C221 zither music as a confidant (2/2)

What sort of person was he in the eyes of the world?

In her eyes, what was it?

”Servant …” ”You know your wrongs.” Doll did not dare to quibble anymore. Looking at Feng Qing, he could only hope that the punishment would be lighter. However, there was no punishment from Feng Qing for a long time.

”Your Highness?” Peach looked at the silent Feng Qing with a puzzled expression.

Feng Qing said coldly, ”From today onwards, no one from the Eastern Palace Clan will be left alive. They will all be chased out of the Palace. Whoever dares to use my name to deceive others will all be executed.” With just one sentence, Feng Qing had completely cut off all paths of retreat for the Eastern Palace clansmen.

Normally, they would be by Feng Qing's side. Although they wouldn't be recognized by their master, they still had to be respected in the eyes of outsiders. Once they were chased out of the Eastern Palace, they would no longer be the servants of the crown prince. Then, some of them might not even be able to survive.

Although Tao Er felt wronged, she didn't dare to say anything more. After all, the people from the Eastern Palace Clan also included her. Her highness didn't start a massacre, which was already beyond her expectations. With this thought in mind, Tao Er felt lucky and said: ”Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness.”

Feng Qing didn't say anything. His eyes were still frighteningly cold. After Tao Er left, he looked at the tea tray on the wooden table. With a wave of her sleeve, all of it fell to the ground. On her exquisite face, there was a bit of anger that shouldn't have been his.

”Damn it!” Feng Qing spat out these words with his red lips.

”Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the crown prince, who was the most aloof in the eyes of others, would have the chance to say such vulgar words.” ”May I know whose lady provoked His Highness to such a state?” This voice came out of nowhere.

This was especially true in this quiet Peach Blossom Dock.

It was too late to conceal the rage on Feng Qing's face. When he raised his head, his eyes were filled with paleness. Standing in front of him was a white-haired man. His face was covered by a mask, making it difficult to see his appearance.

However, the engravings on the mask made everyone instantly understand. The Resurrection Lily.

”What are you doing here?” Feng Qing's eyes became even colder as he asked unkindly. When the man heard this, he did not get angry. He only took out a piece of paper and passed it to Feng Qing. ”Your Majesty's secret order, please do as he says.”

”I have said before, I will not act according to anyone's wishes. If royal father truly wishes to order me, why not directly come to see me!” Feng Qing said in dissatisfaction.

”Your Highness, everything His Majesty did was naturally for Your Highness' sake.” If you didn't do it in accordance with this secret order, I believe … Those whom your majesty desires, will be in danger. ” After speaking, the white-haired man disappeared from the Peach Blossom Dock. It was as if no one had ever been around. Strange and ethereal.

Feng Qing held the slip of paper in his hand. After a long while, he regained his usual calmness and opened the slip of paper. There were two words written on it – Murong. Seeing these words, Feng Qing smiled mockingly.

After leaving the Peach Blossom Dock, Mu Ru Yue instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Although the crown prince's attitude had exceeded her expectations, it was still the best outcome. From today onwards, there would no longer be any connection between her and Feng Qing.

The past was just a dream. Although he felt that it was a pity that he had lost his best friend, he was still glad that Feng Qing was not someone who would cause trouble without reason.

”Imperial Aunt, Imperial Aunt, why did you come to the Peach Blossom Dock again?” As Mu Ru Yue was reminiscing about her meeting with Feng Qing, she heard an anxious shout from Princess Wu You not far away. Lifting her head, she saw Princess Wuyou hurriedly running towards her.

Princess Wuyou looked at Mu Ru Yue's blank expression and sighed. ”Royal sister-in-law, why didn't you wait for me before leaving by yourself?”

”There are some things that have to be done, and... Presumably, Your Highness has another appointment. ” Mu Ru Yue looked at Princess Wuyou as she spoke. Hearing this, Princess Wuyou's face instantly became three parts red. ”Why would imperial sister-in-law … ”How did you know?”
