49 Trust Issues + Feng Shao Han's Plan

  Time unknowingly passed, the earthquake temporarily stopped, everywhere was a mess, houses collapsed, especially in front of my eyes. According to reports, many places in the imperial palace had collapsed, but the most devastating place was the Cloud Fragrance Palace where Empress Shu was located.

  At this time, everyone looked at Shu Fei's eyes with a strange feeling, and the words of the person they had just met on the road were still vivid in their minds.

  Shu Fei herself also sensed the gaze of these people, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. Damn it, why did heaven not let her go? At this moment, Shu Fei knew that she would probably never have a chance to become the Empress in this lifetime.

  With a hateful glance at Ye Chuchu still in Feng Shaojin's arms, Empress Shu straightened her own back. Even if she couldn't be the empress, she wouldn't let herself be inferior to Ye Chuchu.

  "Today's situation is special, the grand ceremony will be temporarily suspended after the closure, and now let's return to the palace." Feng Shao Han gave an order, and a group of people went to the imperial palace in a mighty manner.

  Watching Feng Shao Han and Ye Chuchu's distant backs, Li Xing felt a sense of unease in his heart. The earthquake that occurred during the grand ceremony was unexpected, but what was even stranger were the words of the person they met on the road, and even more bizarre was why the Emperor chose this particular day - was it intentional?

  But suspicion is still suspicion, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever been able to correctly guess when an earthquake will occur, so Li Xing and others ruled out this possibility, could it be that heaven wants them to perish?

  Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Li Xing's eyes. He had climbed from being a common son to the position of head of the household, proving that man can conquer fate, and his destiny was solely in his own hands.

  Ye Chuchu got on Feng Shaochen's carriage amidst the jealous gazes of the other consorts.

  "Today proved that what you said was correct, can you tell me how did you know?" Originally, Feng Shao Han's attitude towards people beyond his control was to destroy them if he couldn't get what he wanted, but for the person in front of him, he had an unusual patience.

  "Can't." Ye Chuchu didn't give Feng Shaohuang any face, directly refusing. The person in front of her was the emperor of the mortal world, not Su Qingge, she couldn't afford to take risks.

  "Don't you trust me?" Feng Shao Han's eyes gazed at Ye Chuchu with a hint of danger.

  "I don't trust anyone." Ye Chuchu shook her head, a chill in her eyes. The only person she trusted was herself, and for others, there was always limited trust.

  "I will one day make you confess everything to me." Feng Shao said with a determined tone, the man's dignity wouldn't allow him to choose to force the woman to confess, he would make her willing to do so.

  Ye Chuchu didn't respond. She couldn't possibly confess everything to one person, only at this moment Ye Chuchu didn't know that her words were too absolute!

  Feng Shao Han looked at Ye Chuchu's reaction and was about to say something when someone came to report that the Ning King had arrived.

  Ye Chuchu heard Feng Xuefeng's arrival, her eyes flickered slightly, yesterday... "Let Ning Wang come in." Feng Shaohan said immediately, he was eager to know what had happened in the capital.

  "My younger brother has met with the Emperor... and also met with the Imperial Concubine." Seeing Ye Chuchu present, Feng Xuefeng's heart skipped a beat, but he made his voice steady as he spoke.

  "What's the situation in the capital now?" Feng Shao Han asked quickly without noticing anything unusual.

  "Some people were injured, but no deaths have been found so far." Feng Xuefeng spoke truthfully.

  "That's good." Feng Shao Han's heart temporarily calmed down, took a glance at the somewhat dusty and exhausted Feng Xue Feng, only then did he notice the fatigue under his eyes. "You come back to the palace with me."

  "En." Feng Xuefeng replied.

  At this time, in the carriage, because of Feng Xuefeng's arrival, Feng Shaochen no longer discussed the previous issue with Ye Chuchu. Feng Shaochen closed his eyes and thought about how to respond to the ministers when he returned later. He hadn't slept all night, so he took this opportunity to rest a bit.

  On this side, Ye Chuchu's eyes were fixed straight on Feng Xuefeng.

  Feng Xuefeng felt a bit uneasy under Ye Chuchu's gaze, yesterday's events made him feel that some things had changed, after calming himself down, Feng Xuefeng smiled at Ye Chuchu, the matter was already over, it shouldn't leave any marks!

  Ye Chuchu saw Feng Xuefeng's smile and responded with a smile of her own, shifting her gaze away from him.

  This is not the right time to talk!

  The carriage came to a stop, and the only sound left was the creaking of the wheels. As they approached the gate of the capital city, Feng Shao Han opened his eyes.

  Looking at Ye Chuchu who had already fallen asleep, a hint of smile flashed in Feng Shaohan's eyes. He walked over and covered her with the blanket beside him, then sat down opposite Feng Xuefeng.

  "Has everything about the rumor been taken care of?" Feng Shao Han asked, his eyes sharp with calculation. This time, who knows if it will be possible to stir up internal strife in the aristocratic families?

  "The rumor was spread by our people arranged in the Zhou family from the Zhou family." Feng Xuefeng replied, he also just knew that Feng Shaohan had actually planted imperial spies among various court officials, and was somewhat surprised to find that the emperor in front of him was doing better than he imagined, and even more powerful.

  "This time, only success is allowed!" Feng Shao Han said with a firm gaze. It was impossible for the Empress to become the Queen, and in the harem, apart from the Noble Consort Ye Chuchu, there were only two other consorts left. The two consorts started on the same starting line, so who should be chosen? Of course, this had to be decided by them together.

  "In another year, there will be another general election. If it's not successful this time, I'm afraid it'll be difficult next time." Feng Xuefeng also understood the current situation of Feng Shaochen.

  "It's great that you're by my side!" Feng Shao Han looked at Feng Xue Feng and said simply, the intimacy in his tone was unmistakable to anyone.

  Feng Xue didn't say a word, just smiled slightly, and between them, no more words were needed.

  The car had already arrived at the destination, and Feng Shao Han turned his gaze outward. Although he had been informed in advance, many people were still injured, and more importantly, many people were left homeless. However, looking at the orderly scene outside, Feng Shao Han knew that Feng Xuefeng had handled the matter well.

  But to Li Xing, these circumstances were greatly surprising. It turned out that this period of time, Feng Xiaofeng had been nowhere to be seen, and was actually preparing for this earthquake. Taking a look at Feng Shaohuang, the emperor in front of him indeed had some skills!

  "We request an audience with Your Majesty!" The crowd of commoners knelt down and paid their respects as they caught sight of the imperial sedan chair.

  "I will definitely rebuild our home for everyone, now what everyone needs to do is to survive well, the rest, everything will be taken care of by the imperial court." Feng Shao Han walked out of the carriage and sincerely promised to the people.

  "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live...!" The people heard this and were deeply moved, quickly kneeling down to thank him. It has to be said that Feng Shao's actions have reassured the hearts of the people, with the guarantee of those in power being more important than anything else.

  In front of the imperial court

  "I memorialize to Your Majesty, I think this matter may be related to the warning from Heaven, and the rumors among the people may not be unfounded. I believe that Your Majesty should retract the edict appointing Shu Fei as Empress." A minister on the left side of Feng Xiao Han spoke up first.

  "Nonsense, the emperor is the son of heaven, blessed by heaven, how could he be angry with the empress? Shu Fei is just a woman, what great sin could she have committed?" Another group of people from the aristocratic families immediately stood up to refute him, saying that if heaven was indeed angry, the object of its anger would only be Feng Shaoheng, not Shu Fei.

  This sarcastic remark...... Feng Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, don't think he didn't know what this sentence meant.

  At this time, some people had already made small calculations in their hearts. According to what was said, if rumors spread among the people that the emperor's governance is unfavorable, wouldn't it also have a certain effect? By then...

  "I think there will be such rumors among the people, and someone must be manipulating behind the scenes. I entrust this matter to you, and it is imperative that you investigate it clearly." Feng Shao Han ordered, "In addition, Li Ai Qing, I order you to take charge of relieving the people and helping them rebuild their homes. I will allocate 100 million taels of white silver for this purpose."

  "Yes, I have received your orders." The two men, Ning Wang and Li Xing, responded in unison.

  "In addition, in order to calm the people's minds, the grand ceremony of the queen's enthronement will be temporarily postponed indefinitely, and we will talk about it again after the people have settled down." Feng Shao Han continued.

  "Our Emperor is wise." Even if they were unwilling and resentful, they still had to accept it.

  After retiring from court, Feng Xuefeng arrived at Feng Shaochen's Liangzhen Palace.

  "Your Majesty, I'm afraid they will take this opportunity to shake the people's hearts." Feng Xuefeng said with some worry, he had just gotten this idea from the words of those officials, the people's hearts are like water, water can carry a boat or capsize it, this matter cannot be taken lightly.

  "Don't worry! I won't let them make a big deal out of this." Feng Shao said coldly. "You continue to spread the rumor that this matter is related to Empress Shu, this matter must not be covered up, otherwise everything we've done will be in vain."

  "Yes." Feng Xuefeng led the way, without needing Feng Shaochen's instructions, he also knew what to do.

  Digression

  Rebirth of the Counterattack: The Crown Princess

  The story features one female and multiple males, with a clean and innocent male and female lead who are extremely pampered, surrounded by beautiful men.

  "Beauty, look at this prince, how about helping you warm up your bed?"

  The charming man with a sly smile like a fox opened his shirt and gazed at the woman in front of him with deep affection.

  Pure and innocent, speechless, gazing up at the sky. In this day and age, even princes are unwanted? Why do I always want to climb into her bed?
