3837: The Patriarch (3)

The Patriarch (3)

Feng Wu asked curiously, "Does the emperor of Northern Yan respect Huyan… ahem, your Patriarch very much?"0

The prince was speechless. "What are you talking about? Does the Junwu Empire have no respect for your Patriarch?"

Feng Wu didn't answer. Instead, she changed the subject. "I need to see him."

The prince noticed that Feng Wu didn't say "I want to see him" but "I need to".

After a pause, he asked Feng Wu, "Are you serious?"

Feng Wu nodded. "I need to see him."

Rubbing his smooth chin, the prince was lost in his thoughts.

"To be honest, it's very difficult to see the Patriarch. He's so elusive that he may not be in Northern Yan now."

Feng Wu said, "But he'll be here in two weeks."

The prince looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment. "Why are you so sure?"

Feng Wu repeated, "He has to be here."

Seeing how serious Feng Wu was, the prince realized that she must know something…

"Fine, let's just say that he's in Northern Yan, but it's still very difficult to meet him." The prince smiled bitterly. "Actually, it'll be easier if you go to Raoxi because the Patriarch has been kind to her."

Feng Wu asked, "Really?"

The crown prince nodded. "It's true. He once said that Raoxi looked a lot like an old friend of his… Maybe that's why. Who knows? But Raoxi can indeed enter this Spiritual Concealing Tower.

"If it wasn't for the fact that the Patriarch likes Raoxi, a woman like her would never have been able to compete with me for the throne. My father still values the Patriarch's opinion more than anything else." Seeing that Feng Wu was honest, the prince was very straightforward.

Feng Wu nodded and said affirmatively, "I'm sure you can figure it out."

The prince smiled bitterly and didn't reply.

He suddenly asked, "Can you tell me why you want to see the Patriarch? Although I'm a prince, the Patriarch's safety is at stake, and my father won't leave it alone. I'm taking too big a risk."

After some thought, Feng Wu decided to tell the crown prince, "Have you heard of the Primary Heaven Pill?"

The crown prince nodded. "The pill is a body-strengthening elixir the Patriarch prepared for Raoxi. She hasn't been well since she was little, so she…"

"It's mine."

Feng Wu spoke before the prince could finish.

The prince was baffled and stared at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu nodded and repeated, "The pill is mine."

The prince was shocked.

What happened today had exceeded his expectations several times. The girl in front of him was a legend!

"Did you just say…" The prince swallowed. "The pill is yours?"

Had it been anyone else, he would have kicked them out already. However, this was Feng Wu, and Feng Wu had made her name in the Junwu Empire. Not to mention what Feng Wu had just done, the prince couldn't help but believe her.

Feng Wu nodded and didn't say another word.

The prince leaned back in his chair and heaved a sigh. "If that's true, then…

"Can I make a guess?" The prince sat up straight again and leaned forward. "The Patriarch doesn't dote on Raoxi as much as she claims. Of course, you know that people like us don't like to spread the news ourselves. All we need to do is to take advantage of the situation and send out a signal."
