C349 You still don't believe me?

National Lord Wei tried his best to combine these questions.

He was thinking if he should probe out Zhuo Jun's intentions.

Thinking about this, the National Lord Wei immediately ordered some people to prepare it.

"Fei Yan, why is Shangguan Minghao always coming here recently? Did you sense something? " Zhuo Lei had just returned from meeting with a certain Minister of Rites' Assistant Minister and hadn't even had a sip of water when he asked in concern.

Fei Yan laughed, but did not say a word, and stared at the teacups in a daze.

Seeing Fei Yan's expression, it should not be a problem, "Only recently did I realize that the National Lord Wei had contacted some of the officials in the capital, and wanted to collude with them from the inside!" Zhuo Lei told the news that he had obtained to Fei Yan, wanting to see her reaction.

"Oh, what about now?" Fei Yan raised her eyebrow, and turned to look at her brother, this was how she trusted him.

"If you're smart and those people are willing to go back on your word, then naturally they will get benefits. If we give them more benefits, it would be their fault!" Zhuo Lei laughed and said, the words he spat out were extremely relaxed.

"Brother, you really can do it!" Fei Yan praised.

Zhuo Lei enjoyed hearing Fei Yan's praise. He waved his hands and said, "How can I be as smart as you, my little sister!"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, "You're both smart!"

Guan Ming Hao returned from Fei Yan's place and went straight to Imperial study to review the memorial. However, after calming down for a short while, the empress dowager who had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Your son greets mother!" Although Shangguan Minghao didn't say anything about the previous time, he still remembered the empress dowager's eyes. It was not good for him to see the empress dowager too much for fear of provoking her.

"Stand up!" The empress dowager didn't hold Shangguan Minghao's hand affectionately like before. Her demeanor was extremely similar to when he was young and how the empress dowager treated him in a neither cold nor hot manner.

"I wonder why mother is looking for me?" Although Shangguan Minghao asked this question lightly, he still could not resist.

The empress dowager seemed prepared for this and seemed very calm.

"Could it be that I can't come here to see her child if she has nothing else to do?" The empress dowager looked at the emperor with an air of complete puzzlement.

If it were any other day, the emperor would be furious, but since the empress dowager had suddenly appeared in his Imperial study, something must have happened.

"This son doesn't dare!" Shangguan Minghao hurriedly apologized.

The empress dowager herself had matters to attend to, and had no intentions of making things difficult for the empress dowager. "The I came to find you because he had matters to attend to!" Her Majesty had already softened herself when she said this.

When the emperor saw that the empress dowager had something to say, he was still a bit unhappy. He didn't want the empress dowager to ask him any questions, which similarly disapproved of his ability. To the emperor, this was a humiliation.

"Muhou, aren't you tired?" When Shangguan Minghao said this, his face looked a little terrible.

When the Empress Dowager heard Shangguan Minghao's words, her body trembled, but she stabilized her state of mind, constantly reminding herself that all of this was for the sake of meeting with the Shangguan Family.

"This is something that the I cannot let go of!" Her Majesty's words were very solemn.

Shangguan Minghao saw that the empress dowager was being cautious, and was also surprised. He turned to look at the empress dowager and asked, "What matter does the empress dowager need to be so worried about?!"

The empress dowager let out a low sigh, and slowly told him everything she knew. When she heard this, Shangguan Minghao's entire body went ice-cold.

"That Zhuo Lei, is actually the son of the Old General Zhuo! How could this be? " Shangguan Minghao was still in disbelief.

He turned to look at the empress dowager. "Imperial Mother, how did you get this news?" Shangguan Minghao seemed to still be sensitive to these things, because right now, he was in an extreme situation. If he took one wrong step, he might lose everything.

The empress dowager was startled. How was she supposed to say this? Could it be that she was going to tell him that this was news leaked from the National Lord Wei? But if she didn't tell him, how was she supposed to explain it?

He forced himself to say, "About this …"

"The empress dowager naturally followed the emperor to do this!" A figure flew in and landed in front of Shangguan Minghao, interrupting the empress dowager's words with a harmless expression.

The empress dowager looked at the newcomer. "Who is this?" You actually dare to barge into the Imperial Palace! " The empress dowager had initially been relieved of her predicament, but seeing that it was a woman who was so bold as to come and go as she pleased with the palace.

Fei Yan didn't care about what the empress dowager said, she turned and looked at Shangguan Minghao, "Greetings, your majesty!" But Fei Yan was clearly not as respectful as she sounded.

Shangguan Minghao frowned, and was suspicious, could it be that the guards of the palace were so weak? How did you get in!? "

Fei Yan laughed, looked at Shangguan Minghao, and took out the thing she had obtained from him back then, "Do you recognize this? You gave it to me. " Fei Yan blinked at Shangguan Minghao when she said this.

Shangguan Minghao nodded, "I never thought that you would really know how to use it! "Just now you said that the empress dowager was following us, you can't speak nonsense," Shangguan Minghao intentionally stared at Fei Yan, wanting to find out some clues. After all, Fei Yan's appearance was far too strange.

Fei Yan smirked and looked at the empress dowager, "This humble girl dares to ask the empress dowager, is that true?!" Fei Yan knew the background of the matter, hence she asked.

She predicted that the empress dowager would listen to her words. It was obvious that her initial hesitation was due to her not wanting to speak of National Lord Wei.

As expected, the empress dowager nodded. "Yes! I told someone to follow the Emperor and eavesdrop on the conversation between her and her brother. Her Majesty sighed.

Fei Yan laughed, looked at the emperor, and said, "This humble girl doesn't dare to lie to the emperor!"

Shangguan Minghao then had a new question, "Then, are you the same father as Zhuo Lei?"

Fei Yan was shocked, but she did not expect Shangguan Minghao to ask such a question. It was as if she really wanted to know the truth behind this matter, which made Fei Yan's heart skew, as she smiled at the emperor, "Reporting to your majesty, Zhuo Lei is just a girl that knows a sister!" When Fei Yan said this, she did her best to pay attention to Shangguan Minghao's expression. For some reason, she wanted to see how Shangguan Minghao would react.

It was very strange, when Shangguan Minghao heard that Fei Yan and Zhuo Lei were not siblings, a nameless fire burned in his heart, and then, it slowly burned up, to the point that even the people around could feel it, "You, a woman, is actually so intimate with a 'brother' who is not siblings, what kind of logic is this? Don't you know that your future husband will be angry?"

Fei Yan was shocked. Although she was angry at Shangguan Minghao, she did not expect his reaction to be so extreme.

Shangguan Minghao only realized his impulsiveness when he saw no reaction from Fei Yan. He was also wondering what was going on.

When the two of them were in a daze, they did not notice the sinister look the empress dowager was giving Fei Yan.

"In short, as a woman of the underworld, she should obey the laws of the world, remember?" In order to cover up his embarrassment, Shangguan Minghao scolded him with exceptional severity.

Fei Yan pouted, she seemed to be very calm, but in her heart, she was feeling indescribably comfortable, even to the point of smiling, but her calm heart was on her currently unusually calm and expressionless face.

"This humble girl will remember!" Fei Yan bowed, as if she was a lady from a noble family.

"Cough, cough!" The empress dowager couldn't help but remind the woman in front of her when she saw the two of them flirting.

"Miss, this palace is really free to come and go as you wish …" She didn't know how such a person could enter her son's eyes. No way, this kind of person could not be kept, although she was saved just now, she did not think that the other party was that kind. Last time, her subordinate reported that Fei Yan was saved by a mysterious person, would it be the person in front of her? If she looked too calm, and didn't have any hatred towards him, then where did this person come from? However, as long as it was Zhuo Lei's little sister, she couldn't keep her relationship with him.

"Imperial Mother, you can go back first. We still have matters to discuss with her!" Shangguan Minghao felt that this atmosphere was a little strange. He looked at the empress dowager, then turned to look at Fei Yan and spoke to the empress dowager.

When the empress dowager heard that the emperor was going to let her go, her expression slightly changed, but she didn't want the emperor to lose his prestige, so she looked at Fei Yan and said, "Then I will leave first, but you still haven't finished discussing this matter, you'd better come to I after you're done!" The empress dowager looked at Fei Yan as she said this, she didn't know if it was a warning or something.

Although Fei Yan did not express her opinion of the empress dowager, the truth was that she had never forgotten the empress dowager's repeated provocations. She knew that the things that had happened to her had something to do with the empress dowager, and that there would be a long time in the future.

"Tell me, why is Zhuo Lei helping me?" Once the empress dowager left, Shangguan Minghao grabbed onto one of Fei Yan's hand and asked.

Facing Shangguan Minghao's gaze, Fei Yan did not seem to be at ease at all.

Fei Yan's expression steadied in her heart, and then, she looked at Shangguan Minghao. "I remember the last time I told you this, I'll make you believe in the Zhuo Family, and I won't refuse! "You still don't believe me?" Fei Yan stepped forward and stared straight at Shangguan Minghao.

Shangguan Minghao was also not an ordinary person. Even though he felt a little awkward with Fei Yan's firm words, he was, after all, the emperor, and he was the master.

Fei Yan laughed with too much sarcasm, "I hope so! When that time comes, you will have to give me an explanation regarding the Old General Zhuo! "

As Fei Yan said this, she turned to leave. Shangguan Minghao held onto Fei Yan's hand tightly.

Fei Yan turned her head to look at the hand that was holding onto him, and her gaze landed on Shangguan Minghao's face.

Shangguan Minghao loosened his grip, "We just want to know where Fei Yan is!"

Fei Yan could clearly feel Shangguan Minghao's sadness and anticipation.

Fei Yan lowered her head to hide the indescribable sadness in her heart. She didn't know why this feeling came so suddenly, but another image appeared in her mind.

"What's the matter with you? 'Is there news of her, good or … ' Shangguan Minghao asked anxiously, looking very anxious at the silence in front of him.

At that moment, an impulsive voice kept shouting out in Fei Yan's heart, "Tell him the truth, tell him the truth!" But another voice reminded him so rationally not to be impulsive.

In the end, Fei Yan still had the upper hand with her rationality. She looked up at Shangguan Minghao and said, "We didn't find his, but the only clue we have is that she was once hunted down!"

That was something from her memories, but she still softened her heart and told Shangguan Minghao.

Shangguan Bing lowered her hand and slumped on the chair. "Alright then, I know, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!" As for the matter of the Zhuo Family, the National Lord Wei that I will handle, I will naturally give an explanation! " Shangguan Minghao said this in a very low voice, without any fluctuations in her tone.

Fei Yan did not speak anymore, she turned and quickly escaped from this place, the reason she said she wanted to escape, was because she did not know why she was panicking, or why she was so afraid that she would be seen through.
