Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

Su Yunxuan sat down at the table and saw three unfolded wooden boxes on the table.

Inside the box were a gold bracelet inlaid with rubies and emeralds, a silver bracelet and a rosewood hairpin.

Apart from the hairpin, the other two accessories were both extremely gorgeous, especially the bracelet, which was made of silver Yunxuan flowers that were carved to look lifelike, and the petals were connected by three silver tassels inlaid with tiny gemstones and a gem ring.

After staring at it for a while, Su Yunxuan asked in surprise, "Are these three pieces of jewelry all self-defense weapons?"

Su Changfeng nodded, smiled and asked her to take one and take a look to see if she could find any clues.

Su Yunxuan thought about it, then raised her hand and picked up the hairpin to observe it.

The straight red sandalwood hairpin was round and smooth, with a hollow cloud carved on the top. The style was simple and very much to her liking, and she stroked it with satisfaction.

Seeing the smile on her lips, Su Changfeng asked, "Did you see it?"

Su Yunxuan shook her head, but her hands suddenly pinched the auspicious cloud pattern and pulled it hard.

There was a flash of silver light, and an extremely thin and sharp steel needle appeared.

Because it was much longer than expected, her left hand, which was holding the other half of the hairpin, did not have time to move away, and a small hole was instantly pierced on the tip of her index finger.

Bright red blood oozed out, and she squinted her eyes in pain, while holding it up with her thumb nail.

Just as she was about to squeeze out the blood, the next second, Su Changfeng grabbed her hands with both hands.

Then he came closer. Su Yunxuan turned around quickly, lowered her right hand holding the silver needle, and reminded him hurriedly: "It's very sharp, Brother Changfeng, be careful..."

While she was speaking, Su Changfeng had already snatched the half-broken hairpin that was still in her palm with one hand, and with the other hand he lifted her palm to his lips, then lowered his head and was about to suck it.

"No need." Su Yunxuan shouted in shock, clenching her five fingers and trying to step back.

Su Changfeng simply threw away the half of the hairpin in his hand, scolded her "Don't move", then forcefully pried her fingers apart and lowered his head to cover them.

The warmth from his fingertips made Su Yunxuan dare not move. She only felt that the movement of his lips on her fingertips was very urgent and strong at first, but then gradually slowed down and became gentle after a moment.

After a while, just as she was enduring the numbness and itchiness of her fingertips and was hesitating whether to remind him that it was enough, Su Changfeng finally moved his lips away, raised his eyes to look at her and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Su Yunxuan blushed and shook her head, shrinking back, "It doesn't hurt, it's just that you were so harsh when you said don't move."

Su Changfeng was stunned and asked uncertainly: "Is it really fierce?"

Su Yunxuan nodded. Su Changfeng regretfully promised: "I will speak more quietly next time."

"I won't dare to be naughty next time." Su Yunxuan said as she broke free from his hand, bent down and picked up the half of the hairpin on the ground to examine it with a look of heartache.

Worried that she might hurt herself again, Su Changfeng turned to look at the other two hidden weapons on the table, frowned slightly, and called out, "Ruofeng."

Ruofeng came in from the door with his eyes downcast, "Master?"

Su Changfeng took the hairpin that had been put back together in Su Yunxuan's hand and handed it to him, saying, "You come and show her how to use and what to watch out for with these three hidden weapons."

Ruofeng took the order and demonstrated each one seriously.

After introducing the three self-defense weapons, Su Yunxuan was amazed at their novel designs and admired their exquisite workmanship.

In addition to the steel needle hidden in the hairpin, there was also a small black iron sword hidden in the jeweled gold bracelet.

And that silver bracelet is even more amazing. Not only is it an arrow bracelet that can fire five silver needles in a row, but the "gem" on the ring can also be opened, which is more than enough to hide a few of the treasures that Ayi gave her.

After playing with it for a long time, and at Su Changfeng's request, the three of them left the house and went to Nishangfang together.

In Nishangfang, when Su Yunxuan was choosing clothes, Su Changfeng met with Ali in secret to ask how things were going.

Ali reported them one by one respectfully.

After he no longer had to guard Feng Shenyi, he was ordered to take the things and list given to him by Su Changfeng and visit the neutral officials in the capital one by one.

According to the information Su Changfeng had already gathered, he used money or threats to induce them to support the peace talks between Feng Lan and Yun Sheng, or to argue for the peace talks at the court meeting.

Since Su Changfeng had done sufficient preparation, he basically only had to follow the suggestions in the booklet, and things went very smoothly.

In just one day, five goals were achieved.

After listening to this, Su Changfeng affirmed Ali's ability to do things, and then emphasized again that one should not use force against those who cannot be persuaded, one should not hurt people, one should not be reckless, and one must act in secret before taking Su Yunxuan back to the Princess's Mansion.

From a distance, Ruofeng noticed while driving the carriage that there were two more patrols in front of the Princess's residence. Ten men in each group, a total of twenty people, all carrying weapons.

The carriage stopped cautiously in front of the mansion gate, and Ruo Feng tilted his head to report, "Master, the people who were guarding the Princess's mansion have already left."

Su Changfeng helped Su Yunxuan get off the carriage, glanced at the extra people, and whispered to Ruofeng: "Go in and see if Feng Yuqi is still there. If he is, follow him secretly."

Ruofeng followed the order and went into the mansion first. Su Yunxuan was led into the mansion by Su Changfeng. Seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did Brother Changfeng send Ruofeng to follow Feng Yuqi?"

Su Changfeng replied: "I suspect that Feng Yuqi took Yan Yu away not only to avenge him for betraying Zi Xi, but there must be other purposes."

The two of them went to Shaoguang Courtyard while discussing the strangeness of the incident, but were stopped by two maids guarding the gate outside the courtyard.

The maidservant passed on the message: The princess was in a bad mood and wanted to be alone, and she strictly ordered that no one be allowed in.

The two had no choice but to change their route and go to Jinggu Garden to visit Ye Zixi.

In Jinggu Garden, Ye Zixi was pulling Feng Yuqi to sit at the table for dinner. Seeing them coming in from a distance, she happily shouted to Feng Yuqi, "Brother, don't be angry anymore, sister is here."

Feng Yuqi immediately sat down and asked, "Is she alone?"

When he heard Ye Zixi reply "With Brother Changfeng", he immediately stood up and said angrily: "This sickly person is really generous!"

Ye Zixi didn't understand what he meant by this, so she asked curiously, "Did Brother Changfeng give you anything good?"

Feng Yuqi: "..."

He turned to Ye Zixi and ordered: "Don't call him brother!"

"If not brother, what should I call you?"

Feng Yuqi: “…” He wanted to say “sick kid” but was afraid of bringing bad influence to Ye Zixi, so he stopped himself and didn’t say anything.

While he was silent, Ye Zixi had already rushed out.

She ran to stand in front of Su Yunxuan and Su Changfeng, Ye Zixi tilted her head and called "Sister" sweetly, but she glanced at Su Changfeng and said nothing.

Su Yunxuan asked in confusion: "Why doesn't Zixi call Changfeng brother?"

"My brother doesn't let me call him brother." Ye Zixi answered honestly, and then turned her head to glance at Feng Yuqi.

Feng Yuqi: “…” He doesn’t care about being sold, he really doesn’t want her to scream.

Hearing that girl calling me Brother Changfeng all the time, I feel angry!

"Childish!" Su Yunxuan muttered, squatting down to teach Ye Zixi to be polite, know right from wrong, and to ignore bad words.

Ye Zixi nodded obediently. Su Yunxuan stood up and looked in, seeing that they were about to eat. She leaned over and told Ye Zixi to accompany her brother well. She ignored Feng Yuqi's words to stop her and went straight back to the lakeside pavilion with Su Changfeng.

The two of them had dinner at the pavilion in the center of the lake and discussed for a long time about going to the palace for a banquet tomorrow.

By the time Su Changfeng sent Su Yunxuan back to Jinggu Garden at midnight, Feng Yuqi had already left.

Ruofeng followed them to a villa in the city, leaned over the roof and lifted a tile. Sure enough, he saw Tian pushing Yan Yu in front of Feng Yuqi.

It was a pity that he was discovered by Feng Yuqi as soon as he saw the person clearly.
