pain, and she was trembling with her teeth from the agony.
