Hai Xiangjin roared wildly.

The Crown Prince Chen killed with a cold face.

Several sharp daggers pierced through the chest, passing through the wall, as Hai Xiangjin spat blood and collapsed dead on the spot.

Before his death.

His eyes widened, staring straight at the Fifth Master beside the Crown Prince, as if something was holding him back.

Fifth Master desperately concealed his panicked gaze, pretending to be calm as he shifted his eyes elsewhere, disregarding the pleading look Hai Xiangjin gave before his death.

"Father!"

A sharp voice came through.

Hai Feng rushed in from outside, clothes in disarray and face pale.

"Father! Father, what happened to you?!"

Running too fast, her hairpins and rings scattered all over the floor.

Hai Feng paid no attention, throwing herself beside Hai Xiangjin in tears.

"Father, don’t die, don’t leave your daughter, Father!"

Hai Geli and Hai Situ’s expressions changed drastically.

Worried, they didn’t want Hai Feng to get involved, thus they pretended to be vicious and said.

"Where did this madwoman come from, don’t touch our Emperor with your filthy hands!"

"You dogs from the Great Chu Dynasty, it’s one thing to kill our Monarch, but to humiliate him, what kind of skill is that!"

Fifth Master felt extremely embarrassed, promptly saying to Hai Feng sanctimoniously.

"The Monarch of Western Xia is dead, Princess Consort, please restrain your grief!"

Then he instructed the servant beside him.

"You there, quickly pull the Princess Consort away!"

"Yes!"

The servants responded, walking towards Hai Feng in unison.

Hai Feng quickly stood up, glaring fiercely at the Fifth Master.

"Don’t come any closer, none of you are allowed to come closer!"

Fifth Master’s face changed, suppressing his anger.

"Hai Feng, what do you want to do?!"

"I understand your heart aches at your father’s death!"

"But family enmity and national hatred are not something you or I can change!"

"Your father was wicked, he deserved to die..."

"You’re the one who deserves to die!"

Hai Feng screamed, interrupting him.

"Zhao Junzhe, you hypocrite, you absolute bastard!"

Fifth Master: "..."

The atmosphere inside the military tent was indescribably eerie.

Zhao Qichen left with a darkened face.

The few generals, taking the captives, also left.

Only the Fifth Prince and Fifth Princess Consort remained inside the tent.

The Fifth Prince revealed his true nature, grabbing Hai Feng’s collar fiercely and said.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"What good does humiliating me do you? Don’t forget the promise you made to me!"

Hai Feng glared with resentment, mocking fiercely.

"Humiliate you?!"

"Do you even have face? You utter hypocrite!"

The Fifth Master’s grip tightened.

"Whether I’m a hypocrite or not is none of your business! I haven’t mistreated you all these years!"

"If you want Liangliang to have a good life, then obediently take your own life, otherwise..."

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, Hai Feng burst into laughter, as if she’d heard the funniest joke in the world.

"A man!"

"Would use anything and everything to get what he wants, by any means necessary!"

"To stay in the Capital City rather than his fief, he would use his own marriage, marrying a Commandery Princess from another country to achieve his goals!"

"When my father declares war on the Great Chu, you, to avoid being implicated, force your own wife to take her own life!"

"For fear that your wife might unveil his disgraceful facade, you even threaten her using your own four-year-old son!"

"Hahaha..."

"Zhao Junzhe, is that all you’ve got?"

"Don’t you find your existence extremely pitiful?!"

The Fifth Prince, having been exposed, had a face twisted with venom and malice.

He slapped Hai Feng hard on the face, viciously saying.

"What nonsense are you spouting?! Hurry and shut up for me!"

A streak of fresh blood flowed from her mouth.

A red and swollen five-finger mark instantly appeared on Hai Feng’s face.

She was still fearless, laughing madly towards the sky.

"Haha, nonsense?!"

"I dare swear to the heavens, everything I said is true, if not, let me be struck by divine lightning!"

"What about you? Zhao Junzhe, do you dare?!"

Zhao Junzhe looked around nervously, afraid of being overheard, quickly covering her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Hai Feng bit down hard.

The Fifth Master, in pain, immediately recoiled.

He glared at Hai Feng with a fierce look, like a starving wolf driven to desperation, seeing a bleeding piece of fresh meat.

If he could, he would have immediately torn her to pieces.

"What’s wrong? You’re thinking of killing me now?"

Hai Feng staggered forward, with a half-smile, handed him a gleaming dagger exuding a cold light.

Her eyes were filled with hatred, defiance, a sneer, and mockery.

The Fifth Master actually felt guilty, even... frightened, not daring to take it.

Hai Feng gently lifted his hand, placing the hilt of the dagger into it.

"Come on!"

"What’re you afraid of? Haven’t you always wanted to kill me?! Come on!"

The Fifth Master held the dagger, his fist slowly clenching tighter.

Looking at the crazed woman before him, a voice echoed in his ear.

’Kill her!’

’Kill her!’

’As long as she dies, you remain the noble Fifth Prince of the Great Chu!’

’As long as she dies, you can marry a Beautiful Delicate Lady, enjoy beauties on each arm!’

’As long as she dies, everything will end!’

’Kill her!’

The Fifth Prince’s gaze turned vicious in an instant, and he exerted force with his wrist.

With a ’puchi’ sound, the dagger fully entered Hai Feng’s chest.

"Hahaha..." With blood spewing from her mouth, Hai Feng continued to laugh wildly.

Amidst her laughter, another ’puchi’ sound was heard.

The Fifth Master looked down in disbelief at his own chest.

There, surprisingly, was an identical dagger inserted!

"Haha! Didn’t expect it, did you?"

Hai Feng laughed with all her strength till the end.

As soon as she finished speaking, her whole body went limp, as if her soul had been extracted, collapsing to the ground.

After Hai Feng fell, the Fifth Prince didn’t last much longer.

He glared wide-eyed, unwillingly trying to pull the dagger from his chest.

Blood gushed out of the blood-filled hole, flowing like a column.

The Fifth Prince was ultimately powerless, collapsing onto the ground.

Blood spread across the ground, onto Hai Feng’s collar, her body, her hands.

She used all her strength to raise her hand, looking at it stained with his blood, and smiled in satisfaction.

’Liangliang!’

’I killed your father, you are the sole Princely Heir of the Commandery Prince!’

’The Emperor of Great Chu is not cruel, he should treat you kindly!’

’Liangliang, my child, this is the last time Mother Consort loves you...’

The delicate hand fell to the ground, and breath ceased.

Hai Feng departed with a smile on her lips, contentment in her heart.

The Fifth Prince beside her had stopped breathing long ago.

Unlike Hai Feng, he died with his eyes open, unfulfilled.

...

The soldiers noticed no movement inside the tent for a while.

They tentatively opened the door to peek inside.

Blood covered the ground, and the two people had identical daggers stuck into each other.

Even their fallen positions were so similar.

’Tsk tsk, they truly are a couple!’

’Hehe, it seems they both deserved to die!’

The Fifth Master had a poor reputation in court, though due to his status, everyone was angry but didn’t dare speak up.

As for Hai Feng.

The daughter of Hai Xiangjin, didn’t deserve to live at all.

So.

Even with the Fifth Prince and Fifth Princess Consort both passing.

There wasn’t much mourning in the army.
