"Having fought so many battles, you think your murderous aura comes easily? Alright, I know what I'm doing since you haven't let go of anyone." Black Owl took two steps with a nonchalant air, then came back, lowered his head and winked at Shang Xiye, saying, "However, I do find your little princess quite interesting. If you decide to let go one day, remember to tell me, and I might be interested in teasing her."

"Get out!" Shang Xiye roared angrily.

Before he could make a move, Black Owl had already left with a laugh, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness, this man..."

Wuhen was furious. Even the Emperor had to be polite when speaking to his prince. Who was this person?!

Shang Xiye had already regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "If you see him in the future, you don't need to pay him any attention."

But this guy clearly said he wanted to flirt with the princess!

Wuhen secretly resented his own Wang family for their lack of romantic understanding. The princess possessed extraordinary magical skills and was straightforward and capable. Although her background as a bandit was lowly, her health was far superior to that of the delicate young ladies raised in the inner palace, making it much easier for her to bear children in the future. The prince was a single son, and there was no one more suitable for him than the princess.

Shang Xiye was unaware that his bodyguard was already worrying about his ability to have an heir. His mood was somewhat unsettled by Hei Xiao's words.

Upon entering Ji Fengyao's bedroom, seeing her dressed only in a thin, bright red dress, he was somewhat angry: "You dress like this?"

Wuhen carried Shang Xiye, chair and all, into the room, then quickly bowed and withdrew.

"Oh, Your Highness, you've arrived?" Ji Fengyao stood up in surprise, her lustrous hair swaying slightly behind her as she wore her light gauze dress, making her tall, slender, and charming figure appear even more striking.

Seeing Shang Xiye staring at him, his eyes were so dark they were almost frozen.

Ji Fengyao looked down at her clothes; they were long-sleeved and long-sleeved, but her nightgown was a bit thin.

Suddenly remembering Black Owl who had just left, he thought the two must have run into each other.

I wonder if Black Owl relayed her words to him, which is why he looked so unhappy.

In order to preserve the hard-won good start to the cooperation, Ji Fengyao hurriedly went up to him in a fawning manner and said sweet words to please him: "Your Highness has condescended to come late at night, and I am deeply honored; I am deeply grateful for your protection of me! Come, let me help you change your clothes and go to bed."

Before she finished, she added in an extremely ingratiating tone, "You sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the couch."

"Have you forgotten something?" Shang Xiye asked, choking with anger.

Huh? What?

Ji Fengyao squatted down beside Shang Xiye, blinking her phoenix eyes like black grapes, trying hard to recall and reflect on what mistakes she had made today. She swallowed hard, remembering how she had roared at the whole city from the carriage during the day.

It was already embarrassing enough that he married a bandit, but she also put on a show of being a shrew.

Indeed...it made him lose face.

So, is he here to settle scores after the fact?

She timidly extended a fair and delicate hand in front of him, pouting pitifully, "Go ahead and hit me. I know I embarrassed you during the day, but I've already told you, I can't stand being bullied."

So I know I'm wrong, but I still dare to do it!

Looking at her stubborn expression, Shang Xiye was both amused and annoyed. He put on a stern face and reminded her, "Acupuncture!"

Ji Fengyao then suddenly remembered that after she cleaned Shang Xiye's boils that day, she had indeed told Wushang that she would give him acupuncture every day to suppress the poison after returning to the palace. Thinking that he had just returned to the palace and must be busy, she originally planned to bring it up again tomorrow.

So he's not planning to pursue the matter and is going to let her go?

It seems he's quite susceptible to the tactic of feigning weakness and trying to please others.
