It was a dark night and the wind was high. Outside the high wall of the Princess Protector, a masked man in black jumped lightly, jumped over the wall neatly, and went straight into the west courtyard of the princess's mansion. However, as soon as his feet landed, he was secretly sneaked in.
Several figures came out and forced themselves into the corner.
A cold light suddenly appeared, and several men in black were approaching like ghosts. They were about to splash blood on the spot. The masked man suddenly spoke: "Please convey to Your Highness the Princess that Feng Ci, the direct grandson of the Feng family, is requesting an audience."
The cold light stopped two inches away from his eyebrows.
Several men in black looked at each other, and then one of them turned around quickly and left. The others still looked at him with wary eyes, a cold light and a chilling aura.
The masked Feng Ci stood quietly in the corner, shocked by the tight defense in the princess, secretly guessing that it must be the master arranged by Sicang, otherwise an unpopular princess would not be protected by so many masters.
side.
The Shadow Guard turned around and conveyed the matter to Leng Shuang, who quickly reported it to Yun Zishu.
"Feng Ci?" Yun Zishu was leaning on the bedside reading a book. When she heard the report, she raised her eyebrows and said, "The direct grandson of the Feng family is visiting late at night. He is quite courageous... Let him come over."
"yes."
Yun Zishu stood up and put on her coat, walked to the window and sat down: "Make tea."
"yes."
Leng Shuang passed on the order, and not long after, Feng Ci arrived at Qifeng Hall.
Feng Shen is handsome, gentle as jade, naturally noble, dignified and elegant.
Even wearing black clothes could not hide the elegance of Feng Ci.
This was Yun Zishu's impression of him after meeting him, and she actually knew that Fengci, the direct grandson of the Feng family, was worthy of such praise.
"See Your Highness the Princess. Your Highness is a thousand years old." The young man knelt down on one knee and respectfully performed the salute. "I have taken the liberty of disturbing the Princess. Please forgive me for disturbing the Princess."
"No courtesy." Yun Zishu leaned on the brocade couch, her voice not as indifferent as during the day, but a bit lazy, "Master Feng arrived late at night, why did you come?"
Feng Ci stood up and lowered his eyebrows: "On my grandfather's order, I came here to get to know Her Highness the Princess."
Yun Zishu raised her lips, as if she was interested: "How to understand?"
Feng Ci got straight to the point: "Regarding the matter with the Xiao family Yun Heng, I wonder what attitude Her Highness the Princess holds now?"
"What?" Yun Zishu wondered, "Uncle Feng Guo is actually so concerned about the affairs of this palace and the Xiao family?"
"If there is any offense, please forgive me, Your Highness Princess." Feng Ci bowed and spoke in a courteous and gentle tone, "Grandpa has reasons to be concerned."
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment and said calmly: "There is no longer any friendship between me and Xiao Yunheng. No matter what decision I make now, it is all to achieve the final result - he dies and I live."
Feng Ci was slightly startled.
He thought that Yun Zishu just wanted to break up with the Xiao family and have nothing to do with each other, but he didn't expect that she actually wanted to kill the Xiao family directly.
"Why?" Feng Ci was puzzled.
Yun Zishu picked up the tea cup and took a sip slowly: "Because the hatred between this princess and the Xiao family is irreconcilable."
Feng Ci was a little too surprised. After being silent for a while, she said, "After Your Highness the Princess breaks up with the Xiao family, is there anyone you like as a husband?"
"No."
"That……"
Yun Zishu said: "I have no intention of getting married again."
Feng Ci bowed again: "Many of my ministers are abrupt."
"It doesn't matter."
Feng Ci pondered for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness seems to be dissatisfied with the princess."
"It is true that he is dissatisfied." Yun Zishu took a sip of tea and her tone gradually became casual, "But so what? He is dissatisfied with him, and I, the princess, live her life without looking at his face."
Feng Ci said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne as emperor in the future."
"Hasn't he not ascended the throne yet?" Yun Zishu chuckled, with a mocking tone, "Whether he will be able to ascend the throne smoothly in the future is still unknown. If he does not sit in that position for a day, it means that something unexpected will happen at any time.
It could happen."
Feng Ci was slightly surprised.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, you can leave." Yun Zishu said, "There is no need to come in like this in the future. There are many masters in this princess's mansion. If I accidentally hurt you, I will only
I'm afraid that Uncle Feng and Chief Feng will both be heartbroken."
Feng Ci didn't pay attention to her words, but asked a question: "Who among the princes in the court do you think is the most qualified to be the emperor?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyes: "Are you going to discuss with me how to abolish the reserve and establish a new one?"
"I don't dare."
Yun Zishu's tone was indifferent, sounding calm: "Power is safest only if it is in your own hands. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else."
Feng Ci was shocked.
"It's getting late, go back." Yun Zishu ordered, "Leng Shuang, see the guests off."
"yes."
Feng Ci bowed and excused himself, his etiquette was perfect and there was no disrespect at all.
Along the way, he was thinking about Yun Zishu's words, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Her Royal Highness the Princess was neither frightened nor agitated, and her tone was calm and unwavering, and it was not even possible to hear too many emotions.
But the meaning in her words was clear yet so profound and powerful. It should not be the magnanimity of a woman... What did she want to do?
Power is safest only if it is held in one's own hands. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else?
Feng Ci put on the hijab and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Yun Zishu watched him leave through the window. Just as she was about to get up and go to bed, another uninvited guest came to the house.
Leng Shuang stood in the outer hall and reported: "Your Highness, the Commander-in-Chief is here."
Yun Zishu paused slightly, stopped taking off her clothes, put her coat back on her sleeves, turned around and sat back on the brocade couch: "Let him come in."
"yes."
Sicang came through the night, wearing a solemn and solemn black robe, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Only when he saw the woman who was thinking about him day and night, the layer of frost gradually faded away and was replaced by indifference.
But with a somewhat warm look in his eyes.
Walking into the hall, his eyes fell on Yun Zishu, and he quickly bowed and said hello.
"No need to be polite." Yun Zishu asked calmly, "Is there something wrong when you come here so late?"
Si Cang pursed his lips, could he say that he just wanted to see her?
He had just heard the news that Feng Ci had entered the house in the middle of the night, and he couldn't hold it back for a moment. After all, the direct grandson of the Feng family was a brilliant and noble son, and he was praised by many people for his noble character and noble character.
When an ordinary woman meets him, it is difficult not to be attracted to him.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his silence, Yun Zishu asked in confusion, "What's so hard to talk about?"
Sicang shook his head and asked calmly: "Did Fengci come just now?"
Yun Zishu said: "You are quite well informed."
Sicang asked: "What did he say?"
Yun Zishu briefly stated the content of the conversation between the two, with a somewhat lazy tone in her voice: "It should be the Feng family who came to test my attitude."
Si Cang heard her tone as usual and didn't feel too strange. His tense heart relaxed slightly and asked, "What do you think of the Feng family's behavior, Your Highness?"
"Very good." Yun Zishu said nonchalantly, "She has military power and a high-ranking chief assistant. As long as the king doesn't get caught, they can live well and no one can do anything to them."
It is better than those foolish and loyal people who think that willingly handing over military power can gain the king's trust. In fact, once the military power is handed over, it instantly becomes a situation at the mercy of others.
If the king wanted to kill them, they would not even have the strength to resist.
