Bai Feiyue was not in the mood to sleep at all. The soldiers were drinking and guessing by the river side, surrounded by a bonfire, eating extremely coarse rations. This time, they were going to provide relief, so who would dare to show off their strength in front of others?

The moonlight tonight was extremely clear, like fine white jade. The milky white radiance covered every inch of the night, and Bai Feiyue was enveloped within it. Her long hair that reached her knees was dancing in the wind, as if she was in a dream.

Xu Yan could only take a glance, but his gaze could no longer shift away.

Wei Guoliang pushed him and reminded him, "This Fu Zimai is very beautiful, but he's the person the Prince wants. Don't think that you're lacking."

Xu Yanshi chuckled. His usual scholarly appearance was long gone. "The prince wanted her dead, but he didn't say what he couldn't do before she died." It would be hard to find a second person in the entire world that could compare to her, it would be such a pity to kill her without doing anything.

Wei Guo's eyes were filled with disdain as he said, "This place is quite close to the capital. The king has ordered us to fight in the city. Before that, you'd better behave."

Returning Fragrance City was located in the middle point between Jiangnan and Bianjing, and was also the most popular place in the Western Kingdom for trading human flesh. Because it was almost in the middle point of the Western Yuan Kingdom, it had a huge geographical advantage, and was equivalent to a concentrated training camp for the maidservants' steward's office. After training, the people here would be sent to all over the country, and every year, there would be Gongji, maidservants' competitions, servants' competitions, and accounts competitions.

Bai Feiyue naturally knew this as well. She even knew that Yu QianXun would choose to make a move on her there, because there were many different kinds of people in the city. Furthermore, there was some distance between the city and the Southern River. "Back then, the steward of the Seven Stars Pavilion came from the Hidden Fragrance City. His skill at striking the abacus was just like a stone ball. It was simply amazing, but …

On the day they arrived at the Returning Fragrance City, the sky was bright and clear. It was a rare good weather, and the spring sun was not hot at all. It was warm and comfortable, causing one to feel slightly tired.

Due to the intermittent drizzle that had fallen for several days in succession, this rare sunrise made the soldiers all feel extremely happy. The large group encamped outside the city, led by Wei Guo, while Bai Feiyue followed Xu Yanshi into the city, temporarily staying at the County Magistrate's Office in Returning Fragrance City.

The day before they arrived, the County Magistrate of Fragrance City had heard from somewhere that the Empress was about to pass through here. He had sent a special letter stating that the Gemini Competition would be held the next day, and that he wanted to invite the Empress to visit Fragrant Storey City and earn some reputation for it.

At that time, Bai Feiyue rejected him bluntly, "This trip was to relieve the disaster. It's already been half a month and I still don't know if the people in the disaster area are alive or not. Why would I even be in the mood to watch the Muse Competition?"

Xu Yanshi's face did not look too good, but he still patiently said, "Niangniang City is one of the economic hubs of our country. Niangniang, Huoxiang City is one of the economic hubs of our country, this year's Jiangnan harvest is difficult, and the entire Jiangnan economy is depressed.

If the news of the Queen of Healing was released, it would definitely have a butterfly effect. The commoners in the surrounding cities would then gather back at Fragrant City, and the chips for the Muse Competition in the underground gambling den would rise to a whole new level.

Bai Feiyue seemed to ponder deeply for a while, before nodding his head heavily. "Fine then. Since I can share the nation's worries, I naturally look forward to it."

Hearing this, Xu Yanshi was overjoyed and left. Naturally, he could not see the cold, frosty smile that appeared on Bai Feiyue's lips the moment he turned around.

Yu QianXun, let me see what other methods you have to kill me again.
