But how easy is that?
Who is Prince An? If he were so easy to deal with, he wouldn't be the Crown Prince's biggest obstacle now.
Moreover, the Crown Prince wanted to act rashly even though he hadn't won over the Grand General.
He can't afford to gamble, and he doesn't want to gamble.
Bai Linghui's final decision was also thanks to Wenren Yunfei.
If she hadn't asked him to harm the princess, he wouldn't have seen through it so quickly.
She couldn't believe that the fairy-like Feifei had become like this.
They must have been deceived by the prince; he wanted to save that kind fairy.
Zongzheng Mufeng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.
He didn't pay much attention to the rumors circulating in the Crown Prince's residence, but he was surprised that that woman dared to have such a vicious idea.
He then retaliated in kind.
"Go back first. You can tell An Yi if you have any news."
"I will spare your life. If you perform meritorious service in this matter, I will ensure you have a life free from want."
Let him see where this person's bottom line is and how much he can do.
If even the master he trained with since childhood could betray him, who knows if he won't betray him again someday? In any case, he wouldn't dare to take him in.
But wouldn't it be a shame not to take advantage of something that's offered to you? Anyone can say nice things.
Especially since it was such a simple matter, he naturally made the promise without any pressure.
After Bai Ling left, An Yi and An Er silently awaited their master's instructions.
"An Yi, go and disfigure Wenren Yunfei's face as she requested. Remember, make sure everyone sees it."
Don't you want the beauty to be feared and terrified by everyone?
Very well, I'll let you taste this flavor too.
An Yi accepted the order and left.
"Waiter, send someone to supervise the Crown Prince's residence, and strengthen the guards around the Princess Consort."
I stood up, went into the inner room to take a look, and found that the beauty was still sleeping soundly, which warmed my heart.
He picked up his clothes, walked out of the hall, and prepared to go to the palace.
...
"Mu Feng, why are you coming to the palace in the middle of the night? Aren't you going to keep your princess company?"
Zongzheng Muye looked at his younger brother sitting below him with some curiosity, knowing how much this man liked Wenren Xunmi.
He would have loved to take her anywhere with him, but now that she has such a beautiful woman in his arms, it's quite strange that she would be willing to come see him.
"Brother, I'm not here to argue with you."
"Bai Ling visited my palace tonight and brought me some news."
"I wonder if Your Majesty would like to hear it?" Zongzheng Mufeng blew on his tea leaves and sipped them leisurely.
Zongzheng Muye's expression instantly turned cold: "Oh, Mu Feng is really capable, he even subdued the head of the Crown Prince's secret guards."
I don't know what I'm feeling. Although I'm smiling, there's no joy in my eyes.
"Brother, don't make wild guesses. I'm not interested in your position."
"Naturally, whether you sit or your son sits is none of my business."
"I'll get involved in this only because it involves my beautiful wife."
Zongzheng Mufeng waved his hand dismissively, deflecting the emperor's probing with a few words.
He sighed inwardly, however, as the memory of his father and mother spoiling him too much back then still lingered in his older brother's heart.
Everyone envies the imperial family, but what is there to envy?
"Oh, the Crown Prince is planning to harm Princess Roujia?"
Zongzheng Muye put away his profound side and reverted to his wise and refined demeanor.
Zongzheng Mufeng shook his head: "It wasn't the Crown Prince, it was his woman who sent his head of the secret guards to disfigure the Princess Consort's face."
"Brother, tell me, they've gone so far as to bully me. How can I not fight back?"
The imposing aura emanating from him, though merely a change in title, made the emperor on his high seat feel a sense of pressure.
His heart sank; his younger brother was indeed not to be underestimated.
Fortunately, he wasn't particularly interested in the throne.
"The Crown Prince's women?" It seems the Crown Prince has many women.
"Wenren Yunfei." Zongzheng Mufeng paused, a mocking expression on his face.
"I had no idea when our Zongzheng royal family would need to bring back such shameless things."
"They treat it like a precious treasure, huh..."
That thing isn't even worthy of carrying your own beauty's shoes, okay?
Zongzheng Muye's face darkened, and his anger flared up.
"When did this happen?" The news about Wenren Yunfei had caused quite a stir in the capital; it was impossible for him not to know.
"It's been several days, hasn't it?" Zongzheng Mufeng shrugged, looking like he wasn't quite sure either.
"Tell me what you know."
"Bai Ling told her younger brother that the Crown Prince is preparing to stage a coup, probably soon."
"As for where he got the audacity and who he won over, I have no idea."
"Alright, that's all for now, I'll head back now."
"I will ask my brother for that woman. Please inform the Crown Prince."
Doesn't she really like men? Fine, he'll satisfy her.
She thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, so he granted her wish.
Didn't she want to live a life of luxury? He helped her.
When they returned to the palace, it was brightly lit.
Zongzheng Mufeng was startled, thinking something had happened, and rushed inside.
Then I saw my beloved sitting in the main seat, her head nodding, looking like she was about to fall asleep. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He walked over and gently picked up the beauty.
"Why are you being so naughty? Why aren't you sleeping in bed? What are you doing up here?"
"I'd be worried if you caught a cold."
Xunmian casually wrapped her arms around Zongzheng Mufeng's neck and nuzzled against his chest.
With a thick nasal tone, she said, "Um... I was worried about you; you haven't come back for so long."
"I can't sleep without you. I'm waiting for you to stay with me while I sleep."
The sound grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared into the night, becoming just the sound of mosquitoes.
Zongzheng Mufeng looked down and saw that the beauty had already fallen asleep. He smiled helplessly.
He carried the person steadily, placed them on the bed, took off his outer clothes, and rolled into the covers.
Holding the person in his arms, Zongzheng Mufeng felt very content.
No matter the imperial court or the world, nothing can compare to having your beloved by your side.
After a good night's sleep, Xunmi finally got up at noon the next day, having had enough sleep.
With bright sunshine and beautiful spring scenery, it's the perfect day to go out for a stroll.
The imperial physician also suggested that the mother should move around more, as it would be beneficial to the health of both the fetus and the mother.
Just be careful and avoid making mistakes, since the fetus is still developing and not very stable in the first month or two.
The two didn't go far, but strolled to the peach tree where they first met.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom when she stood under the peach tree, and he fell in love with her at first sight.
Even the most beautiful peach blossoms could not overshadow her extraordinary talent.
As if it were destiny, they always recognized each other at first glance in a crowd.
