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

"Leaving the palace?"

Feng Junsu's brows relaxed slightly, and his tone brightened, "You want to leave the palace so soon?"

He quipped playfully, "Who was it before? I've already told you clearly, but you refused to leave. So you ended up getting beaten like a harlequin cat?"

"..."

"I don't know when the Emperor learned to joke."

Wen Qingzhi said indifferently, "I have done what I was supposed to do. As for the result, it will be what it is. After the work is done, I will naturally return home. The New Year is coming soon, and I don't want to miss the reunion with my family."

Feng Yunsu nodded, "That does make sense. In that case, let's leave in two days."

"Yes, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Before she could get up, Feng Junsu had already left, leaving the two of them there wondering what his purpose was in coming here today.

"The Emperor has been acting a little strangely lately."

Chang Yan was confused. After thinking about it for a while, she asked, "Could it be that the emperor... has taken a fancy to you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about."

She reached out and tapped Chang Yan on the head, "Pack your things, we're going back."

"Ouch!"

Chang Yan felt pain and laughed, "It's not true, so why hit someone?"

During the time the two of them had been in the palace, Feng Yunsu had sent them a lot of clothes and jewelry. They decided they couldn't take these things with them, or else they wouldn't be able to explain themselves, so they left them all in the box.

The next morning, just as they woke up, they heard the servant come to announce, "Two girls, Miss Qinghuai is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Huai, dressed in a brocade dress, walked in, holding a goose feather fan in her hand, and walked towards the two of them with light steps.

"Miss Wen, Miss Chang."

Qing Huai turned slightly sideways as a gesture of greeting.

Wen and Chang noticed Qing Huai's clothes. She wore a golden hairpin on her head that did not match her status, and she staggered in front of them.

She had a smile on her face, and her originally thin cheeks were now rounder. It seemed that she had been living well in the past half month.

"Is there a problem?"

Chang Yan asked.

Facing the indifferent Wen Hou, the smile on Qing Huai's face suddenly stopped. She glanced around and asked, "Miss, could you please send the servants away?"

Hearing this, Lan'er and the others looked up, and after meeting Wen Qingzhi's gaze, they walked out obediently.

After the door was closed, the expression on Qing Huai's face disappeared instantly and was replaced by a worried look.

She lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the two girls are going back?"

"I've done what I need to do. If I don't go back, what's the point of staying here?"

An embarrassed look flashed across Qing Huai's face as he said, "The Prince Regent has sent a message that the two girls must stay in the palace to look after the Little Fragrant Concubine and the Dragon Fetus."

Chang Yan was instantly furious, "What? I still need to take care of you?"

Her eyes accidentally swept across Wen Qingzhi's cheek, and seeing the wound that had not yet healed, she was furious. "It seems to me that there is no need for us to take care of it. We are redundant."

"She was able to cause such harm to others, so she must have devised some schemes to protect herself and her child. What are we doing here? Waiting to be harmed again?"

Chang Yan curled her lips, walked aside and ignored Qing Huai.

Qing Huai frowned slightly, "Miss Chang, be careful with your words."

Chang Yan paused. She was a little guilty at first, but now she was tough. "Why, Miss Qing Huai, have you become so powerful that you can speak so confidently?"

"But I wonder if the Regent knows that you are so close to the Emperor?"

Qing Huai's eyes froze, and Wen Qingzhi caught his movement. "Presumably, the Regent doesn't know, right?"

Recently, she has also wondered why Feng Junxiao did not send anyone to rescue her that day.

From what she knew about Feng Yunxiao, he was not a man who would go back on his word. Since he had promised to protect her and Chang Yan, Feng Yunxiao would definitely do it.

He would not break his promise for such a small matter, so... Afterwards, Wen Qingzhi also wondered whether Qing Huai had really spread the news.

But some things don’t make sense.

Feng Junxiao certainly doesn't feel comfortable with a spy like Qing Huai in the palace. If she really disobeyed Feng Junxiao's orders, would Feng Junxiao not know?

All this is very unreasonable.

Therefore, Wen Qingzhi did not act rashly and cooperate with Feng Yunsu.

Why did she leave the palace? Firstly, it was the end of the year and she didn't want to miss the reunion with her family. Secondly, she wanted to find Feng Yunxiao to ask him what exactly he meant.

A man who breaks his promise is not a gentleman.

No matter how unconventional Feng Yunxiao's behavior is, he will never cross the bottom line.

Qing Huai smiled sweetly, covering up her embarrassment, and said, "I am the Regent's most trusted spy in the palace. No matter what I do, it will not harm the prince. So..."

She looked at the two of them provocatively, "No matter what I do, Your Majesty will think that I am right."

As she spoke, she moved closer to the two of them.

The moment they met, she passed the note to Wen Qingzhi, then bumped into her nonchalantly, saying smugly, "So, you two girls should be more sensible and not make the Regent angry."

Wen Qingzhi clenched the note in her hand. She saw the determination to die in Qing Huai's eyes, and her heart trembled. Her expression remained the same. "So, you mean, we have to listen to you?"

"Haha~"

Qing Huai laughed out loud, "I didn't say that. Everything depends on how you understand it, young lady."

Looking at Wen Qingzhi's eyes as calm as water, Qing Huai felt extremely envious.

Her eyes became moist: Miss Wen, I wish you a smooth journey, good health and happiness in the days to come.

"It's getting late. I've said everything I need to say. It's up to you ladies to decide what to do. I'll take my leave."

She stepped back with a smile in her eyes, but Chang Yan felt extremely desolate.

Chang Yan paused and glanced at Wen Qingzhi.

Wen Qingzhi's eyes were cold and she no longer looked down on Huai.

She said, "The arm can never twist the thigh. The regent's words are important, but the emperor's words are the imperial decree."
