Time flies, and a day goes by in the blink of an eye.

At night, Zuo Wangfeng was sitting restlessly in the lobby of the general's mansion. An atmosphere of impending storm and overwhelming pressure lingered in the mansion.

Ji sat in the first seat and cried silently.

Ever since Zuo Xin got angry in the morning and drove Chen Yan and others out of Prince Chan's Mansion, she knew that Prince Chen would not let it go, so she was worried all day and had no time to think about anything else.

"King Chen has arrived."

Just as she was worried, a loud shout was heard outside the lobby.

Prince Chen and his daughter, accompanied by a group of guards, walked in arrogantly.

After the guards entered the lobby, they surrounded the entire lobby in an instant.

Zuo Wangfeng glared at him and shouted, "Lord Chen, what do you mean by this?"

"Zuo Wangfeng received the order." King Chen said proudly.

Zuo Wangfeng did not dare to delay and quickly led Ji to kneel down.

Prince Chen took out an imperial edict and read, "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Crown Prince summoned Zuo Wangfeng, the Grand General of Kyoto, who is old and frail, and is allowed to resign and return home to spend the rest of his life. In the future, the Grand General of Kyoto will be replaced by Prince Chen. I decree this."

"Your servant Zuo Wangfeng thanks the Crown Prince for your grace." Zuo Wangfeng responded while suppressing his anger.

Prince Chen arrogantly placed the imperial edict in his hands.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zuo Wangfeng stood up from the ground together with Ji Shi and looked down at the imperial edict in his hands. At this moment, his whole body was shaking with anger, and at the same time, he was disheartened.

You know, for so many years, he has always been loyal to the prince and has never had any second thoughts. Unexpectedly, in order to deal with Gu Chan, the prince made such a dirty deal with King Chen and used him as a bargaining chip.

It was not until now that he finally saw clearly what kind of person the prince was.

No matter how loyal he is, he is nothing more than a chess piece to the prince. If he becomes useless one day, the prince will just throw him away without any attachment to him.

Prince Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Prince Zuo Feng and saying, "General Zuo, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you hand over the tiger talisman of the Kyoto general?"

"You are despicable and shameless. My husband has been loyal to the prince for so many years. How could the prince treat him like this?" Ji said in a crying voice while standing aside.

"Hahaha……"

King Chen arrogantly raised his head and laughed out loud, as if Ji's words were a huge joke.

Chen Yan said with a sinister smile, "Madam Zuo, weren't you so arrogant and domineering when you were in Prince Chan's mansion this morning? Why can't you yell at me now? Instead, you're crying? Don't cry! Keep yelling at me!"

"Chen Yan, you..." Ji was choked speechless, tears in her eyes like pearls from a broken string, rolling down one by one.

Zuo Wangfeng stood where he was, clenching his fists tightly. He felt extremely unwilling and humiliated, but facing the imperial edict issued by the crown prince, he was completely powerless to resist.

Prince Chen threatened, "General Zuo, you better think it over carefully. If you don't hand over the tiger talisman to me, I will treat you as disobeying my order and take action against everyone in your palace."

"Prince Chen, please leave a way out for yourself so that we can meet again in the future. Why do you have to be so aggressive?" Prince Zuo shouted sternly.

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the tiger talisman to me immediately, otherwise I will kill your entire family." King Chen said cruelly.

Zuo Wangfeng was about to get angry when a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the lobby.

"How dare you? You can't kill my father just because you want to."

As the angry shout rang out, Zuo Xin and Yuan Jie led the guards of Prince Chan's Mansion and quickly rushed in from outside the door.

The guards on both sides immediately drew their swords and confronted each other, causing the scene to become extremely tense in an instant.

Zuo Xin and Yuan Jie walked up to Zuo Wangfeng and stood beside him.

Prince Chen smiled sinisterly and said, "You came just in time, saving me from having to go to Prince Chan's mansion to look for you."

"Prince Chen, my husband is the current Prince Chan, one of the four princes in Kyoto. No matter in status or position, he is equal to you. It's not a good idea for you to treat his father-in-law like this!" Zuo Xin said in a deep voice.

"Hehe... If Gu Chan could stand here, I might really give him, the King Chan, some face. It's a pity that he may never come back. I'm afraid it won't work to threaten him with a dead man." King Chen said with a complacent sneer.

"No matter whether my husband is dead or not, as long as he is the King Chan of Tiancang Kingdom, my father is the King Chan's father-in-law. If you want to touch my father, you have to ask whether the entire King Chan's Mansion agrees." Zuo Xin roared.

Chen Yan stepped forward and said viciously, "Gu Chan can't come back, you bitch are nothing, quickly hand over the tiger talisman, otherwise I will destroy your general's mansion."

"Do you really think that our General's Mansion is easy to bully?" Zuo Xin said angrily.

“Okay, then let’s see who has the last laugh.” Chen Yan roared.

After saying that, she looked at the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion and waved, "Go ahead, kill these guards first."

"Yes, Miss." The guards responded in unison and prepared to rush forward to kill the guards of the general's mansion.

The guards of the general's mansion were also ready to meet the enemy, and a great battle was about to break out.

"Stop it all."

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight in the lobby, another woman's voice was heard outside the lobby.

The Thirteenth Princess and Zuo Yun rushed in with a team of guards, protected Zuo Wangfeng and others, and forcibly suppressed the tense situation.

King Chen's face darkened and he immediately waved his hand to stop his guards.

The Thirteenth Princess walked up to Zuo Xin and stood in front of them, blocking them behind her. She stared at Chen Yan coldly and said, "Chen Yan, it's been a long time since we last met, and you're getting bolder and bolder. You even want to kill my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"Princess Thirteen, I..." Chen Yan suddenly stopped talking and began to speak hesitantly.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been fearless, but the only thing she is afraid of is the woman in front of her.

And most importantly, she had been beaten by the Thirteenth Princess before. She had been lying in bed at home for half a month and couldn't get out of bed. In the end, even her father couldn't do anything to the Thirteenth Princess.

So until now, she has always had a shadow in her heart about the Thirteenth Princess and is extremely afraid of her.

Prince Chen waved his hand and pushed his daughter behind him to protect her. He stared at Princess Thirteen and said, "Princess Thirteen, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why don't you stay in the Princess's Mansion and come here to make trouble?"

"Uncle Wang, these are my parents-in-law, please don't mess around! Otherwise, I will take action, and these dogs under your command are no match for me." Princess Thirteen said coldly.

As she said this, she deliberately trembled her body, releasing the powerful spiritual energy in her body. This frightened the guards of Prince Chen's mansion and made them retreat one after another. They all kept a distance from her and did not dare to take another step forward.
