Chapter 1832: Dropped to a Kneel

Feng Feiyan was so angry that her face turned blue. She stomped her feet and started screaming to Feng Chang, "Father, look at her!"

"Be good, Feiyan. You can explain what happened once I come back," Feng Chang said.

Feng Chang took Ying Su to the palace to request to see His Majesty. As they waited outside the palace, he said to her, "The second prince is insistent on annulling his engagement with you. You know what to say when you see His Majesty, right?"

"Of course," she replied.

The eunuch came out of the hall and said, "General Feng, the emperor summons you."

Feng Chang brought Ying Su into the hall. He knelt down and saluted, but Ying Su remained standing and looked straight at the emperor.

When Feng Chang glanced over and found that Ying Su was not moving, he was startled. He hurriedly whispered, "Kneel down and pay your respects to the emperor."

Ying Su gave a cold laugh. "I…"

Thud! Ning Shu dropped to a kneel on the ground. She fell so hard her knees throbbed with pain. "This humble girl pays respects to Your Majesty. Long live the emperor!"

Ning Shu shouted aloud while she kowtowed.

"Feng Qingqian, will you die if you don\'t act out!?" Ying Su roared after she lost control of the original host’s body.

Feng Chang let out a breath. It seemed like annulling the marriage was the right choice. Considering Feng Qingqian’s weird behavior, the second prince would probably divorce her anyway.

"General Feng, what have you come to see me about?" The emperor asked as he continued reading the memorials. He was now well into his middle age. His expression was serene and emotions weren’t apparent on his face.

"This…" Feng Chang hesitated a bit.

"Dear General, you can be forthright." The emperor placed the memorials down and lifted his eyebrows.

Feng Chang cupped his fists and finally said with a sigh, "I have come to plead with Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please release the second prince from the engagement with my concubine daughter."

"Oh." The emperor lifted his brows, his tone dangerous. "Why? Is my son not good enough for your daughter?"

Feng Chang hurriedly kowtowed. "The second prince\'s status is noble and heavenly. It is my daughter who isn\'t worthy of the second prince."

"General Feng, I don\'t want to hear your excuses." The emperor settled his gaze on Ning Shu who had her head against the ground the whole time. "Tell me why you want to withdraw from the engagement."

Ning Shu cowered for a moment. "Replying Your Majesty, this humble girl knows that her status is humble and that it doesn’t please His Highness. Moreover, His Highness already has a woman in his heart, so he too, hopes that this daughter would withdraw."

"His Highness already went to the Feng family to discuss this matter beforehand. I felt that Qingqian was indeed not a good match for His Highness, so I want to bring it up for Your Majesty to decide," said Feng Chang as he kowtowed.

"Who is the woman that the second likes?" The emperor flipped through the memorial without much concern. His fingers were idly plucking at a string of round and clear jade stones.

"This.. This subject does not know," Feng Chang said.

"Since this marriage was ordered by Noble Consort Du, go and call her over. Call the second prince as well." The emperor gave instructions to the eunuch next to him.

Soon, Noble Consort Du arrived. She saw Feng Chang and Ning Shu, swept a glance at Ning Shu, then curtsied towards the emperor.

"Noble Consort, the Feng family wishes to withdraw from the engagement. Apparently the second has a woman he likes?" the emperor said.

Noble Consort Du was wearing a graceful and luxurious palace dress. Though she was already over thirty years old, she still had a face as beautiful as a peach blossom. When she heard the emperor\'s words, she froze for a moment and looked at Ning Shu. Immediately afterwards she said, "As far as this consort knows, the second prince doesn’t have any woman he likes."

Noble Consort Du then said to Feng Chang, "General Feng, this marriage was made between this consort and Qingqian\'s mother. Now that Qingqian\'s mother has passed away, we should follow the wishes of the deceased."
