Gu Hua Jing closed her eyes, "I'm afraid Your Highness has forgotten why I was married back then."

She wasn't really sincere about marrying him, she was being forced!

In this sort of situation, how could Feng Rong possibly ask him to lend a hand? He had threatened the safety of the Gu family!

"I have a good memory."

There was no hint of awkwardness on Feng Rong's face, as if the person who had threatened the Gu family was not him.

"Feng Yao is an arrogant and proud person, especially when someone disobeys his wishes. Feng Mu's reputation is refined outside the sect, but he's also extremely shrewd. If they become emperor, have you thought about the outcome of the Gu family?"

Gu Hua Jing's heart thumped, and her expression immediately turned ugly.

The fourth prince and his mother had almost crippled their own hands! If they had the power, what would happen to the Gu family?

"… …." said the Second Prince. The Second Prince's reputation was not bad, but his father had clearly rejected the Second Prince's offer of an olive branch.

The more Gu Hua Jing thought about it, the more she had the urge to curse. They weren't good people, so the future of the Gu family was bleak!

However, it sounded like the Gu family would be able to live a good life once Feng Rong became emperor.

He had no plans to be his side wife for the rest of his life. By that time, without his connections, what was the Gu family to Feng Rong?

Perhaps, in order to conceal the fact that he had used himself to get close to the palace, it wasn't impossible for him to keep his mouth shut.

Gu Hua Jing looked at Feng Rong with a strange expression. Feng Rong didn't seem to understand. She didn't seem to have done anything to harm her, so why was it that she had always been so wary of him?

Feng Rong didn't immediately ask Gu Hua Jing to express her opinion. For matters like this, no one could make a decision immediately.

It was just that Gu Hua Jing felt as if a sword was hanging over her head.

She already knew about this wolf's ambition. She wanted to pretend that she didn't hear it. Was it possible?

"Your Highness, this is the Madam's soup for you, please drink it when it's hot."

A small cup was placed on top of the table. Feng Rong glanced over and a faint fragrance drifted out from the small cup.

Lifting the lid, she took a sip without using a spoon.

The servant girl tidied up the table and silently retreated.

Once again, Feng Rong took out the letter from the secret compartment, but she couldn't concentrate.

It seemed that ever since Gu Hua Jing's hand had recovered, he would deliver quite a few tonics to her every day.

Not only that, but when he ate dinner that night, his favorite food also appeared on the dining table.

It seemed like she hadn't seen Gu Hua Jing roll her eyes at her for a while, even though her attitude still wasn't that intimate.

This … was she thanking him?

The corner of Feng Rong's mouth suddenly curved into a smile. Her gratitude was so low-key.

How boring would that be?

When it was time for dinner, Gu Hua Jing placed a few dishes that he liked to eat into Feng Rong's bowl. Feng Rong was overwhelmed by the attention shown by this girl. She was so focused on eating that she actually cooked for him?

Gu Hua Jing calmly picked it up before starting to eat her own food.

She felt that since Feng Rong had saved her, she wouldn't be a person who didn't know to return the favor.

Feng Rong calmly ate all the food. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the faint smile on Gu Hua Jing's lips and her mood also became cheerful.

After eating, Feng Rong was used to drinking a cup of tea with her.

When the tea was served, the fragrance caused Feng Rong to be stunned for a moment before she smiled.

"Madam, the tea here is indeed excellent."

"As long as Your Highness likes it, I'll have someone send some to him later."

"There's no need for that. I can drink it here and there. It can also be considered a wish."

Feng Rong blew on it and took a sip. The fragrance was pleasant and pleasant, and she felt slightly bitter as she accepted the gift. As expected, it was a good tea.

The servants in the room had all left. Gu Hua Jing suddenly tensed up. She felt that there was something wrong with Feng Rong's gaze today. What was wrong with it?

"Madame, sing a song for me."

"Hmm?"

Gu Hua Jing stared blankly, thinking she didn't hear him clearly.

"I originally wanted to hear you touch the zither, but I'm afraid the injury on my hand hasn't completely healed, so I'll just sing."

"Why?"

Gu Hua Jing's blank expression looked as if she was amused by Feng Jian's smile, "Because I want to hear it."

Hmm, there seems to be nothing wrong …

But that's just not right. Why does he have to sing just because he wants to hear it?!

Gu Hua Jing was extremely depressed in her heart. She wanted to throw her face and leave, but this old lady only sold her body and not her skills!

However, she was silent for a moment, "What does Your Highness want to hear?"

Feng Rong's smile widened. "I want to listen to everything Madame sings."

Thus, a melodious and faintly discernible voice came from Gu Hua Jing's room.

Soft and soothing melody, pleasing to the heart.

Outside in the courtyard, the servants were all listening with bated breath. Senior Servant Tian was mumbling to herself incessantly. It seemed like the relationship between the young miss and His Highness had started to improve. It was truly Bodhisattva's blessing.

When Feng Rong came out of the house, Lei was shocked.

His Highness had also been tense for the past few days, continuously receiving guests and staying up through the night, but now he felt refreshed all over.

The Lady has such a great magic?

Inside the room, Gu Hua Jing was lying paralyzed on the table, patting her own head in frustration.

She's not a singer! What do you mean by 'seal'?

However, she couldn't reject his request because he had saved her from being a concubine …

After Gu Hua Jing woke up in her own bed, she thanked the Buddha devoutly. She also wanted to repay the debt of gratitude that she had saved.

It's just a song, it's not that hard...

After consoling herself for a while, she went to the study to read.

When it came to matters that she had asked Gu Hua Jing to consider, Gu Hua Jing seriously considered them for a moment.

She felt that, in truth, one had to depend on the will of heaven.

Look, if there was no problem between him and Bai Lingtian in the beginning, with the current situation of the Second Prince, wouldn't it be perfect if Bai Lingtian was the Second Prince's man?

However, the fourth prince had interfered and caused her and Bai Lingtian to leave each other behind. Could it be that he was destined to help Feng Rong?

Gu Hua Jing spent two days to persuade herself, and then found an opportunity to secretly convey her meaning.

"Madam, I feel very at ease with your kind intentions."

Feng Rong looked extremely emotional. Without wasting any time, she took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of her.

"Then, can the Madam dispel all these questions for your husband?"

"This … where does Your Highness come from?"

The piece of paper in front of him was obviously the piece of paper that Gu Hua Jing had randomly written down at Old Master Fang's place. How could it be in Feng Rong's hands?

"Some of the methods listed above are obvious at first glance, but there are also some that cannot be explained in detail. Could Madam explain them in detail?"

Feng Rong didn't answer Gu Hua Jing's question, but simply pushed the paper towards her.

"The Fang family's old patriarch … with His Highness?"

"Madam, you don't need to ask about this. It wouldn't be beneficial for you to know too much about it."

It wasn't that Gu Hua Jing wanted to ask, it was just that she was too surprised.

So, Feng Rong didn't want to be as idle as the rumors claimed? Other than having a woman in his house, he had a deep relationship with the court officials as well?

Were the women, the women, just a smokescreen?

Gu Hua Jing felt a chill in her heart. She had the nagging feeling that she just saw something amazing.

No wonder Senior Servant Tian had been looking down on the girls in the back courtyard at first, but now she didn't feel as conflicted anymore. According to the information she had gathered, she had never kept a single woman in her house.

No wonder Feng Rong was able to know so much secret information. If he really was a carefree Prince that didn't care about worldly matters, how would he be able to learn all this?

Gu Hua Jing immediately felt like she was cheated. Her mouth unconsciously flattened, she looked at the paper without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Didn't you think I could protect the Gu family? If I really don't have any ability at all, you should worry, right? "

"…"

It seemed that he was right.

Gu Hua Jing was even more depressed. Why did everything he said seem to make sense?

However, when she thought about how someone like the Fang family's Old Master could actually side with Feng Rong, Gu Hua Jing actually had a feeling that the whole world was drunk and she was the only one awake.

Secretly sighing, Gu Hua Jing tried her best to explain the methods written on the paper to Feng Rong.

Master Hui Jin had once said that if he were to meet a noble, his fate would also be precious.

Gu Hua Jing didn't believe it at first, but now she was a little hesitant.

[Is this person talking about the disguise?]

"..." "By stabilizing the channel, narrowing the cross-section of the channel, increasing the flow velocity, increasing the capacity of carrying sand in the water flow and using water conservancy to brush the deep channel to solve the problem of sediment deposition."

Gu Hua Jing racked her brain, and poured out everything she remembered in one go. As for how to actually do it …

Hehe.

His mouth was parched and his tongue was parched. Gu Hua Jing stopped to rest for a while.

In fact, she only knew a few theoretical things. For example, how to construct this sand dam, how to calculate the ratio, the flow of the water current, and the width of the river all required precise calculations.

If she really had to do it, Gu Hua Jing would definitely be unable to make any sense of it.

Therefore, Gu Hua Jing felt that what she said was still unrealistic.

However, Feng Rong listened intently, even though Gu Hua Jing didn't say anything more, he still looked to be deep in thought.

Can you understand it?

Gu Hua Jing felt that she had underestimated his appearance. Just how much of his strength was hidden?

"What Madam said is quite novel, but when it comes to implementing it, it is fraught with difficulties."

"Hehehe, I only think of it occasionally. Your Highness can just treat it as a joke."

Feng Rong smiled, and there was no teasing expression in her smile.

He seemed to be in a hurry. He got up and wanted to go to his study.

Gu Hua Jing knew that perhaps in a little while, a girl would be called into the backyard to play a song. It was just that this time, she probably wouldn't be envious of Feng Rong.

Just how many secrets were there in that study yard that could disguise a disguise as a person addicted to facial expressions?

Feng Rong was about to step out of the room when she suddenly stopped.

That peerless face turned slightly to the side. "I'm very sorry about that matter with Imperial Consort Su. In the future, there won't be any more accidents like that."

Feng Rong's voice was very soft. She disappeared along with his figure at the door, as if she hadn't appeared at all.
