The left wing suddenly straightened up. The ninth prince had an unfathomable expression on his face, making people feel as if they had fallen into an endless abyss.
"Your Highness, please explain."
"Kill the Emperor." Feng Yunzheng indifferently said. These four words easily came out of his mouth.
"What …" Left wing was shocked and looked at Feng Yunzheng in disbelief —
He had heard that his concubine had been demoted and that the Ninth King had been chased out of the imperial court. So, was the Ninth Prince going to kill his father and kill his mother to avenge himself and his imperial concubine?
"Your Highness …" Ye Feng also looked at Feng Yunzheng in surprise. In their plans, there had never been someone who could kill the Emperor.
"How is it?" Feng Yunzheng stared at the left wing.
"The survival of my goal, His Highness wants me to kill the emperor, but he still …" Left wing hesitated, but the insect had already crawled into his body, he felt a bone chilling cold.
"I swear on my head that you will not die for assassinating the Emperor." Feng Yunzheng said.
"…" The sweat on his left wing grew more and more, until even his eyes could no longer see clearly. Even though he loved money, he was now extremely regretful about coveting that ten thousand taels of gold from Xuan Fei!
"Night wind." Feng Yunzheng called out.
"Yes …" The night wind understood, and it grabbed another stalk of schistosome from the bucket.
"I promise, I promise!" Compared to the pain of killing the Emperor with a single sword strike and being sucked dry of his blood by the blood worm, he would rather choose the former! Besides, this Ninth Prince didn't seem like someone who would lie to him.
Then the night wind picked up a handful of ash and sprinkled it on his wound, and the blood stopped flowing, and opened his mouth and forced him to swallow with a pill.
The medicine you had just taken was to temporarily restrain the learning worm from drilling into the depths of your body. It will be effective for two days. When tomorrow's matter is over, I will give you another pill. After you eat the other one, I will lure the learning worm out. The night wind warned sternly.
"Yes, yes!" Left wing felt that he had met someone much more terrifying than Consort Xuan.
"You can go. Do you want to turn yourself in front of the emperor, or are you going to be captured by him later? Choose for yourself."
"…" The left flapped a fist at Feng Yunzheng, then dragged himself out of the trap with his clattering feet.
On the way back to the tent —
"Hahahaha …" Ye Feng couldn't help but giggle, "This person was also scared silly, treating the grasshopper as a blood worm. He doesn't even know if there are any worms in his body or not."
"When a person is extremely afraid, they will often lose their sense of judgement over a matter. Moreover, he has already been imprisoned inside the cave for several hours, and hearing that Consort Xuan is already of no use, their fear has already reached the greatest degree. It isn't strange for them to believe in your fluke." Feng Yunzheng analyzed.
"Your majesty's words are reasonable!" Ye Feng nodded.
"Keep an eye on him. There can't be any mistakes. Mufei, whether or not you'll be able to get justice for your grievances will be up to you. Whether or not I can return to the imperial court, I'll have to watch this once!" Feng Yunzheng instructed.
"Yes sir!" At his command, the night wind quickly plunged into the night, following the left flank.
Feng Yunzheng looked all around him before finally looking at the Empress' tent and striding over — —
When the empress heard that the Ninth Prince had requested an audience, she revealed a surprised expression and said —
"You're finally willing to come and see me. The matter between me and Consort Xuan has implicated your mufei and the matter with the crown prince has implicated you as well. I think that you must be resenting me."
"This son doesn't dare." Feng Yunzheng knelt in front of the empress and kowtowed. "It's just that this child didn't have the chance to enter the palace, so I didn't pay my respects to the empress."
The empress sighed when she heard this. "You've been wronged."
Feng Yunzheng laughed and did not speak.
The empress continued, "Last time, I carefully selected five people to be Prince Heng's consort, but you didn't accept any of them. Furthermore, you claimed that you already had someone in your heart. "Since you've come today, tell me who that person is. If I think he's worthy, I'll go beg the emperor and end your marriage." As she spoke to Feng Yunzheng, her tone seemed to contain a bit of the kindness of an elder.
But...
Feng Yunzheng said, "Imperial Mother, this son does not wish to discuss the matters of our children's private relationships right now."
The empress stopped picking at her jewelry, her eyes glazed over as she lifted her head to ask, "You really didn't come specifically to see me, what do you want to talk about?"
"Xuan Fei." Feng Yunzheng spat out these two words as he deeply looked into the empress's eyes.
The empress's face turned white, and her hands tightened around the back of the chair.
The emperor had already ordered the entire hunting grounds to be sealed. In order to thoroughly investigate the truth of the matter, the hunt that was originally planned to last for five days only lasted for two days before it came to a halt.
The empress had already unknowingly replaced all of the servants by Empress Xuan's side with her own, so there wasn't even a single person who could speak.
At first, she would wake up, then she would fall asleep, and at first, the lower half of her body below her waist would be numb and unconscious. She felt as if she didn't have the lower half of her body, and then there would be soreness, and then pain, a heart-wrenching pain that made her feel as if her entire body was being torn in half. Every part of her body would be in pain, and she wished that she could die right away.
However, the pain made her not even have the strength to kill herself.
The blood seemed to be clogged, unable to circulate, and his head felt heavy and heavy. He could not help but want to vomit.
The servant that served her also didn't put his heart into it. Even if he threw up all over her body, he wouldn't let her wipe it clean, so she didn't have the strength to order others around anymore.
At night, when the tent curtains were lifted, she opened her eyes groggily and caught a glimpse of a particularly tall and cold figure.
It's him?
Was she dreaming? He came?
She stretched out her trembling hand and tried to smile, but a strange expression appeared on her face.
"You, you're here, aren't you?"
"How are you doing?" That familiar voice was filled with the usual indifference. She was stunned for a moment before forcefully blinking her eyes. That dream's image became clearer, clearer, and clearer. She saw —
It really was him!
"Four, four …"
"Shh!" Feng Qianyue sat down beside her and raised his hand to gently caress her face. When that warm fingertip made contact with her skin, her face trembled for a moment;
Feng Qianyue's gaze looked at her as if she was smiling, but his eyes seemed to be far away, as if they were separated by the Milky Way.
