Feng Guang bit her finger. She had transmigrated into the body of someone with the same name and surname. This body even looked the same as her previous one. That was fate. No matter how she thought about it, it was wrong of her to occupy someone else's body. Of course, she had to do something to make amends so that her conscience could be at ease.
She stood up from the stool. "Feiyu, spread the word that the Crown Princess is seriously ill and on her last breath. Before she died, she kept calling out His Highness the Crown Prince's name, wishing only to see him one last time."
"Miss!" Fei Yu strongly objected, "You're perfectly fine, why would you curse yourself!"
Fengguang tapped Feiyu's forehead, "Are you the young lady, or am I the young lady? Do as I say."
“Yes…Miss…” Fei Yu pouted, feeling wronged.
"As for you..." Feng Guang looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, "You were very popular in the palace?"
Yi Ren: "Your Highness, I think I'm fairly well-liked..."
"Then can you leave the palace?"
“This servant has a token that allows me to leave the palace once a month to visit my family.”
"Alright, once you leave the palace, go to the Prime Minister's residence, find my father, and tell him I'm dying."
"Yes." Although she had some doubts, she agreed quickly.
The news of the Crown Princess's serious illness spread throughout the palace within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The Crown Princess forbade the imperial physicians from visiting her, and although she was delirious, she kept muttering the Crown Prince's name. She was barely breathing.
The prime minister rushed into the palace to visit his daughter, who was lying on the sickbed barely breathing, without even having time to put on his court robes. His heart jumped into his throat the moment he saw her.
“Feng Guang…” Xia Chao rushed to the bedside and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Fei Yu, where is the imperial physician!”
Xia Chao roared at Fei Yu.
Jade shuddered.
"Father..." Feng Guang's face was pale, and her words were intermittent, "I'm afraid I won't live much longer... I want... to see the Crown Prince before I go, I want to see him..."
"Fengguang, don't talk nonsense. Your father only received news yesterday that you had woken up from your coma. How could you suddenly become seriously ill again?"
Prime Minister Xia Chao was a refined middle-aged man. In the past, he and his wife were deeply in love, but in a moment of confusion, he made a mistake that all men make. After his concubine entered the household, his wife died of depression. Xia Chao felt guilty and therefore treated Feng Guang even better.
"Father... I think I'm having a final burst of energy before death... I have no other wish but... I just want to see the Crown Prince one more time..." Feng Guang said weakly, admiring her own acting skills from the bottom of her heart.
"Alright, alright, I'll go fetch the Crown Prince. You wait for me to return."
"Um……"
Xia Chao dared not linger and hurriedly left the East Palace to find the Emperor in the Imperial Study.
As soon as the person left, Feng Guang quickly sat up in bed. "Looks like my dad treats me pretty well."
"Miss... what are you doing?" Fei Yu asked, looking completely bewildered.
Feng Guang said helplessly, "Why does His Majesty insist on keeping such a serious crime as treason a secret from the people of the Eastern Palace?"
"Why?"
"Because he doesn't want the people in our Eastern Palace to know." Feng Guang patted Fei Yu's forehead.
Fei Yu rubbed her forehead in frustration, "What kind of answer is this?"
"His Majesty doesn't want the people in the Eastern Palace to know, most likely because they could ruin his grand plans. If you count all the people in the Eastern Palace, besides me, who else has that ability?"
Jadeite: "Huh?"
"Didn't I ask you this before? His Majesty was able to ascend the throne because of my father's help back then. They grew up together and were like brothers in private, with a very close relationship. Now, in addition, my father is the prime minister and controls the military power on the western border. I am the prime minister's most beloved daughter. Tell me, how can His Majesty disregard my existence?"
