Chapter 222 - The Emperor Star of the World, never to be seen again!
Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Nangong Lingwei shuddered, and stepped forward with a deathly pale face. Her voice was obviously trembling with anxiety, "Empress, what's wrong with her!"
The eunuch's face turned pale as he knelt on the ground in fright to report, "The empress, she jumped into Holy Pond."
"What!" Hearing this, Nangong Lingwei almost fainted on the spot, but luckily, her close personal nanny was able to support him in time.
"The servants and others followed the imperial edict to escort the empress to the cold palace, but when they didn't want to go to the imperial study, they didn't see the empress. The servants searched everywhere, and finally found the empress at the edge of the Holy Pond, but before they could even reach her side, they only heard the sound of water splashing, and the empress had already jumped into the Holy Pond."
"Then why are you still kneeling here? Hurry up and save him!" When Nangong Lingwei heard this, she almost went crazy. She did not care about the dignity of the Empress Dowager, but she kicked the little eunuch.
It was all her fault.
The Nan Gong Family had collapsed in the imperial court, Baili Yi Chen had doted on Yue Guifei in the imperial harem, Bei Chenyue's father Bei Chenhong's power had been gradually expanded, and if Nangong Yimeng continued to grow stronger, it would only be a matter of time before she would become a cripple.
If it wasn't for her wanting Nangong Yimeng to marry the empress to stabilize her position, Meng'er wouldn't have had the guts to do so. The Nangong family only had Meng Er and Meng Er. If Meng Er were to die, how would she face the Nangong family's ancestors?!
The little eunuch didn't dare dodge after being kicked by Nangong Lingwei. He could only explain, "The imperial guards have already been searched, but the Holy Pond's water surface is too wide, and the sky is dark, so even though there are a lot of people searching, they all came up empty-handed."
"..." Nangong Lingwei was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground. She turned around and looked at Baili Yi Chen, "Emperor, aren't you going to take a look?"
Baili Yi Chen closed his eyes and took a deep breath. As long as he thought of what Nangong Yimeng had done, there was no way he could not hate her. After a long while, he opened his eyes and spoke while gritting his teeth, "We will never see each other again."
"AHH!" was shocked by Baili Yi Chen's resolute attitude. The repeated blows made Nangong Lingwei unable to hold back her tears. In an instant, it was as if she had aged several years.
In the end, Baili Yi Chen and Empress Dowager were once very close. Seeing her suffer such a terrible blow, he could not bear it any longer and coldly said, "We will send more people to look for him. If he is alive, we must see him, if he is dead we must see his corpse! Queen Mother, go back to the Phoenix-Resting Palace! "
With no other choice, Nangong Lingwei could only stagger back to the Phoenix-Resting Palace with the support of her personal mama.
Looking at Nangong Lingwei's trembling back, Baili Yi Chen's eyes flashed with a trace of pain.
Maybe, although his mother was doing this for his own good, he still could not pass the hurdle in his heart. Hong Zhong losing was perhaps not related to his mother at all, but if he had to act as if nothing had happened, and go and pamper other women, he really could not do it!
After staring blankly for an unknown period of time, a young eunuch's report came from outside the door. "Your Majesty, this isn't good." Pearl had hanged herself in Ming Hua Palace, Yue Guifei had gone to visit and coincidentally saw her, thus she saved her. "
The Pearl was precisely the Dongfang Mingzhu who had just become her concubine.
When Baili Yi Chen heard this, the guilt he felt towards Nangong Lingwei instantly disappeared. It was not because he loved Dongfang Mingzhu, but because if the empress dowager had not stopped him, Nangong Yimeng would not have died, and everything that happened last night would not have happened either …
But, Nangong Yimeng committed suicide, so it was her own fault. Sighing slightly, she asked, "How is she now?"
The eunuch lowered his head and answered swiftly, "He has been saved and has been rushed to see the imperial physician. He is fine. This servant has come to ask for instructions. How should I deal with the subsequent matters?"
Baili Yi Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
Although Dongfang Mingzhu was something that hesheid not love, and living or dying did not have much of an impact on him, she should still take responsibility for the things that she had done wrong. Thinking for a moment, he continued, "We heard that she and Yue Guifei had a good relationship in the past, in the next few days, let Yue Guifei go to the famed Hua Palace to persuade her."
After he finished speaking, Baili Yi Chen had already made a decision in his heart. If Dongfang Mingzhu could understand that she would not be living a simple life, then the only thing he could give her would be a lifetime of glory and wealth, a lifetime of imperial concubines.
However, he would never go to the Imperial Palace again, because his love, had already gone with the person he longed for. He was dead!
If Dongfang Mingzhu really couldn't take it, and hanged herself for sure, then the only thing he could do, would be to fulfill her wish!
… ….
On the second day, just as the sky brightened, Hong Zhong … No, that's not right, it's Feng Wuyou. She woke up early, and started to think about leaving the city, hoping that she could get to middle canal as soon as possible.
Initially, Hong Li had planned to follow Feng Wuyou to the middle canal, but he received an urgent message. Something had happened at the store at the Xiangyang, and he urgently needed to go deal with it, so he had no choice but to go first. Before leaving, he made an agreement with Feng Wuyou that it would be five days.
Five days later, Feng Wuyou received her Herba Brassicae and met up with Hong Li at Fen Yang.
After Hong Li left, Feng Wuyou and her group very quickly appeared on the main street of Fen Yang.
Feng Wuyou rode on her horse and thought about her new identity. In her heart, she called her beautiful, Villa Master of the Worryfree Manor — Feng Wuyou!
There were a total of four great young masters in the Navy Tide Continent, namely: the gorgeous, bewitching, and enchanting Peach Blossom Flowery Young Master Hua Yurong, the charming, elegant, and humble Minglan Young Master Hong Li, Murong Ruilan.
And the most mysterious out of the Four Young Masters, was the Worryfree Manor s.
Everyone knew that Young Master Wuyou's face was like a peach flower, his looks were outstanding, comparable to Hua Yurong. His thoughts went through a hundred twists and turns, he was extremely intelligent, comparable to Hong Li, and he had a very refined demeanor, comparable to Murong Rui.
Because in fact, no one had ever seen Young Master Wuyou before.
He was someone who lived in the legends.
Feng Wuyou, who had such a high status, was currently extremely smug in her heart. Who said that the teleportation female lead would definitely be an imperial concubine who wouldn't be pampered and married into a princess? Who said that she had to meet her stepmother, Little Sister Shu, and that she was a trash?
En, it was only now that she realized that ever since she had transmigrated, her status was even more incredible than before. Lower Consort? Little Sister Shu? Top quality trash? It had nothing to do with her!
On the contrary, the handsome guys next to him were competing with each other!
Well, perhaps, she was the legendary fighter through the women?
That's right, just like that!
In the morning, Fen Yang Street was also bustling with noise and excitement.
Feng Wuyou looked at the passing pedestrians, she suddenly stopped her horse and turned to look at Hua Yurong and the others, "Xiao Hua, let's wait for a while, we are going to ask for medicine and not give you any presents, do you feel embarrassed?"
Speaking of which, she remembered the time when she had sent Murong Youqi back to the country, she had also left empty-handed. In the end, it was fortunate that Uncle was considerate enough to prepare the Li Ji's cinnamon cake for her.
Hearing that, Hua Yurong rolled her eyes at Feng Wuyou in displeasure, and tilted her head to the side. It was obvious that she was not interested in the question of whether or not Feng Wuyou was giving gifts.
Last night, when Hong Li came, he found out that the Xiao Zhonger he had always treated as a treasure in his hands was actually the Villa Master of the Worryfree Manor.
However, the way he addressed Feng Wuyou, still, did not change. Regardless of whether she was Hong Zhong, or Feng Wuyou, or whatever it was, she was still his Xiao Zhonger.
His Xiao Zhonger!
Seeing that Hua Yurong was too lazy to respond to her, Feng Wuyou uninterested rubbed her nose, tilted her head, and looked towards Mo Xi, asking for their opinion.
Mo Xi and Lv Luo both nodded after thinking about it carefully, indicating that they should give something to Yue Yang.
Seeing this, Feng Wuyou also felt the same way. She tilted her head and looked at Hua Yurong: "Xiao Hua, what does Zhonghe City's Mayor Mo like normally?" Gifting a gift, shouldn't it also be a gift that had to be something that suited one's appetite?
Hearing that, Hua Yurong looked over to the other side, and with a myriad of bewitching words, she slowly said: "How would I know!" What did it have to do with him!
Not getting an answer, Feng Wuyou tilted her head again as she looked at Ling Yun who was behind Hua Yurong.
Feng Wuyou had already guessed that Hua Yurong might have something to do with the Zhonghe City previously, but since Hua Yurong didn't want to say it, it wouldn't be good for her to ask.
After thinking about it, Ling Yun spoke in a serious tone: "Mayor Mo doesn't have any special hobbies. If there is one more thing that must be said, it is to be like Dong Heng, who likes to play chess!"
Chess?
Feng Wuyou tilted her head, and her sharp eyes caught a glimmer of light from Hua Yurong's charming peach blossom eyes, but she quickly disappeared. She knew, that Hua Yurong had listened to Ling Yun's words!
However, the matter between Hua Yurong and Mayor Mo was not the most important thing at the moment. What was important was the difficult problem before him!
Feng Wuyou frowned and thought, the ancient people liked to play Go, so there was nothing strange about it. Gifting her gifts, she naturally couldn't do with ordinary chess. However, all the famous chess pieces in this world had already been collected by others. Where could she find a good chess piece now?
He thought for a moment, then decisively rode his horse towards Fen Yang City's biggest chess club, intending to try his luck. As he rode, he asked Ling Yun curiously: "Ling Yun, why is Dong Heng famous for her chess game?"
Hearing this, Ling Yun immediately replied: "Of course he's famous. Dong Heng, he's one of the Four Young Masters, a famous gentleman who loves chess, and it's said that half of the Navy Tide Continent's eight famous chess pieces are in his hands."
"Oh." Feng Wuyou nodded, but in her heart, she was somewhat speechless. Why is Dong Heng, also one of the Four Young Masters?
He looked at the Peach Blossom Flowery Young Master Hua Yurong, then thought about how she was Young Noble Liu Li's own big brother, then thought about her own identity as the Young Master Wuyou. Why did he get the feeling that the Four Young Masters would be able to gather them in a blink of an eye?
Why wasn't there any feeling of being rich?
As the group spoke, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the board.
A voice came from inside, it attracted Feng Wuyou's attention, "Sir, this game of chess is really good, this old one is convinced of my defeat, and this old one will definitely keep my promise, from now on, one of the world's eight famous chess pieces, the 'Glacial Jade Pawn', will be your master's."
Following which, a gentle voice slowly sounded, "You have accepted my offer, sir. If so, I shall not be courteous."
When Feng Wuyou heard this, he immediately became spirited. This voice, she was a little familiar with it!
Of course, what made her extremely excited was not the familiar voice, but the content of the conversation.
She quickly jumped down from the horse's back and rushed in with a few large steps. She had to get her hands on that chess set!
Upon entering the room, a familiar figure stunned Hong Zhong.
With a face like jade, bright eyes full of smiles, who else could it be but Murong Shaoxuan sitting on the wheelchair?
At the moment, he was holding a chess box in his hands. From the looks of it, it was something that the old man had received just now, and he very quickly saw Feng Wuyou and was obviously startled by it. Then he smiled and said, "Miss, is that you?"
"Eh …." Feng Wuyou was still a little confused. If she remembered correctly, the last time she met this man was three days ago. During these three days, they travelled day and night, finally arriving at Fen Yang.
But Murong Shaoxuan was clearly a bad person, how could she have appeared here so quickly? And from the looks of it, he arrived even earlier than them!
As he was thinking, he looked down at himself again. He was dressed in a white luxurious robe, holding a fan in his hand, and his hair was also tied up, tied with a ribbon.
How could he tell that she was a woman?
He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment: "Young master, did you recognize the wrong person? I am Feng Wuyou of the Worryfree Manor, and am an upright man, how can I call you young master? "
Hearing Feng Wuyou's words, Murong Shaoxuan was obviously stunned, but she quickly regained her senses and laughed: "You are Worryfree Manor's Feng Wuyou?"
With a "whoosh", Feng Wuyou opened up the fan in her hand and answered affirmatively, "Yes!" It didn't seem like she was showing off her identity as someone who could flaunt his skills to the public.
"Hehe …" Murong Shaoxuan chuckled: "If that's the case, then I was rude. A few days ago, I met a lady, that lady had a similar appearance to you, so I apologised."
His words made sense.
Hearing that, Feng Wuyou's face froze for a moment: Hehe, that, that might be my twin sister Wu Shuang, so she looks more alike, hehe!
As for the board owner, after hearing Feng Wuyou introducing herself, she looked at Feng Wuyou with an excited expression. Feng Wuyou, the legendary Young Master Wuyou, he never thought that she would actually see a living one today!
As he thought about it, he excitedly returned to the backyard, and said to the servants: "I've seen the Young Master Wuyou, I've seen the living Young Master Wuyou! Young Master Wuyou is at my board! "
Thus, not long after, the news about the Fen Yang's Chess Club appeared in the legendary Young Master Wuyou and spread like wildfire.
Not long after, the streets were filled with many noble young ladies from noble families who had yet to leave the pavilion. They were all blocking the entrance of the board, wanting to witness the elegance of Young Master Wuyou!
Not long after, they surrounded the chess and chess club so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
