But at that moment, the eunuch took out several letters from the box. The envelopes were blank, and it was unclear who they were addressed to.
When the emperor opened the envelope and saw its contents, he was completely stunned. His cheeks flushed instantly, whether from anger or something else, it was hard to tell.
Feng Xunjin frowned, sensing something was wrong. He took a step forward and saw the contents of the letter, his face turning green with anger.
This letter wasn't a correspondence with ministers, nor was it filled with flattering words intended for the emperor; rather, it consisted of several love letters. All of these letters were addressed to Wan Ge. However, some of the language used was excessively explicit.
The emperor never expected that his gentle and quiet son would write such a love letter. It was so unlike his appearance!
Although he was in poor health, he was a calm and composed person who thought things through thoroughly.
But... but these few love letters...
Feng Xunxi returned to his palace from outside and saw a group of people standing there, with his father, the Emperor, standing in the middle of the group.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty." Feng Xunxi obediently bowed to him.
"Xi'er, where have you come from?"
Feng Xunxi lowered her head slightly without realizing it, her cheeks flushed. This shy appearance reminded the emperor of the love letter he had just seen: "Did you go to see the Prime Minister's daughter?"
Feng Xunxi and Wan Ge have been close since childhood. After his mother passed away, Wan Ge stayed by his side for a long time to comfort him during his period of grief.
Thinking about it this way, it's quite normal that Feng Xunxi likes Wan Ge.
Looking at her frail son, who seemed ready to collapse at any moment, and who had been relying on medication to stay alive all these years, how could she possibly suspect him of plotting a rebellion?
Now that I've calmed down a bit, I realize that Feng Xunxi would never be the one to rebel. Putting aside his health issues, he's usually a man who doesn't compete with others.
She had actually suspected him based on just a few words from the eunuch, and had come to his palace to search without any investigation.
Feng Xunxi gave a soft "hmm," then looked up and saw her messy palace and the love letter the emperor was holding: "Father, what happened?"
"It's nothing. Father Emperor just feels that this palace is too damp during the rainy season and wants to change your residence." The emperor's words were clearly full of sincerity.
However, Feng Xunxi did not expose him: "Thank you for your grace, Father Emperor, but I am very happy living here. This place holds shared memories with my mother, so I do not want to leave."
When Feng Xunxi mentioned Consort Ling, the Emperor paused for a moment. No matter how much the Empress had tried to please him over the years, a white moonlight was still a white moonlight, especially one that had already passed away; mentioning it would still cause him heartache.
Thinking back to when Consort Ling left, she entrusted her to take good care of Feng Xunxi, but she had ignored him all these years.
"Xi'er, your father has failed you and your mother!" The emperor sighed deeply, then looked at his child and asked earnestly, "Xi'er, is there anything you want? Your father promises you that he will do it."
Feng Xunxi's face flushed red again without his noticing. His skin was already excessively fair, and this blush was all the more obvious: "Your son... Your son wishes to ask Father to grant him a marriage..."
"The Prime Minister's daughter?" The Emperor smiled, instantly guessing who the other party's beloved was.
