Feng Wushuang's death made the entire Feng Family gloomy.
When Su Wan came to the Feng Family in her casual clothes, the mourning hall had already been removed but the military officer's residence was still covered in white silk.
"Princess Royal!"
Madam Feng naturally came out to welcome Su Wan personally.
"Aunt Feng, my condolences."
Su Wan gently held Madam Feng's hands. "I know you guys are sad about Wushuang's death but Wushuang has always been an innocent and kind child. I think that if his spirit is still in heaven, he would hope that you and Wuchen can be happy."
"Sigh. My poor son! "
Madam Feng sighed again hearing Su Wan's comforting words. She was born in an illustrious family. Though she didn't have a daughter, her two sons had been Madam Feng's favorites since they were young. Feng Wuchen had great ambitions since he was young. It just so happened that the late emperor implemented the new law. Feng Wuchen was one of the first men to enter the court and become an official. As for Feng Wushuang, because of his weak body, he had been recuperating in the residence.
Feng Wushuang was a decent person but unfortunately, he was too weak. Maybe this was why Su Man didn't like him.
Though Su Man was an empress, she didn't like men who were too weak. Her man either had to be talented like Yue Qing or he had to be a hero with peerless martial arts like General Lu Changge.
This was probably the so-called alliance of the strong.
"Princess Royal, you're here!"
At this time, Feng Wuchen's voice rang from behind Su Wan. Su Wan immediately turned around. Seeing Feng Wuchen's calm but cold face, disappointment flashed through her eyes.
Not Su Wan.
Feng Wuchen was a supporting male character with a lot of scenes in this world. He just didn't have any emotional scenes with the female lead.
"Military Officer Feng, I need to talk to you."
"Mn. Your Highness, please follow me to the study."
Feng Wuchen gestured for Su Wan to follow him to the Feng Family's study.
"Military Officer Feng, have you really thought it through this time?"
The moment she entered the study, Su Wan's aura changed. Her expression turned serious and cold.
"Your Highness, do you think I'm joking with you? Wushuang … passed away early because he was depressed. It was all His Majesty's fault! His Majesty was able to marry the second young master of the Liu Clan as his Imperial Husband, and was able to be a couple with that Young Master Yue. Why was he unwilling to accept Wushuang? What did Wushuang do wrong? If I hadn't heard the news of His Majesty's marriage, I would not have been so excited … "
At this point, Feng Wuchen was already choking up.
From what Su Wan knew, Feng Wuchen had always been known as the iron-blooded military officer. She didn't expect him to have such a deep relationship with his brother.
"Great Military Officer Feng, I can understand your feelings. Since you've already decided to form an alliance with me, I naturally believe in your character."
Saying this, Su Wan couldn't help but smile faintly. "Wuchen, Chi Xueyuan is your cousin. I know that she has always been thinking about you. Do you have the confidence to convince her to support me?"
Chi Xueyuan was the Right Minister of the current dynasty. She had power in the court and was Suman's right hand man.
"This …"
Hearing Su Wan's words, Feng Wuchen's gaze darkened. "I'm afraid I can't. Xueyuan and Her Majesty have a deep relationship. I'm afraid she won't change her stance. Plus, it's not appropriate for me to tell her about this. Please forgive me, Princess Royal."
"Mn, I understand. There's no rush. There's really no rush."
Su Wan smiled comfortingly at Feng Wuchen. "I can't stay here for long either. That's all for today. If anything happens in the future, I will have Bi Lou send someone to inform you."
"Yes."
Feng Wuchen respectfully sent Su Wan off. Seeing Su Wan's carriage leave the Feng Residence's back door, Feng Wuchen looked at the pitch-black sky and a cold glint flickered in his eyes.
Wushuang, brother will get justice for you. I definitely will.
It wasn't far from the Feng Residence to the Princess Royal residence in the east of the imperial city. But Su Wan's carriage took advantage of the darkness and circled around the street twice before heading to the north of the capital. There was an extremely large residence on a certain street in the north of the capital. The walls of the residence were all black, blending in with the night.
This residence looked really mysterious and strange. The residents nearby didn't dare to approach this place. Apparently, a night watchman had once passed by this place in the middle of the night and saw many headless and legless ghosts walking in and out of the courtyard.
That's right. This was the most famous haunted residence in the north of the city. In reality, this was a stronghold of Su Wan's imperial family's secret guards in the capital.
"Your Highness!"
Su Wan got off the carriage and Bi Lou immediately scuttled out of the courtyard. Right now, she had changed into a tight-fitting black outfit. She looked really cold and dangerous.
"Your Highness, I'm useless. I actually let Yue Qing escape! Right now, he's in the Minister Zuo's residence. It's not good for me to send people after him! "
Bi Lou said this while kneeling on one knee. "Your Highness, please punish me."
Su Wan glanced at Bi Lou on the ground. "Forget it. Su Man was prepared. I don't blame you. She and Liu Luo really schemed well. They actually hid Yue Qing in Liu Xuan's residence."
Liu Xuan was the Minister Zuo. He was a first-rank official just like Feng Wuchen. Plus, Liu Xuan's younger brother, Liu Luo, was Su Man's husband. Because of this, Liu Family was naturally Su Man's direct descendant.
What should she say about Liu Xuan?
According to the original plot, he was a hidden boss. However, he wasn't an evil person. He was just an ambitious man, an ambitious man who wanted to overthrow women's rights and establish a patriarchal empire.
From what Su Wan knew, after the original body was used as cannon fodder, Su Man lived a blissful life with her men. At this time, Liu Xuan's plot started to gradually reveal itself.
Liu Xuan.
Su Wan muttered this name. He was someone she could fight for and form an alliance with.
"Bi Lou, get up. Where's the other thing I told you to do?"
Su Wan asked while walking into the residence.
"I've brought him back."
Bi Lou had already stood up and followed behind Su Wan obediently. "Your Highness wants …" Bi Lou made a beheading gesture. Su Wan smiled faintly and shook her head.
"Take me to see him."
At the same time, inside the imperial city's imperial study.
Su Man wore a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on a chair. A cultured and refined man stood respectfully in front of the desk. This man was the Minister Zuo, Liu Xuan.
"Liu Xuan, is Yue Qing safe?"
Su Man looked at Liu Xuan's face and asked anxiously.
"Master Yue is in my residence. Of course he's safe."
Liu Xuan smiled confidently. Although he was a civil official, he had studied Qimen Dunjia and Plum Blossom Divination since he was young. Liu Xuan had set up layers of traps in the entire Liu Residence. Even Bi Lou, who was the most skilled in martial arts under the princess royal, couldn't find Yue Qing in the Liu Residence.
"That's good."
Su Man relaxed after getting Liu Xuan's confirmation. "Imperial sister has always been ruthless. If she finds Yue Qing, he'll definitely be in trouble. I really have to thank you, Minister Liu."
Because Yue Qing had no status in the imperial palace and Su Man didn't know if there were any spies in the imperial city, she didn't dare to keep Yue Qing in the imperial city. Compared to the imperial city, the Liu Residence was much safer and more reliable.
"It's my duty to share Her Majesty's worries."
