Hearing the palace maid's report, Feng Xuanming's originally calm breathing suddenly became rapid. He wanted to sit up, but just when he raised half of his body, he fell heavily back onto the bed. There seemed to be a mouthful of thick phlegm in his throat, and he let out a heavy wheezing sound like a broken bellows, which reminded Yi Qingchen of the dying Lao Ma.
"Where's Feng Zhuohua?"
Yi Qingchen waved her hand, signaling the palace maids to leave first. After everyone had left, she spoke, "Why is the emperor in such a hurry?"
Feng Xuanming looked at the indifferent expression on Yi Qingchen's face, and suddenly understood something: "Did you and Feng Zhuohua set up this trap?"
Yi Qingchen looked at Feng Xuanming with a look of neither sadness nor joy in his eyes: "Didn't the emperor know my identity from the beginning? Why does he have to pretend to be so hurt now?"
After many years, Feng Xuanming called out that name again: "Yi Qingchen, you still hate me. If you hate me so much, why do you want to come back to me?"
"You ruined my entire Yi family and got the throne you always dreamed of. I want to watch you lose everything. This is the greatest revenge for you."
Feng Xuanming became emotional again: "I have been so kind to you and your daughter, and have given you my love and status, why are you still not satisfied?"
"The favor and status you gave me are nothing compared to the revenge of exterminating my family." Yi Qingchen reached out and stroked his own face, "Do you know how painful it is to change your face?"
Feng Xuanming glared at Yi Qingchen: "What do you want? I asked Feng Zhuohua to assist Feng Shuyu, and all the power is in her hands. What else are you dissatisfied with? You made Feng Shuyu a cripple, who do you want to make emperor?"
"Father, you should live a long life, why are you always thinking about establishing another emperor?" Feng Zhuohua walked in at this time.
Seeing Yi Qingchen and Feng Zhuohua acting so unscrupulously, Feng Xuanming could guess that the mother and daughter had completely controlled the situation in the palace. No wonder he didn't see Qi Rui. He might have died in their hands long ago.
"I can't hold out that long. You guys have schemed against all my princes. Do you think you can get what you want?"
When Feng Xuanming found out that he was being plotted, his expression suddenly changed. His attitude towards Yi Qingchen and Feng Zhuohua was based on the premise that they would not resist him.
Feng Zhuohua's smile was ironic: "Father, can Concubine Lan give you some soup to drink?"
Feng Xuanming opened his eyes wide, wondering if something was added to the soups. However, he had had the soups tested every time, and there was no poison at all.
Feng Zhuohua saw what Feng Xuanming was thinking: "Father, the Ghost-Faced Buddha is not poison, it is a curse. The entire Yi family cursed you to have poisonous sores all over your body. You will die after experiencing endless suffering. So don't worry, I will ask the imperial physician to clean your sores every day, and I guarantee that you can live for at least another ten years."
This means that Feng Xuanming will have to endure the torture of the carbuncle for at least ten years, which is simply worse than death.
The reason why the curse is a curse is that Feng Xuanming will not die before he is tortured. Hanging on to his last breath, lingering on, without any dignity, this is the cruelest punishment for him.
"You have vicious hearts." Feng Xuanming knew that the situation was hopeless. Yi Qingchen and her daughter had eliminated everyone around him, and when he was left alone and helpless, that was the time for them to take action.
They would not kill him. As long as he was alive, he would be the emperor of Western Xia. Feng Zhuohua could use the excuse that he, the emperor, was unwell to become the regent. What a cunning plan.
Feng Zhuohua asked coldly, "Isn't all this what the emperor wants? I would like to thank you for arranging the marriage between me and Jiang Ting. With Jiang Ting's support, I have made a lot of progress in my path to becoming the regent."
