Ferocious Princess

"Yes, sir!" To answer so solemnly was like accepting an order in the face of a crisis. His tone was neutral and his face was firm.

Hearing Han's solemn reply, he was relieved. "You may leave, come back after dinner time!"

After Zhuo Lei said this, he went over to Fei Yan's bedside and slowly stroked her pale white face. There were tears in her eyes, it was said that men did not shed tears easily, it was just that they were not sad.

"Fei Yan, do you remember that I have always been weak and sickly, being mocked and ridiculed by others. It was you who have always protected me, my brother must have really failed.

After that, he laughed and cried again, one sentence after another coming from his heart. He wanted his true feelings to go and summon back the Fei Yan who was on the verge of death.

Seeing that the moon was about to set, Zhuo Lei let go of Fei Yan's hands and quickly wrote a few lines on the paper. After changing her clothes, she jumped out of the house through the window.

"What's going on? "Who told you what's going on?" The National Lord Wei was on the verge of going berserk. It was not that everything was in a good state yesterday, but why did he receive news today that all his cooperation was gone?

The group of people kneeling below looked at the National Lord Wei in such a state that they did not even dare to breathe loudly. Some were even trembling in fear.

All the hairs on National Lord Wei's body stood on end due to anger. His veins were exposed, the arrow was already on the bowstring, how could he not shoot?

"Someone, get out here right now!" The National Lord Wei was anxious, he wanted to see who was so bold, do they really think that he does not have the strength to back up now? If he found out who it was? It would be weird if he did not chop that person.

"Yo!" What kind of matter could cause the National Lord Wei to have such a grand temperament! " Just as National Lord Wei's eyes were turning red, Shangguan Minghao actually appeared.

National Lord Wei had wanted to curse, but when he raised his head and looked at the approaching person, he did not have the guts to do so.

"This subject kowtows to the emperor, but does not know that his majesty is here. Please forgive me, your majesty!" National Lord Wei did not dare to be negligent at the moment, but he was afraid that only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Shangguan Minghao casually swept a glance over National Lord Wei, and without any intention to tell him to get up, he went straight up and sat down.

"What was that thing just now?" Shangguan Minghao opened his mouth once again and his voice was light. He could still feel the pain and pressure like a strong wind had swept across his face.

National Lord Wei was startled, then he hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to Shangguan Minghao. "Reporting to Your Majesty, it was just a precious item that this subject had lost, which was why I was so angry. I made Your Majesty laugh!"

Shangguan Minghao raised his eyebrows, as if he was carrying a bit of trust in National Lord Wei's words, and had a bit of doubt in his heart. He actually did have some intentions of probing the situation today, and looking at National Lord Wei, he seemed to be very indifferent as well, "I heard that there's something going on around here, and many people are being displaced, so it might not be good this winter. We feel that since the National Lord Wei has some valuable items, they can be donated. His Majesty's words were too meaningful, he clearly knew that the other party was currently in an extreme state and could not even produce any silver, he had even purposely laid out a maze for National Lord Wei to jump into.

When the National Lord Wei heard that he wanted to donate, he was shocked. Right now, he was unable to transfer the money over, but the Emperor suddenly came to the Wei Mansion.

The National Lord Wei raised his head, wanting to find some clues. However, the emperor seemed to be very calm, without any ridicule or mockery, everything seemed very natural. Shangguan Minghao seemed to know that the National Lord Wei was looking at him and with just a glance, the National Lord Wei immediately lowered his head in fright.

"Your servant obeys the decree!" If he were to refuse, then it would be disobeying the decree. If he were to accept, then it would also mean that his mission would be very heavy, and the work he would need to do would also be not small. If he was unable to force it, then the only choice left for him would be to die here.

Shangguan Minghao paid attention to National Lord Wei's hand and clenched his fist, his mouth curved up and a ruthless smile swept across, he understood in his heart, he did this on purpose, and purposely gave the last push, to shake the mountain and beat the drum. This time, National Lord Wei was probably going to jump over the wall in desperation.

Thinking about it, Shangguan Minghao's mood became good, and his face became radiant again, "Get up, we can walk around, and will be heading back to the capital tomorrow. We will be relying on you to protect this border!"

After Shangguan Minghao finished speaking, he left with light steps, leaving National Lord Wei and the other servants kneeling behind.

"You're ruthless! Let's see how long you can last. " National Lord Wei snorted coldly, his venomous look causing chills to run down one's spine. The servants beside him did not dare to say anything, as only the National Lord Wei's heavy breathing and the sound of his snorting could be heard in the entire hall.

"Someone, go and investigate this marquis. This marquis is about to make his move!" Now that he was alone, he felt that the First Madam had gone, and he did not even have his own children, everything was just something he had to face on his own. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of sorrow, but this sadness was fleeting, and couldn't stop him from expelling them.

National Lord Wei immediately went to get dressed, he had to start preparing now, in the next moment if he wanted to take out everything, no one knew who else had the ability.

Shangguan Minghao hadn't seen her since the last time he had parted with Fei Yan. He didn't know why, but he actually had the urge to meet her again.

"Prepare the horse!"

With his order, he quickly mounted a good horse and rode towards the north. If he wanted to fight, he had to deal with it as necessary, right?

After Zhuo Lei prepared everything, he headed towards the north. He knew that time was of the essence, and Fei Yan could not wait any longer. He had heard his father mention before that there was a stalk of grass in the palace that was as beautiful as a flower.

He was also not sure if he could successfully retrieve the items from the palace, which was a heavily guarded place.

Actually, he had only learned how to hide and this was something that Fei Yan had taught him back then. However, Fei Yan had no memory of it, and even he did not remember it, so how could anyone remember how nice she had been to her back then?

After arriving at the Imperial Palace, Zhuo Lei travelled day and night, and rushed without stopping, finally arriving at the Imperial Palace.

With regards to the Imperial Palace, Zhuo Lei had a very good memory. Because of some matters, he had come here once before, so this time, he was very familiar with the way to the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial study was the most likely place for Zhuo Lei to hide. He turned to the side and dodged a group of patrolling people.

However, according to what his father had mentioned, if he wanted to find the hidden compartment, then he would have to keep it a secret since the royal family had specially planted it.

Zhuo Lei had good memories, but because he was still young at the time, the map his father gave him was not very clear, which was why it was so troublesome.

Zhuo Lei turned left and right to search for the place that was the closest to the map that he was the most familiar with.

"Clang!" With that, Zhuo Lei was overjoyed. Since he had finally opened it, it was very likely that the item was inside.

In a flash, Zhuo Lei entered the inner room, but it seemed like he was thinking too simply, one of his feet stepped into the secret room, the other foot was still outside the house, and many arrows were flying towards him.

Fortunately he had reacted quickly and dodged one arrow. However, because he had shot a few arrows at the same time, he was still unable to pull away from the narrow entrance, and one of the arrows directly flew towards Zhuo Lei. Zhuo Lei reacted in a flash, but was still struck by the arrow.

A wave of pain immediately spread throughout his body, but that was not the most crucial part. The most important part was that his hand felt somewhat numb. He frowned. He didn't expect that the poison would be quenched. He hurriedly sealed the bloodline to prevent the poison from spreading throughout his body.

Now, he had to rush even more to the best of his abilities. Zhuo Lei quickly entered, and only then did he realise that it was actually bright inside, and that the bright light of the Pearl of Moon actually made the Life Leaving Grass look extremely alluring.

Immediately flying, with a wave of the cloth, the pot of grass was wrapped up inside. Just as Zhuo Lei was about to leave with the Life Bestowing Grass, he heard all the sounds coming from outside, and knew that if he were to enter, he would probably alarm the people outside.

Without any hesitation, he quickly flew out the door.

"Hurry, surround him!" Outside, the sound of soldiers calling could be heard.

When Zhuo Lei saw that he was already surrounded, he looked at the roof and made his decision. He flew up and endured the pain, and he was even in a daze, as he broke through the roof with a single leap.

No one had expected him to be so bold. Not only that, he didn't care about his life as he directly rushed out.

"Archers, prepare!" the man who had just given the order called out again.

In that moment, the arrow arrows started to rain down on Zhuo Lei. Zhuo Lei frowned, and with some luck, he used his strength to attack his uninjured right hand.

With a wolf-like howl, his hands would move, and the arrows would turn back like magic in his hands.

Ah ~

"Ah ~"

The sounds of arrows being shot rang out. Rows of archers fell to the ground.

When those people saw this, their eyes were filled with terror. The person in charge of the earlier scene saw this and immediately pulled out an arrow from a nearby soldier and pierced it towards him.

Seeing that the man was attacking, Zhuo Lei immediately responded. His movements were strange and ruthless, the leader also felt that he was too weak.

And it was also at this time that Shangguan Minghao rushed back to the palace. Seeing that the Imperial study was brightly lit, he used a light movement technique and flew over.

"Your majesty!" When they saw Shangguan Minghao coming over, all of their gazes landed on him.

"What's going on?" Shangguan Minghao pulled a soldier over and asked.

When the man saw the emperor looking at him, he did not dare to hide anything, "That man barged into the Imperial study at night!"

Naturally, not many people in the Imperial study knew about the Life Bestowal Grass, but entering the palace without permission was already a capital offense, so there was no need to bother about him stealing it.

When Shangguan Minghao heard about Imperial study, the first thing he thought of was also the life-saving grass, causing his expression to change. Seeing that his subordinates could no longer meet his expectations, he raised his eyebrows and directly replaced his subordinates, then went up to battle himself.

"Return it and I'll spare your life!" The two of them seemed to have the same aura, and their auras were unusually large.

The moment Zhuo Lei saw Shangguan Minghao flying up to him, he naturally knew that this matter was not small.

Shangguan Minghao still wanted Zhuo Lei to renounce his darkness and come out into the light, but at the moment, Zhuo Lei did not care about the big picture anymore, he only wanted to save him, as long as saving him there were no other matters.

Shangguan Minghao saw that the black clothed man did not seem to care about him at all, and was slightly angry.

If Zhuo Lei was not injured, perhaps the two of them would have been at a disadvantage. However, because Zhuo Lei's poison had already started to spread, his movements also started to become a little slow.
