The scene before Feng Ruchu changed from Jiuchong Palace to a magnificent palace in the blink of an eye. Feng Ruchu was once again amazed by how fast she could move from one place to another.
The black cat had transfigured into a black ball of fur around Feng Ruchu’s waist to accompany her as she met the emperor.
A eunuch went to inform the emperor of their arrival before leading Feng Ruchu to His Majesty.
The emperor had changed into an exquisite and luxurious dragon robe and was sitting on his throne when Feng Ruchu saw him.
In the hall were also Feng Zheng and Nangong Yan, as well as other officials who were standing respectfully at both sides of the hall, turning the atmosphere solemn.
What was curious was that Feng Fei’er and Feng Mo’er were also there, and there was a man in coarse linen clothes kneeling and shivering in the middle of the hall, as if he had committed a crime and was waiting to be punished.
Before Feng Ruchu could figure out what was going on, a slender and delicate girl quickly ran towards her.
“Ruchu, my dear sister, where have you been? Don’t you know that I almost turned the Nanqiu Kingdom upside down looking for you? Do you know how worried I was when you followed Wang San and left home without a word?”
Feng Fei’er was wearing an ivory top with chrysanthemum embroidery and a pink skirt with flowers on it. She looked fragile and delicate as she wept.
Feng Ruchu frowned when Feng Fei’er reached out to hug her, and subtly took a step back to avoid it, leaving Feng Fei’er’s hand hanging mid-air.
Feng Ruchu used to be someone that even the humblest slave could bully in the chancellor’s manor. Feng Fei’er would tease her too when she was bored, and Feng Ruchu had always been fine when she did. However, had that same Feng Ruchu actually avoided her hug just now?
“Are you blaming me for not finding you earlier?” Feng Fei’er asked gently, looking at Feng Ruchu innocently.
“How could she blame you when she was the one who was shameless enough to elope with Wang San, Sister?” Feng Mo’er had been indignant at the fact that a useless girl like Feng Ruchu actually had the title of ‘Crown Princess’ for over ten years. Also, the royals had not renounced her title because of the engagement that she had with the crown prince when she was a baby.
Feng Ruchu had always been a thorn in Feng Mo’er’s side, and that was why Feng Mo’er had decided to work with the crown prince to bribe Wang San and get rid of Feng Ruchu.
But to everyone’s surprise, that whore had survived!
Not only that, but she had also humiliated her in front of everyone at the coliseum. How Feng Mo’er wished she could tear Feng Ruchu into pieces when she thought about it!
“Feng Ruchu, you are the second daughter of the Feng Family and the crown princess selected by the empress dowager, and yet you were shameless enough to elope with another man? What is duty, shame, and justice to you? What is the dignity of the royals to you?”
“You ran away with another man without thinking about the crown prince’s reputation. Did it ever occur to you that the Feng Family might get into trouble because of you? That our father might be blamed for deceiving the emperor because of you?”
Every single word of Feng Mo’er’s was sharp and harsh.
Feng Ruchu might have gotten away from the coliseum, but deceiving the emperor? She didn’t think so.
