She absolutely refused to lose Ye Lingfeng and return to Nanling Kingdom alone.
Not only would her father and mother be disappointed, but she would also be ridiculed by the world.
So the most beautiful woman is nothing special after all; she's not even as good as a woman from the Northern Lu Kingdom.
Then her glory and brilliance will be gone forever.
"It's not up to you."
Seeing that Jingyue was not listening to him, Shen Ruoxuan ignored her and reached out to close in on her, intending to strike her pressure points and forcibly send her back to Nanling Kingdom. Unfortunately, as soon as he moved, Ruan Jingyue moved as well. Although she was not as fast as Shen Ruoxuan, she was not much slower. With a flick of her wrist, the long ribbon on her arm transformed into two sharp weapons, which struck Shen Ruoxuan directly.
Ruan Jingyue hit him while speaking fiercely.
“Shen Ruoxuan, on behalf of my father and mother, I do not acknowledge you as a citizen of Nanling Kingdom. Not only do you not help me, but you also help Ji Hailing. Are you still a citizen of Nanling Kingdom?”
"Do you think I care about the Southern Ling Kingdom? Although I was born in the Southern Ling Kingdom, I have always grown up in the Medicine King Valley."
Medicine King Valley is located at the border of Northern Lu and Great Zhou, far from Southern Ling Kingdom. Therefore, when Shen Ruoxuan spoke, apart from the blood in his body, he had no other connection with Southern Ling Kingdom.
"you?"
Ruan Jingyue glared angrily at Shen Ruoxuan and showed no mercy. She did not hold back just because he was her brother. On the contrary, she hated Shen Ruoxuan very much.
Shen Ruoxuan actually became that woman's apprentice, so that woman must be skilled in medicine. Just thinking about how outstanding that woman was made her so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
Seeing that she couldn't subdue Shen Ruoxuan for the time being, Ruan Jingyue suddenly shouted into the shadows, "Guards, seize these two disloyal and unfilial people from Nanling and take them back to Nanling for my father and mother to deal with."
As soon as Ruan Jingyue finished speaking, several skilled men in black leaped out from the shadows and pounced on Shen Ruoxuan. Shen Ruoxuan had come to the post station to see Ruan Jingyue alone today, but he never expected his sister to turn on him so ruthlessly. Shen Ruoxuan didn't want to say anything more, because it was all in vain.
"I have done everything I could for you today. From now on, your affairs are none of my concern."
With a flick of his wrist, Shen Ruoxuan sprinkled a handful of white powder.
Ruan Jingyue and her men were shocked, fearing that the powder was some kind of poison, and quickly jumped aside.
In the brief moment, Shen Ruoxuan slipped away, leaving the post station and returning to the Ji residence, his heart inexplicably heavy.
That night, besides Shen Ruoxuan visiting the post station, a major event also occurred there.
Someone attempted to assassinate Emperor Feng Zixiao of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because there were too many people, even though Ji Cong had set up a sophisticated formation, the assassin still managed to break into Feng Zixiao's residence and wound him.
Feng Zixiao was injured, and Ji Cong dared not be careless. He immediately sent him to the palace of the Northern Lu Kingdom by carriage to ask the imperial physician for treatment. Fortunately, he was fine in the end and escaped unscathed.
In the palace.
As soon as Feng Zixiao woke up, he saw two more people in front of his bed. They were Wei Lin, the Imperial Inspector of the Capital, and one of his subordinates.
"Wei Lin, what are you doing here?"
Upon receiving a letter from his younger sister, Feng Yao, Feng Zixiao immediately entrusted the affairs of state to the Seventh Prince, Prince Jing, and instructed Wei Lin, Yan Zhan, and others to assist him in handling these matters. He himself would be returning soon.
Unexpectedly, Wei Lin appeared here at this moment, so Feng Zixiao knew without a doubt that something must have happened in the court.
Feng Zixiao, who was already injured, was pale and couldn't help but cough because he was anxious.
Wei Lin looked at Feng Zixiao, unable to bring himself to speak, but he had risked coming here to inform the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, please return to the capital immediately. Jiang Batian has taken control of the entire court and intends to support the Fifth Prince, Prince Shou, as the new emperor. If Your Majesty does not return soon, I fear everything will be beyond repair."
"That bastard."
Feng Zixiao was furious. He slammed his fist on the soft couch, his face growing paler. "I need to return to the capital immediately."
"But what about the Emperor's health?"
"Let's go back first and rest on the way."
"yes."
Wei Lin couldn't stop the Emperor, nor could he stop him now. If the Emperor really stayed here, everything in the Great Zhou Dynasty would be set in stone. So even if he had to hold on, he had to rush back. There was still a large number of people in the court who supported the Emperor. If the Emperor went back, Jiang Batian would not succeed.
Feng Zixiao, leading his men, immediately bid farewell to Ye Lingfeng of Beilu and left the palace to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although he didn't mention anything, Ye Lingfeng still guessed that something must have happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was why Feng Zixiao had to rush back when he was injured. However, since Feng Zixiao was injured in the Northern Lu Kingdom, the Northern Lu Kingdom also bore responsibility. Therefore, Ye Lingfeng ordered the generals in the court to lead people to escort Feng Zixiao to the border between the two countries, at least to ensure that he would not be in any further trouble within the territory of the Northern Lu Kingdom. By the time he finished his journey, his body had recovered enough. Once he left the Northern Lu Kingdom and entered the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would no longer be their concern.
The group hurriedly left, and were about to leave the city.
Feng Zixiao suddenly thought of someone, a woman as radiant as jade, who was originally his empress, but because he was blind to her beauty, they missed each other. He came here for her, so was he just going to go back like this?
Feeling truly unwilling, he finally gritted his teeth and ordered the carriage guard: "Go back to the Ji residence."

Wei Lin and the others cried out in disbelief, "What is the Emperor doing at the Ji residence?"
"emperor."
Along the way, Wei Lin had heard about the Emperor and Miss Ji's affair. However, now that there were problems in the court, the Emperor still had the mood to say goodbye to Miss Ji, which disappointed Wei Lin greatly.
However, Feng Zixiao ignored Wei Lin and ordered the guards driving the carriage: "Hurry up."
The guard dared not disobey and immediately turned his horse around, heading towards the Ji residence.
At the Ji residence, Hai Ling, Shen Ruoxuan, Shi Mei, and others were walking out of Xiangwu Courtyard. She was preparing to go to the mortuary with Shen Ruoxuan and the others to teach Shen Ruoxuan and Shi Mei how to make a knife.
Just then, Butler Ning rushed over anxiously: "Miss, Miss, someone wants to see you."
Who is it?
