Chapter 1467

A lot of people were positioned along the road just to report on Jun Linyuan’s whereabouts.

“There! His Royal Highness has left his residence.”

“His Royal Highness has passed Anding Street!”

“His Royal Highness has crossed Anhe Bridge.”

“His Royal Highness has...”

Soon, the news reached Dingwu Gate.

Meanwhile —

Everyone was silent, and no one made a sound.

Those who were qualified to come were anything but fools, and they all realized how tense the situation was.

“All hail His Royal Highness —”

A high-pitched voice at the gate announced Jun Linyuan’s arrival.

Despite the eunuch’s shrill voice, the others felt very relieved to hear it. They could finally breathe normally again.

Hearing that, the empress dowager rose to her feet and threw a dirty look at Emperor Wu. “I told you that Junjun would be here! Wasn’t I right?”

After that, she headed out.

Empress Dugu’s face turned livid.

Outside —

“Junjun —”

The empress dowager was elated to see Jun Linyuan. She was about to walk up to him with Granny Lan, when —n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She looked up and saw Jun Linyuan holding Feng Wu’s hand.

Immediately, the empress dowager’s face turned livid.

“You —” The empress dowager glared at Feng Wu with cold eyes.

Feng Wu used all her might to throw off Jun Linyuan’s hand.

However, that didn’t appease the empress dowager. The look in her eyes only turned even more fierce!

Taking Jun Linyuan’s hand, she said, “Junjun, you’re finally here. Everyone’s waiting for you. What took you so long?”

Jun Linyuan gave Feng Wu an indifferent glance.

Feng Wu looked at him angrily and wouldn’t let him blame it on her.

“Ahem —”

Jun Linyuan coughed into his fist and asked, “Can we go now?”

“Yes, of course. You lot, help the crown prince to his carriage...”

The empress dowager was used to taking care of Jun Linyuan like this, but it meant much more to the officials.

Feng Wu was about to get into the carriage as well, when the empress dowager shot a warning glance at her.

Feng Wu sighed inwardly.

“Come to my carriage!” The old lady threw a dirty look at Feng Wu and gave the order.

Feng Wu was speechless.

Granny Gong wanted to follow them, but her stomach lurched when she saw the look the empress dowager gave her.

She gave Feng Wu a concerned look before she turned her searching look on Jun Linyuan.

Seeing that Jun Linyuan wouldn’t respond, Granny Gong could only heave a sigh and leave the young people to their own devices.

After a delay of nearly two hours, the procession finally started moving.

In the empress dowager’s carriage.

The old lady sat straight in her seat with a solemn look on her face.

She kept her unblinking gaze on Feng Wu.

Feng Wu lowered her head and stood silently in front of the empress dowager like a pitiful little girl.

The air felt so heavy.

Any other girl would have been frightened to tears by the atmosphere, but not Feng Wu...

She was too strong to be affected. However, she had to look frightened.

“Now you’re nervous?!”

The empress dowager was pleased when she saw how intimidated Feng Wu looked.

“Why was the crown prince late?!” She stared at Feng Wu.
