These words were very pleasant at first, but as he thought about it carefully, it did sound a bit harsh...
Feng Lianqing looked back at Helian Ying coldly. "You mean to say, Young Lady Helian follows my master every day, and my master has not taught her well?"
Her face turned pale. She bit her lip and lowered her head. "That's not what I meant..."
"Helian Ying, she's your sister. No matter how temperamental she is, you shouldn't call her uneducated in front of me again."
Feng Lianqing did not like Helian Ying before, and he did not hate her. However, now, he felt like he wanted to keep his distance from her and wished never to meet her again.
That was why he ignored Helian Ying, who was behind him, and slowly walked out of the main hall.
Helian Ying clenched her hands tightly; the pain in her heart was a little unbearable.
She had known Brother Feng for so many years. Yet, why had Brother Feng never cared about her feelings?
She was more gentle and kind than Helian Yue, who was so arrogant, wasn't she?
Helian Ying regained her calmness. Feng Lianqing and her rarely spent time together even though they had known each other since childhood, unlike Helian Yue, who could come to General Manor often.
She believed that Brother Feng would like her back as long as they got along with each other for a long time.
Helian Ying no longer thought about it and walked out of the hall.
Only the four members of the imperial family were left.
The empress's face was cold, and she refused to say much, not even wanting to pay attention to the man beside her.
Qi Fang looked somewhat awkward. "Empress, this matter... It was indeed my fault. It seems like you and Young Lady Feng have been very close recently. How about you go to her and say a few nice words for me..."
It was tragic for him to be an emperor of his kingdom but still needed to obey a general.
However, he had no other choices. If Tian Ya were not his general, his kingdom would have been annexed long ago, and his people would have suffered.
Therefore, he had to respect General and endure it for his people!
Qi Fang felt a bit sorry for himself as he thought about it...
The empress remained expressionless. "Yu'er, Qin'er, let's go."
She held their hands and wanted to leave the hall.
Qi Fang was a bit flustered and hurriedly grabbed the empress's arm. "Empress, won't you think about it anymore?"
The empress stopped in her tracks and sneered.
"For what? Do you think I didn't know that Yu'er was compelled by your gentle and kind son to go to the spirit beast mountain alone? My son was framed. Don't you say these things have nothing to do with them, even the one who harmed Qin'er must have something to do with that mother and son...
"But what did you do? Is there any emperor who is as cowardly as you? Yes, you want to protect your people, so you didn't dare to touch Feng Lianyi or seek justice for your son! You would do anything to protect your kingdom!
"Yet you are so incompetent. You are not as strong as the emperors of other kingdoms. Why are you so scared of others? Fortunately, Maiden Feng is General Tian Ya's granddaughter. If General Tian Ya's granddaughter is Feng Lianyi, would you have abandoned us to please Feng Lianyi?"
Obviously... He already knew that it was Feng Lianyi who had framed Yu'er.
However, as the emperor of a kingdom, he could not protect his own son...
He could not even protect his family, so how could he talk about protecting the entire kingdom?
The empress looked frustrated. "You are great as an emperor, but not as my husband. I'm your empress, but we are not a husband and wife; you are just a ruler and I, an officer! And the same goes for Qi Yu..."
