Fu Junyan's eyes were filled with anger, and he glared at him with hatred, saying in a cold voice: "You'd better chop your hand off, or I will make sure you die without a burial place!"

Xuanyuan Man sighed twice, patted his chest lightly with his fan, and said with a hint of resentment: "It seems that you really have forgotten about me. I am really sad..."

Fu Junyan was stunned for a moment and frowned. He could not find any figure in his memory that overlapped with Xuanyuan Man.

Xuanyuan Man's eyes scanned his body unscrupulously, making Fu Junyan really want to gouge him out immediately.

Xuanyuan Man raised the corners of his lips wickedly, leaned close to his ear and whispered with interest: "It's okay, I have plenty of time, I will let you remember me slowly..."

A small knife came towards him mercilessly from behind. Xuanyuan Man did not look back, but just raised his fan and accurately blocked the knife.

Yu Chuan stood behind him with complicated eyes.

Xuanyuan Man then straightened up and pinched Fu Junyan's bleeding shoulder hard, causing him to groan in pain.

"I will go back first. You know what to say to my brother."

After saying that, he took out his handkerchief and turned away leisurely.

"My Lord!" Yu Chuan hurried forward to untie Fu Junyan.

"Dead?" Fu Junyan asked coldly.

Yu Chuan nodded: "After Mo Chaoyang was captured, he committed suicide."

If Xuanyuan Man's secret guards hadn't taken action and captured him at the same time, Mo Chaoyang would have been a tough nut to crack.

"However, Mo Chaoyang's deputy general had his arm broken and was taken care of."

"Cut off Mo Chaoyang's head and take it back." Fu Junyan's voice was cold, with a chill in his eyes.

Shen Weidong and his son could not have imagined that Fu Junyan not only escaped death, but also directly presented Mo Chaoyang's head to the emperor.

When the news came, Shen Zijun was so scared that he collapsed to the ground.

Shen Weidong fell into a chair with a look of panic on his face, clenched his teeth and cursed in a trembling voice: "Useless thing!"

Shen Zijun hurriedly crawled over and grabbed his trouser legs: "Father! What should we do? If the emperor knew, would we die without a burial place?"

Shen Weidong was in a state of panic and could not help but kick him away fiercely, angrily accusing him: "If it weren't for your bad idea, how could we have been in such a disaster!"

Shen Zijun hurriedly climbed up again: "Father, it's all my fault! After this is over, you can beat me or scold me as you like, but now it's important to find a way to get out of this!"

Shen Weidong squeezed the cup hard, and the cup broke. The fragments pierced into his hand, and blood gushed out.

"For now, we can only rely on the Queen! If the Queen is considerate, she can even ask the Emperor to spare our lives."

Otherwise, let alone selling illegal salt, even having a private transaction with Mo Chaoyang of Dongcheng State would be enough to convict him of treason!

Shen Weidong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and stared at the door. He had immediately sent a message to the palace, hoping that his own sister could think of a solution.

Thinking back to the time when she was able to sit on the throne of Queen, his Shen family had put in a lot of effort.

If his Shen family were to be destroyed, her position as queen might not be secure.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and Shen Zijun quickly knelt down and turned to look over.

Shen Weidong stood up hastily, staring at the visitor with bloodshot eyes: "How is it? Did the Queen reply?"

The servant knelt down with a plop: "The Queen has gone to the Emperor..."

"It's good that you're going! It's good that you're going!" Shen Weidong breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Queen is the Emperor's first wife. She married into the palace when he was still a prince.

No matter how unfeeling the emperor is, he will still think of the love between husband and wife.

"My Lord!" The servant suddenly shouted in panic, "The Queen did find the Emperor... But, but the Queen asked the Emperor to deal with the Shen family severely..."

"It's over!" Shen Weidong's body softened and he fell to the ground.

Not long after, the imperial edict arrived, and the father and son of the Shen family were sentenced to death and given poisoned wine on the spot.

The Shen family was deprived of their titles and severed all ties with the Queen.

Minor boys and girls were enslaved for generations. Adult men were sent to the army, and adult women were sent to the Xinzheku, where they could not leave for generations.

This is the best outcome the emperor has given to the Shen family for the sake of the queen.

Fu Junyan was rewarded a lot by Xuanyuan Jun for his contribution in capturing the thief.

Originally, after the treaty was negotiated, he was going to set off to return to report to the emperor, but because he was seriously injured, he temporarily stayed in Shangsheng Kingdom to recuperate.

Five months later.

"My lord, Princess Xuanyuan Xue is here." Yu Chuan reported and then left.

"My Lord." Xuanyuan Xue was wearing a plain white corset, and she looked graceful and elegant.

"Princess Xuanyuan." Fu Junyan stopped writing with his brush and called softly.

"My Lord, have you recovered from your injury? This is the thousand-year-old ginseng my father gave me. My Lord, you can make some soup with it to nourish your body."

After the personal maid left, there were only two people left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.

Fu Junyan peeled a fruit and handed it to her, and Xuanyuan Xue ate it in silence.

The two played another game of chess. Xuanyuan Xue bit her lip and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.

"Is there something wrong? You are hesitant in making your moves and the chessboard is in a mess. There is something on your mind." Fu Junyan hit the nail on the head.

Xuanyuan Xue was stunned for a moment, her face turned pale instantly, she bit her lip, and after a long while she said: "My Lord, please... help me..."

Fu Junyan didn't seem surprised by her actions. He took a sip of tea and said calmly, "You might as well ask your father for help. How can I help you?"

Xuanyuan Xue was about to burst into tears and felt uneasy.

"My Lord, could it be that you...just, just..." Xuanyuan Xue's face turned red with shame, and she twisted her handkerchief. She was too embarrassed to continue.

Fu Junyan's eyes were obscure, and he just looked at her quietly. After a long while, he whispered, "Princess Xuanyuan, I think you misunderstood."

Xuanyuan Xue's face turned red with shame and tears quietly rolled down her cheeks.

She had already spoken her heart out to such an extent without caring about her dignity, but she only got a cold response.

She really is shameless and self-indulgent.

Xuanyuan Xue gently wiped away her tears, staggered to her feet, her face pale, and she bowed, trying to make her words sound calm and normal: "Xuanyuan Xue bids farewell to Lord Fu. I hope you will be well from now on, and we will never see each other again in this life."

But her messy steps still betrayed her.

Fu Junyan's eyes were dark and his thin lips were tightly pursed as he watched her frail body sway as she left.

He called out in a cold voice: "Yu Chuan."

"My Lord." Yu Chuan came in respectfully and waited for his instructions.

"When do we leave?"

"Half a month later." Yu Chuan hesitated, but couldn't help asking, "My Lord, do we need to extend the return trip a little longer?"

Fu Junyan remained silent, just looking at the messy chess game on the board.

His hand holding the chess piece stopped in mid-air, unable to put it down, and all he could think of was that cute, tearful face.

After a while, he placed the chess piece in the corner of the chessboard and asked gently, "When will she get married?"

"A month later."

Yu Chuan couldn't bear it: "My Lord, are you just going to watch Miss Xuanyuan get married? Xuanyuan Jun agreed to marry Zhou Zhaoguo in order to get Zhou Zhaoguo's help. But Zhou Zhaoguo's eldest prince is only ten years old!"

Therefore, the one who married into the Shangsheng Kingdom was the emperor of the Zhou Zhao Kingdom, an old man in his fifties, old enough to be Xuanyuan Xue's father.

In Shangsheng, no one dared to resist Xuanyuan Jun's orders.

The imperial decree of marriage has been issued, and Xuanyuan Xue must marry.

But! Yu Chuan really couldn't bear to watch that face with tears in her eyes getting into the bridal sedan.

"Yu Chuan, Xuanyuan Xue is not her." Fu Junyan suddenly clenched the teacup and said sternly.

Yu Chuan was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, as if he suddenly realized something. He pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

Princess House.

Xuanyuan Xue looked at the room full of bright red dowry, most of which were rare treasures and priceless.

However, her heart was as calm as water, and her whole body seemed as if her soul had been sucked out. She was dazed and sluggish, without a single scar.

Her mother had already come to persuade her to be more open-minded.

The role of a royal woman has always been to pave the way for power. She felt sorry for her only daughter, but she dared not disobey the emperor.

The only thing we can do is to prepare more dowry for her and send her off when she gets married.

Xuanyuan Xue only felt sad.

The so-called emperor father sent her to Fu Junyan's room for the first time because of the salt mine.

The second time he arranged a marriage for her, it was for power again, and he sent her to another man who was even more despicable.

No wonder Fu Junyan once said that if she is not self-reliant, there will definitely be a second time after the first time!

But! How can she resist? ! She is just a weak woman!

Xuanyuan Xue felt so sad that she tried to hold back her tears and asked sadly, "He has left?"
