The old emperor looked at the communication order that was hung up by Ji Wushuang, and his head was buzzing with pain. The timing of her arrival was really too coincidental, so coincidental that the old emperor had the illusion that "Ji Wushuang was waiting to catch him by the tail."

Otherwise, why would Ji Wushuang come to arrest him just after he brought Feng Zhen back?

Oh my god, my head hurts.

"Or... Zhen'er should leave, so as not to affect the relationship between you and my sister. Grandfather, I am already infinitely grateful that you were willing to take me in after my mother's death. Thank you..."

As Feng Zhen spoke, he saluted the old emperor with his thin and broken body trembling. He looked as dilapidated and pitiful as a candle in the wind. Even though the old emperor had a hard heart, he still let out a sigh.

"It's okay. Xiao Wushuang is too smart. So whether you leave or not, she should have guessed your presence, so it's meaningless. Grandfather will explain to Xiao Wushuang in person. During this time, you just stay in the yard and don't leave. Don't let Xiao Wushuang see you."

The old emperor used his eyes to comfort Feng Zhen and tried to make his voice sound gentler.

But this kind of "gentleness" was just what the old emperor thought of himself. When Feng Zhen heard all this, it was naked humiliation and contempt.

Why!

They are all your blood!

She could only rely on Feng Zi's death to gain a little mercy.

But what about Ji Wushuang?

The old emperor held her in such high esteem and protection that for her, he wouldn't even let her leave the courtyard!

It’s also the bloodline of the old emperor!

Why should she be inferior to others? !

Feng Zhen harbored resentment towards the old emperor, but now she was no longer the straightforward and innocent child who was infinitely spoiled in the past. She had learned to hide her thoughts, to disguise herself, and to flatter.

Feng Zhen raised his eyes like a frightened deer, looking at the old emperor with attachment and trust, and finally nodded: "Okay, Zhen'er will listen to...Grandfather."

Feng Zhen suddenly changed the way he addressed himself. Although the old emperor was surprised, he did not stop him.

Grandfather is grandfather.

If it weren't for Xia Yi... No, if it weren't for his negligence, the fate of the two children would not have been like this. Strictly speaking, he was also wrong. Even so, why should he be so harsh on a child?

Moreover, she has suffered a lot over the years. Feng Zi ended her life in such a decisive and painful way. She must have been very scared, right?

Hey……

Since Feng Ying promised Xia Yi to spare their lives, she shouldn't interfere too much. In that case, maybe it's okay for him to take care of her to the greatest extent possible?

"Then take care of yourself. Grandfather will be back soon."

"it is good."

Feng Zhen smiled slightly. She tried hard to maintain her innocent appearance, but having lost her spiritual veins, spiritual power, and spiritual bones, she was already just an empty shell.

Because Feng Ying had fed her a lot of rare treasures in the past, her appearance did not age instantly, but that kind of heavy "old" air emanated from the inside out and could not be concealed no matter what.

This "innocent" smile not only did not evoke pity from the old emperor, but also made him feel inexplicably awkward. He could only pat her shoulder, leave her some health-preserving spiritual objects, and then turned around and went to pick up his granddaughter impatiently.

Feng Zhen stared at the old emperor's back, wanting to crush the "spiritual object" in his hand to vent his anger, but in the end he couldn't bear to do so.

Because now, apart from the old emperor, no one will take care of her.

These "spiritual objects" are her only lifeline.

Feng Zhen just lowered her eyes and stuffed the spiritual object into her mouth. She chewed it mechanically and swallowed it.

When he looked up again, there was only coldness in Feng Zhen's eyes.

Ji Wushuang...

Ji Wushuang...

I'm dead anyway, so it would be great if I could drag you down with me...

……

In the outer star field of Fengxing City, Ji Wushuang and Zhu Yan were sitting on a small boat playing chess. When she looked up, she saw the anxious figure of the old emperor.

Ji Wushuang was stunned, stepped away from the chessboard and stood up and asked, "Why did you come here in person?"

This was the second time that the old emperor had seen Ji Wushuang "face to face". Those previous "peeks" did not count. Ji Wushuang now seemed to have grown up a little compared to before. There was an unfathomable aura between his brows. When facing Ji Wushuang, the old emperor actually felt like he was facing Feng Ying.

No, it is an existence more mysterious and profound than Feng Ying.

This……

The old emperor was unsure for a moment and said hesitantly: "Are you... Xiao Wushuang?"

Ji Wushuang smiled: "Grandfather, I am Ji Wushuang."

"Hey, hey, hey, grandpa is here to pick you up." The old emperor forced a smile. "Grandpa will never let anyone you don't want to see appear in front of you, don't worry."

Ji Wushuang raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "She? Not them? So it seems that something happened to Feng Zi? Is that why you accepted Feng Zhen?"

The old emperor broke out in a cold sweat: "..." Good fellow, Xiao Wushuang was much more perceptive than his unfortunate daughter. He simply didn't hide anything and said frankly: "Yes, Feng Zi died tragically and her body was not found. Feng Zhen was a useless person without spiritual power. Outside, except... except... Hey, at that time, she was half-naked, and her whole body was covered with signs of abuse. I felt really sorry for her... That's why I brought her back. Don't be angry."

Ji Wufang did lose her composure for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.

Feng Ying is Feng Ying, and the old emperor is the old emperor. She cannot take it for granted that just because the old emperor is Feng Ying's father, he will give up all his bloodline for Feng Ying and her.

This is neither fair nor sensible.

The cause and effect between her and Feng Zhen was severed as early as when she accepted the Xiayi inheritance.

So she doesn't need to take the old emperor's choice to heart, right?

She is not a perfect person, nor is she a treasure in the world, so she cannot be loved unconditionally by everyone.

Therefore, people's hearts are biased, which is human nature.

Facing Ji Wushuang's peaceful smile, the old emperor was stunned for a moment.

He is not a fool. He was able to climb to the position of Emperor Qianyun by stepping on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Naturally, he has vision and judgment.

At this moment he suddenly realized that he had lost his only chance to enter his "granddaughter's" heart...

The old emperor felt bitter but helpless. He watched Feng Zhen grow up and loved and cherished her completely when she was young. He couldn't bear to see her suffer.

Oh, never mind.

Some things, after all, can't be forced...
