Mu Qiuyao snorted lightly: "What right do you think you have to make demands of me now? How I treat him, what can you use to stop me?"
Ning Ruoxue panicked and hurriedly said to Lin Feng, "Feng, hurry up and leave! I'll hold off Mu Qiuyao for a moment, get as far away as possible!"
"I, this..."
Faced with this situation, Lin Feng couldn't help but panic.
Suddenly, Shen Zhao said to Yu Xiyan, "Aren't you going to make a move regarding that Empress of Dayin?"
Upon hearing Shen Zhao greet her, Yu Xiyan was immediately taken aback, then asked softly, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Zhao pointed in Lin Feng's direction and said jokingly, "This Lin Feng should meet your aesthetic standards. I think he's quite a good match for you; he'd be an excellent candidate to be the emperor's son-in-law."
"Look at him, he's so cute and has such a good personality. Once he enters the palace with you, he'll definitely do everything he can to please you. What do you say, why don't you consider it?"
"Shen Zhao!"
Yu Xiyan trembled with anger, her eyes welling up with tears. She gripped the long sword tightly with her fair hands, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and stared intently at Shen Zhao!
"Is that how you see me?!"
Shen Zhao was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised by Yu Xiyan's intense reaction.
In his memory, wherever Lin Feng appeared, Yu Xiyan would always stop and stare at the scenes she had walked with Lin Feng, even when Lin Feng was not there.
In just one calculated first encounter, the aloof empress bestowed all her tenderness upon the man whom Shen Zhao considered utterly useless except for his pretentiousness and attempts to please women.
Despite his numerous attempts to stop her, Yu Xiyan was destined to meet Lin Feng and fall in love with him.
And I am nothing more than a lowly and despicable lapdog standing in the way of their great love.
But this time, what Shen Zhao saw in Yu Xiyan's eyes was disgust for Lin Feng, and a hint of something barely perceptible...
Panic.
"Don't be so reserved. If you want to save Lin Feng, just step forward. For the sake of the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager Gu..."
I can guarantee that you two will leave the Northern Region safely. From then on, you can live happily ever after, and no one will be able to stop you!
Hearing Shen Zhao's sarcastic and nonchalant words, Yu Xiyan felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
How could this be?
The Shen Zhao of the past was not like this; he would never say a harsh word to himself.
Lin Feng?
Does he deserve it?
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She got up and walked to Shen Zhao's side, saying each word clearly, "Shen Zhao, listen to me carefully: the position of Emperor's son-in-law of the Great Yin Dynasty can only ever be held by one person."
That's you. No one else can take this position. I can wait for you forever, wait for you to return to Chang'an!
Shen Zhao remained silent, glancing at Yu Xiyan without saying a word.
If Shen Zhao had heard Yu Xiyan say these words to him in his previous life, he might have been so happy that he couldn't sleep for days and nights.
But now, hearing these words, he felt nothing more than surprise.
No matter what changes have occurred to Yu Xiyan, he would never have any other thoughts about her.
Deep down, he would never forgive the woman who constantly suppressed and even killed him for another man.
After regaining his senses, Shen Zhao smiled indifferently: "Hehe, never mind. Since you don't like him, then pretend I didn't say anything. So, please wait and see what the show is about to begin."
After saying that, Shen Zhao got up and walked past Yu Xiyan, going straight to Mu Qiuyao's side: "Have you finished dealing with your matter?"
Mu Qiuyao: Not yet. Let me refine him into a furnace first. Kid, you wait a little longer.
"Let's put the furnace and cauldron aside for now. Before that, I have a score to settle with Lin Feng. Please step aside for now."
Mu Qiuyao immediately stepped aside and watched Shen Zhao's performance with cold eyes.
Shen Zhao said directly to Ning Ruoxue, "That Ning Ruoxue, right? You said you like Lin Feng, and are even willing to die for him, is that right?"
"That's right, no one is allowed to hurt A-Feng!"
Ning Ruoxue answered without hesitation.
Shen Zhao nodded, then looked at Lin Feng: "What about you? Shouldn't you also show that you're willing to die for Ning Ruoxue?"
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, looked into Ning Ruoxue's expectant eyes, and finally nodded vigorously: "That's right, Shen Zhao, today's matter has nothing to do with Ruoxue."
"I, Lin Feng, orchestrated everything. I beg you and Her Majesty the Empress not to make things difficult for Ning Ruoxue. She is innocent. Please release her."
Shen Zhao had learned this trick of retreating to advance more than a hundred times; he was so tired of hearing the same tactic that he was practically sick of it.
"Ah Feng...you..."
"Ruoxue, even if we die, we will die together. No one can separate us!"
Ning Ruoxue was so moved that she burst into tears and held Lin Feng's hand tightly.
Now, Raymond Lam can only resort to playing the victim and appealing to emotions to gain sympathy, hoping that this might give him a chance to survive.
Mu Qiuyao could no longer contain herself: "Boy, what on earth are you up to?"
"Don't rush, go watch the show!"
"Alright, since you two are so in love, I'll grant your wish. You can both live a good life!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Ruoxue's eyes lit up: "Really? You're really willing to let us go?"
Shen Zhao said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I, Shen, always keep my word."
Ning Ruoxue was overjoyed and immediately said to Lin Feng, "That's great, Feng! We can leave here and find a secluded place to live a peaceful life together!"
Lin Feng simply smiled and did not reply to Ning Ruoxue.
Peaceful days?
That's impossible!
How could someone destined to reach the pinnacle and possess unparalleled power and beauties be bound to the same place?
Having possessed everything in his past life, how could Lin Feng be content to live the life of an ordinary person?
However, the most important thing right now is to get out of there.
"Good, very good!"
Shen Zhao clapped his hands and said.
"Since you two love each other so much, you should be even more honest with each other. Lin Feng, do you dare to show your true colors to your sweetheart?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was so frightened that he took three steps back, instinctively touching his delicate face, his eyes filled with fear.
Seeing Lin Feng's actions, Shen Zhao couldn't help but smile knowingly, realizing that his guess was correct.
