Chapter 306: Feng Jun Tests the Empress's Intentions
"Your Majesty, I heard that Shang'er was also assassinated. I wonder how she is doing now?"
Seeing that His Majesty was also there, Murong Hua brought up something that was still on his mind.
His daughter and son were assassinated together. His son came back, but his daughter didn't know what happened. How could he not be worried?
Ji Yao also knew Feng Jun's worries, so she said, "Feng Jun, don't worry. Jingzhao Yin sent a message that the assassin has been killed, and Shang'er only suffered some minor injuries, and she is fine."
Hearing this, Murong Hua breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's good that you're okay."
"Don't worry, I will never let go of those assassins who hurt Shang'er and Xue'er!"
Ji Yao promised, her face dark and angry.
Not long after the princess was assassinated and poisoned, another assassin tried to assassinate her daughter, which made her wonder if these assassins were in the same group.
Of course, she also had doubts about King Beichen.
After all, they were all assassins, so how come she, Di Ran, was the only one who was not hurt at all?
Too weird!
Moreover, she had always suspected that Di Ran had rebellious intentions, and assassinating her daughter might be her plan.
If she killed all her princesses, the country would be left without an heir, and it would be easy for her to ascend the throne with her power.
So is it her turn now?
No wonder she thought this way, because the power in Di Ran's hands was too great to be ignored.
Ji Yao collected her thoughts, slowly walked out of the inner room, and said casually.
"I heard that it was Xiahou Zhen who saved Xue'er?"
Feng Jun was slightly startled following behind him, but he quickly calmed down and smiled.
"Yes, I heard this from Qinghe as well."
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qinghe beside him: "Qinghe, tell His Majesty what happened in detail."
Qinghe was afraid of Ji Yao's majesty, his eyes trembled slightly: "Yes!"
He then repeated what he had previously told Murong Hua.
Ji Yao lifted her bright yellow dragon robe slightly and sat upright on the chair: "So I should thank Xiahou Zhen." Murong Hua smiled and agreed: "Yes, it was thanks to General Xiahou that Xue'er was saved this time, otherwise I would have lost Xue'er."
Ji Yao nodded slightly, seeming to agree.
Indeed, if it weren’t for Xiahou Zhen.
Not only did Feng Jun lose her son, but she also didn't know how to compensate with a prince for the marriage.
Lord Feng saw that Her Majesty had a calm expression and could not figure out what she was thinking.
But when she thought of her own affairs, her phoenix eyes flickered slightly and her thin lips pursed slightly.
Finally, he couldn't help but look up at Ji Yao and spoke in a low voice tentatively.
"Your Majesty, General Xiahou saved Xue'er, and I am grateful to him, but there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."
Ji Yao raised her eyebrows: "Is there anything that cannot be said between you and me? Say it."
Feng Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it is true that Xiahou Zhen saved Xue'er, but she carried Xue'er all the way back to the palace, and many people saw it. I am afraid that if this matter gets out, it will damage Xue'er's reputation."
Hearing this, Ji Yao frowned.
Seeing that she was not angry, Murong Hua smiled and continued, "I am not blaming you. If it were not for General Xiahou, Xue'er would have been beyond saving."
"However, Xiahou Zhen had physical contact with Xue'er in public. If the rumor gets out, it will be bad for Xue'er's reputation."
Ji Yao frowned, but she couldn't deny Feng Jun's words.
If Xueer's reputation is damaged, the marriage may be hindered.
He just agreed, but his face was calm and no expression could be seen.
"According to Lord Feng's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Murong Hua has been with Ji Yao for more than ten years and has some understanding of Ji Yao's temperament.
Seeing that she looked calm and didn't look angry at all, he spoke tentatively.
"I have an idea. How about Your Majesty issue an imperial decree to marry the two children to silence the gossips?"
