After all, Fengming played outside the palace for too long. When he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Eunuch Li as expected.
When Fengming was eight years old, she left the palace to attend the Spring Festival, but accidentally encountered a fire in Huafa Temple, which caused a large number of tourists to trample and crowd. Several guards could not withstand the kinetic energy of the crowd and failed to take good care of Fengming, and Fengming disappeared.
During that period, the capital was in turmoil due to a beggar-hunting incident, and more than ten children had been lost. When the news of Fengming's disappearance reached the palace, the emperor and empress were furious and issued a death order that Fengming must be found safely within an hour, otherwise all the leaders of the city defense troops would be beheaded.
Fengming was indeed kidnapped by human traffickers that time. Originally, the human trafficking gang would not easily provoke someone like Fengming, whose appearance and dress made it obvious that he was the child of a powerful family. However, Fengming's excellent appearance and the chaos caused by the fire made the human trafficking gang finally decide to take the risk.
They deliberately squeezed Fengming and the guards away, knocked Fengming unconscious during the chaos, and took him back to the den where they were holding the abducted children.
But before the human trafficking gang could rejoice for long, their entire den was surrounded by a large group of officers and soldiers. The confused people were beaten into pig-like faces before they could disperse.
Of these, Lord You of the City Defense Division kicked the hardest. Although Fengming was found safely and his head was saved, he feared he would lose his official hat. He was able to retire safely and return home to retire thanks to his ancestors; he might have been exiled. You could have provoked anyone else, but you dared to provoke the beloved of the Emperor and Empress. You're not afraid of death, but I am.
The more Lord You thought about it, the angrier he became and the harder he hit. If his men hadn't seen the situation and stopped them, those human traffickers might have been beaten to death on the spot.
Fengming reacted as soon as the drugged handkerchief was covered over his nose, and he held his breath in an emergency, so he was only knocked unconscious for a short time. He woke up on the way to the human trafficking den.
The calmness she had acquired in her previous life allowed her to quickly understand the situation she was in. She pretended to be unconscious while carefully dropping various small objects in an attempt to leave clues.
Fengming knew that the guards would soon discover that he was missing, and the Emperor and Empress would surely order a massive search. He had to make sure he was found as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in big trouble if the human trafficking gang was alerted and silenced.
The people from the City Defense Forces were indeed able to find Fengming so quickly with the help of the object that Fengming deliberately dropped.
Fengming's rescue also helped several children who had been abducted before. The Dali Temple followed the clues and cracked a larger human trafficking case. Fengming's narrow escape from being kidnapped also helped many people invisibly.
But these had nothing to do with Fengming anymore. After being rescued, Fengming was immediately sent back to the palace under strict guard. He received 360-degree care from the emperor and empress. The imperial physician also arranged for him to take medicated food for a month. The most serious thing was that he was confined to the palace for a year and was not allowed to leave the palace at will. The emperor and empress felt that they really could not bear another shock.
Even when he was at Tushan Academy that year, there were twice as many secret guards guarding closely every day. Later, Fengming had to work hard for a long time before he finally withdrew half of the secret guards. Being under strict protection and surveillance was really uncomfortable.
This kidnapping incident also caused Fengming to be confined to the palace earlier than the other princes and princesses. If she was a little late, she would be caught by Eunuch Li at the palace gate when she returned to the palace and would be criticized and educated by the emperor.
I didn't escape it today. Although I had a delicious meal at noon and pleased the emperor, I still couldn't escape the criticism for coming home late. Alas.
After being scolded by her father the emperor and having dinner with him in a coquettish and silly manner, Fengming was sent back to the Weiyang Palace.
When Fengming returned to Weiyang Palace, he found that Aunt Fang Wu was already waiting there. She kindly conveyed the Queen's "earnest concern" and the notice that the palace would be under confinement even earlier in the future. Fengming was really...desperate.
"I will never play around again, ahhhhhhhh!!!" As soon as Aunt Fangwu left, Fengming wailed and collapsed on the bed. It was fun to play around for a while, but he burst into tears when he was scolded!
…
Feng Ming slumped on the bed with a look of world-weariness on his face. Bi Chun came in and reported, "Princess, Mao Yu has delivered the results of the investigation into the situation at the Wuwei General's Mansion. Xin Wu has also sent someone with tomorrow's sample issue, and they're waiting for your approval."
The girls around him were used to Fengming's occasional depression. They used to show some concern, but now they just ignored it. Anyway, Fengming would be able to revive as long as there was something important.
As expected, upon hearing the two things that concerned him most today, Fengming flipped over and sat up, "Ouch!" He felt a little dizzy because he stood up too quickly.
"Hurry up and bring me the results of the investigation... Wait, I'll go see Xin Wu first. The sooner I finish, the more time I have to spend so she can go back and rest." Feng Ming said as he put on his shoes. The pink furry leather slippers were fluffy and soft, much more comfortable than the clogs he wore before.
When Fengming was a child, the Daqing Dynasty nobles wore thick socks in winter and wooden clogs in summer for indoor activities, neither of which suited Fengming's taste. So, when she was a little older, she had the weaving workshop make furry slippers to her liking. These slippers were given to the emperor, empress, and the concubines in the harem, and eventually spread from the royal family to the common people.
Fengming discovered the furry market and made a batch of cute plush cats, dogs, crocodiles, turtles, teddy bears, pigs and the like. They were very popular among the ladies and gained a lot of favorability.
Fengming naturally kept many of the cutest ones in her own palace. She picked up a teddy bear and walked to the dedicated conference room next door. Xin Wu had already been waiting there, and sample magazines were spread out on the table.
"Good evening, Xin Wuyong, have you had dinner yet? Would you like some snacks?" Fengming is particularly satisfied with one thing in his life. He has a physique that allows him to eat without gaining weight. There are no fat people in the royal family. He can eat whatever he wants and won't gain weight.
Xin Wu just smiled calmly: "Princess, please eat. I came to the palace after dinner."
"Well, you really have missed a lot. You should enjoy your life and don't always put such a heavy burden on yourself." Feng Ming put down the doll in his hand, walked to the table and began to look at the sample magazine.
After hearing Feng Ming's words, Xin Wu just lowered his head and smiled bitterly. His right hand subconsciously pinched his left wrist, where there was a deep scar.
Feng Ming, seemingly focused, was actually watching Xin Wu. Seeing her equally helpless, she knew the burden she carried was too heavy. Perhaps only when her goal was achieved would she be able to enjoy snacks, tea, and conversation with him, doing what a normal twenty-something girl should do, instead of being surrounded by a thick gloom like now.
She is so beautiful, but her red lips and white teeth are always tightly pursed and she never smiles. Her eyes are filled with sadness, which makes me feel sad when I see her.
Feng Ming would occasionally try to persuade Xin Wu with other things, but now that it only brought back painful memories for her, he quickly changed the subject: "Xin Wu, I think the layout here isn't very good. Come over and discuss it with us."
Sure enough, Xin Wu put away his sadness and lowered his head to look carefully at the problem pointed out by Feng Ming.
