Ling Feng frowned slightly. Why did he care about the prince? He seemed to hear the princess begging for mercy.
"Did you hear that? The princess seemed to be crying?"
Ling Ying glanced at the house, stood up and walked away.

At this moment, Tuoba Wu had already emerged from the prison and heard that Chen Jingxi had returned to Chu Jinghuai's side. The teacup in his hand was suddenly crushed.
"Chu Jingxun!" Tuoba Wu roared, his eyes wide open as if about to spit out fire.
He quickly walked over to Chu Jingxun, who was leisurely sipping tea, and demanded, "Why did you let her escape on your territory? Are you deliberately playing a trick on me?"
Chu Jingxun's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He just gently put down the teacup in his hand, with a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
He did not directly answer Tuoba Wu's question, but slowly stood up and walked out with his sleeves fluttering.
Tuoba Wu was about to catch up.
Seeing this, the man in green following Chu Jingxun stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Fifth Prince, please be careful with your words. First, you didn't deliver the person as agreed.

The words of the man in green were like a heavy hammer, hitting Tuoba Wu's heart hard.
His face was ashen, his fists clenched, and he angrily said, "That damn woman Chen Jingxi, is she a woman? Whether she speaks or behaves, she has nothing to do with the word woman. She is simply a man among women, even more manly than men."
After hearing what he said, the man in blue remembered that Chen Jingxi had beaten Zuo Xiangtian's seventh brother severely and stripped him down to his underwear. The corners of his mouth twitched.
He still spoke up to remind: "I advise the Fifth Prince to leave Daxia as soon as possible."
Tuoba Wu snorted coldly.

The man in green returned to Chu Jingxun and said, "Your Highness, now that Princess Su has returned to Prince Su, shouldn't we return to the capital earlier?"
The man in green glanced at Chu Jingxun after he finished speaking. Although the prince claimed to the outside world that he was ill and would not see guests, if Prince Su returned to the capital first, everyone would know that the prince was not in the capital.
Then, the prince's excuse of illness for not seeing guests over the years would be a cause of suspicion.
Chu Jingxun said calmly: "Go and prepare."
The man in blue retreated.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew. Although it was the end of summer and the weather was still quite hot, he coughed several times before calming down.
My health is not good after all.
