A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

"Your daughter's name is Feng Jiutian?"

The old emperor asked in a deep voice.

"Yes," Feng Xiangyu replied, his palms slightly sweaty.

The old emperor was silent for a moment: "Your daughter is my son's destined one. She can enter the palace as an imperial concubine on a chosen day."

Feng Xiangyu was stunned for a moment, completely unable to react.

He never expected that Feng Jiutian would be so unlucky.

He had always thought that since this was a selection of the destined one, it would be fine as long as Feng Jiutian wasn't the destined one. Who knew that the Imperial Advisor was completely unmoved by either soft or hard tactics and wouldn't accept any bribes.

"This is truly an honor for my daughter. Your Majesty, I thank you again for your great kindness. However..."

Feng Xiangyu hesitated for a moment before stopping.

"Your humble servant accepts punishment!"

Feng Xiangyu knelt down with a thud, bowed his head and shouted loudly.

The old emperor looked at Feng Xiangyu with an inscrutable expression: "Oh? My dear minister, you have sent me an imperial concubine and have always been loyal to me. What crime have you committed?"

Feng Xiangyu didn't dare to raise his head at all, and kowtowed deeply, saying, "Your Majesty, my daughter was actually married to someone else before. It was my oversight that led to the submission of my daughter's name. Who knew that she would be chosen so conveniently?"

Feng Xiangyu said with annoyance and regret.

"Your Majesty, I have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor, and I beg for your punishment."

The old emperor paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, my dear minister, you're getting more and more confused. Am I that kind of person? Since Miss Feng is my son's destined one, I'm more than grateful. How could I possibly punish you? My dear minister, please get up. It wouldn't look good if others saw this."

Feng Xiangyu accepted the order and stood up, with a clearly visible red mark on his forehead.

The old emperor looked on with satisfaction: "In that case, my dear minister, go back and make your preparations. Choose a day to bring your daughter to the palace."

Feng Xiangyu accepted the order and took his leave.

Upon leaving the palace, Feng Xiangyu felt a cold sweat pouring down his body.

That step just now was incredibly risky.

The emperor's words clearly indicated that he already knew about Feng Jiutian's situation, which was why he summoned him to test him.

If he insists on lying, who knows what the consequences will be.

Fortunately, Feng Jiutian was the destined one, which pleased the emperor somewhat, and he spared the Prime Minister's family.

Feng Xiangyu lowered his gaze, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, calmed himself down, and strode towards the Prime Minister's residence.

Behind him, a man dressed in black silently watched Feng Xiangyu's figure until Feng Xiangyu disappeared from sight before turning away.

In a few leaps, they appeared in a palace within the royal palace complex.

"Master, the chosen one this time is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, Feng Jiutian. Feng Xiangyu has already returned to the mansion after receiving the order."

The man sitting in the main seat, grinning wickedly, was none other than Mo Shaoxie.

Mo Shaoxie raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, his face full of amusement.

Just as he predicted!

This looks interesting!

"The other men reported that the demon's aura disappeared when it reached the Imperial Preceptor's residence. The Imperial Preceptor's residence is just ahead, and it is heavily guarded. So the brothers simply returned, not daring to alert the enemy."

Mu Qing reported the details, word by word.

The unexpected mystery surrounding the Imperial Preceptor's residence made them all wary.

This was the first place where they knew absolutely nothing about the situation.

Moreover, it also has the aura of a demon, which is a great threat to the master.

Mo Shaoxie lowered his eyes, his smile casual yet cold.

The Imperial Preceptor's Residence...

interesting.

……

As soon as Feng Xiangyu arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, he heard a maid's anxious voice: "Master, you must go and see! Something has happened to Madam!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiangyu's expression changed. He disregarded everything else and quickly ran towards the West Garden.

In the West Garden, Qian Wanyi and Feng Lingfu were both sitting on the bed, while several doctors below trembled and said, "Madam, this..."

Feng Xiangyu suddenly pushed the door open.

"master."

The doctor greeted Feng Xiangyu as if he were a savior.

"How is Madam's condition?" Feng Xiangyu asked in a deep voice.

"We are truly ignorant and incompetent in treating the lady's illness. We cannot find the cause of her illness, nor do we know why she suddenly fell ill. Therefore, we have no idea how to treat her. This old servant has done everything he can to try..."

The doctor shook his head and said helplessly.

They were just ordinary doctors, and they were powerless to help with this kind of illness.

Besides, it's obviously poisoned...

The doctor didn't say this aloud, but instead cautiously chose to protect himself.

On the bed, Qian Wanyi heard Feng Xiangyu's voice and burst into tears: "Master, my face is ruined. It keeps rotting, and no doctor can do anything about it. Am I going to die?"

"I can't believe it," Qian Wanyi said in a high-pitched, terrified voice.

On the other side, Feng Lingfu, who had been crying, suddenly screamed, "It's Feng Jiutian! It must be Feng Jiutian who did this to get revenge on me! Father, go and capture Feng Jiutian and avenge your daughter!"

Are you talking about me?

Feng Jiutian suddenly walked in and said casually.

Upon hearing Feng Jiutian's voice, Feng Lingfu went berserk, screaming, "You bitch! You must have poisoned me! Father, quickly capture her and avenge me! You bitch, why don't you disfigure yourself!"

Feng Jiutian listened calmly, but a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

Feng Xiangyu frowned deeply.

Feng Xiangyu was somewhat displeased by the constant insults, but considering that Feng Lingfu was acting out of fear, he didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, an eunuch walked in, his face full of apology: "I'm sorry, Lord Feng, but the imperial decree is the most important, so I just came in."

Feng Xiangyu hurriedly said, "These are all minor matters, Father-in-law, please read them aloud."

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Miss Feng Jiutian of the Prime Minister's residence is hereby appointed as the Seventh Prince's principal wife. The wedding date shall be chosen. This is the imperial decree!"

These few simple words stunned everyone present.

Feng Lingfu and Qian Wanyi stopped making a fuss.

They hadn't expected that Feng Jiutian would actually seal it off.

"I accept your command and thank you. Long live the emperor!"

Feng Xiangyu knelt down to receive the imperial decree, saw his father-in-law off, and then returned to hand the decree to Feng Jiutian.

"From today onwards, you will be the Seventh Prince's Consort."

Feng Xiangyu said in a deep voice, "Since the Emperor doesn't mind that you've been married before, then marry him properly. At least you won't have to worry about anything anymore. The Emperor will definitely dote on you."

Feng Jiutian accepted the imperial edict with a grim expression, barely suppressing the urge to tear it to shreds, and let out a cold snort.

……

Within the imperial city, the news that Feng Jiutian was to marry the Seventh Prince spread throughout the entire city in no time.

"I never imagined that the good-for-nothing young lady from the Prime Minister's mansion would be marrying the Seventh Prince! It's truly unbelievable!"

"Yes, but they're a good-for-nothing and a cripple, they're actually a perfect match. At least they won't go out and cause trouble for others!"
