Could it be that he fell off the horse because of Rong Rong?

No, it can’t be.

Fang Mingfeng immediately denied it and rubbed his forehead.

He was really crazy. How could he believe Gu Yanfei’s nonsense!

Moreover…

A bitter smile appeared on Fang Mingfeng’s lips, but his eyes were burning with passion. He recalled how Gu Yunrong had risked her life to shield him just now.

For her, so what if he was unlucky? He would gladly endure it!

Fang Mingfeng lay on the ground and looked up at the silver moon in the night sky.

Gu Yanfei’s words echoed in her ears like the ravings of a ghost. “The closer you are to her, the more unlucky you will be…”

No!

Fang Mingfeng tried his best to shake off the words in his mind and repeatedly told himself that it was nothing.

Over the past few days, he had already figured it out.

Even if the person Rong Rong liked wasn’t him, he could protect her silently for the rest of her life!

The surroundings were empty, and the night was quiet. There was no one on the road.

Only Fang Mingfeng was lying there alone.

The cold wind was bone-piercing, but his heart was burning and beating vigorously.

Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps approaching.

Rong Rong!

Gu Yunrong’s beautiful face appeared in Fang Mingfeng’s mind. His eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

He struggled to raise his head and lookin the direction of the footsteps, only to see a pair of old and dirty straw sandals enter his eyes. Right on the heels of that, another pair of cloth shoes with patches of various sizes walked over.

Fang Mingfeng’s heart sank.

The owners of the two pairs of shoes squatted down. One of them said in a rough voice, “This person fell on his horse. It looks like he’s seriously injured.” ‘Quick, take away all his valuables,” the other person urged impatiently.

“How dare you!” Fang Mingfeng gritted his teeth and reprimanded. Two beggar refugees actually dared to be rude to him!

Seeing that he couldn’t move at all, the two beggars didn’t care if he was presumptuous or not. They worked together to rummage through Fang Mingfeng’s body, inside and out. They emptied his wallet, sleeves, belt, and even his short boots. They took away all the valuables, including the jade hairpin in Fang Mingfeng’s hair.

Fang Mingfeng’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The veins on his forehead were bulging. He wished he could kill these two lowly commoners with one slash.

His life had been smooth sailing. Other than suffering a setback in Gu Yunrong’s matter, he had never felt so powerless… even when he was stabbed by Kang Wang that day.

“The closer you get to her, the more unlucky you will be…”

“First, you’ll be injured and bankrupted. Then, your family will be destroyed until you have nothing left.”

“At that time, you will be stuck in a quagmire and won’t have a good ending!”

Gu Yanfei’s words echoed in his ears over and over again. This time, he couldn’t get rid of it no matter what and couldn’t forget it.

From afar, the wild cat’s loud cries could be heard again, as if it was mocking someone.

The night was getting darker and colder.

Icicles hung down from the eaves, and the dew on the ground condensed into frost.

The sky gradually brightened as the sun rose.

The British Crown Prince was found unconscious in an alley by the patrolling Five Cities Military Department. His hair and clothes were soaked in dew, and he had clearly been frozen for the entire night.

When the British Duke Fang Huairui was notified by the Military Department of the Five Cities to come and pick him up, his face was extremely dark.

He didn’t even ask what had happened to the prince. He only fiercely ordered the servants to throw him back into the residence and take good care of him.

Then, Fang Huairui hurried into the palace.

Since the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the Emperor hasn’t attended the morning court assembly. Whenever the officials asked, the chief eunuch, Zhao Rang, would say worriedly that the Emperor had caught a cold on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year when he was personally interrogated at Chengtian Gate and wasn’t feeling well.

The Emperor didn’t attend court, and the memorials handed over by the court officials were all suppressed. No matter how much those noble families quarreled and made a fuss, if they couldn’t see the Emperor, it would be like punching cotton without causing injury.

There was a long line outside the Qianqing Gate, and many officials were waiting there in the cold wind.

They all knew Fang Huairui and nodded at each other. They thought that Fang Huairui had also come to see the Emperor.

However, Fang Huairui didn’t go to Qianqing Palace. Instead, he went to Yangxin Hall from Yuehua Gate and politely asked Eunuch He to help pass the message. “Eunuch He, I want to see the Eldest Prince.”

Eunuch He went in to report, and not long after, he came out and led Fang Huairui in. They passed through the curtains and arrived at the East Warm Pavilion.

In the past, the East Warm Pavilion was always filled with a strong medicinal smell. Ever since the Emperor gave this place to Chu Yi, it had become another place of clear and refreshing incense fragrance. There was no parrot’s cry, and the surroundings were abnormally quiet..
