After reconciling Xuanyuan Zhiling and him, the entire Duke Palaces finally returned to their previous calm state after this storm. During this period of time, Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng had been inseparable from one another, and everyone was extremely envious of Xuanyuan Zhiling and his love.

On this day, Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng were in the rear garden admiring a flower when the butler suddenly ran over in a panic.

"Butler, what has made you so anxious?" Xuanyuan Zhiling asked with a slight frown. As he watched the butler run away sweating profusely, he gradually realized that something had happened.

Qin Feng also turned to look at the butler who was panting heavily.

"Your Highness, the Eunuch Li s of the palace have arrived. They said that they have something to tell you." The butler finally finished his sentence after taking a few breaths. Xuanyuan Zhiling slightly frowned when he heard the butler's words, as he had expected it to be related to the palace, because the butler would only end up like this if he encountered matters related to the palace.

"Alright, I'll be there right away." Xuanyuan Zhiling replied. As he spoke till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling turned around and glanced at Qin Feng; at this moment, Qin Feng was looking at him with a face full of worry.

Xuanyuan Zhiling lightly patted Qin Feng's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I'll be back in a while." Xuanyuan Zhiling left without looking back. Looking at Xuanyuan Zhiling's retreating back, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Xuanyuan Zhiling came to the great hall and saw that Eunuch Li was already waiting for him there. Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled faintly: "I am truly sorry for making you wait so long."

"Fourth King, you came. This old servant has no problem waiting a bit longer. I'm also here to run errands for the Emperor. You don't have to be courteous." Eunuch Li had always been extremely polite to Xuanyuan Zhiling, and this time was no exception. However, Eunuch Li's eyes were flickering, and Xuanyuan Zhiling could not help but mutter in his heart.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhiling saw through the clues, the Eunuch Li walked in front of Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"Fourth King, don't blame this old servant for speaking too much this time. You must prepare yourself for the emperor to come looking for you." Eunuch Li had a trace of helplessness on his face when he finished speaking, but he did not continue.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed lightly, "Eunuch Li, can you tell me what exactly happened here?" When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, Eunuch Li revealed a difficult expression.

"Fourth King, this old servant can't help you anymore. The Emperor told you to go see him personally, it seems like this matter is extraordinary." Eunuch Li had a slightly complex expression on his face as he said this.

Xuanyuan Zhiling's face slightly darkened, his expression carrying traces of seriousness.

"Alright, I'll follow you to the palace." Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed and followed the Eunuch Li into the palace.

Inside the Emperor's imperial study, the Emperor was seated on a chair with a complicated expression. Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhiling had arrived, a smile appeared on the Emperor's face.

"Fourth Bro, you've finally come. father has been waiting for you for a long time." The emperor had a smile on his face as he spoke till this point. Xuanyuan Zhiling also politely smiled, but he could not smile at all in his heart.

"father, why are you looking for me?" Xuanyuan Zhiling felt a little uneasy in his heart. Listening to Eunuch Li's tone, this matter should be detrimental to him.

The emperor walked out from the table and walked in front of Xuanyuan Zhiling. He sighed lightly and said with a serious expression: "Fourth brother, do you know that Soaring Wind Kingdom has come to visit?"

"father, I naturally know about such a big matter. I heard that Soaring Wind Kingdom came to express goodwill towards me, but I'm not clear about the specifics." Xuanyuan Zhiling frowned when he said this, could it be that the father was looking for him for this matter?

"Since you know, father does not want to continue keeping you in suspense. father has come to you about the Soaring Wind Kingdom." A trace of seriousness flashed across the Emperor's face, and his expression was slightly complicated.

Xuanyuan Zhiling slightly frowned, and said indifferently: "But father, I don't know what you mean."

The emperor was a little surprised to hear Xuanyuan Zhi Ling's words, he then turned his head and said indifferently, "The Special Envoy sent by the Windy Nation to ask for a marriage alliance with us is a sign that the two countries are at peace. Furthermore, the princess of the Windy Nation, Wen Yuhan, has decided to marry you. royal father feels that this is a beautiful thing … " The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Zhi Ling with a complicated expression as he said this.

"But father, I am someone who has a wife." Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhiling's face sunk, a trace of anger surging in his heart. This princess of Soaring Wind Kingdom actually wanted to take a liking to him, no matter what.

When the emperor heard Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, a look of astonishment flashed across his face as he deeply frowned and said, "Fourth Elder, father thinks so highly of you. This time father hopes that you can cooperate well, otherwise, father will be very disappointed."

Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to say something, but the emperor beat him to it.

"Besides, is it something new for men to have three wives?" Just because you married Qin Feng doesn't mean that you can't marry another woman. Furthermore, didn't you already marry that unfamiliar woman before this? " The emperor's expression was cold as she said this, but her eyes were filled with determination.

"But father, I have already …" Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to explain, but the Emperor stopped him with a cold voice.

"No need to speak further, this time father is not looking for you to discuss, but to order you to marry the Princess Wen Yahan of Soaring Wind Kingdom. Since she wanted to marry you by name, father has also agreed to it, don't tell me you want to embarrass father? Moreover, you can marry someone else, but can't you tolerate this one? " The Emperor frowned as he spoke.

"father, this time, your son will not agree to it. This time, I will definitely not marry Princess Soaring Wind Kingdom." Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a face full of determination, but his eyes also carried stubbornness.

The emperor originally wanted to be angry, but in order to achieve his goal, he sighed lightly and said, "How about this, father will give you a few more days to think about it. The Emperor's words were obviously hinting that Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to marry the Soaring Wind Kingdom princess, Wen Yahan.

"father, I don't need to think about it. I won't marry her." Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice was extremely resolute.

The emperor sighed and said, "You should think about it." After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Zhiling still wanted to say something but the emperor instructed the Eunuch Li to send him back to the Duke Palaces.

"Fourth King, let's go." When he said those words, he was looking at Xuanyuan Zhiling with a helpless expression.

Xuanyuan Zhiling let out a cold sigh and followed Eunuch Li out of the imperial study.

"Fourth King, although this old servant does not have the qualifications, I still want to advise you. Please consider the words of the Emperor." Eunuch Li earnestly advised Xuanyuan Zhiling.

However, Xuanyuan Zhiling did not say a word along the way, he only looked at the road with a gloomy expression.

Inside the Duke Palaces, Qin Feng was waiting for Xuanyuan Zhiling to come back for dinner. Ever since they had made up, Qin Feng had eaten every meal with Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"Princess, the prince has returned from the palace." The young maid said with a joyful expression as she entered the room.

Hearing that, Qin Feng stood up and was about to go out to welcome Xuanyuan Zhiling, but just as she walked to the door, Xuanyuan Zhiling had already stepped into the hall, and thus Qin Feng revealed a bright smile: "You're back, I'm waiting for you to eat dinner with me."

Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled faintly: "Eat it yourself, I'll be going to my room to rest." Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression slightly darkened, and walked into the room without even giving Qin Feng a glance.

Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling's back, Qin Feng gently furrowed her brows, as she realized that Xuanyuan Zhiling seemed to have encountered an unhappy matter while entering the palace.

"Princess, what happened to the prince?" Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling's unhappy look, Qin Chen asked worriedly.

Qin Feng sighed softly. Without saying anything, he went straight back to her room.

"What happened?" Qin Feng walked into the room and saw Xuanyuan Zhiling sitting at the table with a dark face. There was a jug of wine on the table and Xuanyuan Zhiling would occasionally raise his head and drink a cup.

Xuanyuan Zhiling did not speak, and only lowered his head and drank. Qin Feng sat beside Xuanyuan Zhiling, and stopped the wine cup that Xuanyuan Zhiling was raising. Xuanyuan Zhiling was stunned, his eyes looking at Qin Feng's face with complex emotions.

"Qin Feng, if there comes a day when I break the oath I made to you earlier, what will happen to you?" Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Qin Feng with a complicated expression as he said this.

Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled faintly: "You've sworn too many times to me, which one are you talking about?" Qin Feng said with a slight smile on her face.

Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled faintly when he heard this: "You're right too, I'm not even a qualified husband." When Xuanyuan Zhiling said till here, the corners of his mouth hooked up into a bitter smile.

"What happened?" Qin Feng realized that the matter was not as simple as she had imagined.

Xuanyuan Zhiling shook his head and said: "Forget it, I will not say anymore, but Qin Feng …" Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a bit of hesitation.

"But Qin Feng, no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side." As Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he pulled Qin Feng into his embrace, and felt her warmth. He didn't know how much longer this feeling would last. If Qin Feng knew that she was really going to marry another woman, perhaps she might really decide to leave him.

"Tell me what happened." Qin Feng leaned on Xuanyuan Zhiling's shoulder and asked.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed lightly and helped Qin Feng up from her shoulder. He took a deep breath and said: "If I were to marry another woman, what would happen to you?"
