The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

Feng Yanan was surprised. She had been wandering in the space for so long, but it was less than half an hour outside.

When Feng Yanan learned that time in space was slower than outside, she was confused and puzzled. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of doubts, as if she was trying to understand this fact that went against common sense.

However, as she gradually digested this information, Feng Yanan's expression began to change. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she realized the endless possibilities that this space might bring.

Her fingers unconsciously rubbed her chin, as if she was thinking about a complicated problem.

Seeing her frown and then look surprised, Xiao Hong asked worriedly: "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

Feng Yanan came back to her senses: "It's okay, I just had a nightmare and couldn't fall asleep after waking up."

At this time in the Prince's Mansion, Yan Wuji was sitting in the study, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if they could penetrate the thick walls.

A man in black flashed into the study, knelt in front of Yan Wuji, and reported in a low voice: "My lord, the attempt to assassinate Yan Lingxiao has failed."

Yan Wuji clenched his hands into fists, and the teacup on the desk jumped up due to his powerful strength, and the tea splashed everywhere. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn this dark world to ashes.

"Waste!" Yan Wuji's voice was cold and full of anger. "I gave you so many chances, why did you still fail?"

The man in black shuddered, not daring to look up at Yan Wuji's angry eyes. He knew very well that Yan Wuji's anger could not be quelled easily.

“Master, please calm down.” The man in black said in a trembling voice, “Yan Lingxiao is very powerful, and it is difficult for our people to approach him.”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Yan Wuji's eyes, and he smiled coldly, "Yan Lingxiao, don't think that you can always escape my pursuit just because you are the God of War? I will let you know that this prince is stronger than you."

He stood up suddenly, his figure becoming taller in the darkness. His anger was like a blazing flame, lighting up the entire study. He knew that this failure was only temporary, and he would definitely find an opportunity to launch another fatal assassination against Yan Lingxiao.

Yan Wuji's figure disappeared in the darkness, leaving only his cold laughter echoing in the study. The man in black bowed his head deeply, knowing that this failed assassination attempt would bring him endless nightmares. Who was that? Yan Lingxiao was the war god of Dongling. Why did the prince kill this cold-faced war god when he could kill anyone else? Did he think his life was too long?

Yan Wuji returned to his bedroom. Thinking of the jade pendant on Feng Caiwei at the palace banquet today, he clenched his fists and looked grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "Feng...Ya...Nan...you wait and see for me." Thinking of Feng Yanan's graceful and elegant appearance at the banquet today, Yan Wuji's heart beat wildly without knowing it. The corner of his mouth curled up into an evil smile, which made people tremble with fear.

"Your Highness!" The guard at the door called out respectfully with his head lowered, as if he had something to report.

"What's the matter?" Yan Wuji stared at the newcomer impatiently. The guard felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast. "Reporting to His Royal Highness, Feng Caiwei invites His Royal Highness to light lanterns in a few days."

"This prince is busy." I lost so much face today. If Feng Caiwei is mentioned now, I will slap her in the face if she is in front of me. What did this prince like about her before? A fool can't handle her and she was defeated. She is really useless. It's a pity that this prince treated her so well before.

"Your Highness, Feng Caiwei said that there was something fishy about what happened today. She wanted to discuss countermeasures with Your Highness." Seeing that the prince was furious, the guard tremblingly told Yan Wuji what Feng Caiwei said.

Yan Wuji put his right hand on his chin and thought for a long time before he ordered: "Tell Feng Caiwei to go see the 'Miss of the General's Mansion'. It's better to let her go too. Let's light lanterns in three days." He said he was going to see Feng Yanan, which meant that he wanted Feng Caiwei to curry favor with Feng Yanan and say good things about him in front of her. Yan Wuji didn't want to give up Feng Yanan.

And three days later it will be July 14th.

In ancient times, July 14th was the Zhongyuan Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival, the Mid-July Festival, and the Ancestor Worship Festival.

On the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, people will hold a series of celebrations and sacrificial activities. First, they will worship their ancestors to express their remembrance and respect for their ancestors. At the same time, they will also use various methods to help the dead souls to rest in peace, such as releasing river lanterns, worshipping the dead souls, and burning paper ingots, etc.

In addition, there are some activities related to folk beliefs and customs during the Zhongyuan Festival. For example, in some places, people will dance dragons and lions to drive away evil spirits and plagues. In some places, people will hold the activity of "releasing water lanterns", where small lanterns with blessings or prayers written on them will be placed in the water and float away with the current, which means sending away bad luck and praying for good luck.
