In the imperial study.

Feng Yijin sat on the dragon throne, gnashing his teeth so hard that he almost broke them.

“Ninth Brother, why did you come to me so early in the morning?”

Feng Yili did not bother to bow and said bluntly, “Brother, you can do whatever you want to Gao Shixuan, but I suggest you let Liu Xiaolan go.”

“Oh? Ninth Brother, are you threatening me?” Feng Yijin said mockingly with a scoff.

Feng Yili looked at Feng Yijin and said in a deep voice, “If Imperial Brother thinks it’s a threat, then so be it.”

“You…” Feng Yijin did not expect Feng Yili to be so blunt. He was stunned.

Feng Yili continued to say, “Brother, Liu Xiaolan is the Third Prince of Nanyue. Gao Shixuan acted alone, and the matter has nothing to do with him. If it’s known that you imprisoned the prince of another country for no reason, I’m afraid you’ll become a laughingstock in all of the world…”

“You!” Feng Yijin was infuriated.

At this moment, Nan Xun chimed in nonchalantly, “That’s right, Your Majesty. Are you addicted to capturing people?”

“Imperial Brother, the fact that Nanyue is willing to concede two cities to us is already the greatest concession. It’s absolutely impossible for you to obtain more things through Liu Xiaolan. Your actions might even rouse the anger of

Nanyue. At that time, Nanyue might take back the two cities…”

Feng Yijin’s expression turned solemn upon hearing these words. After a long silence, he relented. He glanced at a eunuch and said, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up. Take my token to the Heavenly Prison and release him.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

An hour later.

Liu Xiaolan was finally released from prison. He had only been in prison for a day, but when he saw the scenery outside, he felt as though a lifetime had passed.

“Ha, how much effort did I spend just to save an idiot like you?”

Nan Xun looked at Liu Xiaolan murderously as he narrowed his eyes. If it were not for Nanyue, he would have killed the idiot in front of him.

Liu Xiaolan frowned slightly when he heard Nan Xun’s words. Then, he turned to look at Feng Yili and asked in a low voice, “Eldest Senior Brother, did you save me?”

Feng Yili glanced at Nan Xu before he replied, “There’s also Crown Prince

Nan…’

“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m sorry. Little Junior Sister, she…” Liu Xiaolan said, looking contrite. He wanted to say that Gao Shixuan had escaped from prison.

At this moment, Nan Xun sneered as he looked at Liu Xiaolan disdainfully. “What? You’re still thinking about that ingrate? The members of the imperial family are all ruthless. I don’t know why you and Second Brother are like the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, shining with the divine light! Look at how she treated you! How can you still think of her?”

Then, Nan Xun added, “Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. Earlier, Gao Shixuan had been captured and sent back to prison.”

‘What? She was caught?’

Liu Xiaolan looked at Feng Yili in shock. “Eldest Senior Brother, is that true?”

“Yes. She worked with Consort Qin. She wanted to leave the capital but I ordered people to capture her. I also ordered someone to destroy her martial arts before sending her back to prison, ” Feng Yili replied expressionlessly.

‘Destroy her martial arts? If she loses her martial arts, she’ll…’

Waves surged in Liu Xiaolan’s heart when he heard this.

“If you still pity her, I’ll definitely…” Feng Yili said, intending to reprimand Liu Xiaolan.

However, Liu Xiaolan shook his head and said bitterly, “My silence regarding her escape earlier is my last indulgence to her. No matter what happens to her in the future, she deserves it.”

Feng Yili and Nan Xun’s expressions finally eased a little when they heard these words. It seemed like Liu Xiaolan was not completely beyond help.

At this moment, Nan Xun said slowly, “Feng Yili, please excuse us. I have something to say to my Third Brother.”

Feng Yili did not object and turned to leave. After all, his wife and son were still waiting for him at home. If this matter did not involve Liu Xiaolan, he would not have bothered at all. Now that the matter had been dealt with, it was time for him to go home.

When only Nan Xun and Liu Xiaolan were left, Liu Xiaolan took a few steps back and looked at Nan Xun warily as he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Nan Xun did not seem to mind Liu Xiaolan’s actions. Instead, he said with a smile, “It’s rare that I find you quite pleasing to the eye. Why don’t you… return to Nanyue with me?”

“You really want me to return to Nanyue?”

Liu Xiaolan looked at Nan Xun dubiously. After all, Nan Xun was being too suspicious.

‘Didn’t he always hope that all the princes would die so that no one would compete with him for the throne? Why is he suddenly asking me to return?’

“I believe you must already know that I cultivated the evil technique. As such, you must know that I don’t have long to live. I’m destined to have no fate with the dragon throne. However, I’m really unwilling. I still want to seek revenge…” “So? What does that have to do with me?”

“I can help you seize the throne, but the only requirement is that you have to swear that you’ll avenge me when you have the ability. I want you to help me kill the Imperial Preceptor and personally worship me with his blood!” Nan

Xun said. His eyes were bloodshot, and his aura was filled with great hatred.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary on the surface recently, but only Nan Xun knew that every night, he asked his secret guard to invite doctors over. All the doctors who saw him said that he did not have long to live. It was useless even if an immortal came. It seemed like there was no doubt that he was beyond cure. He did not mind dying, but he could not allow his enemy to live. Therefore, he wanted to nurture Liu Xiaolan and turn Liu Xiaolan into a tool of revenge.

“Forget it. I have no interest in your grudges and the throne,” Liu Xiaolan said as he turned to leave. When he left the imperial palace of Nanyue in the past, he had vowed to himself that he would never return to that place in this life. He only wanted to live a good life with his son now.

Looking at Liu Xiaolan’s back, Nan Xun’s trusted aide said, “Crown Prince, he’s too rude. I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”

“No. It’s good that he has a temper. If he’s too kind, he’ll easily lose his life in the imperial palace. I don’t want the other princes to kill him before he can kill the Imperial Preceptor,” Nan Xun said as he shook his head.

“But Crown Prince, he doesn’t want to return to Nanyue. What should we do?”

The corners of Nan Xun’s lips curled up into a sinister smile as he said, “Whether he returns or not is not up to him…”

“Burn her to death! Burn this demoness to death! She’s the one who brought disaster to us!”

“That’s right! We just need to burn her, and everything will return to normal!”

Insults could be heard from all directions.

Yu Yunxi was sweating profusely as she shook her head. “No, no!”

Suddenly, Yu Yunxi heard Qian Jiao’s worried voice, asking, “Princess Consort, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
