Chapter 2061: Romantic Company (7)
Emperor Wu stared at Feng Wu. “Do you still respect your father or not? Aren’t they your brother and sister?”
Feng Wu looked at Emperor Wu in embarra.s.sment.
What was wrong with Emperor Wu? Had he forgotten where he was? The chieftain was still here; why was he talking to “Jun Linyuan” like this in front of everyone?
Emperor Wu stared at “Jun Linyuan” and said coldly, “Answer me!”
Feng Wu had been about to make light of it at first, but now, she saw that she had to be more careful, since what she did might affect Jun Linyuan’s position.
She smiled and looked at Emperor Wu. “Your Majesty, am I not your son?”
Emperor Wu snorted.
Feng Wu chuckled. “Since I’m your son, I don’t think you should ask me if they’re my brother and sister. You should ask Her Majesty the empress.”
Emperor Wu almost choked. “Jun Linyuan!!!”
Feng Wu smiled. “What happened in the tombs was quite complicated. Your Majesty, if you want, I can tell you in detail, but you may want me to shut up because what my brother did was quite humiliating.”
Emperor Wu glared at “Jun Linyuan” and was furious.
The second prince’s stomach lurched.
He had done some cowardly things in the tombs and submitted to Ranmil. That was something too shameful for him to admit…
He gave Empress Dugu a meaningful look.
Empress Dugu took the hint, walked to Emperor Wu, and held his arm. She then spoke in a soft, pleasant voice. “Your Majesty, you’re a father to all your va.s.sals, and I know you spoke to His Royal Highness in such a manner because he’s your son. I’m sure he doesn’t mind, but we’re still at a banquet now.”
She then turned to Jun Linyuan and scolded him. “Your Royal Highness, you should know what His Majesty is like. You really need to apologize to your father now.”
Feng Wu wondered what Jun Linyuan would do in such a situation.
At that thought, Feng Wu couldn’t help but look at Jun Linyuan.
But he was still happily eating grapes, and looked quite content now that someone else had to deal with his problem.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Knowing how stubborn Jun Linyuan was, the empress dowager wouldn’t let him apologize.
So she stepped forward and cast a stern look at Emperor Wu. “The banquet is about to start. Let’s all go back to our seats and enjoy the farewell party.”
Just before the crowd scattered, Feng Wu sighed. “I remember when my mother was still alive. Back then, Your Majesty would never question me like this.
“Then, my mother pa.s.sed away, and Your Majesty had Empress Dugu. After that, Your Majesty hardly ever visited me anymore.
“I was never properly taught, and now, I’m accused of having a bad temper. Yes, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have grown up like this without my father around.
“I’m the only one to be blamed for this.”
…
The crowd was about to scatter, but they all turned to look at “Jun Linyuan.”
The crown prince was never big on expressing his feelings. He was known for his great cultivation achievements. But now, he looked so lonely that one couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
