Feng Changye held her fingers that were sliding across his face.
My heart feels numb.
Alas, his queen is trying to fool him again, and is almost making him lose his mind!
He kissed those fingers and said to her, "I feel the same way. Before I fell in love with the Queen, I always thought, what's the point of having a woman? They're just a hindrance. In this life, I'm content to just stay on the throne."
Gazing at her eyes, he said from the bottom of his heart, "Now I realize that the throne can only give me power, it can't give me happiness and warmth."
He said, "Only you, Queen, can give me this happiness and warmth. Only Queen can make me experience what it feels like to have a home."
Zhu Wuhuan was also touched by what he heard.
She was also a homeless person before she traveled through time.
It was also he who brought happiness and warmth to her family.
She held his fingers and whispered, "Your Majesty, please close your eyes for a while and stop talking to me. Doesn't your wound hurt? I'm here to protect you and won't go anywhere."
Feng Changye thought, it was just a minor skin injury, it didn’t hurt at all.
But then he thought, the injured person still had to pretend to be fragile and weak, otherwise the queen would not feel sorry for him.
The more fragile you are, the more people will feel sorry for you.
So he obediently closed his eyes and planned to take a nap.
Zhu Wuhuan waited until he fell asleep, then got up and left quietly.
Pregnant women have their little troubles. She recently started urinating more frequently. Ugh, I need to go and fix it...
After she left, Feng Changye opened his eyes.
He looked at the young eunuch standing by and said, "Let Xie Hong in."
Xie Hong was his trusted guard. He walked in quickly and knelt down to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty." "Yes."
Feng Changye changed from the tenderness he had shown in front of Zhu Wuhuan just now, and appeared cold and majestic.
He signaled all the servants in the hall to leave, then looked at Xie Hong, "How did Feng Yushu bring the dagger in her sleeve into the palace?"
Xie Hong replied, "I have just questioned the two guards who went to pick up the person. They said they drove a carriage to pick him up. When they arrived outside the manor, one of them went inside to escort the person, while the other stayed outside to guard the carriage. Then someone distracted the guards guarding the carriage and helped Feng Yushu secretly hide the dagger in the carriage."
After a pause, Xie Hong said, "Before leaving, Your Majesty instructed us not to expose anyone who wanted to do something secretly, but to play dumb and cooperate with them... So even though the guards noticed that the person who had led him away had ulterior motives, they ignored it."
Feng Changye nodded.
It was indeed he who ordered the guards to do so.
He just wanted to see if someone would use Feng Yushu to assassinate him.
He looked at Xie Hong, "Who do you think is trying to assassinate me?"
Xie Hong said, "I think it must be someone from the Si family. Your Majesty has issued an oral order in the court to deal with the Si family. I'm afraid the Si family is desperate and has jumped over the wall."
Feng Changye looked straight at Xie Hong, "No matter who is behind this, I only want one result - the person who assassinated me this time through Feng Yushu is from the Prince of Jin's Mansion."
Xie Hong suddenly looked up at him!
He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Xie Hong felt a chill down his spine.
The emperor is trying to frame Prince Jin and put him to death!
Although he was not used to this kind of fratricide, as a loyal confidant, he would not disobey the emperor's orders.
He immediately bowed his head respectfully and accepted the order. "I understand. It was Prince Jin who has always harbored rebellious thoughts towards the Emperor and wanted to murder him and seize the throne! This time, it was someone from Prince Jin's Mansion who did it!"
Feng Changye nodded and said, "Go down and handle this matter properly. Don't leave any clues for people to notice."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Hong retreated respectfully.
Feng Changye closed his eyes only after Xie Hong left.
From the moment he decided to meet Feng Yushu today, he had already planned to use this matter to frame King Jin.
The border issue has come to an end. The 40,000 soldiers who were killed by Daning's own people were indeed secretly killed by the King of Jin.
This incident was enough for him to imprison the King of Jin for life.
But, he didn't want confinement...
What he wants is the life of King Jin.
So today, when he heard the Left Prime Minister mention Feng Yushu, the daughter of the former Crown Prince, in the court, he suddenly decided to use Feng Yushu to frame the Prince of Jin and assassinate him...
The murder of 40,000 soldiers at the border, coupled with the assassination of the emperor, made the Prince of Jin a truly heinous and ambitious criminal. If he wanted to kill the Prince of Jin, no one in the court would dare to say anything, and he would never again bear the name of a tyrant.
So, in fact, even if Feng Yushu didn't attack him today, he would keep Feng Yushu in the palace and then find someone to assassinate her...
Outside the main hall.
Zhu Wuhuan had already returned.
She watched Xie Hong leave, then looked at the blue sky, shook her head and chuckled.
Tsk tsk, she thought her tyrant had become a soft-hearted and kind-hearted guy, but it turned out that he was still the cruel and ruthless person.
That's good.
He was kind to his nephews and nieces who did not threaten his position, but he was merciless to those with wicked ambitions. This way, she wouldn't have to worry about him losing the throne one day and taking her and the children to beg for food!
She gently touched her belly and thought to herself, "I, your mother, was born in a peaceful and equal society. I'm a kind and soft-hearted woman who wouldn't dare kill. I can't be so cruel. Alas! But you can learn from your father. Don't be soft-hearted when you need to be cruel. Do you understand?"
"..." In the hall, Feng Changye slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
The two children certainly didn't hear it, but he heard it.
He is very happy.
The reason why he had to wait until she left before asking Xie Hong to come in and do this secretly was because he was afraid that she, a woman who had traveled through time, would not be able to tolerate his cruel and ruthless side. After all, Prince Jin was his biological brother...
He didn't want her to be afraid of him.
In the end, she still caught him.
He was a little worried, but unexpectedly she was not afraid at all and even taught the children to learn from him. At this moment, he felt really happy!
He loves his queen, well, and the children!
…
At the same time, in a warm room not far from the Taiji Hall.
Xiao Yuanzi asked the guards to guard outside, and he took Suqiu and Feng Yushu into the warm room.
He then began to cut the clothes around his abdomen with scissors.
The Empress asked him to show Feng Yushu the injuries on his body, but of course she didn't ask him to take off all his clothes and show them to her. Wouldn't that be offensive to the girl?
Just leave the scar exposed.
But just as he cut twice, revealing a little skin, he saw Suqiu turned around with her back to him.
He looked at Suqiu puzzledly, "Why are you hiding?"
Su Qiu was even more puzzled than he was, "You're a man, do I have to watch you cut your clothes?"
Xiao Yuanzi was stunned.
Then, he lowered his head and whispered, "But, I'm not a man, I'm a eunuch. In this palace, eunuchs are no different from you palace maids..."
