Chapter 1526: Unt.i.tled

Jun Wuxia said, “It’s true! I’m telling the truth! I swear it! Father, you can ask my sister if you don’t believe me!”

Emperor Wu stared at the fifth princess.

The younger princess was thrilled when she heard that Jun Wuxia was going to lose her t.i.tle and become a commoner.

However —

She wasn’t happy for too long before she realized something.

With Empress Dugu and Emperor Wu’s favor, Jun Wuxia would never become a commoner. Therefore, the fifth princess still had to play the good girl and take Jun Wuxia’s side.

Therefore —

“Father, Young Lord Feng did give us the fish, but Feng Wu was roasting some fish herself, so we just thought that she had cooked those as well. I didn’t realize that we misunderstood —”

She then bowed at Feng Wu and said gently, “It was all our fault that Miss Feng Wu was falsely accused. Please accept our apology.”

Feng Wu only glanced at her.

Everyone only thought of Jun Wuyu, the fifth princess, as this timid girl, and underestimated her. However…

Feng Wu smiled a little.

Not only was Jun Wuyu very observant, she could also adjust her strategy accordingly. She could adapt to the situation, and was a great actress as well.

With someone like this around her, Jun Wuxia would have a very hard time in the future.

Feng Wu decided that she would leave the enemy to deal with Jun Wuxia and wouldn’t meddle.

“My princess, you flatter me. Don’t worry about it.” Feng Wu smiled.

Emperor Wu stared at Jun Wuxia. “Come over here and apologize to Feng Wu!”

Apologize to Feng Wu?!

Jun Wuxia’s rebellious side instantly flared up!

However, Empress Dugu kept giving her warning glances.

With the current situation, if she still wouldn’t let go of her pride, Emperor Wu would dislike her even more.

But for Jun Wuxia, apologizing to Feng Wu was worse than death!

“Feng Xun did give us the fish, but who gave it to him? Was it really not Feng Wu?” Clenching her fists, Jun Wuxia asked another question.

“Are you an idiot?” Jun Wuyu thought, wanting to smack her sister on the head.

Feng Wu had proven her innocence to everyone with her absolute talent! There was no question of it! Why would Jun Wuxia still try to blame it on Feng Wu? Was she really an idiot now?!

Emperor Wu stared at Feng Xun. “I’m going to give you a chance to explain yourself.”

Jun Linyuan was just about the only one who didn’t feel intimidated by Emperor Wu’s authority.

Feng Xun was no exception. However, he bowed to the emperor and said calmly, “Your Majesty, I ran across those fish and picked them up off the ground.”

Emperor Wu asked, “You picked them up?”

Everyone gave Feng Xun and Jun Wuxia strange looks.

Feng Xun said, “Your Majesty, I was walking past a thick growth of gra.s.s and found the fish just lying there. Since it was very close to the campsite, I was worried that they would smell, so I thought I should throw them further away. But to my surprise —”

He turned around and looked at Jun Wuxia. “The princess held my arm and begged me to give them to her, saying that she wanted to eat them.”

Jun Wuxia was astonished.

Feng Xun looked distressed. “Since the fish had been on the ground, how could I give it to the princess? Naturally, I said no.

“But the princess wouldn’t let go of my arm. She begged and even cried —”

Feng Xun heaved a long sigh. “I really had no other choice, because the princess was just… I couldn’t turn her down.”

The crowd now looked at Jun Wuxia strangely.
