Chapter 141 The Truth About Falling Off the Cliff
Chapter 141 The Truth About Falling Off the Cliff
After returning to the main courtyard and entering the room, Feng Zhaoyun saw that no one was around. He shook off Bai Mohan's hand, rubbed his wrist, and said distantly, "Since you have agreed, go to bed early. Come with me to the palace for the banquet tomorrow."
Bai Mohan looked at his empty hands and shook his head helplessly, "How heartless... Princess, can't you be a little gentler to me?"
Feng Zhaoyun looked at Bai Mohan with an expressionless face, "Your Highness Prince Mo, you must be tired from the journey. Rest early."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out of the main courtyard bedroom.
Bai Mohan looked at her back and chuckled helplessly, "My Highness, I don't owe you a favor..."
At this time, a secret guard knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, this is a letter from the Ninth Princess." After that, he presented the letter to Bai Mohan with both hands.
Bai Mohan took the letter and sat down leisurely. After reading it, he casually placed it on the candle beside him. In an instant, the letter was burned to ashes.
Bai Mohan said, "Go down and act according to the plan."
Secret guard: "Yes."

Duke's Mansion,
Bai Jinzhi, wearing a black cloak and carrying a black eagle, entered through the back door of the Duke's country.
At this time, the butler was already waiting at the back door. When he saw the man in the cloak, he did not dare to neglect him and bowed directly, "Please follow me."
Entering the study in the Princess's courtyard, the outside was full of secret guards from both sides, keeping a tight rein.
After Bai Jinzhi closed the door and entered, he took off his cloak.
After seeing his son's appearance clearly, Duke Feng involuntarily took a step back, and then slowly walked towards Bai Jinzhi.
Duke Feng's eyes filled with tears as he grasped Bai Jinzhi's shoulders, his voice trembling, "You rebellious son... I thought you were dead! If you were alive, why didn't you write to let me know? Do you know that I shed tears every day, worried that something bad had happened to you?"
This was the first time Bai Jinzhi saw tears on his father's face. He was suddenly stunned. From childhood to adulthood, his father had always been extremely strict with him. This was the first time he saw his father cry for him.
This scene is quite different from what I imagined before I came here.
Bai Jinzhi looked at Duke Feng and his heart softened. "Father, Mother is not dead. Do you know that Mother is the Queen of Yan?"
After hearing this, Duke Feng let go of Bai Jinzhi, turned around and sat on the chair without saying a word.
He had been deceived for so many years, and he had always planned to avenge her, but he didn't expect that it was all a lie. She had already faked her death and returned to her country, abandoning him and their son.
Bai Jinzhi looked at his father and said, "Since the Queen didn't kill my mother, there's no revenge to be had. Tomorrow, I hope my father will lend a helping hand to Her Highness the Crown Princess."
Duke Feng looked up at Bai Jinzhi at this moment, "Yun Jin, since you are the prince of Yan State, why do you want to come back and be with her as a servant in the palace?"
After hearing this, Bai Jinzhi half-closed his eyes, slowly walked to the window, looked out the window, and did not answer.
Duke Feng sighed as he looked at his son. "I've already written to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. I'll help her tomorrow. You can rest assured."
Bai Jinzhi turned around and said, "Thank you, father. Tomorrow I will personally lead the troops of the Duke's Mansion to help Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
Duke Feng stood up and walked towards Bai Jinzhi, "Think carefully, if you help her this time, she will have no rivals and will be able to sit firmly on the throne. If you want to be with her, you will really have to enter the harem and compete with others for favor. Are you really willing to do that?"
Bai Jinzhi lowered his head and smiled slightly after hearing this, his thin lips parted, "So what... If I'm not with her, there's no point in me going back to be a prince."
Duke Feng shook his head helplessly and smiled, "You risked your life to kill her back then, and now you're risking your life to protect her. If she knew it was you who caused her to fall off the cliff, would she still be with you?"
Bai Jinzhi was stunned after hearing this. He actually forgot...
Seeing his expression change, Duke Feng quickly said, "Feng Yaoyu is not a good monarch. No matter what, for the sake of Shang State, I will help Her Royal Highness. But as a father, I also want to advise you: emperors are very ruthless. If she knew it was you who almost killed her, she would never be with you! Now that this matter is over, you should return to Yan State and be your prince!"
After saying this, Duke Feng walked out of the study with a flick of his sleeves, leaving Bai Jin standing there alone.
When Her Highness the Princess fell off the cliff and woke up, her temperament changed drastically. She was no longer the decisive, strong and ruthless war king she used to be.
She had always been against the notion of women being superior to men, and since waking up from the cliff, His Highness had been very kind to her. This was the first step for her to enter her own heart. He didn't see any notion of women being superior to men in her.
But what his father said also hit his heart. If she knew that it was he who shot her to death with his arrow and made her fall off the cliff, would she still choose to be with him?
At this time, Black Hawk walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the room has been cleaned up."
Bai Jinzhi came back to his senses, sighed softly, then walked out of the study and returned to Yunge Garden.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Feng Yaoyu is also very excited. She has already ordered that the whole city be under martial law and no one can leave or come in.
At the Queen's birthday banquet tomorrow, she will read the abdication decree on behalf of the Queen on the spot. The Queen has already been unconscious and has arranged everything. She will not allow anyone to ruin everything she has arranged.
Feng Yaoyu was in the imperial palace at the time. She received a secret letter from a young eunuch beside her. After reading the contents of the letter, she suddenly laughed out loud, "Great! You didn't expect that, did you? Feng Zhaoyun!"
Then she lit the secret letter with a candle and threw it on the ground. After tomorrow, she would be the emperor of the Shang Kingdom. She had always lived under the shadow of Feng Zhaoyun since she was a child, and her father only loved her incompetent third sister. After tomorrow, she would no longer have to live in fear of anyone else.
At this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and then it started to rain heavily...
Feng Yaoyu stood up and walked to the window, "Feng Zhaoyun...see you tomorrow."
