All the guests in the tower were some kind of influential figures; otherwise, they would never be able to get in.
They didn't care if other people heard their conversation, but they had no idea that the most influential figure in the empire was listening in.
"And the magpies were giving out envelopes that contained vouchers. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"Did you know that there was a top prize?"
"Of course! It's a house with a big courtyard in the imperial capital!"
"Yes, that's the prize. It must be worth a lot! Do you know who got the envelope?"
"Who's the lucky person?"
"Feng Wu!"
"Feng Wu? As in THE Feng Wu?"
"That's her."
"Then she's quite lucky."
"No, she's not! Both she and Miss Qingluan had the True Phoenix Blood five years ago. Now, Miss Qingluan is already the sacred lady of Firmament Palace, but what about Feng Wu?
"She has to fight with the common people for petty gifts!"
Hearing that, everyone laughed.
They had no idea that someone who cared a lot about Feng Wu had heard every word.
The crown prince now had a murderous look in his eyes.
"Your Royal Highness —" Yan Yue was with them. Hearing the conversation, she stepped out and reported in a low voice, "They're the children of some fifth-ranked officials. Their names are…"
The crown prince only glanced at Yan Yue.
Yan Yue knew that those officials were going to be demoted.
She tried to explain on Feng Wu's behalf. "I don't think Miss Feng Wu meant to take that envelope. She doesn't care about such things."
She could tell that the crown prince was a little less furious when she said those words.
She realized what the crown prince wanted to hear.
She went on, "Because when I served tea to Miss Feng Wu, she gave that envelope to me as a tip. Here it is."
Yan Yue then showed the envelope to Jun Linyuan.
She felt a chill run down her spine.
When the crown prince was angry, many people could die.
That was a fact.
Feng Xun snorted. "Those people are abominable! How dare they talk about Xiao Wu behind her back? I'll teach them a lesson!"
Jun Linyuan didn't try to stop him.
Just then, Yan Yue said, "I remember that Miss Feng Wu's birthday is coming up."
Because she knew that her master cared about Feng Wu, she had collected some information on her.
"Is it?" Feng Xun's eyes lit up. "When? And isn't Zuo Qingluan's birthday on New Year's Eve?"
Yan Yue smiled. "Miss Feng Wu's birthday is on that day as well."
"What?!" Feng Xun cried out. "Really? What a coincidence! I didn't know!"
