Chapter 1630: Chapter 1622:

The Empress Feng almost lost her temper.

She became furious, looking toward the wall. She saw a woman in a flamboyant red dress, with an alluring and captivating demeanor—a stunning beauty indeed.

Who is she?

The Empress Feng’s eyes suddenly changed.

She prides herself on being unparalleled in beauty, not only in Longteng but also in the Eastern Continent.

Yet compared to the woman before her, she seemed like a rose next to a peony, instantly losing some of her confidence.

The woman glanced disdainfully at the few arrogant nannies.

She raised her hand, and swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, the nannies cried out miserably.

Their wrists suddenly bore scar marks.

Looking down, there were scattered leaves on the floor.

The leaves were ordinary tree leaves, yet at that moment, they were incredibly sharp.

What skill to pluck leaves in a flower-picking style!

The nannies were immediately terrified, their faces pale, not daring to move, and hurriedly released Shi Fei.

Shi Fei’s face was pale.

A pair of hands helped her up.

"Fear not, I have returned."

The woman lowered her voice, whispering in Shi Fei’s ear.

Shi Fei looked at the woman, her eyes full of disbelief; the person before her was Xin Lin.

Xin Lin was concerned about her friends and family in Purple Cloud City, rushing there as quickly as possible.

She had just returned to Purple Cloud City, and immediately went to Taichang Temple to visit Shi Fei.

Outside Taichang Temple was heavily guarded, filled with chariots from the Imperial Palace, and Xin Lin knew something was amiss.

She followed her old routine, entered unnoticed, and witnessed the Empress Feng bullying Shi Fei.

She was very angry but knew that now was not the time to act against the Empress Feng.

After all, the Empress Feng was the empress of Longteng.

She thought for a moment, came up with a plan, took out a Qi Stone, absorbed the spiritual energy, and transformed into the alluring and charming Lord Dominator.

The Empress Feng felt displeased upon seeing the woman’s appearance.

With a single look, the Imperial Army clattered in response, surrounding them.

In an instant, Taichang Temple was filled with glints of blades and swords.

"Bold, you dare not pay respects upon seeing me!"

The Empress Feng rebuked.

"Pay respects? You are unworthy of my courtesy."

Xin Lin smirked, her beautiful eyes full of disdain.

"I am the Empress of Longteng; the people of Longteng must pay respects upon seeing me."

The Empress Feng declared proudly.

"That’s a reasonable statement, but unfortunately, I am not a Longteng person. I am from Fuzhou, and in Fuzhou, even when meeting the Fuzhou Emperor, I don’t necessarily have to kneel, let alone you—a mere Empress of Longteng. If I’m not mistaken, you, as the Empress, must perform the rites of three kneelings and nine kowtows to your sovereign when meeting the Fuzhou Emperor."

Xin Lin chuckled, half serious and half joking.

She was speaking the absolute truth.

The Fuzhou Emperor was her second brother; in front of him, she never performed false ceremonies.

The Empress Feng’s face changed.

The woman before her had a deep connection with the Fuzhou Emperor.

Recently, Fuzhou had undergone changes, and a new young Fuzhou Emperor ascended the throne. It’s said he’s so young he doesn’t even have an empress or concubines in the harem.

Although the woman before her was beautiful, what relationship could she possibly have with the Fuzhou Emperor?

The Empress Feng pondered for a moment.

"You say you know the Fuzhou Emperor; what evidence do you have?"

Empress Feng’s words were full of disbelief.

Xin Lin suddenly produced an imperial decree.

Conjuring objects out of thin air alone left the Empress Feng astonished.

"By the decree of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: My sister, Lord Dominator, is commanded by me to go to Longteng on official business. When you see the imperial decree, it is as if seeing me. Thus ordered."

The imperial decree was impressively stamped with the Jade Seal of the Fuzhou Emperor.
