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 241 Graceful

Cuiyu Traveling Palace.

The banquet was set in the Grand Hall. Li Sangruo sat at the head of the table. Ministers from Central Capital along with local officials of Xinzhou knelt on both sides according to their official ranks, each exchanging courtesies and stating their affairs.

Having been invited by the Empress Dowager, the ministers had all bathed and changed their clothes, arriving early, not daring to keep the Empress Dowager waiting...

However, there were two places to the left and below the Empress Dowager that remained empty—the time had come, and the occupants had not arrived.

One was General Pei, and the other was the Crown Prince of Yunchuan.

Chunyu Yan was of a stubborn and unruly character, always doing as he pleased, while Pei Jue had significant merit overshadowing his sovereign and had been increasingly at odds with the Imperial Court. That day at the docks, he even publicly disrespected the Empress Dowager...

This behavior was indeed worth investigating.
