Lin Hua Palace.
Feng Yunzheng's cold gaze looked at the person kneeling on the ground.
She knew that her trail had been exposed, and that it would be hard for her to escape today. She raised her head to look at the leaking pot in the hall, and the most important thing was to stall for time for the 4th Prince.
"Night wind." Feng Yunzheng said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" With a cold expression, Ye Feng walked in front of Fang Yingyu and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her throat.
"Ugh …" Suddenly, Fangyu felt as if her throat was about to break. The pain was so painful that she almost suffocated, but she didn't confess. Her eyes bulged wide as she looked at Ninth Prince.
"Stop." Feng Yunzheng raised his hand to signal.
"Cough cough, cough cough …" Yingyu's hand covered her throat as she forcefully coughed. She was in so much pain that she began to shed tears.
"Looks like This King has made a mistake. You are innocent. Let's go." Upon hearing this, Fangyu suddenly raised her head, and her mouth let out a hoarse voice with difficulty —
"Your … Your Highness …"
"Serve This King's mufei well."
"Yes, yes, this servant will obey!" Fang Yu quickly kowtowed, using her action of lowering her head to conceal the joy in her heart.
She hurriedly stood up and walked out. Feng Yunzheng gave Ye Feng a look, and Ye Feng understood, so he immediately and noiselessly followed.
As Fangyu walked into the courtyard, her footsteps paused for a moment before she hurried towards the Extreme Huang Palace. However, just as she stepped through the gates, she felt a jolt at the back of her head, and her vision went black as she fainted —
Looking at the man lying on the ground, Ye Feng coldly said, "An idiot is fit to fight with His Royal Highness!"
Feng Yunzheng walked out of the side hall and walked towards the spot where Fang Yingyu had been standing a moment ago. His gaze fell on the black locust, and a flash of contemplation passed through his eyes. Step by step, he walked over —
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. He could hear people clamoring outside, and he also heard the panicked voices of palace maids and mama —
"The emperor has given the order to search every hall. Those who are not involved, come out at once!"
As he bent down, he heard a sudden sound. The door to the first palace of the Lin Hua Palace had been opened!
The head of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Keji, and Chief Eunuch Feng Degui led the Imperial Guards and eunuchs into each and every palace to conduct a search.
In the Royal Palace, the air seemed to have frozen, silent and unmoving.
He could only hear the panicked voices of the palace maids outside, mixed with the berating voices of the imperial guards and eunuchs. When this voice reached the interior of the palace hall …
Each of the concubines had their own thoughts as their expressions varied. Some of their faces were already somewhat pale.
Feng Yang leaned into Lian Shufei's arms, and she held her tightly.
Beside the emperor, Empress Dian Wen secretly clenched her fists inside her sleeves. Her palms felt hot as she looked outside, and it seemed as if the night air was a little cold. Although she tried her best to hide it, her eyes revealed a faint layer of worry —
Her gaze landed on the imperial concubine. Although she was the imperial concubine, her clothes were still simple and elegant, and her temperament was like an orchid.
Imperial Concubine Liang, since your son is no longer willing to be used by me, then I'll completely destroy all of you! Don't blame me for being ruthless. In this deep palace, no one is allowed to destroy themselves! Besides, only tomorrow, I have the right to be the crown prince!
And this time, the alliance that she had found, their meticulous plan, she believed that there was no mistake!
Several days ago —
Changchun Palace.
The empress looked at the person kneeling in front of her and said, "You're being considerate. For the tea flowers to grow so resplendent at this time, you must have put in a lot of effort."
Feng Qianyue's expression was pious and respectful as he said, "This son heard that mother likes tea flowers, so he had someone find a flower seed to try and grow it. This kind of tea flower is called the Golden Tea Flower, and as long as you nurture it with your heart, it can also blossom at this time of year."
The empress raised her hand and fiddled with the golden camellia in front of her. She couldn't see what she was thinking, but she said, "Your filial piety is enough to move Imperial Mother's heart."
"This is what I should do. I only hope that mother can be at ease." Feng Qianyue said, his gaze inadvertently sweeping past the Empress's face, as if he suddenly thought of something, and he said, "This son has been here for half a day, so I still haven't seen Ninth Royal Brother. This son remembers that he usually comes at this time to pay respects to the Queen Mother. "
"Him? He probably won't be able to come for a long time." the queen said.
"Sigh …" At this moment, Feng Qianyue let out a deep sigh and said, "Sometimes, this son really does admire Ninth Royal Brother. Ever since he was born, he has had a mother with his own mother, but this son can't even remember her appearance …"
The empress was in the middle of fiddling with the camellia flowers when one of her petals fell to the ground.
Feng Qian hurriedly picked up the flower petals and placed them in the soil beneath the potted plants, then recited, "The Fallen Red Flower is not a heartless object. Transformation into spring mud to protect the flowers."
"I have forgotten. When did your mother go?" the queen asked.
"When I was five, I had no mother. No, it should be said, I never had a mother. Father said so." Feng Qianyue's eyes revealed a trace of sadness, and the corners of his eyes actually looked a little moist. Seeing the Queen looking at him, he hurriedly wiped away his tears and lowered his head. "This son is lacking in manners."
The empress sighed. "You want to be your mother, and I want my son. In our eyes, he's a pitiful person."
Feng Qianyue hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your son is afraid. It is your son's fault."
At this moment, the eunuch said from outside, "Empress, lunch is ready."
The empress passed her hand to Feng Qianyue and said, "Help me up. Stay here for lunch before you leave."
"Yes, son will obey." Feng Qianyue bowed and walked forward, supporting the empress's arm as the two of them walked towards the hall together.
A trace of coldness surfaced at the corner of Feng Qianyue's lips, but the gentle and kind smile that the Queen had on her face couldn't offset the coldness in her eyes.
On this day, Feng Qianyue ate lunch at the Changchun Palace before leaving.
When he walked out of the Changchun Palace, he raised his head and looked at the cold, gloomy sunlight. The coldness in his eyes grew stronger.
After a moment, he left. When he arrived at an inconspicuous alley in the Imperial Palace, he stopped in his tracks. He raised his eyes and saw the words "Eternal Lane" written on the memorial archway.
A tall man dressed in a purple, embroidered robe stood under the sunlight. He stood outside the alleyway that was specially prepared for the lower class palace maids to live in, and his lonely shadow dragged along for a very long time.
"Greetings to the 4th Prince." Upon seeing this rich and beautiful prince, all the passing Gong'e kneeled down in fear …
Feng Qianyue left in a hurry in the end without saying a word.
Feng Qianyue sat in an inconspicuous place within the hall, and his gaze slowly descended upon the cold and clear woman's figure …
Lian Ruyue, the backer you want to rely on will soon collapse with a loud bang. When that happens, blood will splash in all directions. What you see will be the cruelest side of humanity! This King said that even if we go to hell, you and I will still be together!
