"Spare me," Princess Consort said, realizing that Feng Gongzi had deliberately avoided us and left the city alone. By the time we discovered his absence, there was only some shredded meat left; it was his ghostly pet that turned against him.
The Eldest Princess turned to ask, "What about Qin Feng? Is he in any trouble?" Her eyes clearly showed signs of anxiety. The person kneeling below hesitated before responding, "Princess Consort, Qin Feng went to the capital with Nie Da Ren."
The Eldest Princess murmured, "Nie Rong? He should have bodyguards with him. Nothing should happen on the road, right? No, I need to send someone to check." After saying this, she coldly instructed the person below, "I'll give you a chance to live. Immediately take someone and secretly protect Nie Rong and the others."
The person was taken aback. What did she mean? Feng Lin was your son; he couldn't just die like this. He thought he was doomed. Yet, he didn't want to die after all and quickly expressed his gratitude, "Yes, Princess Consort. I will take people there right away."
The Eldest Princess's eyes flashed as she added, "Remember, you must protect Qin Feng at all costs. If you lose even a single hair from him, don't come back to see the princess."
"Yes, yes!" The person exclaimed in shock, filled with confusion about who exactly this Qin Feng was that the Eldest Princess seemed to value so highly.
Once they left, the Eldest Princess felt her body go limp and slumped into her chair. "Feng Er, you have finally returned to the capital," she said with tears in her eyes. At that moment, an old maid standing nearby quietly remarked, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the young master has misunderstood you deeply; it won't be easy to resolve."
A look of sorrow crossed the Eldest Princess's face. "Blood is thicker than water; I believe he will understand me." The old maid sighed and fell silent.
Suddenly, the Eldest Princess smiled and said, "I heard he has been accepted into Qingshan Mansion's Jie Yuan; it truly resembles him."
"Guan Mama," she suddenly asked, "What do you think about bringing him to our residence?"
"Absolutely not, Your Highness. That person in the palace holds a deep grudge against you," the old maid quickly replied.
The Eldest Princess's expression changed slightly as she clenched her handkerchief tightly. "Why is he still not dead?"
The old maid was startled and hurriedly looked around. Seeing no one else present, she finally relaxed.
The Eldest Princess stood up again and coldly stated, "No need to worry; I've already scanned with my divine sense—there's no one here."
Seeing that the Eldest Princess remained so cautious eased the old maid's mind somewhat. "Your Highness, we must be wary of that person taking action against the young master."
A fierce glint flashed in the Eldest Princess's eyes as she scoffed. "He wouldn't dare act against him now; he's afraid of me tearing our relationship apart."
He quickly shifted the conversation, but he would definitely use means to prevent Feng Er from participating in the Provincial Examination. The old matron was taken aback, wondering what to do. The Eldest Princess narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's see what the Seventh Princess does; I can't support her for nothing."
The old matron was startled, realizing that the Eldest Princess had already devised a plan. "You should also send someone to find out where Feng Er is staying," the Eldest Princess instructed, looking at the old matron.
The old matron hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Your Highness."
Outside the capital, a convoy appeared on the Official Road, and the city guards showed expressions of surprise. It had been a long time since such a large convoy had entered the city; usually, it was just a few scholars traveling together.
Qin Feng gazed at the majestic city walls and nodded slightly; the capital still looked the same. His eyes glimmered like a serpent as he scanned the sky above the city.
A Golden Dragon lay across the sky, looking magnificent and imposing. Qin Feng immediately noticed its strong exterior but weak interior. The golden dragon lay with its eyes closed, while a Golden Centipede clung tightly to its neck. However, the giant dragon seemed oblivious to its presence, remaining indifferent.
