On the evening of the seventh day, she went to ask Luo Bingbing, who understood the conflict in her heart. Luo Bingbing pointed out the fact that she liked Yelü Qi and expressed her hope that she could find a good home.
After hearing this, Mink decided to marry Yelü Qi and stay in the Mohan Kingdom.
Luo Bingbing said this because she knew that as long as she gathered all seven Spirit Orbs, she would leave this ancient time and return to her familiar Twenty-First Century.
Then, Luo Bingbing sent someone to invite Yelü Qi and Yelü Yan over.
The person first looked for Yelü Yan but couldn't find him, so he went to find Yelü Qi. However, upon arriving at Yelü Qi's palace, he saw Yelü Qi drinking, and their emperor Yelü Yan was also sitting there drinking.
At that moment, Yelü Qi thought he had lost his chance and was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, while his older brother Yelü Yan naturally accompanied him.
When the eunuch informed the two brothers that Luo Bingbing wanted them to come over, both were taken aback.
Yelü Qi thought it was specifically for him to say goodbye to Mink, while the calmer Yelü Yan didn't quite think so either; he was unsure of what Luo Bingbing was up to.
Nevertheless, the brothers went to the Palace to see Luo Bingbing.
Upon their arrival, Luo Bingbing directly told them that Mink had agreed to marry Yelü Qi and stay in the Mohan Kingdom.
Yelü Qi was very surprised upon hearing this; however, his surprise lasted only a moment before he joyfully ran over to Mink to ask her.
"Is it true? Mink, do you really want to marry me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bingbing said to him, "Yelü Qi, do you think a girl can answer you in front of so many people?"
"Yes, yes, it was my mistake." After saying this, he immediately turned to Mink and said, "Mink, shall we take a walk in the courtyard?"
Upon hearing his words, Mink looked up at him and then glanced at Luo Bingbing beside her. After that, she nodded in agreement.
Once the two of them left, Yelv Yan couldn't help but ask Luo Bingbing, "Princess! You really are impressive! With just one sentence, you made Mink agree to marry Qi."
"Don't start with that. It's easy to see things from the outside; I don't believe you didn't notice anything."
"Haha, nothing escapes your eyes! So let's talk about their wedding plans now?"
After a slight nod, Luo Bingbing said, "Yes, but I can't stay here for long, so please arrange the wedding day within the next few days."
"In that case, let's set it for three days from now?"
"That works. You can handle the specifics, but there's one thing you must announce to the world: I want everyone to know that the princess marrying Yelv Qi is my sister-in-law, not some maidservant."
Hearing her words, Yelv Yan couldn't help but smile lightly. He said, "You want to elevate her status? What? Are you afraid we'll bully her?"
"That’s not certain; people's hearts are hard to read."
"My dear aunt! She is your person! Who would dare bully her?"
"With that said, I feel reassured. However, if anything happens to her in Mohan Kingdom, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The wedding day was set for three days later. When Dongfang Hao learned of this news, he smiled slightly but said nothing. In contrast, Murong Shang was even more delighted upon hearing it.
A couple of days ago, upon learning that Luo Bingbing was in the Mohan Kingdom, he set off for the Mohan Kingdom, accompanied by the princess of Haotian, Ouyang Yunxi.
After discovering that the Silver Moon Kingdom had destroyed her country and killed her relatives, Ouyang Yunxi persistently begged Murong Shang to help her seek revenge.
However, Murong Shang was quite cunning and always avoided her, claiming that the timing was not right.
Now that he knew Luo Bingbing was in the Mohan Kingdom, he deceived Ouyang Yunxi into thinking he would take her to exact revenge, while secretly planning to hand her over to Luo Bingbing to gain his favor and an opportunity for interaction.
Neither Luo Bingbing nor Dongfang Hao were aware that there was still a loose end from Haotian Kingdom, for two reasons.
First, when they annihilated Qingcheng, they did not carefully account for the number of people from the Ouyang Family. Second, Murong Shang had blocked all news about Ouyang Yunxi in Golden Sun.
While the Silver Moon Kingdom was at war with Haotian Kingdom, Murong Shang was plotting a grand conspiracy. Now that he knew Luo Bingbing would be staying in the Mohan Kingdom for a few more days, he felt even happier.
The longer Luo Bingbing stayed in the Mohan Kingdom, the more advantageous it was for him, giving him ample time to arrange everything.
Years ago, he had begun cultivating flowers and plants capable of creating illusions, and now only one pot of flowers showed no signs of blooming.
Seeing that the Silver Moon Kingdom was not only engaged in war with Haotian Kingdom but also rebuilding its palace, he believed that the treasury of Silver Moon Kingdom must be depleted. If he instigated a war now, Silver Moon Kingdom would surely lack the capacity to fight.
Thus, he felt it was a good opportunity to seize Luo Bingbing.
Upon learning that Luo Bingbing was currently in the Mohan Kingdom, he planned to take action there. If Luo Bingbing were to disappear from the Mohan Kingdom, Dongfang Hao would definitely demand answers from Yelv Yan. Since Yelv Yan would be unable to provide them, a conflict between the two nations would ensue, allowing him to reap the benefits.
However, he still had one pot of flowers that showed no signs of blooming. To ensure that this pot could blossom in the coming days and make his plan successful, he activated the forbidden Illusion technique of their Murong Family.
In the past two days, he had someone killed every hour, taking the heart's blood of each strong man to nourish the flower in the pot.
Hard work pays off; with the infusion of heart's blood, the flower began to show signs of blooming after just two days.
As the flower was about to bloom on schedule, he ceased using the heart's blood of strong men for its nourishment.
Three days later, they arrived at the capital of the Mohan Kingdom—Mo City. Since they arrived early, the streets of Mo City were still nearly empty.
They went directly into a manor and did not leave until Yelü Qi's wedding procession appeared on the street, at which point they made their way to a nearby tavern.
Yelü Qi originally resided in the palace, but due to his upcoming marriage, Yelü Yan granted him a title and a residence.
However, his mansion had not yet begun construction, so Yelü Yan offered him one of his own palaces as a temporary residence. Mink's family was located in the Silver Moon Kingdom, which was quite far away, so Luo Bingbing found a manor under the Tiger Legion within Mo City for Mink to depart from.
As Mink married Yelü Qi, Luo Bingbing and Yelü Yan naturally served as witnesses and were required to be present.
Just as Luo Bingbing and Shadowless arrived at Yelü Qi's mansion entrance and were about to enter, they were bumped into by a passerby who hurriedly approached from the side.
The person who collided with Luo Bingbing quickly apologized several times before leaving, but before departing, he discreetly slipped a note into her sleeve.
The guards outside Yelü Qi's mansion were all palace guards who had seen Luo Bingbing and Shadowless before. Upon seeing Luo Bingbing, they immediately knelt down to pay their respects and did not notice that someone had intentionally bumped into her.
It wasn't until they heard the words "I'm sorry" that they quietly looked up to glance at Luo Bingbing.
Luo Bingbing naturally noticed the person's small action. After brushing off her sleeve, she discreetly took out the note to read it.
As soon as it was opened, it revealed a message that read, "Luo, I am waiting for you in the Heavenly Private Room of Rongle Teahouse. Do you dare to come?" The signature below was Ouyang Yunxi.
Upon seeing the signature of Ouyang Yunxi, Luo Bingbing recalled the Haotian Royal Family and realized there was one more person she had overlooked.
Since the other party had already revealed their name, how could she not show up? However, Luo Bingbing guessed that since Ouyang Yunxi dared to appear, it meant Murong Shang had also come to Mo City.
Looking up at the sky, she noticed it was still early. Thinking that the bridal sedan chair wouldn’t arrive so soon, she turned and headed towards Rongle Teahouse, with Shadowless naturally following closely behind.
Upon arriving at the Heavenly Private Room of Rongle Teahouse, the two entered without even knocking on the door.
As soon as they stepped inside, they saw four people present, all of whom were either familiar or had crossed paths with them before.
Unsurprisingly, the people in the private room were Murong Shang and his Personal Bodyguard, along with Ouyang Yunxi and her personal maid.
The moment Ouyang Yunxi saw Luo Bingbing, she immediately sneered at her and said, "You lowly woman from the Silver Moon Kingdom, do you remember this princess? I came specifically to seek revenge on you today."
Hearing such brazen words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smirk slightly and replied with a wicked smile, "Lowly woman, is it? Your capital has fallen, yet you still live so freely as this so-called princess!"
"You lowly woman! It is all because of you and your Silver Moon Kingdom that my country was destroyed. Today, I will avenge my father and the others."
When Luo Bingbing heard Ouyang Yunxi call her a lowly woman repeatedly, her anger surged within her; yet her smile grew increasingly radiant.
"With such a foul mouth, do you not brush your teeth every day?" Luo Bingbing said while deliberately covering her nose with her hand as if the surroundings really smelled bad.
Seeing Luo Bingbing insult her about having a foul mouth made Ouyang Yunxi furious. She pointed at Luo Bingbing and stammered, "You... you..."
Before she could begin speaking, Luo Bingbing interrupted her, saying, "What do you mean by 'you'? Do you know? I absolutely hate it when people point at me, so you've crossed a major line."
After saying this, she secretly used her Ability to immobilize Ouyang Yunxi, rendering her unable to speak or move, standing there like a wooden statue.
Then, Luo Bingbing instructed Shadowless to go teach Ouyang Yunxi a lesson, stating that if anyone tried to intervene, they should be dealt with ruthlessly.
Shadowless had long wanted to deal with Ouyang Yunxi, but without Luo Bingbing's orders, he dared not take action. Now that he had her command, he immediately sprang into action.
Ouyang Yunxi's personal maid saw Shadowless approaching her mistress and quickly stepped in front of Ouyang Yunxi, trying to prevent Shadowless from harming the princess.
However, Luo Bingbing had already stated that anyone who intervened would be dealt with ruthlessly. Therefore, when Shadowless saw the maid blocking his path, he swiftly sent her to Yama King's Hall.
Seeing that Murong Shang showed no intention of stopping her, Luo Bingbing felt puzzled and tentatively said to him, "Murong Shang, thank you for your cooperation."
"It's just a trivial matter; it’s nothing to worry about. Besides, I came to Mo City specifically to see you. Bringing Ouyang Yunxi here was also to hand her over to you personally."
Luo Bingbing had not expected such a significant response from what she thought was merely a tentative remark, leaving her quite astonished.
Ouyang Yunxi was equally shocked. Before Murong Shang arrived, he had clearly told her that he would bring her to seek revenge on Luo Bingbing. Now he was actually handing her over to her enemy; she could hardly believe what was happening.
After the surprise wore off, Luo Bingbing quickly said to Murong Shang, "Is that so? Then I really must thank you."
"No need for thanks. As long as you don't keep me at arm's length in the future, I will be satisfied."
"Guests are always welcome; I certainly won't drive you away."
"Ha ha, that's good."
Upon hearing these words, Ouyang Yunxi finally came to her senses and couldn't help but think to herself, "So I was just a pawn in his game."
The depth of love is matched only by the depth of hatred.
At this moment, Ouyang Yunxi's heart was filled with intense hatred, directed entirely at Murong Shang.
Although Murong Shang had long sensed her gaze, he paid it no mind. Soon after, Luo Bingbing mentioned that she would handle Ouyang Yunxi in a rather special way and asked him to leave.
Thus, he took his Personal Bodyguard and left the private room, allowing Luo Bingbing to take over.
However, as soon as he exited the teahouse, he immediately walked into a restaurant across the street, quickly requested a private room, and stood by the window watching the entrance of the teahouse.
His purpose was quite simple: to follow Luo Bingbing and her group once they came out and see where their forces were hidden. Yet, achieving this simple goal was not going to be easy.
Luo Bingbing knew without thinking that he would definitely be lurking nearby, so she instructed Shadowless to knock Ouyang Yunxi unconscious and then use her Ability to teleport both of them to the estate under the Tiger Legion.
When Luo Bingbing and her group arrived there, the welcoming party had already left. However, since they went directly to Luo Bingbing's independent courtyard, there were not many people around.
Afterward, Luo Bingbing secretly communicated with the person in charge of the estate using her Ability, instructing him to come to her independent courtyard immediately.
Once the person in charge arrived, Luo Bingbing ordered him to take the still unconscious Ouyang Yunxi to the dungeon and instructed him to treat Ouyang Yunxi well before sending her to Yama King's Hall for reporting.
"Yes, Master. I take my leave." With that, the person in charge promptly carried Ouyang Yunxi away from Luo Bingbing's courtyard toward the dungeon of the estate.
Luo Bingbing saw that they had already left, so she immediately used her Ability to teleport back to the vicinity of Yelü Qi's residence with Shadowless.
They directly teleported into a small alley opposite the main gate of Yelü Qi's residence, a place where few people appeared.
However, for safety's sake, she set up an invisible barrier around them before landing. After confirming that there was no one in the alley, she withdrew the invisible barrier.
Then, the two of them left the alley and headed toward the royal mansion across the street.
As soon as the guards at the door saw the two of them return, they welcomed them inside. Just as they entered, Yelü Yan immediately asked Luo Bingbing, "Why are you so slow? The bridal sedan is about to arrive."
"I got up a bit late, but the bridal sedan hasn't arrived yet!"
Before Yelü Yan could respond, the ministers in the hall knelt down to Luo Bingbing and bowed in unison.
Luo Bingbing looked at them and calmly said, "Get up! Today is Prince Qi's big day; let's skip the formalities and keep it casual."
Just after she finished speaking, a guard rushed in to report to Yelü Yan that Prince Qi and his party had returned and were at the main gate!
Upon hearing that they had returned, everyone quickly returned to their positions to wait for their entrance.
As witnesses to the marriage, Yelü Yan and Luo Bingbing naturally took their seats at the head table. After a while, they entered, followed by the words: "Bow to Heaven and Earth, bow to your parents, husband and wife bow to each other, and enter the bridal chamber."
Then Mink was sent into the bridal chamber. Yelü Qi was very excited as he lifted her veil. Although he had seen her face thousands of times before, he couldn't help but be amazed when he unveiled her.
Since Yelü Qi was the groom, he needed to go out and toast. After he toasted Luo Bingbing, she said she wanted to check on Mink and left the hall.
After entering the room, Shadowless stood guard outside, while Luo Bingbing and Mink chatted inside. Although they called it chatting, it was mostly Luo Bingbing explaining to Mink how to establish herself in the Mohan Kingdom and how to manage the Tiger Legion's influence there.
When Luo Bingbing told her that she would be leaving Mo City the next day, Mink felt very reluctant and suggested accompanying her back.
Luo Bingbing frowned slightly and said, "Mink, you are already married. There are some things you shouldn't say lightly. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my lady." As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing immediately told her, "Have you forgotten that you are now married as my sister-in-law? From now on, we will refer to each other as sisters."
"Yes..." She was about to say "my lady" but quickly remembered what Luo Bingbing had just said and closed her mouth.
Seeing her expression, Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said, "You will get used to it gradually. Alright, I will go back to rest now. If Yelv Yan and the others ask, just tell them I went back to the Palace to rest."
Once she finished speaking, she left Qi Wang Mansion with Shadowless.
After nightfall, the guests at Qi Wang Mansion began to leave one after another. Since Yelv Yan was present, most of the guests dared not drink with Yelv Qi.
Once everyone had dispersed, they realized that Luo Bingbing had already left. Seeing that it was getting late, Yelv Yan decided to find Luo Bingbing tomorrow.
Meanwhile, after Luo Bingbing quietly left Qi Wang Mansion with Shadowless, they returned directly to the Palace that Yelv Yan had arranged for them. However, shortly after returning, Murong Shang came looking for Luo Bingbing with the flowers he had specially cultivated.
It turned out that he had been waiting in a private room at the restaurant for a long time but had not seen Luo Bingbing come out, which made him start to wonder.
So he immediately sent someone to check there and found that Luo Bingbing and the others were not there at all. He then stationed someone near the entrance of the Palace where Luo Bingbing was staying.
Upon learning that Luo Bingbing had returned, he quickly brought the carefully cultivated flower pots he had prepared for her and headed to the Palace.
The doorman reported to Luo Bingbing that a young master named Murong was looking for her. She immediately guessed that it was Murong Shang, but she felt quite puzzled and couldn't understand why he had come to see her.
However, since they had just met that morning, it would be unreasonable not to see him, so Luo Bingbing had him invited in.
When Luo Bingbing saw him, she noticed he was accompanied by a group of young attendants, all carrying pots of flowers.
With just one glance, Luo Bingbing recognized that the flowers were harmless, but she was still filled with questions about Murong Shang.
While she was pondering this, Murong Shang informed her that he had specially asked an old gardener who had retired to cultivate some rare and beautiful flowers. He had chosen some to bring to her when he went to pick them up earlier.
Then, quite naturally, Murong Shang instructed the maids in the palace to carry the pots of flowers into the room where Luo Bingbing was currently staying.
However, Luo Bingbing did not speak, and the maids hesitated to move. Seeing this, Murong Shang turned to one of the little attendants and asked, "What’s wrong? Do you find these flowers unattractive?"
"Of course not! But it seems your flowers haven't bloomed yet?"
Murong Shang needed the flowers to be in bloom to use an illusion that would allow him to take Luo Bingbing away without her noticing and seal her memories. Therefore, he had calculated the blooming time precisely so that they would blossom at midnight.
After hearing the little attendant's words, Murong Shang smiled slightly and said, "They haven't bloomed yet, but look, they are about to!"
"Well then, I will accept them." After saying this, Luo Bingbing turned to Shadowless and said, "You decide where to place them and have someone set them there."
"Yes, my lady." Just as Shadowless lifted his foot to move, Murong Shang spoke again to Luo Bingbing: "Wait a moment. This palace belongs to Yelv Yan, and these flowers are a special gift for you from me. I think it would be better if we placed them in your room. What do you think?"
"Then let's put it in my room!" Luo Bingbing agreed to his request without a second thought.
Afterward, the maids carried the flower pot to Luo Bingbing's room. However, Murong Shang reminded them to place the flowers on the windowsill, as the blossoms would bloom more brilliantly and beautifully after absorbing sunlight and rain.
Murong Shang stayed in the Palace for a while before leaving, informing Luo Bingbing that he had to return to the Golden Sun Kingdom to handle some urgent matters.
In the deep of night, with stars twinkling and silence enveloping everything.
Inside the room, Little One had already fallen into a sweet dream, while the flowers on the windowsill quietly bloomed, unnoticed by the sleeping Little One.
