zChapter 1145 - Something Bad Happened At Heavenly Hall (2/2)
“Last night, His Highness the Sixth Prince went to visit Noble Lady Li again.” Zhang Yuan gossiped softly, “It was heard that when he came out, his expression was not that good. In the middle of the night, Jing Si Palace made a ruckus and said that Noble Lady Li wanted to hang herself, His Highness the Sixth Prince was called over after just having fallen asleep and he stood watch until this morning.” Zhang Yuan shook his head as he spoke. At this time, a Eunuch was seen walking out from Heavenly Hall, he quickly waved that person over, summoning that Eunuch to him.
When that Eunuch saw Zhang Yuan, he quickly wanted to bow, but Zhang Yuan stopped him, then told Ren Xifeng: “He is the personal Eunuch serving His Highness the Sixth Prince, his name is Sun Rang.” At the same time, he also introduced to Sun Rang: “This is the First Miss from General Pingnan’s manor, she has come to see His Highness the Sixth Prince. When court is adjourned, please make a referral.”
Once Sun Rang heard that this was someone from General Pingnan’s manor, he said quickly: “The old General is also inside!”
Ren Xifeng said quickly: “Do not bother my father, I came to see His Highness the Sixth Prince.” Thinking for a bit, she added on: “Princess Yu asked me to come.”
She brought up Feng Yuheng’s name and with the addition of Zhang Yuan’s referral, this matter proceeded smoothly. Zhang Yuan still had to return to take care of the Emperor and it was not convenient for him to stay. He took his leave after making the referral and Sun Rang accompanied Ren Xifeng in waiting outside the Hall, even telling Ren Xifeng: “Young Miss, there is no need to feel anxious, when court is adjourned, This Servant will bring you in.”
The good thing was that without waiting for too long, the announcement that court was adjourned was heard. Ren Xifeng stood behind a pillar, hiding her body as much as possible so people would not see that she was here. Hiding like this, she could hear the discussion between the ministers. Someone said: “His Highness the Sixth Prince is too indecisive! He is hesitating between the disaster refugees and the soldiers guarding the border. In my opinion, the matter of the border frontier is more important, the food should be delivered to the border frontier first. As for the refugees, there are refugees every year, there are people frozen to death every year, but we have never heard of any communities being completely wiped out from being frozen because of this.”
Someone also said: “His Highness the Sixth Prince changed a lot now. In the past, I only felt that he was a first rank scholar, and he is only good at being a scholar! Other than creating books for Da Shun, what else could be expected from him? But with his position of regent now, he is doing rather well, see, he can even lose this temper!”
“This is still rather good!” Someone lamented, “Even if His Highness the Sixth Prince loses his temper, he is still relatively peaceful. Think about it, what if the Regent was the Ninth Prince?”
“It would be good if it was the Ninth Prince!” Someone shouted loudly, “Not considering the Ninth Prince for the moment, because that Princess Yu is around, there are limitless possibilities for Da Shun’s future, and all those possibilities are inspiring!”
Ren Xifeng heard the people speak one about another as they voiced their opinion and she felt aggrieved on behalf of the Sixth Prince. The task of Regent was demanding and did not have much benefits. People might feel that you are not suited, but you still had to rule this country properly, this hardship could not be understood by the common people.
She hid behind the pillar, watching group after group of ministers leaving, Her father General Pingnan was one of them, as well as Feng Tianyu’s father Feng Qing. When everyone had left, this was when she returned to Sun Rang’s side. She wanted to say let’s go meet His Highness the Sixth Prince now! But she saw the servants leaving Heavenly Hall one by one and one of them even told Sun Rang: “His Highness the Sixth Prince gave orders, no one can enter the Hall, he also does not need anyone to serve him.”
“Why is that?” Sun Rang did not understand, Ren Xifeng understood even less. She then saw Sun Rang ask the people who came out from inside: “His Highness would not even allow me to go in?”
The other party answered: “His Highness said, no one can enter.”
Sun Rang frowned and told Ren Xifeng: “Logically, this shouldn’t happen! This Servant followed him from his residence, His Highness does not hide anything from This Servant, but this seems to have been said without any proper reason.”
Ren Xifeng thought: “Why don’t you let me try to enter! Princess Yu’s matter is also rather urgent, if His Highness the Sixth Prince wants to blame me, there is Princess Yu as protection.” She mentioned Feng Yuheng’s name again, and after Sun Rang nodded in agreement, she had to be amazed at how influential Feng Yuheng was! As long as her name was mentioned, everything proceeded so smoothly without any blockages.
She shook her head and showed a troubled smile, walking into the Hall, but unexpectedly, once she entered the inner hall and the sound of the closing hall door was heard, when she just saw the figure of the Sixth Prince, she saw the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng coughing up blood uncontrollably……
