"So you are Feng Wuchen," Ling Su said after a moment. Hearing this, Feng Wuchen couldn’t help but be taken aback, "You know me?"
Ling Su nodded but did not explain, only vaguely saying, "I’ve heard about you."
Feng Wuchen couldn’t help but overthink.
That means she knows about him, has paid attention to him.
But why is she so focused on him? Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel·fire·net
According to him, it’s very likely because she, like Bai Wanwan, knows he will be the future ruler of Da Qin, right?
Thinking of this, Feng Wuchen’s smile became gentler and more affable, "I see, it’s Wuchen’s honor." Feng Wuchen naturally stopped referring to himself as "this hall" in front of Ling Su.
At this moment, Feng Wuchen’s personal eunuch came knocking on the door.
"Your Highness, it’s getting late, you should leave the palace."
Hearing this, Feng Wuchen immediately looked at Ling Su, "Miss Susu, would you like to leave with Wuchen? If you continue staying in the Imperial Palace, I’m afraid it might not be safe. Why not come with Wuchen to my residence and recuperate there, then make plans once you’re healed?"
Ling Su thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll trouble you."
Although her injuries were temporarily not a problem, she could not currently use Star Power, and being alone would be unsafe.
But Feng Wuchen is a Prince, his residence should be safer than other places.
Most importantly, staying by Feng Wuchen’s side provides an opportunity to gather more intelligence.
She did not forget her mission in Da Qin.
Seeing Ling Su agree, Feng Wuchen was overjoyed.
He then warmly said to Ling Su, "However, that person might still be watching you from the shadows, so if you want to leave the palace, I’m afraid you’ll have to temporarily disguise yourself as a little eunuch by my side and leave with me."
Hearing this, Ling Su immediately nodded and said, "What’s there to feel wronged about?"
As long as she can leave the Imperial Palace, what’s so bad about disguising as a eunuch?
Seeing Ling Su didn’t mind, Feng Wuchen then gave his orders.
Once Ling Su was ready, Feng Wuchen took her along with other eunuchs to leave the Imperial Palace.
After returning to his residence, he arranged for Ling Su’s room to be next to his courtyard so it would be convenient for him to win her favor anytime.
He couldn’t believe that under his gentle assault, Ling Su wouldn’t fall for him.
Meanwhile, Feng Qingyang had not slept the entire night.
Last night, he used various methods, but his body just wouldn’t respond, remaining as immovable as iron.
Thinking of how the words Qi Hao spoke during the recent grand assembly would spread across the countries, turning him into a laughing stock, Feng Qingyang became furious and anxious.
Seeing Feng Qingyang’s face full of anger, Li Cheng cautiously said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Crown Prince Qi is requesting an audience outside... Do you wish to meet him or not?"
Hearing this, Feng Qingyang immediately glared at Li Cheng like a knife, "What is he here for?"
"Your Majesty, word has it Crown Prince Qi was supposedly cursed last night, which made him speak those absurd words. I believe this is a great opportunity to clarify things," Li Cheng replied.
Feng Qingyang couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
He naturally knew this was a good opportunity to clarify.
But thinking about his own body made him want to kill Qi Hao, the culprit.
He feared that once he saw Qi Hao, he might not control himself and kill him directly.
However, Feng Qingyang was well-practiced in restraint, with extraordinary endurance.
Soon, he managed to adjust his emotions, and coldly instructed Li Cheng, "Let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Cheng respectfully retreated and then went to summon Qi Hao.
As soon as Qi Hao entered, he kneeled with tears and a pleading expression, trying to clear his name.
"Please, Emperor Daqin, calm your anger. I really don’t know what happened at that time. Whatever I said or did at the time, it was because I was framed!" Qi Hao cried.
