Flashes of lightnings suddenly emerged from the void, the void was spasming, contracting and widening as if there were two forces battling to open or to close the void.

At that moment the whole Zhou County was devoid of people long ago....

Xue Yufei looked at the flushed face of the man, his orbs flashing boundless gloomy light.

"Who are you?"

-

Humming, a graceful man at his 30s teased a cat nestled in his arms. There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your majesty, emperor consort, the one at the Bright Moon Palace must be ecstatic by now. It really made Yao'er felt indignant in behalf of your majesty."

The graceful man merely smiled a little wider, adding a hint of benevolence on his aura. "Yao'er is really bold."

A beautiful young man suddenly clinged at the arm of the graceful man. "Your majesty, that so called destined one was coming. Yao'er wants to see her. Yao'er wants her."

The Emperor Consort flicked his forehead full of affection, his eyes overflowing a hint of doting. "Bold! How dare you covet his imperial highness' wife." He reprimanded but his eyes revealed no blame.

"Your majesty". The young man whined in a spoiled manner causing the emperor to soften his heart.

He suddenly sneered at the certain direction, at the direction of the Bright Moon Palace- where the father of Feng Yunruo, Imperial Noble Consort Han is situated.

"You're right. Rou'er is not the only prince of our Great YinYue. I must ask her Majesty to let you accompany Rou'er. You can take good care of him the whole way."

The beautiful young man laughed meaningfully. "Yao'er will certainly not disappoint his uncle."

....

Feng Yunruo looked at the busy figures of his manservants. His eyes deep and distracted. He was laying in his consort chair.

Meng Qing hesitantly walked a little closer to his master. "Your highness..."

Feng Yunruo looked at his personal attendant expressionlessly, his face devoid of his everyday smiling expression causing Meng Qing's heart to skip a beat out of fear.

His highness seems to be displeased.

Was it because of the future princess consort? Meng Qing didn't dare think further.

"En?"

Meng Qing is hesitant but he still blurted out his report, "Prince Yao was given a permission with her majesty's decree to accompany you to your highness' trip to Zhou County."

Feng Yunruo smiled deeper. His eyes showing a meaningful look with a hint of amusement.

"What could be a Wang (prince) of a Grand Princess (sister of the Empress) reason to accompany this Prince in retrieving this Prince's wife?"

He carelessly said with a lazy smile. He twirled the tea cup in his orchid fingers.

Meng Qing could hear the underlying threat, he lowered his head and didn't answer.

That Prince Yao was really courageous! How dare he think about his highness' wife lord!

Meng Qing could only pray that Prince Yao's corpse remained intact due to his daring.

This days, the eldest prince's temper was becoming more and more dangerously unpredictable.

Feng Yunruo looked at Meng Qing's trembling form and chuckles in amusement. He didn't need a personal attendant to fear him so greatly as it may cause him setbacks later on, he waved his fair hand.

"Go and get this Prince's favorite ruyi hairpin. It will be your reward for your loyalty."

Meng Qing immediately understood. He kowtowed in thanks and withdrew.

Feng Yunruo took a sip, his eyelashes hanging low, causing a shadow on his immaculate cheeks.

The travel to the Zhou County from the Capital, was at most one week. Due to her majesty's fear, of someone grabbing her son's fate, she decreed that everyone from the site near the void must be evacuated. Spreading rumors that a messenger of Queen Yama [King Yama lol] might be the one arriving and take the souls of those living near the void for a great sacrifice. Out of fear, not only those people near the void evacuated, but almost the entire county seek refuge near the surrounding counties.

It was a much of a relief of her Majesty. She immediately let the procession of his son, and dressed his son in a bridal clothes to as soon as possible, start the travel to the Zhou County. The Empress needed a reassurance that there will be no foxes (sl*ts) to kidnap her future daughter-in-law, so she immediately set their wedding the day Feng Yunruo arrived at the place.

Unexpectedly, the whole Empire was in an uproar to hear that their beloved prince was going to marry to the Zhou County. As for the Empress' chosen daughter-in-law, it was revealed that she was marrying her prince from someone behind the void.

Hearing the rumors of the reason why the Zhou County almost became a big ghost town, it was said that the prince was in truth, a sacrificial groom so that the whole Empire will be spared by the heavens.

The whole Empire mourned for the prince. Unexpectedly, his royal highness, the eldest prince gained a boost to his reputation and given the title of a holy father.

The author have something to say:

Feng Yunruo: You've got nothing to say? Do you know your wrong? (FYR overturned a huge vinegar jar that night.)

Xue Yufei: "....." I really don't know! Wha- hey! Whose the dominant one!

....

Feng Yunruo: So many chapters and my wife is yet to appear. Where is my wife?

Author: I still want to drag the time you will meet her. (Oh, I'm jealous so I don't want to see the two of you, a pair of dogmen, spreading dogfood everyday)

- Feng Yunruo delivered a knife to the author -
