“Since we want this marriage so much, we don’t expect to be official wives, but we’ll definitely be the most senior royal consorts!
“Did you hear me? The most senior ones! You’re not getting that title!”
Sefiro bragged in front of “Feng Wu” and raised her chin. “And you’ll be nothing but a bed-warming maid. Haha, you’ll see!”
After that, Sefiro turned to leave.
Once she and Ranmil were gone —
“Moron.”
The crown prince spoke for the first time.
Feng Wu could read lips.
From her angle, she could see exactly what Sefiro had said.
She felt so embarrassed for the girl.
Oh, dear.
If Sefiro knew that she hadn’t been talking to Feng Wu but the crown prince himself, she would probably be scared to death.
Feng Wu genuinely felt sorry for Sefiro.
“Jun Linyuan, are you listening to me?!”
Feng Wu heard Emperor Wu growl.
The officials were used to the way Emperor Wu and Jun Linyuan interacted with each other, so they weren’t surprised.
“Huh? What?” Feng Wu was so focused on reading Jun Linyuan’s lips that she didn’t hear what Emperor Wu said.
What was more…
Her time to finish the eighth trial was running out, and all she could think about was how to make Jun Linyuan help her do it. She grew anxious.
Emperor Wu asked, “Do you really want to marry her?!”
He was shouting so loudly that it made Feng Wu’s ears ring.
Wait!
Her eyes lit up!
The eighth trial required Jun Linyuan to acknowledge their marriage contract in front of everyone.
And she was Jun Linyuan now.
In that case, if she made the announcement, would that count?
“Jun Linyuan, answer me!” Emperor Wu was going to explode.
Feng Wu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “My marriage contract with Feng Wu was never annulled. Father, did you forget that?”
At those words —
A hush fell over the crowd.
They could hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground because no one dared to breathe.
If they had been surprised by the interaction between Feng Wu and the crown prince, what they just heard could make their hearts stop.
The marriage contract was still in place?
Hadn’t it been canceled?
How could they still be engaged?
But the crown prince had said it himself. It had to be true.
Sefiro and Ranmil had just threatened “Feng Wu,” and they couldn’t believe their ears.
That was impossible!
They screamed in their heads.
All eyes were on Emperor Wu.
They were all waiting for his reply.
Emperor Wu was dumbfounded.
In fact, he didn’t know if the marriage arrangement had been successfully canceled or not, for Jun Linyuan had handled it himself despite his young age.
Afterward, he wouldn’t say a word about it, so Emperor Wu had stopped asking.
He had been convinced that his son would give up on the crippled girl. Why wouldn’t he?
