Chapter 1478

“Plus, it was the chief steward, His Majesty’s most capable servant, who went to fetch Master Feng...”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The mood felt rather heavy.

Master Zuo, Master Dugu, Lord Mu, and many other people were all confused.

They all wanted to know what on earth was happening inside.

In the building —

Feng Yanfeng had only just knelt down, when Emperor Wu raised a leg and kicked Feng Yanfeng in the chest.

Feng Yanfeng felt a stabbing pain in his chest. Before he knew it, he was flying backward.

He flew all the way out of the building.

Wow —

It happened so suddenly that everyone outside was astonished!

“What did Master Feng do to offend His Majesty?”

“Master Feng is the minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel. What unforgivable thing did he do to deserve such humiliation?”

“It seems that we’re going to have a new minister.”

Feng Yanfeng was the most baffled of them all!

It never occurred to him that His Majesty would be so angry and so merciless.

The moment Feng Yanfeng flew out of the building, Lady Wang ran over to his side, held his thigh, and burst into tears.

“Master, are you alright? Master, what happened? Master —”

Feng Yanfeng didn’t lose control. He brushed Lady Wang’s hand off and scrambled to his feet. He then walked up to Emperor Wu and knelt down. “Your Majesty, I don’t know what I did to deserve that punishment, but I hold no resentment. But Your Majesty, could you maybe tell me what I did wrong?”

“Hmph!”

Emperor Wu stood there with an expressionless face, his eyes as cold as ice.

“A member of your clan made a mistake, and as the head of the clan, you have to take the fall! I’m removing you from your office, starting from today. Do you have a problem with that?”

Emperor Wu didn’t say the exact words, but he dropped enough hints.

Feng Yanfeng got it after his initial shock, and asked, “Is it because of... Feng Wu?”

Emperor Wu didn’t answer that question and only waved his hands. “Get out!”

Once he had taken care of Feng Yanfeng, Emperor Wu crossed his hands behind his back and walked back inside.

But —

He might have left, but the impact was enough to make everyone wonder.

“Feng Wu! It’s all because of her!” Lady Wang finally realized what had happened and started yelling at Feng Yanfeng. “Master, did you just get dismissed because of Feng Wu?!”

Feng Yanfeng was still processing what had happened.

He had just lost his job, and it was because of... Feng Wu?

At that moment, Feng Yanfeng felt like throttling Feng Wu.

“Damn her! Damn that girl!” Feng Yanfeng almost passed out from rage.

People of the Zuo and Dugu families exchanged looks and revelled in his predicament.

“Sister, that’s so hilarious, hahaha —” Mrs Zuo held Mrs Dugu’s hand and laughed wholeheartedly. “Luck really is on our side. I didn’t expect Feng Yanfeng to be kicked out so easily.”

Mrs Dugu nodded.

“But why?” Mrs Zuo was confused. “What did Feng Yanfeng do to upset His Majesty so much? Or rather, what did Feng Wu do?”

Because of her relationship with the empress, Mrs Dugu had more information.

“I’ll tell only you.” Mrs Dugu told Mrs Zuo, “I heard that Feng Wu could have treated Her Majesty when she got sick, but Feng Wu went off to enjoy herself and abandoned Her Majesty.”
