This man is too decorated but if simplified, this is how I imagine Feng Yangzhi.


King Wan Li pointed to the chaise lounge. Feng Yanyan didn't need telling twice, he sat where he was just a while ago.

Her Highness wordlessly cleaned the splinters one hand at a time and put ointment on them. Then she tossed the hand away as though she was disgusted.

"Go." Wangye raised her head only to see him nodding gratefully at her.

He really wanted to leave but her Highness seemed to have changed her mind.

"Wait in the side room."

It might have been Feng Yanyan's imagination but there seemed to be something twinkling in wangye's eyes.

He went to the side room with dejection written all over his posture. He didn't want to stay near his fourth brother.

Meanwhile, Feng Yangzhi couldn't believe his eyes.

From seeing his cousin come out of Wan Li Wang's study to the remains of what he could only guess to be wangye's table to the King herself treating his fifth brother's wounds.

What in the world happened here? How could her Highness tolerate the Little Fifth?

He wanted to ask but didn't dare.

As soon as Feng Yanyan vanished from their sight, Feng Yangzhi knelt. "My liege, my name is Yangzhi, surnamed Feng. Fourth son of the current generation. This commoner is greeting your Highness on behalf of the Feng family."

From his actions came the deep respect he had of Wan Li Wang.

"Forgive this commoner for the sudden visit. One can only be so careful. The patriarch is unable to personally appear so this commoner is sent in his stead."

Long Xu Le's inky black eyes were incisive. The man's skin was golden from the hours of staying out in the sun. But his hair and eyes that were on the lighter brown side were similar to that weakling in the other room. Unlike Feng Yanyan though, this Feng Yangzhi oozed a manly aura.

His broad chest gave away his military background.

Her highness stilled. How come she could recall Feng Yanyan's features too clearly? But seeing that she had company, she decided to deal with this later.

King Wan Li could understand why this fourth young master Feng was sent instead of any other person. As she recalled the description by Feng Yanyan, the fourth young master was stationed at the northern Su prefecture. Him leaving his post to go to Suliang is the least obvious since the Empress' influence at the borders were lax.

But as for the reason, she had an idea what it was about. 

"The patriarch wishes for wangye to receive this." True enough, Feng Yangzhi respectfully handed a formal letter.

Long Xu Le received the paper and unbound it, not bothering to let the man stand up from his salute.

The letter was brief and concise without superfluous words.

My dear Xuxu,

Forgive the impertinence for sending this one's grandson to your place. This one is left with no choice given the circumstances.

The heavens think our family is your wound. There's no harm in letting them think so.

But that child... he grew up guileless and is painfully unaware. I am as sure as the sun rises in the east that he will stir trouble. I just hope this letter will make it in time.
