"Let go of the young lady!"

Luo Luo didn't care what kind of "God of War" this person in front of her was, nor did she care how terrible the rumors about him were.

All she knew was that her mistress was currently weak and could not withstand any mistakes.

The man simply picked Shen Fu up horizontally and held her firmly in his arms, his words resounding with conviction.

"I'll say it again, the Xuanwang Mansion is your home. Anyone can leave, but you are not!"

Shen Fu was stunned.

If she hadn't known they were just putting on an act, she almost would have taken it seriously.

No, she wouldn't allow anyone else's acting skills to surpass hers!

"But... I've only been here a few days, and I've already caused discord between you and your servants. That's really unacceptable!"

"As master and servant, one should understand one's identity and position. Even if someone has to leave, she should be the one to leave!"

Hongling was secretly pleased, thinking that if she could take this opportunity to drive this woman away, it would be worth it even if she got another beating.

The situation took an unexpected turn, leaving her hardly believing her ears.

"My lord, you... you actually want to send me away?"

"I gave you chances, but you didn't cherish them. You have repeatedly defied my orders and disobeyed my command. Now you even dare to disrespect the Princess. From this day forward, you are no longer a member of the Xuan Prince's Mansion!"

Hongling couldn't accept this blow; her body went limp, and she took a heavy step back.

Feng Zhu quickly helped her up, his face showing concern.

"My lord..."

"If you plead again, you'll be kicked out too!"

Hongling pushed Fengzhu away and ran out with red eyes.

A cold glint flashed in Shen Fu's eyes. She could never live under the same roof with someone who had once tried to kill her.

Only one of them can remain!

His chin was lifted up, meeting a pair of deep, dark phoenix eyes.

"Now, you're not still thinking about leaving, are you?"

Shen Fu quickly composed herself, revealing a hint of coquettishness.

"Your Highness, are you really willing to send such a beautiful woman away like this?"

"Even if there are three thousand rivers of weak water, I will only take a sip. Does my queen still not understand my heart?"

"..."

Has he become addicted to acting?

Shen Fu tried to push him away, but the man didn't budge.

"Your Highness is not feeling well right now, shall I escort you back to your room?"

In front of everyone, he carried Shen Fu and walked away.

Luo Luo stood there stunned, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Even if the young lady had feelings for the fourth prince in the past, they were still within the bounds of propriety.

Why does it feel like he's a completely different person now that he's with Xuan Wang?

How to describe it?

Thunder from heaven ignites fire on earth?

……

study.

The man glanced at the person who came in indifferently.

"What, haven't I made myself clear enough?"

Feng Zhu quickly explained, "I'm not here to plead for Hong Ling."

He knew that once the Lord made a decision, no one could change it, and even if they spoke, it would be useless.

As for Hongling... she has already been arranged to stay at the inn.

She was still recovering from her injuries and had suffered another blow, leaving her looking completely lost and dejected.

Feng Zhu mustered his courage and asked, "Does Your Majesty still remember our mission in Yongchao?"

"I certainly remember. Now that our objective has been achieved, it's time to close the net."

"But that Miss Shen... I mean, Your Highness, your relationship with her is just a charade, you wouldn't have developed real feelings for her, would you?"

He had never seen his lord treat a woman with such care, holding her so tenderly in his arms as if she were some fragile treasure.

He wouldn't have believed it even if you told him the whole story, unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Is this still the same aloof, noble, and arrogant lord he once was?

In an instant, a cold gaze shot over, almost freezing him into an ice sculpture.

"When did it become your place to interfere in what I do?"

Fengzhu knew that this was a sign of the Lord's anger.

But unlike Hongling, he wouldn't act rashly; instead, he adopted a sincere and comforting attitude.

"Has Your Highness considered that we will leave this place after this is done? You and the Princess are from completely different worlds. What will happen to her then?"

The man was indeed taken aback for a moment.

Actually, he had never thought about this question before.

Because of a mistaken marriage in a sedan chair, she unexpectedly entered his life.

After spending time together, he increasingly felt that she seemed to be hiding some unknown secret, which aroused his curiosity and desire to explore.

How could we let her slip away before the mystery was revealed?

He slowly curled the corners of his lips into a smile: "Then take them all with you!"

Feng Zhu was stunned.

He said all this to remind the Lord that he should know when to stop.

Did it actually make him more determined?

"Your Majesty, please reconsider! Have you forgotten that the identity of the Xuan King doesn't even exist? If the Queen Consort finds out..."

Shen Fu was a person who hated evil and was extremely wary and suspicious of outsiders.

If he finds out he lied to him, it will indeed be troublesome.

Why not just let this identity disappear completely?

……

For some reason, after that day, Shen Fu suddenly felt that the atmosphere between her and men had become a little strange.

The way he would glance at me from time to time, and the way he would casually touch his fingers, were all filled with a tender and lingering affection.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable about it, she didn't think too much about it.

After all, they had stated beforehand that this was just a transaction.

Who would be so ignorant as to take a transaction seriously?

This is probably a side effect of overacting!

Because she realized that even she herself was starting to act strangely.

Every time she set a trap for Jun Qiyuan, he would cooperate perfectly without her knowing anything, and even push things along and strike with precision, his methods even more ruthless than hers.

When she encountered danger and emergencies, he descended like a god to save her from her predicament.

It's as if he'd hold up the sky for her even if it were to fall, allowing her to do anything without any worries.

While she trusted him, she couldn't help but feel a little... dependent on him?

Shen Fu was startled by her own thoughts.

Their relationship is clearly one of mutual exploitation, and once it's all over, they'll go back to square one.

How could you have such a thought?

In her past life, she trusted men too much, which led to that tragic end.

The moment she was reborn, she decided to sever all ties and cut off all emotional attachments.

I have no other thought but revenge!

Just as I had composed myself, a message arrived unexpectedly—King Xuan had received an urgent decree to immediately proceed to the northwest border!

Why so suddenly?

No, she remembered!

In her past life, she and Meng Wan did not get into the wrong bridal sedan chair. She married Jun Qiyuan, while Meng Wan was carried into the Xuanwang Mansion.

Not long after their marriage, King Xuan died in battle.

Based on the timeline, it would be after the Double Ninth Festival.

In other words, his trip to the Northwest this time is very likely to be...

The thought of that outcome sent a chill down Shen Fu's spine.

"Where are the others?"

"The prince has gone to the drill ground. He will depart immediately after mustering the troops. He said..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already run out.

The butler shook his head helplessly. Why is he always so reckless?
