The genial smile on the Emperor’s face seemed to crack a little. Anyone would be unhappy to be embarrassed in public, much less the sovereign of a country.
The Emperor paused for a long time before he recovered.
“Since this is the Grand Tutor’s decision, it must naturally be a good one.”
The Emperor’s acquiescence depressed many.
The Eldest Princess’s expression had not recovered since the Dark Guard’s appearance. The Dark Guard’s speech caused her face to become utterly gloomy.
Despite her many schemes, she could not get rid of Ji Fengyan. Not only that, she had almost been led into a trap where she would have been despised by the Emperor. She had even lost her subordinate, Su Lingsheng.
It could be said that after all the Eldest Princess had gone through, not only was Ji Fengyan unaffected, the princess herself had suffered a double loss.
What was even more frustrating was that the Grand Tutor, Xing Lou, had come forward to protect Ji Fengyan.
To the Eldest Princess, this was even more disgusting than swallowing a fly!
But what could she do? The Emperor had spoken and now the Eldest Princess had no leeway to interject. At this moment, she did not even dare to show her anger. She even had to…
She looked at the Emperor’s smiling profile. Her knowledge of her father made her hairs stand on end.
Lei Min stood to one side, looking like he had lost his soul. Perhaps he was nervous, but his shoulder and the back of his neck were aching, as if crushed by a heavy weight.
Ji Fengyan watched all this coldly. Although Su Lingsheng and Lei Min had gotten their due punishment, however…
it was Xing Lou again!
If this carried on, she did not know how many favors she would owe Xing Lou.
In the past, she could send large quantities of elixirs as a gift to repay her debts, but…
After Xing Lou’s sudden kiss, the two words, “Grand Tutor” formed a name that she avoided like the plague.
“Your Majesty, do you need Miss Ji Fengyan for anything else?” The Dark Guard asked suddenly.
What else could the Emperor need Ji Fengyan for? He could not wait to dismiss her before anything else happened. “Nothing else.”
The Dark Guard spoke again. “In that case, may I bring Miss Ji Fengyan away first? Lord Grand Tutor has asked me to discuss something with Ji Fengyan on his behalf.”
“Certainly.” The Emperor laughed dryly as he spoke. Even an idiot could see that Ji Fengyan was receiving special treatment from Xing Lou. It was just that the Emperor could not yet penetrate this mystery.
Nevertheless…
The Emperor was not willing to fall out with the Grand Tutor over the marriage of a terminator.
When the Dark Guard saw that the Emperor had agreed, he turned to Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan looked at the Dark Guard’s inviting expression with confusion, her heart filled with complex emotions.
At last, under the jealous glare of the Eldest Princess, Ji Fengyan obediently followed the Dark Guard out of the grand hall.
Compared to certain other people, she really could not tolerate the Eldest Princess and her crowd.
When they exited the palace, the Dark Guard’s carriage was already waiting at the door. Ji Fengyan hesitated for a moment, but the Dark Guard guessed her inhibitions and said, “Lord Grand Tutor is rather busy today and cannot get away. May I discuss matters with Miss Ji today?” At the Dark Guard’s words, Ji Fengyan let out a sigh of relief and immediately got onto the carriage before Dark Guard could say anything else.
Her speed shocked the Dark Guard.
For the widely honored Lord Grand Tutor to be despised like that…
must be a strange feeling…
