Chapter 27: Elder Princess Lays Her Cards

Pingxi Prince's Mansion.

Yang Jun now has a headache.

Yun Fengyun this old emperor now appears, will absolutely not let himself off easily.

Although the current Pingxi Prince's Mansion lacks the previous tension, it still carries an invisible tense atmosphere, as if a storm is about to come.

Yun Fengyue clearly wants me to take the blame, and won't allow questioning.

What I should think about now is to try various methods to see if I can solve these problems in time.

When Yang Jun was feeling extremely troubled about this, Deng Jian walked to the door and knocked lightly.

"Heir Apparent, a guest has arrived."

Deng Jian led the person to the main hall's entrance, then turned and left.

The visitor was Yu Xiaofeng, and behind her followed a woman wearing a purple dress and a veil.

The purple dress fits her body tightly, perfectly wrapping her, revealing her curvaceous figure, absolutely exquisite.

Yang Jun was slightly stunned, then stepped closer.

As he approached, he caught a refreshing fragrance emanating from the woman.

This scent is different from Yu Xiaofeng's body odor, richer and more alluring.

This is unlike Xiaofeng; Xiaofeng is a maiden, but this is a married woman!

【Fragrant, fragrant! In youth I didn't know the goodness of a young wife, mistaking a maiden for treasure; this young wife is truly top-notch!】

Yang Jun felt moved, and kept considering what manner he should use to step forward and greet.

"Yang Jun, how come you don't recognize This Palace?"

Hearing Yang Jun's voice, Yun Fengyue tightened the veil on her head, asking him in a coquettish voice.

While speaking, she gave a brilliant smile.

On that exquisite and beautiful face, a hint of purity and softness appeared, revealing even more alluring charm amidst her nobility.

"Well done, Yun Fengyue, your actions like this are practically inviting people to commit crimes!"

【So it's her? Well done, Elder Princess, not enjoying blessings in the palace but coming to my place to cause trouble?】

【Besides, she's truly beautiful; look at this light makeup, heavy colors—everything suits perfectly, truly just right.】

Yang Jun glanced lustfully at Yun Fengyue twice, then subconsciously performed a salute to show his welcome.

"So it's the Elder Princess gracing us with her presence; I thought a celestial maiden had lost her way and ended up at my home."

Yang Jun laughed a remark; at this moment Yun Fengyue also wore a charming smile, raising her hand to cover her cheek, a picture of boundless beauty.

"I just have a sweet tongue."

Yun Fengyue was still immersed in Yang Jun's feelings, happily there, never expecting to hear him speak like that again.

For a moment, she became even more delighted, as if flowers bloomed.

But looking at Yang Jun before her, her smile carried a hint of contemplation.

"Alas, if the former Prince Pingxi could speak as well as you, with such a sweet tongue, things wouldn't have come to this."

Yun Fengyue said this and promptly closed her mouth.

Yang Jun was somewhat surprised, lifting his head to look at Yun Fengyue.

But just as he hadn't yet had time to think about this, Yun Fengyue spoke again.

"Yang Jun, I came this time for the case of Sang Jieyiyi killing Yu Xiaofeng's family."

The Elder Princess spoke in a solemn voice, with a serious expression.

Yang Jun raised his head and sized up Yun Fengyue before him.

"The Sang Jieyiyi murder case, This Palace also understands the full background."

"Although it appears Sang Jieyiyi is responsible, This Palace also realizes there are too many suspicious points."

"Rest assured, This Palace still trusts you."

Yun Fengyue spoke with a firm expression, Yang Jun was slightly stunned.

【No way, how could this woman trust me like this? Could it be that merely my handsomeness makes her unable to resist choosing to trust me?】

Yang Jun smiled faintly; this possibility would explain it clearly.

Yun Fengyue glanced at Yang Jun and gave him a white-eye look.

"Yang Jun, let's get back to the point."

"This Palace trusts you, but since His Majesty has issued an edict setting a three‑day limit, it means we must resolve this within three days."

"Yang Jun, go ahead and act with confidence; if you need anything, you can come to This Palace."

"Putting else aside, at least thirty percent of officials in the court still owe favors to This Palace."

"Wherever it can be used, speak up; This Palace's influence still works."

Yun Fengyue spoke again, repeatedly.

In her words, the woman lightly waved her right hand, and an invisible aura emanated.

Since Yang Jun knows his own hidden strength, there's no need to conceal it, nor to pretend or hide.

Upon hearing these words, Yang Jun was instead stunned.

Such a situation, such a problem, still shocks him somewhat.

Has this woman dropped the act? Laid her cards on the table? To dare speak so bluntly about these matters?

Could it be that she isn't worried about going to Yun Fengyun to report on these matters?

【No, this matter still needs to be handled carefully.】

【Yun Fengyue is a double‑edged sword; although she herself possesses great strength, to make use of her power we must consider carefully.】

【No matter how beautiful she is, borrowing this power is not that simple and carefree.】

Yang Jun thought about these things in his heart, straightened his body, and respectfully bowed to Yun Fengyue.

"Yang Jun thanked the Elder Princess for her kindness; this matter, if this kid has need, will certainly trouble the Elder Princess."

Upon Yang Jun's words, Yun Fengyue felt no slight annoyance at being refused; instead she gave a faint smile.

Because in her view, Yang Jun chose to act this way because he wants to be independent, wants to rely on his own strength to settle these matters.

"Looks like Prince Pingxi has raised a fine son."

Yun Fengyue nodded lightly, her face full of smiles, brimming with appreciation.

Seeing that Yun Fengyue had been persuaded by him, Yang Jun stopped pressing himself and let out a sigh of relief.

But upon raising his head, he saw Yu Xiaofeng with a sorrowful face, her eyes red and swollen, still filled with mist.

"Xiaofeng, come with me!"

Yang Jun's heart stirred, he took Yu Xiaofeng's hand and walked out.

Yun Fengyue was stunned; could it be that this kid fears me, but instead likes someone like Xiaofeng?

Thinking about it, she also looked curious, then stepped forward and followed.

Wanting to see, what exactly is Yang Jun going to do?

Yang Jun directly brought Yu Xiaofeng into the dungeon; at this moment, Sang Jie Guiyi was still tightly bound, maintaining that humiliating posture.

Yu Xiaofeng, seeing this scene, was again stunned, she raised her head to look at Yang Jun.

Yun Fengyue followed behind, also looking curious.
