Chapter Seven: The Regent Arrives!

"Second Prince, you mustn't! Prince Zhongyi, as a pillar of the imperial court, if you continue to harm the Second Prince, how will you have the face to remain in the court?"

The guard captain standing behind Gu Beichen spoke up urgently. However, for Zhan Lingfeng, if he were the type to consider so much, he wouldn't have come here to pick a fight!

"Hmph! Trying to lecture this Prince with dogmas? You are not worthy!"

Zhan Lingfeng's eagle-like eyes narrowed coldly. As he gathered his breath into his dantian, a gale condensed in his palm, sending the guard captain flying directly away!

Zhan Xiaojiu was dumbstruck, nearly clapping her hands in applause!

Damn, this is an era where people actually have martial arts!

Gu Beichen looked back in terror at his guard captain being slammed against the wall. His brows furrowed and his eyes flickered; his hands secretly clenched into fists. Just as he was gritting his teeth, preparing to step forward and compete with Zhan Lingfeng, a sharp shout suddenly erupted from the outskirts of the training grounds, "The Regent has arrived!"

The Regent?!

Is it Dorgon?!

Bah!

Zhan Xiaojiu despised herself fiercely in her heart!

In this fictional dynasty, where would a Dorgon come from!

The problem was, why wasn't this Regent staying in the imperial palace, but instead coming to the Second Prince's manor for a visit?!

Zhan Xiaojiu looked curiously toward the outskirts of the training grounds, while Zhan Lingfeng's rugged face also took on a look of difficulty at this moment!

As four palace attendants carrying palm-leaf fans cleared the way, Zhan Xiaojiu's curious eyes saw a man approaching ahead as if treading upon clouds!

She had never imagined that there could actually be someone in this world with a face so beautiful!

From the moment the Regent appeared, Zhan Xiaojiu felt a sense of difficulty breathing!

This man's beauty was too flamboyant, yet it did not lose its elegance!

He wore a robe of soft smoke-colored bamboo silk; his figure was tall and straight, and his long legs moved gracefully as his hem fluttered with every step!

He possessed a pair of black, obsidian eyes that seemed capable of piercing through one's heart, the corners of his eyes slightly upturned, carrying a natural, soul-snatching charm!

His eyebrows were sharp yet distinct like feathers, his eyes were like the bright moon, his nose bridge was as straight as a mountain ridge, and his lips were a faint crimson, like the light touch of begonia petals. Even his jawline was perfect, like a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship.

Zhan Xiaojiu felt that the appearance of this man almost eclipsed all the brilliance of heaven and earth!

His movements were as fluid as water, yet they clearly brought a powerful sense of oppression!

"Miss, tha-tha-that... is the Regent, oh my god..."

Hua Ying, her face flushed with infatuation, whispered in Zhan Xiaojiu's ear as she watched the man strolling toward them!

This man could be described as beautiful, but he could also be described as dangerous!

At the precise moment she made eye contact with the Regent, she clearly sensed the calculation in the depths of his eyes!

However, she unexpectedly found that upon seeing her current state, he showed no sign of mockery or ridicule!

"Greetings to the Regent!"

By the time Zhan Xiaojiu snapped back to her senses, a greeting that shook the heavens erupted from the training grounds!

This startled her slightly!

As she turned her head, she unexpectedly discovered that even her cheap father was kneeling on one knee!

Only she stood tall like a willow, calm and composed!

She was screwed!

Sure enough, the little eunuch clearing the way ahead flicked his prayer beads and barked angrily at Xiaojiu with a raised finger: "Who are you? How dare you not kneel upon seeing the Regent?"

"Qingkong, it is fine!" Suddenly, he spoke!

That voice was as intoxicating as fine wine, deep and melodious, carrying a refreshing coolness!

"This subject's daughter, the daughter of Prince Zhongyi, did not intend to offend. Please, Regent, forgive her!"
