"Now that the person has woken up, there's nothing more for me to do. I'll trouble Miss Liu to lend a hand today, and I, Feng, will certainly repay you in person in the future."

Then Feng Beichuan changed the subject and turned to leave, not wanting to stay there a moment longer.

Seeing this, Bai Ruohan couldn't help but get anxious. She had worked so hard for half a day, enduring so much suffering, all for this man. But now, before she could even exchange a word with him, he was about to leave. How could she sit still?

"Your Highness!"

Bai Ruohan bit her lip and called out to the man's outstanding back.

Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan merely turned slightly to the side, raised an eyebrow, and looked down at the other person without saying a word, his eyes filled with gloom.

Bai Ruohan, at this moment, didn't know where she got the courage, and said to Feng Beichuan, "Does Your Highness intend to just leave like this?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan snorted coldly, then said indifferently, "I have already wasted so much time on you, isn't that enough?"

The man's words were filled with endless chill, making Bai Ruohan feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Wasting time.

He actually said that this was a waste of time on him!

After enduring so much hardship and suffering, all I got in return was such a disheartening statement.

Bai Ruohan's eyes immediately reddened, and all the grievances she had been holding in surged up at once.

Feng Beichuan showed no pity for the beautiful woman crying in front of him. On the contrary, he felt an endless disgust at Bai Ruohan's pretentious and affected manner, as if the whole world had bullied her.

His facial expression grew increasingly cold and stiff.

But the other party didn't think so. Bai Ruohan was confident in her appearance and felt that she understood men's minds very well. She believed that no man in the world could resist a beautiful woman with tears in her eyes.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with Bai Ruohan's idea, but the problem lay in the person she used this trick on.

If she had known earlier that Feng Beichuan was no ordinary man, and if she could have won his favor so easily, Bai Ruohan would have already achieved her wish of becoming the Regent's Consort.

Looking at Feng Beichuan again, he couldn't help but furrow his brow, wondering what sins he had committed to deserve such torment.

Then, a tall, slender figure in pure white involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Think of that woman; she could be happy or angry, and even her angry expression was exceptionally pleasing to the eye. She was far better than the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter in front of him, who not only lacked self-awareness but also constantly caused trouble.

Sure enough, nowadays, apart from that woman, no one else can catch his eye.

The thought of Li Chang'an's radiant smile softened Feng Beichuan's heart.

If only that moment could be frozen in time forever.

Damn it, why do I have to think about that awful woman again!

Feng Beichuan was in a very awkward situation. He had just had a big argument with Li Chang'an and they were even on the verge of never speaking to each other again. But in just a short while, he found himself involuntarily thinking of that person as if he had been bewitched.

As a result, Feng Beichuan's expression became even more unpleasant. Whenever he thought of the argument with Li Chang'an, he would recall her words that were like knives, and his heart felt as if it were bleeding invisibly again.

Li Chang'an, just you wait, I will never let you go in this lifetime!

After agonizing for a while, Feng Beichuan silently muttered a phrase that was half curse and half oath in his heart, and couldn't help but clench his fist.

Achoo!

At the same time, Li Chang'an, who was riding his horse at full gallop, suddenly sneezed.

"Whoa!"

After reaching out and grabbing the reins, Li Chang'an couldn't help but silently complain to himself, "Why have I been sneezing for no reason these past two days? Could it be a sign that I'm about to get sick?"

For the sake of his health, Li Chang'an even slowed down his horse's speed. While riding at a steady pace, he secretly grumbled to himself that he had been living too comfortably in the capital these days, and even his physical condition was not as good as before.

As the saying goes, hardship makes one stronger, and I haven't been out of the difficult military life for very long, yet my body has already started to protest.

But then she thought about it again and found it strange. She had never liked extravagance and debauchery. Although it was not as convenient as training in the military camp in the general's mansion, she would still practice martial arts and swordsmanship from time to time.

Which part of the process went wrong?

Li Chang'an was very puzzled, so he began to recall the days since he returned to the Empress's residence.

Before I knew it, I was shocked when I realized what was going on.

Li Chang'an was horrified to discover that no matter how hard he tried to recall, Feng Beichuan's face would mostly come to mind.

She never expected that in such a short period of time, she would have so many interactions with that person.

What a tragic fate!

Li Chang'an couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly. Then, thinking of what had happened in the court, he felt a surge of displeasure and couldn't help but criticize Feng Beichuan's impulsive and reckless behavior.

Then, she thought to herself that she should restrain herself more in the future, so that she would not be able to perform well when she returned to the battlefield.

Achoo!

Meanwhile, Feng Beichuan was unaware that his momentary lapse in judgment had caused someone to be troubled by his current life situation.

Perhaps it's not that they're unwilling to let each other go, but perhaps even fate itself doesn't want them to.

He suddenly sneezed, which brought him back to his senses. He felt a mix of emotions and then realized the situation he was in.

I came here to confront them and demand an explanation!

Why did I suddenly start thinking about that heartless and ungrateful woman, Li Chang'an?

Beautiful women are truly a source of trouble!

But she just happened to enjoy being tormented by that person, even if it was to the point of being heartbroken, she would still feel happy about it whenever she thought about it.

Fortunately, Bai Ruohan did not notice Feng Beichuan's series of strange expressions. Instead, she took the opportunity to catch her breath during the moment when he was distracted.

Hearing Feng Beichuan sneeze again, Bai Ruohan felt a pang of emotion, unsure whether to be happy or worried.

Although the man's expression remained frozen like a stone, Bai Ruohan thought that since he was still willing to stay there, it meant that she still had a chance to explain herself and that there was still room for maneuver.
