After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the farce finally came to an end quietly.

At first, the incident of catching the assassin caused a lot of uproar. The Royal Guards searched everywhere and arrested many unrelated people. Everyone in the palace was in danger.

Fei Wan didn't know how Pei Yanzhou managed to escape the search of the Imperial Guards.

Later, when he thought about it carefully, perhaps it was because his presence in the palace was too weak in the past. When Xiao Heng mentioned this frail hostage from the Pei State, he felt that he could not cause any trouble.

Not only Xiao Heng thought so, almost everyone in the palace thought so, and the search was just a hasty one.

It wasn't until... Pei Yanzhou fell into the water that a huge wave was stirred up in the deep palace, which had just calmed down.

"That Pei State hostage died?"

Xiao Heng thought deeply for a while and finally pulled out this person from the corner of his memory.

He is weak and sickly, cowardly and timid.

When he first became a prince, he had met this hostage from the State of Pei.

That appearance is indeed impressive, but that’s all.

If you only have a pretty face but no power, you will only become a target of bullying by others.

He had heard that this proton was ostracized by everyone in the palace.

Even my father, the emperor, tacitly allowed the palace servants to do some small things to the hostage, and as long as they didn't cause any big trouble, he would leave it alone.

Not to mention the princes and princesses in the palace.

But Xiao Heng didn’t think what they did was wrong. After all, only the strong can survive in this world.

The weak, if they cannot adapt, will be eliminated.

I didn't expect him to die so suddenly...

Xiao Heng was somewhat shocked when he heard this, but he still waved his hand.

"Got it. Go on down."

Compared to Xiao Heng's surprise, Fei Wan already knew the plot, and the events in the plot happened as expected, which was still within his expectations.

She knew about the plan the night Pei Yanzhou came to see her.

Hearing the news, she turned her gaze indifferently to the window.

When Xiao Heng looked at her, she lowered her eyes and asked worriedly, "Ah Heng, will this affect you?"

Xiao Heng was stunned.

Fei Wan actually cared about him so much.

In fact, even if something happened to Pei Yanzhou, Xiao Heng didn't care much.

Regardless of the strength of Pei State, the current political situation in Pei State is chaotic and there is no need to be afraid of it.

Xiao Heng ruffled Fei Wan's hair and said with a smile, "It's okay."

After saying that, he frowned again and looked at her with a distressed expression.

"Wan'er has been wronged..."

What Xiao Heng was referring to was naturally the Hundred Flowers Banquet that she had carefully prepared, which was ruined. Now the person behind the scenes still could not be found, making it difficult to give her an explanation.

Not to mention that Fei Wan was going to deliberately ruin the banquet. As a "virtuous queen", how could she let Xiao Heng continue to feel guilty?

Then I can only blame the blame...

"It's nothing that I've been wronged..."

Fei Wan sighed, "I'm just worried about delaying Ah Heng's government affairs. Ah Heng spends a lot of energy handling government affairs every day."

Fei Wan paused for a moment, then continued, "There's no one to share the burden, and I don't know when we'll be able to finish processing the memorials that pile up every day."

Her words showed her concern for Xiao Heng and were very considerate.

Xiao Heng felt warm in his heart.

When he heard the second half of the sentence, he thought of something and his eyes darkened.

It would have been fine if Fei Wan didn't mention this matter. Once she did, Xiao Heng finally remembered the person he had been ignoring recently.

Xiao Yue would go to the palace at a fixed time every month to submit memorials to him, but this month he unexpectedly took a leave of absence.

He disappeared since the Hundred Flowers Banquet. To be more precise...

After he gave Nan Qingqing to him, Xiao Yue disappeared from the palace.

All the coincidences, coupled with Xiao Heng sending Nan Qingqing away, does not mean that he has truly let it go.

When Xiao Heng thought of this, he became even more restless.

He has to check on Xiao Yue.
