Jiang Xi did not bother to hide her hatred for Huo Xingwen as she looked at Fong Yang and said, "Because I hate Huo Xingwen, I hate him so much that I want to tear him apart. When the time is right, will you kill him for me?"
In the past, with Jiang Xi protecting Huo Xingwen, Fong Yang was reluctant to do anything that would upset her, so he never took action.
Now that Jiang Xi had taken the initiative to propose killing her rival, Fong Yang did not hesitate. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he replied, "If you no longer want to see him, I can have him killed right now."
Jiang Xi shook her head, her eyes filled with hatred. "No, it's not the right time yet. I can't let him off so easily. I want to strip him of everything, make him disappointed and desperate. After he has suffered enough torment, then he can die."
In truth, Jiang Xi felt that letting Huo Xingwen die would be too easy for him.
Fong Yang gazed into the depths of Jiang Xi's eyes. He understood this change of hatred; she didn't need to say it for him to know.
He gently took Jiang Xi's hand and asked with concern, "Is it time for a change of bandages?"
Jiang Xi was taken aback and looked down at her arm, realizing with some surprise, "I almost forgot that my arm was injured. Alright, Your Highness."
At that moment, Yin Ye shouted from outside, "My lord, Steward Meng from the Empress's side has arrived!"
Fong Yang ignored it and carried Jiang Xi into the inner chamber.
Once Jiang Xi regained her senses, she found it somewhat amusing. She was injured in her arm; her legs were fine. Why did he like carrying her so much?
Fong Yang set her down on the bed and turned to fetch the medicine box, paying no attention to Yin Ye's words.
Seeing Fong Yang bring over the medicine box, Jiang Xi calmly reminded him, "Your Highness, Steward Meng likely has important matters to discuss with you."
Fong Yang lowered his head to take out the medicine and bandages, saying indifferently, "Let him wait." Then he focused carefully on changing Jiang Xi's dressings.
Jiang Xi watched as this task, which should not have been performed by a prince, was done with such meticulous care, as if he were afraid of causing her pain. A warmth spread through her heart.
"Shouldn't the prince ask him what he wants first?"
"No need to bother with him."
In Fong Yang's eyes, only Jiang Xi's matters were of importance.
At that moment, Yin Ye rushed in and said, "My lord, Steward Meng said that the Empress requests Lady Jiang to come to the palace."
Fong Yang's expression darkened as he coldly replied with three words: "Tell him to get lost."
Yin Ye understood immediately and was about to comply when he heard Jiang Xi call out, "Wait, Yin Ye!"
Fong Yang's deep gaze locked onto Jiang Xi's brows and eyes, as if to say that with him around, no one could harm her; there was no need to pay attention to anything else.
Jiang Xi raised her eyes and smiled lightly, slowly saying, "The Empress summons me at this time; it must be at the Emperor's behest. It seems he has learned about the affairs in the Wangfu. A dignified emperor losing his composure is already at a disadvantage. However, I won't just obediently go meet him."
Yin Ye initially thought Jiang Xi had called him to agree to go see the Empress, but was surprised by her words and instinctively asked, "What does Lady Jiang mean?"
Jiang Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "You go tell Steward Meng that I am being held captive in the Wangfu by the Regent, and the prince does not allow me to enter the palace."
Yin Ye exclaimed in surprise, "No way. Lady Jiang left the Regent's Palace today and has been out for half the day. Many people saw her, which is enough to prove that Jiang Xi is currently a free person. This reason won't convince the Emperor or the Empress."
"Do as I say," Fong Yang's indifferent voice came through, carrying an order that brooked no dissent.
Yin Ye was taken aback again and quickly complied, secretly grumbling to himself: The master is completely captivated by Lady Jiang; he will do whatever she says without thinking about the consequences. But it probably won’t have much impact.
Even the Emperor and Empress would have to weigh his words carefully.
The medicine had been replaced, and matters were settled.
Jiang Xi then said, "Everything is taken care of. I’ll head back to the Prime Minister's Residence now and come by tomorrow morning to pick up the invitation. Your Highness should rest early."
However, Fong Yang merely gazed at Jiang Xi with his deep-set eyes and retorted, "Weren't you imprisoned in the Regent's Palace by me?"
Jiang Xi was momentarily speechless.
Well, she had said it herself; although it was to appease the Empress, it was indeed her own words.
With no other choice, she had to stay and sent Han Yue to inform her mother that she would be spending the night at the Regent's Palace.
The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Fong Yang ordered someone to prepare a Moonlight Silk gown for Jiang Xi and instructed a skilled maid to carefully style her hair and makeup. Once finished, she looked stunningly beautiful and regal.
Jiang Xi stood before the vanity, gazing at her reflection in the mirror, marveling inwardly: This Moonlight Silk is exclusive to Mian Kingdom, produced only once every three years; it’s rare and hard to come by. Even with money, one might not be able to buy it.
"Where did the prince get it from?"
Fong Yang replied, "From the tribute of the Mian Kingdom."
Jiang Xi was slightly taken aback, and Fong Yang continued, "They are not worthy."
Jiang Xi's cheeks flushed as she blinked playfully, "I am worthy."
Fong Yang silently gazed at her, his eyes filled with tenderness, and softly affirmed, "Worthy."
Saying this in a serious tone made Jiang Xi burst into laughter.
Feeling touched yet amused, she wondered how the prince could be so fearless of the emperor's opinions and unconcerned about angering the empress and concubines in the palace.
Fong Yang reached out to take the comb from the maid's hand and personally smoothed Jiang Xi's hair, his voice indifferent as he said, "The Mian Kingdom was defeated by me; anyone who has an issue can voice it."
Jiang Xi thought to herself how domineering he was. She stood up and turned to look at this man who was clearly younger than the current emperor yet would be addressed as Uncle Emperor by him. With a playful smile, she asked, "Does that mean you will give me anything I want?"
Fong Yang simply replied with a "Mm."
Jiang Xi pressed on, "What if I want to be the empress? Will you seize the kingdom for me?"
All the maids in the shop knelt down in fear, prostrating themselves on the ground and not daring to lift their heads, wishing they could go deaf.
This woman had saved the Earth in her past life, which is why she encountered such an incredibly powerful Fong Yang, who adored her to the utmost.
Even when Jiang Xi expressed her desire to become a queen, Fong Yang did not hesitate at all. "If you want it, I can make it happen."
Jiang Xi pressed her finger against Fong Yang's lips, her eyes calm and gentle. "I was just joking with the prince."
Although such jokes shouldn't be made lightly, in this life, Jiang Xi was fearless. Looking at Fong Yang's almost otherworldly beauty, she paused for a moment before asking, "When the opportunity arises, could you tell me why you like me?"
Fong Yang remained silent, his cool and exquisite features showing a flicker of emotion before quickly returning to tranquility.
Jiang Xi stood on her tiptoes and kissed the corner of Fong Yang's lips, softly saying, "I'm leaving now. Don't worry, prince; I'll be back soon."
Fong Yang responded with a soft "Mm."
Due to Jiang Xi's actions, a hint of deep and mysterious light glimmered in his eyes as he reflected on how heaven truly never disappoints those who work hard.
Jiang Xi exited the palace, accompanied by Han Yue and Han Shuang. They took the carriage that Fong Yang had arranged for her and arrived safely at Princess Chang's Residence.
As Jiang Xi stepped down from the carriage, she silently gazed at the plaque high above the residence. Han Yue approached and handed over an invitation. The butler's expression instantly turned respectful as he bowed to Jiang Xi. "Lady Jiang, please come in."
The Eldest Princess was the emperor's most respected sister, so for her daughter's birthday, all the noble families of the imperial capital came to pay their respects.
