CHAPTER 1146: 1224: GETTING READY TO GO HOME

Reflecting on those past events, even Fengsu couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic. At this moment, a young man slowly approached Fengsu, and this person was Qing Yue.

"Second Prince." When outside, they referred to Fengsu as ’Sir,’ but privately, they always called Fengsu ’Prince.’

Fengsu turned to face Qing Yue, "I’ve already said, I was neither born in the palace nor raised there. I have never set foot in that vast Imperial Palace, so the title of ’Prince’ is just a name without substance."

Qing Yue spoke slowly, "But the royal blood flows within you; as long as this blood remains in your veins, whether you are willing or not, you will be the Second Prince of Dayuan for life."

Fengsu chuckled mockingly, "My father is from Dajin, and I grew up in Dajin; many things are better left unmentioned. But you, persistently bothering me, it seems you’re truly eager to return to the Capital."

Qing Yue shivered slightly, "Sir, please don’t mock Qing Yue." He hesitated, being in a different position than his elder brother, who entered the palace as a male consort. Should he truly return to the Capital, he feared he might never come back.

Fengsu slowly adjusted his robe sleeve, then said, "Speak, why have you come to find me in the middle of the night like this?"

Qing Yue now straightened his posture, initially appearing as a delicate and beautiful man, speaking and acting slowly, but now he slowly stood upright, with a cold expression he said, "I want to eliminate Yi Ran! Both for Her Highness Shiyi and for myself."

Fengsu slightly narrowed his eyes, "You know, if Shi Yi finds out, she will definitely be heartbroken."

Qing Yue raised a smile at the corner of his lips, "Back then, even if it was unintentional, he didn’t know beforehand that the Seventh Princess wanted to deal with Her Highness Shiyi, but he still harmed Her Highness Shiyi to such an extent, which is indeed a fact. Qing Yue saw it and truly felt indignant."

Fengsu contemplated for a moment, "This matter can be discussed later; for now, it’s not appropriate to act rashly. However, if you’re idle, you might as well go to Jiangnan for a trip."

Qing Yue’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Fengsu smiled, "House soldiers for a thousand days, use them in a moment. It’s time to settle the account for those things she did to Shi Yi back then."

At this moment, Fengsu didn’t know that because Jiangnan and the Northwest were too far apart, the situation in Jiangnan had long since changed, and the Seventh Princess had already fallen from power. Now she had been erased from memory and dumped in the mountains by Yi Ran, and Qing Yue’s trip was destined to be for nothing.

After all, the person they wanted to deal with had already been dealt with first.

***

Dong Huiying decided to formally visit Fengsu, and Yue Ning also decided to visit Old Yang, and once things here were settled, they would return.

If luck was with them, they might catch the New Year celebrations.

Dong Huiying’s visit was quite formal; first, she sent an invitation setting the time, and on the appointed day, she went to Fengsu’s temporary residence.

Shu Yu’s health had greatly improved, and he and Shujun accompanied their wife on either side, but Haoming had rarely appeared these days, given that Haoming’s identity was too sensitive.

When the three arrived, Fengsu was warming tea and brewing wine, and on the low table beside him, a Paulownia Wood Ancient Zither was laid across.

After the meeting, Dong Huiying and Fengsu talked for a long time, but no one outside of those present knew the content of their conversation.

Another day passed.

Yue Ning went to find Old Yang, claiming the construction was paused, given that they couldn’t build in the heavy snow and cold days, he decided to first accompany his wife home for the New Year, and then return in the spring to complete the subsequent construction project.

Old Yang happily agreed, so on this day, carriages and horses were ready, one wife and four husbands were also prepared to return...
