What troubled him even more was that Kim Min-jung was uncooperative; she refused to go with him, struggled repeatedly, and even bit his hand.

"You can leave if you want, I'm not leaving! I don't want to leave the capital!"

"None of you will leave here today! Guards! Seize them all and kill them without mercy!" At Hongli's command, two more guards rushed in.

Amidst the chaotic fighting inside, Chen Feng, who also had to protect Jin Minjing, eventually succumbed to his strength and was stabbed in the abdomen. Blood gushed out instantly, staining his clothes red.

Hongli, holding Yushan's hand, stood aside, observing coldly. Seeing this, Yushan unconsciously tensed up, her whole body trembling, and she couldn't help but say...

"Fourth Master, perhaps..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hongli resolutely interrupted her, "She is your enemy, and also the one who betrayed me. She doesn't deserve forgiveness!"

Young women are ultimately soft-hearted, and Hongli guessed that Yushan wanted to plead for the two, so he dissuaded her from doing so.

Chen Feng could have taken this opportunity to break out, but Jin Minjing was still here. If he left, Hongli would definitely not let her off the hook!

Thinking of this, Chen Feng turned back.

The Fourth Prince said to kill without mercy. The guards, without any hesitation, drew their swords and stabbed at the fallen Princess Jin. Upon seeing this, Chen Feng leaped forward and blocked her without hesitation.

The sword pierced straight into Chen Feng, tearing through his clothes and flesh. A sharp pain followed, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, collapsing beside Jin Minjing.

Upon seeing this, Jin Minjing's heart clenched, and she cried out urgently, "Chen Feng!"

In the past, Kim Min-jung would often call his name, but most of the time it was without emotion, either indifferent or irritable. When she called him, it was as if she was giving him an order, and he was willing to be ordered around by her, doing so with great pleasure.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that there was a hint of surprise and nervousness in her voice when she called him. So... was she worried about him?

This illusion made him ignore the pain of his wound. Recalling the past, Chen Feng was filled with remorse. His obsession had caused a disaster. He wasn't afraid of retribution, but he worried about what would happen to her.

"I'm the one who ruined you, you must hate me a lot, right?"
