They stopped the carriage again and lifted the curtain to search inside.
In their search, they discovered that there was a hidden compartment within the carriage, and inside it were several people.
The first person they found was Luo Cai Feng. After removing the rag stuffed in her mouth, she shouted, "Help! Father, please come save me!"
Upon hearing her words, the surrounding soldiers quickly surrounded the carriage. Everything happened so suddenly that Lan Zhiguang and his trusted aide had not yet reacted before they were encircled.
Seeing that there were not many soldiers around, Lan Zhiguang swiftly jumped off the back of the horse and launched an attack against them, trying to force his way out of the city.
His aide quickly joined him in fighting against the soldiers.
Since their martial arts skills were superior and the soldiers were just ordinary troops without much skill, they quickly knocked them down.
Just as they were about to escape the city, members of the Asura Gate, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly appeared to block their path.
Lan Zhiguang looked at the skilled fighters before him and coldly asked, "Who are you? Why are you meddling in our affairs?"
"You only need to know that you deserve to die; as for everything else, you don't need to know," one of them, clearly a leader among them, replied.
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhiguang realized that they had been deliberately sent to capture him.
He immediately moved to another hidden compartment and pulled out Consort Luo, saying, "She is Consort Luo of Prince Luo's Residence. If you don't let us out of the city, I will take her life first."
At that moment, the Imperial Guards arrived upon hearing the news. After listening to Lan Zhiguang's words, they hurried off to report to Lo An Lord and Dongfang Hao.
After hearing this, Dongfang Hao directly instructed them to hand it over to Lo An Lord for handling.
Thus, Lo An Lord and Gongsun Ming arrived at the City Gate. As soon as they got there, they saw Consort Luo and Luo Cai Feng in the hands of Lan Zhiguang.
“Lan Zhiguang, I know it's you. You can't escape; you might as well surrender quickly! That way, the Emperor might spare your life.”
Upon hearing his words, Lan Zhiguang was taken aback, raising an eyebrow as he asked, “How do you know it's me?”
“Your eyes, your instincts, and your courage.”
“Enough with the nonsense. You better step aside quickly! Otherwise, I can't guarantee their lives will be safe later.”
“They are no longer associated with Prince Luo's Residence. Do whatever you want!”
Luo Cai Feng quickly pleaded, “Father, save me.”
“Save you? Did you think about what would happen to Bing Bing when you put a curse on her? Did you consider the common people of Silver Moon Kingdom? Don’t call me father; I have no children like you.” Lo An Lord grew more agitated as he spoke.
Consort Luo and her daughter were left confused by his words, but Lan Zhiguang was startled and thought to himself, “They really do know.”
Seeing Lan Zhiguang momentarily lost in thought, Lo An Lord realized he understood what he meant.
“Lan Zhiguang, your national teacher from Star Dream Kingdom has already reported to Yama King's Hall. No one will come to save you, so you might as well surrender!”
"To make me surrender? You must be dreaming." As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the sword resting against Consort Luo's neck a little further forward.
Immediately, a line of blood appeared on Consort Luo's neck, and unable to make a sound, she waved her hands desperately, looking at Lo An Lord with pleading eyes.
However, Lo An Lord, who was already very disappointed in the two of them, showed no intention of stepping in to save them.
Seeing that the hostage in his hands was ineffective, Lan Zhiguang, filled with a sense of desperation, prepared to kill the hostage he held.
Fear and hatred surged within him as he shouted, "Father, I am your daughter!"
Clearly, Lo An Lord had no intention of saving them, so he ignored her words completely.
Just when Consort Luo thought she was about to die, Luo Bingbing and Dongfang Hao appeared one after another. "My people from Prince Luo's Residence are not for an outsider like you to handle."
As that cold yet youthful voice echoed, everyone saw a little girl flying straight toward Lan Zhiguang.
In the blink of an eye, the one who had been holding Consort Luo's life in his hands was sent crashing into a nearby pillar. The sound of breaking ribs and a heavy object hitting the ground followed.
Standing where Lan Zhiguang had been was the little girl—there was no doubt that this little girl was Luo Bingbing.
Consort Luo and her daughter were astonished to find that their would-be assassin had turned out to be the very person they had tried so hard to eliminate—Luo Bingbing. They stared at her with wide eyes, unsure of what to say.
At that moment, Luo Bingbing walked up to Lo An Lord and pulled out two pieces of paper from her bosom, saying, "Father, I have written them for you. One is a divorce letter, and the other is a severance letter."
"What do you mean by this?" Luo Cai Feng immediately asked the Little One.
"The literal meaning. Is there a problem?"
"You want to drive us out of Prince Luo's Residence. On what grounds?"
"Simply because I am the head of Prince Luo's Residence. Is that enough?"
"You..." Unable to argue against the Little One, Luo Cai Feng turned her gaze toward Lo An Lord, but upon seeing him, her anxiety only grew.
Lo An Lord was currently using his personal seal to stamp the divorce and severance letters. Seeing this, she rushed over, intending to snatch the letters and tear them apart.
However, Consort Luo, standing next to Luo Bingbing, suddenly grabbed her by the neck and said, "You wretched girl! Because of you, my daughter and I have ended up like this. I want to kill you."
Luo Bingbing sensed the movement but did not react. She was here to prevent anyone from gossiping about Prince Luo's Residence, particularly regarding her relationship with Lo An Lord.
Seeing Luo Bingbing being choked by Consort Luo, Lo An Lord panicked and repeatedly urged Consort Luo, "Let Bing Bing go first. Let's talk this over calmly..."
In that moment, he completely took on the role of a loving father, forgetting that Luo Bingbing was skilled in combat and that he himself was also a master.
Dongfang Hao, standing among the crowd, understood that the Little One was putting on an act and doing it intentionally. So when he saw that the performance had reached its climax, he quickly stepped in to bring it to a close.
He swiftly moved to Luo Bingbing's side and struck Consort Luo on the crown of her head with a palm. Then, he embraced Luo Bingbing and floated into the air.
After Dongfang Hao's strike, Consort Luo immediately spewed blood, even brain matter spilling out.
Holding Luo Bingbing in midair, Dongfang Hao coldly surveyed the crowd below and slowly said, "Anyone who dares to harm the Empress will meet this fate."
Upon hearing his words, the onlookers couldn't help but think, "So that Little Girl is the Prodigy from two years ago, the reincarnation of a celestial being."
Once they realized Luo Bingbing's identity, those who had previously felt a hint of sympathy for Consort Luo and her daughter immediately ceased their pity, declaring that they deserved it for harming the Silver Moon Kingdom's blessing.
The commoners quickly knelt down, repeatedly bowing to the two figures in the sky.
Though there were two of them, the focus was primarily on that Little One; after all, she was a celestial being reincarnated!
Seeing her mother die like this, Luo Cai Feng was greatly affected and became somewhat disoriented. She alternated between laughter and tears as she approached Consort Luo's side, pointing at the blood on the ground and saying, "Wow, there are so many red flowers here!"
As she spoke, she began to pat the blood. Suddenly, she picked up Lan Zhiguang's sword that had fallen to the ground. After playing with it for a moment, she suddenly thrust it into her own chest.
As the sword pierced her heart, she continued to mumble, "There aren't enough red flowers; it’s not fun unless there are more."
Lo An Lord frowned slightly at this scene, feeling a twinge of regret. However, he knew better that this was the outcome of their own making; they had no one to blame but themselves.
"Lord Luo, it's up to you to handle this from here."
After speaking, Dongfang Hao carried Luo Bingbing away from the City Gate and flew towards Prince Luo's Residence.
"I obey your command." Once Dongfang Hao had left, Lo An Lord instructed the Imperial Guards to take the still unconscious Lan Zhiguang and his confidant, along with the two individuals who had been hiding in the carriage, back to the Criminal Department's Prison.
Then, he ordered Gongsun Ming behind him to find someone to carry Consort Luo and her daughter outside the city for burial.
After Dongfang Hao returned to Piaoyun Pavilion with Luo Bingbing, the Little One set Dongfang Hao aside and began to paint on her own.
Seeing that the Little One was ignoring him, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and asked, "Little one, why is it that everyone else tries so hard to get close to me and attract my attention, while you seem uninterested in me?"
"Sorry, but I'm just not into you, so you might as well leave!"
Hearing the Little One's words, Dongfang Hao not only didn't get angry but appeared to enjoy it immensely. He felt particularly joyful and relaxed when he was with Luo Bingbing.
"Then what are you interested in, little one?"
After a moment of thought, Luo Bingbing looked up at him and said, "Do you have any kind of death exemption token or something like that?"
"What do you want a death exemption token for?"
"To play with! Right now, that's all I'm interested in."
"I don't have a death exemption token on me; I only have a jade pendant left to me by the Predecessor Emperor. However, it should be even more fun than that token. Here, take it." As he spoke, Dongfang Hao handed over the jade pendant from his possession to Luo Bingbing.
For the good things that come to her door, Luo Bingbing has always been welcoming, so she quickly accepted the jade pendant.
After receiving the pendant, Luo Bingbing felt quite pleased and decided to paint a picture for Dongfang Hao.
When Dongfang Hao saw the painting, he was naturally surprised, as the skill displayed in it was on par with his own. Moreover, the image of him in the painting was identical to his reflection in the mirror.
At that moment, Dongfang Hao increasingly felt that he had married a treasure. He happily took the painting back to the palace to prepare for the coronation ceremony three days later.
Upon receiving news that he had returned to the palace, the Empress Dowager hurried over to find him and demanded that he retract his decision to marry Luo Bingbing.
However, her words were clearly unnecessary, as Luo Bingbing's entry into the palace as his consort had already become a foregone conclusion. Ultimately, she left in disappointment.
Three days later, the streets of Silver City were covered with red carpets and adorned with red lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere.
The streets were crowded with citizens of Silver Moon Kingdom, who had come not only to enjoy the spectacle but also to admire Luo Bingbing's reputation as a prodigy.
Among these people were also some who were not citizens of Silver Moon Kingdom but spies sent from other countries.
In Prince Luo's Residence, within Piaoyun Pavilion, before dawn, Luo Bingbing was awakened by the maids assigned to prepare her. They first helped her cleanse herself and then assisted her in changing clothes and styling her hair.
Luo Bingbing understood that today was a grand event, and people from other countries would undoubtedly be present. To avoid embarrassing Silver Moon Kingdom, she allowed them to proceed with their preparations.
However, those maids were aware of recent rumors surrounding Luo Bingbing and dared not act recklessly; they carefully observed her expressions as they worked.
As soon as the Little One furrowed her brows slightly, they immediately felt a sense of dread.
After they finished applying makeup on Luo Bingbing, even they were stunned by her appearance.
The Little One was dressed in red, wearing a phoenix crown, her flawless face without a single blemish. Her small cherry-like lips and bright white teeth shone radiantly, and her elegantly arched brows were like strokes of ink. She was coldly beautiful yet utterly enchanting.
"Junior Sister, are you not ready yet? The etiquette officer has already arrived."
When Su Yan entered, she saw the maids standing there in a daze, their eyes fixed on the Little One. Following their gaze, she couldn't help but feel a sense of intoxication and daze herself, standing there for a moment before finally coming back to her senses.
"Junior Sister, if only I were a man."
"Why would you say that, Senior Sister?"
"Because Junior Sister is just too beautiful and alluring. If I were a man, I could take you home as my wife."
"Little one, are you not ready yet?" Just as they were speaking, the voice of the Snow Spirit Elder rang out from outside.
