Legitimate Daughter of the Minister

C554 Agreement

"This Fourth Prince has a gloomy heart and a shrewd mind. At that time, he even came to propose marriage, swearing that he would marry you. Later on, he made things difficult for you. Now that he has taken the Xiao family's, you should stay away from him."

"Daughter knows." Lian Ruyue nodded and said.

When Feng Tang returned to Changchun Palace, she was so angry that Lian Zhaoyi said, "It's the day of the empress's funeral. Be careful of what you do, and do not let the public know that you are disrespectful to the empress."

"Hmph." Feng Gouyao snorted coldly, "You said that I was disrespectful to her, and that she was disrespectful to Imperial Father. She died too early, and if Imperial Father knew what she had done, he would have given her to death as well."

"Tang Yao'er, what do you mean by this? Do you know what it means?" Lian Zhaoyi asked.

Thus, Feng Ziyao recounted the matter of Princess Eleven not being the Emperor's own son.

When Lian Zhaoyi heard this, he was extremely shocked. "Is what you said true?"

"Of course, I heard it with my own ears. She even sent Feng Lingyue to join her concubine." Feng Tang Yao said.

"..." If only she had known about this earlier, she wouldn't have sat in the back for so long. " Lian Zhaoyi said in a regretful tone.

"No." Feng Ziyao stood up and said, "I want to tell royal father that Feng Lingyue is a fake princess."

"Wait." However, Lian Zhaoyi stopped her.

"Mufei, I can't stand Feng Lingyue being treated like a princess even though she's not one. She's obviously lying to my royal father, I have to expose her!"

Seeing Feng Ziyao trembling with anger, Lian Zhaoyi looked at her and said, "You exposed her because you wanted Xiao He to come into contact with her, right?"

Feng Tang blushed and said, "I can't hide anything from mufei."

"Tang Yao'er, you're the Thirteenth Princess. If you're not going to choose anyone, why do you have to choose Xiao He? Mufei is afraid that people will criticize you in the future, and says that you're going to steal my would-be husband." Lian Zhaoyi said.

"But, but I only have my eyes on Xiao He. Mufei, support me. If Xiao He and Feng Lingyue break the engagement, I naturally have a way to stop others from talking." Feng Tang said, holding Lian Zhaoyi's hand.

"Eleven is not about the real princess, but to let your father know, but, you should not say anything, firstly, the empress has just died, and you already ran off to complain, and will inevitably give people the feeling that you were adding insult to injury, and secondly, if something goes wrong during the process of reporting, it will be the responsibility of our Yi Xiu Palace." Lian Zhaoyi pondered for a moment before replying.

"What better way does mufei have?" Feng Wu Yao asked.

"At this moment, the Duke of Xiao should be on his way to the palace. You should be guarding in the shadows, and when you see him, you should ask him to step in and tell the Duke of Xiao about this, with mufei's understanding of the Duke of Xiao, he should be unhappy about the marriage between Xiao He and the Eleventh Prince, but it's not like he didn't have the opportunity to propose a rescission of the engagement. If he finds out about this matter at this time, he'll definitely go and expose that the Eleventh Prince is a fake princess.

When Feng Tang Yao heard this, she lamented that her mother was still as powerful as the concubine and hurriedly left the palace. Just as Lian Zhaoyi had said, she ran into Xiao Zhenhai who was rushing into the palace.

Xiao Zhenhai bowed and said, "I wonder why you are looking for this humble one?"

"Duke of Xiao, this princess wants to tell you a secret. I don't know if you have time to listen." Feng Yang said.

"Princess, please instruct me." Xiao Zhenhai respectfully said.

Feng Tang Yao looked around and beckoned Xiao Zhenhai to come closer. Then, she said, "Duke Xiao, this princess accidentally overheard the empress personally tell Aunt Eleven that Sister Eleven was not her biological son a few days ago."

"What .." Xiao Zhenhai was stunned, his heart was shaken. He raised his eyes to look at Feng Yunyao, but he did not seem to be lying.

"That day when I entered Changchun Palace, I accidentally overheard the empress say so. This matter is absolutely true, and this princess dares to vouch for it with my head." Feng Tang Yao thought that Xiao Zhenhai did not believe her, so she swore.

"No, it's not that I don't believe it." If it was true, then that party was truly great. He was currently struggling to not get the chance to annul the engagement between Xiao He and the unlucky princess. This was truly a good opportunity, but —

Xiao Zhenhai bowed and asked, "Why did the princess block this place and inform this humble servant about it? Princess, is there anything I can do for you? "

As an official, he naturally knew that Princess Thirteen didn't go and complain to the Emperor, but rather chose to tell her about it. There had to be a reason behind her actions.

Feng Tang's face turned slightly red as he said, "I am only asking for Xiao He."

Xiao Zhenhai's face broke into a smile. The heavens were truly on his side. He already knew that Xiao He was going to use this boy's temperament to tempt Princess Thirteen. He might as well have him replace Xiao Shan and die instead.

Now, Princess Thirteen had come knocking on his door on her own accord, he thought as his expression turned grave.

Feng Tang Yao was a person who had never experienced the world. Seeing his expression, she panicked a little and asked, "What, the Duke of Xiao doesn't want to reveal the background of the Eleventh Sister?"

"No, the empress has mixed up the royal bloodline. Although a person has already died, the purity of the royal bloodline cannot be tainted. Princess Eleven's identity as a fake princess must be explained to the emperor, it's just that this humble subject has something to ask of you, princess, in passing." Xiao Zhenhai said.

"What?" Duke Xiao, please speak. " Feng Yu heaved a sigh of relief and asked.

"This humble subject wishes to ask Princess to help save my son, Xiao Shan." As Xiao Zhenhai spoke, he then proceeded to ask for Feng Yu's help, explaining once more, "After Xiao He and the Eleventh Princess have broken off their engagement, this humble subject will go to the Emperor and request for a marriage. After this period has passed, this humble subject will go to the Emperor and give the princess to Xiao He, allowing Xiao He to be the Thirteenth Prince."

Xiao He was going to be the Thirteenth Prince Consort? As Feng Tang Yao thought about the situation, her heartbeat quickened. She nodded and said, "Alright, I promise you."

Xiao Zhenhai was overjoyed. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Then, I'll take my leave. If someone sees me, it would not be good to gossip." Feng Wu nodded to Xiao Zhenhai and hurried off.

"How did that scorpion get involved with Princess Thirteen?" On the other side, just as they passed by, Lian Yan Qing and Lian Ru Yue saw Feng Wu Yao's back leaving in a hurry.

Lian Ruyue's sharp eyes fell on Feng Ziyao's overly hurried footsteps, a thought flashed through her mind, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Consecutive." Xiao Zhenhai walked over and cupped his hands as he spoke. His sharp gaze was fixated on Lian Ruyue.

Lian Ru Yue calmly nodded her head. "Ru Yue greets the prince."

"Exempt from formalities. I'm sure the two of you entered the palace because of the empress's funeral, so you should go together." Xiao Zhenhai's face did not show any abnormality as he said this.
