Chapter 1085: Chapter 885: Sowing Discord

The pomegranate tree was planted outside of the garden; it shouldn’t have belonged to anyone privately, so Nan Feng thought it was okay to pick some tender leaves. She figured that if Xiaobao drank water steeped with these leaves, he should recover quickly, as this was the remedy villagers in Daping used to stop diarrhea.

After picking the lower leaves, Nan Feng wanted to gather some from the top of the tree, but as it was somewhat tall, she needed to climb or use light-footed techniques to reach them.

She was about to climb the tree when suddenly a voice came from behind her, "Let me help you."

Turning around, Nan Feng saw a tall and skinny man standing beside her. Because of his height, he easily reached for the leaves at the tip of the tree.

The man quickly gathered a handful and handed them to Nan Feng, "Here you go."

"Thank you, and you are?" asked Nan Feng.

The stranger smiled, "Meeting is destiny, we are bound by fate."

Nan Feng thought he must be some unruly royal family member and just smiled, "If you won’t say, then I won’t pry. I should go."

Walking back with the wet nurse, Nan Feng quietly asked, "Who is he?"

The wet nurse whispered back, "Lady, he is the third prince, the son of the Empress."

So, he was quite an important person.

Nan Feng looked back. To her surprise, the third prince had followed and walked beside her, "Lady, you seem unfamiliar. May I know who you are?"

Nan Feng mimicked his earlier words, "Didn’t you just say, ’people of destiny’?"

"Since we are fated, may I know your name?"

Nan Feng chuckled, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t recognize it, better to leave it unsaid."

In the Palace, there were probably very few who knew Nan Feng’s name, but everyone knew the title ’Crown Princess Consort’.

To her surprise, the third prince blurted out, "Let me guess, are you not the Crown Princess Consort?"

Since he had found out, Nan Feng didn’t bother to conceal it anymore, "Third Prince, you have good eyes."

"Ah, so it turns out we are already acquainted! By the way, I heard that the Crown Prince isn’t in the Palace, that he left with the Emperor?"

Not knowing if his intentions were good or bad, Nan Feng definitely wouldn’t divulge the truth, "He is indeed not in the Palace, as for where he has gone, I have no idea."

"You are quite wary. Are you afraid I might harm them?" the third prince asked with a smile.

"You’re right, Your Highness," Nan Feng replied coolly, and she didn’t stop walking, eager to get back to the Palace to give Xiaobao the leaves.

However, the third prince wouldn’t let it go and continued, blocking Nan Feng’s way again, "I’ve heard that you are the woman who caused conflict between two countries. Now that Dashun has been destroyed, you’re aware of this, right?"

Nan Feng no longer had any favorable opinion of the third prince, "I am aware."

"Do you know how people in the Palace are judging you?"

"Third Prince, I have no interest in that matter, you needn’t tell me," Nan Feng said coldly.

The third prince chuckled, "You’re a smart person, you can probably guess, right? Everyone is saying you are a femme fatale. Oh, and there might be something you don’t yet know—the King is placing great hopes on the Crown Prince. It is possible that he might depose the current heir in favor of another, but being the Crown Princess Consort is not a position just anyone can hold. She needs to have a strong familial background, to have influential power, and her family must be capable of supporting the Crown Prince. The current Crown Princess Consort is said to be the daughter of a high official from Dajin—quite a significant background, isn’t it?"

Nan Feng looked coldly at the third prince, "So, are you trying to sow discord, Your Highness?"
