"You damned woman, you almost killed my child. I didn't kill your child. It was Feng Zixiao who didn't want the child. If he had wanted it, he would have protected the child. Why are you taking your anger out on others? Jiang Feixue, you've always taken your anger out on others."
She cursed and hit him as she went. Seeing how agitated she was, Feng Zihe was afraid that she would hurt the baby in her womb. He went over, reached out and took Hailing's hand, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Hailin, let me do it. Don't hurt the baby in your belly."
Upon hearing Feng Zihe's words, Hai Ling finally stopped. Looking at Jiang Feixue now, her face was covered in wounds, her hair was disheveled, and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were no longer fierce, but pitiful, like a dying cat struggling, desperate and helpless, crying in pain.
The woman looked so pitiful and desperate at that moment, making it hard to bring oneself to harm her. However, when Feng Zihe thought of her madness and how she had almost killed Hai Ling and her child, he felt no sympathy for her. He stretched out his hand and struck Jiang Feixue's chest with his palm, his inner strength concentrated in it. With one strike, he took Jiang Feixue's life. Blood gushed from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were wide open. However, she did not feel pain. Instead, she smiled with relief and murmured something.
"I'm finally free. Everything is over. All the sins started more than ten years ago. If I hadn't seen Feng Zixiao, none of this would have happened."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, tilted her head, and finally ended her helpless and painful life.
When Hai Ling saw Feng Zihe kill Jiang Feixue, she felt no sympathy whatsoever. If she would have felt sympathy before, she would never feel sympathy for anyone who hurt her again, because sympathizing with the enemy might very well end up hurting herself.
After killing Jiang Feixue, Feng Zihe turned to Hai Ling and extended his hand: "Hai Ling, let's go. Let's go to Yuehe Palace now. My elder sister is almost going crazy because of your disappearance. Once we enter Yuehe Palace, I will send someone to inform Ye Lingfeng that you should leave Da Zhou tonight."
He would have to bear the rest of the consequences. His elder brother would surely be furious, but he believed he had a clear conscience about what he had done.
"good."
Hai Ling placed her hand in Feng Zihe's palm, and the two left the secret chamber of Canglan Palace together. The little lion Qiuqiu followed closely behind them as they left the chamber. However, as soon as they were out of the chamber, it turned its head and sniffed hard, as if it had smelled a familiar scent. So, before Hai Ling and Feng Zihe could notice, Qiuqiu had disappeared.
Hai Ling wasn't worried about Qiu Qiu; she knew it would come back. So she let Feng Zihe use his lightness skill to carry her away from Canglan Palace and into Yuehe Palace.
Inside the Moon Palace's bedroom, Feng Qian was anxiously awaiting news. Although she was very tired, she couldn't fall asleep.
Just as footsteps sounded outside the door, Xiao Ke excitedly exclaimed, "Princess, the Seventh Prince has rescued the person!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Qian excitedly stood up and rushed out: "That's great!"
She saw the Seventh Prince Feng Zihe and Hai Ling beside him. Feng Qian rushed over excitedly, grabbed Hai Ling's hand, and checked her over from head to toe: "Ling'er, are you alright? Are you alright?"
Seeing that Feng Qian's face was pale and she was very weak, Hai Ling knew that she was so anxious because of her, so she quickly nodded.
"I'm fine. You're still injured, so don't get agitated."
What should have been a simple farewell turned into a whole mess, and the three of them quietly made their way into the palace.
Feng Qian ordered Xiao Ke and Lian Yi: "You two, go outside and guard the door. Don't let anyone in."
"Yes, Princess."
Feng Qian pulled Hai Ling to sit down. Feng Zihe glanced at the two women, their friendship was admirable. Feng Zihe said in a deep voice, "You two talk first. I will immediately go out and send someone to inform Emperor Xie of Bei Lu to come to the palace to pick up Hai Ling."
He and his elder brother had previously stayed at the Western Palace, so he naturally knew that the Western Palace was Ye Lingfeng's place. He wondered how anxious Ye Lingfeng was at this moment.
Feng Qian nodded and waved for Feng Zihe to handle the matter. At the same time, she was worried. She wondered what kind of fury Ye Lingfeng would unleash if he found out that it was her elder brother who had imprisoned Ling'er, and how he would treat her elder brother. However, the fact that Ling'er had been rescued by them was the only good thing.
Be careful.
Feng Qian gave her some advice, and Hai Ling nodded in agreement. She respected Feng Zihe very much, and now she felt more and more that he was clear-headed and upright. He was the first friend she ever made.
Feng Zihe turned to leave, but someone outside the door exclaimed in surprise, "You? You!"
Before she could finish speaking, two loud thuds were heard, clearly indicating that someone had made a move. Feng Zihe, Feng Qian, and Hai Ling were shocked. Could it be that Feng Zixiao had discovered Hai Ling's disappearance and chased after her? However, they soon saw Little Lion Qiuqiu appear. As soon as Little Lion Qiuqiu appeared, Hai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the person who came was definitely not Feng Zixiao. She quickly looked up at the screen and saw a tall and upright figure walking in, his fury radiating like a storm. As soon as he saw Hai Ling, he called out to her.
"Ling'er".
The person who came was actually Ye Lingfeng. He had been searching near Canglan Palace when he suddenly saw a small yellow ball flash by. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Hailing's little lion ball, Qiuqiu. Qiuqiu had smelled Ye Lingfeng's scent earlier, so it ran to find him and led Ye Lingfeng all the way to Yuehe Palace.
Seeing that Ling'er was alright, Ye Lingfeng felt relieved and gazed at her intently.
When Hai Ling saw that it was Ye Lingfeng who had arrived, she was excited at first, and then she got up and rushed to Ye Lingfeng's side.
"night."
“Ling’er/”
When Feng Qian and Feng Zihe saw that the person who came was Ye Lingfeng, they finally felt completely relieved. It was so good.
Ye Lingfeng held Hai Ling tightly, overjoyed at the feeling of having her back, but at the same time, he confirmed one thing: Ling'er had indeed been imprisoned in the palace by Feng Zixiao. Thinking of that shameless man who didn't even spare a pregnant woman, Ye Lingfeng's face suddenly darkened, and a cold frost rose around him.
"Ling'er, did that bastard Feng Zixiao lock you up?"
Hai Ling nodded, her eyes flashing with a cold light. Not only that, she almost lost her unborn child because of his acupressure.
"Yes, not only that, Jiang Feixue actually found the secret room where I was locked up. Because my acupoints were restricted, she almost drugged me. If Zihe hadn't arrived in time, our child would have been lost."
Even now, Hailin still feels lingering fear and is extremely scared when this is mentioned.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng became even more enraged. Thinking of the innocent suffering Ling'er had endured and the near loss of their child, he thought, "Feng Zixiao, we must settle this score properly." With that thought, he ordered Shizhu behind him, "Immediately go and inform Ji Shaocheng to come here and take Ling'er away from Da Zhou. I want to kill that shameless bastard Feng Zixiao."
"yes."
Shi Zhu accepted the order and left, equally furious. Feng Zixiao was too shameless, daring to touch their Northern Lu Empress. He was courting death. Didn't he realize that if it weren't for their help, would he have been able to reclaim the throne? Furthermore, Northern Lu never wanted the Great Zhou, otherwise, would he even have a place to sit now? They never expected him to do such a thing.
Inside the palace, Feng Zihe and Feng Qian's expressions changed drastically upon hearing Ye Lingfeng's words. Their Great Zhou had suffered many calamities, and this reorganization had already severely weakened it. If Ye Lingfeng were to kill Feng Zixiao as well, chaos would likely ensue. Therefore, the siblings knelt down with a thud and began to beg.
"Please, Emperor Xie, show mercy and forgive my brother this time. We don't ask for your consideration for us, but for the sake of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although my brother's actions were wrong, he still cares deeply for the people. So please, Emperor Xie, forgive him for the sake of the people."
Feng Zihe and Feng Qian spoke in unison. They had known this would happen. Their elder brother's actions were truly appalling. His woman was pregnant, and he had secretly hidden her away, almost causing Ling'er to lose her child. How could Ye Lingfeng not be angry?
But they really couldn't just stand by and watch Ye Lingfeng kill his elder brother. Firstly, there was the bond between siblings, and secondly, the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't afford to descend into chaos again.
Ye Lingfeng would never accept Feng Zihe and Feng Qian's pleas for mercy. His face was cold, his eyes were deep and cold, his lips were tightly pursed, and he remained silent. Instead, he lowered his head to comfort Hai Ling in his arms.
"Ling'er, you and General Ji go out of the city first, and I will meet up with you later."
