C297 retrospect

"Back then when I, the late emperor, was in trouble, your mother risked her life to give you birth in order to protect you. But I can't imagine, after your mother gave birth to you, she returned to the west, and the Lady Feng pitied a child who had no one to rely on, so he kept you by his side like a daughter. Your mother had a mama by her side, but I don't know if you remember, but it was her who took care of you when you were young. She was originally your matriarch's personal maid back then, so she stayed by your side to protect you. " The old man slowly narrated everything that had happened all those years ago.

"Grandma?" It really did seem like there was a mama like that. It was a pity that he was too young and didn't have any memories of his youth.

"I don't know if what you're saying is true or not, so what if it's all true? Don't tell me you want me to help you restore your former glory. Right now, the citizens of the world are all living a good life. Feng Yu said. I don't know why you're telling me all this, but I'll take my leave first. " After Feng Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Sigh!" The old man looked at Feng Yu's departing figure and wanted to stop her, but Lin Mu stopped him.

"Father, maybe he still can't accept this. Maybe everything will be fine when she thinks it through." Lin Mu said, "Please rest assured that I will always be at the palace."

After hearing Lin Mu's words, the old man finally stopped his impulse to chase after Feng Yu.

On the other side. When everyone realized that the phoenix feather had disappeared, they began to search for it.

"Yu Er, Yu Er." Xuanyuan Zhan's voice sounded, and it just so happened that Feng Yu, who had rushed back, heard it.

"I'm here!" Feng Yu was born.

"Where have you run off to, where do you know how worried we are about you?" Xuanyuan Zhan grabbed Feng Yu's hand and held it tightly.

"I was bored and wanted to go around. Who would've thought that you guys would go around looking for me?" Feng Yu said with a smile.

"It's good that you're fine. Do you know that there are a lot of refugees here and it's not safe?" Xuanyuan Zhan was nearly scared to death by Feng Yu.

"Got it!" I'm fine! " Feng Yu giggled.

After returning to the palace, Xuanyuan Zhan took Dou Dou to the eastern palace of the crown prince. Since today's lesson had already ended, the old man was still waiting there. Dou Dou was also extremely unwilling, but he knew his own responsibilities in his heart. Therefore, he obediently left Feng Yu's chamber with Xuanyuan Zhan.

After Feng Yu saw Xuanyuan Zhan bringing Dou Dou away, she suddenly thought about the young eunuch by her side. Who would have thought that there would be such a person lurking around his. Thus, Feng Yu called the manager aunt of her palace over.

"How long have you been here?" Feng Yu probed.

"This old servant has been in this palace for more than ten years, and has followed the Empress for quite some time." The manager's aunt said carefully.

"Is the previous owner the same as the previous empress?" Feng Yu asked.

"Not exactly. There were a few consorts before, but they were transferred to the empress's palace only a few years ago." The manager's aunt didn't know if there was anything she hadn't done well. This caused her to be unhappy with Feng Yu, so she was still a bit apprehensive.

"What about the other palace maids in this palace?" Feng Yu's purpose was to find out if her workers had any other spies.

"Apart from this old servant, the palace maids and eunuchs have all just arrived here this year. But Empress, don't worry, they have been in the palace for a long time, so they won't be unfamiliar with their duties." The manager's aunt thought that Feng Yu was worried that these new maids were inexperienced.

"How about this, see if we can change another batch. I'm not dissatisfied with them, so I feel that if we change a batch of palace maids, I will gain more experience as a result. Furthermore, I also have feelings for you guys after staying in the palace for so long. "I know that my aunt has always taken good care of me, so I wanted to trouble you with taking care of this matter." Feng Yu wanted to simply send everyone away in exchange for a group of court maids around the same age as her aunt. Since she was acquainted with them, she did a favor to avoid future troubles.

"This old servant will definitely handle this matter well, thank you esteemed empress for your benevolence." The head aunt was naturally very grateful to Feng Yu. After all, she had been in the palace for more than ten years, and some of her old sisters had not been well. Only she was at the side of the empress, and now she could finally have them by her side.

Seeing that the manager's aunt had already left, Feng Yu recalled the jade pendant the old man had told him about. Thus, he rummaged through the boxes to find the jade pendant. Although the jade pendant was left to her by Feng Yu's mother, she didn't wear it often. It had been in the box for a long time, but there was already some dust.

Feng Yu used her handkerchief to wipe the dust off the jade pendant. Following the old man's instructions, she discovered that there really was a mark. Although Feng Yu didn't like to read books, this matter was related to her own background. Thus, Feng Yu had drawn the hungry picture on a piece of paper and prepared to go to the Imperial Palace's library to look it up.

Just as Feng Yu was about to put away the jade, Xuanyuan Zhan suddenly came over.

"What is this?" Seeing the jade pendant in Feng Yu's hand, Xuanyuan Zhan asked curiously.

"These are the things my mother left me before she passed away. I haven't taken them out yet, but today they suddenly rang, so I took them out to take a look." Feng Yu did not tell Xuanyuan Zhan about the jade pendant as well as the old man he met today. It was because Feng Yu had yet to figure out the truth behind the matter, so she did not want Xuanyuan Zhan to worry about his own safety.

"Is it because you encountered something that made you sad when you left the palace today?" Xuanyuan Zhan didn't know if something had made Feng Yu think of her deceased hungry mother.

"No, no. I just feel like I'm already a parent, so I think of my mother." Feng Yu tried his best to explain.

"And me." Xuanyuan Zhan knew that even if Feng Yu had something on his mind, he would still bear it himself first. However, Xuanyuan Zhan only wanted Feng Yu to know that he was not alone.

Xuanyuan Zhan hugged onto Feng Yu tightly, and looked at the jade pendant in his hand. Suddenly, he felt a very familiar feeling from this jade pendant, but he had indeed never seen this jade pendant before. Xuanyuan Zhan carefully looked at this jade pendant, but didn't find anything strange. After all, this jade pendant was left to her by Feng Yu's mother. Therefore, Xuanyuan Zhan did not give it much thought.

At this time, Nangong Chen suddenly had something he needed to discuss with Xuanyuan Zhan. Feng Yu knew that the matter of the refugees was indeed very troublesome, so she called Xuanyuan Zhan and Nangong Chen over to discuss it.

"Then stay in the palace by yourself, and don't let your imagination run wild. I'll come to you when I've dealt with these matters. " Xuanyuan Zhan worriedly reminded Feng Yu.

"Alright, I know. You can go without worry, Nangong Chen is still waiting for you." Feng Yu glanced at Nangong Chen, and signaled him to hurry up.

Xuanyuan Zhan knew that this matter was a matter of priority, and followed Nangong Chen to leave. After seeing Xuanyuan Zhan and Nangong Chen walk far away, Feng Yu took out the blueprints that she had hidden from sight from her belt. She didn't know if she could find any clues about him in the Compendium Pavilion, so she decided to give it a try.

On the way, he coincidentally bumped into Murong Zhi who was about to meet Xuanyuan Zhan.

"Where are you going?" Looking at Feng Yu's light attire, Murong Zhi asked curiously.

"Me? I was bored to be staying at the palace, so I wanted to go to the Imperial Palace's library to see if there were any interesting books. " Feng Yu did not lie to Murong Zhi because he knew that he only had one day to go to the Compendium Pavilion.

"You want to go to the Compendium Pavilion?" Murong Zhi looked at the not too distant Book Collection Vault, and suddenly found it hard to believe that Feng Yu would actually use this chance to pass the time.

"Yes, you must be going to see A Zhan. Nangong Chen is already gone, hurry up and go." Feng Yu did not want to say anything to Murong Zhi. Feng Yu knew Murong Zhi's personality, and was afraid that if she were to say more to Murong Zhi, she would expose herself.

"I suddenly remembered something very important." Murong Zhi looked at Feng Yu and said with a smile.

"Don't look at me like that? "It's quite scary." Feng Yu felt goosebumps all over his body.

"You can help out with this matter, Lich." After saying that, Murong Zhi dragged Feng Yu and walked in another direction.

"Why don't you tell me what it is first?" Feng Yu saw that he was walking further and further away from the library, and then forcefully opened Murong Zhi's eyes. Even if she needed his help, she would need to know in advance what kind of mental preparation was needed.

"The thing is, previously, when A Zhan and I went to get the Soldier's Medallion, he promised a lady to redress her grievances. After that, when A Zhan returned to the palace, he released the other concubines from the imperial palace. I thought that the lady had already left the palace. It was later unwittingly learned that the girl had not gone out of the palace for the same reason we wanted to take her out of the palace. After all, she is the descendant of a general, and needs to avenge her family before she is willing to leave the palace. " Murong Zhi thought that this lady had probably been framed not long after she had entered the palace. That, coupled with her family's misfortune, had caused her to stay in the Cold Palace. The reason why he called Feng Yu was because Feng Yu was the master of a harem. He was a man, so it wasn't convenient for him to enter a harem.

"There's actually such a thing?" After listening to Murong Zhi's description, Feng Yu suddenly started to admire him. After all, using his own life to protect the reputation of the clan required a lot of courage and responsibility.

"I think A Zhan has probably forgotten about this because of the matter of the refugees recently. "Since we promised this lady, we must keep our promises." Murong Zhi looked at Feng Yu and said seriously.

"That's only natural. Let's go take a look at that lady now." Feng Yu couldn't wait to see what this girl looked like.

Feng Yu could already feel the desolation of the cold palace before the cold reached her ears. However, she did not expect there to be such a desolate place in such a glorious palace.

"There isn't even a single palace maid here?" Feng Yu asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps he has slacked off. After all, the people living in this Leng Palace are all concubines who have lost their favors. Therefore, there is naturally no one who would do their best in this place." Murong Zhi's flirtatious encounters revealed a slight sigh.

"But they were once famous generals, and now they've fallen to this state. How do they survive?" The closer Feng Yu got to this cold palace, the more she felt an inexplicable desolation assaulting her back.

"They probably can't let go of each other." Murong Zhi was especially serious when he said this.

"Are you sure he's still here?" This place was truly too quiet and desolate, just like a graveyard of death. Feng Yu didn't know if there really were people in this place.

At that moment, a figure walked out from the door …

"Young Master, you're finally here." The woman smiled very sincerely. As if she saw hope, she was pleasantly surprised. However, she very unhurriedly suppressed the pleasant surprise in her heart.

"I have never asked you how to address me." Murong Zhi asked after seeing the young lady.

"My name is Qin Yu." Qin Yu said softly.
