Chapter 25 : Sneaking Into Fuxi Palace
Zhang Fengxi squinted at the many visitors that rained upon the Fuxi Palace as soon as they heard that the Crown Prince was sick.
What a bunch of sycophants!
Xie Jianyu was supposedly not fit enough to receive the many visitors, so the head servant had to suffer in his stead. The elder beta bowed his head many times whenever he received the prominent guests and their lavish gifts.
Zhang Fengxi did not like to succumb to formalities. He thus said to his servant, "You stand here in line and wait until it's our turn. I need to stretch my legs."
"Please remember to come back, Prince," the servant was flustered, but he was helpless against Zhang Fengxi's selfish bouts.
"No worries," Zhang Fengxi quipped before he left.
No worries, he was not coming back.
His main goal in coming to the Fuxi Palace was to take a look at Xie Jianyu's condition. Why would he bother with the head servant? He might just tell Zhang Fengxi the same rehearsed line that he told every other visitor.
Fuxi Palace's detailed map was carved inside Zhang Fengxi's brain. It was because he stared at it every night in the months that led to their attack on Fuxi Palace. Zhang Fengxi remembered every nook and cranny, every weak spot. He naturally also knew where Xie Jianyu's bedchamber was.
