Chapter 619 (2/2)

Xiang Rong rolled her eyes, “What’s the point of saying such grand words. Where is there any hope of you regaining your position as a prince. Stop dreaming.” She became accustomed to speaking with Xuan Tian Yi; however, she did not notice the fierce look that had flashed through Xuan Tian Yi’s eyes when he had spoken. She waved her hand, “There’s no point in cursing at you. It seems that I won’t just need to make reparations for that Sichuan brocade, I will also need to personally kneel before their manor to beg forgiveness. I really have been screwed over by you.”

As she spoke, she began to walk out; however, she heard Xuan Tian Yi raise his voice to say: “It’s fine. Don’t worry about it too much. Da Shun’s left prime minister has never had a good ending. If you don’t believe it, just wait and see!”

“Madman.” Xiang Rong became even angrier, and she left even faster.

When Xuan Tian Yi watched the small figure leave the room, a hint of distress appeared in his heart. This feeling was so faint that he could not even grasp it. It was without feeling. He just felt that her figure was very small. She was clearly someone with a weak personality, but she would always appear strong and fierce before him. To use the words that Xiang Rong had once said: A master should have a master’s appearance. He felt that this girl was very entertaining, as she very seriously obeyed the Emperor’s orders to teach him embroidery, and she really managed to teach the prince of a country how to pick up an embroidering needle and spend an entire day working on embroidery.

Xuan Tian Yi also did not understand why he felt compelled to punish the second young miss of the new prime minister’s manor. It was just that a fierce anger had appeared in his chest when he heard that Feng Xiang Rong had been ordered around like an embroiderer. The pair of common ducks were nothing more than a bit of a punishment. If that second young miss really had Xiang Rong kneel to beg for forgiveness, it was unavoidable that he would need to make use of some people that he had not used to take care of them.

At this time, an attendant quickly entered and stood before him, saying: “Your Highness, his Highness the ninth prince and imperial daughter Ji An have returned to the capital.”

“Oh?” Xuan Tian Yi’s eyes lit up, “They’ve returned so quickly? That’s also good. With her back, that Xiang Rong’s matters won’t require this prince to act. It’s also that new prime minister’s misfortune. Of all the people to offend, they insisted on offending the younger sister that imperial daughter Ji An protects. They really… were courting death!”

“If I was to say it, it was Qian Zhou that courted death!” Inside Heavenly Hall, the Emperor kept Xuan Tian Ming and Feng Yu Heng behind to eat dinner. During this meal, he drank some wine and began launching another wave of criticism toward Qian Zhou’s imperial family. He then lamented: “It’s a pity for Qian Zhou’s citizens! It was also a pity for Qian Zhou’s Prince Lian. A perfectly fine young boy a forced to become a girl. Isn’t this a grave sin?” He said to Feng Yu Heng: “You can give him some proper treatment. In regards to this sort of young fellow that took the initiative to hand over a city and troops, our Da Shun must repay him properly.”

A single meal lasted over two hours before the two were chased from Heavenly Hall by the Emperor. The reason that they were chased out in such a rush was that he had his own thoughts: “Go and see your imperial concubine mother! She did not see Us during new year’s celebrations, she did not see Us during the Spring, she did not see Us during the Summer, and it’s about to be Fall, yet she still does not see Us. I really don’t know what she’s thinking.”

Xuan Tian Ming did not like attacking him. She hasn’t seen you in many years. This isn’t the first or second time. What are you feeling conflicted about!

But he still brought Feng Yu Heng over to Winter Moon Palace. Imperial concubine Yun really was missed!

As a result, before they could even get halfway, Zhang Yuan trotted along to catch up to them. He was gasping for air in exhaustion.

Feng Yu Heng went to help him breathe then asked him: “Eunuch Zhang, what is the urgent matter? Could it be that something happened to father Emperor?”

“The Emperor is fine.” Zhang Yuan waved his hand then said to the two: “There a are a few problems for this servant here. Earlier, this servant sent an urgent message for your Highness to return quickly. This matter was a bit of an overstep of my authority. After all, this servant is just a eunuch, yet a bold move was still made to send this sort of letter to a general fighting on the frontlines. If someone else was to find out about this matter, this servant’s head would be at risk.”

Xuan Tian Ming helplessly said: “Get to the point. At the moment, there is still nobody that dares to take your head.”

Zhang Yuan sighed and said with a look of sadness: “In the past, nobody dared to take it, but it’s really not certain this time. Your Highness! Something big has happened in the palace!”

“Hm?” Xuan Tian Ming was startled, “What big thing? I didn’t hear father Emperor bring it up earlier.”

“How could he be allowed to know!” Zhang Yuan stomped his foot, “Your Highness, this servant found out about it a few months ago. It was one of his Majesty’s hidden guards that told this servant. We’ve all kept it to ourselves, with nobody daring to tell anyone else, especially the Emperor. We were all fearing that something would happen if he found out. Having finally managed to stall until your Highness’ return. When this servant saw your Highness, the rock in this servant’s chest was finally lifted by a bit.”

Xuan Tian Ming’s heart went “thunk.” Even Feng Yu Heng’s heart trembled. The two looked at each other and saw that both were thinking the same thing.

Feng Yu Heng was the first to speak, asking: “Could it be that something has happened in Winter Moon Palace?”

Zhang Yuan nodded, letting out a long sigh. He then looked in all directions. After ascertaining that nobody was present, he leaned forward and quietly said: “Imperial concubine Yun… left the palace!”

The two were extremely shocked: “What did you say?”
