"Okay, you don't have to be so dedicated in front of me."
Fei Wan interrupted him.
Ling Wu chuckled:
"That won't work. The Regent might be watching from somewhere, Your Majesty, you can't let your guard down. But..."
He changed the subject again: "She sent someone to contact Ling Wu again. This time, she wants to sow discord between His Majesty and Prince Qi."
When Ling Wu talked about serious matters, he stopped laughing and turned serious, looking at Fei Wan:
"From what Ling Wu knows, judging by her tone, she seems quite certain, though she hasn't explicitly stated it. Prince Qi... must be leaning in this direction. So, Your Majesty, you should keep an eye on Prince Qi's movements."
Feng Qili?
Fei Wan's first reaction was not that Feng Qili had betrayed her, but to carefully search her memory to find out the truth.
She did remember that Feng Qili had told her a few days ago that someone was alienating them, and Feng Qili had also confessed to her that he had agreed to this matter.
Although Feng Qili seems unreliable, he actually knows his limits and knows what to do and what not to do.
Moreover, according to her private understanding, Feng Qili and Gu Linghuan are very good friends. If Feng Qili has any unusual behavior, Gu Linghuan should be able to notice it and tell Gu Ruozhao at the first time.
only……
Gu Linghuan seemed to have always had something against her.
However, on such a major matter, even if Gu Linghuan disliked her, he would tell him for Gu Ruozhao's sake.
"There's one more thing Ling Wu feels I should tell you. They'll probably be gone for a while."
Fei Wan mused, "They actually told you this?"
Ling Wu smiled and shook his head. "How could that be? This is just Ling Wu's guess. They used to arrange a date for the next meeting with Ling Wu, but this time it's still to be determined."
"Perhaps he was distracted by something, or perhaps he needed to leave the capital to shift his attention to other matters. The former is unlikely since Your Majesty has not taken any action, so it must be the latter."
Feng Jinlin’s people left the capital... ?
"How could they be so confident? Do they really think I can't find out?"
They found Ling Wu in her country. Since they had no intention of searching for her, they could only assume something was hidden there. Their destination after leaving the capital this time was most likely there as well.
Fei Wan raised his eyes: "I remember... you are from Yue Kingdom?"
…
Yue State...
As soon as Fei Wan returned, he asked Wu Tong to move all the information about the Yue Kingdom to his bedroom. From bamboo slips to books, Fei Wan left nothing behind.
Yue and Fengming were both countries that respected women. In fact, there was not much difference between men and women, but there seemed to be a legend that if a man was allowed to become emperor, the mountains and rivers would be destroyed and the people would suffer.
Someone who defied Heaven did so and was indeed punished. People after that dared not do it again, and so the tradition of women becoming emperors continued.
The supremacy of women was also something that every empress had deliberately created from the very beginning. Over time, the status of men became increasingly low, leading to the current situation.
Fengming had set a precedent by allowing men to serve as officials, a practice not seen in other countries.
But Fengming not only has Gu Ruozhao, but also...
A male general many years ago.
At that time, the late emperor was just a princess and had not yet become an emperor.
Coincidentally, Fengming's connection with the Kingdom of Yue in recent years was through this male general.
Fei Wan's fingers stroked the pages of the book, and his fingertips rested on a line of words.
This male general's name is Qi Xiu.
