Liu Xinqi smiled contemptuously, his eyes locked with Di Jingcheng's, filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent. The tense atmosphere was interrupted by the noise outside.

With a single glance from Di Jingcheng, Cai Ning was knocked unconscious by Cheng Er. Liu Xinqi, whose hands were already bound, was escorted out by two guards with a knife to his neck.

Di Jingcheng nodded to Cheng Er, and the two exchanged a glance, knowing that everything was going according to plan. Cheng Er led his men out, while Di Jingcheng returned to the main hall.

Although he was confident in facing everything, he was still a little nervous. When he entered the bedroom and it was quiet, he felt a sudden pang of anxiety.

I quickened my pace and went inside. Seeing Qinghehua and Zheng He standing calmly outside, I felt a little relieved. It wasn't until I got inside and saw my beloved treasure that I was completely at ease.

A moment later, the commotion and noise from inside the palace reached the inner chambers, and Azi opened her eyes uneasily. Di Jingcheng quickly grasped her hand and gently comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright, there's a fire outside, the palace servants are already trying to save people."

Azi snuggled into his arms, her brows furrowed: "Acheng, are you hiding something from me?"

"Today, Bei Xiang and Dong Yang joined forces to attack Xi Jing, so things are a bit chaotic outside. Don't worry, my darling, everything is under my control." Di Jingcheng said casually, afraid that she would be frightened.

Azi hugged him tightly, listening to the commotion outside, her heart pounding: "Yes, I believe you. How is Jinghan? And Prince Yuan?"

"Don't worry, my darling. I received intelligence earlier that the enemy forces on the Dongyang border have been subdued. Li Yannian is back," Di Jingcheng chuckled.

Azi naturally understood the implied meaning, and her tense mood was relieved.
