Chapter 288 : Xie Jianyu’s Pain (1)
"I don’t understand," Lady Song pinned her son with a glare. "Previously, we said that Little Xie should not leave Fuxi Palace because he should not move about. Since he ended up leaving the Heavenly Realm, why not just return to Longjing Palace upon coming back?"
Zhang Fengxi had no answer to give. Zhang Zhiyuan thus tried to placate his wife by saying, "Dear, ah, we should be happy that our son-in-law is back in the Heavenly Realm. I am thinking of coaxing the Emperor to stop giving him tasks like these. It is dangerous for him to continue traveling between realms like this..."
Zhang Fengxi rubbed his weary eyes and let out a heavy sigh.
The tangled web of lies he had woven was growing increasingly difficult to maintain, but at least the Heavenly Emperor knew the truth. That was one small relief.
"Palace Master, Palace Mistress, Prince Fengxi, the Shuiran Palace Master and Mistress have come to pay a visit," a servant announced.
The three people inside the room exchanged puzzled looks.
"Did you invite them to come?" Lady Song shot her husband a glare. Ever since she had the pleasure of exchanging pleasantries with Xie Jianshen in Fuxi Palace, the latter had become some kind of a rival to her.
"Uh, no. Well, I assume Jiang Rufeng has something to talk to me about."
"And why must he bring his wife along?" Lady Song demanded to know.
"My Lady, how am I supposed to know...?"
The couple exited the room, leaving Zhang Fengxi alone with his thoughts. He wondered if Xie Jianshen had read his message and understood the hidden meaning.
