Jiang Xue asked. She originally wanted to let Feng Ziqing wait for one more day, but considering that she was Xiao Zhan's cousin after all, she didn't want to make it too difficult for him.

"Do not worry."

Xiao Zhan seemed unhurried: "Xiaoxue, how about playing a game of chess?"

After learning that Jiang Xue was injured, Lan Feng was eager to visit her, but was forbidden to go out by his father.

Jiang Xiaowei understood his worries and was extremely anxious. In the end, she persuaded General Lan to lift the ban by praying for blessings.

In the carriage, Jiang Xiaowei mustered up the courage to hold Lan Feng's hand and comforted him, "Husband, Miss Changle will be safe and sound, you don't have to worry too much."

Lan Feng looked at Jiang Xiaowei gratefully: "Thank you, Xiaowei." Although he had no love in his heart, he was still grateful for her understanding and help.

Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan, who were playing chess, were a little surprised when they learned that Lan Feng was coming to visit.

"What is he doing here?" Xiao Zhan asked with a frown.

"Jealous?"

Jiang Xue gently poked Xiao Zhan's forehead and said with a smile: "My heart has always been with you. I don't understand why you still have such a big opinion about Lan Feng."

"Xiaoxue, I was indeed jealous of him. Even though I knew your heart only belonged to me, I still couldn't control my jealousy. I was jealous of the days he spent with you at the border, and jealous of everything you experienced together."

"In that case, I won't see him."

Xiao Zhan felt relieved when he saw Jiang Xue didn't want to see Lan Feng, but he still suggested: "If you don't meet him, he might be worried. Why not meet him?"

Jiang Xue smiled: "Are you not jealous anymore?"

Xiao Zhan sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Although I feel a little jealous, I can't let personal feelings interfere with important matters at hand."

He looked at Jiang Xue, his tone gentle but firm: "General Lan Feng is the pillar of the dynasty and the guardian of the border. As the regent princess, it is only natural for you to meet him."

"Then I'll go see him now?"

Jiang Xue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said jokingly, "Yun Che, it's not too late for you to regret now."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhan had thrown the chess piece in his hand aside, hugged her tightly, and kissed her passionately on the lips.

After a long while, he whispered, "I never regret it."

When Lan Feng stepped into the room, he saw two people immersed in the chess game, and a huge stone in his heart finally fell.

It seemed that she was not seriously injured. However, the atmosphere between the two seemed to have changed subtly.

Jiang Xue stood up to greet them: "General Lan, Xiao Wei, you are here."

"Your Highness, I heard that..."

Lan Feng paused for a moment and glanced at Xiao Zhan: "Madam Feng injured you with a sword today. I am very worried and came to visit you."

Jiang Xue chuckled: "Do I look injured to you?"

Lan Feng observed her carefully and found that she looked relaxed and behaved naturally, and she certainly did not look like someone who was injured.

"what on earth is it?"

"In fact, I did feel guilty towards the Feng family, so it was inconvenient for me to confront Madam Feng directly. So, I put on a breast protection goggles and hid a blood bag inside my clothes. As a result, the sword attack was just a false alarm, and it scared her herself instead."

"It's good that everything is fine. It's good that everything is fine."

Lan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but then noticed Xiao Zhan's presence and Jiang Xue's honesty, and realized that he also knew about it.

"Brother Zhan, did you know the truth from the beginning?"

"At first I thought the girl was injured, but later I found out it was a misunderstanding."

Xiao Zhan explained: "Please rest assured, I have never forgotten my promise to the late emperor."

Lan Feng frowned: "If that's the case, you shouldn't have given your aunt the opportunity to draw her sword against you."

"This is not Lord Feng's fault."

Jiang Xue interrupted and said, "I handed the sword to her myself, otherwise she wouldn't have the courage to do that."

"Even so, today was arranged in advance, and the princess is safe, but what if a similar incident happens again in the future? Shouldn't we take precautions in advance?"

General Lan sighed softly, and his eyes fell steadily on Xiao Zhan: "Brother Zhan, I believe you."

Although the two have not communicated much in recent years, Lan Feng has firm trust in Xiao Zhan's character.

Jiang Xiaowei observed silently from the side. She noticed that there was a special light in Xiao Zhan's eyes when he looked at Jiang Xue, as if there was an unknown story hidden in them.

She thought to herself that the feelings between them were so deep, but that was also a good thing, after all, both of them deserved happiness.

"I'm just doing my duty and don't need your trust." Xiao Zhan said in a cold tone, as if he was unwilling to accept the weight of this trust.

Sensing the delicate atmosphere, Jiang Xue cleverly changed the subject: "Xiao Wei, long time no see, you are becoming more and more charming. It seems that General Lan treats you very well."

Jiang Xiao smiled and responded: "Yes, the elders in my family are very caring towards me."

Jiang Xue felt relieved after hearing this. It was obvious that Lan Feng had fulfilled his promise and treated his wife with care. In the future, this couple would surely become a couple that everyone envied.

Suddenly, Fu Dong came in hurriedly and whispered something in Jiang Xue's ear. Jiang Xue's face suddenly changed, and it was obvious that the matter was not simple.

"This matter is serious, is it confirmed?" she asked.

Fudong nodded affirmatively.

Jiang Xue immediately turned to the crowd and said, "I have something important to attend to and need to go to the palace immediately. Yun Che, please come with me."

Seeing this, Lan Feng and Jiang Xiaowei remained silent tactfully, but they knew in their hearts that something big must be happening in the palace.

"Please do as you please, Princess. We will not disturb you."

After Lan Feng finished speaking, he took Jiang Xiaowei away, but his thoughts had already drifted towards various possibilities.

In the carriage, Jiang Xiaowei couldn't help but ask her husband: "Husband, is there anything unusual today?"

"What's wrong?" Lan Feng asked.

"I just feel that everything is wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong." Jiang Xiaowei chose to keep her guess so as not to add to Lan Feng's worries.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan held Jiang Xue's hand tightly in the car: "Xiaoxue, what exactly happened in the palace?" he asked anxiously, his eyes revealing concern.

Jiang Xue looked up, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes: "Your cousin Feng Ziqing has caused a big mess again. I must discipline her today and let her know what the rules are."

Xiao Zhan frowned and asked, "What did she do again?"

"I just received news that Feng Ziqing actually gave the emperor a cold bath and let him blow cold air. Now the emperor has a bad cold. She is using this method to force us to take action. It's really crazy."

"How could she do this?"

Although Xiao Zhan knew that Feng Ziqing was stubborn, he didn't expect that she would hurt her own son, who was her future support.

Jiang Xue sneered: "Your cousin is so cruel that she can even use her own son. If her ability can match her ambition, maybe she can really succeed. Unfortunately, she is only doing bad things."

She couldn't help but feel sympathy for the little emperor Zhao Heng. He had been treated as a tool from the very beginning and had never received any love. Now he was treated like this by his mother. Where was the maternal love at all?
