76 Chapter 76 Empress’s Game 2 (1/2)
In the second prince's hidden courtyard, Feng Jun Yu is anxiously waiting for Gong Weixie along with the empress, if ever he was able to successfully abduct her. They failed the last time, although he doesn't know what had happened, so he was worried that things would go south again. If this would fail again, they would suspect him immediately since he is the only one who has the motive. His younger brother is out of the question since he is not showing any since of rebellion.
When Gong Weixie arrived with Lin Xulian in his shoulder, Feng Jun Yu was caught off guard. He was expecting a struggling woman with tied up limbs and covered head. But the woman is out cold when they arrived. ”Lord Gong, did you drug her?”
”Drug? You said she is proficient in medicine so poison doesn't work on her. Why would I drug her?” Gong Weixie said while looking at Feng Jun Yu as if saying that he is dumb.
”So….you hit her?” Feng Jun Yu asked carefully. He also hits women so he is not exactly worried but he would just play it safe with Gong Weixie. He doesn't want to judge him, or should he say he doesn't dare.
”It's the fastest way.”
Feng Jun Yu just nod while following them until Gong Weixie placed Lin Xulian in the bed. Feng Jun Yu's face morphed into a hungry wolf-like look seeing the defenseless beautiful woman on the bed. But unfortunately for him, Gong Weixie shot him a freezing glare that confused him. ”Lord Gong, I thought we've talked about it already? The woman is mine then you'll kill Feng Jun Yi.”
”I changed my mind. This woman is adept in medicine. She will be a good addition in my ranks in the Jianghu.” Gong Weixie then gave Feng Jun Yu a warning glare. Feng Jun Yu kept mum since he can't defeat Gong Weixie anyway. But deep inside he knew as a fellow man himself, Gong Weixie wants to keep the beauty for himself. Although he is not satisfied, Feng Jun Yu concede. As long as Feng Jun Yi ends up dead, he'll be contented.

Not far from the second prince's hidden courtyard, before Feng Jun Yu arrived at the gates, he was dragged, pinned down and hidden above a tree. His mouth was covered then his acupuncture points were pressed that caused him to lose his strength. He thought Feng Jun Yi ambushed him so despite his weakness he tried to fight his assailant. But his eyes widened the moment he recognized the attacker. ”B-brother-in-law?!”
Lin Huang knitted his eyebrows hearing the way Feng Jun Yun addressed him. ”Brother-in-law? I only have one sister, so I only have one brother-in-law.”
Feng Jun Yun is caught off guard. He was too startled so he called Lin Huang as brother-in-law by mistake since he often fantasizes being Lin Xulian's husband instead of Feng Jun Yi. ”The empress is my sister-in-law so as her brother you should be my brother-in-law too, right?”
Lin Huang got confused. ”I don't think it works that way. Don't call me that.”
”Y-yes. Sure, young master Lin.” Feng Jun Yun heave a sigh of relief and wiped his imaginary sweat. ”Ummm…can you please let me go now?” He is still currently pinned down by Lin Huang.
”I'll let you go if you won't try to ruin our plan. And that means you'll stay here and do nothing.” Feng Jun Yun had no other choice but to heed to Lin Huang's instruction. As if he can even go against his dream brother-in-law so he just nods in surrender.
Lin Huang released his acupuncture points and looked at the courtyard's entrance. Feng Jun Yun followed his line of sight and found the emperor alone in front as if waiting for something. He knitted his brows and asked. ”Are you going to help the emperor to deal with second brother, young master Lin?”
