When Li Mufeng arrived outside the city, the ground was in a mess, with many corpses lying haphazardly.

"What happened? Who attacked you?"

Wang Feng helped up a guard who was still breathing and asked him anxiously.

"I...I am incompetent and failed to protect...Doctor Ouyang. He...he fell off a cliff."

After the guard finished speaking, he breathed his last.

"Your Highness, look..."

The arrows embedded in the guards were clearly made of a material specially used by the Zixiao Kingdom. Li Mufeng clenched his iron fist, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted a command.

"I demand to see him alive or dead, once he has come down the mountain."

At his command, Li Mufeng's men, without delay, launched a thorough search. They quickly found an elderly man at the foot of the mountain. The old man's clothes were torn, and beneath him lay a thick bundle. Upon seeing this, Wang Feng rushed forward to examine him, shouting with joy.

"Your Highness, there is still a faint breath left. If we can bring him to the palace as soon as possible and have the imperial physician treat him, there may still be a chance to cure him."

"No."

Li Mufeng quickly stopped him, then beckoned to a guard.

"Go to the Prime Minister's residence and summon the Princess Consort."

Doctor Ouyang is currently unconscious and has fallen from such a high mountain. Even if he is not dead, he must have broken several bones. Moving him rashly might backfire, not to mention the bumpy ride along the way.

At this moment, "Blood Purple Rose" in the Prime Minister's mansion was thinking about how to kill Zheng Yibo. Zhao Hu was right. If she killed someone for no reason, it would inevitably cause people to speculate.

That day, Xing'er was disheveled and crying. Even if everyone didn't see Zheng Yibo molest her, they would still have doubts.

If he were to make a move against Zheng Yibo at this time, who knows what everyone would think of Xing'er! What Zhao Hu could think of, others could naturally guess as well.

Therefore, we must find a legitimate reason to kill him, so as not to ruin Xing'er's reputation.

"If all else fails, we can start with the accounts. But wouldn't that seem too deliberate? Checking the accounts for no reason doesn't seem like the best approach."

"Young Miss, someone is looking for you."

Wu An limped in, and "Blood Purple Rose" looked bewildered.

Who is it?

As night fell, the streets became quiet and mysterious. Moonlight shone on the bluestone slabs, giving them a faint silvery sheen, like an ink wash painting.

"Blood Purple Rose" rode a fast horse, followed by a man, whose voice was cold and eerie.

"You'd better not lie to me, or I'll make you wish you were dead."

"Your Highness is joking. The Prince is right ahead."

The guard hurriedly explained, and Zhao Hu spoke loudly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, he is indeed one of our own."

They walked in silence until the guard, leading "Blood Purple Rose," descended the valley and finally met Li Mufeng.

"Does Your Highness possess medical skills? Please take a look and see if the Divine Physician Ouyang can still save him."

Li Mufeng was overjoyed to see "Blood Purple Rose" arrive. "Blood Purple Rose," using the moonlight, glanced at the ground and saw an elderly man with white hair, frowning.

"Why should I save him? He's a complete stranger to me."

"Blood Purple Rose" killed countless people throughout her life, but rarely saved anyone for no reason.

"Dr. Ouyang, the physician I invited to treat my elder brother, I never expected him to be ambushed here..."

Upon hearing "Blood Purple Rose's" cold words, Li Mufeng patiently explained.

"Then I will definitely not save him. Unless Your Highness agrees to one condition."

Just kidding. I originally wanted to use saving the eldest prince Li Mutian as an opportunity to negotiate a divorce with Li Mufeng, but he ended up bringing in another doctor, Ouyang. If I save him and he cures Li Mutian's madness, wouldn't I be at a loss? How could I then get a divorce?

"Han Ziwei, don't push your luck. It's your honor that I'm begging you, don't be ungrateful."

Knowing that "Blood Purple Rose" was going to bring up the matter of divorce again, Li Mufeng's face instantly turned sour. What was wrong with him? Why did this woman insist on leaving him?

"I neither like nor need this honor. Besides, I save people based entirely on my mood. If I'm not in a good mood, I'm sorry, I won't treat this person."

As "Blood Purple Rose" spoke, she turned to leave. Xiao You, the spatial spirit in her mind, couldn't help but speak up.

"My dear lady, this is a great deed! Didn't you want 'rain bombs'? Isn't this the perfect opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, "Blood Purple Rose"'s eyes lit up. Just as she was about to turn around, her wrist was grabbed tightly.

"Dr. Ouyang, you have to save him whether you want to or not. I order you to save him."

"Blood Purple Rose" was almost roughly thrown to the ground by Li Mufeng. Just as she was about to get up and fight back, she heard him grit his teeth.

"You just want a divorce, don't you? I'll grant your wish."

Li Mufeng practically spat out those words through clenched teeth, and a murmur rippled through the surrounding crowd.

"What? The princess wants a divorce from our prince? Why?!"

"Our prince and princess seem to be a perfect match! How could they be getting a divorce?"

...

Li Mufeng's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his face turning a frighteningly pale. Seeing this, Wang Feng quickly shouted a reprimand.

"Shut up, everyone. Anyone who dares to say another word will be court-martialed."

"Get out of my sight, all of you."

Wang Feng's words further spurred Li Mufeng away, and Zhou Fengyun's words echoed in his ears.

"Guard Wang, the Prince hasn't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you and the Princess..."

...

Once a rift develops between people, it's inevitable to overthink things. Wang Feng didn't want to embarrass Li Mufeng, but what Li Mufeng heard was that Wang Feng didn't like hearing others say that he and "Xue Ziwei" were a good match.

Moreover, Wang Feng did indeed have special feelings for "Xue Ziwei". On the day "Xue Ziwei" bandaged him, he was shirtless. Having never been in contact with a woman before, he gradually lost himself under "Xue Ziwei's" gentle application of medicine. Although he tried his best to control his feelings, his eyes could not lie. In order to prevent the two from having contact, Li Jingfeng tried his best to keep Wang Feng by his side.

Let Zhao Hu continue to protect "Blood Purple Rose", but...

Watching Wang Feng's departing figure, Li Mufeng was on the verge of collapse, and the words that came out of his mouth were so cold.

"If the matter of 'divorce' is truly what you desire, I will grant it to you. You'd better be able to help me revive Doctor Ouyang, otherwise I will not spare you."

"You...you scumbag."

"Blood Purple Rose" cursed under her breath and began to save people, not for Li Mufeng, but to make the space have more of what she wanted.

"Blood Purple Rose" convinced herself, and she worked for more than two hours. In the dark moonlight, beads of sweat appeared on "Blood Purple Rose's" head, shining golden in the moonlight, as if a goddess from the heavens had descended to earth. Li Mufeng's heart skipped a beat.

"Alright. Your Highness, have someone find a stretcher and carry him back to the capital!"

"Blood Purple Rose" spoke in a clear, melodious voice, followed by Wang Feng's voice from the mountaintop.

"Your Highness, I have found a piece of wood. I wonder if it will be of any use?"

"Put him down!"

Upon hearing this, "Blood Purple Rose" sincerely praised it.

"You have a good eye, Your Highness. Your subordinate is quite good."

"So you're saying you divorced me for his sake?"

A murderous intent suddenly rose in Li Mufeng's pupils, and for a brief moment, he even wanted to kill Wang Feng.

"Is Your Highness jealous? Don't worry, I will keep my distance from anyone or anything related to you."

"Blood Purple Rose" pushed him a foot away, and Li Mufeng cleared his throat.

"Don't flatter yourself. I'll be jealous of you, you fickle woman."

Even so, Li Mufeng's hands still unconsciously clenched, but his murderous aura lessened somewhat.

"As long as it's not Wang Feng."

Just as the atmosphere between the two was awkward, Wang Feng led two men down carrying a wide wooden plank, when Li Mufeng said...

"After you return, go to the punishment hall and receive fifty strokes of the military rod."

Wang Feng: "..."

Huh? No, Your Highness, I haven't done anything wrong, have I?

"Leaving the group without permission to search for this broken plank—is that a suitable charge?"

Li Mufeng gritted his teeth. Although it wasn't Wang Feng, Wang Feng's flattery of "Blood Purple Rose" still made him very unhappy.

"Blood Purple Rose" shook its head.

"This man is clearly settling a personal score."

"Yes, I know I was wrong."

Wang Feng was extremely respectful and showed no sign of disobedience. Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was instructing two guards to lift Doctor Ouyang onto a stretcher, a sharp gust of wind swept towards them from the sky.

"careful."

By the moonlight, Li Mufeng saw an arrow hurtling toward "Blood Purple Rose" in the back. Without thinking, he pushed it away.

“Li Mufeng…”

"Blood Purple Rose" exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Highness..."

"There's an assassin..."

"Protect the Prince and the Princess..."

...

The valley was thrown into chaos.
