Chapter 725 Beautiful and Ruthless

Feng Chenmu raised his eyebrows. He saw a moment of surprise in Queen Tao's eyes, and his heart couldn't help but jump for joy - as expected, his face was authoritative wherever he went.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Tao Yanyan looked away: "So this is what the real Prince of Yan looks like. Disguising myself as Mu Chenfeng before, leaving such a big scar, it really wronged Prince Yan."

Feng Chenmu smiled and said, "I feel wronged that I couldn't show my true face to you earlier."

Tao Yanyan listened to him without being disturbed by his sweet talk. He just sneered and raised his eyes and said, "Now that we've met, your identity as King Yan is no longer a secret. Have you ever thought about what will happen next?"

Tao Yanyan glanced at the shadow beside Feng Chenmu, then glanced outside the door: "This is the Great Zhou Palace, not a place where you can come and go as you please, Prince Yan."

Feng Chenmu felt a tinge of regret for revealing his identity so quickly, but he felt that since the two countries had already reached peace, the Great Zhou wouldn't take his life no matter what. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Since I dared to come here, I naturally believe that the Great Zhou wouldn't be so unethical as to openly disrespect me."

Tao Yanyan smiled softly. "The Great Zhou court really needs to think carefully about how to treat the King of Yan. But—you are now in my hands." After she finished speaking, her face turned cold and she shouted, "Come on, capture the King of Yan!"

Feng Chenmu: "..."

Before he could react to why Queen Tao suddenly changed her attitude, he was pulled behind by the shadow, and Shuang'er, the secret guards and the imperial guards had quickly surrounded the two of them.

"Your Majesty, should we kill them?" Shadow asked Feng Chenmu. He had actually wanted to do it for a long time. The embarrassment of being chased last night made him hate the people of Da Zhou to the core, but his master did not allow him to harm Queen Tao.

Feng Chenmu looked at Tao Yanyan coldly, speechless because of the anger he felt towards her. This was the first time he had seen a woman who could turn against him so quickly.

She is both beautiful and ruthless, a tormenting demon.

"Why are you killing us? There are only a few of us, can you kill us all?" Feng Chenmu said angrily.

He looked Tao Yan straight in the eye and said, "Just now she smiled sweetly at me, but in the blink of an eye she glared at me. It's such a pity that Empress Tao doesn't go to the opera."

Tao Yanyan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense and surrender. You'll suffer less."

Feng Chenmu laughed angrily: "You treat me like this, aren't you afraid that the Emperor of Great Zhou won't be able to handle it?"

Tao Yanyan remained calm and composed. "Oh, the Prince of Yan dared to come uninvited, bringing his experts with him to my grand anniversary banquet. I've discovered your identity and imprisoned you. What's the problem? What's more, you've teased me repeatedly, both in your words and in your lies. I'm the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You were disrespectful to me first, so I can retaliate."

Shadow was already secretly gathering his strength and making a desperate gesture. Feng Chenmu thought about it and pulled him back.

The Yan State envoys were still toasting at the banquet, unaware that their master had been captured. Lord Shangguan grew increasingly anxious when he saw Feng Chenmu and Anying taking so long to return to the table. He also realized that the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not present either, and a bold guess lingered in his mind:

Could it be that their master went to tease the Queen of the Great Zhou?

Anyway, their master has a criminal record, and this is not the first or second time he has acted so recklessly.

He was filled with anger: Don’t you consider the occasion? Can anyone be teased?

Lord Shangguan wanted to go look for his master, but he saw Queen Tao had returned with a smile on her face. She sat beside the Emperor of Zhou and whispered a few words to him.

They were too far away to hear what the emperor and empress were saying, and Lord Shangguan was extremely anxious.

He Linzhang didn't expect Tao Yanyan to be so decisive in arresting them. He smiled indulgently and glanced at the Yan State envoys: "Then let them finish their meal, and then take them all to reunite with the King of Yan."

Poor Lord Shangguan and his men never waited for their master, but instead waited for the guards from the Great Zhou. After the banquet, more than a dozen of them were invited to leave by the guards, leaving them no room for resistance.

On New Year's Eve, the Yan State delegation experienced both ice and fire. First they were guests of honor of the Great Zhou, and then they became prisoners. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

Feng Chenmu was lying in the prison of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with dry straw beneath him. His heart was bleeding. He had been thinking about her so much that he took the risk to see her, but she was so cruel and heartless.

"Tsk, what a cruel woman!"

In Changle Palace, Tao Yanyan nestled in He Linzhang's arms, and couldn't help laughing when she thought about what happened today.

"Your Majesty, you didn't see the Prince of Yan's expression. It was like a color palette, so funny. By the way, he also said that there was a list of handsome men from four countries, and Your Majesty ranked first!" Tao Yanyan raised his head and looked at He Linzhang with bright eyes, full of love.

He Linzhang's heart softened, and he hugged her tighter. "I haven't heard of this list. Besides me, who else is on it?"

"Well, the second one is the King of Yan, the third one is my sworn brother Wang Xingchuan, and the fourth one is from the Xia Kingdom, his name is Kang Moxi. I didn't ask about the others."

When he heard Wang Xingchuan's name, He Linzhang's eyes were a little evasive. Thinking of the letter sent by the Demon Cult, he was still hesitating whether to tell Tao Yanyan.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty? Why do you look a little weird?" Tao Yanyan couldn't help but ask.

"Well, nothing much. Do you still exchange letters with Wang Xingchuan?"

Tao Yanyan thought he was jealous again, so he quickly said, "Yes, he does, but not much. He only writes to me every year when he has something to do, and the last one was several months ago. Your Majesty, you wouldn't be jealous even for him writing to me, would you?"

Previously, Tao Yanyan asked Wang Xingchuan to help her find out the whereabouts of Jiang Yingying. Wang Xingchuan once wrote to say that people from the Demon Cult had seen a similar person.

Several months passed, but there was no news.

He Linzhang was silent for a moment before he said, "I'm not jealous, but I received news that Wang Xingchuan was seriously injured. Your biological father went looking for medicinal herbs to treat his injuries and disappeared in the northern border."

"What?" Tao Yanyan sat up suddenly. "Such a serious matter, why has Your Majesty kept it a secret? When did this happen?"

Seeing her anxious, He Linzhang hurriedly said, "I only received news in the past two days. I'm not sure, so I've sent people to investigate. And with Xiaobao's incident, I haven't told you yet. Don't worry, the Queen Mother is also in the northern border. She has people around her. I've asked them to search for your father's whereabouts. Doctor Liu and the others are also with the Queen Mother and can help."

The implication was that if her biological father was injured, the imperial physician could cure him.

Tao Yanyan's good mood after catching Feng Chenmu tonight has disappeared.

"Brother Xingchuan...will he die before my father comes back..." She couldn't bear to say the word "die". To her, the death of anyone was too heavy.

He Linzhang hugged her and gently stroked her back: "Wait for news."
