Only because...

The more poisonous the girl was, the more she liked her?!

"Don't make assumptions just because she looks innocent and naive. In truth, we have been fighting since we were young. Besides, do you know what she said? She wants to give you a poison for our wedding night in the future and poison me so that I won't be able to consummate our marriage!"

Qianbei Xun had carelessly blurted this out as he was angrily criticizing Gu Wanbai. He immediately regretted what he had just said.

"Oh..." Feng Qianhuan gently narrowed her eyes as a dangerous smile crept into the corners of her face. "That's not a bad idea."

Qianbei Xun's handsome features instantly turned as black as the bottom of a cauldron. He locked Feng Qianhuan in place with his hands and scoffed coldly, "I won't give you the chance to be acquainted with that damned girl."

Otherwise, his lifetime's worth of happiness would be handed over here and now.

"It's getting late and I head back to the mansion." Feng Qianhuan rose to her feet as a peculiar light flashed through her blood-red eyes. "If it had not been for Chen'er, I would have left this place long ago."

She had promised to take care of Zuo Chen so she has to keep her word no matter what.

This was the reason why she had not left the Vermillion Bird Country even after such a long time...

Qianbei Xun seemed to remember what Zuo Chen had told him today and he furrowed his brows as he asked, "Xue'er, do you know anyone from the Spirit Sect?"

"The Spirit Sect?" Feng Qianhuan looked at Qiannei Xun and shook her head, "No, I don't."

She doesn't?

Qianbei Xun frowned even more. Since Feng Qianhuan does not know anyone from the Spirit Sect, why would a disciple from the Spirit Sect want to marry her?

However, regardless of the reason, he could not possibly let that man take his woman away!

...

It was daybreak.

After Feng Qianhuan had returned last night, she had not slept. Instead, she had crossed her legs and began to cultivate. She only opened her eyes and left her room once the morning light shone in.

"Where's Chen'er?"

Usually, Zuo Chen would wake up at the crack of dawn and would practice his martial arts in the courtyard. However, Feng Qianhuan had not seen the little figure and she frowned.

"Reporting to you, Princess. Members of the Imperial Palace had arrived earlier and urgently summoned the Ninth Prince to the palace. The Ninth Prince is now on his way to the Imperial Palace."

He was urgently summoned to the palace?

Feng Qianhuan was shaken. She did not know why but an uncomfortable feeling rose from her heart when she heard the palace maid's report. That feeling soon expanded within her heart and caused her to become very worried.

"Servants, I'm leaving for the palace!"

How could she stay back and allow Zuo Chen to enter the palace alone? That place was full of cruel and vicious people!

"An Imperial edict has arrived!"

Just as Feng Qianhuan was about to make her way to the Imperial Palace, a sharp voice announced, "An Imperial edict has arrived. The Sixth Princess is to accept the edict."

Feng Qianhuan was shaken once again. She turned towards the eunuch who was carrying the edict as he walked into the courtyard and frowned.

What are the chances for an Imperial edict to arrive just as I've decided to go to the palace?

"Sixth Princess, allow this servant to make the long story short. His Imperial Highness has specifically ordered me to escort you to the palace to see Him. Please accept the edict, Princess."

Feng Qianhuan's gaze darkened and a light flashed across her eyes. "I need to get ready. I will head towards the palace later!"

One must have the means to resist adversity! Regardless of what that man wants to do, I, Feng Qianhuan, have nothing to fear! I would never have stayed in this place if it wasn't for Zuo Chen!

Therefore, she was naturally unafraid of the Imperial family...

"Sixth Princess, it's best that you don't make this servant wait too long..." The eunuch who had passed the edict smiled as he spoke.

One should not make assumptions just because he had addressed himself as a servant. There was no trace of respect in his tone and he had paid no regards to the girl in front of him at all since the beginning.

Feng Qianhuan glared coldly at the eunuch and did not say very much as she turned around and headed to the courtyard.Oh Xiao Xun'er. *shakes head* You may now look forward to having your little brother malfunctioning on your wedding night. ( )
