The young eunuch rushed over and bowed, reporting, "Eunuch Xia, Consort Shurong wishes to see the Emperor, saying she has something she wants to personally deliver to him."
Xia Cheng raised an eyebrow, then gestured for the little eunuch to wait outside before entering the study himself.
In the study, Feng Zixiao, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was still incredibly handsome even in his rage. Coupled with his domineering presence, he was someone no one dared to underestimate.
Xia Chenggong reported: "Your Majesty, the newly arrived Consort Shurong wishes to see you, saying she has something to hand over to you."
"Shurong?"
Feng Zixiao snorted. He was still somewhat unfamiliar with the name. After thinking for a moment, he remembered Jiang Feixue, whom his mother had insisted on bringing to the palace. What was this woman doing here? Feng Zixiao's face darkened. Now, he felt disgusted by anything related to the Jiang family. He not only felt disgusted but also loathed it. Feng Zixiao instinctively waved his hand and ordered Xia Cheng, "Let her go back. What is she doing here? From now on, let her stay in the inner palace and not run around aimlessly."
After Feng Zixiao finished speaking, Xia Cheng responded and turned to leave. After taking two steps, he turned back and stood beside the Emperor's dragon desk, speaking cautiously.
"Your Majesty, she said she has something to give you personally. This thing might be of benefit to Your Majesty, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come and see you."
These words awakened Feng Zixiao. He frowned, realizing he had been too angry to think straight. If Jiang Feixue didn't have something important in her possession, she probably wouldn't have dared to come and see him.
Thinking it over, he ordered Xia Cheng, "Bring her in."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant will take care of it immediately."
Xia Cheng was extremely loyal to the Emperor, which is why he reminded the Emperor when the Emperor was angry, something that ordinary people would never have said.
He responded and walked out, exiting the Taihe Palace gate with the eunuch outside. He then respectfully addressed Jiang Feixue, who was standing outside the gate.
"Please come in with me, Your Majesty. His Majesty is waiting for you."
Jiang Feixue nodded, dressed in a magnificent palace gown, her hair styled in a five-phoenix bun, adorned with a gold hairpin with tassels that swayed gracefully with her movements, a sight to behold. Xia Cheng sighed, "This woman is indeed an absolute beauty. If it weren't for Jiang Batian's presence, she would probably have a place in the palace. But she is Jiang Batian's daughter. I wonder what she is going to offer."
Xia Cheng led Jiang Feixue into the Imperial Study, and then led all the eunuchs to retreat and stand guard outside the door.
Inside the Imperial Study, Jiang Feixue gazed tenderly at the Emperor, who sat regally behind the dragon desk. This outstanding man, a dragon among men, was her beloved husband. From a very young age, she had dreamed of becoming a woman worthy of him, which was why she had studied diligently what a Crown Princess should learn. She was more suitable than anyone else to stand by his side. Back then, her father and brother would say that she was born to be an Empress, that she was the only one in the world worthy of the Crown Prince. But in the end, it all came to nothing. Now, she would rely on her own efforts to achieve this wish.
"This humble servant greets Your Majesty."
Feng Zixiao already knew that Jiang Feixue had come in, and he had also received her admiring gaze, which was burning hot.
From childhood, he had long been used to being the center of attention and being admired by others, but no one had ever dared to look at him so passionately, so boldly and without hesitation.
Feng Zixiao couldn't help but narrow his eyes, a fleeting glint of light flashing in his dark pupils. He then looked up at the beautiful woman in the study, her face flushed with shyness, but her eyes burning with passion.
"You said you have something you want to personally deliver to me?"
Feng Zixiao didn't know what a weak woman like her would have to give him, and he wasn't particularly concerned.
Jiang Feixue smiled slightly, her lips curving into a confident smile.
"The distribution map of Jiang's army".
"The distribution map of Jiang's army?"
Feng Zixiao raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Had she heard correctly? How could this woman have General Jiang's distribution map? That was an extremely confidential document. Could it be fake? Feng Zixiao had a gut feeling that this was the case, and a cloud of doubt flashed in her eyes.
This is a major event in the military. If the distribution map she has is real, then it will be a great help to him.
"I secretly copied this from my father's study. Your Majesty, rest assured, it is genuine."
After Jiang Feixue finished speaking, she handed over the distribution map that she had copied down.
This distribution map looks like it was copied, but the distribution is easy to see. If this distribution map is real, Jiang Feixue has done a great service.
Although Feng Zixiao had doubts, he was very happy, and his gaze towards Jiang Feixue became much gentler.
"Sit down."
Upon hearing Feng Zixiao's words, Jiang Feixue felt a surge of excitement. It seemed that she had indeed gotten closer to the Emperor. As long as the Emperor knew that she was of one mind with him, sooner or later he would completely trust her. Thinking this, Jiang Feixue felt even more certain that her idea was correct. She would never let her father go down the path of rebellion.
As long as she becomes empress, the Jiang family will not perish, and it will be the same whether her father has military power or not.
"Your Majesty, I thank you."
Jiang Feixue sat gracefully beside Feng Zixiao, her face flushed. The person she had been longing for was sitting right next to her, so close that she felt like she was about to faint.
Looking at the Emperor so closely, he appears even more handsome.
"What's wrong?" Feng Zixiao looked at the distribution map in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Feixue staring at him with a flushed face. Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind. His mother's idea was right. Jiang Feixue clearly liked him. Why didn't he control her to deal with Jiang Batian? With this thought, he smiled brightly and looked at Jiang Feixue gently. He put down the distribution map and reached out to hold Jiang Feixue's hand. To be honest, Jiang Feixue was very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. If it were Jiang Hailing, even if he were asked to pretend, he probably couldn't.
As Feng Zixiao thought about it, the smile on her face grew even gentler.
Jiang Feixue's heart was beating faster and faster. The Emperor was so close to her, holding her hand and speaking to her so gently.
This distribution map is really worth it.
"Your Majesty, is there something else I wish to discuss with you?"
"you say?"
Feng Zixiao's dark pupils were like a giant magnet, firmly attracting Jiang Feixue, making her willingly succumb to them.
"Actually, not all the people in the Jiang family army obey my father. The Jiang family army consists of three forces: one part is my eldest brother's, one part is my second brother's, and the rest is my father's. The Emperor should know that my eldest brother and I are from the same mother, so naturally he is on my side in everything. I know there is a conflict between the Emperor and my father, and I will persuade my eldest brother to be loyal to the Emperor."
Jiang Feixue's gentle and melodious words were as beautiful as the warbling of a nightingale to Feng Zixiao.
Regardless of whether Jiang Feixue's words are true or false, and whether Jiang Wenhao will be loyal to him, at least one thing is certain: the Jiang family army is not united. Now that there is a distribution map, it will be much easier to control them.
Moreover, Jiang Feixue said she could persuade her older brother to pledge allegiance to her, so whether she succeeded or not, it was still a good idea—no loss if she retreated, and a gain if she advanced.
Once Feng Cixiao understood, he couldn't help but brighten his eyes, and the worries he had been having for days finally eased a bit.
