Chapter 20 [20] He gave her a sense of security

"Your Majesty, I will use this blank imperial edict to ask you to grant me and Feng Lingyan a marriage."

"This prince wants to marry Feng Lingyan and make her his principal wife. You, if you have any objections, just keep them to yourself!"

Gong Yanchen showed his domineering attitude and made it clear that if the emperor dared to disagree, he would not mind seizing his throne and sitting on it himself.

Feng Lingyan stared blankly at the monster in front of her, her heart was filled with ripples. Why was he so stupid?
He could obviously use this blank imperial edict to seize the throne legitimately, but he chose to use this imperial edict to ask to marry her. How lucky she, Feng Lingyan, was to be favored by him!

"Gong Yanchen!!!" Feng Lingyan's cat-like pupils were filled with tears of emotion. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. Regardless of so many people watching, she threw herself into Gong Yanchen's arms and buried her face in his arms. Her tears of emotion all rubbed onto the brocade clothes on his chest.

Gong Yanchen, who has a serious mysophobia, not only did not despise him, but pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Silly, you are worth it!"

Gong Yanchen's words "Silly girl, you're worth it" gave her a sense of security and made Feng Lingyan's heart fall completely.

"Your Majesty! You absolutely cannot do this! Feng Lingyan is the prince's future princess!" The queen had a gloomy expression and quickly knelt on the ground, looking at the emperor with resentful eyes, trying to stop Gong Yanchen from asking the emperor for the imperial decree to grant the marriage.

The emperor kicked the queen to the ground with a kick, his eyes cold: "Queen, are you teaching me how to do things? It is not your turn to say what I want to do! Besides, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Have you forgotten it long ago, Queen?"

The emperor, who was afraid that Gong Yanchen would go back on his word, immediately gave Lin Hai a look. Lin Hai quickly asked someone to bring pen and ink, and took out the jade seal he brought with him. The emperor wrote the imperial edict on the spot to grant marriage to Gong Yanchen and Feng Lingyan.

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules. The engagement between Yanyan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was arranged by you and my humble father."

"Now that the engagement has been cancelled without informing my father, how sad will he be?"

Feng Xun knew clearly that he shouldn't speak at this time, but the deep look the Queen gave him made him understand that he had to make this decision. After all, he was a member of the Feng family and did have a say.

"Someone come here! Feng Xun made rude remarks, and he shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane and his salary shall be reduced for half a year. Shut his mouth and beat him hard!" Emperor Jing was furious. Do these idiots understand that this blank imperial edict has been tormenting him for eight years?

It was like there was a royal sword on his head that could fall down and chop him to death at any time, and he couldn't resist.

Madam Feng's face turned pale. She was about to say something but was stopped by Feng Xun's eyes. They couldn't let the whole army be wiped out.

All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The emperor is wise and powerful, long live the emperor!!!"

Those ministers who were loyal to Emperor Jing were even more delighted. Now they were relieved and no longer had to worry that His Royal Highness Prince Chen would take away the throne at any time.

"Your Majesty, ask the people at the Imperial Observatory to set an auspicious date as soon as possible. I don't want her to be wronged or have anyone throw dirty water at her."

Gong Yanchen saw the imperial seal on the imperial edict. When Lin Hai was about to read it out, he took it away. A look made Lin Hai return to the emperor in shame and grievance. He then left a word and embraced Feng Lingyan and went straight into the palace.

Soon after, the gate of Prince Chen's Palace closed quickly, leaving behind the Emperor, the Empress, so many civil and military officials, and the common people who were watching the fun. It was as awkward as it could be.

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace!" Lin Hai was as smart as he was, and he responded quickly. The eunuchs and palace maids who were accompanying him helped the emperor leave this embarrassing place. When the queen saw that the emperor didn't even look at her and walked away, she gritted her teeth and watched Feng Xun being beaten with a stick. She looked at Madam Feng with cold eyes: "Madam Feng, this is the show you let me watch, right? It's really great! It's great!"

The Queen wanted to go up and slap Shangguan Qingwan hard. It was all her fault. She hadn't planned anything well, but she let her get caught up in it. She also caused Xuan'er to lose the support of the people and the heart of the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is all my fault. I will definitely correct my reckless temper and make sure Your Majesty looks at me with new eyes."

Madam Feng swallowed the anger in her heart. She didn't want things to turn out like this, but Feng Lingyan's actions were repeatedly out of her control, and even her children suffered misfortunes.

"Hmph! I'm waiting for good news at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet." The Queen lowered her voice and made a special mention when she passed by Madam Feng before getting on the carriage.

Madam Feng bowed her head and quickly responded, "I will definitely not let your Majesty down. I respectfully send you off."

At that moment, Madam Feng's eyes were filled with hatred. It was clearly the Queen who teamed up with her to kill Feng Jin and Bai Qianyi. Why had she always been living in fear while Liancheng Mingzhu could sit firmly on the throne of Queen and live a carefree life?

As the Emperor and the Empress left one after another, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pretended to be unconscious, avoiding the disgusted looks of the crowd, and evacuated quickly. The civil and military officials and onlookers also left quickly.

Just kidding, His Royal Highness Prince Chen’s excitement is not good to watch. If you are not careful, you will not see the sun tomorrow.

Only Madam Feng, with a gloomy face, ordered the people in the Feng Mansion to carry Feng Xun, who was half dead after being beaten with a stick, onto the carriage. She once again acted out her acting skills: "My husband, it's all my fault. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"It is clear that my father has arranged a spy in Prince Chen's mansion to pass on information, so our actions must be absolutely foolproof."

"I don't know what went wrong. Why did Feng Lingyan, that bitch, seem to be helped by God after escaping death this time?"

Madam Feng was thinking of something, and her eyes were instantly filled with fear. She looked at Feng Xun in horror, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Feng Xun, who was being caned, had no mood to guess what Madam Feng was thinking. He almost blurted out, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

However, due to the pain, Feng Xun had to swallow the fart. The frustration in his heart made him want to cut Feng Lingyan into pieces.

"Husband, is there a possibility that the current Feng Lingyan is not the Feng Lingyan we know?"

Madam Feng's eyes lit up and she had a bold guess in her mind. She suddenly felt full of fighting spirit. If it was as she thought, then all the variables made sense.

"Madam, you are really ridiculous. Feng Lingyan has a birthmark on her face, but her mother used a special potion to cover it up. Have you forgotten?"

Feng Xun gasped, Damn it, it hurts so much!
"Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget about this? However, Master Yikong of Xiangguo Temple is an accomplished monk. Why don't we ask him to help us test Feng Lingyan to see if she has been possessed by an evil spirit?"

Mrs. Feng had her doubts in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible, and she immediately became extremely excited.
