Blood, blood, blood …

Lian Ru Yue suddenly squatted down, her fingers trembling as she touched the bloodstain. Was this Lian Fu's blood? Her vision turned black, and she staggered two steps back. Her cold brows hurriedly supported her, and she said in a low voice, "Eldest Miss."

Lian Ru Yue bit her lower lip to try her best to calm down. She asked Wang Ren, "What else do you see and hear? Tell me, quickly!"

"I-I was too scared at the time, I only saw that young master was captured by the man in black and I retreated back into the cave, not daring to look anymore. But I heard a man in black say, 'No, you can't let him live, you have to kill him.' Wang Ren tremblingly said.

What...

Lian Ruyue felt as if her heart was cut into a thousand pieces; she almost couldn't breathe. She tightly clenched her fists and suddenly appeared incomparably calm as she said —

"If he's alive, we have to see him. If he's dead, we have to see his corpse. Even if the young master has been killed, we have to find his corpse and bury him!"

At this moment, her voice no longer sounded sad. Instead, it sounded very calm and even — indifferent.

"Besides, if we can't find him, he's not dead yet!"

"The young miss is right, we will continue to search for clues. Moreover, the young master is lucky to be alive, so he will definitely be safe." Lian Tian said on the side.

What kind of person would want the life of the [Consecutive Spell]?

"Eldest Miss, look! There's blood here too!" Suddenly, a guard a few meters away shouted.

Lian Lu Yue quickly walked over and squatted on the ground. She dipped her finger in the blood and put it near her nose. Her cold eyes flashed as if she thought of something. She quickly walked two to three meters forward along the road.

Suddenly, she smelled a hint of blood. Her voice sank as she said in a tight voice:

"Eldest Miss, there's blood here as well …"

Another one?

Lian Ru Yue hastily ran over and looked toward the direction where Leng Mei was looking. Indeed, there was also a drop of blood on the leaf. Other than the puddle of blood on the ground, there were only a drop of blood on the other two places.

"Let's keep going forward!" Lian Ruyue asked in a deep voice. "Is the art not dead yet?" Did he leave a mark on purpose? Or was he dead and they dragged his body away and it fell off?

"There's something here too …" After walking forward for a while, he realized that there was another drop of blood on the leaf. "Go forward and search, maybe you can find the young master!" he said excitedly.

"Let's go!" Lian Ruyue stood up and led the group into the depths of the forest.

Consecutive Formula, wait for me! Wait for me!

The True Sun Sect.

Feng Yunzheng rode high atop the horse. Raising his head to look at the imposing three words in front of him, his handsome and picturesque face revealed a trace of a smile.

He heaved a sigh of relief. After thirteen days of unending journey, he had finally returned to the capital!

He had been gone for almost two months. At this moment, he couldn't wait to see that person.

"Night Wind …" "To the Residence of Prime Minister …"

"Ninth Prince!" However, at this time, a shrill voice rang out. With a glance, it was actually his mufei, Senior Concubine Liang's eunuch, Feng Guihai.

"Eunuch Feng." He jumped off the horse and said.

"Your Highness, you've finally returned. Your servant has been waiting here for two days. When Imperial Concubine learned that Your Highness was returning to the capital in the next two days, she ordered your servant to wait at the gate. She said that if Your Highness returned to the capital, she would immediately meet her at the palace." Feng Guihai said.

There must be something important for mufei to be in such a rush to see him. He raised his head to look at the sun in the sky and said, "Yefeng, let's enter the palace."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Within Lin Hua Palace.

Imperial Concubine Liang wore a luxurious shoulder-length, round-collared python robe, a deep crimson dress, and a crown of emerald gold. At this moment, she was drawing a letter at the front of the table while the palace maids grinded ink on one side. The pen tip danced across the white paper like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the interior of the hall emitted a faint scent of calligraphy.

"Empress, the hall is coming down!" At this time, the palace maid, Jade Lamp, walked in and said.

When Imperial Concubine Liang heard this, she was overjoyed. She immediately put down her brush and ink and raised her head to see that Feng Yunzheng had already walked in. He knelt on the ground and said, "Mufei, your son has returned."

"Zheng'er, hurry and get up." Imperial Concubine Liang stooped down to help Feng Yunzheng up. She pulled him to sit on the rosewood chair, then carefully sized him up and said:

"You're thinner."

Feng Yunzheng laughed and said, "There is such a person in this world; even if this child's weight was a couple, she would be able to see it."

Imperial Concubine Liang was amused by him as well. She asked, "Is everything going smoothly in the south?"

"Mufei, don't worry. Everything is fine. I've just reported my duty to royal father." Feng Yunzheng carefully answered Mufei's every question. Finally, he asked, "Is mufei doing well in the palace these past few days?"

Imperial Concubine Liang said, "There has never been a lack of people who come to pay their respects every day. They've also given quite a few gifts." Not only had she been released from the cold palace, she had even been promoted to imperial concubine. Just below the empress alone, the people from the harem would usually see the wind and use it to their advantage. Naturally, there would be many people here to curry favor with her.

"Thank you, mufei." Although he was a concubine of the imperial harem, he still had some insightful insight into everything. Even if he relied on his characteristics to obtain the favor of the royal father, then being pushed all the way to the highest position, he would presumably still find it difficult to adapt in the beginning.

"It's better to have the Empress's guidance." Imperial Concubine Liang said.

When Feng Yunzheng heard this, the look in his eyes became a bit more serious. Finally, he asked in a deep voice, "Mufei, are you anxious for this son to enter the palace because of something important?"

Imperial Concubine Liang looked around and motioned for the people on her left and right to leave first. Only until they were the only ones left in the hall did she say —

"The empress is searching for an imperial concubine for you again, and she's even showing it to mufei. mufei only said that I can't be the host until you come back, and you also know that even though I'm the imperial concubine, she's still the empress. All these years, you've been diligently and diligently working for the crown prince, and we already have countless ties with him.

Mother was worried that if you didn't know what was going to happen, you wouldn't know how to deal with it. If you were forced to agree to it, your hands and feet would be tied.

That's why Feng Guihai was secretly sent to stand guard outside the gates of the True Sun Sect day after day, to steal before the empress comes looking for you. I'll let you come here first, to let you know that you have to be careful left and right, and have already rejected the empress several times. The person this time is Liang Runan, the direct daughter of the duke of Liang.

When Feng Yunzheng heard this, his face revealed a faint expression. "The empress still hasn't given up. I've always wanted to restore the crown prince to the throne. Now you want me to pave the way for the crown prince."

In his previous life, he had allied with the crown prince, and in consideration of his brotherhood, he wholeheartedly planned for the crown prince. However, the empress didn't seem to have that kind of relationship, and even when he was trapped in prison, she didn't help him. In the end, she even publicly expressed her support for Feng Qianyue, turning him into the empress dowager, and continued to receive respect from tens of thousands of people. Yet he died a violent death.

And after his rebirth, he had decided not to work for them anymore.

"Zheng'er, do you want to be the emperor?" Suddenly, Imperial Concubine Liang asked.

Feng Yunzheng's expression became solemn. He said, "Mufei, this child does not have any obsession with power, but if you want to use power to protect the people you care about, then this son will take it into his own hands."
