Chapter 118 The Liar's Promise

"Zhao, please speak frankly."

Princess Ankang did not rush Zhao Feng to get up this time, but asked with a smile.

Although she was young, she was smart since childhood, and grew up in a big melting pot like the palace, so how could she not understand that there must be something hidden in this.

Zhao Feng saw that he had laid enough groundwork, so he didn't say anything more and admitted directly: "I dare not hide it from you, Princess. Actually, the snakes, insects, rats and ants that broke into the Jingyang Palace yesterday were arranged by me."

"But please understand, Princess, I have my own difficulties, and I have absolutely no intention of hurting you."

Zhao Feng paused deliberately, and when he saw that Princess Ankang wanted to take over, he took the lead to interrupt: "Please don't ask the reason in detail, this is also for your own good."

"Your Highness, just know that I am working for your majesty."

"If there is any falsehood in the above words, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

After hearing this, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang fell silent.

In a few words, Zhao Feng told everything he could say.

As for the details, they could only imagine.

But with just a few words, Zhao Feng established his own personality.

It showed that he was helpless and had no intention of hurting Princess Ankang.

He also expressed his loyalty to Emperor Yongyuan, and everything was for His Majesty's fearless spirit.

"No matter what kind of person Zhao Feng is, at least he has played his character very three-dimensionally now."

Li Xuan commented.

Princess Ankang lowered her eyelids, touched Li Xuan in her arms, and looked at each other.

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang encouragingly and let her make her own choice.

No matter what Princess Ankang chooses, Li Xuan will fully support her.

Zhao Feng waited anxiously, fearing that Princess Ankang would get angry and act on impulse.

In that case, persuasion would be much more difficult.

But the next moment, Princess Ankang's words made Zhao Feng relieved.

"General Manager Zhao, what do you need Ankang to do?"

Zhao Feng did not answer immediately, but raised his head, his face solemn, looked at Princess Ankang seriously, and said: "Your Highness Princess, your kindness today, Zhao will remember it in my heart."

"If there is a need in the future, as long as it is within the scope of my ability, I will never refuse."

This time Zhao Feng did not kowtow, but chose to bow seriously.

However, throughout the whole process, Zhao Feng's eyes were extremely sincere.

Princess Ankang was stunned when she saw Zhao Feng's expression, and put away her previous joking intention.

This Zhao Feng is also a weird person. As the current general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is usually laughing and joking.

Just now, when he apologized to Princess Ankang, he also tried his best to relax the atmosphere.

But now when thanking Princess Ankang, he was particularly serious and solemn, destroying the atmosphere that he had created with great difficulty before.

Only General Manager Shang understood that his adopted son was serious.

Don’t think that this old man has been calculating all his life. Nine out of ten of his words are not true, and he is full of lies.

But such a person attaches great importance to promises.

Of course, it is not easy to get Zhao Feng to make any promises.

At the beginning, it was also because of this that Shang Zongguan saw Zhao Feng, so he adopted him as his adopted son and trained him as one of the main successors.

And time has proved how correct this choice is.

But even Shang Zongguan did not expect that when his adopted son made another promise, the object would be Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang did not say much, but just nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what Zhao Feng meant.

Zhao Feng then made his request.

"It's not difficult for your Highness to do this."

"You just need to pretend to be ill for a few days from now on, and I will arrange the rest."

"Your Majesty has approved these matters, so your Highness can rest assured."

Princess Ankang tilted her head, thought for a while, and then confirmed: "In other words, I just need to pretend to be ill and stay indoors."

"Really?"

Princess Ankang felt that this matter was too unchallenging for her.

She usually stayed at home.

And they were in the cold palace, and except for the monthly Imperial Garden gathering, there was no chance to go out.

Speaking of which, even if Zhao Feng claimed so to the outside world, Princess Ankang had to stay in Jingyang Palace.

Now he came to ask Princess Ankang for cooperation, which shows his sincerity.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang looked at each other, and they didn't expect the other party's request to be so simple.

At first, seeing that Zhao Feng had been laying the groundwork for so long, they thought it would be a very unreasonable request.

Such a simple thing can be exchanged for a favor from Zhao Feng.

It's really worth it.

"General Manager Zhao, I have no problem with this matter."

"Anyway, I stay in Jingyang Palace. I am naturally happy to help my father and General Manager Zhao."

Although Zhao Feng had expected this, he immediately regained his usual smile when he heard this answer.

"Your Highness is wise, Your Highness is wise!"

Zhao Feng flattered the emperor, and the wrinkles on his happy face were all smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Seeing that his adopted son's troubles were solved so easily, Shang Zongguan also laughed.

I thought I had to risk my old face, but Princess Ankang was really giving me face.

If it were any other princes and princesses, I'm afraid they would have to take advantage of Zhao Feng for the rest of his life because of this.

Thinking of this, Shang Zongguan couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Highness is really too kind."

And this kindness is not a good thing in this palace.

In the deep palace, the more beautiful things are, the more they have to cost to protect.

But looking at the maids and black cats around Princess Ankang, Shang Zongguan could only shake his head secretly.

"Your Highness's illness may also be God's mercy to her."

Shang Zongguan looked at the innocent and lovely smile on Princess Ankang's face, his eyes dimmed.

When people get old, they can't help but sigh at everything they see.

...

A quarter of an hour later.

Jingyang Palace was completely sealed off.

The eunuchs in flowery clothes guarded the place closely, and several imperial doctors were summoned here one after another, and then they all left with sighs.

Princess Ankang was too frightened last night and has been in a coma until now, and her life or death is unknown.

In one night, a Zhaoyuan and a princess suffered a disaster one after another. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation!

The mastermind behind it must be found out and severely punished, and no leniency will be shown.

The nature of this matter was so bad that it spread like wildfire in less than half a day, out of the harem, and into the court.

Feng Zhaoyuan's family and other nobles jointly submitted a memorial, exposing the fact that Feng Zhaoyuan was pregnant, and characterized this as a conspiracy against the royal heirs, and there was a hint of mentioning the previous controversy over the succession.

The civil officials who had been purged before were suddenly in a panic, fearing that they would be unlucky again.

Last time, they lost the position of Zhongshu Ling, which has been vacant until now, with no results.

This time, who can determine that it is not them who are unlucky.

After the position of Zhongshu Ling was vacant before, various forces argued for this position in the court for an unknown period of time.

Now, all the civil officials have shut up and are busy dealing with the dirty water thrown by the nobles.
