Chapter 68 Jealous?

ike that, would you King Wuxuan of Nan Yue is a figure known throughout the continent. He is the undefeated god of war on the battlefield. Do you really think that a few stand-ins will truly be able t..."Alright, it's come to this. I guess I have no choice but to bite the bullet and get this done." Xiao Chenghe waved his hand and finally let out a long sigh.

Ambition, as a man, Xiao Chenghe would naturally have it. It's just that he was too worried and couldn't make up his mind. In that case, let Xiao Changyue make the decision for him.

The gate of the Wuxuan Prince's Mansion was much more lively than usual due to the arrival of the imperial proclamation team. The street in front of the gate was already crowded with onlookers. The eunuch delivering the proclamation, supported by a junior eunuch, dismounted his horse. The mansion gate opened quickly, and immediately a steward came out to greet him.

The old eunuch was led all the way to the main hall of the prince's mansion. Upon seeing the man in a dark brocade robe seated on the main seat, he immediately bowed, "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness! I'm here to bring you good news."

"Hmm." Fu Zimu replied nonchalantly, then instructed the butler, "Serve tea and show them to a seat."

The steward quickly left, and the old eunuch stepped forward with a gleeful smile, raising the imperial edict in his hand and began to read. As soon as he started reading the edict, all the guards and servants in the Prince's mansion knelt down, except for Fu Zimo who remained lazily seated.

This was also a privilege that the emperor had once granted him, and under heaven, only he could receive an imperial edict without kneeling.

The old eunuch read for a long while. It was nothing more than that Prince Wu Xuan was brave and capable, the pillar of the country, and he had reached marriageable age. The Wu Xuan王府 couldn't be without a princess. Besides, the young lady Xiao Changyue, with her virtuous character and intelligence both inside and out, was also a county princess bestowed by the Emperor. She was a suitable candidate for the princess position, so this marriage was arranged specifically.

After the old eunuch finished reading, Fu Zi Mo lazily yawned and stood up. He casually took the imperial edict and handed it to the steward beside him.

The steward slipped the prepared silver bills into the old eunuch's hand. After a few flattering remarks from the old eunuch, he stood up and took his leave.

By the time most people had left the hall, Fu Zimu glanced in the direction of the main entrance before asking, "Has Jinmu returned yet"

"I didn't know, I'll go check at the door immediately." The steward quickly replied, and was about to head towards the door. Who knew that after just a few steps, he saw Jin Mu leading Qin Luo Yan and Yi Sheng over, "Commander Jin Mu, His Royal Highness has been back for a while, why are you only returning now If you didn't come back any sooner, His Royal Highness would have sent someone to look for you."

The housekeeper's words made Jinkemu suspiciously raise his eyebrows. He was a fake, and seeking Qin Luoyan was true As a big man, when did the King care about whether he returned late over these years

"This isn't..." Kaneki hesitated, clearing his throat awkwardly. He didn't know how to start, but Qin Luo Yan beside him took over the conversation.

"It's not General Jin Mu's fault. I saw that the manor was receiving important guests, so I had General Jin Mu and us wait outside. We only came in after the honored guest left." Qin Luoyan explained to the housekeeper, but she didn't look at Fu Zi Mo.

Fu ZiMo heard this, but frowned, and said dismissively: "Just an old eunuch, what a distinguished guest."

Qin Luoyan didn't respond to his words, but instead bowed her body in his direction and said, "Your Highness, the slave has been out playing for a day and should go back to continue her work. I won't delay you any longer. The sooner the slave completes what Your Highness wants, the sooner Your Highness will be happy."

After finishing her speech, she turned to Yingsheng and instructed, "Yingsheng, sister has something to do. These few days, you must be diligent in the front courtyard. If you don't understand anything, go ask General Jumu for advice, okay"

Yi Sheng nodded obediently, reluctantly tugging at her sleeve.

Qin Luo'yan smiled faintly, "Sister, come see me after you finish your business, alright"

"Good!" Yisheng only then let go of her sleeve.

Qin Luoyan touched his head, no longer looking in Fu Zimu's direction. She turned and walked straight towards her small courtyard.

Her spine was ramrod straight, each step measured and steady. There seemed to be no fluctuation in her emotions, as if the recent marriage had nothing to do with her at all.

"My Lord, Miss Qin must be jealous, that's why she gave you such a cold face." Jin Mu feared Qin Luo Yan would anger Fu Zi Mo and explained for her.

"Jealous" Fu Zimu pondered these two words, remaining silent for a long time. It was unclear what he was thinking about.

The day that followed seemed as if everything had returned to normal. The manor remained unchanged from before, just like the imperial edict hadn't caused any ripples whatsoever.

Qin Luoyan locked herself in her room for several days, working day and night to create a repeating crossbow. Because she only had the blueprints, making a repeating crossbow was an extremely difficult task, even for someone as talented as she was in weapon design. This world likely only had her who could build a repeating crossbow using ordinary drawings.

And, the crossbow she crafted and the original one are definitely not the same. However, in terms of effectiveness, she was confident that it would be even more powerful and refined than the original.

For the past few days, Fu Zimu had also asked her to serve him a few times. He still hadn't had anyone bring her contraceptive tea, but Qin Luoyan wouldn't forget to make the same mistake again. Every time after, she would have someone secretly tell King Gui Momo that she needed it, and without her having to speak, Gui Momo would naturally have someone bring over the contraceptive tea, and even have someone watch her drink it down.

On this matter, she and Gui Momo reached a rare agreement, neither of them letting this matter reach Fu Zimu's ears.

After several days of snowfall, the atmosphere in Fengqi City was not subdued by the winter snow but rather became even more lively. This was because after the snow, there wasn't much time left before the New Year. All year long, many people who had been traveling far and wide looked forward to this reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve.

In less than half a month, it would be the New Year's Eve. On this day, Qin Luoyan finally opened her door and walked out. The rare warmth of the sun shone on her face, making her complexion appear even paler.

She wrapped the repeating crossbow in black cloth and headed for the main courtyard of the palace. All she hoped was that Fu Zimu would keep his promise. If she could make the repeating crossbow, he would let her and Yingsheng leave the estate.

However, she couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart. Would Fu Zimu really let her go so easily

"Miss Qin is here to find the Wangye" Jinmu, who was about to go out, saw her coming and spoke up.

Qin Luoyan nodded, "Well, the thing is done. I want to show it to the King."

"You... you did it" Kaneki stared incredulously at the object she was holding, so shocked he couldn't even speak. This thing, which multiple factions had been fighting over for years, was actually built, and not fully to spec! Was this even possible

"Yes, it's done, so I can't wait to show the King," Qin Luoyan smiled.
