Chapter 113 Your Highness, the three-month period has passed, and your protective shield is no longe
Chapter 113 Your Highness, the three-month period has passed, and your protective shield is no longer effective.
The two arrived at the front hall.
The lobby was spacious and bright, with the windows half-open, letting in the river breeze carrying moisture.
Li Yunrui sat in the main seat.
Today she wore a dark palace dress made of soft satin that clung to her body, outlining her voluptuous waistline.
Her hair was neatly styled and adorned with a jade hairpin, which made her face appear even whiter and more delicate.
She was holding a cup of fruit tea and slowly blowing on it to warm it up.
Hearing footsteps, she looked up.
His gaze lingered on Wu Feng for a moment before shifting to Jiang Fuhai's face.
Gentle and calm.
Jiang Fuhai walked into the hall, bowed, and his armor made a slight metallic scraping sound.
"This humble general pays his respects to Your Highness the Eldest Princess."
Li Yunrui put down his teacup and said in a gentle voice, "Governor Jiang, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat."
"This humble general dares not; this humble general will remain standing."
Jiang Fuhai did not sit down.
He stood in the hall with his hands at his sides, his head slightly lowered, his posture very humble.
Li Yunrui didn't force him.
She picked up her teacup and took another sip, but her gaze went over the rim of the cup and landed on Wu Feng.
Just one glance.
But a hint of almost pathological madness flashed in those alluring eyes for a moment.
Kneel down —
Two words were enough to make a ninth-rank official, three eighth-rank officials, and a battalion commander kneel on the ground.
How domineering!
Unfortunately, she didn't get to see it with her own eyes.
Just hearing Chunmei recount it made my heart ache with the vivid imagery.
In a little while—I have to make this little man perform for her again.
Wu Feng felt that gaze.
He turned his head and met Li Yunrui's gaze.
Those eyes were wet, and deep within them burned an uncontrollable heat, like flames flickering.
What did he do to offend this crazy woman?
Wu Feng suppressed his doubts and walked straight behind Li Yunrui, carrying his embroidered spring knife.
Li Yunrui withdrew her gaze and turned to Jiang Fuhai. Her voice was gentle: "Governor Jiang wishes to see me. Is there something you need? Or perhaps—Governor Jiang has ascertained the identities of those assassins?"
Jiang Fuhai cupped his hands again, his face showing shame.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, but I have not yet been able to ascertain the specific identities of these people."
"But judging from the characteristics of some of these assassins, some of them should be military personnel."
The words fell.
Li Yunrui's eyes turned cold.
That gentle demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by an imposing aura that made people afraid to look directly at her.
After a few breaths, she slowly spoke, her voice still gentle, yet tinged with coldness.
"So, what brings Governor Jiang to my palace today?"
Jiang Fuhai gritted his teeth and knelt down straight.
"Your Highness, please help the Jiangnan navy."
"It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, but I know that once I'm caught doing something wrong, the court will definitely use this opportunity to dismantle and reorganize the Jiangnan Navy."
Li Yunrui's gaze sharpened.
She looked down at Jiang Fuhai, who was kneeling on the ground, her tone even colder.
"Governor Jiang, are you implying that you intend to amass military power and become independent?"
"This humble general dares not!"
Jiang Fuhai immediately denied it.
"Your Highness, the Jiangnan Navy has no intention of hoarding military power."
"However, since Miss Ye passed away, pirates along the southeast coast have become increasingly rampant, and neighboring countries have also been provoking and harassing our Qing Kingdom's waters from time to time."
"If the Jiangnan Navy is split up and reorganized at this time, its combat power will inevitably be weakened."
"The people along the southeast coast will suffer again then."
He placed his hands on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
"Your Highness, please help the Jiangnan Navy for the sake of the people."
"If Your Highness is willing to help, this humble general is willing to do anything for Your Highness."
Li Yunrui did not respond.
She gently stroked the rim of the cup with her fingers, her eyes calmly fixed on Jiang Fuhai kneeling on the ground.
My mind raced.
She needs to carefully consider whether it's worth helping or not.
At this time.
Wu Feng spoke up.
"Governor Jiang might as well go back first."
"Your Highness needs to consider this matter. After all, the Jiangnan Navy is too involved."
Jiang Fuhai did not respond immediately.
He looked up and subconsciously glanced at Li Yunrui.
Li Yunrui continued to hold her teacup, without refuting Wu Feng's words.
Jiang Fuhai was startled.
Wu Feng—he can actually make decisions for Her Highness the Eldest Princess?
But he immediately recalled the scene that had just unfolded in the courtyard.
That terrifying pressure, that aura of life and death.
It seems only natural that he could make decisions for Her Highness the Eldest Princess.
"In that case, I shall take my leave."
Jiang Fuhai stood up and bowed to Li Yunrui again.
He turned and left.
However, his back view seemed more somber than when he arrived.
Wu Feng watched his figure disappear outside the courtyard gate and said softly.
"He's a decent person."
Li Yunrui's mind was clearly not on this matter.
She put down her teacup, slowly stood up, and the hem of her dark skirt brushed against the chair.
Her voice was gentle and melodious.
"Let's go, I'm hungry. Have a meal with me first."
Wu Feng nodded, switched the Embroidered Spring Blade to his left hand, and gently supported her arm with his right hand.
The two walked towards the backyard.
After lunch, Wu Feng accompanied Li Yunrui back to her room.
As soon as he entered the room, Wu Feng placed the Embroidered Spring Blade on the shelf by the door.
Before he could turn around, Li Yunrui walked up to him.
The two were very close together.
Her alluring eyes stared straight at him, the burning passion that had been suppressed for an entire afternoon almost overflowing from them.
Their faces were very close.
-
The warm breath sprayed on his face, carrying that familiar, rich, and cool fragrance that was captivating.
"Little Wuzi."
Her voice was soft and gentle, yet carried a seductive charm.
"Two words—enough to make a battalion commander, a ninth-rank official, and three peak eighth-rank officials kneel down."
"I, too, would like to experience it!"
Wu Feng looked at her; her beautiful face was flushed with an unnatural blush, and her eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement and desire.
Sickly yet captivating.
He gently shook his head.
"Your Highness, the reason I can make them kneel is because of the true energy I cultivate."
"It's even more domineering than the Overlord True Qi. That's why they had no choice but to kneel."
"You are pregnant now, and you will be injured if you directly face my true energy."
The smile on Li Yunrui's face slowly faded, and a look of disappointment flashed in her wet eyes.
"What a pity—"
"I really want to experience it!"
Wu Feng remained silent.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around her full waist, wanting to pull her closer to him.
But it was blocked by her slightly protruding belly.
He was about to speak.
Li Yunrui frowned and gently pushed him away.
Her face turned cold, but her eyes still shone with a sickly excitement, glistening with tears.
His voice trembled slightly, and there was an irrepressible excitement in it.
"Who gave you permission to touch me?"
"How dare you touch my noble body without my permission?"
"Kneel down!"
Wu Feng did not move.
He looked at her for two seconds.
Then he bent down, put one hand under her back and the other hand under her knees.
She carefully lifted the person up in a princess carry.
"How dare you!"
Li Yunrui quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice changing tone.
"Little Wu Zi, what—what do you intend to do to me?"
She tried her best to suppress her excitement; her full breasts heaved, and her breathing became rapid.
Her beautiful face was as red as a ripe fruit.
Wu Feng looked down at her.
Looking at that stunningly beautiful face, as lovely as a peach blossom, and those wet, expectant, and flustered eyes...
"Your Highness."
His voice was very soft.
"The three-month period is over, your protective vest is no longer effective—"
"ah?!"
"No—no—"
Li Yunrui's voice was soft.
"I don't want to—"
Wu Feng carried her and walked towards the bed.
Outside.
Chunmei blushed and covered her ears tightly with her hands.
