Yue Xiyuan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, like a lightning bolt piercing the dark night sky. His chest heaved violently, his breathing growing heavier, as if his anger was gradually consuming his reason.

Yue Xiyuan walked step by step toward Lu Wenyun, who was being escorted by guards. His steps were unusually heavy, each step carrying an uncontrollable impulse of anger, as if he were stepping not on the floor, but on the fire of his heart.

When Lu Wenyun saw Yue Xiyuan walking towards her like a savior, her heart pounded, and the expected excitement instantly filled her body.

Her initial fear was instantly replaced by joy, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She knew that no man could love only one woman, and no man would be willing to hurt her.

"Your Majesty, if you truly love Wen Yun, Your Majesty, I beg you to save Wen Yun. Wen Yun is willing to serve you..."

Before Lu Wenyun could finish speaking...

Yue Xiyuan made a gesture with his palm, and powerful internal force was unleashed from his palm, striking Lu Wenyun's body until he flew out and landed heavily outside the main hall.

Lu Wenyun only realized now what kind of person he had offended; he was truly like the King of Hell, heartless.

If God could give her another chance, she would never provoke those two again.

Unfortunately, it was too late...

Lu Wenyun was wrong about one thing: Yue Xiyuan did have a heart, but that little heart was filled entirely with Yan An.

“Lu Liangrui, go back and tell your father and mother that Lu Wenyun attempted to murder my queen, the princess of Yue Kingdom, and the disciple of Venerable Baiqing. His crime is unforgivable. That slap I gave him just now was already a mercy. I will personally settle this score with Lu Kingdom.”

Lu Wenyun, who was lying half-dead on the ground, suddenly realized that Yan An was Bai Qing Zun Zhe's disciple. How could she possibly compare to him...?

But it was already too late. Tears of regret streamed down her face as she fainted...

Show mercy? Everyone present could see that Yue Xiyuan had used at least 60-70% of his strength in that palm strike.

If Lu Wenyun hadn't possessed some internal energy, he would have already stopped breathing by now.

Lu Liangrui, who was standing to the side, was stunned and sat there, unable to move or even stand up.

He only came to attend the wedding of the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom, so why has he turned out like this?

How could he explain this to his mother? He shouldn't have brought Lu Wenyun to Yue Kingdom in the first place. Now, whether he can go back is another matter entirely.

If the Regent were to use this as an excuse to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Lu, then no one in the Kingdom of Lu would be able to defeat it.

But at this moment, he who remained in the Moon Kingdom was the one in the most danger.

Lu Liangrui looked flustered and shaken. He stood up shakily, his brows furrowed, his heart pounding, and his lips trembling as he tried to speak but couldn't.

"Your Majesty the Regent, I truly know nothing about what Lu Wenyun did today, and it is impossible for him to have any connection with the Lu Kingdom. Since Lu Wenyun has committed such a heinous crime, I am willing to hand him over to Your Majesty the Regent for punishment, and the Lu Kingdom will not interfere."

He only asked that they let him go, though he didn't say it aloud. After all, he was a prince, and it would be shameful for him to beg for mercy, and even more so for the country.

Lu Liangrui is the son of the Empress of Lu Kingdom. Since most of the real power in Lu Kingdom has been in the hands of the Empress's faction, Lu Liangrui is the Empress's chosen candidate for Crown Prince.

Lu Liangrui's mission to the Yue Kingdom this time carries a heavy responsibility. The Empress is ambitious and has always wanted to befriend Yue Xiyuan in order to stabilize the Lu Kingdom's position among the three kingdoms by leveraging Yue Xiyuan's power.

This made Lu Kingdom the leader of the three kingdoms besides Yue Kingdom.

However, the Empress of Lu overlooked the true nature of her precious son, who spent his days fooling around with his uncle and was incapable of shouldering any great responsibility.

When Lu Liangrui met Yue Xiyuan's cold eyes, he froze instantly. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his legs trembled slightly, and a chill emanated from his back, as if a biting wind had pierced through his body.

"An Si, take her away. Don't let her die so easily."

"Yes, Your Highness."

An Si picked up Lu Wenyun, who was half-dead on the ground, without any pity, and left the palace.

"I will write a letter regarding today's matter and send it to Emperor Lu by express courier. I am a little tired, so let's stop here for today."

Yue Yufeng didn't even leave a glance before taking Gu Yanan's hand and leaving the main hall.

The best course of action is to leave this matter to Yue Xiyuan.

"Your Majesty the Regent and Your Highness the Regent, I still have many official duties to attend to, so I will not linger in the Moon Kingdom any longer. We will continue this discussion another time."

After bidding farewell to Yue Xiyuan, Crown Prince Feng Yan of Feng Kingdom turned and left. This farce must not involve Feng Kingdom, so leaving at this time was the most correct course of action.

Prince Heng picked up a cup of wine from the table and drank it down.

"I would like to trouble Your Majesty to arrange accommodations for me. I have not been out for a long time and wish to stay in the Moon Kingdom for a while longer. I wonder if Your Majesty would agree?"

Chen Jingshu and Yue Zhixiao are still missing, so he cannot leave here for the time being.

"Rest assured, Prince Heng, I will make the arrangements myself. After all, given your current condition, it is not easy for you to go out."

He still remembers how Prince Heng made things difficult for his An'an, and he's determined to seize any opportunity to annoy him.

Prince Heng was too lazy to argue with Yue Xiyuan any longer, after all, he had more important things to do.

Seeing that most of the envoys and officials had left, Lu Liangrui was now caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to leave or stay.

"Regent, Regent's Wife, I...I..."

Lu Liangrui hesitated for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Second Prince, I understand the simple principle that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Since you have already shown your sincerity, I have no reason to make things difficult for you."

Lu Liangrui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yan An didn't intend to cause him any trouble.

"Yes, yes, the Regent's wife is indeed just as rumored."

"Oh? What are people saying about me, Princess?"

Lu Liangrui wanted to slap himself right then and there. Why did he have to say so much to these two devils?

"Everyone in the neighborhood says that the Regent's wife is intelligent, beautiful, and skilled in martial arts. She and the Regent are a match made in heaven. She is the number one woman in the Moon Kingdom, no, no, the number one woman in the four kingdoms!"

Lu Liangrui wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He hadn't expected that this petite woman would have the same kind of charisma as Yue Xiyuan, making him feel breathless.
