Book 15: Chapter 96
“… Wh-what are you suggesting? Who are you suspecting is trying to harm my son? Blue Prince? Green Prince? Their mother?”
“You’re even suspecting Secretary Leng? Also, why in the world would Prime Minister Li want to harm your son?”
“I don’t care. Anyone who I know can be a suspect.”
“Wow, every suspect is someone you’re familiar with. Just how despised are you? You been making a lot of enemies in the imperial palace these years?”
Feng Huang bashfully avoided the question. “Don’t give me that. You’re still as cryptic as you were back then. Do you already know something? Just tell me outright.”
“You still refuse to listen to people.” At the same time Ming Feizhen gave the same reaction as back then, he also flipped his hands over in the same fashion. “If you still haven’t gotten used to people trying to harm a Prince, you’re being neglectful if you don’t assign a hundred bodyguards to Zizi. There’s no way anyone can keep count of the number of contests between his brothers growing up. If anything, the six of them who grew up together only hate each other’s guts more with each passing year. Haven’t you learnt anything from history?”
Feng Huang slammed the table the same way she did back in the day. “Great minds think alike. I’ve been wanting to assign a thousand bodyguards for Zizi. It would be best to have three thousand elites staying by his side at all times. I even wrote a request to His Majesty.”
Even though he knew the suggestion was rejected, Ming Feizhen still asked, “He agreed?”
Feng Huang pouted. “He told me I was being ridiculous.”
