971 Chapter 971 "Yan Fenghuang Investigates"

"Young miss Yan this servant just reported the news about his highness" The maidservant bowed politely to Yan Fenghuang knowing that this girl has a close relationship with the empress. She was the only young lady of the noble that could freely enter the palace. 

Besides the fact that she was his highness' childhood friend, the lady was also favoured a lot by the empress. She had good looks, good personality, good family background, wealthy, and the most talented lady in the capital city. 

The maidservant was smart enough not to disrespect Yan Fenghuang. 

"Tell me what news?" Yan Fenghuang raised her hand to sipped the tea again while asking. Her yellow-coloured sleeves swayed gently being blown by the wind accidentally showing her jade white wrist.

The maidservant couldn't help but secretly sigh to admire Yan Fenghuang beauty. Soft pink hair like a sakura flower, a rare hair colour even for dragons. A pair of golden eyes matching his highness' eyes. Skin as white as the snow jade, thin yet alluring body. 

The way the girl walked was even like an immortal walking on the cloud. Her dress would be blown away by the wind making the skirt flutter somehow only adding immortal-like effect to the young girl. 

No wonder people said that this lady was likely to be the future crown princess, the crown prince's consort. The one who will become the future empress. If only the crown prince didn't bring another girl with him.

The maidservant took a deep breath trying to select her words carefully before she spoke. "This servant heard from the guards that his highness is back. He had just met his majesty and the previous emperor." 

The maidservant didn't mention Li Shi Ying at all. She didn't want the girl to be mad at her. Yet the maidservant clearly underestimates a lady's intuition. Especially someone who was madly in love. 

"Meeting his majesty? For what...is this the only news? Don't try to hide anything from me. I'll know sooner or later so you better speak. It's not like her majesty told you to shut up" 

Yan Fenghuang glared at the maidservant when she heard that Long Ao Zhen met the emperor. She knew just how reluctant Long Ao Zhen was to meet his father yet he suddenly meets both his father and his grandfather today? 

Something is fishy. The maidservant didn't say that Long Ao Zhen was called by the emperor either. She only said that the man met the emperor. 

What's going on really for Long Ao Zhen to met the emperor without being called. 

"...this servant heard that his highness brings a lady with him when he meets his majesty the emperor and the previous emperor" the maidservant bowed again knowing that this lady would for sure be shocked to the point of might harming her. 

This was thanks to the rumour saying that his highness fancied Yan Fenghuang even though he acted cold on the outside. It could be seen from how he tolerated the girl's behaviour. 

She was also the only lady that could visit his highness' residence plus his highness' room in the palace. 

"...what? What did you say? A girl?" Yan Fenghuang really did pause for a bit before she asked again. This time her tone of voice was raised by tenfold and the maidservant flinched out of shock. 

Here we go again…

"Yes. A girl, young miss Yan. This servant really don't know who is the girl but this servant think that...it might have something to do with his highness disappearance to the lower realm" 

The maidservant tried her best to outwit Yan Fenghuang. She had a feeling that the lady was his highness' lover from how intimate they acted according to the guard. But let's just say that the girl was someone his highness' brought from the lower realm for a business. 

"It must be a human girl. Just what for brother Long bring her here" Yan Fenghuang bit her lips trying to guess the girl's identity. She had an ominous feeling about this but what if the girl was just something Long Ao Zhen brought to help the kingdom? 

Long Ao Zhen was often dispatched to do a mission. What if the girl was a part of the mission this time? But what mission? Why the hell it has to be a girl? 

"This servant...don't know anything else, young miss Yan. If young miss could please excuse this servant…" the maidservant bowed again before she immediately ran away. She didn't want to be a victim of this lady's anger. 

"Eh?! Wait-" Yan Fenghuang was shocked seeing the maidservant ran away just like that. Her face turned black thinking that the people here didn't respect her as much as before. 

They must think that she won't be the future crown princess! But who else was qualified other than her? Still...that girl brought from the lower realm…

Yan Fenghuang bit her lips again before she stood up. The girl immediately left the pavilion to ask her people to investigate the matter with the girl. The guards in front of the main hall should know. 

Let's investigate who this human girl is.

"Welcome back your highness!" A group of male servants stood in front of the door leading to the house.
