Upon hearing the voice, Feng Gan's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Feng Huan! It was you! You must have done this to me, right?"
A young man dressed in a light blue gauze robe, holding a folding fan with a landscape painting, and sporting a dragon-whisker-like hairstyle, slowly entered from outside the palace gate.
Like Feng Nanqi and Feng Gan, Feng Huan also had a wheat-colored complexion, deep-set features, and a handsome face.
Originally, he was a rugged and sunny man from Xiqiu.
Ironically, waving a folding fan and sporting a fringe, he looked somewhat out of place.
He's clearly a tough guy, yet he has an ethereal, otherworldly air about him...
Feng Huan entered the hall, first paying his respects to the emperor, then raising his folding fan, bowing and saying, "Feng Huan greets you."
After he finished speaking, he stood up straight, head held high, his bangs fluttering in the wind.
Feng Gan was furious: "Feng Huan!"
Feng Huan then lowered his eyes, fanning himself, and said, "Elder brother, it's early in the morning, don't get angry, it's not good for your health."
Feng Gan, suppressing his anger, asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty, I've come to see Father." Feng Huan looked at Feng Nanqi: "Father, are you feeling better today?"
"Um."
Feng Nanqi stopped coughing and gave a nonchalant reply.
Feng Huan nodded and looked at Feng Xun, "Third brother, it's been many years since we last met, you've grown quite a bit."
Feng Xun nodded politely but distantly: "Second Imperial Brother has become even more handsome."
Feng Huan waved his folding fan, revealing a self-proclaimed dashing smile: "Distinguished guest of Great Qi, you must be tired from your long journey."
Yesterday, I intended to greet you all, but unfortunately, my father was unwell and gave me some instructions.
Surely, my eldest brother has taken good care of everyone?
good!
very good!
They eat flatbread and drink soup at every meal!
Yuan Yao pursed her lips.
This second prince of Xiqiu is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Moreover, this Feng Huan is also arrogant.
However, he was a bit smarter than Feng Gan...
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Whether it's good or not, we don't need to say more. I think the Second Prince already knows."
Upon hearing this, Feng Huan flicked his bangs.
He slowly fanned himself and said, "Father, I heard that as soon as the distinguished guest from Great Qi arrived, my eldest brother invited him into the Jingyue Pavilion."
Thirty to fifty people were stationed to guard the place, inside and out, and not even a fly could get in.
My eldest brother is very thorough in his work. I imagine that when the Emperor of Qi and the Ninth Prince find out, they will praise him for his meticulousness.
"Father, I believe that Your Majesty should reward my eldest brother!"
Feng Huan spoke with great enthusiasm and sincerity.
Feng Gan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
At this moment, Xie Zhi spoke up: "Phoenix, what the Second Prince said makes a lot of sense!"
The luggage we brought from Daqi should have arrived at Jingyue Pavilion by now, right?
"We'll go back in a moment, retrieve the gifts, and present them to His Highness to thank him for his kindness yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Feng Nanqi looked down at Xie Zhi from his high position.
Just now, after entering the main hall, the group of children from Daqi introduced themselves one by one.
This Xie Zhi is quite a talent.
Intelligent and courageous.
Feng Nanqi looked at Feng Gan: "If anything is missing, I will hold you responsible."
Feng Gan gritted his teeth: "Yes..."
What went into his mouth, he never expected, would one day be spat out!
Seeing Feng Gan's displeased expression, Feng Huan laughed heartily: "Father, there are also rewards."
reward?
Feng Nanqi coughed lightly and asked, "What do you think I should do to reward you?"
Feng Huan stroked his dragon-beard bangs and said with a smile, "Father, my eldest brother has been of legal age for two years, but he has not yet married."
Your Majesty, I think you should take this opportunity to bestow a marriage upon my elder brother.
"A marriage decree?" Feng Nanqi glanced at Feng Gan and continued to ask Feng Huan, "Do you have any candidates to recommend?"
"Well..." Feng Huan's eyes darted around.
Feng Nanqi frowned slightly: "Speak freely!"
Feng Huan closed the fan, gripped the handle with both hands, and bowed, saying, "Father, the whole of Cangxue City has heard about what happened to my eldest brother last night."
Your subject believes that a man should be responsible for his words and actions.
Since the eldest prince has taken another's body, he should take responsibility for her.
The man's surname was Long, his given name was Tong, and he came from a respectable family.
The Long family has important officials in the court; marrying him would be a good way to appease the Long family…
Yuan Yao: "???"
Everyone: "???"
Yuan Yao was shocked.
Last night, when she was planning to spread rumors about her homosexual relationship with Feng, she never imagined this would happen!
This Feng Huan is even more daring than her!
Should Fenggan marry a man?
That's incredibly audacious!
There wasn't even a whisper of wind inside the main hall.
It took Feng Gan a long while to recover from his shock.
Coming to her senses, Feng Gan stood up, her legs trembling, and lunged at Feng Huan: "It was you! You were the one who ruined me last night!"
Give me back my beard, give me back my innocence…
As he spoke, he reached into his waistband, intending to pull out a curved dagger.
A flash of cold light.
On the dragon throne, Feng Nanqi was the first to see the flash of the blade: "Guards! Seize Feng Gan at once!"
The palace servants nearby were still in shock.
Xie Zhi reacted quickly, flashing past in a flash.
At this moment, the blade was already touching Feng Huan's neck...
Xie Zhi didn't think much and caught the knife with his bare hands.
With a clang, the blood-stained dagger fell to the ground.
"Hiss..." Xie Zhi gasped.
Blood gushed out from his palm.
Soon, the ground was covered in red.
Seeing the bright red blood, Yuan Yao felt a chill run down her spine and quickly said, "Xie Zhi, quickly tighten your grip on the wrist artery!"
"I'll do it!" Lin Xuan strode forward, tore off a corner of his robe, and tied it to Xie Zhi's hand.
The others, lacking experience, could only watch nervously.
Feng Nanqi frowned deeply: "Summon the Imperial Physician!"
The farce ended with Feng Gan being tied up.
Xie Zhi was given a seat.
The elderly imperial physician cleaned his wound, applied some turmeric-colored medicinal powder, bandaged it, and then instructed him:
Fortunately, no tendons were severed; otherwise, His Highness's hand would have been ruined.
It's best to avoid getting it wet for at least two weeks, and remember to change the dressing daily.
Xie Zhi, being a carefree person, asked the imperial physician upon hearing this, "Not touching water? What should I do when I take a bath?"
Lin Xuan sneered from the side: "Not taking a bath for half a month won't kill you! When you were on the battlefield, you didn't take a bath even once a month, did you?"
"You..." Xie Zhi laughed: "Lin Xuan, don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation."
Even I, the heir apparent, have my pride.
"What if, because of your constant blabbing, I, the young master, can't find a wife in the future? I'll hold you accountable!"
After saying that, he smiled and glanced at Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao: "?"
Why are you looking at her?
Yuan Yao glared at Xie Zhi with disdain and anger.
Let you act like a hero!
You deserve to be filthy!
Catching a knife with his bare hands? How could he even think of that!
That Feng Gan is much stronger than him!
Speechless!
After being glared at by Yuan Yao, Xie Zhi suddenly pursed his lips and seized the opportunity to play the victim: "Little Yao'er, my wound hurts so much..."
Yuan Yao: "..."
She said irritably, "It hurts, doesn't it!"
"It really hurts." Xie Zhi beckoned to her: "Come here, blow on it for me, and maybe it won't hurt anymore."
Yuan Yao: "???"
What kind of unreasonable demand is this?
