This sixth prince is no pushover either. He came to me for two reasons: first, to test my reaction and see if I knew the inside story; second, to show off, since as long as those two aren't around, he'll definitely become the emperor's most favored child.
However, he was still a bit too inexperienced; anyone who paid attention could see right through him.
Lu Qingyan was somewhat surprised that the news had spread so quickly. When she asked Su Han, she learned that after she got the two little ones out, they had fallen into a wolf's den.
That's no good place; it's a place where people are used for drug testing.
Lu Qingyan: "..."
She truly didn't mean it. Who could have imagined it would be so dangerous outside? She hadn't let them go far; they could have returned after just a few steps. But the government is supposed to be clean and efficient under the emperor's nose, how could something like this have happened?
Fortunately, Feng Changgui was no pushover, and after some effort, he managed to find the two of them.
Although they were frightened, they weren't seriously injured, which reassured Lu Qingyan considerably. She only wanted to teach these two unruly children a lesson; she didn't really intend to do anything to them.
After this incident, Feng Changgui was very upset and came to Lu Qingyan that night to confide in her.
"Third brother, who do you think did this? Fourth brother and fifth brother are still just children, and someone actually laid a hand on them." Feng Changgui frowned, his expression uneasy. "Fortunately, I arrived in time this time and saved them. But what if something like this happens again, and again after that?"
"Big brother." Lu Qingyan couldn't bear to see him in pain, so she stepped forward to comfort him, "Big brother, this isn't your fault. Maintaining order in the capital wasn't originally your responsibility either. It's normal that you're not used to it after only being back for a few days."
“But I can’t forgive myself,” Feng Changgui said, her eyes red.
Having grown accustomed to the success of his time on the frontier, Feng Changgui returned to the capital full of vigor, but this was the first setback he encountered.
“Big brother, you’ve already tried your best.” Lu Qingyan smiled at him. “Big brother has been away from home for too long. Perhaps it’s because you can’t integrate into the capital city for a while. Can you tolerate even the harshest things people say?”
"Third brother, I don't care what others say. I just hope I never have to encounter such people or such things again." Feng Changgui said in horror, "If it weren't for the fact that so many people were arrested, I really wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a gray area in the capital."
Now that the crisis is over, I only hope that each of you can return to your original lives and thrive.
Lu Qingyan felt that a new world had opened up for her. She thought she could start a life of chivalry, robbing the rich to help the poor.
Feng Changgui chattered on and on, even discussing the future development of the dynasty with Lu Qingyan.
This matter was probably too profound for Lu Qingyan to understand very well, but as she listened, she felt that Feng Changgui truly had the heart of a benevolent ruler.
Uh, is this guy really not here to win over any factions? The way she looks at it, it seems like Feng Changgui is trying to poach her.
And it seems she's gotten herself into trouble? Lu Qingyan shook her head.
Feng Changgui had a pot of fine wine brought over and invited Lu Qingyan, saying, "Would you like to have a few drinks? This wine tastes authentic; it's a rare delicacy."
