Yangju Hall.
"Junheng".
Fu Junheng turned around, looked at Feng Guche who had entered, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and called out, "Uncle."
Feng Guche stepped forward and took Fu Junheng's hands in his own. "Let's skip the formalities of being uncle and nephew. Come, sit here."
Fu Junheng sat down on the stool next to him.
"Junheng, what brings you to see me so early in the morning?"
“I thought my uncle would definitely have some questions for me, so I came.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Guche chuckled a few times. "You guessed right. Last night, your uncle thought about it over and over again, but he really couldn't figure it out. Tell me honestly, do you and Princess Weiyang have an affair?"
Feng Guche asked earnestly.
Fu Junheng replied, "What I said yesterday was all from the bottom of my heart, otherwise I would not have offered such a great benefit in exchange for your Dragon Blood Ginseng, Uncle."
Feng Guche's eyes darkened. "If you need to, just tell your uncle directly. Why would she risk being accused of deceiving the emperor to steal?!"
“It wasn’t her who went to steal; it was my nephew. This was out of necessity. Uncle probably doesn’t know that Shen Shuang lost her internal strength due to poisoning. The longer the toxin remains in her body, the more detrimental it is to her health.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Guche asked in surprise, "Poisoned? When did this happen?"
“I am not clear about this matter yet. Dragon Blood Ginseng can cure all poisons, but Feng Ji said he could not guarantee that it would work for her, so I would like to find out first.”
Although you, Uncle, will grant my every wish, how could I possibly ask for such precious medicinal herbs? Wouldn't that create a rift between you and the Crown Prince and the other princes? More importantly, I also have some concerns…”
Fu Junheng paused here, looking troubled, and said, "I was worried that you would find out about my affair with Princess Weiyang, so I resorted to this tactic. I originally planned to tell you the truth afterward, but I didn't expect you to find out anyway. Looking at it this way, it would have been better to tell you the truth from the beginning, so that everyone wouldn't have to speculate."
Feng Guche raised his hand, pointed at Fu Junheng, and said with a hint of amusement, "There are still things in this world that you can't control!"
Fu Junheng smiled faintly, "Of course, I'm not a god, I can't foresee everything."
"So you really like Mu Chenshuang."
Fu Junheng said in a deep voice, "I don't know what liking someone means. I just want her to be safe and sound and I don't want to see her being bullied."
Feng Guche smiled, "What else could this be but liking? I thought Ji'er had feelings for her, but I didn't expect it to be you, you brat."
Fu Junheng remained silent and did not respond.
"So, if anything happens to her, you'll definitely protect her."
"Of course, she doesn't care whether her nephew cares or not. Her nephew just wants to do what he feels he should do."
Feng Guche lowered his eyes, his expression somewhat solemn. "But what you said last night will inevitably lead people to speculate that Mu Chenshuang's behavior violates the virtues of a woman."
“I invited her here because of the Dragon Blood Ginseng. We haven’t done anything wrong, so how can you say she’s not a virtuous woman? If people outside are making up stories, wouldn’t that be a slander against Princess Weiyang? If I am truly wrong, I am willing to take all the blame and do not want to implicate the innocent.”
Feng Guche's expression darkened. "Now that Princess Weiyang and the Crown Prince are no longer destined to be together, do you intend to ask me for her hand in marriage?"
"The matter of marriage is of great importance, and besides, Princess Weiyang may not necessarily like my nephew. It all depends on fate, and I will not force it," Fu Junheng replied calmly.
These words instantly softened Feng Guche's expression. "Are there really people in this world who don't like you? Hahaha..."
"The way you're saying that, Uncle, makes it sound like every woman in the world would like me."
Feng Guche simply smiled, then sighed, "The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have indeed never been on good terms. Let them divorce then. I will issue an edict to put this matter to rest!"
"Thank you, Uncle."
at this time.
Feng Guche's oral decree arrived at the Eastern Palace beforehand.
After hearing her father-in-law's words, Feng Xilan replied, "Your subject will obey Your Majesty's decree."
He then stood up and reached out to help Xiao Qingyu up.
After delivering the imperial edict, the eunuch left the Eastern Palace.
"Your Highness, it seems that Father Emperor is still thinking of you." Xiao Qingyu said softly.
She was extremely smug inside, thinking, "Mu Chenshuang, just wait to be despised by everyone!"
Feng Xilan said nothing, but looked at the eunuch beside her and coldly ordered, "Send the letter of divorce to the Marquis's residence."
"yes!"
