In Nanfeng City.
Chu Haifeng, the princess of Chu State, wore a gorgeous phoenix robe that swayed on the floor. The complicated embroidery patterns on it shone dazzlingly in the sun.
In front of her were rows of prisoners kneeling on the ground.
Their clothes were in rags and their faces were full of fear and despair.
"You traitors to the empire, are you tired after running away for so long?" Chu Haifeng smiled mockingly.
Her laughter was sharp and harsh, like a razor blade cutting across the ice, making people shudder.
Seeing Chu Haifeng walking towards them, the prisoners' bodies trembled and their eyes showed fear.
They swallowed hard and were so frightened that they wanted to retreat and escape, but there was no way to retreat.
"Tell me, where is your general?" Chu Haifeng raised his chin slightly and raised a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth.
She waved her hand, and a guard immediately came forward with a tray behind her. On the tray were various exquisite tools: sharp blades, slender silver needles, and hot soldering irons.
These tools reflected a cold light in the sun, as if telling of the coming cruelty.
Chu Haifeng elegantly picked up a silver needle and admired its gleaming sharpness in the sun: "I told you that I would be promoted to an official position, but I didn't tell you..."
She smiled softly, with a kind of aloof arrogance and cold determination in her smile.
"Don't say anything, just enjoy it slowly." She held the long needle, walked slowly to a prisoner, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently lifted the prisoner's chin.
The prisoner struggled wildly, shaking his head violently, his eyes full of begging for mercy.
Chu Haifeng was unmoved. She chuckled and stabbed the silver needle into the prisoner's temple.
Accompanied by a painful cry, the blood dyed the tip of the silver needle red and dripped on Chu Haifeng's phoenix robe, leaving a series of shocking mottled marks.
The prisoners around him closed their eyes in horror, not daring to face this cruel scene.
Chu Haifeng, on the other hand, calmly examined his masterpiece as if he were appreciating a work of art.
She looked at the other prisoners coldly, with warning and threat: "This is the consequences of going against Chu."
Her words were full of arrogance and domineering, as if she was a goddess in control of everything.
Xu Huaian looked at this scene, sweating profusely and feeling horrified.
Seeing Chu Haifeng looking at him, his legs gave out and he knelt down suddenly: "Princess, calm down, everything I say is true, absolutely true!"
"Why are you panicking? My men have already captured them, and they will be taken to Nanfeng City in the near future." Chu Haifeng wiped her hands gracefully and returned to her seat slowly.
"I keep my word. If I give you an official title, I will definitely make you an official." As she said that, she took out a stack of documents and handed them to Xu Huaian: "Take my handwritten letter and go. Let’s go to Chu State.”
After hearing this, Xu Huaian breathed a sigh of relief, took the document with both hands, and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!"
At the same time, Bei Ming Palace.
The return of Ye Ji and Emperor Zun made the originally deserted Beiming Palace instantly lively.
The moment Ye Xixi and Huangfu Sihan saw Ye Ji, they spread their legs and flew towards Ye Ji impatiently like birds returning to their nest.
The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, hugged Ye Ji's waist tightly, and their childish and cheerful voices were full of attachment to Ye Ji: "Mother, mother~"
Ye Ji's heart was melted instantly. She hugged the two children tenderly, with a soft light in her eyes: "Mom, I miss you so much."
"Mother, you have been gone for so long, and we all miss you." Ye Xixi curled her lips and looked at Ye Ji with aggrieved expression.
Huangfu Sihan also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, mother, can you take us with you next time you go out? We promise not to cause any trouble to you."
"Yes, yes." Ye Xixi repeatedly agreed.
Yeji didn't expect these two little guys to have such a tacit understanding, so she laughed repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will definitely take you with me next time."
Thinking of what happened to her mother, Ye Ji couldn't help but hug the two little guys into her arms, and simplified what happened in the Netherworld Dynasty into a fairy tale and told it to the two children.
When they heard that they were going to have a grandma, the two little guys' eyes suddenly widened, as if they were shining with the light of bright stars.
"Is it true? Xixi is going to have a grandmother?" Ye Xixi's eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.
She never dreamed that she would have a grandma and grandma all of a sudden.
Huangfu Sihan looked at Emperor Zun with a sad face, complaining that his father had hidden such a big thing from him.
"Yeah, are you happy?" Ye Ji kissed Ye Xixi's forehead, thinking of the scene when she took Xixi to meet her mother and concubine, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
The mother-in-law will definitely be very happy when she sees Xixi.
Knowing that Ye Ji was back, Bei Mingsu and He Feng rushed to Beiming Palace without stopping.
It was also at this time that they realized that the princess of the Netherworld Dynasty mentioned by the Netherworld King was actually Ye Ji!
"Are you the princess of the Netherworld Dynasty?" Bei Mingsu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Fortunately, he discussed it with his father and thought that King Netherworld was looking for the emperor's face, so he asked Ye Ji to sign the agreement by name. If he said this, then Ye Ji would sign the agreement. That makes sense.
"Yeah." Ye Ji nodded noncommittally.
After hearing this, He Feng's eyes flashed with excitement: "Now all countries are talking about it. I don't know what you did to make the King of Netherworld come to sign a friendly peace agreement with us. As soon as you say that you are the princess of Netherworld Dynasty, Then we understand.”
It seems that in the future, he can not only do business in the fantasy continent and the spiritual world, but also with the Netherworld Dynasty!
Ye Ji also didn't expect that as soon as she stepped forward, the King of Netherworld would give her a big gift, which was unexpected but also a bit gratifying.
Thinking about it, it was probably for the mother and concubine's sake.
After learning this important news, Bei Mingsu returned to the palace eagerly, preparing to inform Emperor Beiming of the good news.
He Feng came with Bei Mingsu, and now that Bei Mingsu has left, he will naturally follow him.
However, seeing that Emperor Zun, Huangfu Sihan and others were all here, if he just left like this, wouldn't it be equivalent to pushing away the opportunity?
So He Feng stayed behind, pretending that he had something to discuss with Ye Ji.
Seeing that He Feng was hesitant and hesitant to speak, Ye Ji raised her eyebrows and found a deserted place: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
He Feng didn't expect Ye Ji to be so observant, so he said with some embarrassment: "This month's dividends are down, take a look."
Ye Ji couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this: "Is that why?"
"Of course not, I want to ask you, you have found your biological parents, do you still want to find Xi Xi's biological father?" He Feng asked with a nervous look on his face.
Emperor Zun is Xi Xi's biological father. Does Ji'er already know about this?
