After the bandits subsided, the news reached the capital. He immediately conferred Zhao Wei the title of capturing Jiang Jun, and was appointed governor of the three states of Zhengzhou, Tien, and Anhua. Hu Dehai was also transferred to the post of general of Anhua, which was next to Zhengzhou. Under Zhao Wei's recommendation, Zhuge Xin received the post of Prefecture Overseer. This was something that Ye Lianhe had instructed him to do.

The officials sighed as they watched the scene unfold.

Since the founding of the Great Xuan Kingdom, there had been some cases of bandits being recruited. Today, more than two thousand bandits were recruited, and some of them were over the fifth rank. It would be more practical to call them bandit raiders.

Ever since Ye Feian had returned from his trip to Zhengzhou, he had not been able to recover from his illness. As a result, he was unable to go up to court to refute the misdeeds of Ye Lianhe and Ye Feihan.

And today, he heard that Ye Feihan had brought in all those bandits and even made a person of unknown origin become the prefecture overseer. What made him even more infuriated was that Ye Feihan had raised Zhao Wei to the same position as Sun Lin and had him command the soldiers and horses of the three prefectures.

After that, he struggled to get up from the bed. Luo Lingxiao's heart ached when he saw Ye Fei-an's appearance, and he hurriedly draped a fox fur coat over his body. Ye Fei-an did not stop him from thanking her, but he allowed this woman to do whatever she wanted for him.

"Prince …" Luo Lingxiao wanted to remind Ye Feian to take the medicine, but Ye Feian glared fiercely at her. Although he was weak, he still shouted at her, "Shut up!"

Ye Feian looked at a map of the world hanging in his room. Then, he picked up a pen from his desk and shakily circled up the three areas, "Zhengzhou", "Guzhou", and "Anhua Continent".

After he was done, he leaned against a chair and fell onto the ground. Luo Lingxiao wanted to help him up, but Ye Feian pushed her away.

"Get out. This King wants to be alone." Ye Feian's voice was very weak, but it was filled with determination. Luo Lingxiao could not refuse and could only let out a long sigh before leaving the room. However, he did not walk far, but waited quietly in front of the door.

Ye Feian looked at the map in front of him. His sixteen prefectures were located to the east and his sixteen prefectures were connected to it by the wide Xuanshui River. The sixteen prefectures which were seemingly unrelated to each other suddenly became one. However, if they wanted to leave the west of the sixteen prefectures, they would have to take the water route around Anhua and Taizhou, but the land route would have to go through Zhengzhou. By arranging this, Ye Lianhe had severed his connection with other areas. Although Ye Feian's feudal fiefdom was said to be as large as the sixteen prefectures, it was only twenty to thirty percent the size of the other prefectures. Thus, the sixteen prefectures' territories added together were only slightly larger than Zhao Wei's three prefectures.

"Ye Feihan, you idiot!" Ye Feian secretly cursed him in his heart.

Although it seemed like it was Ye Feihan's idea this time, the positions of the officials were all in such a critical position. A discerning person could tell that it was the work of Hei Lianfeng, and Ye Feihan was foolishly praising others after being schemed against.

The more Ye Feian thought about it, the angrier he got. In the end, his vision turned dark and he fainted.

When Luo Lingxiao heard that there was no sound in the room, he quietly opened the door and peeked. He happened to see Ye Feian faint and fell to the ground. She was so shocked that she rushed into the room to help him up.

"Quick!" Go get a doctor! " Luo Lingxiao shouted hysterically towards the door.

Two days later, the news of Ye Feian's illness had reached Luo Lingwei, who had listened to it. She had been clapping and praying silently that this scumbag would die soon. As long as he died, the world would be at peace.

That day, Luo Lingwei had just finished her checkup at the hotpot restaurant and was about to head home when she saw that Luo Lingxiao had left a few people behind and was rushing over to where she was. Luo Lingwei's heart went cold. At this time, she was alone and Xiaoqing had been sent out to buy fruit. The other servants and guards did not follow. One of the employees of the hotpot restaurant had noticed Luo Lingxiao's aggressive approach towards his master, so he immediately informed the kitchen behind him. Behind Luo Lingwei, several people stood up, carrying bats and other items in their hands.

However, to everyone's surprise, after Luo Lingxiao arrived in front of Luo Lingwei, he immediately kneeled down.

"Please save my prince's life!"

As Luo Lingxiao finished speaking, he gave a heavy kowtow to Luo Lingwei.

Luo Lingwei froze on the spot, not knowing what to say. Luo Lingxiao's followers saw that their master had also knelt down and kowtowed, and they too followed suit.

"I beg the Empress to save my Prince's life!"

In an instant, a circle of people surrounded the area, and everyone began to point at it. Luo Lingwei and Luo Lingxiao were only blaming themselves for being too famous in the capital. A heroic hero, not only could he do business, but he had also single-handedly resolved the feud between the barbarians and the Great Xuan.

Luo Lingwei's heart softened when she saw Luo Lingxiao's expression. However, when she thought about how Ye Lianhe had almost died in the hands of Ye Feian, the anger in her heart immediately returned and she walked past Luo Lingxiao with a cold look.

"A good deed for a good, a bad one for a bad one. He deserves what he has done."

After Luo Lingwei left these words, she flew away.

Not long after Luo Lingwei returned home, she heard a servant report that Luo Lingxiao requested an audience. Luo Lingwei knew why she had come, so she didn't want to bother with it. She asked her servant to send her away.

After a moment, the servant looked at Luo Lingwei with a slow expression. He walked to Luo Lingwei, wanting to say something but hesitated.

"If you have something to say, just say it, a grown man shouldn't be so impulsive!" Luo Lingwei looked at the servant in front of her who was bashful like a girl, asking for a beating as she snappily said.

"To reply your highness, the imperial concubine is kneeling in front of the prince's mansion, not getting up. If you don't want to do it, then don't."

When Luo Lingwei heard this, she became even angrier, silently cursing in her heart. This wicked woman actually still dared to pester her to death!

"Tell her to kneel far away and not to dirty the gates of the manor."

"Esteemed wangfei, this …" The servant obviously did not dare to speak such words. Although he was a member of the royal family and had some status outside, he still had his points to some people. In front of someone like Luo Lingxiao, he was nothing more than a servant.

Luo Lingwei could also see the difficulties that the servant was facing, but she did not make things difficult for him. Instead, she stood up and walked towards the main gate of the palace.

Arriving at the entrance of the palace, Luo Lingwei looked at the haggard Luo Lingxiao, suppressing her own sympathy.

"Please do not kneel in front of my manor's entrance, for fear that others will misunderstand." After Luo Lingwei finished speaking, she turned around and went back into the house.

Just like this, Luo Lingxiao knelt in front of the entrance of the Grand Dominance Royal Mansion until noon of the next day. He finally could not hold on and fainted.
