Ferocious Princess

At that time, if he was on either side, which side would he be on? Fei Yan felt that it was a little messy.

"Empress Dowager, the thing is here!" Zi Yan quickly brought in a few side dishes and rice.

Looking at Fei Yan's sad face, her heart hurt. Recently, Fei Yan had revealed too many emotions to her, "Empress, is there something wrong?" Zi Yan looked at Fei Yan and asked with concern.

Fei Yan finally reacted, laughing, she retracted her emotions, and laughed while shaking her head: "Nothing, I just inexplicably missed home!" Does Fei Yan miss home? Whether her home was in the Zhuo Mansion or in the modern era, she didn't know.

Zi Yan didn't speak anymore. She arranged the dishes properly, and then brought Fei Yan to the table, "The things this servant has made are all light. It's already so late in the night. Zi Yan explained to Fei Yan with a smile.

Fei Yan laughed, and as she ate, he told Zi Yan to sit, "You should eat too!" Fei Yan thought that Zi Yan must have had it hard, so she swallowed her saliva and let her eat with him.

In the beginning, Zi Yan was still not willing, but sitting down like this, was already against the rules. Now that they were eating at the same table, wouldn't that mean that they were on equal footing as Fei Yan?

"It's fine, let's have a chat while we eat!" Fei Yan wanted to talk to him in such a quiet manner.

Zi Yan knew Fei Yan's temper, so she didn't try to push him away and followed him to eat. She actually liked the feeling that Fei Yan was like a sister to her, and other than the Emperor, Fei Yan could already be considered to be the person closest to her, so she hoped that Fei Yan would have a good time with the Emperor.

"Zi Yan, do you want to leave the palace!?" Fei Yan asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Zi Yan seemed to be very sensitive, she immediately put down the bowl and kneeled on the ground, "Empress Dowager, could it be that this servant has done something wrong? Please enlighten me, this servant will change it, and I beg Empress Dowager not to kick this servant out, I beg you!" As she said that, Zi Yan's head fell to the ground.

Fei Yan felt her heart ache. Although she treated Zi Yan indifferently, she still liked this girl, but it was only because her past experiences had made her afraid that she showed such indifference. She put down her bowl and helped Zi Yan up.

"Silly girl, you have done the best you can, but you know that a woman's life will only last for a few years. I want to give you freedom while you are still young so that you can make a decision. I just want to ask if you want to or not, if you don't want to, then I won't force you!" Fei Yan smiled gently, but to Zi Yan, that smile was much warmer than the winter sun.

"This servant, this servant doesn't want to go out, this servant doesn't know where to go. In the palace, there is the Emperor who saved this servant before, and there is even a lady like Zi Yan, this servant wants to serve the Empress for the rest of his life!" Zi Yan looked at Fei Yan earnestly, wanting to explain her firm decision.

Fei Yan nodded her head, that was true, for ancient women like them, as a woman who was wandering the world, they would probably not know that if they were to spend the rest of their lives like this, it would be better to stay at the palace. "Alright, since they are not willing to leave, then just stay by I's side!" Fei Yan spoke these words with determination, as if she had promised them.

That smile was even more beautiful than a flower blooming together. Many years later, when Fei Yan thought of that smile, her heart would always warm up, until the end where it turned into pain.

"Alright, I'm full. Now I have the strength to sleep!" Fei Yan stretched her body, then casually washed herself and went back to sleep. Zi Yan looked at Fei Yan who was like this, and suddenly felt that Fei Yan had a cute side, and was not as cold as she usually was.

After Zhuo Lei received the letter from the White Wing and read it carefully, his face revealed a very bad expression.

He followed what Fei Yan said, and then he analyzed some of the things between him and Shangguan Minghao. Only now did he feel that there were many things that he had truly not understood at the start.

However, upon seeing the second piece of paper, Zhuo Lei's eyes opened wide. Although he could not understand what was written on it, he had a certain understanding and familiarity with the book in his hands, so he naturally knew that these words were similar to the words in the book. The only difference was that these words were simpler than the ones in the book. Zhuo Lei felt that there must be a connection between them, otherwise Fei Yan wouldn't have brought this item here.

"White Wing, thank you!" In the letter, Fei Yan had even mentioned her cute Divine Beasts. When Zhuo Lei thought about what Fei Yan had said, he could not help but have a whole new level of respect for this ordinary looking Divine Beasts.

The White Wing was also an arrogant person. Although it respected Zhuo Lei and thought like this, it still kept the matter from last time in its heart. This kind of recognition made it very unhappy.

"Cold!" When he turned around, Zhuo Lei's expression became serious, as though something big had happened, and he became extremely nervous.

Hearing Zhuo Lei's tone, he, who abnormally understood Zhuo Lei's temperament, naturally knew that the matter was definitely not simple.

"Mistress!" "What is it?" Han Li respectfully asked as he stood in front of Zhuo Lei.

Zhuo Lei looked at him coldly, then spoke in a serious tone: "Withdraw the person who investigated all those years ago!"

"Master, this …" Han was in disbelief, the matter just happened too suddenly, and the so called truth was about to come out. Why did Zhuo Lei actually take the person back right now, and even more so, was it the Emperor himself?

Zhuo Lei frowned and sighed: "Don't doubt my decision, there is no point in investigating any further, and things have changed. We need to preserve our strength!" As Zhuo Lei said that, he looked towards the palace with melancholy.

"Yes!" It's just that Master, how will the emperor explain it? " Although violent and cruel, it did not affect his judgement. "Master, you can't carry the burden all by yourself, you can't leave this Zhuo Mansion without you!" Han knew about the people and matters that Zhuo Lei cared about, so with these words, he hoped to make Zhuo Lei's decision come to fruition.

Zhuo Lei laughed and patted Han's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will make the Zhuo Mansion strong enough. Don't let Zhuo Jun and the others know about this yet, I'm afraid they might think too much about it. Zhuo Lei whispered a few sentences into Han's ear.

After Han heard what Zhuo Lei said, he started to panic: "Master, could it be that they are planning to rebel?" Han seemed to be very careful with his words. Although he had always known that Zhuo Lei would listen to the Old General and be dutiful towards the Emperor, this operation had exceeded his expectations and left him no choice but to think in this direction.

Zhuo Lei shook his head, "We are only protecting ourselves!" Zhuo Lei was not lying when he said this, if Shangguan Minghao had not acted against him, he would not have defended himself this way, and now that Fei Yan had said this, he would definitely listen. It was just that he was starting to worry about Fei Yan, and whether or not this matter would come to light little by little, that Fei Yan would not be able to accept it.

"Just do it. You will know about the other questions in the future!" Regarding Han, Zhuo Lei believed that he was at ease, that was why he dared to entrust such a huge matter to him.

Han also knew that this was no small matter, Zhuo Lei trusted him, so he naturally had to settle this matter well.

"This subordinate will take his leave!"

Zhuo Lei nodded, looking at Han's determined back, he felt extremely regretful in his heart. Zhuo Lei thought about everything Fei Yan had told him, and it went without saying that he was worried about her. Father, is this the person you want to protect? Zhuo Lei felt that it wasn't worth it for her father.

The spring breeze caressed Zhuo Lei's face, causing his face to turn wet. This was not tears, how could a man cry so easily, this was the act of heaven seeking injustice on behalf of his father.

Zhuo Lei thought of her little sister in the palace. He wanted to give Fei Yan a proper name so that she could truly enter the Zhuo Mansion, but … He also pondered whether or not Shangguan Minghao would fall into a dilemma if one day, they were to face him in a stalemate. In the end, Zhuo Lei gave up on the idea of letting Fei Yan join the family tree.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Zhuo Lei could not sleep, and wanted to take a walk, but he did not expect to see the Madame Zhuo sitting alone in the courtyard, looking in the direction of the border with a misty look in her eyes.

"Lei, I seem to hear your father's voice. What is he mumbling about? But I can feel that he's in pain right now! " Madame Zhuo seemed to be explaining to Zhuo Lei, but in the end she actually started mumbling to herself, as though she had fallen into a state of fear.

Zhuo Lei felt his heart ache as he hugged Madame Zhuo, "Mother, you missed father too much, which is why you had such a thought. It's just a misconception, it's okay, don't think too much, it will be okay, everything will be fine!" Zhuo Lei slowly made his decision, his eyes becoming firmer and firmer.

"Really?" Madame Zhuo looked at Zhuo Lei's eyes, as if she was infected.

Zhuo Lei nodded his head, "Mother, don't worry, everything will be fine!"

Finally, the Madame Zhuo calmed down. Seeing that the Madame Zhuo was truly tired, Zhuo Lei casually tapped on her sleeping point. Some firm thoughts were born in his heart, and he slowly grew up.

Only, they did not know that Old General Zhuo was shouting, but he felt an indescribable filth appearing, that kind of feeling wasn't something that a single person could see, and he wasn't considered human either. His senses were exceptionally sharp, and this kind of feeling made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Old thing, what are you roaring for?" The real National Lord Wei stood opposite to the Old General Zhuo, and said to him with a smile.

Old General Zhuo could not say a complete word, he could only look at his with those increasingly hateful eyes. If looks could kill, then National Lord Wei would have already been killed countless times over, but the pity was that things did not go according to his wishes.

Although National Lord Wei felt numb from the look in his eyes, he was still considered a person who came down from the battlefield. He did not understand what had happened and was extremely cunning, not caring at all: "Just stare, you can only stare, slowly wait, once the mystery of that book is revealed, you will not have the chance to stare anymore!" With that, National Lord Wei laughed even more arrogantly, and stopped looking at Old General Zhuo.

Old General Zhuo howled once again. It was unknown if it was a wail, a sigh, or a joke, but it was so loud that many people on the ground could not bear it.
