Here, Zhao Shuning administered poison to Lin Feng day after day.
In Qingyun Kingdom, Feng Zhan was extremely annoyed by that young girl from the Jun family.
Wherever Feng Zhan went, she would follow.
If Feng Zhan got really irritated and snapped at her, she would behave herself for a while. But then, she would gather her courage and stick to him again.
Qingyun Kingdom was vast.
There were two prominent families in this kingdom, the Jun family and the Wei family.
The Jun family had risen rapidly recently. There was an Eastern strategist in their family. No one knew why, but the king treated Dongfang Yuxi extremely well. Whatever he wanted to do, the king always gave his tacit approval and let him do as he pleased.
Moreover, the Jun family had many descendants, and most of their children were outstanding. Among all the children in the Jun family, Jun Jiu was the only girl. So, her brothers had doted on her since childhood.
As for the Wei family, it was a hereditary noble family. There was a child in the Wei family named Wei Ziyun. Wei Ziyun was known as the most handsome man in Qingyun Kingdom.
He was upright and had a sunny appearance.
The king of Qingyun Kingdom, Su Mu, was also good - looking. However, due to the long - term suffering from heart disease over the years, his face was a bit pale. He and Wei Ziyun were two different types of handsome men.
Thanks to Jun Jiu, Feng Zhan's life was "colorful".
But Feng Lingtong's life was full of twists and turns at this moment.
No one could have imagined that after living for so long, Feng Lingtong was a novice when it came to matters of the heart.
Everyone in the palace could tell that Su Mu was in love with the Holy Maiden. But Feng Lingtong thought that Su Mu was just grateful because it was her treatment that had improved his condition. Also, although Feng Lingtong had asked the king of Qingyun Kingdom to remove the statue in the square after she came, they were still members of the Feng royal family. The people and the king of Qingyun Kingdom still held her in awe. Feng Lingtong believed that Su Mu only had a feeling of awe towards her.
Su Mu had never intended to confess his feelings to Feng Lingtong at first. He knew that the Holy Maiden was the Holy Maiden of the people of Qingyun Kingdom and a member of the Feng royal family. He was just the king of Qingyun Kingdom and was not worthy of Feng Lingtong.
But at this moment, the unexpected appearance of a person completely disrupted Su Mu's thoughts.
That day, Su Mu got up early and went to the imperial kitchen in person. He instructed the imperial chef to prepare some breakfast for Feng Lingtong and personally selected the ingredients.
After the morning court, estimating that the bird's nest in the imperial kitchen should be almost cooked, he wanted to deliver it to Feng Lingtong himself, fulfilling his desire to see her.
But when Su Mu brought the bird's nest to Feng Lingtong's palace.
He found that Wei Ziyun was also there.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the pavilion, chatting happily. Wei Ziyun had also brought some pastries from the Wei family for Feng Lingtong.
Feng Lingtong was nodding while eating.
Su Mu was in a daze for a moment at this sight.
"Your Majesty, shall we still give the bird's nest to the Holy Maiden?"
Su Mu came back to his senses.
"Of course we should give it."
When they reached the center of the pavilion, Wei Ziyun quickly saluted Su Mu. After getting permission, he sat back in his original position.
Su Mu also sat down at Feng Lingtong's invitation.
"Su Mu, try this. Ziyun brought it. It tastes quite good."
Ziyun? When had the Holy Maiden become so close to Wei Ziyun? She was so affectionate towards him.
Although Su Mu felt uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't show it.
Because he knew that he didn't have the status or the qualification to be jealous.
"Your Majesty, now that Qingyun Kingdom is prosperous and the people are at peace, the Holy Maiden is quite bored in the palace. I haven't had much to do recently. How about I take the Holy Maiden on a tour around the country?"
Su Mu looked at Feng Lingtong.
"Holy Maiden, do you want to travel around the mountains and rivers with Lord Wei?"
Feng Lingtong gave a charming smile.
Then she said, "I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for Ziyun."
Wei Ziyun quickly said excitedly, "It's no trouble at all. If the Holy Maiden can travel with me, it's a blessing I've accumulated over several lifetimes. How could I think it's troublesome?"
"Your Majesty, don't you think so?"
Su Mu felt a bit blocked in his heart.
Normally, Wei Ziyun would talk to him in this tone. They were both in a monarch - subject relationship and friends.
But this time, Su Mu didn't respond with a smile as he used to.
"How would I know about Lord Wei's affairs?"
Both Feng Lingtong and Wei Ziyun were stunned and looked at Su Mu.
Su Mu was a gentle man. He rarely spoke in such a tone.
"Your Majesty, did I say something wrong?"
"No."
"Su Mu, you don't agree with me traveling with Ziyun, do you?"
Su Mu felt that his previous behavior was a bit improper. He calmed down and said, "Holy Maiden, you've misunderstood. I can't be so selfish. You've done enough for Qingyun Kingdom. If you want to go out and see the beautiful scenery, of course I agree."
Feng Lingtong nodded.
Although she was still a bit confused, this polite Su Mu was the one she knew.
"Your Majesty, do you agree?"
"Yes."
Feng Lingtong stood up with a smile. Then she said to the two of them, "You two talk first. I'll go to the back garden to see if the chrysanthemums have bloomed this year. I want to pick some, dry them and take them on the road."
"I'll go with you."
"I'll go with you."
They said in unison.
But Feng Lingtong shook her head.
"I like to be alone."
Su Mu and Wei Ziyun sat down again.
After Feng Lingtong left, Su Mu looked at the untouched bird's nest and was a bit moved.
"Your Majesty, you have feelings for the Holy Maiden. Why don't you say it?"
Su Mu glanced at Wei Ziyun and then said, "Ziyun, you're very brave. You dare to openly invite the Holy Maiden to travel with you. Aren't you afraid that she'll dislike you?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. If I don't try, how will I know what the Holy Maiden likes?"
Su Mu said, "What do you mean by that?"
Wei Ziyun said, "Can't Your Majesty tell that I'm in love with the Holy Maiden?"
"Wei Ziyun, do you know that the Holy Maiden is not of an ordinary status?"
"Of course I know. But if I, Wei Ziyun, fall in love with a woman, I won't care about her status, nor will I care about my own status. I must give it a try. Only in this way will there be a chance of winning."
Wei Ziyun was the most handsome man in Qingyun Kingdom. He had such confidence, which was given to him by thousands of women.
"Ziyun, this time, you may be disappointed. The Holy Maiden's eyes show no sign of emotion when she looks at you."
"Not now, but it may be different in the future."
Su Mu stood up. Hearing Wei Ziyun say that he was in love with Feng Lingtong, he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
"Your Majesty, if you also like the Holy Maiden, then act quickly. I won't let you just because you're the king on this matter."
Su Mu stopped in his tracks.
Wei Ziyun added, "You should understand the saying that love grows with time."
