Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Breaking Your Bones Little by Little

Feng Qing naturally saw it too, immediately gloating as she looked at Rong Ling on one side. She knew this master had no such feelings for the Empress at all, she could confirm it was purely the Empress imagining the scenario.

Yet seeing this man suffer made her happy.

Rong Ling on one side clearly felt her happiness, turned his head coldly to look at her. Feng Qing saw his meaningful gaze, her heart suddenly filled with unease, had she gloated too much?

As soon as the thought passed, the man beside her suddenly leaned closer, speaking with chill.

"Didn’t you previously say the Feng Family suggested the Little Emperor poison me to eliminate me? I’ll give you ten days. If within ten days no one attempts to poison me, it proves you’re deceiving me—then I’ll break the bones in your body piece by piece."

The fragrant breath, yet it carried a chilling and oppressive animosity. Feng Qing’s complexion instantly turned pale.

The thought of having her bones broken bit by bit chilled her all over, her limbs turned cold. This man would definitely do what he said.

If he discovered she deceived him, Feng Qing dared not imagine further. She shuddered coldly, with the Little Emperor’s intentions, sending someone to poison the Emperor couldn’t happen so quickly, so was she doomed?

Rong Ling had already slowly risen beside her, elegantly arranging his robe, turning to walk outside.

Si Qi hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Feng Qing stand, it took two attempts to lift her.

Si Qi looked at Feng Qing with a puzzled face, what’s wrong with the Princess Consort? Her complexion looks so bad, what did the Prince tell her?

Inside the hall behind them, the crowd saw the members of the Imperial Family leave, and immediately started whispering and discussing.

Some even stepped in front of Marquis Jing’an Feng Lei Ting, clasping fists to congratulate him.

"Congratulations to Marquis for gaining another fine wife, haha."

"Yes, at the age of thirty, Marquis gains a young wife in her twenties, surely you must cherish her well in the future."

Thinking that the young lady from Marquis Jing’an Mansion actually entered the palace as an Empress, the court ministers felt like mocking Feng Lei Ting, as they said, the act of switching brides might not have been the idea of the Lin Family, perhaps it was the Marquis Feng Lei Ting’s intention.

Hmph, having seized the position of Empress, if they didn’t mock him, who would they mock?

Honestly, given the Feng Family’s current status, if it wasn’t for the late Emperor losing a bet with the National Academy Sacrificial Officer, how could it possibly be the Feng Family becoming the Empress?

On another side, someone else went over to the Gu Family to extend congratulations, regardless of everything, the Gu Family’s daughter would become the Madam of Marquis Jing’an Mansion, her daughter as Madam was unlike the Lin Family.

The Lin Family was the concubine elevated as a wife and found it difficult to request even an honorable title, but Miss Gu was different, she was appointed by the Empress Dowager, afterward the Empress Dowager would surely grant her an honorable title, if nothing else, she would be a third-rank Lady.

So they should get along well with the Gu Family, for the moment several madams surrounded the Gu Family extending congratulations.

"Congratulations to Mrs. Gu."

"Congratulations to Miss Gu."

Mrs. Gu’s face was full of helplessness, she didn’t feel the marriage was good at all; it was clear the Marquis didn’t fancy her daughter, having raised her daughter only to be looked down upon by others, as a mother, she felt angry inside, especially as the man was of similar age to her.

Mrs. Gu’s expression worsened, thus a marriage others saw as good, she found utterly worthless, instead, Gu Zhenzhu beside comforted her own mother.
