The Slender Waist

The day the city fell, Feng Yun was treated by her father as a spoil of war and presented to the enemy general. Everyone pitied her, soon to be a captive, plunging into a fiery pit. Yet she veiled the little donkey cart that took her out of the city tightly, daring not to let anyone see the secret delight in her heart… As a child, she behaved oddly and spoke startling words, once predicting a war in which the whole army was wiped out, nearly being burned to death by her clan as a demon. When she grew up, her beauty was out of the world, but she was rejected by her husband's family. In the period of chaos and disorder everywhewe, where could a female captive go? "I do not seek a devoted partner to grow old with; I merely wish to rule unrivaled in this life." In her previous life, Feng Yun was always the one being scorned by others; in this life, she decided to strike first, turning the tables on each and every one of them, those so-called unreachable flowers and beasts in gentleman's clothing, those degenerates… all to be scorned in return.

Chapter 317 Turbulent Wind and Moon

The winter snow was ceaseless and the temperature continued to drop, as if the vast land had been encased in ice.

At noon, the guards of Central Capital City had just changed shifts when a rush of hurried hoofbeats raced by.

It was too cold, and the long street was nearly devoid of people. The messenger soldier cut across Copper Camel Street, heading toward the inner city.

"Report…"

"Her Highness the Empress Dowager has returned to the capital with her imperial carriage…"

"The Prince of Yonghuai has led his troops back to court…"

Li Zongxun was in the government office, discussing affairs with several officials.

They were all dressed in mourning clothes, their expressions solemn.
