The Emperor looked at Ye Ge and then directly expressed his purpose, "Tuoba Lie has now raised an army and is preparing to attack Shangzhi City. He demands that we hand over Nan Feng within seven days, otherwise he's going to take serious action."
Ye Ge and Nan Feng were both stunned, looking at each other for a good while. Finally, Nan Feng turned to ask the Emperor, "Does Your Majesty plan to hand over Nan Feng? Sacrificing one person, Nan Feng, could assure peace for all, a perfect plan. But Nan Feng would rather die than comply."
Ye Ge stopped Nan Feng from saying more, gently pulling her behind him, then addressing the Emperor, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?"
The Emperor first looked at Nan Feng behind Ye Ge, her gaze always so cold and disdainful, causing a wave of heartache and loss in the Emperor's heart.
Once back in the Palace, she was full of hostility towards him.
