I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"it is good."

After Wen Qingzhi agreed, Zhang Xing drove her to the Regent's Palace.

On the way, Chunyu kept crying, fearing that something might happen to Wen Qingzhi and she wouldn't be able to come back.

Wen Qingzhi comforted her all the way. After arriving at the Regent's Palace, she asked them to go back and went in alone.

Seeing Wen Qingzhi being invited in so easily, Zhang Xing couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his girl in his heart.

Wen Qingzhi entered the Prince Regent's Mansion and arrived at Feng Yunxiao's courtyard with ease. The housekeeper smiled and led her way.

"Miss, you haven't been to the mansion for a while. Without you, everyone in the mansion feels empty."

Wen Qingzhi, who was walking, stumbled and almost fell to the ground when she heard this.

She steadied her steps and looked at the palace's steward in surprise, "Don't...talk nonsense. The Regent would be displeased if he heard."

"how could be?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "The prince is also happy for the young lady to come, otherwise - how could it be so easy to enter the gate of the prince's palace?"

At first, when they saw Wen Qingzhi, they just thought she was a pitiful person.

Later, they found out because she went in and out of the palace repeatedly and took away the prince's confidants.

Their prince trusts this girl.

After that, there were always rumors about Wen Qingzhi in the capital, and they were pleased and admired when they heard them.

In addition, Wen Qingzhi accompanied their prince to the disaster relief mission, and after returning, they had heard some rumors. Naturally, they liked Wen Qingzhi more.

Faced with the sudden enthusiasm, Wen Qingzhi didn't know what to say.

She pretended not to hear and walked straight ahead.

At this moment, she was very annoyed.

Why is the Regent's Palace so big? I walked for a long time but still haven't reached Feng Yunxiao's yard.

"During the time you and the prince were away, we were worried, afraid something might happen to you. We didn't feel at ease until we heard the news of your triumphant return."

"Seeing the young lady walking briskly and looking rosy, this old servant feels relieved."

Wen Qingzhi didn't know what the palace's housekeeper was trying to do, she just thought he was very noisy.

She didn't know how long it took before she arrived at Feng Junxiao's yard.

The moment she saw the yard, she rushed forward as if she had found her savior.

Inside, Feng Yunxiao was sipping tea when he was startled by the loud sound of the door opening. His hand trembled, and some tea spilled out.

He looked up and looked at Wen Qingzhi who rushed in.

"What?"

"Enter the palace."

Wen Qingzhi glanced at the housekeeper behind her and said, "I'm here."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the butler's face. He smiled, nodded, and walked out.

Wen Qingzhi came to Feng Yunxiao's side and breathed a sigh of relief, "Enter the palace."

Feng Yunxiao didn't understand what was going on. He looked at the housekeeper's receding figure and asked in confusion, "What did you do to offend me?"

Wen Qingzhi was speechless. "No, it's just that your housekeeper talks too much and I don't know how to answer."

Hearing this, Feng Yunxiao said nothing else, but he also had no intention of entering the palace.

He is still angry.

Wen Qingzhi pursed her lips and looked at him.

Feng Yunxiao was neither hurried nor nervous at all, and just drank his tea by himself.

He was dissatisfied with Wen Qingzhi's different attitudes towards him and Zheng Lin.

Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhi said, "Since you're not going, I'm going back."

After saying that, she turned and walked out.

"stop."

Feng Junxiao asked, "Did the king let you go?"

He snorted coldly.

"What exactly does the Regent want to do? It's you who wants me to rescue people, and it's you who won't enter the palace."

Wen Qingzhi then spoke in a cold voice, "If Your Highness hasn't made up his mind, please think about it for a few more days. When you have made up your mind, come find me."

After saying this, Wen Qingzhi stopped talking nonsense and walked away.

Before I even reached the door, I saw it slam shut.

She turned around and saw Feng Yunxiao making a gesture to withdraw his hand. It seemed that he must have used his internal energy to close the door.

The wicked men stared at each other, neither willing to speak first.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the snow outside stopped.

Inside the room, the charcoal fire crackled as the two men stared at each other. Their eyes flashed with the gleam of swords, and neither of them was willing to give in, and neither was willing to let the other go.

After an unknown amount of time, the temperature in the room gradually cooled down. Feng Yunxiao glanced over and saw that the charcoal fire in the brazier had completely gone out.

Wen Qingzhi has always been afraid of the cold. The temperature in the room was getting lower and lower, so she rubbed her hands.

Feng Junxiao also thought about the fact that she was afraid of the cold, so he finally lowered his head.

He said, "Go into the palace."

Feng Junxiao took a step forward, and Wen Qingzhi followed behind her. When the two of them came out, the sun was setting, and only half of their heads were visible.

When they arrived at the palace, it was already dark. The fact that Feng Yunxiao had brought his badge into the palace quickly reached the emperor's ears.

...Foreign minister, send someone to the harem late at night.

No one will be happy.

Everyone understands this truth, how could Feng Junxiao not understand it?

This is what Wen Qingzhi doesn't understand. If it is really because of conditions, what are the conditions that can make Feng Yunxiao achieve such a situation?

Are you even willing to make enemies with the emperor just to protect that concubine?

Thinking of this, a reason emerged in Wen Qingzhi's mind.

This reason made her feel cold.

Could it be that Feng Yunxiao had an affair with the Empress, and that the child was his? That's why he was so eager to protect the child at all costs.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Feng Junxiao, and her scalp tingled.

Feng Yunxiao had a face like an immortal in a painting. He leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes to rest.

His trembling eyelashes in the candlelight made him look as pure as a child without any scheming.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Feng Junxiao suddenly spoke, slowly opened his eyes and looked into his eyes.

Wen Qingzhi's heart sank, and she glanced to the side, "Nothing."

She was panicking. If it was really as she guessed... she would be in great danger if she entered the palace this time, regardless of whether she could protect the concubine and the child.

I really... regret it.

Yes, she regretted it now.

You shouldn't have entered the palace.

She took two deep breaths, trying to find out about the concubine's situation.

"Your Highness, what is the current condition of the concubine you mentioned? Are the palace doctors really helpless?"

"Have."

“…Then why—”

"Your medical skills are better than theirs."

Feng Yunxiao said simply, "If something really happens, your chances of saving them and their child are much higher than those of the imperial doctors. This matter is of great importance, and I cannot take any risks."

After hearing what he said, it was hard for Wen Qingzhi not to have wild thoughts.

"Is that all?"

"otherwise?"

Feng Junxiao raised his eyebrows, "What exactly do you want to ask?"

Wen Qingzhi almost blurted out her thoughts, but fortunately she held them back.

She shook her head, "Nothing, if that's the case... I'll do my best."

"Wen Qingzhi, it's not about trying your best, it's about having to do it."
