The council hall in the front courtyard of the Prince Li's residence.
Steward Chen Bozheng reported the new queen's situation to the Prince Li.
He had assumed the prince wouldn't be interested in the new princess, but after hearing Uncle Chen's words, the Prince Li raised an eyebrow: "Is he really not afraid?"
“Yes,” Chen Bo said respectfully, “this old servant did not see any fear on the Princess’s face. Not only was she not afraid, she seemed to be…”
At this point, Chen Bo paused for a moment.
"Seems like what?"
Uncle Chen: "It seems they are quite interested in you."
Although she didn't ask any questions about the prince along the way, the new princess remained calm and composed. Only when the prince was mentioned did her beautiful fox-like eyes sparkle like stars.
Chen Bo couldn't think of any other explanation besides being interested in the King of Li.
"oh?"
The tyrannical king curled his lips with interest, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
"Hasn't he heard of my fearsome reputation? Rumors are circulating that I love drinking human blood. Isn't he worried that one day I might suddenly decide to eat his flesh and drink his blood?"
Uncle Chen had no answer to this, so he just stood quietly to the side.
Shortly afterward, the bodyguard responsible for keeping an eye on Fu Bai entered the council hall.
The Prince Li took a sip of tea and asked his guard, "What's the situation on his end?"
The guard cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Young Master Chen has settled in. He hasn't complained about the living conditions, but..."
The guard secretly glanced at the Prince, and he was a little hesitant to tell the prince what Fu Bai had said.
"Just what?"
The guard stammered, "Young Master Chen... Young Master Chen said that if you have the ability, Your Highness, you should never go looking for him again."
The tyrannical king was drinking tea when he heard this and choked, coughing a few times.
After recovering, his expression darkened: "What did he say?"
The guard repeated it in a low voice.
"If you're so capable, never go looking for him again..."
The guards couldn't understand what the young master of the Chen family was thinking. These words didn't sound like something a newlywed wife who had never even met before would say to her husband. Only an old married couple in a cold war would say something like that, right?
Uncle Chen lowered his head, his expression having changed from surprise to calm.
Thinking about it carefully, given the princess's personality, it doesn't seem surprising at all that she would say such a thing.
that is……
Chen Bo also stole a glance at the King of Li.
The Prince of Li is no ordinary person; no one has dared to speak of him like that until now.
I wonder how the prince will deal with the new princess.
Chen Bo muttered to himself, but then he saw the King of Li slam his cup down on the table and sneer, "Very good, my new queen is indeed very good."
"I want to see what he's capable of."
He stood up after speaking, and left in a huff.
He seemed angry, but Uncle Chen and the secret guards were all veterans who had followed the Prince for many years, and they knew the Prince to some extent.
They clearly saw the slight upturn of the King's lips and his somewhat hurried back as he left.
The guard glanced at Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen glanced at the guards.
Finally, the guard couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Uncle Chen, did the Prince and Young Master Chen know each other before?"
Uncle Chen raised his hand and tapped the guard on the head: "You blind fool, what are you calling Young Master Chen for? Call me Princess!"
The guard responded with a simple, honest "Oh."
Then he asked, "So, did Your Highness and Princess Chen...know each other before?"
Uncle Chen shook his head: "I don't know either. The prince has always been mysterious in his actions. Who knows when he and the princess took a liking to each other?"

Jianjia Courtyard.
Nanxing had just finished boiling water and was carrying it out of the water room when she saw a tall man walking towards her from afar.
Upon realizing who that person was, Nanxing felt as if the blood in her body had frozen.
It's the Tyrant King Li Jingxing!
The legendary Li Jingxing, who kills without blinking an eye and drinks human blood and eats human flesh every day!
Nanxing froze, watching helplessly as the King of Li drew ever closer.
Oh, right!
The young master is still in the room!
Realizing this, Nanxing finally regained some strength, threw down the kettle in her hand, and stumbled into the room.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
"Oh no! The Wrathful King... the Wrathful King... he's here!"
Fu Bai had just taken off his heavy wedding robes, wearing only a red undergarment, and was untying his hair ornament when he heard this. He looked at Nan Xing with a faint smile in his fox-like eyes.
"He's here, so why are you running away?"
Nanxing was momentarily stunned by Fu Bai's beauty, but immediately realized the urgency of the situation and said breathlessly, "Young Master, the King of Li can eat people. He... he's definitely here to eat you. You'd better run!"
"Nanxing, I'm fat enough to feed the King of Li for a long time. You should take this opportunity to run far away!"
Fu Bai was amused by Nan Xing. He took off his hair crown and let his long, black hair cascade down.
Then he reached out and patted Nanxing's broad shoulder, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry, he won't do anything to me."
Besides, Nanxing really can't replace the way the King of Li eats.
Nanxing was almost in tears: "Young Master!"
748 looked at his tiny body in the vastness of his mind and was instantly moved.
Nanxing could still feed the King of Li, but with its small size, it wouldn't even be enough to fill the King of Li's teeth.
748: *crying emoji*
Inside the room, Fu Bai and Nan Xing, master and servant, shared a deep bond.
Outside the door, the King of Li's face darkened as he listened to Nanxing eating people one bite at a time.
Finally, unable to resist any longer, he stepped into the room.
Upon hearing footsteps, Nanxing immediately shielded Fubai with his sturdy figure, closing his eyes and facing the direction of the King of Li.
Fearful and terrified, yet determined to die rather than submit.
King Li: "..."
A moment later, a gentle laugh came from inside the room: "Alright, Nanxing, you can go now. The prince won't do anything to me."
Nanxing turned to look at Fubai, who smiled at him.
My inner unease was inexplicably soothed.
Nanxing said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, I'm right at the door. If you're scared, just call out, and I... I'll rush in right away."
Fu Bai nodded: "Okay."
Nanxing then rushed out with her eyes closed, almost falling over in the process.
Without Nanxing's obstruction, the Li King was finally able to see Fubai.
He wore a red robe, his long, black hair cascading down his back. His features were delicate and striking, and he was looking at me with a half-smile.
Those fox-like eyes shimmered with a vibrant light, as if hooked, completely captivating the King of Li's heart.
The King of Li felt as if time had stood still, and his world consisted only of Fu Bai.
Bright and vibrant, rich and colorful.
My heartbeat became completely erratic.
After a long while, the King of Li finally found his voice, which was faintly hoarse.
"List……"
But before he could even open his mouth, Fu Bai interrupted him.
"What brings Your Highness here?"
"Isn't it true that Your Highness dislikes me and hasn't even prepared a wedding ceremony?"
"Or does Your Highness intend to skip the ceremony and go straight to our wedding night?"
