Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"What are your majesty and Mr. Xiao doing?"

Before the person arrived, the voice was heard first. A male voice with a light smile came from outside the hall.

Emperor Li, who was originally furious, could not help but freeze when he heard this familiar voice. He looked at the moon-white figure outside the palace door with some embarrassment, pursed his lips and said, "Why is Lord Feng here?"

The man whom she called Feng Jun seemed not to notice the embarrassment on Emperor Li's face at all. He sneered with unknown meaning from his nose, walked into the hall slowly with his skirt lifted. After raising his eyes to glance around the hall, he spoke slowly.

"Chang Ran ran so hard that her legs were about to break. She said you went crazy in the Jinming Palace and wanted to pick up a sword to kill people. She begged me to come and see. Of course I had to come and see the fun." He turned his head and glanced at the eunuch behind him indifferently. His attitude was frank, and there was no guilty look on his face for betraying someone so easily.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Li glared fiercely at his personal female official who was following behind Feng Jun with her head lowered, shrinking her body and trying to reduce her presence. The condemnation in her eyes was very obvious.

The eunuch Chang Ran received her gaze, silently lowered his head even lower, and moved back, just like a wooden statue.

"Your Majesty is going to kill someone, so what is Lord Xiao doing here? Tsk tsk tsk, if I'm not mistaken, what you're holding in your hand is the corner of your Majesty's sleeve, right?"

Feng Jun did not take the quarrel between the master and servant to heart, but instead turned his attention to Xiao Guijun who was standing aside. He was pale and shaky at this moment, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the fear that Emperor Li was really going to swing his sword at him.

Hearing Feng Jun's words of pretended surprise, he suddenly came back to his senses and met Feng Jun's narrow eyes full of teasing. His body trembled, and he hurriedly threw the piece of robe in his hand to the ground, and then his body softened and he fell to the ground.

"Why are you here to join in the fun?" Not accustomed to his look of enjoying the show, Emperor Li scolded him with a sullen face.

She and Feng Jun were a young couple. Although their relationship was ordinary, they had experienced the bloody battle for the throne together and had a friendship like that of an old wife and husband and comrades-in-arms.

Moreover, the Crown Princess was weak and unable to inherit the throne, and she had few children. Although Emperor Li and Feng Jun had reached a tacit understanding to choose another princess to succeed the throne, she still felt guilty towards Feng Jun in her heart, and therefore had always been very tolerant of his character of watching the fun and not minding any trouble.

Therefore, compared to the condescending attitude she had when facing Xiao Guijun, her tone now was not much better, but it was more like the embarrassing complaints between a wife and a husband when one party was caught in an embarrassing situation by the other.

Sure enough, Feng Jun was not afraid after hearing her words. Instead, he rolled his eyes at her and walked to a chair beside him and sat down. Then he said lazily, "If I hadn't come, I'm afraid the imperial secret that the emperor killed his son and you hanged yourself would spread all over the capital tomorrow."

"Who dares!" As soon as he said this, Emperor Li's face suddenly turned cold, and he squinted his eyes and glanced at the palace servants who were kneeling on the ground.

"Okay, why are you angry at them? I just want to ask you one thing, do you really want to kill that child?" Seeing that the palace people were trembling with fear, Feng Jun glanced at Emperor Li impatiently.

When this was mentioned, Emperor Li's anger, which had just subsided due to Feng Jun's interruption, suddenly rose again, and he said angrily: "That evil creature committed such a heinous act, and he is unworthy of being a descendant of my Wanqi family, so he should be killed!"

"Well, I'll go with you, and take Xiao Guijun with you. The two of us will watch you do it, and it will be considered as sending the child on his final journey." Feng Jun glanced casually at the newly stained nail polish on his fingertips, and then prepared to get up and walk out of the hall.

"No! No way!" Before Emperor Li could speak, Xiao Guijun, who had been sitting on the ground, spoke first. With tears streaming down his face, he crawled a few steps on his knees to Feng Jun and hugged his thighs. "Feng Jun, Feng Jun, you watched Ge'er grow up. She is the most gentle and kind person. How can I, an old man, send her off now?"

Emperor Li was also very upset by Feng Jun's words. She only said those words when she was angry. In fact, she would never really kill her daughter with her own hands. But Feng Jun not only did not persuade her, but also made sarcastic remarks on the side, making her feel that she was in a dilemma whether to go or not, and could only stand there with a sullen face.

"Noble Lord Xiao, it's useless for you to beg me. His Majesty has spoken with all his might. He said that he would take the life of his own child. This child's flesh and blood were given by her mother and father. Now her biological mother wants to take her back. What can you and I do?" Feng Jun glanced at Emperor Li who was standing there awkwardly. He made an embarrassed expression and was about to reach out to help Noble Lord Xiao.

"Look at you crying so much that your clothes and hair are messed up, and your eyes are swollen like walnuts. Stop crying, pack up, and come with me to see Changge off for the last time." Seeing that Emperor Li still had no reaction, Feng Jun continued to add fuel to the fire.

"No, no..." Xiao Guijun couldn't understand Feng Jun's playing hard to get. She thought he was really going to drag her to watch Wanqi Changge being executed, and she burst into tears.

"Enough!" As if he could no longer bear Xiao Guijun crying as if Wanqi Changge was gone, Emperor Li felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and opened his mouth to scold.

"The Third Emperor's daughter Wanqi Changge has behaved in an absurd and rebellious manner. She is demoted to a commoner and confined to the Third Emperor's daughter's mansion. She is not allowed to leave without an imperial decree!"

"Your Majesty the Xiao family has behaved perversely and violated moral principles and etiquette. I have been demoted to a robe changer... to a servant of the king, to atone for my past sins!"

Emperor Li coldly threw down the two imperial edicts, then threw the sword in his hand fiercely to the ground. Then he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall without looking back.

After hearing the final verdict, Xiao Guijun turned pale and lost his strength. He loosened his arms around Feng Jun's thighs and collapsed to the ground, mumbling "No, don't..."

Feng Jun looked at Xiao Guijun, whose face was ashen, and felt sorry for him. He sighed and comforted him, "Go back. At least you have saved your life."

But Xiao Guijun was obviously no longer able to listen. He just kept repeating what he said, as if he was in a nightmare.

Feng Jun shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and ordered the palace servants to send the desperate Xiao Guijun back to his own bedroom, then he walked out of the Jinming Palace.

……

Changsun Mansion, in the guest room.

"My dear, please go and take a rest. You have been up all day and all night. Your body can't hold on any longer."

Guan Cen knelt in front of the bed with red eyes, her voice choked, and she tried to persuade her husband as if he were in a trance, staring at the person on the bed intently.
