Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Master Linghu had to look all over the imperial capital to find the right candidate, which was Feng Wu, and I took advantage of this goddaughter thing to give her that jade. But Grandma, what you then did —”
He accused the empress dowager with his eyes, which made the old lady feel very guilty.
Emperor Wu was a lot harder to convince. He rubbed his chin. “Why didn’t Master Linghu bring it up when I visited him last time?”
The empress dowager threw a dirty look at Emperor Wu. “You wouldn’t only be learning about this now if you cared about Baby Jun!”
Emperor Wu was speechless. How come he was the one getting blamed again?
The empress dowager caressed Jun Linyuan’s cheek affectionately. “Sweetheart, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. I’ll send the jade back to Feng Wu.”
Jun Linyuan nodded. “Yes, and make sure she wears it.”

Jun Linyuan said, “Well, it’ll be a little troublesome for the girl that way.”
His grandmother patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about it! I’ll give her something amazing in return so that she won’t wear it begrudgingly. She’ll cleanse the jade for you and make sure your life is in no way threatened.”
Jun Linyuan said, “If it takes too long to get to her...”
“No, it won’t!” The idea of Jun Linyuan’s life being shortened made the empress dowager on edge. She gave the order right away. “Hurry, summon Feng Wu here! Now!”
Feng stole a glance at his young master. That was incredible. The crown prince had played his grandmother like a fiddle. However, when would he admit his true feelings, instead of taking all these detours?
1Feng looked up at the sky. Well, His Royal Highness was adorable this way. Who was he to remind the crown prince how he really felt?
1The imperial edict baffled Feng Wu.
Go to court?
Night had almost fallen. What was this about?
“Is Her Majesty the empress dowager not feeling well?”
Granny Lan had come to deliver the edict herself.
Granny Lan was the empress dowager’s most senior maid, and her performing this task proved how much importance the empress dowager attached to it.
Granny Lan smiled politely. “Miss Wu, Her Majesty the empress dowager and His Majesty are waiting. We should be on our way.”
Could Feng Wu say no to that?
Without absolute martial prowess, Feng Wu had to succumb to authority, no matter how reluctant she was.
Everyone in the family was worried, and the beautiful lady was on the verge of breaking into tears.
Granny Lan genuinely pitied the lady. She was so beautiful.

In the imperial palace.
Feng Wu paid her respects to Emperor Wu, the empress dowager, and...
Blue veins popped on Feng Wu’s forehead when she noticed Jun Linyuan.
He was here, too?
Feng Wu suddenly had a very bad feeling about this.
Was he trying to set her up again?
Immediately, Feng Wu was on guard as alarms went off in her head.
From the empress dowager’s point of view, Feng Wu seemed to be staring at her Baby Jun the whole time, until she forgot to blink. That was...
“Feng Wu!” The empress dowager’s voice was devoid of warmth.
Feng Wu looked away from Jun Linyuan and faced the empress dowager obediently.
The empress dowager didn’t say a word, and only darted a look at Granny Lan.
Granny Lan then brought out a glossy red tray, on which lay the jade pendant.
