As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Ting'an and the prince looked at the emperor at the same time.
The imperial study suddenly became quiet.
The emperor sat down slowly, took the tea handed to him by Eunuch Cao, and said calmly, "Prince Rui? I understand."
Sensing the change in the atmosphere in the room, the emperor knew what everyone was thinking.
He put his tea down and chuckled.
"Before Luo'er went to Li Country, she told me that she wanted to investigate the identity of her grandmother. Do you think I would implicate the Jin family because of this?"
Li Yunhe brought this matter up in advance just to see the emperor's attitude. Seeing the emperor like this, he also laughed.
"So the princess has already told your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at Jin Ting'an.
"I'm not some incompetent ruler. I've seen everything the Jin family has done for Tianqi."
If the Jin family had any rebellious thoughts, they would have rebelled long ago with the military order in their hands.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jin Ting'an knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.
The emperor stood up and went down to help him up.
"Okay, get up and go back to tell General Jin about this. Remember to set off for Qiang Country tomorrow and resolve the Qiang issue as soon as possible, otherwise we don't know when Luo'er will come back."
Given Luo'er's love for Xitong and her restlessness, it is impossible for her to sit idly by and watch Xitong's royal brother.
"Yes, I obey your command."
"Prince, get ready and go to Li Country to see Luo'er."
…
After leaving the imperial study, he returned to the East Palace.
The prince asked Lin Qi to call Feng Hongyu over. Lin Qi went for a while and came back soon.
"Your Highness, the concubine has gone out."
The prince frowned, "Let's talk about it when she comes back."
"Your Highness, has the concubine truly lost her memory?"
Lin Qi asked as he poured tea for the prince.
"It's fake," the prince said, picking up the tea and looking up at Lin Qi. "She wants to use her amnesia to escape Feng Qingqing's control."
Falling off a carriage and losing my memory, how could it be such a coincidence?
"Go keep an eye on her now. If she's in trouble, help her."
Seeing that Lin Qi did not move, the prince looked at him with a smile.
"Why, you still remember her stealing the city defense map? It's true that she stole the map, but she also modified it before giving it away. She was just a poor person with no ability to resist."
It was precisely because he knew this that he wanted to give Feng Hongyu a chance to perform in the future. If Feng Hongyu performed well, he could talk to the Queen of Li Kingdom and let Feng Hongyu return to her father.
At this moment, Feng Hongyu was walking on the street with her personal maid. She avoided the passing crowd while nervously touching the dagger in her sleeve.
Ever since she planned to use her amnesia to escape Feng Qingqing's control, she had already thought of her future plans.
She has lost her memory, and these secret agents will definitely test her.
She had deliberately taken the maid out of the palace today to give these people a chance to test her.
She touched the dagger hidden in her sleeve and let out a heavy breath.
When she was about to walk towards the cloth shop, she suddenly heard a clear female voice.
She turned around and saw Shi Ran and Shi Yue'er walking towards her. They bowed and saluted her.
"Miss Shi, Miss Second."
Feng Hongyu nodded in response to the two of them.
"Thank you, Concubine, for saving me and Yue'er. We are unable to enter the palace to express our gratitude. I hope you will forgive us."
Shi Yue'er pursed her lips and didn't dare to look at Feng Hongyu.
That day, she and her sister went to burn incense, but the horse was frightened and almost fell off the cliff. Fortunately, Feng Hongyu appeared in time and used her carriage to hit the mad horse, which made the horse stop and prevented her and her sister from being buried at the bottom of the cliff.
"It's a small matter, Miss Shi, don't take it to heart."
Feng Hongyu's gaze fell on Shi Ran's dignified and generous face. Thinking of what she had heard vaguely, she clenched her sleeves tightly, imagining the person in front of her standing with the prince, and her heart couldn't help feeling a little bitter.
One of them is dignified and generous, the other is as gentle as jade. They should be a perfect match standing together.
Shi Ran started to guess when he noticed Feng Hongyu was staring at him in a daze.
Could it be that the emperor really intended to arrange a marriage between her and the prince, which was why the concubine was looking at her like this?
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Coming back to his senses, Feng Hongyu smiled and walked away.
Arriving at the door of the familiar cloth shop, Feng Hongyu asked the maid to wait for her outside for a while and walked in.
When Old Zhu saw Feng Hongyu come in, his eyes changed.
When he learned that Feng Hongyu had lost her memory, he wanted to test her. However, Feng Hongyu had not left the palace since she said she didn't know him.
Today it came to my door.
"Madam, what kind of fabric do you need?"
When Feng Hongyu heard the voice, he turned his head and looked, and his face immediately showed horror.
“You…you’re not…”
She was interrupted by Lao Zhu before she could finish her words.
"Don't be afraid, Madam. It was all a misunderstanding before."
Feng Hongyu stared at him suspiciously, obviously not believing what he said. She took a step back and wanted to leave.
"Madam, I recognized the wrong person. What kind of cloth do you want? I will give it to you as compensation."
"Don't be afraid, this boss is a very nice person."
The ladies who were picking out the cloth helped to speak.
Feng Hongyu moved her feet and pursed her lips, "I want the best fabric you have."
Looking at her completely different appearance, Lao Zhu felt a little uncertain.
Could it be that Feng Hongyu really lost her memory?
What should he do about the matter the princess had instructed him to do when Feng Hongyu lost her memory? Only two of the assassins were left alive, and he hadn't dared to tell the princess about this, intending to atone for his crime after completing other tasks.
Old Zhu smiled gently and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"Madam, please move upstairs."
Feng Hongyu hesitated and did not move.
"If you're worried, Madam, I'll have someone else take you up?"
"Since it's just a misunderstanding, there's no need to trouble others."
After saying that, I followed him up to the second floor.
After going upstairs, before Feng Hongyu could say anything, Lao Zhu covered her mouth and dragged her to the room she had been to before.
She struggled desperately, but her strength was no match for the burly Old Zhu.
"Don't suffocate people to death."
The thin man in the room looked at the two people who came in and stood up.
Old Zhu let go of Feng Hongyu, watched her pant violently, pinched her chin and said, "Second Princess, do you really not recognize us?"
Feng Hongyu took a step back, her lips trembling.
"I don't know you. Who are you? Aren't you here to show me the fabric?"
"How could you not recognize us?" Old Zhu said with a fierce look in his eyes. "You are the second princess of Li Kingdom, and you haven't completed the task assigned by the princess yet."
"I am the Crown Prince's concubine. I don't know you, let alone any Crown Princess."
Feng Hongyu sobbed softly, "If you dare to touch me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let you go."
"Old Zhu, it looks like she really doesn't recognize us."
"Shut up."
Old Zhu glared at the thin man, then looked at Feng Hongyu, who was shaking with fear.
"Whether you really don't know us or not, you'll know later."
