3501: Going to the Hua Family

Going to the Hua Family

The empress dowager was furious. Everything Feng Wu said was like a needle poking at her. She wasn't behaving like a proper girl at all! However, the empress dowager felt guilty, for fear that Feng Wu would spill the beans.2

After all, the empress dowager still cared about her reputation.

Hence, she glared at Emperor Wu. "You spoiled her. Teach her some discipline!"

Having said that, the empress dowager left in a hurry. She walked so fast that no one could tell how old she was.

As soon as Emperor Wu approached, the empress dowager scolded him before he could ask anything. He looked at Feng Wu in confusion.

Strangely enough, he had thought that the empress dowager would pick on Feng Wu this time, but she had left so soon. After all, she was the empress dowager. Maybe she had become soft-hearted.

That was what Emperor Wu thought, and that was what he said to Feng Wu.

After saying that, he tried to persuade her. "Actually, the empress dowager is a gentle person who either loves and hates a person. She has misunderstood you, which is why she's picking on you. You can coax her later and resolve the misunderstanding. Then everything will be fine."

Feng Wu gave Emperor Wu a strange look.

Master Gao didn't know what to say.

With a wry smile, he told Emperor Wu about the conversation between Feng Wu and the empress dowager. Only then did Emperor Wu realize why his mother was in such a hurry and ran away without looking back.

Emperor Wu shook his head and didn't say anything.

"Let's talk inside."

Feng Wu followed Emperor Wu into the study.

No one knew what they talked about in the study. All Master Gao knew was that Emperor Wu was lost in thought after Feng Wu left.

Emperor Wu was deep in thought when he suddenly looked up and asked Master Gao, "Do you think Feng Wu can really turn the situation around?"

Master Gao said, "What?"

Emperor Wu said, "Can she really turn a bad thing into a good thing with so many people after her?"

Master Gao asked, "Is that… possible?"

Emperor Wu said, "That's right. Is that possible?"

No matter how Emperor Wu thought about it, he couldn't figure out how Feng Wu could turn the situation around.

"What about the crown prince?" Emperor Wu asked. "Is he the key?"

Master Gao looked confused. "His Royal Highness hasn't come back since he left the mansion a few days ago. No one knows where he is."

Emperor Wu rubbed his chin. "That's strange. I asked Feng Wu just now, and she said that what she was going to do had nothing to do with the crown prince. She even asked me if I wanted to work with her."

Master Gao said, "Then Your Majesty, did you…"

Emperor Wu said, "Of course, I said yes! She's my daughter-in-law!"

Master Gao thought to himself, "I wish you could have been so tough in front of Her Majesty just now."

Feng Wu left the palace and went back to the Feng family with Feng Xun.

Feng Xun was confused the whole way. From time to time, he would glance at Feng Wu. What had she told His Majesty? What was her plan?

"You…" Feng Xun couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's your plan?"

Feng Wu said, "Don't worry. You'll get busy."

Feng Xun said, "What?"

But he still couldn't understand. What did she mean? Was it because he was too dumb?

Just then, Feng Wu said to herself, "His Majesty said that the ancient recipe is with the Hua family. They must have brought it out of the Flower Valley this time, right?"

Feng Xun was shocked. "You're going to the Hua family?!"
