Chapter 275 Covenant
The area outside the Crown Prince's residence was desolate and bleak. The two stone lions in front of the gate were dull and lifeless, and fallen leaves were scattered all over the ground.

A few children were humming a limerick not far away.

"Baby, baby, run fast! General Yama is coming! If you don't run, he'll stuff you in his belly! How terrifying, how terrifying, how terrifying!"

The carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, and Shi Nuanyu looked around.

"Letting me move directly into the Crown Prince's residence, aren't you afraid that some people will criticize you for colluding with Nan Yue?"

Yu Changfeng lifted the car curtain, helped her out of the car, and swaggered in with her.

"The king has disliked me for a long time, so this one incident won't make a difference. Today, the second prince's faction refused to let you in, trying to intimidate you and show off the royal family's authority. A bunch of black sheep, fools who are harming the foundation of the country."

If the entire faction of the Imperial Concubine were to be eradicated, how could they have survived until today?

Shi Nuanyu followed them into the mansion, where she was greeted by a solemn and grand courtyard, but the houses were not as exquisite as she had imagined.

Why are you the one who came to greet me?

It sounds like the second prince has all the advantages, and the king should be on his side.

Yu Changfeng welcomed her into the master bedroom. A Yuan, who was following behind, was about to remind him when she was stopped by the old housekeeper.

"Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. The old king is not dead, yet he covets his position. Of course, things will not go as he wishes."

Driven by greed, how could the royal family resist the allure of the throne?

Under the steward's guidance, A'Rao and her maids arranged the items neatly.

Once inside the mansion, Zhenbao couldn't wait to run around.

Shi Nuanyu sat on the stone bench, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and watched the busy maids.

"So you deliberately created discord among them and quietly assigned the task of welcoming the envoy."

The person in front of her was the number one Yama in the book. After returning from Nan Yue to Bei Lin, he seized the position of Crown Prince with swift and decisive means. She did not believe that such a powerful person would be restrained by the court.

Moreover, Yu Changfeng is not the type to sit idly by and wait for his doom. Based on the later parts of the book, he should have taken control of most of the court.

She didn't look at him again after entering the room, and Yu Changfeng, slightly annoyed, cupped her face in his hands, turning her towards him.

"I'm no longer pleasing to your eye, you won't even look at me properly?"

Stared at by those icy blue eyes, Shi Nuanyu felt inexplicably guilty and pushed his hand away to question him.

"You call me 'husband' so sweetly, but do you still have me in your heart?"

Noticing her concerns, Yu Changfeng solemnly held up three fingers.

"I swear, I will live a life filled with joy and warmth, and if I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth."

Shi Nuanyu quickly covered his mouth, "You make such a rash vow, aren't you afraid it will come true?"

After experiencing so many things, she seemed to have come to believe in fate.

"Warmly, I feel sorry for your husband," Yu Changfeng said with a smug look on his face, holding her hand and placing it on his chest. "The past is gone with the wind, I am still your husband."

Shi Nuanyu was slightly taken aback. He meant that he no longer wanted to dwell on the past and wanted to start over.

That's enough. If he's like this, it would be pretentious for me to overthink things.

She leaned closer, listening to the strong, steady heartbeat.

"Since you are my husband, you are not allowed to bully me, deceive me, or betray me from now on."

Yu Changfeng hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

"The matter of the divorce agreement still needs to be investigated. Being divorced without cause is truly unjust."

Upon hearing the words "divorce agreement," Shi Nuanyu climbed out of his arms, sat up straight, and guiltily changed the subject.

"I heard children humming a limerick along the way. What does it mean?"

Knowing she was trying to brush it off, Yu Changfeng couldn't help but stare at her with amusement, his eyes practically overflowing with laughter.

"Fine, I'm just being magnanimous. We'll settle this matter later."

Having escaped unscathed, Shi Nuanyu felt much more confident. She glared at him and urged him on, to which he understood and explained.

"A satirical poem came from the border, describing General Shan's ruthless methods, which even young children fear."

Shi Nuanyu was surprised, "General Yama actually refers to Ayu, I thought..." The person in front of her was clearly the one with the title of First Yama in the book, could she have misremembered?

She was the original Shi Nuanyu. Could it be that the book was also different? Then why were the events that happened before similar to those in the book?

Seeing her in a daze, Yu Changfeng raised his hand and waved it in front of her.

"What did you think? Did you think General Yama was referring to me?"

Yu Changfeng was unhappy that she was focusing her attention elsewhere, so he stood up, picked her up, and carried her into the bedroom.

Shi Nuanyu came to her senses and found herself in the bathroom, asking in confusion.

What are you doing?

Yu Changfeng slowly unbuckled her belt and, without changing his expression, carried her into the bath.

“Nuan Nuan has many things she doesn’t want to tell her husband,” he said, gnawing at the marks on her collarbone with resentment.

"Let's put our worries aside for now and do something fun."

Enveloped in warm bathwater and held tightly by a scalding body, Shi Nuanyu felt her whole body go numb from the heat and pulled his hair back.

"Let's talk business. You're still thinking about this..."

The rest of the words were cut off by a passionate kiss, their hot breaths mingling.

Yu Changfeng pressed her against the bathtub and kissed her, saying, "Nuan Nuan doesn't belong to me alone, and I'm truly jealous."

In a chaotic world, the future is uncertain. If it weren't for her safety, they would never let the struggle end.

If you want to have the royal family, the common people, and love, you have no choice but to compromise.

I have no choice but to keep the agreement I made with the six of them.

Mello Manor.

Seven handsome men anxiously watched over the unconscious woman on the bed, while the other six waited nervously for one of them to take her pulse.

Fusheng sat on the edge of the bed and withdrew his hand. "His pulse is steady and strong; the remaining poison has been neutralized."

While unconscious, Shi Nuanyu anxiously pulled the blanket tighter. Seeing this, Fusheng gently comforted her and took a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.

Hearing his words, the six of them breathed a sigh of relief.

She glared angrily at the culprits, "Are you happy now that you've ruined the poisonous woman like this?"

These people keep saying they love a ruthless woman, yet they use cruel methods to harm her.

Dan Baiyu glanced at him sideways, "You were involved in this too."

All of them were involved; which one of them is innocent?

Hua Lingyan knelt by the bedside, her eyes red, holding her hand tightly.

"Your Highness, do not leave A-Ling."

He didn't want many things in his life, but he didn't want to lose her.

Unable to refute without having tried, he swallowed his words in anger.

Tao Huiyan sat silently in the chair, her expression gloomy, lost in thought.

“What’s done is done, and blaming each other is useless,” Yu Changfeng said slowly. “Nuan Nuan, please reveal your identity. If you can’t accept it, you can leave.”

After these words were spoken, no one made a move.

He said sarcastically, "If no one wants to leave, they'll just keep their resentment inside."

It would be better if they all left; they're just an eyesore here.

"The alliance between Dongchen and Beilin has been successfully formed, leaving Nanyue vulnerable to attacks from both sides," said Qinghe, who was seated, glancing at them.
"If you care about Nuannuan and the people of the world, we can form an alliance. If you break the alliance one day, you will leave on your own and never appear in front of Nuannuan again."

Yu Changfeng understood immediately, “When war breaks out, the world will be in chaos and the people will suffer. Dongchen intends to start a war, and everyone knows his evil intentions.”

They knew in their hearts that the position of the ruler of the world was not one that anyone could sit on.

The silent Tao Huiyan spoke, "What do you need me to do?"
