The palace maid laughed, "Very good, if you can find out the whereabouts of the Phoenix Seal, you will be able to obtain the benefits."

The eunuch asked, "It's a celebration. Why did master look for the Phoenix Seal to tie up esteemed wangfei?"

So that palace maid was the empress dowager's partner to celebrate. She said, "Didn't esteemed imperial concubine say she'd given the Phoenix Seal away? It was impossible for such a precious object to be gifted to a servant, so the most likely target would be esteemed wangfei. One day, I saw esteemed wangfei coming out of Moonlight Palace with a large bag in her hands. Perhaps the Phoenix Seal is inside. "

The eunuch continued to ask, "Then why don't you let Master take a look at Yi Xin Palace? Why do you have to go through so much trouble? If something were to happen to you or me at this critical juncture, we won't even be able to keep our heads together! "

Qing Xi said, "Mistress has already gone there and asked, but esteemed wangfei won't admit it. Mistress has no other choice, she wants the Phoenix Seal more than anyone else. Enough, stop bullshitting. Hurry up and go. It wouldn't be good if someone saw you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of footsteps could be heard. It seemed like they were going to come out soon. Leng Qiyue was startled; if they had come out, they would have definitely discovered her. As soon as the celebration was over, the two of them bumped into each other.

Leng Qiyue cursed, "Which blind servant dares to hit me? Do you want to die?"

When Qing Xi saw Leng Qiyue, he hurriedly pulled the eunuch behind him to kneel and say, "This servant deserves to die, please forgive me."

Leng Qiyue glanced at her and said in surprise, "Ah, it's a celebration. Alright, don't be so boisterous in the future. I'm in a hurry to find Concubine Rong and ask her where she is. The people from Yixin Palace say that she went to the Jade Magnolia Temple early in the morning."

Qing Xi calmly said, "This servant greets esteemed wangfei this morning. She really did go to the Jade Magnolia Temple."

"Alright, got it. You can go back." After she finished speaking, Leng Qiyue walked quickly towards Bi Rong Palace.

Seeing that she had left, Qing Xin heaved a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death."

The eunuch asked doubtfully, "Greetings, do you think that esteemed imperial concubine might have heard us speak?"

Qing Xi shook her head and said, "It won't happen. She left in such a hurry. She probably just arrived. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bumped into me." "I didn't think that she'd actually go to find Consort Rongrong and ask her where she was. Now there's going to be a show to watch."

"Greeting, I'm still not at ease. What kind of excitement would it be if esteemed imperial concubine went to find esteemed wangfei?"

Qing Xi sneered, "Only Imperial Concubine Rong knows about this morning, but would Imperial Concubine believe me? As long as our master insists that there's no such thing, then Imperial Concubine's spearhead will be pointed at Rong Fei.

The eunuch said in an enlightened manner, "Greetings, you're really smart. Alright, let's not talk any longer. I'm leaving."

"Mm, let's go. Fortunately, the imperial concubine doesn't recognize you. In the future, don't appear too often in front of her." Qing Xi instructed.

The eunuch nodded his head and hurriedly left, and Qing Xin headed towards the Palace of Virtue as well.

Leng Qiyue was a kung fu practitioner, so she stopped once she reached the corner. She focused her attention to eavesdrop, overhearing every single word of the conversation between Qing Xi and the eunuch. Thus, she suspected even more that the empress dowager had taken Xifei away.

Han Liu asked, "Empress, what happened?"

As Leng Qiyue walked, she said, "Princess Changle said that she met Imperial Concubine when she was entering the palace. I suspect that Imperial Concubine was kidnapped by someone. Otherwise, at this critical juncture, it would be impossible for her to leave the palace."

Han Liu nodded. "That's right, it's a big matter for the Little Princess to enter the palace. Her maids are all there to attend the banquet, so they won't leave even if there's something urgent." Qing Xi is one of the empress dowager's men. Do you suspect the empress dowager? "

Leng Qiyue said, "That's right. She is the person who wishes to obtain the Phoenix Seal the most, and she is also her personal servant girl. If it isn't her, who else could it be?"

While they were talking, the two of them arrived in front of the door of the palace. The gatekeeping eunuch of Blue Lotus Palace welcomed her. "Your servant pays his respects to the imperial concubine."

Leng Qiyue asked, "Escort? Is little sister Rong Fei here?"

The eunuch replied, "To reply esteemed imperial concubine, Esteemed Empress Rong is admiring the flowers in the lotus pond."

"Bring me there." As a imperial concubine, Leng Qiyue did not need to report to a lowly concubine. She could just barge in directly.

The eunuch bowed and said, "This servant obeys." With that, he led the way.

The Blue Lotus Palace was named after this lotus pond. It was full of jade leaves all year round, and it was refreshing and pleasant.

Rong Fei stood by the side of the pool and stared blankly at the green leaf in the pool. Her face was filled with worry, but no one knew what she was thinking about.

She did not even realize that when Leng Qiyue walked over, it was the palace maid beside her who pulled on her sleeve to call back her consciousness.

"Elder sister? Ah, chenqie pays her respects to the imperial concubine. " She had almost forgotten etiquette.

Leng Qiyue helped her up and asked, "Did you call Immortal Concubine over this morning?"

Esteemed Empress Dowager Rong nodded. "That's right. We're rehearsing right now, and Lin Fei came to take her away. She said it was esteemed empress dowager's summons."

Leng Qiyue gritted her teeth. It really was the empress dowager.

Rong Fei continued, "Big sister isn't worried that the little princess will cause trouble by entering the palace?"

Leng Qiyue was startled and asked, "What trouble?"

Rong Fei said, "When the princess enters the palace, the emperor will appoint an imperial concubine as her teacher. Elder sister is an imperial concubine, so I'm afraid this job will fall to elder sister."

Leng Qiyue laughed, "And I thought it was something strange? It's fine, isn't she just a teacher? "What's there to worry about?"

Rong Fei frowned and said, "I won't hide it from big sister. Although big sister is the oldest concubine in the palace, little sister is in charge of the phoenix talisman, so little sister might also be the teacher candidate to teach the little princess."

Leng Qiyue did not understand, what was there to worry about when a teacher of a princess was acting like this? It was not like she was going to throw her life away.

Rong Fei sighed, then continued, "I heard that Princess Changle stirred up some trouble when she entered the palace. She looks like an unruly little girl, little sister doesn't want to be punished with her!"

Only now did Leng Qiyue understand, it was because Rong Fei was afraid that the little princess would be implicated in this disaster. Currently, she did not care about who became the teacher. What she cared about the most was where the wife went.

"Little sister, I've met the little princess. She's a very obedient child, don't worry about her." "The little princess said that when she entered the palace, she saw that she was being chased out of the palace. Did you have anything to say about that?"

Imperial Concubine Rong thought for a moment before saying, "No, she's been practicing the zither all this time, and I'm also practicing dancing. Concubine Lin said that Esteemed Empress Dowager summoned her and took her away."

An uneasy feeling lingered in Leng Qiyue's heart. She had no mood to even attend the banquet, but as the imperial concubine she had no choice but to attend. She didn't want the empress dowager to find out anything and make a mistake.

It seemed like she wouldn't be able to find anything from Rong Fei. She couldn't leave the palace now, so she could only place her hopes on Yan Su. Leng Qiyue stayed at the Jade Magnolia Temple for a while before returning to the Moon Flower Hall to change, preparing to attend the banquet. Things had already happened, it was useless worrying about it. It was better to take things one step at a time.
