Chapter 129 Seizing Power
The news that Vice General Xue had escorted the Prince of Yan all the way was passed back to the palace one by one.
inside the palace,
The emperor's husband was sitting in the main hall of the imperial garden, holding a jade cup in his hand, with a gentle look on his face. He didn't look as miserable as he did when he was locked up in Danhe Palace by the empress.
The Ninth Princess Feng Yaoyu stood nearby, holding a document from Weicheng. She spoke leisurely, "News has come from the border of Yan State: the Prince of Yan State has entered the territory of Shang State. He was ambushed by bandits, so Lieutenant General Xue escorted him all the way back to the Imperial City."
The Emperor frowned upon hearing this, put down the jade cup in his hand, and said coldly, "How could Lieutenant General Xue abandon his own master to escort the Prince of Yan?"
Feng Yaoyu sneered, "Even if she survives, there's no way to save her. If she sneaks into the Imperial City, it will save us the trouble of searching for her everywhere."
The Emperor shook his head helplessly, "Don't you know the soldiers and horses under her command? If she really has infiltrated this envoy team, do you have a countermeasure?"
After hearing this, Feng Yaoyu began to feel worried. She had previously colluded with the Western Regions, and two groups of people had worked together to assassinate Feng Zhaoyun. Only after the secret guards who escaped told her that she and Feng Yunjin had fallen off the cliff together did she dare to enter the imperial city and do these head-loose things.
It is still unknown whether it is Bai Mohan or someone else who is coming. If it is Bai Jinzhi, then Feng Zhaoyun must be alive, and the chance of him sneaking into the envoy group is also very high. We should indeed be on guard.
Thinking of this, Feng Yaoyu waved her hand, and the new personal guard behind her came forward and knelt down, "Your Highness."
Feng Yaoyu said, "Follow Lord Zhang and personally welcome the envoys from the Kingdom of Yan. If any spies from the enemy country sneak in, they will be killed on the spot. This is the order of His Majesty, and all officials in the prefectures must cooperate."
The guard took the order and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."
The Emperor looked at his little daughter with satisfaction. She was more thoughtful than Yaoxue, so he smiled faintly, "Did you go to Yan Country this time, besides discovering that Bai Jinzhi was Feng Yunjin, also to look for your third sister?"
Feng Yaoyu was stunned after hearing this, then shook her head pretending to be sad, "No... Third sister is not in Yan State. Sigh... I don't know where she is now."
After saying this, he turned around and looked at the emperor seriously, "But, father, don't worry, if she is not in Yan Kingdom, she must be in Yue Kingdom. When I ascend to the throne, I will go to Yue Kingdom to look for her, even if I have to flatten Yue Kingdom to find her."
Feng Yaoyu has been coveting Nangong Shang's beauty for more than a day or two. Ever since she first saw Nangong Shang walk into the Shang State dinner, she couldn't take her eyes off her.
If he becomes emperor one day, and he doesn't want to, I will snatch him away even if I have to flatten the Moon Kingdom.
The Emperor smiled tenderly upon hearing this and held Feng Yaoyu's hand. "Yaoxue must be very happy to have a sister like you. Being an emperor is not easy. Father originally wanted your sister to ascend the throne so that you could live a happy and prosperous life as a princess. Now this heavy responsibility falls on you. In the future, you must ensure that your sister will have a life of wealth and honor."
Feng Yaoyu held the emperor's hand with her other hand and nodded, "Father, don't worry, I will not let you down!"
At this moment, a palace maid broke the warm scene between father and daughter. She stepped forward to pay her respects and hurried to Feng Yaoyu's side. She leaned over and whispered something in her ear.
Feng Yaoyu smiled contemptuously, her lips curled up, "She is quite capable. Tell them to increase the dosage. Don't kill her yet, just keep her alive."
The palace maid saluted and said, "Yes," and then she retreated.
The Emperor's husband had a complicated expression on his face. He naturally had feelings for the Empress, and seeing his daughter treat her like this made his heart very complicated. But now Yao Yu held great power, so he spoke weakly, "Yu'er... could you please not harm your mother's life?"
Feng Yaoyu looked at the emperor, her face devoid of any evil, and she smiled gently, "Father, don't worry. I won't do that. I only want the throne, and I can leave the rest to you."
When the emperor heard this, his face lit up with joy. He nodded, picked up the jade cup, and leisurely sipped the tea.
Feng Yaoyu looked at her father, turned her head, half-closed her eyes, and had a gentle smile on her face, but she already hated him in her heart.
If it weren't for me, he would still be locked up in Danhe Palace by my mother, pretending to be crazy and stupid all day long. After I came back to seize power, the first thing I did was to take him out of the palace.
I didn't expect that his heart and eyes were filled with only Feng Yaoxue! What good was that idiot doing? Now his Yaoxue, his beloved daughter, was neither human nor ghost, and was extremely despicable!
Thinking of how Feng Yaoxue looked when she saw her in Prince Mo's Mansion, Feng Yaoyu's face lightened up and her mood improved a lot. She raised her eyes, picked up the cup, and took a sip of tea.
