"Don't move." His voice was hoarse as if he was enduring something.

Yue Lingyin didn't listen to him and continued to rub against him in his arms.

She didn't want to die, and even less did she want to be eaten. What would he do to her? First, drain her blood, then slice off her flesh one by one and roast it, then drink a mouthful of warm blood and then a mouthful of flesh?

She was horrified and regretted coming to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. She cried, "Please let me go. I don't want the Four-Directional Sword anymore. If you let me go, I promise I will never appear in front of you again."

Wei Jinzhi had already drunk the medicine-laced tea, and after hearing her words, he became even more furious. He picked her up and threw her onto the bed, then rushed forward.

With a wave of his hand, the woman's graceful figure was exposed, and a large piece of cheese-like skin was exposed in front of her.

Wei Jinzhi pressed her shoulders, and the moment their skin touched, he felt as if he was scalded by hot water. His whole body was burning hot, and he didn't want to restrain himself at all.

Yue Lingyin is petite and weak, with a skin as white as snow. Wei Jinzhi is tall and strong, with wheat-colored skin from marching and fighting. The contrast between black and white makes people feel cruel.

Yue Lingyin tried to kick him in panic, but Wei Jinzhi found an opportunity. He had just wanted to scare her, but his body's desire was beyond his control, so he decided to follow his heart.

After a long time, Yue Lingyin's eyes were filled with tears, her cheeks were flushed, and she begged for mercy tremblingly.

Wei Jinzhi bit her lips lightly, let her go reluctantly, and fetched water to clean the stain for her.

Seeing her expression of anger but not daring to speak, Wei Jinzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I'll give you the Four-Sided Sword as part of your betrothal gifts."

Yue Lingyin's expression changed immediately: "Really give it to me?"

"Of course." It's just a sword. The girl has given her body to him. There is nothing to be reluctant about.

Yue Lingyin was overjoyed. Wei Jinzhi didn't want to eat her anymore and wanted to give her the Four Directions Sword. It was really great.

She quickly turned over and held the Square Sword in her arms like a treasure, "You can't break your promise!"

So happy? Wei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows: "Where do you live? I'll bring someone to propose marriage tomorrow."

Yue Lingyin couldn't think of any other address at the moment, so she reported the address of the alley next to Hongye Building. Then, for fear of being exposed, she didn't dare to stay for a moment.

"Since you want to propose marriage, I will go back and prepare, and wait for your arrival tomorrow."

Wei Jinzhi sent her to the door, then turned around to get his bow and arrow. He was going to hunt a pair of geese.

Lu secretly went to the servant of the General's Mansion and asked, "How is it? Did the tea have any effect?"

The servant blushed and nodded embarrassedly.

"The general gave the square sword to the girl and is going to hunt geese."

Wild geese? Mrs. Lu was overjoyed and so excited that she could hardly contain herself. She clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly to the sky, saying, "Heaven bless you! My son has finally attained enlightenment!"

It's just that she feels a little sorry for the girl. Mrs. Lu feels guilty, so she will give more betrothal gifts and compensate the girl properly after she marries.

Yue Lingyin saw Feng Mian with a sour face at the corner, and happily raised the square sword in her hand.

Feng Mian couldn't believe it: "Did he really give it to you?"

"Of course." Yue Lingyin said heartlessly, "He said it was part of the betrothal gifts and he's going to propose to me tomorrow. He's such a liar."

A betrothal gift?! Feng Mian opened her mouth. If General Fuguo found out he had been deceived, he would probably launch a city-wide search for her.

"Don't go out recently. General Fuguo is not someone you want to mess with. If you go out, you might get into trouble."

Yue Lingyin nodded randomly, and happily carried her sword to Hongye Tower. As soon as she reached the third floor, she attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"The Four-Sided Sword, she actually stole the Four-Sided Sword!"

"Impossible!" Qiao Shiyu was also there, her eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on her face: "What you took must be fake. With your skills, how could you possibly steal something from General Fuguo?"

Yue Lingyin snorted contemptuously and confidently placed the sword on the appraisal table for identification. The elder stared at the sword intently, carefully examining every detail.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, under the long-awaited gaze of everyone, the elder announced:

"This is indeed the legendary Four-Sided Sword. According to the quest list, it should be paid 298,000 taels of silver, the highest currently offered."

The whole audience was in an uproar. People were whispering to each other, shocked and excited by the result.

Yue Lingyin held her head high. "Senior Sister, do you still keep your promise to wash my hair while standing upside down?"

Qiao Shiyu's face turned pale, and she negotiated, "Well, well...I'll give you a hundred taels and let this go, okay?"

"No!" Yue Lingyin said righteously. He wanted to bribe her with just one hundred taels? No way.

Qiao Shiyu: "Two hundred taels."

Yue Lingyin hesitated, thinking that ten plates only had two hundred taels.

Qiao Shiyu stretched out a hand: "Five hundred taels!"

"make a deal!"

Yue Lingyin happily took the silver bills back to the palace. Dong Lizheng was diligently serving as the emperor and did not notice that she had gone out.

Or maybe he didn't expect Feng Mian to be so bold as to pretend to obey but actually disobey.

As the lights came on, a luxurious and magnificent palace banquet began.

The dazzling palace lanterns illuminated the magnificent hall, court musicians played elegant music, dancers swayed their bodies on the stage, and the ministers attending the palace banquet were dressed in their best clothes, talking and laughing, and the banquet was full of toasts and was extremely lively.

Dong Lizheng publicly announced the reward for Wei Jinzhi, a red-lettered iron certificate.

The scene became quiet, and some people felt that the emperor's behavior was inappropriate. Wei Jinzhi was the undefeated general of Dongli, commanding 300,000 elite soldiers. If he had the intention of rebellion, would he be pardoned or not?

"My decision is made. My dear minister, there is no need to say more. General Fuguo is the pillar of Dongli, and this is what he deserves. If you all achieve the same as General Fuguo, and fight for the country, I will also reward you with a red seal and iron certificate."

That's not what they meant at all! The opposing ministers choked, and when they saw Wei Jinzhi's half-smile, they shrank their heads and sat down reluctantly.

Shen Qingchen drank absentmindedly. He hadn't seen Yue Lingyin for a few days, and she didn't come to the banquet either. He sneaked to Qinghan Palace under the pretext of sobering up.

Feng Mian walked out of the darkness: "Prime Minister Chen has come to the wrong place. This is Qinghan Palace, where the Queen Mother lives."

Shen Qingchen had a warm smile on his face: "Thank you for the reminder."

Prime Minister Chen was the head of all officials, and Feng Mian was difficult to drive away, so he stood aside and stared at him.

Shen Qingchen stood at the door of Qinghan Palace, reeking of alcohol, his body swaying and his expression dazed, as if he had really drunk too much.

Feng Mian kindly supported him and said, "It's not appropriate to stay in the harem. I'll have someone escort the Prime Minister back to his residence."

Shen Qingchen glanced at Qinghan Palace and was a little disappointed when he didn't see Yue Lingyin.

"I have stumbled upon Qinghan Palace by accident. It would be rude not to greet the Empress Dowager. I would like to trouble Commander Feng to inform him that Chen Qing wishes to see me."

Chen Qing? Feng Mian had no idea what Chen Xiang was up to. Could it be that he knew the Queen Mother?

Feeling confused, before he could go in to find Yue Lingyin, Yue Lingyin came out on her own.

"Chen Qing, why are you here?"

Shen Qingchen smiled and took out a bead that shone brightly from his arms, “This is the Suihou Pearl, I give it to you.”
