Yuwen Tianxiang was overwhelmed by the favour and thanked the empress dowager as he sat down next to her.

"Princess Tian Xiang, it's just a family banquet today. Everyone here is a descendant of my Xuanyuan family. If the princess is interested, Wailing Home will definitely help you arrange the match."

Princess Tian Xiang stole a glance at Xuanyuan Zhi, and saw that he had a cold expression from beginning to end, and felt wronged again. Her Majesty saw everything, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

Her original intention was for Yuwen Tianxiang to enter the palace. With her, he would be able to hold her down tightly and prevent her from causing trouble. If she married roasting king, it would be hard to say. roasting king had the military power, with her help, she would be like a fish in water.

No one will be able to take away his son's river and mountain.

"Emperor, Princess Tian Xiang has come from afar, you must accompany her properly on her behalf. When Wailing Home saw the princess, he immediately liked her. Many people understood her words.

The empress looked even worse, unable to retort. She could only sit there sulking.

Not long after the banquet started, the empress dowager left first due to her unwell body. When the empress dowager left, the empress called Princess Xi Wei and the crown prince over. "You two are the same age as Princess Tian Xiang, come sit over and chat with her."

"Princess, Crown Prince." Yuwen Tianxiang bowed.

Just as Xuanyuan Rui wanted to extend his hand to support her, he saw from the corner of his eyes that her royal father's expression was cold. Princess Xi Wei greeted Yuwen Tianxiang while feeling extremely annoyed. Yuwen Jingrui's gaze was too intense, it was impossible for her to ignore it even if she wanted to.

Yuwen Jingrui stared at Princess Xi Wei, he had heard some information about her, if it was really as the rumors said, it would be a pity. But what did it matter? All he wanted was her identity.

Chu Qingyao and Xuanyuan Zhi acted as if they had nothing to do with each other. The more it was like this, the more anxious Yuwen Tianxiang became. She suddenly stood up without any warning and walked over with a cup of wine.

The emperor's face darkened, and all the princes had expressions of watching a good show. Princess Tian Xiang really didn't know how to read her face. If the empress dowager had said it so clearly, how could she not see it?

The Seventh Prince said to the Third Prince beside him in a low voice, "Three Emperors, do you think the crown prince wants to marry Yuwen Tianxiang as well?"

"Stealing women from royal father is extremely stupid." Third Prince Xuanyuan Yan sneered.

Until Yuwen Tianxiang stood in front of Xuanyuan Zhi, he did not even glance at her. The hand that Yuwen Tianxiang used to hold the wine was trembling. "roasting king, the heavenly incense is upon you."

Xuanyuan Zhi looked up, "Princess, I appreciate your good intentions, but my stomach isn't feeling well, I'm afraid I can't drink anymore."

After being refused wine in public, Yuwen Tianxiang's tears almost fell out. She choked with sobs and asked, "roasting king, do you hate me that much?"

"This King isn't familiar with the princess."

Yuwen Tianxiang's tears finally fell, and in that instant, she glared at Chu Qingyao, who declared that she was innocent.

Xuanyuan Zhi suddenly looked at Chu Qingyao, "Are you full?"

Chu Qingyao was a little confused, but quickly nodded her head. No matter how delicious the food was, it still wouldn't feel comfortable.

He stood up, "Royal brother, Chendi's stomach is not feeling well, farewell." The instant he turned around, Chu Qingyao hurriedly followed.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhi left as soon as he said it, the Emperor was about to get angry. The empress whispered, "Please calm your anger, your Majesty. It's a good thing for us that the roasting king is gone." roasting king's attitude clearly showed that he did not have any thoughts towards Yuwen Tianxiang. If Yuwen Tianxiang still wanted to continue the marriage, he could only choose from the remaining people.

Of course, it would be best if she could choose the crown prince. Even if she could choose the emperor in the end, it would be better than taking advantage of roasting king.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhi had actually left, Yuwen Tianxiang was so embarrassed that she could not show her face. Just as the crown prince was about to help her back, he saw the emperor walk out ahead of him.

"Princess Tian Xiang, royal brother's personality is eccentric, I have caused you to suffer, come back with us." He extended his hand towards Yuwen Tianxiang.

Yuwen Tianxiang hesitated for a moment before offering his hand, "Tian Xiang thanks Your Majesty."

Yuwen Jingrui took the opportunity to go over to Princess Xi Wei's side and asked, "Princess Xi Wei, can you give me some face and accompany me for a drink?"

Xi Wei's eyes flashed with disgust. Just as she was about to speak, the Queen spoke up for her, "Xi Wei, accompany Prince Yuwen for a drink.

In front of everyone, Xi Wei couldn't give the empress any face either, so he could only hold back his anger and drink a mouthful of wine to settle the matter. The emperor supported Yuwen Tianxiang back, and just as he sat down, Yuwen Tianxiang snatched the wine jug and said to Duke Xi Wei, "Princess Xi Wei, I want to drink, do you dare to accompany me?"

Xi Wei looked at his father and saw his cold expression, "My alcohol capacity is shallow, why not let your father accompany the princess?"

Yuwen Tianxiang felt a fire burning in his heart. She had travelled thousands of miles to reach here, how could Xuanyuan Zhi treat her like this? She poured two glasses of wine and handed one to the emperor.

Yuwen Jingrui went forward and snatched the wine cup away and said angrily, "Tian Xiang, you're drunk." She being disrespectful in front of the Tian Qiong was really a disgrace to him.

For a man, she didn't even have the right to be called a chess piece. He looked at the emperor. "Royal Sister is drunk, I'll take her back first."

The Queen looked at Princess Xi Wei, "Xi Wei, you and Princess Tian Xiang are at the same place as a daughter, help her stay in your Blue Hall!"

Xi Wei looked displeased, "Empress …"

"Xi Wei, help the princess go back." This time it was the emperor who spoke. Xi Wei had no choice but to lead the way as he watched Yuwen Jingrui bring him over.

Fortunately, Yuwen Jingrui turned around and left as soon as she saw him off, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.

After he made sure that Yuwen Tianxiang was settled, the moment he returned to his own room, he saw the empress and crown prince present. He asked unhappily, "Why are you two here?"

"royal sister, why are you talking to the empress?" The Crown Prince was furious.

"Then what should I say? I don't know when, but even men can casually enter the residence of the Tian Qiong Princess. Let me tell you this, even if I die, I will not marry Yuwen Jingrui. "

The empress's expression relaxed. "Xi Wei, regardless of whether you believe me or not, I won't let you marry into another family."

Princess Xi Wei looked at her in disdain, "Why should I believe you? You can even allow Yuwen Jingrui to freely enter the Blue Hall, what other things are you unable to do? "

"You shut up." The crown prince stepped forward and slapped Xi Wei.

Xi Wei laughed coldly, "All of you, get out. Xuanyuan Rui, you are just an ungrateful bastard. The Queen Mother is still in the cold palace, yet you dare to ignore her and even listen to her words. I look down on you."

The crown prince still had to extend his hand, but was stopped by the empress. She said to Xi Wei, "I let Yuwen Tianxiang stay here with you because I wanted you to persuade her to marry the crown prince. No matter how much you hate me, the crown prince is still your royal brother.

Xi Wei was startled, "You would be so kind?"

Chu Qingyao and Xuanyuan Zhi returned from the palace, one towards the Celestial Pavilion, and the other back to the Blue Luan Courtyard. Just as she took a hot bath and got out of bed, the door was suddenly pushed open as Xuanyuan Zhi entered the room covered in cold air. "Come with me to save someone."

"Save who?" Chu Qingyao quickly put on her clothes and jumped off the bed. At this moment, it felt like a lifetime had passed! In her last life, she had often been called to the emergency room in the middle of the night.

Xuanyuan Zhi did not say a word, and pulled her along to leave.

The winter night was cold. He carried her through the darkness, and she buried her face in his chest, listening to his steady, powerful heartbeat. She shivered as a cold wind blew, and he pulled the fox fur cloak behind him to keep her in place.

After an unknown period of time, Xuanyuan Zhi finally stopped in a courtyard. He took her in his arms and strode into the corridor before he took the cloak away from her.

"My prince, my princess." Qi Sha walked over from the side.

"Where's Ling Mo?"

"In the room."

The three of them quickly entered the room. Chu Qingyao looked at the man covered in blood on the bed, "How did you get so injured?"

"Chu Qingyao, save him." After Xuanyuan Zhi finished speaking, he brought Qi Sha out and left some space for her. Chu Qingyao walked up to the bed and opened the medical system as she observed.

The man's body was covered in wounds. Although they were all bandaged, but some parts of his body were still bleeding. If this dragged on, even if his vital parts were not injured, he would die from excessive blood loss. The system's result came out very quickly. After being slashed 11 times, he had already lost too much blood and fainted.

She quickly drew some blood from a syringe and gave him a blood test. As soon as she came out, she found the appropriate blood bag and gave him a blood transfusion. Then, he took out the disinfectant to disinfect all aspects of the room. After doing all of this, he took a deep breath and arranged the medical gloves, bandages, and needle and thread that he needed to use in the future.

She put on the gloves and removed the bandages one by one. The small wounds were placed on the bandage first. Those that bled profusely were sewn together with medicine and then carefully bandaged up. After taking care of the bigger wounds, she straightened her back, took out the Anti-Inflammation Potion from the system, and hung it up. After they were all bandaged, their body temperature and blood pressure were measured. Due to the blood loss, the man's body temperature was a little too low.

After giving the man two bags of blood, his body temperature slowly rose. Once the anti-inflammatory medicine was gone, she immediately dealt with it and let Xuanyuan Zhi in.

"How is it?" Xuanyuan Zhi immediately came to the bedside.

"My life is safe."

"Xuanyuan Zhi let out a long breath. Ling Mo cannot die." "Let's go back." He wrapped his cloak around her and pulled her into his arms. Soon they were in the howling cold wind.

When they returned to the Duke Palaces, the sky was already bright, and the two of them directly entered the Blue Luan Courtyard. The Seventh Jue entered from outside. "Prince, we've found it. It's the Emperor's men."

Xuanyuan Zhileng said with a face full of shame, "Why was Ling Mo so careless?" The imperial brother was like a poisonous snake. If he was targeted, you wouldn't loosen your bite unless you bit him to death.

Chu Qingyao was completely confused when she heard this. She didn't know why the emperor was involved.

"My prince, what should we do about Dong Yi?" Qi Jue was anxious.

"Wait till Ling Mo wakes up." Xuanyuan Zhi's voice was hoarse, filled with fatigue. Ling Mo was his God of Fortune and butler.

Chu Qingyao was shocked, could it be that the person who was treating her in the night was the richest person in the capital, Ling Mo? Thinking back to how he was in a rush to save someone last night, he looked very similar to the man who charged into Blue Luan Courtyard last time.

"The prince's army needs clothes to survive the winter?" Wasn't there someone responsible for this?
