Feiyu suddenly realized, "Ah, Miss, you mean His Majesty is afraid you'll plead with the Prime Minister, so he wants to quickly deal with the Crown Prince... But, that doesn't make sense..."
"What's wrong?"
“His Highness the Crown Prince was born to the late Empress and was His Majesty’s first child. How could His Majesty… Miss, even a tiger wouldn’t eat its own cubs.”
Feng Guang rolled his eyes. "This is the royal family. Where does all this kinship come from? Throughout history, how many crown princes have actually made it to the end? Are you stupid?"
"But...but..." Fei Yu hesitated for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence. From childhood to adulthood, she had never been able to win against Feng Guang.
As Fei Yu's worries faded, she got out of bed, picked up a pastry from the table, and filled her stomach while passing the time.
The prime minister returned not long after he left, and as expected, he brought another man with him.
As soon as he entered the room, Xia Chao went straight to Feng Guang's bedside. Fortunately, Feng Guang reacted quickly and had already put down the pastries and rushed back to the bed. Wiping the pastry crumbs from her mouth, she looked pitiful again, as if she was about to die.
"Daughter, Father has brought the Crown Prince back. Look."
“Crown Prince…” Feng Guang forced open his eyes.
The man not far away remained silent for a few seconds before walking forward, and only then could Feng Guang, who was nearsighted, see his appearance clearly.
The light streaming in from the window seemed to drape him in a thin veil, making him appear elegant and refined. He looked to be around thirty years old, with a handsome face and a quiet and gentle demeanor, giving off an air of detachment from worldly affairs. However, it was a pity that such a person was mute, and the bloodstains on his clothes marred his beauty.
Baili Mo, the Crown Prince of Dawei Kingdom, is also the first mute crown prince in history. It is said that he was not mute when he was a child, but became mute after suffering a serious illness. Back then, some ministers advised and jointly requested His Majesty to revoke Baili Mo's status as crown prince, but His Majesty was determined to do so. Even when the ministers threatened to resign, His Majesty did not waver. So how could there be a case of the crown prince plotting a rebellion now?
Feng Guang blinked in confusion.
She wondered if this man was the one she was looking for.
Baili Mo came to the bedside. He couldn't speak, so he could only quietly look at Feng Guang. He couldn't speak, but his eyes were clear and transparent. Being stared at by him was like being naked and being seen through. Gradually, Feng Guang felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
“Your Highness…” Feng Guang reached out and grabbed his sleeve, smiling weakly, “Seeing you… I am relieved.”
He paused slightly, then slowly took her hand in his.
Feng Guang's hand trembled involuntarily.
Xia Chao hurriedly asked, "Feng Guang, are you feeling any better?"
"I feel much better now that I've seen Your Highness... Father, I heard that His Majesty had something to discuss with Your Highness before keeping you here, but... I've been feeling unwell lately and I really miss Your Highness. Could, could Your Highness stay with me for a few more days?" As she finished speaking, a blush crept onto her face.
Xia Chao automatically assumed that the color returning to her face was proof that her health was improving, so how could he not agree?
"Don't worry, Fengguang. I'll handle things with His Majesty. If you like His Highness the Crown Prince to accompany you, then let him. Don't overthink it, and just take good care of yourself."
Feng Guang obediently replied, "Yes, my daughter knows."
