After dinner, Zhao Sue took Ru’er to Zhao Lan’s room to talk, while Bai Zhi and Hu Feng went to Dongfang Mu’s study room.
The rest were free to move around.
The smile on Dongfang Mu’s face disappeared after Hu Feng’s words. He also felt a little heavy. The emperor’s decision was beyond his expectation, but he didn’t expect he would do it so obvious in front of Chu Yan. How could he protect his son and hurt his other son?
“Yan’er, what do you think in your heart?”
Chu Yan frowned: “Master, it doesn’t matter what I think. The important point is what the imperial father thinks about it. No matter what Chu Feng does to me, imperial father’s attitude didn’t change.”
Dongfang Mu said: “In this matter, your imperial father didn’t do the right thing. If a prince violates the law, he must be punished like an ordinary person. How could he not understand such a simple truth? If this continues, Chu Feng will act more unscrupulously, and it will be hard to predict what disaster he will cause.”
Bai Zhi was listening while considering whether to tell or not to tell Chu Feng deliberately made chances to encounter her.
If you mention it, what wound Hu Feng do? Will it make things more troublesome for him?
The current situation was enough to make him feel bad. If she mentions this thing, will he be in a more difficult situation?
Thinking about it, she decided to conceal the matter first. After all, nothing major happened.
But she didn’t expect that hiding it would be useless… … Her grandpa’s mouth was much faster than her.
“There is one more thing, I have to remind you.” Dongfang Mu said.
Chu Yan nodded, “Master, you say.”
“Shortly after you left the capital, the Empress Dowager asked Zhi’er to enter the palace to treat her. She took this opportunity to let her go to the Empress’s palace. The Empress not only put medicine in the tea but also deliberately let the palace maid spill tea on Zhi’er. Then ask her to change clothes. Who knows where, but Chu Feng was there hiding and waiting. Fortunately, Zhi’er was clever and ran to Imperial Concubine Shu’s palace. Imperial Concubine Shu helped her and let someone send her back. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Hearing this, Hu Feng almost lost his senses in anger. He swept a few books on the table and said angrily: “Damn it, they know about my marriage agreement with Zhi’er, but they dare to—”
The Empress dared to do this, no need to question why. She and Chu Feng were mother and son. They have the same heart. Naturally, they will share both fortunes and misfortunes. But what about the Empress Dowager? Why did she do this? Chu Feng was her grandson and so was he, right?
Bai Zhi busily said: “There is nothing we can do about it now. We will write it down first and make them pay later. Now you have more important things to do. Don’t make a fuss about this matter for now.”
Dongfang Mu nodded: “Zhi’er is right. Although this matter is really irritating, right now, the matter of pacifying the Jin Country is the most important thing. If one is careless, the two countries will go on a war, and many lives will be destroyed.”
Hu Feng took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Bai Zhi: “You must be very careful when you go out in the future. I will send two shadow guards to protect you. They will not disturb your daily life.”
Dongfang Mu nodded his head: “That’s good, I also have this plan, but I haven’t found the right person. When I came to the capital this time, I didn’t bring many people with me. There is no one suitable to be a shadow guard. I am planning to transfer people from Qiyun Mountain. If you have suitable people, let’s use it in the meantime.”
Hu Feng nodded his head: “Okay, I will do it immediately when I go back.”
Bai Zhi didn’t care about this, as long as they don’t disturb her daily life. She simply asked: “How is the Princess of Jin Country now?”
Hu Feng shook his head, “It’s not clear yet. The princess has been sent to the palace, and the imperial doctors have been invited to look at her condition. I will know the result when I enter the palace tomorrow.”

I’m really glad DM said it too, better it comes out now when there’s someone there to calm HF and clear his head, rather than it come out at a crucial moment and cause a mistake. BZ was overthinking there…
Obrigada
CF is really testing HF’s limit
thank you
Tbh I’m so tired of reading about ML being praised like they’re so perfect but can’t do anything. Like I know, he is only human and his flaws are realistic but have you forgotten author that BAI ZI is the anomaly and she’s from the start not so “realistic”? It’s like you keep writing Hi Feng as cool this, angst that, strong, handsome, smart, a total duds that can do many things if he wants to but HE CAN’T. On the other hand BAI ZI was written and can act so OP but decided to “lay low” like she wanna maintain her simple life but can’t because she will show her mighty skills and subdue the bad things/guys.
This people should learn from Him Win Wang and Jim Wang Fei of “Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife.” Both MC specially the ML is written to do anything and he CAN without
major setbacks, he’s the one controlling things. Bai Zi also should learn from him how to “lay low”. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
After reading many many many novels, I am also tired of ML who is too arrogant, cold, perfect, richy rich. You know the kind of character who is to good to be true. Sometimes, just encountering them, make me stop reading the novel at once. Or there is this very likable ML, and then suddenly had an amnesia and turn into that arrogant, meanie, cold, etc. character, which a big turn off for me.
There are also some novels, that although I hate the MCs, I can’t stop reading because the flow of the story is addicting.
There are many MC’s like this and MC’s like you mentioned. At the end of the day, we can’t do about it, it all depends on the author’s taste. Just be patience if you like the flow of the story. ^.^
