"Please, please instruct me, County Lord." Lan Jing said with a trembling voice.
"I'll pretend to be a palace maid and go with you." Lian Ruyue put down the bed curtain, and the bed seemed to fall asleep on her.
The reason why she was staying at the Ethereal Palace today was to observe Feng Yu Yao's every move. She wanted to know what other schemes Feng Yu Yao and Xiao Zhen Hai had in mind, and based on her understanding of Xiao Zhen Hai, she wouldn't let go of this opportunity to take advantage of Feng Yu Yao.
There was no one in the palace that could be used, so she had to do it herself.
He had already used people from Consort Liang's palace last time, so he couldn't help but be suspected. He couldn't use it this time around as he didn't want to implicate those hidden guards from last time. As long as Concubine Liang wasn't implicated, Xiao Shan's matter wouldn't be good.
She had to be careful with every step and not mess up the situation that the Ninth Prince had won.
In the palace of the Feng Clan.
She leaned lazily on the soft couch, holding a delicate silver spoon. Her face was tense as she ate the bird's nest without taking a bite.
"Princess, as per your order, add an excessive amount of soul calming medicine into the swallow's nest soup. After the county magistrate drank it, he fell asleep. This servant only left after seeing that she was sleeping soundly." "There are two palace maids left standing guard."
"Hmph …" Feng Guiyao snorted coldly, saying, "Today Feng Lingyue specifically called her to Changchun Palace to speak. I don't know what she said, but she definitely had ill intentions when she came to Yi Xiu Palace, so I let her sleep until tomorrow afternoon to see what she can do. "What a fool. Feng Lingyue is only a lowly bastard, but I'm her first cousin. She doesn't care about me at all."
Feng Tang said, continuing to eat the bird's nest soup.
"No way!" After eating a few mouthfuls, she suddenly sat up and Wen Xiu quickly took the bowl from her hands.
I thought that when royal father found out that Feng Lingyue was not the real princess, he would definitely be furious, and kill the empress's mother, and even behead Feng Lingyue for the crime of cheating the king. But now, the empress is safe and sound, and Feng Lingyue is only imprisoned in the name of her body, I was worried that royal father would soften his heart, and when the anger is gone, he will forgive Feng Lingyue, wouldn't that be a waste of my plans? The more Feng Yu spoke, the colder his heart became. She had been looking forward to seeing this scene, and yet she still hadn't been able to see it. In the end, she was still dissatisfied …
Feng Ling Yue was homeless, abandoned by everyone. That was what she wanted to see.
"Princess, what should we do now?" Wen Xiu asked.
Feng Yu picked up the light purple veil and slowly put it on, her eyes flashing with a cold light, she said, "In order to avoid any trouble, I will not let Feng Lingyue's life be spared. I will make the first move, kill her if she doesn't stop, and then we will say that she committed suicide!"
"Princess …" Wenxiu was startled and the bowl in her hands fell to the ground with a clatter. "This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die …" She quickly squatted down and cleaned up the broken bowl.
Feng Tang Yao's gaze slowly gathered at a certain spot, and a flame ignited in her chest. She lifted her foot and walked outside, saying, "Come with me, I want to see just where Imperial Father has arranged Feng Lingyue to stay."
"Princess, the empress has instructed the empress to not run around during the empress's funeral. Someone has caught hold of her weakness." Wen Xiu carefully reminded him.
"My mufei has always been overly cautious. This princess actually likes to take the risk." She smiled slightly. Her gaze, which was usually gentle and gentle like water, became even more frightening.
"Yes, yes, princess." A chill rose up Wenxiu's spine.
When Feng Ziyao hurried out of the chamber, two palace maids dressed in light pink robes slowly walked out from behind a nearby pillar.
Lian Ruyue looked at him thoughtfully and whispered, "Let's go."
"Yes." Lan Jing walked in front of her as a cover, while she lowered her head and followed behind her. The two of them followed Feng Yu together.
When Lan Jing saw the imperial guards in front of her walking past, her head drooped even lower. Her back was taut, and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead due to her nervousness. She heaved a sigh of relief when the imperial guards passed by.
Changchun Palace was brightly lit. It was a field of white, and all the servants were weeping and wailing.
Feng Ziyao walked in, passing by these people and searching every chamber in the hall, but she could not find Feng Lingyue.
Then, Feng Ziyao went to the place where she thought her father would arrange for Feng Lingyue to go, but she could not find her.
In the end, she went to the Sky Prison and didn't see Feng Lingyue in the prison. Instead, she saw the eldest young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Shan, wearing white clothes with the word 'prison' on his chest. His hair was in disarray and he had a face full of stubble.
When he looked up at Feng Lingyue, it was as if he had gone mad. He ran towards her, his hand clutching the door as he shouted, "Princess Thirteen, Princess Thirteen, are you here to let me out?"
Feng Tang Yao took two steps back in fear. Her face was pale as she said, "I … I was just here to take a look. Have you seen the Eleventh Princess?"
"My second brother's future wife?" Xiao Shan begged, "No, why did Princess Eleven come here? This is not a place for people. Princess, the Emperor believes you. Please help me beg for me."
Feng Tang Yao was extremely willing to hear that Feng Lingyue was Xiao He's future second wife, so she furrowed her brows and said, "Xiao Shan, don't be impatient. You've been wrongly accused, and will surely suffer grievances."
With that, Feng Yunyao hurriedly left, and ordered the guards not to say that she had come here.
The Eleventh Princess seemed to have disappeared from the palace overnight. Feng Yunyao searched for many places, but to no avail.
"Could it be that royal father has already secretly executed her?"
she thought excitedly.
If so, it would be the best.
However, not seeing Feng Lingyue's corpse made her feel uneasy.
She didn't like holding back. She wanted everything to be clear and clean so that she could be at ease when she married Xiao He in the future.
Along the way, Lian Ruyue quietly returned to the palace hall with Lan Xin. Together, they moved the palace maids off the bed and changed back into their clothes.
When the palace maid woke up, she discovered that she was sleeping on the ground. She did not know what had happened, so she thought that she had fallen asleep. She hurriedly stood up in fright.
She whispered to Lan Jing, "My head hurts so much. I feel like I've been beaten. Why am I lying on the ground?"
"Are you asleep? Are you dreaming?" Lan Jing's voice was trembling slightly as she replied.
"Then why didn't you call me?" The palace maid lowered her voice and rubbed the back of her head, which hurt a lot, as she said.
"Shh, don't talk."
Lian Lu Yue laid back on the bed.
She opened her eyes wide, wide awake. Feng Ziyao searched so many places, but still couldn't find the Eleventh Princess. Where was the Eleventh Princess imprisoned by the Emperor?
Her mind kept going back to her previous life …
Feng Lingyue had died of a serious illness!
