Reborn Spoiled Ming Wangfei-Chapter 247 - 22 Debate at Court

22 Debate at Court

When Feng Yi Xuan woke up, his first reaction was to tighten his arms around the girl in them. Opening his eyes to see Nian Nian was still curled up safe and sound in his arms, Feng Yi Xuan believed there was nothing better than this.

Feng Yi Xuan pecked Lan You Nian’s forehead and gingerly tucked the blankets in as he quietly crept out of the room. The moment Feng Yi Xuan left the room, Lan You Nian has already awakened. When she didn’t see Feng Yi Xuan by her side, Lan You Nian instantly understood what Feng Yi Xuan went to do. Lan You Nian didn’t follow. Though she knew Feng Yi Xuan won’t hide anything from her, Lan You Nian believed it was necessary for some space between them.

Feng Yi Xuan left the room and immediatley came to Gui Yi’s room. As soon as Gui Yi heard the knock on his door, he opened the door and was startled when he saw Feng Yi Xuan. According to Gui Yi’s guess, Prince Ming should be muttering sweet nothings to little junior sister. They wouldn’t part from one another.

“Has something happened to little junior sister?” Gui Yi suspected if little junior sister’s poison has been completely detoxified or perhaps something has happened. Gui Yi was worried as he prepared to run out but was stopped by Feng Yi Xuan.

“Nian Nian is fine. She’s still resting. I came for myself!” Feng Yi Xuan said walking into the room prepared for Gui Yi. Though the room was arranged impromptu by the steward, but Gui Yi was pleased with the various kinds of herbs once he lived in the room.

Gui Yi heard little junior was fine and felt his heart ease. After so many years, due to little junior sister’s poison, it has become his natural reaction. Because of the feelings in his heart, he was even more worried. This was why he studied medicine. At the beginning, he wanted to be able to save little junior sister one day. In the end, he slowly fell in love with medicine and became obsessed with medicine. Gui Yi’s emotions were very restrained. He believed as long as little junior sister was living well, he wouldn’t be jealous even if the happiness wasn’t given by him.

“Does Prince Ming feel unwell?” Gui Yi asked in concern. He was aware of how reckless Feng Yi Xuan has been this month. It gave rise to respect in his heart. Such a man was indeed worthy of being Feng empire’s war god prince. Gui Wu made the right choice to enter Ming army.

Feng Yi Xuan sat down. He still had to go back to accompany Nian Nian. What if Nian Nian woke up and didn’t see him?

“Is it possible that the scar on my face can be removed quickly?” Feng Yi Xuan asked.

Gui Yi didn’t expect Feng Yi Xuan to ask this or that Feng Yi Xuan would mind the scar on his face. After all, while hurrying back, he hasn’t even bothered with applying medicine to it nor had he showed any concern for the scar on his face.

Gui Yi couldn’t help ask, “Does Prince Ming mind the scar on your face?” Then, he started to pick up various herbs around the room to prescribe a medicinal ointment. He still spared a look to Feng Yi Xuan, hoping he would answer him.

“Nian Nian will be upset when she sees!” Feng Yi Xuan explained. He didn’t mind the scar on his face nor did Nian Nian mind but last night he saw Nian Nian weep for her which made Feng Yi Xuan feel awful inside. He knew this scar remained, it will only pain Nian Nian. He hoped Nian Nian can be happy and not feel heartache and guilt whenever she faced him. Such a Nian Nian only made his heart hurt.

Thus, Gui Yi understood Feng Yi Xuan’s behavior. He believed it was unlikely to find a man who cared more about little junior sister than Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan’s love for little junior sister overcame everything. In Feng Yi Xuan’s world, little junior sister was the most important. Gui Yi believed it was a great fortune that little junior sister had such a man by her side.

Gui Yi handed the ointment he put together to Feng Yi Xuan, “Apply this medicine one time every morning and night. It won’t be long before the scar completely disappears!” Speaking of which, not long has passed; otherwise the scar won’t be so easy to get rid of.

Feng Yi Xuan thanked him and hastily left the room. A grin appeared on Gui Yi’s face. Though he said he would let little junior sister go, he hasn’t been able to do so. But after this, he could completely let little junior sister go or put her in the deepest part of his heart. These feelings will become the love between disciple brother and sister, the love between family.

When Feng Yi Xuan returned to the room and was about to sleep, Lan You Nian opened her eyes. Feng Yi Xuan guiltily asked, “I woke you up?” Though he wanted to get the medicine with Nian Nian, he considered Nian Nian’s poison was just detoxified and wasn’t willing to wake her up. Hence, he went alone. He didn’t intend to hide anything from Nian Nian.

“No, I’ve already slept so long. I want to take a stroll!” Lan You Nian stretched out her waist. Before she could grab her clothes, she saw Feng Yi Xuan bring her clothes to the bed and help her put it on. Lan You Nian allowed Feng Yi Xuan to take care of her and asked, “What has been found? How could an insignificant Yue empire’s princess obtain that poison and dares to directly poison me at the banquet? It looks like someone is behind it all!”

Though the person was already killed by Feng Yi Xuan, she Lan You Nian won’t let go of the one behind the scenes. Since they dare to poison her in public, this person had guts. Let’s see if they are able to endure her and Feng Yi Xuan’s rage.

Feng Yi Xuan remembered what those people did and the pain Nian Nian suffered. His eyes started to bleed red. Lan You Nian hastily hugged Feng Yi Xuan in comfort, “Xuan, I’m fine!”

After a while, the violence in Feng Yi Xuan’s heart calmed. Feng Yi Xuan said, “It’s certain that someone else was involved with this matter. An Yi already went to investigate it. We know those involved include Feng Shao Chu. Feng Shao Chu has already been captured by imperial brother. How does Nian Nian want to deal with him?”

Lan You Nian wasn’t at all interested to see Feng Shao Chu’s end. She knew Feng Shao Chu wasn’t the person to think of this scheme. This Feng Shao Chu was really disobedient. He already had no power yet he still wanted to kill her. He really was a fool.

“Have brother Xia Qi them handle it. First interrogate Feng Shao Chu who he worked with!” Lan You Nian said. She trusted Feng Xia Qi will accomplish the task. Feng Yi Xuan didn’t have any objection but he already decided on the cruelest torture for Feng Shao Chu. Anyone who harmed Nian Nian, he will let them beg for death.

Because the two delayed for a long time, the two started to handle their own affairs. Lan You Nian returned to You Nian Pavilion. Lan Qu and the others were already waiting there. When they saw their young miss return safe and sound, the four’s eyes became red. Even Lan Ren couldn’t hold it back. They were nearly going mad from worry. They stayed in Prince Ming manor every day but they can only see young miss still unconscious. If they didn’t trust in Prince Ming, they would have snatched young miss back.

“Young miss!” The four of them suddenly fell to their knees as a show of their concern and joy. Young miss was the salvation in their lives, their master. They could finally be reassured now young miss was safe and sound. Otherwise, if something happens to young miss, they really didn’t know what to do.

Lan You Nian helped them to stand. Glancing at Zhang Lin and the others standing there respectfully, her heart felt comforted. Her world seemed to be filling with more and more loved ones and people she was reluctant to part with.

“Has Wu Qing Pavilion been well?” Lan You Nian accepted the cup of tea Lan Qu handed to her. Whether it was her senior brothers or Lan Ren them, they all revolved around her and stayed in Prince Ming manor. There was no one to handle Wu Qing Pavilion’s concerns.

Lan Ren accepted the tea. In front of young miss, they were all relaxed.

“There haven’t been any concerns in Wu Qing Pavilion. There’s now a lot more contact between Wu Qing Pavilion and Ghost Realm. Our Wu Qing Pavilion’s many businesses are developing even faster!” Lan Ren answered. He didn’t expect Ghost Realm’s forces to be so powerful. With Ghost Realm’s yielding to them and help in the shadows, their Wu Qing Pavilion has earned a lot of money.

Lan You Nian felt speechless when she saw their money-obsessive looks and felt this obsession must have been learned from third brother. Lan You Nian didn’t consider that she herself was a little money-infatuated. Her means in getting money weren’t any less than Gui San.

“But, recently the court has been stirring!” Lan Feng put down her usually severe face, her face warming and appeared feminine. She reported to Lan You Nian, “Because Prince Ming killed Yue empire’s princess, Yue empire’s emperor is putting pressure. While young miss was unconscious, Emperor Feng Xia Qi and Empress Yue Bai Lian didn’t bother with it. More and more ministers are starting to criticize Prince Ming’s reckless behavior!”

Lan You Nian was miffed. She didn’t expect Feng Yi Xuan’s actions that day would leave something for Yue empire to hold against them. No matter what crime a princess has committed, to have been killed without interrogation indeed gave Yue empire a good excuse, an excuse for Feng empire to compensate.

“Young miss, is Prince Ming in trouble now?” Lan Wu asked worriedly. This matter already involved two empires. Though they felt Prince Ming did the right thing, as a prince, he was indeed rash.

“Those ministers aren’t able to trouble Xuan. He can handle it!” Though Lan You Nian was worried inside, she believed in Feng YI Xuan’s abilities even more. Feng Yi Xuan possessed a lot of power, not only from his identity as a prince but most of it, he obtained it by merit. This wouldn’t do anything to him. She will face it with him.

Lan You Nian had Lan Ren them bring out Wu Qing Pavilion’s things to deal with it all…

At this moment at court, it was a mess. Feng Xia Qi wore a bright yellow robe as he sat on the throne. His slightly gentle face was sharp and angular. Under the sharp soaring brows was a pair of spirited foxy eyes. His nose was straight as cypress. His thin lips curled up with the ministers’ words but that smile didn’t reach his eyes.

“My beloved subjects have debated for a while. According to my beloved subjects, what should be done?” Feng Xia Qi smiled at the ministers below. Even though many of these ministers slowly rose up in rank, those ministers who were truly upright were few and far in between. This was a problem that existed in every empire.

With Feng Xia Qi’s words, some ministers stood out, “Your Majesty, Prince Ming’s actions were too rash, killing Yue empire’s princess so hastily. Yue empire’s delegates are already on their way. If the two empires are unable to come to an agreement, it might cause a war!”

“This is caused by Prince Ming. This old subject suggests letting Prince Ming apologize to Yue empire!” One old minister stood up. This was the thought of many of the ministers. They all believed the Emperor got rid of all the princes and princesses. Though Prince Ming and the Emperor were true brothers, there was no familial love in the imperial family. The ministers thought the Emperor wanted to get rid of Prince Ming so many ministers started to accuse Prince Ming.

“I heard Lan junzhu has recovered. If Yue empire needs an explanation, we can hand over Lan junzhu the cause of it all to Yue Empire!” A minister said fawningly. This made Lan Jian Jun, Jing Wu An and Marquis Jing stone-faced. Before they could vent their rage, the minister who spoke was tossed and crashed into the column with a climbing dragon, instantly speckling the place with blood.

“This prince wants to see who dares to touch this prince’s princess consort!” Everywhere Feng Yi Xuan’s eyes passed, there was a wave of submission.

No one expected Prince Ming to suddenly appear at court nor did they expect Prince Ming to dare kill a minister at court. Many ministers wanted the Emperor to punish him but when they looked up, they didn’t see any dissatisfaction from His Majesty. It even had a hint of agreement. At this, the ministers understood the brotherly love between His Majesty and Prince Ming was real. They’ve really kicked the iron board now.

Feng Yi Xuan walked over to the seat below the throne and sat. This was an honor given by Feng Xia Qi after he ascended the throne. Prince Ming had his own seat at court. He didn’t have to stand like the other ministers. Feng Xia Qi even gave the imperial guards over to Feng Yi Xuan to manage. It can be seen his trust in Feng Yi Xuan.

“What? Why won’t you speak with this prince present?” Feng Yi Xuan stared coldly at the ministers below. He could bear those ministers slandering him but if these people dragged Nian Nian in, he didn’t care if they were ministers of Feng empire.

“Your Majesty, Prince Ming, this subject believes we must deal with Yue empire’s delegates first!” A young official said. Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan spared the young official a look. This one look made Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan feel this young official was familiar.

Feng Xia Qi pondered it for a moment and remembered this official was the recently promoted Secretary of the Revenue Department. Because this person was relatively fair, Feng Xia Qi promoted him. Feng Yi Xuan remembered this man was the very man Nian Nian had sung a song for in Zhen Wei Pavilion and even invited the man to a meal. It was a surprise this man became the Secretary of the Revenue Department but Feng Yi Xuan felt this man suited the court.

“En” Feng Yi Xuan nodded in agreement. He overlooked the ministers below, “Since this prince dared to act, I am not afraid of Yue empire’s harassment. But if there is someone who wants to beguile the masses in our empire, then go accompany him!” Feng Yi Xuan pointed at the minister laying there. Then he sat there without saying a word but none of the ministers below dared to slander Feng Yi Xuan or Lan You Nian.
