"Father, I have never done anything earth-shattering in my life, and I don't ask for much attention from my father. I don't care about the throne, power, or money. But when I meet someone I like, I don't care.

Then go and fight for it!”

Fu Hengzhi's eyes were sincere and firm.

When the emperor heard what he said, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Fu Heng's mother and concubine died young, and he was killed and his legs were broken.

It's not that the emperor didn't care about him, he just felt that if he didn't care about him, he would be safer.

The emperor only had suspicions about what happened back then and had no evidence.

He didn't want to see his sons killing each other.

The emperor sat down in defeat and looked at Fu Hengzhi deeply.

The chief eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the regent and Miss Lu have arrived and are waiting at the door!"

"Let them in."

"yes."

The chief eunuch opened the door, led the two of them into the royal study, then stepped back and closed the door.

"Nanxiao, how you want to solve this matter depends on what you want."

The emperor naturally wanted to favor his son, so he handed it over directly to Fu Nanxiao.

"My brother already understands this matter." Fu Nanxiao nodded: "The fifth prince connived at his own princess to drug Sheng'er, and the seventh prince wanted to take advantage of it. The crime is not small."

Fu Peifeng raised his head with an unconvinced look on his face: "Uncle Emperor! I was framed. Fu Hengzhi deliberately dug a hole for me to jump into!"

"Shut up!" Fu Nanxiao shouted angrily: "You still want to make excuses!"

Fu Peifeng gritted his teeth and closed his mouth angrily.

Fu Hengzhi's eyes fell on Lu Yunsheng's face, his lips tugged lightly, and he said nothing.

"I feel that both princes need training, so I will temporarily remove them from their status as princes and demote them to common people!"

Fu Nanxiao waved his hand and gave the order lightly.

Fu Peifeng was immediately dumbfounded.

The emperor glanced at Fu Nanxiao and immediately understood the meaning of his words.

Both of them have good abilities, but one is arrogant and can't see others in his eyes, and the other's mind is not right.

It is also good to exercise as a commoner.

"Just do it!"

The emperor waved his hand and held his head. He had a headache.

"Father! Do you want my son to die?" Fu Peifeng was emotional, with deep resentment and unwillingness in his eyes: "Even if my son made a mistake, he will not be punished like this!"

His fists clenched loudly, and he wished he could rush forward and punch Fu Nanxiao now.

"You have done something wrong and you still don't know how to repent!" The emperor felt a dull pain in his heart.

Fu Peifeng was the prince he had watched growing up, and he was the prince he valued most. He even made him the prince early.

But now...it has become like this.

The emperor was regretful and angry.

On the other hand, Fu Hengzhi, although he didn't think he was wrong, was not as radical as Fu Peifeng.

"Father!" Fu Peifeng still wanted to defend himself, but the emperor looked impatient and waved his hand to have him taken out.

Following waves of roars, Fu Peifeng was dragged out.

The emperor turned to look at Fu Hengzhi.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Fu Hengzhi kowtowed heavily: "My son, I have nothing to say. I will obey the orders of my father and uncle."

After saying that, he stood up and looked at Lu Yunsheng slowly, with millions of emotions surging in his eyes.

"I would like to have a few words with the third lady alone, is it okay?"

Fu Nanxiao took a step forward, blocking Fu Hengzhi's sight, with a cold expression.

"What do you want to do?"

"Fu Nanxiao." Lu Yunsheng stepped forward and shook his head towards Fu Nanxiao.

"Sheng'er, are you really still willing to believe him?"

"Well, he won't. Besides, you won't be too far away from me."

Lu Yunsheng smiled sweetly.

Fu Nanxiao compromised.

"Go out and talk."

He took Lu Yunsheng's hand and left the imperial study room.

Staring at the hands held by the two of them, Fu Hengzhi's eyes were as dark as ink. He slowly clenched his fingers and followed out.

Outside the Imperial Study Room, Fu Nanxiao glanced at Fu Hengzhi with threatening eyes, and then walked a few steps away.

Lu Yunsheng kept a step away from him.

The voice was as cold as ice: "What do you want to say?"

"Actually, I prepared the antidote yesterday, and I didn't want to do anything to you."

"Yeah." Lu Yunsheng's attitude was very indifferent.

"You...are not angry?"

"You and I originally got to know each other by using each other. Then, the relationship between us was just that of a doctor and a patient. It was nothing. Why should I care about this? I won't be angry or sad."

From her expression, Fu Hengzhi could not see any emotional fluctuations, and there was not even a trace of emotion in her cold voice.

Fu Hengzhi suddenly felt a little clogged in his heart.

"It turns out that in your heart, I'm not even a friend."

Fu Hengzhi narrowed his eyes in despair.

"Friends?" Lu Yunsheng crossed his arms and said, "A friend I consider will never use my life to seduce an enemy! Even if you didn't want to hurt me in the end,... this is definitely not something a friend can do."

"I..." Fu Hengzhi stopped talking.

"You don't have to say anything. I believe you didn't want to hurt me. That's enough. This is the last decency between us, isn't it?"

The last bit of decency...

It was obviously an ordinary word, but it was like a knife, piercing into Fu Hengzhi's heart.

"Do you really not like me at all?"

"No."

"There was a fire in the dining room that day...and you didn't either?"

Fu Hengzhi still has a glimmer of hope.

He didn't believe it.

Lu Yunsheng shook his head: "That day, I learned that you were injured trying to save others. I just admired you, not liked you."

"It turns out...it's my own fault."

He originally thought that Lu Yunsheng at least had some feelings for him, even just a little bit.

But today he saw her and Fu Nanxiao's eyes looking at each other. The eyes were full of affection, which could not be acted out, and it was something he had never seen before.

It turned out that they had already had a good understanding.

"Fu Hengzhi, as a common citizen, this may be a good thing for you."

Lu Yunsheng turned around, leaving only these words.

Then, Fu Hengzhi watched her fall into Fu Nanxiao's arms. The two were very intimate, and Fu Nanxiao's eyebrows had never been so soft.

After leaving the palace, Fu Hengzhi was in a very low mood.

At the palace gate, Fu Peifeng was still yelling.

Seeing Fu Hengzhi coming out, he stepped forward and grabbed Fu Hengzhi by the collar, with an angry look on his face: "Fu Hengzhi, it's all your fault!"

"I don't understand what you said."

"Stop pretending to me! We are all common people now, and I want to see how far you can go. You'd better hope not to fall into my hands, otherwise, I will torture you every day."

Fu Hengzhi opened his hand.

"Are you so confident?"

"Do you think I am you? Before this, I have made complete preparations. Even if I am a commoner now, I can still find a way to stand up. But you, on the other hand, can only remain an inferior commoner forever!"

Fu Hengzhi looked at him coldly and said nothing.
