“The Ninth Prince will not be willing to let her marry me. They will definitely take action today.”

Shang Beiyu's bewitching eyes were filled with coldness and murderous intent, giving his stunningly beautiful face a fatal allure.

But in Xiao Jianzi's eyes, this stunning beauty was still somewhat ordinary.

Compared to their esteemed master's own stunning good looks, he felt that Shang Beiyu's allure and charm were too vulgar.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have transferred the people from several major branches of Black Purgatory to the capital. We have already laid a trap, and we are just waiting for the Ninth Prince and those bandits to walk right into it," Little Cocoon said solemnly.

"Heh," Jiu Yue thought of the little bandit girl and couldn't help but chuckle. He then said, "The little darling has been delaying for so long simply to buy time for the Ninth Prince and the others. You should have learned your lesson from the two lightning tribulations in the Di Kingdom and the Imperial Palace. Be wary of them using the same tricks again."

"This...do they know how?" Even though Little Cocoon was the leader of the Ten Great Demon Generals and had rich combat experience, she was still a little scared when it came to the tribulation lightning.

"Seventy percent chance," Jiu Yue said, getting up and smoothing out the slight wrinkles in his royal robe.

"Your Majesty, tribulation lightning is our natural enemy. If they really have this idea..."

They are unstoppable in the human realm!

Little Cocoon didn't dare finish the second half of the sentence, but he believed that the Demon Lord would understand.

"So I told you to prepare in advance. Those who should be sent away should be sent away, and those who stay should not even think about surviving." Jiu Yue's words were indifferent, ruthless, and resolute.

"Your subordinate understands," Little Cocoon said solemnly, her gaze falling on Shang Beiyu, then she asked worriedly, "But Your Majesty..."

“Even if they all come to Kyoto to undergo tribulation, the person I want to marry, I will definitely be able to take away.” Jiu Yue turned around and glanced at Xiao Jianzi indifferently, then smiled lightly, a smile that was captivating to all: “The only person I have ever wanted is her.”

"Understood! If things really come to light, we will fight to the death to hold off the Ninth Prince and those bandits, buying time for Your Majesty," Xiao Jianzi understood and immediately clasped his hands and knelt down to make his promise.

On the other side of Songmei Garden.

Ji Fengyao had finished dressing up. She styled her hair in a half-moon bun, with a golden hairpin in the middle of the bun adorned with a golden phoenix holding a pearl.

When still, the golden flower ornament held in the phoenix's beak hangs perfectly between the eyebrows; when in motion, it sways gently in front of the forehead.

It made her clear phoenix eyes look even more beautiful and delicate, and made her small face look even more exquisite and radiant.

The bright red wedding gown she wore when leaving the palace had a train a meter long and was embroidered with a golden phoenix soaring through the sky.

Tens of thousands of tiny golden beads adorn the phoenix feathers, shimmering with light as it moves, an extravagant display of luxury.

"Wow, Your Highness, you look absolutely stunning in this wedding dress! You're like a phoenix descended to earth!" Bai Lu exclaimed softly as she walked alongside Ji Fengyao, supporting her hand.

Ji Fengyao didn't feel anything about the wedding dress; to her, it was just a costume for a play.

So when she complained, she was quite carefree, like an angry young man: "That's why Shang Dongyang is not a good emperor. It's just a piece of clothing. It's made like this, so it can only be worn once. It's inconvenient to wear normally, so it's definitely not wearable. Just to make this piece of clothing, I don't know how much money was wasted. With this money to waste, why didn't he distribute it to help those refugees settle down and start a business?"

The palace servants nearby listened and said, "..."

Only Princess Chonghe could criticize the Emperor so ruthlessly.

People like them wouldn't even dare to dream of having their entire family executed!
