Chapter 1199 UntitledGranny Gong brought four young maids with her. They had all been carefully chosen for the task, and were very well-behaved.Some helped Feng Wu get dressed, some tended to her face, and some helped her put her shoes on… Before long, Feng Wu was tidied up and presentable.

Granny Gong herself put a belt on Feng Wu. As she did so, she said, “Miss Feng, the crown prince carried you back himself.”
Carried her back… himself?
Feng Wu’s stomach lurched.
“Wh- what did you say?” Feng Wu seemed shocked.
Granny Gong smiled. “Miss Wu, do you still remember the duel at Imperial College?”
Feng Wu said, “Of course.”
Granny Gong said sympathetically, “His Royal Highness has been in the water dungeon all this time, and flogged as self-punishment, but when the secret guards arrived to inform him about the Xuanyuan family, His Royal Highness broke out of the water dungeon right away.”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Flogged?
Self-punishment?
Broke out of the water dungeon?
Granny Gong said seriously, “His Royal Highness arrived just in time to save you, Miss Wu. Otherwise, we can’t imagine what might have happened to you.”
Biting her lower lip, Feng Wu remained silent, but deep down, she was slightly touched.
Granny Gong was right. If Jun Linyuan hadn’t arrived at the last moment to draw Xuanyuan Kun’s soul out of Xuanyuan Yi’s body, she would have lost the battle.
“Where… is he?” Feng Wu’s clear eyes reminded one of the morning dew, and when she turned around, she looked as pretty as a picture.
Granny Gong secretly rejoiced.
It seemed that all her efforts hadn’t been wasted. The girl, who had been as ignorant of her own feelings as the crown prince, was finally going to acknowledge them.
Smiling, Granny Gong pushed Feng Wu, who was all dressed up, toward the door. “His Royal Highness is in his study. It’s right there, the wooden courtyard.”
Since Jun Linyuan had given her a lot of help, Feng Wu thought that it was only reasonable to thank the guy.
Granny Gong was relieved by the knowledge that she had accomplished her mission. She left in a great mood.
On her way to the study, Feng Wu still felt conflicted over how to thank Jun Linyuan, when she overheard a conversation.
“Have you heard? His Royal Highness carried Miss Feng Wu back himself yesterday.”
“Have we heard? We saw it with our own eyes.”
“So, it’s true?”
“Of course.”
“Don’t you know? Everyone has been talking about it.”
“About His Royal Highness carrying Miss Feng Wu?”
“That’s right. Everyone is saying that His Royal Highness is in love with Miss Feng Wu.”
“But isn’t Miss Zuo our future lady? She’s the real phoenix.”
“Our crown prince won’t just have one woman. Miss Zuo is going to be his official wife, and Miss Feng Wu is going to be the concubine.”
“That’s right. Miss Feng Wu should consider herself a very lucky woman to be able to become a concubine. Surely she isn’t vain enough to hope that she’ll become his official wife.”
–
Feng Wu heard every single word of the malicious conversation.
She had been immersed in her own world, but frowned when she heard this.
Usually, she didn’t care much about other people’s comments, but somehow, she was irritated this time.
Whether it was because of Zuo Qingluan or not, Feng Wu couldn’t care less. She only knew that she was now very angry.
“Thump!”
With a wave of her hand, Feng Wu picked up the maid, who had been guiding the conversation, by the neck!
