C458 Letter from Beijing (1/2)

Mu Ru Yue's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally loud in this quiet room. She looked at Feng Qing, waiting for her answer. Initially, she thought that this person would definitely not take the risk. However, the moment she saw Feng Qing in the river west, she felt really bad.

Mu Ru Yue's question made Feng Qing retract his gaze slightly. Her beautiful phoenix eyes landed on Mu Ru Yue's face. He then said, ”As the crown prince, if I don't protect the citizens, my reputation will decline.”

”His Highness isn't someone who cares about these things.” Mu Ru Yue asked.

”This is different from the past. I don't like to be tricked. And he didn't like being forced to quit. I have already walked into this battle. In that case, I will be the same as them. ” Feng Qing's attitude was very calm.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she gradually understood.

Looking at Feng Qing now, it was as if a god had finally descended into the mortal world. This person who had been cold and arrogant ever since they met had finally stopped caring about being with ordinary people. He finally began to live like a person.

Although he didn't know how he became like this, this matter, as a friend, was a good thing. However, as an enemy, Feng Qing's transformation was the greatest disaster for those who were interested in the throne.

Feng Qing had the favor of His Majesty to begin with, as well as the help of the Jiang Clan. He could be said to have been blessed by the heavens. Other than his unwillingness to participate in politics, there were almost no shortcomings. That was exactly what happened at the Temple of Huanglin.

The matter at the Yellow Forest Temple became so big, but in the end, he didn't do anything.

But now?

He even went as far as to save the people for the sake of his reputation.

”No matter what His Highness thinks, I must thank him. After all, I am also one of those people.” Mu Ru Yue looked at Feng Qing and said sincerely. When Feng Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he also started laughing.

This smile was like the blossoming of the pear blossoms in the door of the Divine Craftsman.

Elegant and mysterious, like a painting scroll.

Mu Ru Yue looked at it with infatuation for a moment, but in the next second, her infatuation was broken by a voice that came from outside.

”Your Highness.” Outside, Tao Er's voice sounded, sounding a bit anxious.

As her voice faded, Tao Er also walked in. At this moment, her face was filled with worry. She held a letter in her hand and passed it to Feng Qing. When Feng Qing heard this, he looked at the letter in her hands with a puzzled expression.

”What's the matter?” Feng Qing was slightly dissatisfied with Tao Er's panic.

After being by his side for so long, what he valued the most was how calm Tao Er was. However, ever since that incident, she seemed to have lost all patience and did not know how to endure.

Feng Qing didn't go and remind anyone because of a small matter. He only took the letter silently. After he opened it, he was also stunned.

”Your Highness, this matter has already spread throughout the capital, and no one has even stopped these rumors. Sir Jiang felt that this is a conspiracy against you, so he sent a letter to you.” Tao Er respectfully said.

As she spoke, her gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue. It was filled with resentment. Mu Ru Yue was startled by Tao Er's gaze. She hadn't offended this girl before. Why was she looking at her as though she was her father's enemy?

Feng Qing passed the letter to Mu Ru Yue and said, ”Take a look. I want to … Even if you don't look at it now, the Seventh Prince's Estate will still send you a message before long. ”

What is it?

Mu Ru Yue was puzzled as she took the letter.

”Your Highness, how could you?” Tao Er didn't expect Feng Qing to pass the secret letter to Mu Ru Yue. He became even more jealous. Looking at Mu Ru Yue, if his gaze could kill, Mu Ru Yue would have already died countless times.

”This matter is also related to her. Since it is directed at me, I must first obtain the trust of the person involved.” Feng Qing's tone was light.

However, when the letter was handed to Mu Ru Yue, Mu Ru Yue couldn't remain calm after reading the contents of the letter. She recognized every single word written on it. However, when put together, it made her mind buzz.

There were not many words on this letter, only a few words: Seventh Prince had been assassinated in the south. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Rumors in the city said that it was done by His Highness. I hope that Your Highness will take care of me when I return to the city.

These words were reflected in Mu Ru Yue's eyes, causing her eyes to turn bloodshot.
