In the cold palace, when Situ Jin heard that his son was going to his fiefdom of Xuzhou, he was surprised not to fly into a rage, but instead remained unusually silent.
"Mother, please take good care of yourself. I will come back to see you as soon as I have the chance," Feng Mo said gently.
Upon hearing this, Situ Jin's gaze fell on his handsome features, and she suddenly sighed deeply, shaking her head and saying, "Unless the emperor summons you, you are not allowed to enter the capital."
Feng Mo naturally knew this. "Although I can't return to the capital often, I will have at least one or two opportunities a year to return to the capital to report on my duties. At that time, I will be able to come back to see you."
Situ Jin murmured, "He's trying to force me to my death..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Mo felt a pang of anxiety. "Mother, please don't overthink it. In a few years, I will ask Father to take you with me to the fiefdom."
Situ Jin shook her head. "I don't want to go anywhere."
Seeing her mother like this, Feng Xin felt very sorry for her and comforted her with a smile: "Although my brother is no longer in the capital, you still have your son. I will come to visit you often."
Situ Jin's gaze finally fell on her, and he said with a hint of sarcasm, "How much longer can you stay with me? Now that your brother has been sent to Xuzhou, you'll be next."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xin fell silent.
"Alright, you can all leave now. Let me have some peace and quiet," Situ Jin said suddenly, sounding annoyed.
Seeing this, Feng Mo and his sister couldn't help but feel sad.
"Then Mother should rest well." Feng Mo stood up and said. Seeing that she had turned her back, he sighed inwardly, took Feng Xin's hand, and left the room.
After the brother and sister left, a cold smile appeared on Situ Jin's face. She would not let the old scoundrel have his way.
She would rather die than let the Feng family's empire fall into Xie Jingrun's hands.
After leaving the Cold Palace, Feng Xin was in a very low mood.
After escorting her back to her palace, Feng Mo returned to his own residence.
Feng Xin sat on the soft couch by the window, her mind filled with the cold and sarcastic expression of her mother.
She felt that her mother had changed a lot since she was deposed. She no longer cared about her and her brother as much as before. Now that her brother was leaving the capital, she didn't seem to be sad at all.
She sat for a long time before finally getting up and going to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
Although her elder brother said that his going to Xuzhou was a done deal, she still wanted to try her best to hope that her father would change his mind.
However, to her disappointment, her grandmother knew what she wanted to say as soon as she saw her.
“Xin’er, even your grandmother can’t do anything about this. I also can’t bear to part with your brother, but your father has already issued an imperial decree, and this matter cannot be changed.”
Feng Xin was very disappointed. Knowing that it would be useless to beg again, she shut up and didn't mention it again.
Seeing her granddaughter's dejected look, the Empress Dowager also felt sad.
She disliked Situ Jin, but she genuinely loved the two children she had with her. After all, the royal family had few heirs, so how could she not love them?
Just then, Granny Lin came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Miss Rong has sent someone to deliver a token to the palace, wishing to see you... "
The Empress Dowager was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and frowned, but ultimately spoke up: "Never mind, let her in."
"Yes." Granny Lin quickly left.
Feng Xin frowned and asked, "Why does Grandmother want to see Rong Yiyi?"
"She is, after all, your brother's fiancée. It wouldn't hurt for me to meet her," the Empress Dowager said nonchalantly.
Feng Xin disliked Rong Yiyi, but when she suddenly entered the palace to see her grandmother, she felt that things were not so simple. So she sat still and didn't move. She wanted to see what Rong Yiyi's purpose was.
