Qin Yanning did not ask Xia Changge what she wanted. There was no need to guess the ambition in the eyes of the eldest princess.

Qin Yanning looked at Xia Changge and said with a smile, "Your Highness's wish is also my wish. If one day, the seas and rivers of Great Xia are peaceful and tranquil, Your Highness's trip today will be worthwhile."

After Xia Changge returned to the palace, he went to see Lin Yingfei. At this time, Lin Yingfei was like an ant on a hot pan. After seeing Xia Changge, she lost her usual domineering attitude.

Fang Zhijie had told her long ago that the Imperial Guards were now relying on Xia Changge, and they needed Xia Changge's help whether they were fighting or fleeing.

Thinking of this, Lin Yingfei showed a rare touch of intimacy towards Xia Changge, "Is there anything that brings you here, my dear sister?"

Xia Changge didn't respond, but simply looked Lin Yingfei up and down. "I was just taking a look, but why do I feel like my sister-in-law seems to have aged a lot recently?"

"That's right, sister-in-law has been staying by my brother's side all this time, so it's normal for her to look haggard. It's my fault for being so negligent as your younger sister."

Lin Yingfei was no fool. Hearing Xia Changge's words, she subconsciously touched her face and said with a smile, "Imperial sister, are you blaming me, your sister-in-law, for always dominating His Majesty? You don't know, His Majesty has been confused lately. I'm just watching over him day and night because I'm afraid something might happen to him."

Xia Changge glanced at Lin Yingfei with a half-smile, "I didn't say anything, so why are you so anxious, sister-in-law? I just think you've been really busy lately. Why don't you take a good rest tomorrow and let me take care of my brother for a day."

"I know that the Empress's sister-in-law has always taken care of her brother personally, fearing that the people below her would cheat and play tricks. Now that I, your sister, am here, you don't have to worry."

There were several princesses who came with Xia Changge, and these princesses naturally stood on their aunt's side.

The leading princess smiled and said, "We all know that the Empress is deeply devoted to His Majesty, but Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Majesty also have a deep brother-sister relationship. Your Majesty should take this opportunity to rest."

Everyone was talking at once, leaving Lin Yingfei unable to cope.

She knew that Xia Changge was doubting her, but she had no way to refuse her "kindness" at the moment.

Looking at Xia Changge and the others who had been chiming in, Lin Yingfei put on a fake smile. "As your sister-in-law, I understand the relationship between Your Highness and His Majesty. Since you have such a heart, I naturally cannot refuse. Tomorrow, His Majesty will let Your Highness take care of you."

Xia Changge showed a satisfied expression on her face. She did not forget to maintain the dignity of her royal family in front of everyone. She smiled and said, "I know that the emperor's sister-in-law is a very considerate person."

Xia Changge knew that Fang Zhijie had amazing spiritual power. If he didn't think of a way to get close to his warehouse, he would have to use some tricks.

This move of striking the mountain to scare the tiger is just the right way to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Lin Yingfei and Fang Zhijie were wary of her at the moment. If she wanted to see her brother, it was impossible for them not to take other actions. Then her men could take the opportunity to empty Fang Zhijie's warehouse.

That night, someone really came to Lin Yingfei's bedroom.

Fang Zhijie looked at Lin Yingfei, who had become much more haggard recently, and couldn't help but sigh. He stretched out his hand and gave everything in his hand to Lin Yingfei, "Let him smell this. It will ensure that he won't say anything nonsense in front of Xia Changge."

Lin Yingfei took the small porcelain bottle handed to her by Fang Zhijie, and her nervous expression instantly relaxed a lot.

Fang Zhijie hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Yingfei, since Xia Changge is already suspicious of us, we must find a way to leave in a few days. Although the five border cities are not as prosperous as the capital, the demon army is at the gates, so we must leave."

Lin Yingfei heard this, and a look of reluctance flashed in her eyes. "Do you know what you're saying? If you lose your status as the Imperial Master, how will you find someone to replace me? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

"You said you wanted me to live forever, to enjoy wealth and glory, and that you wanted me to no longer be troubled by the Luohua poison. Fang Zhijie, have you forgotten all the things you promised me?"

The pressure of the past few days pushed Lin Yingfei to the brink of collapse, and she tore off her disguise of being gentle and considerate.

Fang Zhijie opened his mouth and was about to explain something when he heard two loud noises coming from the direction of the observatory and the city gate.

Fang Zhijie didn't bother to pay attention to the chattering Lin Yingfei. He reached out and pushed open the window in the bedroom. A flame ignited on the opposite side of the observatory, illuminating the entire imperial city as bright as day.

From the direction of the city gate, a large group of demons rushed in.

Fang Zhijie took out the water mirror he carried with him. The warehouse in the mirror was quiet. The only difference was that all the magic tools and talismans on the cabinet were gone.

Fang Zhijie closed his eyes slightly, with a mocking expression on his face. He should have known that Xia Changge's request to see the emperor at this time was not only because he suspected him, but also because he wanted to trick him out of the Observatory.

The treasures in the warehouse are his reliance and also the biggest fear of those monsters.

Now that he has lost those things, he has lost completely.

Fang Zhijie looked at Lin Yingfei and growled, "Shut up! If you want to save your life, I'll take you away now. Otherwise, you'll stay in the palace and see what the old man will do to you when he wakes up."

"Once we get to the five border cities, I'll find a way to cure the poison in your body."

Lin Yingfei looked at Fang Zhijie with a distorted expression on her face. "If I don't follow you, you'll let me die, right?"

"You want to take me away, is it because you love me, or because you want to make a comeback with the power of the Lin family?"
