Chapter 280 (1/2)

Feng Jin Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Feng Yu Heng, hoping to find a sliver of truth from her eyes. Unfortunately, he was not successful.

“The political parties of the court have been formed for a long time. Do you believe that you can change the factions with just some small tricks?” He angrily scolded Feng Yu Heng, “You have truly underestimated the court.”

Feng Yu Heng laughed, “Since there was no effect on the factions in the court, why has father angrily come to speak with A-Heng about such things? You can just sit back and relax, as you wait for the factions to return to normal.”

“You” The core of what Feng Jin Yuan said had been hit, and he was unable to say anything for a while.

He had been neutral for many years. When he finally decided to join the third prince’s faction, they expected a large number of opponents. There would be those that were out in the open and others who were covert, but no matter how much they planned, they did not plan for Feng Yu Heng. Feng Jin Yuan turned his gaze over towards Xuan Tian Ye, and he was looking back at him. A pair of angry eyes were like a pair of angry dragons, ready to breathe fire at any given time or place, so long as they opened their mouths, they could burn him to ash.

He suddenly stood up and stormed off.

Feng Yu Heng raised the fruit in her hand towards Xuan Tian Ye and gestured cheers. Curling her lips into an evil smile, she then picked up a plate of fruit and handed it to a palace maid at her side: “Bring this plate of fruit to my father. I just saw him take a look at it, so he should quite like them.”

The palace maid did not know the inside story and agreed with a smile. Receiving the plate, she went to find Feng Jin Yuan.

Feng Jin Yuan did not think that a palace maid would send him fruit. At first, he froze before seeing hearing the palace maid say a few words. He then looked towards Feng Yu Heng and saw that daughter of his giving him a playful smile. Like this, she looked like a young girl playing with her father and looked very cute.

Feng Jin Yuan was momentarily at a loss. It was as though he had seen the Feng Yu Heng from her childhood. At that time, this daughter was able to reveal such an innocent expression, and she would later secretly escape from her wetnurse and maidservants then run over to dive into his waist. But at that time, his position within the court was not stable. He was so busy that he even lost track of which way was North. Although he liked this daughter very much, he never had any thoughts of becoming too close.

After that, the older this daughter grew, the colder she became, as she gradually became quite distant.

Even further after that, the incident with the Yao family occurred, and this daughter left and returned to the capital. Now, she had this appearance.

Seeing Feng Yu Heng send someone to deliver fruit, Feng Jin Yuan’s mind was a mess. The face he had was much milder when he looked over once again.

The exchange between this father and daughter was clearly seen by the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye. For a while, the anger in his eyes became even more apparent.

Feng Yu Heng patted Xiang Rong and said to her: “It’s too stuffy in the hall. I’m going out to get some air. When Zi Rui returns in a bit, watch over him. Don’t let him run around anymore.”

Xiang Rong nodded, “Then second sister, be careful and come back quickly.”

“Sure.” Feng Yu Heng stood up and said to Huang Quan: “Stay here. I will go on my own.”

Huang Quan was a bit worried, “Young miss, the imperial palace is different from the Yuan Palace. Ban Zou cannot enter.”

She still remembered the birthday banquet for Xuan Fei Yu that took place in Yuan Palace. Feng Yu Heng had also gone for a walk in the yard outside and chatted with the third prince on her own. At that time, she was not worried because she knew that Ban Zou was hidden away somewhere. Today, however, was different. Ban Zou was not able to enter the imperial palace. If something were to happen to Feng Yu Heng, even ten thousand deaths would be enough to escape punishment!

“It’s fine. I won’t be going far. I will just be standing outside at the entrance for a while. With people coming and going, who can do anything to me.”

“Then… young miss absolutely must not wander off.”

Feng Yu Heng finally left Fei Cui Hall after Huang Quan’s repeated warnings. Seemingly mindlessly, she began strolling around in the square near the hall.

The conversation between her and Feng Jin Yuan should have acted as a provocation for a certain someone. Now that she had come out for air, she trusted that another person would very quickly come out.

As she expected, not long after she went out, the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, also left the hall. She stopped, and Xuan Tian Ye very quickly arrived in front of her.

“Third brother is really fast.”

“Younger sister is smart.”

“Third brother is mistaken in his praise.”

“Speak! What exactly are you thinking of doing?”

Feng Yu Heng smiled. The always steady third prince was finally unable to continue enduring?

“A-Heng does not understand what third brother means.” She looked straight at him, natural and at ease. She did not have any trace of the shyness expected from a girl. The pupils of her eyes were clear and transparent. Nobody was capable of imagining what sort of abnormal thoughts people with this type of eyes had.
