It was the middle of the night, yet she dared to come into the forest alone to intercept imperial concubines. At this moment, a phrase suddenly flashed through Noble Lady Yuan's mind. The skilled are bold! And what sort of girl was worthy of such a phrase? There was no need to think to know that it was definitely Feng Yu Heng. That was why Noble Lady Yuan's first reaction was that Feng Yu Heng had come. She felt that everything that she had done was quite secretive, but in the end, it could not escape Feng Yu Heng's eyes. Fu Ya … would she really not be able to go to the South? Were all of her plans going to fail?
Noble Lady Yuan's body began to tremble, but it was not from fear. Instead, it was from anger. But at this time, Yue Xiu muttered from the side: "It doesn't seem to be Princess Ji 'an."
"Hm?" Noble Lady Yuan was stunned, "It's not?"
"She's quite a bit taller than Princess Ji 'an." She pointed at the figure ahead and said: "Master, look. That's not Princess Ji' an's height."
Only then did Noble Lady Yuan calm down and take a closer look. Upon looking, she really could see that there was something different. Sure enough, the person standing across from her was quite a bit taller than Feng Yu Heng. There were also not many complicated decorations on her hair. It was purely her height. She immediately let out a sigh of relief. Now that she was certain that it was not Feng Yu Heng, the worry, fear and anger that she had felt earlier dissipated, but she immediately became angry once more. Noble Lady Yuan quickly walked over to greet that person and fiercely shouted: "Who is it that's standing there?"
Upon hearing her question, the person on the other side also began to move, quickly stepping forward to greet her. With a bright smile, she said: "Imperial Concubine, Yan 'er specially came to pick you up."
With the words Yan 'er and the person coming closer, Noble Lady Yuan finally recognized that this person was Lu Yan from the Lu Family. This truly caused her to become quite angry, as she immediately said very impolitely: "Who is Lu Yan? This One does not recognize her! "She had just been demoted today, and this One really could not change her attitude.
Of course, Lu Yan did not care about this. As she saw it, as long as Noble Lady Yuan was happy, she could call whatever she wanted. As long as she did not call the Emperor, it was fine. Of course, she also understood that Noble Lady Yuan did not have a good impression of her, and she did not really want to arrange the marriage between His Highness the eighth prince and the Lu Family. As for why the current situation had developed, she could not figure it out. But no matter what, since the Emperor had spoken, this matter was already a foregone conclusion. No one could change it. This marriage was one that Noble Lady Yuan had no choice but to acknowledge, even if she did not want to. As for Lu Yan, regardless of what status this mother-in-law had, as long as she wanted to live a good life with His Highness the eighth prince, she had to curry favor with her.
Lu Yan took half a step forward and continued to say with a smile: "Your Highness, Yan 'er is the daughter of the Lu Family. It's the marriage that His Majesty personally agreed to today. It's the person that will be betrothed to His Highness the eighth prince!" Are you pretending not to know me? It's fine. We can get to know each other again. As Lu Yan spoke, she affectionately hooked her arm around Noble Lady Yuan's arm. Noble Lady Yuan unhappily struggled a few times, but she did not let go. Only when Noble Lady Yuan was helpless did she say: "Your Highness, Yan 'er is your future daughter-in-law. It would be best if we don't become enemies. Although our Lu Family has been messed with a bit by the Yao family, that is in terms of business. It has nothing to do with politics. No matter what, my father is still a standard first rank official. If he wants to make a comeback, it's something that can happen overnight. Who knows if the Lu Family will regain its momentum once the Winter Hunt is over. Also, business is not the only path in this world. Father is focused on sharing the country's burdens and solving problems for the ruler. Doing his best as the prime minister is what he should be doing. Your Highness, what do you think? "
Noble Lady Yuan snorted coldly: "You mean to say that this One still needs to curry favor with your Lu Family? You must not forget that although this One has been demoted to the position of noble lady, when your father sees this One, he still needs to kowtow and salute. This One's son is still a prince, and he is still a general of the Southern Border that controls a large amount of military power. Our status will always be higher than that of an official. "
"That's natural." Lu Yan's small mouth was very sweet, "Your Highness will always be Your Highness, and His Highness will always be His Highness. Look, even someone like His Highness the fourth prince, who once tried to force an abdication and started a rebellion, hasn't he already been released? As Yan 'er sees it, His Majesty's attitude is no longer as stiff as before. This means that blood ties cannot be severed no matter what. " She spoke with a smile, and just as Noble Lady Yuan felt a little better, Lu Yan's expression became stern once more. Her words also carried a warning, as she said: "Your Highness must not be happy too early. These are all facts, but this is only temporary. Your Highness, think about it. In the future, there will come a day when a new emperor ascends the throne. At that time, the difference will be too great."
These words pierced Noble Lady Yuan's heart. Noble Lady Yuan was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that Emperor Tianwu would one day pass away. When that time came, if nothing unexpected happened, old ninth, Xuan Tianming, would ascend the throne. How could her son have anything to do with it! So …
Noble Lady Yuan was thinking to herself when she heard Lu Yan ask: "Your Highness is not at the banquet. What have you come here for?"
Noble Lady Yuan said in a bad mood: "This One had nothing to do and came out to relax."
"Oh." Lu Yan smiled and did not ask any further, only saying: "Then Yan 'er will help you back!" As she said this, she really did help Noble Lady Yuan out of the forest. While walking, she said: "Although the Lu Family's business has been cut off by the Yao family, the good things outside are gone, but the manor is still not lacking. Mother heard that Your Highness loves Buddhism and specially prepared a jadeite smiling Buddha. When we return, Yan 'er will personally deliver it to the palace. I hope that Your Highness will not dislike it. "
Noble Lady Yuan snorted coldly, "The palace is not lacking in nice things. Moreover, His Highness the eighth prince will occasionally send the nice things that he finds in the South to the palace. Your Lu family's things should be kept for yourselves."
"What sort of thing is Your Highness saying." Lu Yan was not angry in the slightest, "Distant water cannot quench a present thirst. In the end, His Highness the eighth prince is far away. It is best for Your Highness to have someone at your side that understands you. Your Highness, think about it. Even His Majesty has agreed to this marriage. Who else could be more considerate than us? "Lu Yan advised with a smile and a confident expression. However, she did not know that Noble Lady Yuan was looking at her coldly while thinking about how she should ruin this marriage before the new year.
Noble Lady Yuan and Lu Yan returned to the banquet together. The people that saw them thought that the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had gone out to quietly chat. Nobody knew that Noble Lady Yuan had actually done such a large thing.
Noble Lady Yuan returned to the banquet, but Consort Li was about to leave. When she left, she informed the Empress that she was not feeling well and could not continue to sit with her. The Empress did not say anything, only nodding and allowing her to return to her tent to rest. Just after Consort Li returned to her tent, Feng Fen Dai quietly stood up and followed behind Consort Li.
Fen Dai's actions were seen by quite a few people, but Feng Fen Dai was not some sort of character. She was just a normal female member of the family. Nobody paid too much attention to her; however, who knew that this time, Feng Fen Dai had very easily entered Consort Li's tent. And all of this was because she had said something to the servant standing guard outside the tent. She said: "If you don't let me in, I will speak of the matter of Her Highness Consort Li harming people and have His Majesty deal with it."
In truth, she did not know what Imperial Concubine Li had done, but based on what she had heard during the day, she was able to make a rough guess. Either way, she had done something that was not too good. Using this as a threat was the most direct.
Very quickly, Fen Dai was invited into Consort Li's tent. The servant walked over to Consort Li's side and quietly whispered a few things. After that, Consort Li's face turned pale. Looking at Fen Dai, she even took a couple steps back. She then waved her hand and dismissed the servant.
Fen Dai smiled and went forward. Very politely, she saluted Consort Li. Consort Li collapsed into her chair and very dejectedly said: "Forget it. Get up and speak." After saying this, she looked at Fen Dai then let out a long sigh, "Since you can use that sort of thing to threaten this One, you must know quite a bit. Forget it, this One already knew that this matter could not be concealed, and I did not have any hopes of being able to remain unscathed after causing such a large disaster. Feng family's young miss, for you to come and find this One, you must have your own goal. Speak, what do you want from this One? "
Feng Fen Dai stood up and very impolitely picked a chair for herself to sit in. This caused Consort Li to frown; however, she did not say anything. Fen Dai told her: "I do know quite a bit, but up to this point, I have not said a single word. Otherwise, Fen Dai would not have come to see imperial consort tonight. As for whether or not I will say anything in the future, that will depend on imperial consort's attitude. "
Consort Li trembled. She had always been a very frail person. Fen Dai's confident attitude was even more of a stab to her already frail nerves. She was a little unable to endure it, yet she did not have a servant at her side. She could not even find someone to rely on. This caused Consort Li's emotions to begin to crumble.
At this time, however, Fen Dai did not say anything. She just looked at Consort Li happily, but in Consort Li's eyes, it would be better if Fen Dai said something. The more she looked, the more panicked she felt.
Finally, Consort Li's mental breakdown began to spread. She curled up in the large chair and raised her legs. Hugging her knees, she endlessly trembled. Her teeth chattered as she began to mutter, "I did not do it on purpose. I just wanted to steal her tiger. I just wanted to make her feel afraid, so I sent her a heater, but I never thought that the tiger would hurt Feiyu. I like that child. I would not harm him. I really did not think that things would become like this! Let me go, let me go! All of this is because of that imperial daughter. If it were not for her, none of these things would have happened. It's all because of that imperial daughter! Get rid of her. You must get rid of her! "
Consort Li's words caused Feng Fen Dai to be completely shocked. She never thought that the Emperor's grandson being bitten was also caused by Consort Li. Also, this Consort Li was usually quiet, but when she became vicious, she was able to steal Feng Yu Heng's tiger. Sure enough, none of the imperial concubines in the palace were good people. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to give birth to a prince and climb up to the position of imperial concubine. It had to be known that the inner courtyard of the palace was a place where people were eaten without spitting out the bones! But this was also good. What she wanted was not a birth mother of a prince that had no desires. Instead, she wanted hope. She wanted hope. It would be best if she hated the same person. This Consort Li really did fit her requirements.
Fen Dai looked at Consort Li and stood up to personally pour her some tea. She then fed her some tea then patted her back until Consort Li calmed down a little. Only then did she soften her voice and say: "Imperial concubine, don't be afraid. I did not come to harm you. I already knew about everything, but I did not say a single word. Imperial concubine, trust me. I am standing on your side."
