"oh?"
Guo Feng glanced at Wang Shengzhi, then nodded and went to the side with Wang Shengzhi.
With a wave of his hand, he set up a soundproof barrier.
Then he said, "Your Majesty, what is it? Speak."
"I really don't deserve to be called the emperor's son-in-law."
Wang Shengzhi hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting, "Anyone can see who Her Majesty the Empress has chosen; I am merely a scapegoat."
"Imperial Son-in-Law, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that the Empress doesn't keep her word?"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.
Wang Shengzhi turned pale with fright and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Lord Wind King, that's not what I meant."
"Since I'm speaking to you like this, it means I'm surrendering to you."
"I never expected that I would be chosen by the Empress as her future husband."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Guo Feng, saying, "Lord Feng, I am currently in the eye of the storm, please save me."

"You, a prospective son-in-law of the emperor, following me around like a shadow, isn't that inappropriate?"
Guo Feng asked calmly.
Wang Shengzhi hurriedly waved his hand: "Now, who in the entire capital doesn't know your true identity, Lord Feng Wang? It's perfectly reasonable for me, as a stand-in, to follow behind you."
As he spoke, he quickly added, "I am the son of the city lord of the Great King City. We may not have many others, but we have a large population. I am willing to command an army of 200,000 and obey your orders, King Feng."
He's desperate to curry favor with someone powerful, otherwise, neither he nor his family would benefit.
This is dangerous!
