Chapter 14 The Emperor is here with us

"My Queen, are you pregnant?"

Ruyi screamed and ran over happily.

“…”

Feng Xiyao frowned. How did she act like she was pregnant?

Seeing Ruyi waving her arms and legs excitedly with stars in her eyes, she quickly stopped.

"No, I'm not pregnant!"

“…”

These words were like a basin of cold water, chilling Ruyi to the core. She looked at her flat belly, then at her serious expression.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me earlier? I was so happy for nothing!" Ruyi said, picking up the scissors and continuing to trim the flowers and plants.

Feng Xiyao raised her hands. She knew that Ruyi wanted her to use pregnancy to win the tyrant's favor, but she didn't want to be trapped in the palace forever. After all, when the original male protagonist ruled Da Xia, the first group he would kill would be the royal family. She didn't live long enough!

Outside the palace, in General Lin’s mansion.

Lin Youquan smashed the tea brought by the servant, and the flesh on his face trembled with anger.

"Mo Cangyan has really grown wings. He even challenged me. He doesn't even think about who supported him to ascend the throne!"

Recently, Mo Cangyan killed many people who were loyal to him secretly. Even the Zuo Shangshu's house was searched and all the gold, silver and treasures in his house were confiscated.

Those things were collected with great effort by him and Shangshu Zuo, and they were all taken away in one gulp, without even a drop of soup left for themselves.

Thinking of the Queen Mother, he hurriedly asked the housekeeper, "Have you shown the letter to the Queen Mother? What does she say?"

The butler didn't know how to reply. The empress dowager received the letter but didn't give them any news.

Seeing the butler's expression, Lin Youquan slapped him and said, "You useless good-for-nothing. You can't even handle such a small matter. What's the point of having you!"

…

Feng Xiyao was taken out of the palace by Mo Cangyan today. He said that he was taking her back to visit her parents, but actually he was going to find Prime Minister Feng and make him a "scapegoat".

Thinking of what the tyrant said before, Feng Xiyao curled his lips.

The tyrant wanted to completely liberate the original people of Longguo, remove the slavery orders from them, and make them the same as the people of Daxia, but he couldn't say it himself, so he could only find Feng Xiyao's father, who was stubborn.

In the carriage, Feng Xiyao glanced at the calm and leisurely man beside her from time to time.

Today he took off his dragon robe and wore a crescent-colored green shirt. His hair was combed up and tied up high with a hair crown. His handsome face was expressionless, which made his already deep temperament more elegant.

[Damn, this is so pretty! If the person in front of me wasn't a tyrant, I would definitely jump over! ]

Hearing Feng Xiyao's thoughts, Mo Cangyan didn't even look at her and leaned to the side.

The carriage continued to move for a long time before it finally stopped.

Feng Xiyao opened the curtain and what caught her eye was the huge Prime Minister's Mansion on the door plaque. There was a group of people standing at the door. They must have known that the emperor was coming and were waiting here. She held Ruyi's hand and jumped down.

Mo Cangyan also followed him down.

When Feng Li saw them, he hurried over to greet them.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister, no need to be so polite!"

"Dad! Mom!"

Feng Xiyao walked over and hugged her mother's arm.

Mother Feng hadn't seen Feng Xiyao for a long time, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Feng Li also missed his daughter, but since the emperor was there, he couldn't say anything, so he could only raise his hand and say, "Your Majesty, please!"

As soon as she got home, Feng Xiyao completely forgot what the tyrant had told her to do and chatted with her parents for a long time.

It was not until he was interrupted by the tyrant's light cough that he remembered the task he had assigned to him.

"Daddy, I have something to tell you!"

As she spoke, she pulled Feng Li aside.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. The emperor is still here!" Feng Li was still a little uncomfortable with his daughter's sudden change of character.

"It was the Emperor who asked me to tell you!"

Feng Xiyao told him that the emperor wanted him to submit a memorial to abolish the slavery order, and then instructed him to insist on this point of view in the court, and not give up no matter who opposed it, and to stand firmly on the same front with the emperor.

Although Feng Li was a bit extreme and old-fashioned, he agreed without hesitation because he thought it was for the good of the people.

Feng Xiyao was a little overwhelmed by his straightforward agreement.

[This is the first time I see someone taking the blame so much. My old man, please be careful. If this doesn’t work, you will be spit on and die!]

Seeing his daughter looking at him like this, Feng Li felt a little embarrassed: "What's wrong?"

Feng Xiyao shook his head: "No, Dad, you are such a good official, keep it up!"

Mo Cangyan, who was drinking tea nearby, heard Feng Xiyao's thoughts and chuckled.

After that, the group had dinner in the yard, and Feng Li and Mo Cangyan went to the study to discuss things.

Feng Xiyao was pulled into the room by her mother, who then took out a letter from a box and handed it to her.

"Jiang Jue originally wanted to give you this letter in person, but you entered the palace in such a hurry that you didn't have time to do so!"

Feng Xiyao blinked lightly. She didn’t know any Jiang Jue. There was no such person in the book.

Fearing that her mother would ask about it, she quickly took it and put it in her sleeve: "Okay, thank you for keeping it for me, I'll take a look at it when I get home!"

Feng's mother wanted to remind her not to let the emperor see it, but when she thought that her daughter had no romantic feelings for Jiang Jue and that Jiang Jue would not write anything that would embarrass her daughter, she finally did not say it.

"Where's my sister? Why didn't I see her today?"

Speaking of her little daughter, Mother Feng smiled helplessly: "You know your sister is wild, why would she stay at home so obediently? She went on a spring outing with her friends a few days ago!"

Feng Xiyao nodded, feeling a little regretful that she didn't get to meet her nominal sister this time.

By the time Mo Cangyan and Feng Li finished their conversation, it was almost dark.

After finishing their meal at the Prime Minister's Residence, the two of them got on a carriage and headed towards the palace.

At night, the streets are very busy.

Feng Xiyao stuck her head out of the carriage and looked at the various passers-by, the hawkers, and the playful children. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

The next second, her eyes were attracted by a place.

There were a lot of people gathered there, and two of them were picking up boiling molten iron and throwing it hard into the air. Sparks flew everywhere instantly, like a flower suddenly blooming in the night, attracting a lot of attention.

This thing is called Iron Flower. Feng Xiyao remembers having seen it on her mobile phone before.

But what I saw on the phone was far less shocking than what I saw in real life.

She turned around and patted Mo Cangyan: "Your Majesty, let's go down and watch the iron flower show!"

Mo Cangyan was about to refuse, but when he met her delighted and sparkling eyes, he swallowed the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue and said coldly: "If you want to see it, go down and see for yourself!"

"It's lively with so many people, the Emperor is here too!"

Having said that, Feng Xiyao happily pulled him out of the carriage.

Mo Cangyan originally didn't want to watch, but his legs and feet followed her uncontrollably, and then he squeezed past many people and arrived at the scene.

Seeing that it was iron flower, he pursed his lips and looked down at the woman with a curious expression.

Wasn't this possible in her time?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic for Feng Xiyao's previous life. She had never even seen iron flower making. Thinking of how she treasured the things given by his mother, he secretly thought that he would go back and give her some more. After all, she was the queen of Da Xia now and couldn't be so shabby.

Just when Mo Cangyan was thinking about what to give her when he returned, he suddenly felt something flying towards them. He quickly pulled Feng Xiyao into his arms and raised his hand to block the molten iron with his sleeve.
