Chapter 1134 - 1034: "I Want to See Him!

"Call for what Imperial Physician? Get out!"

After venting his anger, the Fifth Master stormed into the study and didn’t come out again.

The servant boy touched his head.

"What’s happened?"

"Why is the Master so furious today?!"

Unable to figure it out, the servant boy shook his head and left.

Lately, nothing had changed in the mansion except for a bit of low-key behavior.

The Princess Consort’s status is sensitive, so for us servants, the more low-key, the better.

Moreover, the steward’s place in the mansion has now been taken by Consort Ming.

The Princess Consort is still the Princess Consort.

But who knows which day she might no longer be the Princess Consort.

The servants in the mansion aren’t foolish. The winds of change came swiftly and became strange.

Hai Feng hadn’t left her courtyard for several days.

The servants in the main courtyard weren’t as attentive as before.

The weather was hot.

Not even an ice basin could be seen in her vicinity.

Especially since Consort Ming gained power, boldly withholding her belongings.

Yingge looked furious.

"Those damn servants are so disrespectful, daring to ignore you!"

Hai Feng remained unhurried,

reclining leisurely on the beauty chaise, fanning herself, a cold snort emanating from her nose.

"Rising up and stepping down is too common; don’t mind it!"

Yingge was quite anxious.

"Master, in our situation, how can you not be worried?"

Hai Feng smiled faintly, though her eyes were void of warmth.

"What good is it for me to be anxious?"

"Wars are raging at the front lines; it’s my father who sent troops to attack the Great Chu!"

"What good will my anxiety do? Will it make my life easier for them?!"

Hai Feng let out a cold laugh. Isn’t even the Fifth Master thinking to divorce her now?

If even the Master does this, what more a bunch of servants.

When plotting these schemes, she gambled everything she had.

Even if she paid with everything, she would still not regret it.

But when the Fifth Master gave the rights of the rear courtyard to Consort Ming, her heart ached to the point it was hard to breathe.

Several years of sharing the same bed, risking her life to bear him a son.

Now, before anything even happened, he actually wants to cast her aside, wiping himself clean.

She really overestimated the affection between them.

It turns out the courtesy and respect, the mutual harmony in the past, were all fake! Not a bit of it was real.

Hai Feng laughed bitterly.

Yingge was quite indignant.

"We’ve done nothing within the deep courtyard; you’re still the legitimate Princess Consort, so why can’t we have it better?"

"You..."

"Enough!"

Hai Feng frowned and snapped.

"Say less, this isn’t Western Xia, we can’t just act recklessly!"

Yingge’s words were interrupted, feeling wronged but not daring to say more, she said dejectedly.

"Then, Princess Consort, rest well!"

"The servant will withdraw first!" She said, performed the courtesy, and retreated.

Hai Feng turned her head to look out the window, slowly closed her eyes, lost in thought!

That night.

The Fifth Master sent word, saying the Emperor has issued a decree, asking her to go to the Northwest with him to provide relief to the disaster victims.

Hai Feng was quite surprised, while eating leftovers.

"Go to the Northwest for disaster relief?"

"With the Fifth Master?"

The little eunuch conveying the message nodded definitely.

"That’s the Emperor’s command; the Fifth Master asks you to prepare well, we set out the day after tomorrow!"

"The day after tomorrow?"

Hai Feng was shocked again.

But before she could ask more, the little eunuch had already left.

Staring blankly out the window for a while.

Suddenly, Hai Feng’s expression changed drastically, her heart stirred up a storm.

"It can’t be!"

"They wouldn’t use me to threaten the father emperor, would they?"

"Mighty Great Chu wouldn’t do such despicable things, would they?"

Mighty Celestial Empire.

Using a woman, their own daughter-in-law, to coerce the other side.

Such a thing, if spread, would be a laughingstock; aren’t they afraid?

Hai Feng’s mind was completely in disarray.

She never planned for it to come to this stage.

She understands the Chu Dynasty royal family too well.

They love appearances, they are adept at swallowing broken teeth and blood.

No matter how filthy or rotten inside, they’d still put on a facade of peace and prosperity and grandeur outside.

This time, would they really be willing to abandon their reputation?

Simply unimaginable!!!

The more Hai Feng thought about it, her body grew colder.

"No! I won’t go!"

Yingge rushed in.

"What’s happening? Master, what’s happening to you?"

Hai Feng grabbed her tightly like clutching a lifeline.

"Yingge, Yingge, what to do? I won’t go, I can’t go!"

"They’re going to send me to the front lines!"

"What do I do?"

Yingge was also stunned, her face full of panic.

"No way, it can’t be; Master, you must have misunderstood!"

"No matter how shameless they are, they wouldn’t disregard their reputation!"

"Master, you must have misunderstood!"

Hai Feng shook her head vigorously.

"How is it impossible, we’re setting out the day after tomorrow, Yingge!"

"What should I do? Liangliang is still so young, he can’t be without a mother!"

Yingge was bewildered.

No one ever thought about this possibility!

In the Chu Dynasty, is the status of women not quite low?

Isn’t the royal family obsessed with saving face?

So how could all this happen?

Just as Yingge was lost in thought, Hai Feng’s eyes suddenly became cold.

She slowly stood up as if pondering something.

Moments later, she turned back, her face stern, and instructed.

"I want to see him!"

"Help me change clothes; I want to see him!"

Yingge dared not say anything.

Swiftly helped her change into the Main Wife’s attire, then personally escorted her out.

She was originally going to accompany her, but the Princess Consort did not permit it. Yingge was very worried.

...

No one in the mansion stopped her.

Hai Feng went smoothly into the Fifth Prince’s study.

At the moment, the Fifth Prince was unhappy due to the matters of the morning court.

Seeing Hai Feng enter.

His expression turned frighteningly cold, and his tone was very unfriendly.

"Why have you come?"

"Why can’t I come, Prince?"

The Fifth Prince snorted coldly and changed the topic.

"You’ve received the message, right? Have you prepared everything?"

Hai Feng trembled all over, her eyes reddening.

"I can’t go!"

"Liangliang... is still young; he can’t be without a mother, Prince..."

The Fifth Prince suddenly erupted in anger, shouting.

"Why can’t you go? Liangliang is no longer young! He’s already four, can move out of the courtyard and study with his cousins!"

"You have no reason not to go!"

Hai Feng’s lips quivered.

She looked at the Fifth Master in disbelief.

"I... I’m not afraid to die, but I’m afraid Liangliang will be bullied, Prince!"

"I... can die!"

"But I can’t leave Liangliang!"

Hai Feng’s eyes were determined.

The Fifth Master’s eyes suddenly lit up, of course!

Can’t divorce her, but wouldn’t her death solve everything?

If she dies, everything would be resolved, he wouldn’t be the son-in-law of an enemy state, nor would he have to endure the criticism from Imperial Court Officials daily.

Nor do he have to worry day and night, fearing that his Imperial Brother’s suspicion would send him to some remote corner of a fief to live a poor, miserable life.

As long as she dies, everything would be resolved, how wonderful!

The Fifth Master was somewhat tempted, hesitated, and said.

"What do you want?"

Hai Tang smiled coldly.

"I want you to swear to make Liangliang the Princely Heir, and always be good to him!"

"No matter whom you marry in the future, or how many children you have, Liangliang must be the Princely Heir!"

The Fifth Master clenched his fist, and almost without thinking, agreed.

"Alright!"
