I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

On the way from the shelter to the place where several people were being held, the wind and snow were very strong.

They could only move forward with their heads down and their clothes tightly wrapped around them, otherwise they would easily be blown over.

Unable to figure out whether the message Fang Yuan sent back was true or false, Wei Hongying simply stopped thinking about it.

She looked up at Qin Li, who was shielding her from most of the wind and snow with his body.

She opened her lips, hesitated several times before finally speaking bravely:

"Your Highness, is it absolutely necessary to seek out the female disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect?"

"What?"

The wind and snow were so strong that they were whistling past my ears.

For a moment, Qin Li didn't quite hear what Wei Hongying was saying.

Wei Hongying suddenly stepped forward, stretched out her arms, and hugged Qin Li from behind, pressing her cheek tightly against his back. She said loudly, "Your Highness, you don't need to lie to me. The female disciple of the Jade Maiden Sect has nothing to do with Zhou Biao. It was Your Highness who sought her out."

Qin Li stopped in his tracks, not turning around, but looking straight ahead. "How did you know?"

Wei Hongying smiled slightly, closed her eyes and said, "Because in the Jiuyi Mountains, His Highness once told me that His Highness was practicing the Yin-Yang replenishment technique."

"As for the Jade Maiden Sect, although this is the first time I've heard of it today, just from the name I can tell that it's what Your Highness needs."

Qin Li sighed, "Sigh, it seems I can't hide anything from you after all."

Wei Hongying hugged him even tighter, as if only in this way could this man belong to her.

"Your Highness, you don't need to hide it from me anymore. I'll say it again: I can help."

"My yin energy is inexhaustible; Your Highness may draw upon it freely!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Li closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt extremely sorry for this silly girl!

This silly girl likes him so much that she's willing to give up everything for him, even her virginity.

His initial purpose in approaching her was simply to steal her away from the protagonist, Qin Feng, and to cuckold him; his motives were impure!

call!

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

Qin Li opened his eyes, turned around, picked up Wei Hongying, and returned the way he came.

"Your Highness...?"

Suddenly being picked up, Wei Hongying didn't know what Qin Li was going to do.

Wasn't Qin Li going to take her to test those Northern Barbarians?

Qin Li walked with increasing determination, his gaze growing ever more resolute. "Didn't you say you could help? Tonight, this prince will have you assist me in my cultivation!"

Wei Hongying's face turned red instantly!

Instead of resisting, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Qin Li's neck.

Before long, Qin Li carried Wei Hongying back to the warm shelter.

Qin Li hooked his foot and closed the door.

Wei Hongying reached out and pulled the bolt shut.

The two worked together flawlessly!

Even if the sky were to fall tonight, it wouldn't disturb the two of them.

Setting Wei Hongying down, Qin Li said, "You still have a chance to back out. If you're unwilling, I will never force you!"

Without a second thought, Wei Hongying showed her attitude through her actions!

She tiptoed and offered her pink lips to Qin Li, kissing his cheek.

Qin Li paused, then looked at her.

Wei Hongying smiled slightly, reached out and hooked her finger around Qin Li's belt, "What is Your Highness waiting for?"

"I've heard that His Highness is extremely domineering, and he beat Xiao Xue'er half to death!"

"Why is Your Highness so reserved tonight? Could it be that I, Wei Hongying, am not beautiful enough to catch Your Highness's eye?"

At this moment, even hesitating for half a second would be disrespectful to Wei Hongying!

Qin Li reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her directly into his arms and forcefully kissing her.

The two slowly walked together towards the bed not far away, their clothes falling off one by one along the way...

……

Qingling Pass!

Finally, I admired the stunning figure of the Northern Mang Empress on the city wall from afar.

Fang Yuan, wearing the armor of a Northern Barbarian squad leader, led his group back.

Those following Fang Yuan were all his loyal subordinates from Tianyi Tower.

This includes Chun Tao, who was forcibly implanted with the Obedience Gu and was sent by Qin Li to infiltrate Fang Yuan's inner circle.

On the way back, Chun Tao followed closely behind Fang Yuan and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, was the Empress beautiful?"

Without a second thought, Fang Yuan blurted out, "Of course it looks great, right, brothers?"

"yes!"

Everyone chimed in, chattering amongst themselves:

"The men of Northern Mang are all incredibly ugly, but this Empress of Northern Mang is so beautiful! If she were in our Great Zhou, she would definitely be in the top three!"

"Bullshit! She's absolutely number one. The Empress gives off a completely different vibe from other women—majestic, noble, aloof..."

"If the Empress were to smile at me even once, I would die happy."

"Tch! Pathetic..."

"You're the only one who's successful."

Chun Tao wouldn't listen to a word anyone else said; she only cared about her master Fang Yuan's attitude.

She then asked, "Young master, is the Empress more beautiful, or is my sister more beautiful?"

Fang Yuan stopped and turned around. "Xia Liu? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Chuntao shook her head. "It's fine as long as you answer, young master."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan frowned, secretly displeased.

Is he the master, or is Chun Tao the master?

Is this how a servant speaks to her master?

Since returning from Mount Jiuyi.

Fang Yuan then discovered this.

Chuntao is becoming increasingly unruly.

"Young master, answer me!"

Fang Yuan took a breath, suppressing his anger, "Chun Tao, what exactly do you want to say?"

Chun Tao's eyes were filled with tears. "This servant only wants to know, in Young Master's heart, is there still any trace of my sister?"

"It's been so long since I've heard you mention my sister, young master. Have you forgotten her?"

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the others quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Chuntao, Chuntao, what are you saying?"

"Our boss dotes on you two sisters the most; we're all so envious."

"Your sister couldn't come this time because she had something to do, so I didn't mention her. How could I possibly forget your sister? Impossible."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Chun Tao's tears flowed even more, her gaze fixed intently on Fang Yuan.

These were other people's answers; she wanted to hear Fang Yuan's answer.

Her sister is still in danger, her fate unknown.

She made up an excuse to convince everyone that Xia Liu was alright.

But is everything really alright?

Why didn't she listen to Fang Yuan ask a single question from beginning to end? Should she think that Fang Yuan believed her, or that Fang Yuan didn't care about her sister at all?

"Young master, have you forgotten your sister?"

Chun Tao reached out and grabbed Fang Yuan's sleeve, tears streaming down her face.

"This is unreasonable..." Fang Yuan frowned even more deeply!

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought Chun Tao this time.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan swung his arm, knocking Chun Tao to the ground.

Fang Yuan never expected Chun Tao to collapse.

Given Chun Tao's skill level, his strength just now was not enough to knock Chun Tao to the ground.

He was about to reach out to help her up when Chun Tao stood up on her own, wiped away her tears, and said, "Okay, I understand!"

After saying that, Chuntao walked away alone.

Fang Yuan and his other subordinates exchanged glances, all bewildered by Chun Tao.

Chuntao, what exactly are you up to?

"OP, is Chun Tao alright?"

Someone stepped forward and asked with concern, after all, they were all brothers and sisters, and they didn't want anything to happen to Chun Tao.

Fang Yuan shook his head. "It should be fine."

After watching Chun Tao leave, Fang Yuan shook his head vigorously to gather his thoughts, then looked at everyone and asked, "How are the preparations going?"

"Everything is ready, but OP, do you really want to do this?"

"The Crown Prince's orders to us were merely to infiltrate behind enemy lines and gather intelligence. We acted on our own initiative and poisoned the city. If the Crown Prince punishes us, I'm afraid..."

Fang Yuan coldly interrupted, "Are you afraid he'll blame you? If this succeeds, we'll both deserve the credit!"

"At Xuanque Pass, the Northern Barbarians are heavily guarded, and we had no chance to poison them. But this Qingling Pass, which the Northern Barbarians just conquered, is our opportunity!"

"Say no more, just listen to me. If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, no one dared to say anything more, and they all clasped their hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "We'll listen to the Lord!"
