"What? Say it again!"
Nalan Yunzhi glared at the person in front of her, her eyes flashing with cold light, like two sharp blades piercing the other person's heart. But she clenched her fists tightly, and because of excessive force, her nails dug deep into her palms, and blood flowed down her fingers, but she was completely unaware.
At this moment, Nalan Yunzhi's originally beautiful face became ferocious due to extreme anger, and his eyes were like burning flames, as if to turn the person in front of him into ashes.
"Duan Yunfei, she...she is so bold!" Nalan Yunzhi's voice was low and hoarse, revealing endless resentment and anger, as if every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Butler Qian, who was standing aside, was already pale with fear. He lowered his head and dared not say a word. He knew very well in his heart that he must not provoke the emperor in front of him at this time.
Nalan Yunzhi was extremely upset. Just imagining Feng Lingyan being close to another woman, a nameless jealousy instantly surged in his heart and quickly spread.
Various thoughts kept flashing through her mind. If Feng Lingyan really married someone else, she would never let that woman go easily. Nalan Yunzhi was even thinking about how to arrange for her death...
"Old Qian, please step aside for now. Tell Captain Duan to wait for a moment. I will come to her later if I have anything." Seeing the terrifying pressure and chill emanating from Nalan Yunzhi, Feng Lingyan knew something was wrong and quickly signaled Butler Qian to leave quickly.
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Qian Mantang felt as if he had been pardoned. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then bowed and walked away.
However, once he reached a corner out of sight of Feng Lingyan and Nalan Yunzhi, he immediately broke into a run, as if a tiger was chasing him. Even as he reached the front hall, Qian Mantang's legs were still trembling.
The emperor's eyes were as sharp as a knife, revealing a murderous aura that was truly chilling...
"Lingyan, what did you mean by what you said to Butler Qian just now? Could it be that... you really have feelings for Duan Yunfei?" After Qian Mantang left, Nalan Yunzhi tightly grasped Feng Lingyan's wrist, with a look of hurt in his eyes.
"emperor……"
Feng Lingyan felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He tried to break free from Nalan Yunzhi's grip, but the woman's strength far surpassed that of a frail man like him. Helplessly, Feng Lingyan gave up and sighed, "Your Majesty, Duan Yunfei is a good person, dedicated to the court. She didn't know Lingyan's true identity, which is why she sent someone to the General's Mansion to propose marriage to Lingyan. I hope Your Majesty won't blame her..."
Nalan Yunzhi's eyes suddenly turned cold. He immediately stood up from his seat, stepped forward, and gently lifted Feng Lingyan's chin. With jealousy blazing in his eyes, he looked down at him and said, "What? Are you heartbroken?"
"Your Majesty!" Feng Lingyan forcefully slapped Nalan Yunzhi's hand away, raised her head slightly, and looked him in the face with a determined gaze. Her tone was icy, "Don't forget that Lingyan was buried at the Cliff of Oblivion seventeen years ago! The man sitting before you now is merely Feng Lingqian, the illegitimate son of the Grand General's Mansion! If what happened back then were made public, it would only become a scandal for the royal family, making the people think the palace is nothing but a filthy place!"
Regardless of whether Feng Lingyan still has feelings for Duan Yunfei, the sixteen years of isolated life at the bottom of the Forgetful Cliff have made him no longer the Feng Lingyan who had just given birth and whose daughter was stolen, and who could kneel in the yard for a day and a night to ask Nalan Yunzhi to save her daughter.
Feng Lingyan, while still kindhearted, was by no means someone who could be manipulated. Though he lacked martial prowess, he possessed a staunch and proud character. Furthermore, he still had a loving mother and father, a younger sister and brother-in-law, a filial niece, a daughter, a husband, and adorable grandchildren... These were enough to keep him happily busy for the rest of his life.
On the other hand, the woman who used to fiddle with this noble man today and that beauty tomorrow, leaving him alone in his empty room from time to time, has become dispensable...
"Lingyan, could it be that... you really have the intention of abandoning me and marrying someone else?"
Nalan Yunzhi hugged Feng Lingyan tightly, then leaned down, intending to kiss the man he had been thinking about day and night.
However, Nalan Yunzhi clearly underestimated Feng Lingyan's skills. Feng Lingyan nimbly dodged from under Nalan Yunzhi's arm, and Nalan Yunzhi didn't even know how he did it!
"Your Majesty, Lingyan has already expressed her feelings to you. She will never remarry. Please don't be suspicious and don't implicate innocent people!" After saying that, Feng Lingyan turned around and left without looking back.
Han Yichen said proudly, "My father is so handsome, naturally, because the stunningly beautiful young master taught him the art of self-defense... Although he can't fight anyone, his escape speed is definitely top-notch."
"The Tomb Clan's 'Phantom' technique truly complements Dad! Dad has a gentle temperament like jade and an elegant demeanor like an immortal. This technique is practically tailor-made for him.
"What's even more rare is that Dad has a pure mind without any evil thoughts, and his comprehension is extremely high. Even though he has no martial arts foundation, he has actually mastered this unique skill to about 40% of its original level."
Feng Lingyan's eyes were full of admiration, and she smiled softly, "Sanlang is truly considerate and thoughtful. I am deeply relieved..."
The story began earlier when Feng Lingyan encountered a frightened horse on the street in the city. Fortunately, Gongyang Jiezhen came to her aid and averted danger.
After that, Han Yichen had an idea and decided to teach Feng Lingyan the Ancient Tomb School's peerless Qinggong. Surprisingly, Feng Lingyan mastered the technique after just one demonstration.
