Chapter 897: Falling Frost Flower 87
ought she was Xi'er's personal maid, if he scolded her and Xi'er found out, he wouldn't know how angry she would be, and he would suffer the consequences."Very well, this King will ask Xier himself th..."Duke Zhen Guo, please calm yourself."
The Empress Dowager Shu brought Feng Cangkai to the front hall and hurriedly ordered someone to pull Duguxing away.
“Imperial Noble Consort, if the Fourth Prince’s Manor doesn't give me an explanation this time, I will never stop. A’er’s parents don't care for her, but I will. This child has suffered so much since she was young. If it weren't for the Fourth Prince saying he could take care of A’er for her entire life, I would not have trusted him so much. Now that he has taken a new wife, he simply divorced A’er without a word, not even a greeting. It's too much!”
The Imperial Noble Consort nodded repeatedly, comforting Feng Cangkai.
"This matter, the empress knows, is an apology to Xi'er. General Zhen Guogong, please listen to the empress finish her words first."
Shutai listened to Feng Cangke's cold snort, sat down, ordered someone to bring tea, and then began to speak.
"The city was in chaos this time, and something unexpected happened. He got hurt and lost his memory. I asked Ye Xi about it, and he said that after the prince woke up, this Illusory Moon appeared beside him. The prince then said he wanted to take her back to the capital and make her his concubine."
Shutai Concubine said this, Feng Cangkai became angry again.
"Wouldn't Duke Zhen Guo find that strange Even if Cheng'er has amnesia, he shouldn't fall in love with a woman so quickly. And Ye Xi said it's only been three days between his amnesia and now."
"Forgive this old minister for speaking out of turn, but a lot can happen in three days."
Feng Cangkai didn't want to hear Shutai's talk about the wind in Dugucheng. He only knew how they treated Xi'er like this, and he couldn't bear it.
“I know a lot will happen in the next three days. I understand your feelings about this matter, and I am also investigating this phantom moon. If she and Cheng'er are truly already husband and wife, then I can only apologize to Xi’er. But what if this phantom moon is deliberately approaching Cheng'er I hope the Duke of Zhen Guo can help me, keep Xi’er here, and prevent her from leaving the Great Yuan Dynasty.”
Feng Cangkai let out a cold snort, "Xier wants to leave or stay, that's her business. This old minister just feels sorry for that silly girl. Such a big thing and she didn't even tell me, suffering alone."
"Didn't she return to the Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion"
Shu Taifei's face was full of worry, Feng Cangkai's heart was already feeling stifled, and hearing this, his heart felt even worse.
"Empress Dowager Shu, my sister is at the Yao Clan's main residence and will leave the Great Yuan Dynasty very soon." Feng Yumò added from the side. This Empress Dowager Shu was truly good to her sister, and he wouldn't disrespect her because of Dugu Cheng.
"Xier, are you leaving"
The Empress Dowager's face was etched with anxiety, "I haven't even figured out what happened. If she leaves, does that mean she truly wants to abandon the city"
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has now dismissed Lady Xi. They are now free to marry whomever they choose."
Feng Cangkai looked at Shu Taifei and said angrily, “Fine, since we’re already divorced, I heard that the Crown Prince of Arah Xia is deeply in love with Xier. It’s better to let Xier be the Crown Princess of Arah Xia. This way, she will still be a princess of a country. Arah Xia and Yao Clan are close, anyway, I'm going to retire soon, so I might as well go with them.”
Feng Cangkai got up, "Yumo, let's go."
Shutai looked at their leaving figures, anxiously.
"Duke Zhen Guo..."
Feng Cangkai ignored Shu Taifei. After venting his anger, he felt much better and still started making plans with Xi'er. He would have Huang Xia bring his troops to seize the Dawan Dynasty and avenge Xi'er.
"Shutai Fei, this matter has already been known in the palace. The Empress Dowager is furious and just now summoned Wang Ye into the palace."
Shu Taifei's face changed drastically, "As expected, what was bound to come has arrived."
"Shutai, is it about the Wangye"
Huanyue walked towards Shutai, having just heard that the Wangye had been summoned to the palace, she hurried over wanting to inquire about the news.
Shu Taifei saw this phantom moon and became enraged. If not for this woman's interference, there wouldn't have been so many things happening.
"Why aren't you staying in the courtyard and learning proper etiquette with Grandma What are you doing out here"
The moon's gentle appearance seemed like she would fall over with a gust of wind, making Shu Taifei feel deeply uncomfortable.
“Yuè'er is worried about the King. She just heard that he was summoned to the palace. Yuè'er doesn't understand things in the palace, so she wants to ask Shū Taitai, when will the King return from the palace, and will the Emperor make things difficult for him when he summons him”
"Do you truly like Cheng'er"
Seeing the worry in Huan Yue's eyes, Shu Taifei softened her tone and asked.
Huan Yue nodded, "Yue'er and the King fell in love at first sight. The King did too. Yue'er knows that Tai Fei Shu doesn't want Yue'er and the King to be together because Yue'er's status is humble and she's not worthy of the King."
"Since you know your station is lowly, why did you come to the capital Was it Cheng'er who insisted on bringing you"
The more Shu Taifei listened, the angrier she became. Was this a show of her status in Cheng'er's heart
Not to mention her delicate appearance, even her words are truly disagreeable. Her tone is laced with arrogance, as if she's afraid others don't know that Cheng'er likes her.
"The Moon really didn't want to come to the capital. It was the prince who said that he couldn't leave the Moon, so he brought me here."
"You know, being with him is like leading him to ruin."
Shutai looked at Huanyue, seeing her fist clenched and biting her lip, with eyes brimming with tears.
"Why are you crying This imperial consort hasn't scolded you. All I did was say a few words, and you react like this. If Cheng'er saw this, wouldn't he think that this imperial consort has wronged you"
Huan Yue's tears were falling even harder.
“The moon did not mean it, she just felt wronged and sad inside. Imperial Noble Consort Shu, please don't be angry. The moon is weak-willed and will try her best to change.”
"What good does it do to change things, when you can't alter his fate"
Shu Taifei looked at Huan Yue's tears, "You probably don't know, the original Fourth Princess and the court had a cooperation. When the late emperor arranged the marriage, he promised that unless Feng Ling Xi took the initiative to request a divorce, this marriage could not be canceled. Now Cheng'er divorced her for you, and Xi'er did not force herself to stay. The court will definitely investigate this matter."
Huan Yue's face turned as white as a sheet, "What should we do Is the prince going to be punished"
If you truly love him, you should know what to do so he won't be punished.
Huan Yue bit her lip, but did not answer.
Shu Taifei's eyes swept over. "It seems that your so-called liking is for the glory and wealth of this Fourth Princess position, not for truly loving Cheng'er."
Huan Yue hurriedly knelt down, “No, Yue’er truly loves the King. Yue’er just doesn't want to leave the King. It took me so long to muster the courage to follow him back, I really don't want to leave him just like this.”
This is the difference between you and Xi'er. If it were her today, Xi'er would choose to leave Cheng'er without hesitation because she wouldn't let Cheng'er fall into such a predicament, only focusing on seeking pleasure for herself.
Shu Taifei's words made Huan Yue's face even paler, tears welling up as she looked at Shu Taifei.
"Is it that only when I leave will the Lord have peace"
The Dowager Empress looked at her, her eyes firm. "Yes, as long as you leave, Cheng'er will be fine."ops."Huángfǔ Qīngyún looked at Dúlú Chéng, seeing him enter, she also sat beside him.
