The empress dowager said, “No! I won’t allow it! I must break this girl! She must be tamed even if I have to break all her bones!”
Granny Lan sighed inwardly.
No one paid much attention to their conversation. All eyes were on “Jun Linyuan” now.
How would he respond to Ranmil’s invitation?
Feng Wu looked at Ranmil and smiled.
The “crown prince” was smiling!
Wasn’t he supposed to be a cold, unapproachable man? Why was “he” smiling at Ranmil now?
The crowd suddenly wasn’t sure what he would say.
Ranmil hadn’t had much hope either, but she found a little now.
Maybe it could actually happen.
But what Feng Wu said next shattered all her hopes.
“I decline.”
She didn’t even address Ranmil when she turned her down.
Great!
Many girls from the Junwu Empire clenched their fists in excitement.
The crown prince belonged to the empire and was going to be the future emperor. Why would he stay in the grasslands to be Ranmil’s husband?
But Ranmil wasn’t very disappointed, because she hadn’t had much hope in the first place.
She smiled and said, “Since Your Royal Highness won’t stay here for me, then…”
All eyes were on her.
She smiled brightly. “Then, will Your Royal Highness take me with you?”
Wow —
Everyone stared at her.
They had heard that Ranmil liked the crown prince and wanted to marry him, but they had never heard someone make such a straightforward request.
Many girls gritted their teeth and glared at Ranmil.
How shameless! How could this woman say such a thing?!
Since everyone believed that Feng Wu was only the crown prince’s maid, the girls could persuade themselves that the crown prince would eventually dump Feng Wu.
But Ranmil was a princess of the grasslands, so the crown prince would have to make her an official member of his household.
Feng Wu stared at Ranmil.
For some unknown reason, she felt suffocated, as if someone was trying to steal what was hers away. She didn’t like it.
The crowd saw that “Jun Linyuan” was deep in thought, and began to speculate.
Did His Royal Highness want to take Ranmil with him?
Did His Royal Highness like Ranmil?
Could it be…
Feng Sang and the others all looked at “Jun Linyuan” nervously.
Although they had all told themselves many times that they had to stop this delusion, they couldn’t help it.
Feng Wu didn’t understand herself either.
“His Royal Highness” was considering it!
Ranmil was thrilled.
“His Royal Highness” was patting his chest…
“He” must be very serious about it!
