"No matter what happens, you must always put your own safety first. If anything happens to this king's princess consort, I'll hold you accountable."
Feng Yunshu made a little face playfully. "Okay, okay, okay. Your princess consort is a precious treasure. I'll definitely take good care of her. Don't worry!"
Helan Yanting let out a soft laugh and habitually ruffled her hair. "You set off first. I'll leave after you're gone."
Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, since Feng Yunshu had made her decision, there was no way she would change her mind.
"This is good. You watch me leave. I'm never used to seeing others off."
Feng Yunshu sniffed and tried hard to hold back her reluctance. Without looking back, she turned around and left.
Beside her, Ziyuan kept looking back every few steps. Noticing Ziyuan's strange behavior, Feng Yunshu couldn't help but speak up. "Ziyuan, don't tell me you're reluctant to part with Yan Qi?"
Ziyuan blushed deeply and quickly shook her head in denial. "No way. Miss, you're always teasing me."
"Then what are you looking back at every few steps for? You look like a newly - wed daughter - in - law leaving home."
"I..."
The group of master and servants soon set off on their journey back to the Dan Kingdom.
Before setting off, Feng Yunshu specifically sent a message to Kong Ze, saying that she was about to return to the Dan Kingdom and would probably stay in his mansion first. There were also some things that she needed his help with.
When Kong Ze received the message, he was pacing anxiously in the main hall of his mansion. Not long ago, he had rushed back from the military camp in a hurry, and the words and the look in the Fifth Princess's eyes before she left kept flashing through his mind.
He had thought that it would be the same as before, that the Fifth Princess was just throwing a tantrum and would surely come back when he returned.
So as soon as he came back, Kong Ze found an excuse to go in the direction of the palace, with the intention of letting the Fifth Princess know that he was back. According to the usual practice, the Fifth Princess would surely appear in front of him soon, but this time the Fifth Princess didn't come for a long time.
After that, Kong Ze specifically sent someone to deliver a message to the Fifth Princess, saying that he was back and was willing to share her worries. But the person who came back said that the Fifth Princess didn't even want to hear any news from the National Teacher's Mansion.
Just when Kong Ze was thinking about how to solve this matter, news came from the palace that the Fifth Princess was to be sent to marry into a foreign country.
"What?!" Hearing this news, the teacup that Kong Ze was about to pick up to drink from shook violently. The tea spilled on his hand, but he didn't even notice.
"Did you just say that the emperor is going to send the Fifth Princess to marry into the Wuzi Kingdom? How is that possible... His Majesty has always doted on the Fifth Princess the most. There has never been any news that he would let the Fifth Princess marry into a foreign country before. Why is it so sudden..."
The butler was also full of doubts and shook his head. "I don't know about that, sir."
"No, this national teacher must go and see the Fifth Princess."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Considering that she needed to deal with the matters in the Dan Kingdom as soon as possible so that she could reunite with the king earlier, but the distance from here back to the Dan Kingdom was quite far. After much consideration, Feng Yunshu decided to be a bit lazy and use her spiritual power to fly back on a cloud.
"Miss, are we really going to... fly back?" As soon as Ziyuan heard that Feng Yunshu was going to fly back on a cloud, her little face turned pale and then green.
"Are you afraid of getting dizzy like last time? Don't worry. I've already thought of a solution." Feng Yunshu patted her chest with a smile. "Before we take off, I'll use magic to seal your five senses and six consciousnesses. In this way, no matter how fast or high I fly, you won't feel anything."
"Really?" Ziyuan was still a bit scared.
Xiaoling chimed in beside her. "Don't worry, Sister Ziyuan. My master is right. As long as your five senses and six consciousnesses are sealed, you won't feel anything, so you won't get dizzy."
"Okay then, Miss, seal my senses."
After sealing Ziyuan's five senses and six consciousnesses, taking advantage of the falling night and the bright moon hanging in the sky, Feng Yunshu immediately activated her spiritual power. The spiritual power she had cultivated could be maximized at night with the help of the moonlight.
Soon, Feng Yunshu condensed a ball of moonlight energy and flew towards the Dan Kingdom with Ziyuan and Xiaoling.
At the same time, in the Dan Kingdom.
There was a loud crashing sound in the Queen's palace. The maids and eunuchs inside and outside the palace all held their breaths, afraid that they might be implicated.
"What on earth is that Dongfang Yuan? How dare he harm my son like this!"
There was another person in the inner chamber of the Queen. After the Queen had vented her anger, Concubine Mu spoke up to comfort her. "Your Majesty, the Queen, don't be too anxious. Sister has a way to bring the Crown Prince back to life."
"Are you serious?!" Queen Li suddenly looked up at Concubine Mu. After all, the Crown Prince was the flesh and blood that came from her after ten months of pregnancy. When she saw the Crown Prince being rushed back to the capital in the middle of the night, covered in blood and pale as a sheet, she had never felt such a strong urge to kill.
Concubine Mu raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. "When has sister ever lied to Your Majesty, the Queen?"
"Tell me quickly what the method is. I order you to save my Qi'er immediately!"
"Sister just said that Your Majesty doesn't need to be anxious. Sister will surely save the Crown Prince. But as a condition, Your Majesty must also do something for sister."
Queen Li's face was a bit ferocious, and her patience seemed to be running out. She grabbed Concubine Mu's arm. "Concubine Mu, I warn you not to play any tricks in front of me. If you can't save the Crown Prince, I'll make you suffer worse than death!"
Concubine Mu was not angry because of the Queen's words and actions. She gently shrugged off the Queen's arm and smiled teasingly. "Don't worry, sister always keeps her word."
"Tell me quickly. What do you want me to do for you?"
"It's very simple. Ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict to send the Fifth Princess to marry into the Wuzi Kingdom, saying that it's for the friendly relations between the Dan Kingdom and the Wuzi Kingdom."
The Queen frowned after hearing this. "Why do you want to do this? What does the Fifth Princess have to do with you?"
Concubine Mu smiled mysteriously. "Your Majesty just needs to do as sister says. As for the reason, Your Majesty doesn't need to know too much."
"You—" As the mistress of the six palaces, Queen Li was always flattered and respected by others. When had it ever been someone else's turn to threaten her like this? This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
Queen Li looked at Concubine Mu in front of her, whose appearance seemed to have never changed. She became more and more puzzled. Concubine Mu had been in the palace for quite a few years, but Queen Li felt that she had never really known her. Or rather, the Concubine Mu in front of her seemed extremely strange to her.
She even felt a bit afraid of this woman who looked younger than herself. Queen Li unconsciously tightened her fist hidden in her wide sleeve.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. It's not a difficult thing."
"Hehe, with Your Majesty's words, sister can rest assured."
"Don't be too relieved. You must save the Crown Prince!"
"Of course."
"Oh, by the way, to save the Crown Prince, Your Majesty still needs to do one more thing."
"Don't push your luck!"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. This matter is actually quite simple. To bring the Crown Prince back to life, there must be a clash between a wedding and a funeral. We need to find a woman whose birth date is extremely compatible with the Crown Prince's and immediately marry her to the Crown Prince. After that, sister will handle the rest."
