It is said that this is a unique hidden weapon that has been lost in their Fusang Kingdom for a long time. A few years ago, Yan Qianhe restored it by referring to ancient books, and she even specially gave a few to Feng Beichuan.
Fortunately, Suzaku caught the dart for me; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The more Cangyun thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on his back. It seemed that their master was really angry this time, otherwise he would never have used such a ruthless method to deal with him with such a terrifying hidden weapon.
It seems I should say less bad things about Li Chang'an in front of him in the future!
Mind your own business, your life is more important!
Cangyun couldn't help but shake his head at the thought that he had ended up with such a treacherous master.
Faced with Cangyun's heartfelt apology, Zhuque merely gave him a cold glance, knowing full well that this person must have said something inappropriate to anger Feng Beichuan again.
What a hopeless guy!
Zhuque reported back to Feng Beichuan. In the past few days, she and Cangyun were responsible for keeping watch over the general and keeping an eye on the situation at the Prime Minister's residence.
Upon learning that Emperor Xingchang had secretly summoned Bai Yuanshan twice in just a few days, Feng Beichuan's expression turned serious.
Although he was still feeling resentful, Feng Beichuan still sent a spy to compile the intelligence and deliver it to the general's mansion.
After completing his mission, Zhuque returned to the Prime Minister's residence to keep watch, while Cangyun could only reluctantly and with a bitter expression go to the General's residence to continue keeping watch.
After receiving the intelligence from the Regent's Palace, Li Chang'an fell into deep thought, and a chilling feeling arose in his heart.
He had only handed over half of the tiger tally when Emperor Xingchang immediately summoned a large number of troops back to the capital.
Not only that, after secretly meeting Bai Yuanshan, he even began to secretly investigate his reputation among the people of the capital.
The last vestige of fatherly affection in his heart was eventually worn away. Li Chang'an couldn't understand what he had done to deserve such fear from Emperor Xingchang.
All of this made Li Chang'an feel extremely disheartened. He had already voluntarily handed over half of the Tiger Tally. Was such a concession not enough to make him lower his guard?
Perhaps only by laying down her arms and returning to the palace, living a quiet and innocent life as a princess, could she truly put Emperor Xingchang at ease!
But if that's the case, what will happen to the soldiers in the camp? What about the millions of people in Sheng Nan Kingdom? If I abandon them, I probably won't have peace of mind for the rest of my life.
Perhaps Feng Beichuan is right; the father and daughter had already unknowingly become mortal enemies.
Although these events caused Li Chang'an some distress, the general's mansion remained relatively peaceful during this period, and Qin Xiashi became very honest and well-behaved.
In this way, Li Chang'an would have enough energy to deal with matters in the court, and at the same time, he could also take good care of the training of the Light Cloud Cavalry.
Since Li Changsheng left the General's Mansion, Qin Xiashi has not caused any more trouble. Although she still seems a little awkward when interacting with Li Chang'an, her attitude is still respectful.
After experiencing all that had happened, Qin Yubao, though he became less interested in interacting with Li Chang'an, at least stopped trying to cause trouble.
Perhaps time can heal all wounds!
Li Chang'an felt helpless and could only console himself in this way.
Half a month later, the military parade will be held together with the palace banquet. Emperor Xingchang invited many princes and ministers to attend, saying that he wanted everyone to witness the splendor of the Shengnan Kingdom's army.
In addition, the palace banquet was entirely organized by Zhao Ruyue. Besides sending invitations to the princesses and noble ladies, she also sent invitations to the daughters of many high-ranking officials.
The invitations were all sent out seven days before the palace banquet. Zhao Ruyue rewarded the person who came to carry out the mission with a gold ingot, and then she thought to herself with a smug smile that she would definitely give Li Chang'an a hard time this time.
Li Chang'an was certain to attend such a palace banquet. Zhao Ruyue thought that with so many young and beautiful girls attending the banquet, she would definitely outshine that tomboy.
"Your Majesty, the new dress I made for you has arrived. Would you like to try it on?"
Xiaoru was holding a tray with neatly folded clothes on it. Although she hadn't picked up the clothes to examine them closely, it was clear that they were made of excellent fabric and the embroidery was exquisite.
Give it a try!
Zhao Ruyue reached out her nail-painted hand and touched the clothes on the tray, then nodded with great satisfaction.
This dress was specially made for her to wear to the palace banquet. The fabric used was a material she had treasured for a long time and had never been willing to use.
As the hostess of the palace banquet that day, Zhao Ruyue naturally had to dress more beautifully than everyone else.
Bai Ruohan also harbored the same thoughts.
When Bai Ruohan received the invitation from the palace, adorned with gilded patterns, she was overjoyed and immediately took it to tell Bai Yuanshan the good news.
"Oh? The Imperial Noble Consort is going to hold a palace banquet. Then you should prepare well! Hurry up and get the necessary items ready. Just tell your father if you need anything."
Bai Yuanshan was practicing calligraphy in his study as usual. Hearing Bai Ruohan excitedly share the news with him, he nodded and gave her some instructions.
"Yes, my daughter will definitely prepare well!"
Bai Ruohan nodded, her eyes filled with undisguised joy. She carefully put away the invitation, bowed slightly to Bai Yuanshan, and then prepared to hurry back to pack her things before heading to the best clothing store in the capital.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let's seize it!"
Before leaving, Bai Yuanshan looked up at his daughter and said something meaningful in his eyes.
At the same time, Bai Ruobing, who was also overjoyed to have received the invitation, also left the Prime Minister's residence to make some nice preparations.
"This is a palace banquet, Miss, you must prepare well!"
Bai Ruobing's personal maid, Liu Ye, was also very excited. She never thought that she would be able to visit the palace in her lifetime. The thought that she might even meet the emperor and the imperial concubine filled her with anticipation.
"You don't even need to tell me, at the very least I have to be better than that woman!"
The woman she was referring to was her half-sister, Bai Ruohan.
Because of Bai Ruohan's presence, Bai Ruobing, the second young lady born out of wedlock, had been doing nothing in the Prime Minister's mansion. In addition, she had no mother to support her and her father's attitude towards her was always lukewarm, which made Bai Ruobing seem like a transparent person in the Prime Minister's mansion.
