After Xiao Chenfeng dealt with the matters at the palace, he prepared to leave.

Xiao Chenfeng, who had specially come to the Duke's Palace to say goodbye to Qin Feng, held onto the staff in her hand. Her long hair danced in the wind as she stood in front of Qin Feng.

"I'm leaving."

Xiao Chenfeng's tone was as calm as the desolate wind.

"The matters of the palace have been settled?"

In the face of Xiao Chenfeng's calmness, Qin Feng's voice appeared even more cold and indifferent.

The scene from before flashed past Qin Feng's mind, she no longer had any good feelings towards Xiao Chenfeng.

"Hai, it's almost done."

Xiao Chenfeng suddenly sighed for no reason.

"It's time for you to leave."

Qin Feng's words were ice-cold, without the slightest emotion. The moment these words came out, Xiao Chenfeng's face immediately sank.

"Although I know you don't hold back at all, I still want to see you."

Xiao Chenfeng's face showed traces of regret.

Qin Feng sighed, her expression was a little complicated, this Xiao Chenfeng was really reckless, if Xuanyuan Zhiling came out later, even if he wanted to leave, he would not be able to.

"Since you know all about it, why aren't you leaving?"

An extremely cold and murderous voice sounded out from behind Qin Feng.

Xuanyuan Zhiling came, or more accurately speaking, his face was dark.

"Fourth King, you are still so petty."

Xiao Chenfeng was not being polite, and when he said those words, Xuanyuan Zhiling's face became even uglier.

"Of course I don't have Young Master Xiao's grandeur. With a pair of crippled eyes, I still dare to risk my life to come to the Prince's Mansion."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's words carried killing intent that caused everyone to tremble.

"Xuanyuan Zhiling, don't be like this."

Qin Feng pulled at the corner of Xuanyuan Zhiling's clothes, frowned, and chided.

Xuanyuan Zhiling heard and frowned.

"This is This King's territory. What's wrong with me saying this?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling did not repent at all. Although he was tyrannical, his usual way of treating guests was definitely not like this.

"Your Highness is certainly correct. I, Xiao, was originally blind."

Xiao Chenfeng raised the corner of his mouth and laughed bitterly as his sleeves fluttered, giving off the feeling of a cool breeze.

"At least you know your place. Since that's the case, you don't need me to order you out, right?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling clasped his hands behind his back with a face full of disdain.

After Xiao Chenfeng heard this, the bitter corner of his mouth rose up once again, looking somewhat miserable.

"I just want to say a few words to Qin Feng, then leave."

Xiao Chenfeng's tone was a little desolate, because he knew that he might not be able to see Qin Feng again after this trip.

"Qin Feng? You're the one who called Qin Feng? "

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling was immediately enraged, if not for Qin Feng pulling him, then the heads of the people below the stage would have already landed on the ground.

"This is a matter between the two of us, why would Your Highness interfere? Moreover, I don't have any other intentions towards Qin Feng."

The biggest regret of Xiao Chenfeng's life was not being able to obtain Qin Feng.

"Xuanyuan Zhiling, go back first. Let me talk to him alone."

Qin Feng said indifferently, she could clearly feel a flash of surprise in Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes when she heard her.

"Qin Feng, you …"

Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to say something, but was cut off by Qin Feng.

"Alright, I agree, but I will send someone to watch over you. Be careful."

Xuanyuan Zhiling left in a bit of frustration, leaving only Qin Feng and Xiao Chenfeng in the hall.

"Okay, now you can say what you want to say."

Qin Feng's eyes were still ice-cold. Perhaps she was already used to being ice-cold.

"I have to go. Maybe I won't come back in the future."

Xiao Chenfeng's tone carried a bit of complex emotions: regret, regret, and also sadness.

"I know. I have nothing else to say, so I can only wish you a safe journey."

Although Qin Feng didn't have a good impression of Xiao Chenfeng, he didn't hate him either.

"Qin Feng, are you happy now?"

Xiao Chenfeng's words were light, but there was a trace of concern within them.

At that moment, Xuanyuan Zhiling was standing in the corner of the hall, listening to every word they were saying.

After hearing Xiao Chenfeng's question, Xuanyuan Zhiling also perked up his ears and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Me? If I can live my entire life like this, then it will not be a wasted life. "

Every word that Qin Feng said was like a pebble thrown into the hearts of the two men.

"Hur hur, that's good."

Xiao Chenfeng smiled faintly, it was a forced smile, causing people to feel uncomfortable.

Xuanyuan Zhiling, who was standing around the corner, faintly smiled when he heard this.

"I hope you can continue to be happy like this. It's good that you're happy."

Xiao Chenfeng laughed bitterly, but there was a trace of resolution in his eyes.

When Qin Feng heard this, he did not say a word, and only looked at Xiao Chenfeng quietly.

"Qin Feng, if the first person you meet was me, would you fall in love with me?"

Xiao Chenfeng suddenly thought of something and asked worriedly.

With this said, the three people in the hall all became nervous, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange.

Xuanyuan Zhiling subconsciously clenched his fists, as his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Maybe, I don't know."

Qin Feng didn't know how to reply, she could only take things lightly because she knew that Xuanyuan Zhiling was standing not far behind her.

Xuanyuan Zhiling's tightly clenched hands suddenly increased in strength, and he turned to leave.

When Xiao Chenfeng heard this, he let out a light laugh. Qin Feng could clearly feel the bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

"The real meaning of this answer is that it doesn't."

Xiao Chenfeng turned around, and slapping the ground a little disorderly with the staff in his hand, he walked towards the main entrance of the Duke's Palace with difficulty, one step at a time.

"Goodbye, Qin Feng."

Xiao Chenfeng's last sentence was filled with sadness.

Looking at Xiao Chenfeng's back figure that was gradually moving further and further away, Qin Feng's brows revealed traces of complicated emotions.

"What is it? "You can't bear to part with it?"

Behind him, an extremely sarcastic voice sounded out. Qin Feng frowned slightly.

"Xiao Chenfeng is right, your tolerance is indeed low."

Qin Feng was a little angry, and wanted to slip away from Xuanyuan Zhiling's side.

As expected, Xuanyuan Zhiling did not want to let her go. He only wanted to stay where he was.

"Are you feeling guilty now?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice was ice-cold, and even slightly trembled.

Qin Feng's heart trembled violently. She frowned but didn't say anything.

"I didn't do anything shameful, what do I feel guilty about?"

Qin Feng turned and stared coldly at Xuanyuan Zhiling, enunciating each word with authority.

After Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, surprise quickly flashed past his eyes, and his grip on Qin Feng loosened up a bit.

"I heard what you said to Xiao Chenfeng just now."

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed lightly, as if he had mentioned something that he was not willing to bring up.

"I know, why would someone like you be so magnanimous as to let us speak so openly?"

Qin Feng's tone was tinged with ridicule, mixed with a bit of iciness.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression suddenly flashed with a trace of viciousness, the hand that was grabbing onto Qin Feng immediately used up all of her strength, and Qin Feng only felt that her wrist was about to be crushed.

"Then I also want to ask you the same question. If you met him first, how would you choose him?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling asked with a complicated expression on his face.

"I don't know. Maybe I'll choose him."

Qin Feng was a little angry, and purposefully said it this way for Xuanyuan Zhiling to hear.

"Say that again!"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice grew more and more shaky, and the hand that tightly grabbed onto Qin Feng also began to tremble slightly.

"I said that if the first person I met was him, I would fall in love with him. He is gentle and considerate, better than anything else!"

Qin Feng said coldly, each word was like a needle that fiercely stabbed into Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart.

"Alright, since you said so, then don't blame me."

Xuanyuan Zhiling pulled Qin Feng into her embrace, and held her tightly with both hands.

"Let me go, let me go!"

Qin Feng struggled in Xuanyuan Zhiling's embrace, a trace of bitterness surging in her heart.

Xuanyuan Zhiling didn't believe her at all, but in his heart, he wasn't really sure if he should be angry or happy.

"I won't let go. I won't do it for the rest of my life."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone was laced with determination, an unshakeable determination.

These words inexplicably moved Qin Feng, and suddenly, a warm feeling flowed through her heart.

Qin Feng suddenly stopped struggling and hid herself in Xuanyuan Zhiling's embrace honestly.

"But there are no 'ifs' in this world, you have already met me, and that is already a foregone conclusion. You are my, Xuanyuan Zhiling's, woman."

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed lightly, hugged Qin Feng's small waist and said slowly.

"What I just said was infuriating, but …"

Qin Feng drooped her head and suddenly realized that her emotions were a bit too agitated just now.

"I know, I know."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said gently, but his eyes were rippling.

Qin Feng looked up, meeting Xuanyuan Zhiling's pair of blazing eyes.

"Sorry, Xuanyuan Zhiling, I..."

When Qin Feng said till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling's kiss fell down just like that.

After a long and lingering kiss, Xuanyuan Zhiling's lips had changed from normal overbearing to gentle.

"Zhi Ling …"

Qin Feng affectionately muttered, and a slight flush rose on her cheeks.

"Don't speak, enjoy this moment."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's kiss once again captured Qin Feng's lips, and the two people were entangled together as if they couldn't tear themselves apart.

At this very moment, within the Imperial Palace, the Emperor was lying on a dragon bed in bedchamber with a haggard expression.

"Your majesty, how are you?"

Eunuch Li stood beside the Emperor's dragon bed and asked with deep concern.

The emperor laid on the dragon bed and sighed deeply. Traces of sadness could be seen on his face.

"My body is getting worse with each passing day."

The emperor's face was filled with regret as his face became even paler.

When the Eunuch Li saw the Emperor like this, he couldn't help but secretly wipe his tears away.

"Your majesty, you will definitely be fine."

When the Emperor saw the tears in Eunuch Li's eyes, a faint smile quickly flashed across his face.

"Hehe, Eunuch Li, we are not going to die yet."

The had served beside him for dozens of years, and there was already a relationship between master and servant. Furthermore, the Eunuch Li was the Emperor's trusted aide.

"Yes, yes, it is all this old servant's fault, it is all this old servant's fault, this old servant is speaking nonsense."

Eunuch Li realized that he said the wrong thing and quickly wiped away the tears on his face. He knelt down and apologized to the Emperor.

"Ai, I don't blame you, but I still have some things to pass on to you."

Traces of tears appeared in the emperor's eyes, because he knew his body very clearly.

Hearing that, the Eunuch Li immediately leaned in front of the Emperor.

"Your majesty, what orders do you have for this old servant?"

Hearing that, the emperor waved his hand, signalling the Eunuch Li not to be anxious.

"It's nothing much. Let's talk about it in a few days. Maybe my condition will improve a little."

The emperor's gaze was quickly filled with complex emotions. Seeing that, Eunuch Li could only sigh and leave.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is here."

When his subordinates went in to report, Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng was currently eating, and was slightly startled when he heard his subordinate's words.

"Quick, invite him in."

Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng immediately put down their chopsticks and waited for Xuanyuan Yufeng to come in.

When Xuanyuan Yufeng came in, he was immediately startled by the scene before his eyes.

"Oh, what a good timing."

Xuanyuan Yufeng smiled widely as he called for the servants.

"Someone, fill up a bowl for the Fifth Prince."

After the servant finished arranging everything, Xuanyuan Yufeng took the opportunity to sit opposite of Xuanyuan Zhiling.
