"Your Majesty is wise!"
Long Xunyi glanced at him and said, "No need to flatter me. I asked you to stay because I have something to ask you. Why didn't Sister An come back with you? Is it because Mr. An and An Chengxiang are at the Nineteenth Villa that she plans not to come back?"
"Your Majesty, I was actually just about to tell you this. It's not that Yu'er won't come back, but that she can't come back!"
"Can't come back? What's going on? Did something happen to Sister An?" When he heard that she couldn't come back, Long Xunyi immediately asked worriedly.
Hearing this, Jing Aotian sighed, "Your Majesty, Yu'er was seriously injured while seeking the antidote. Her meridians were almost severed, her internal organs were damaged, and she almost lost her life. It was Xing Mo who saved her, but Xing Mo would not let her leave and left her in Fuling Mountain. The formation set up on that mountain makes it impossible for Dang Yan and I to enter. Considering Yu'er's injuries and considering that An Chengxiang needs the antidote, we can only leave for the time being."
"I see! I didn't expect Sister An to have experienced such a terrible thing. But speaking of formations, I do think of this person."
As if knowing who Long Xunyi was talking about, Jing Aotian continued, "Northern Emperor, Feng Sang!"
"Yes, it's Feng Sang. Feng Sang was able to become an emperor as a woman. Her greatest strength isn't her tactics, but her mastery of formations. If we can ask her to help, Sister An will surely return safely. However, Feng Sang is the ruler of a country, so asking her for help might be a little difficult."
"No matter how difficult it is, I must invite her to Fuling Mountain." Jing Aotian said firmly.
"Okay, then I order you to go to Fengyu Country as an envoy and ask the Northern Emperor to intervene."
"Your humble servant obeys the order!"
The next day, Jing Aotian went to Fengyu Country with the imperial edict. Ten days later, he met with the Northern Emperor Feng Sang. However, when he heard that Master Xingmo had placed An Tingyu under house arrest, Feng Sang agreed without saying a word, so Jing Aotian didn't even have to say a word of pleading.
For this reason, although Jing Aotian felt strange, he did not say much. In this way, they started to advance towards Fuling Mountain again. At the beginning, there was still a large group of people, but after reaching the mountain road, Feng Sang actually left all the soldiers and horses at the bottom of the mountain, and followed Jing Aotian up the mountain alone.
"Northern Emperor, is it really okay not to bring a few followers?" Jing Aotian secretly sized her up. People said that Northern Emperor was the most charming woman in the world, but in Jing Aotian's opinion, although Feng Sang was charming, she could also be straightforward at times, so straightforward that it was a bit inexplicable. For example, when she asked for help to break the formation, or when she went up the mountain alone, as an emperor, shouldn't she be more cautious? Abandoning her followers and going up the mountain alone was not a risk an emperor should take.
Feng Sang looked at the road ahead and sighed, "It has to be this way, because Xing Mo is my royal brother."
"What?" Jing Aotian exclaimed in surprise. Did he hear correctly? Feng Sang actually called Xing Mo "Royal Brother"?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Feng Sang continued, "You heard me right, my royal brother. I'm not telling you because I want to, but because you'll know soon. So even if I want to hide it, I can't. It's okay to tell you, but I didn't let any followers follow me. That's to keep it secret because... he's not a popular person."
At the end of the story, Feng Sang's pretty face darkened. "Since my royal brother was born, he's been criticized. People say he's a demon, and some even want to kill him. To save his life, our mother sent him away when he was just one month old, announcing his death. Since then, he hasn't returned to the Imperial City."
"Now that the Northern Emperor has said this, I'm reminded of a rumor I heard in my childhood. It was said that the Northern Queen gave birth to a demon and killed it on the full moon. It seems that this rumor is true. And Xing Mo has silver hair and a pair of terrifying blue eyes. I guess that's why people call him a demon."
