Unfortunately, the Emperor didn't see anything amiss. Even so, he didn't dispel his suspicions; instead, he became even more worried about Feng Changgui.
Three days later, an imperial edict stunned everyone except Lu Qingyan and Feng Changgui.
They couldn't believe their ears. The Emperor would actually pass the throne to the Third Prince, Feng Qingqing, instead of the First Prince, Feng Changgui.
Are you sure this imperial edict is written correctly?
Without prior arrangement, everyone thought of first issuing the imperial edict to confer titles of kings: Ningwang means peace and tranquility; Chen represents the emperor; and Jing means to bring peace and stability to the country.
So it makes sense.
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they would never have guessed that the three titles bestowed by the Emperor were simply circled in order.
Lu Qingyan accepted the imperial edict with a slight toothache, glaring fiercely at Feng Changgui. She had been busy enough in the court lately, and she never expected that Feng Changgui would give her such an important task.
The observant ministers noticed the exchange between Lu Qingyan and Feng Changgui, assuming it was Prince Jing provoking Prince Chen. They had no desire to get involved in the conflict between the two princes and quickly found an excuse to slip away.
"Qingqing, are you surprised?" Feng Changgui did not call Lu Qingyan "Third Brother" affectionately, but called her by the original owner's name.
At first, Lu Qingyan didn't realize it, but she noticed the surprise in Feng Changgui's voice: "What does this mean, brother? Is this what you were thinking?"
"Yes," Feng Changgui readily admitted.
Lu Qingyan shook her head: "If this were what I wanted, it would certainly be a pleasant surprise. But since this isn't what I wanted, there's only surprise, no joy."
Feng Changgui felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly reached out to hug Lu Qingyan: "Qingqing."
Lu Qingyan felt her heart skip a beat, but she kept a straight face and said, "Brother, what you're doing is against etiquette."
"Qingqing, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not, but we've come this far, and I still don't want to keep everything bottled up inside. Qingqing, I love you." After saying this, Feng Changgui, afraid that Lu Qingyan might say something to reject him, immediately reached out and covered her mouth with his hand: "I know, I know that such thoughts are disgusting. But Qingqing, you can reject me, but you can't hate me, and you can't despise me. Qingqing, promise me, okay?"
Seeing his nervous expression, Lu Qingyan felt a pang of sadness, her throat went dry, and she looked up with a bright smile, but her vision blurred: "Big brother, why do you think I won't accept it?"
It was just a title to begin with. Feng Qingqing is not a member of the Feng family and should not be sitting in this position. Feng Changgui is the most suitable candidate.
If she can bear a child for Feng Changgui, then this can be considered a perfect ending.
Both emotionally and rationally, it tells Lu Qingyan that she made the right decision.
Lu Qingyan thought with a wicked sense of humor, wondering what kind of expression Feng Changgui would have after learning the truth. She was actually looking forward to it.
However, Feng Changgui always felt that he and his third brother were blood brothers. Although they were already in love, he still felt a little embarrassed to be intimate. So, no matter how much Lu Qingyan flirted with him, Feng Changgui didn't respond at all, which made Lu Qingyan wonder if Feng Changgui had some kind of indescribable problem with his body.
