Forced love, an inescapable fate

When Feng Zong and An Ran were about to leave, Mu Qingli remembered that she seemed to have mentioned to Feng Zong before she fell into a coma that night that she wanted him to take care of Jiang Ci. Although she had been in correspondence with Jiang Ci in the past few years, she had no idea about his situation in Shangjing. She didn't have time to ask when she first met him, so she asked about Jiang Ci's situation when the two were about to leave.

"Brother, I wonder how my younger brother is doing in the capital now?"

Hearing this, Feng Zong thought for a while.

It has to be said that Jiang Ci really gave him a great shock. In just three years, Jiang Ci's strength in Shangjing is no less than that of the eldest prince Jiang Xian and the fourth prince Jiang Chi, the two princes most likely to win the position of crown prince. This was something he had never imagined before.

Moreover, Jiang Ci is very popular among the people and has a good response among the people. Even some ministers in the court who have never participated in party disputes are very satisfied with him. Judging from the current situation, Jiang Ci has a good chance of becoming the crown prince.

Feng Zong naturally knew that Mu Qingli wasn't simply asking about Jiang Ci's current situation. He knew how much she cared about him. In that critical moment, she only thought of Jiang Ci. So if Jiang Ci was really as committed as he was now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to help him get that position.

Moreover, through the contact during this period of time, Jiang Ci is not only calm and decisive in doing things, but also has excellent intelligence and strategy. His ability is indeed much stronger than the eldest prince and the fourth prince. If he is helped to become the crown prince, it will also be a blessing for the people of Jing Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Feng Zong smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. Don't worry, I promised you, and I won't break my promise. I will help the Sixth Prince achieve his wish. Just put your heart back in your stomach and concentrate on recuperating. As for the rest, I will see to it. Besides, your brother is not a simple person. Not only is he not weak, but he is very strong. Even without my help, he can get the position he wants, but it will take a little more effort. Okay, you have a good rest and don't think about other things. Now the most important thing for you is to get well. An Ran and I are still waiting for you, my sister, to arrange the wedding. I have submitted the documents of our annulment to His Majesty. Now I have to wait for you to recover so that I can quickly marry your beloved sister-in-law home."

With Feng Zong's words, Mu Qingli's worries were finally realized. She immediately smiled with her eyes curved and said sweetly, "Goodbye, brother and sister-in-law."

After An Ran and Feng Zong left, Mu Qingli felt that her body was really exhausted from all the ordeal. It might also be because of the medicine Wan Yue fed her before. She felt dizzy and fell asleep in a short while.

After Jiang Ci left the room, he called Bai Yu and Wan Yue to the study.

Wanyue still serves Mu Qingli as before, while Baiyu becomes the housekeeper of the Princess's Mansion. Most of the maids and guards in the Princess's Mansion are also his people. In addition to these, he also arranged other secret guards to guard around the Princess's Mansion.

Jiang Ci tapped his fingers on the table as he listened to Bai Yu report on the recent developments in the capital, but he was obviously a little distracted.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince has secretly sent people to the general's mansion many times, hoping to win over General Feng. Although he was rejected by General Feng, he still refused to give up. Now they have set their sights on the princess. They have sent many precious medicinal herbs to the mansion, both openly and secretly. I have no choice but to accept them. Your Highness, should we stop them?"

However, Bai Yu waited for a long time, but Jiang Ci did not speak. He and Wan Yue looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Wan Yue tentatively spoke again: "Your Highness, are you listening?"

Jiang Ci finally came back to his senses, still thinking about the happy scene of Mu Qingli, Feng Zong and Anran. He couldn't help but feel even more disappointed. After not seeing each other for three years, they had become strangers after all.

It was obvious that they relied on each other before.

Just as Wanyue and Baiyu looked at each other, Jiang Ci spoke lightly.

"Don't worry about their little tricks. No matter how much they try, they won't be able to get Feng Zong's help. As for the things they send, just accept them. Take as much as you can. My sister has woken up now, and I'm sure the news will spread soon. At this critical stage, they will definitely set their sights on the Princess Mansion. Send more people and don't let them take advantage of the opportunity. My sister's safety cannot afford any mistakes. I won't punish you two for what happened last time, but if there are any mistakes in the future, you know the rules of the Dark Guard Camp."

Although Jiang Ci spoke these words in a normal tone, Wanyue and Baiyu still heard a strong warning in his tone.

The two of them bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

After answering, Wan Yuedao thought of something again. Seeing that her master was obviously worried and in a bad mood, she still gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Your Highness, what should we do about Su Minsheng? You know how he feels about the princess. We can't just keep delaying him from seeing the princess. Besides, he's the imperial physician now, so it's not easy for us to stop him."

Hearing this, Jiang Ci covered his eyes, his face turned dark instantly, and the temperature of his body dropped several degrees.

Wan Yue suddenly felt that she shouldn't have asked this question just now, and what Jiang Ci said made her regret asking this question even more.

"Kill him. He's an eyesore."

Wanyue and Baiyu instantly felt cold sweat on their backs.

"Alas, my brother is the extremely arrogant and insolent Master Wen Muchuan, who looks down on everyone. Moreover, he is also a fiercely protective brother. If he touches Su Minsheng, wouldn't he have directly turned against Wen Muchuan? Moreover, they have the extremely powerful organization Xunjitang behind them. If they become enemies with them, it means that everything they have painstakingly built up over the years may collapse at any time. Therefore, these two brothers can only be friends, not enemies. So, is Your Highness crazy, actually wanting to kill Su Minsheng?"

But the two of them only dared to complain silently in their hearts.

Bai Yu felt that he had to say something to make his master give up this absolutely unacceptable idea.

He quickly organized his words, "Your Highness, Su Minsheng has been sent to the Imperial Hospital. He's now well-known and busy every day, so he doesn't have the spare time to bother the princess. Moreover, his relationship with Wen Muchuan is so bad that it's not appropriate for them to become an enemy. Your Highness doesn't like him, so I'll try to get more patients to come to him."

Jiang Ci naturally understood what Bai Yu had just said. Although he did find Su Minsheng particularly annoying now, he really couldn't touch him under the current circumstances.

After a moment, he restrained his breath, stood up and left. Wanyue and Baiyu finally felt relieved.
