Ji Fengyao: "..."
Thinking back to how aloof and self-possessed the Ninth Prince was back then, it's truly hard to describe how he is now.
The two were sitting and talking normally when suddenly they both felt a jolt in their hearts.
As Ji Fengyao lunged forward, Shang Xiye also stood up.
The two hugged each other and quickly retreated several steps.
"Bang!" A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a child's arm, struck down from above without warning, passing through the table where they had been sitting and creating a crater the size of a fist in the ground.
"Miss, young master!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The three maids, along with Wuying and Wushang, rushed in to check on the two.
Ji Fengyao, holding Shang Xiye's arm, stared at the charred hole in the middle of the table, caused by lightning, and the pit on the ground, still emitting wisps of smoke. She was speechless for a long time: "Damn it, this is the third time in less than a month. What did I do that God is in such a hurry to strike me down?"
After thinking it over, her face suddenly twitched, and she looked up at Shang Xiye.
Could it be that her relationship with her master has reached a point where it is absolutely unforgivable?
They're not related by blood, why is it such a big deal!
"This... seems to be looking for me," Shang Xiye said softly, frowning slightly.
"Looking for you?" Ji Fengyao looked puzzled. "What do you want? Your cultivation is still too low, you haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet. Don't overthink it. It's probably a group of powerful beings living in the next plane who are undergoing tribulations one by one."
"Huh? Next door? Miss, do you mean the palace?" Xique didn't quite understand.
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Shang Xiye: "..."
Although she found it very strange, Ji Fengyao had no clue how to figure it out, and after wondering about it for a while, she put it aside for the time being.
Shang Xiye had a vague, very bad feeling.
Whenever he thinks of the image of the lightning striking down, he feels a sense of dread, as if he will be struck by it and disappear the next second.
At times like these, he cherishes his young wife even more.
Overwhelmed with love, he only wanted to be with her, and he couldn't even control himself.
Inside the Dianxiang Pavilion.
Bright red lanterns hung high, and celebratory candles burned brightly.
Princess Zhaoping sat by the bed all day, her head veiled in bright red. She dared not eat or drink, her back aching, her legs cramping. If it weren't for the thought that she would soon be with her beloved Xi Ye, she wouldn't have been able to endure it.
She felt like she was going to wear the bed out of her hand, but Brother Xiye still hadn't come.
"Granny, has the Prince not arrived yet?" Princess Zhaoping was tired, hungry, and sleepy, and couldn't help but ask, disregarding her shyness.
Granny Chang had actually walked back and forth between the courtyard gate and the new house countless times, but the garden outside was quiet. Not to mention the passing servants, there wasn't even a mosquito or fly in sight, so she couldn't ask anyone for directions.
But according to the rules and reason, even if it's just a formality, Ninth Prince should at least show his face.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Thinking this, Granny Chang casually comforted her, "It should be soon, Princess, don't worry, just wait a little longer."
Zhaoping had no choice but to remain patient and continue sitting.
Two more hours passed, and it was nearly midnight.
Princess Zhaoping, who was so sleepy she was practically swaying back and forth, couldn't help but ask again, "Granny, go and see if the Prince has arrived yet."
Granny Chang had just returned from outside the courtyard and was hesitating about what to say.
Suddenly, a cold gust of wind swept through the courtyard, causing the half-open door to slam against the wall with a loud bang.
Granny Chang, Simeng, and Siyi were startled.
Looking up, I saw a long shadow cast by the light, entering the room from outside.
