They could only trust Xuanyuan Zhan's cleverness. After Ning Fei heard about this, he was extremely anxious, but he didn't have any other way.

Xuanyuan Zhan entered the palace in exhaustion. Qian Qing Gong wasn't only limited to his royal father, he also had Yan Fei and his wife by his side. He knelt down and respectfully bowed, "Greetings, royal father, Yan Feifei, and Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The worst thing about the crown prince was that he was just acting like this. Most of the time, she only wanted to tear apart all of Xuanyuan Zhan's disguises, and then, push him onto the ground so that people would understand the outcome of going against him.

"Your son is free." The emperor's majestic voice came out, the suspicion in his heart actually lessened by a bit when he saw Xuanyuan Zhan unperturbed.

"Thank you, royal father." Xuanyuan Zhan patted the dust off his court uniform, and seemingly asked indifferently: "I wonder what kind of urgent matter royal father has to invite this son of his into the palace?"

The Emperor's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be filled with emotion that had been brewing for a long time. "Has my son been well recently?"

However, Xuanyuan Zhan shook his head, "I thank royal father for your concern, but it's just a matter of concern.

The emperor knew that Xuanyuan Zhan was very intelligent. If he did not take the initiative to start a conversation, his son would not be able to fall into the pit. So the emperor said, "I heard from the crown prince that your late princess has returned. If I remember correctly, six years ago, the young miss of the Feng family, Feng Yu, passed away and entered the Royal Tomb.

And now, who was the person that had appeared in his son's manor? "This question has tormented me for a long time. Although it is your matter, your son should know that the consequences of this matter will be handled by someone, no?"

If what happened six years ago was fake, then the current Feng Yu was innocent, but there was always someone who took responsibility for the crime of deceiving the Emperor. If what happened six years ago was true, then the current Feng Yu was a fake.

As far as the imperial family was concerned, a swaggering fake would only end up with the word 'death' in the end. Of course, this was a relatively light judgement. The authority of the current emperor was never allowed for anyone to challenge him.

Therefore, regardless of whether he took a step forward or a step backwards, the crime of bullying the monarch was certain to be committed. No one could get rid of the chaos on this point, and the Emperor would not give others a second chance.

In this sort of situation, the crown prince thought that if it was him, he would definitely choose to protect the trust he had in royal father's eyes and distance himself from that person. But even so, in such a vast palace, Xuanyuan Zhan had replied confidently, "Royal father, this son believes that she is the wife that I officially married back then, and the child by my side is obviously my child."

However, after hearing what Xuanyuan Zhan said, he was surprised that Feng Yu had brought back a child, and a trace of anticipation immediately rose in her heart. Even though he had many sons, up until now, not a single prince's wife had given birth to a grandson.

This was also the thing that made the emperor feel incomparable regret. Besides the throne, there was also the great hall full of children. Thus, when he thought of his son, the emperor's anger dissipated by more than half.

Yan Fei's expression did not look good. She looked at the crown prince with a blaming gaze. The crown prince actually did not tell her about such an urgent matter, and now that they were in front of the emperor, they probably did not have any chance of winning.

However, the king turned to the crown prince angrily and said, "Bastard, why didn't you tell us about this?"

The Crown Prince stuttered for a long time, but then he said with a guilty conscience, "It is very possible that he is a bastard. I am afraid that I have failed to find out what happened and have made my father happy."

Xuanyuan Zhan laughed coldly, but didn't say anything as he sat there, fully aware of the situation. The reason why the crown prince was so confident that they had committed the crime of deceiving the monarch despite not investigating Dou Dou's background, wasn't it all because of Xuanyuan Zhan?

The emperor, however, didn't bother with the crown prince anymore. He was too disappointed in the crown prince. Despite sitting in the crown prince's position, he never helped the crown prince resolve his predicament.

Zhan'er, where is this child now?

"The child's name is Dou Dou, and he is currently in this son's mansion."

"Mm, it's good that the child is here. However, you must investigate the matter from six years ago as soon as possible. We would like to see who did this under my nose."

"Okay."

Even though the emperor had slightly slowed his attitude, he couldn't let it go like this. Xuanyuan Zhan could only promise that he would quickly find out the truth, otherwise, with the emperor's suspicions and the crown prince's provocations, he didn't know what kind of conspiracy theory he would have.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Zhan was sure that it was only a stopgap measure. He thought that if worst came to worst, he would just do it in the end.

In the end, there would always be someone who would take the blame for what happened six years ago. But now, he had an idea: Did someone do something behind the scenes six years ago? Otherwise, why couldn't he find out anything?

Since Xuanyuan Zhan had entered the palace, it was a great opportunity for Feng Yu to escape. Thus, the two of them made a plan, if they did not leave now, there was no chance for them to leave.

Feng Yu changed into a man's attire, took off all the earrings around her ears, and used her makeup to disguise herself as a gongzi to dress Dou Dou up. Dou Dou's appearance was extremely cute, and because of his delicate and pretty appearance, he didn't look out of place, which actually made his look cute.

His mother was busy packing up the light items that she needed to escape with, but Dou Dou was holding onto a bowl on the side of the table. Seemingly to test the hardness of the bowl, he opened his little tiger teeth and bit into the golden bowl.

The bowl was a golden color. It seemed that it could be used.

"Dou Dou be good, when we get out, mother will buy you another bowl. This thing is too heavy, it's not convenient for us to escape."

Luckily, there was still enough time. Otherwise, if they were halfway through their escape and came across an iceberg, wouldn't it be extremely awkward?

"Idiot mother, if I were to go out, Dou Dou will starve to death. Mother, if we go out, the expenses will be huge, Mother is so poor, this is silver!"

Feng Yu could do nothing about it, thus, following Dou Dou's intentions, she kept the bowl in her luggage.

Lei Yu had already been coaxed away by her. She was only waiting for the sky to turn dark before she could run away overnight. Screw your consort, she loved freedom. How could she possibly carry her around with her in this palace? Although Iceberg had a pretty face, he couldn't stop her from walking towards the 3000 beautiful men.

Feng Yu had yet to go out when she met a woman in red, lightly dressed and with a sexy figure. Feng Yu obviously remembered this person; this was the woman who had coaxed him along with the scholar.

Feng Yu glanced at Dou Dou, and the witty Dou Dou pounced on the beauty, "Bad guy Ice Mountain has locked us up here for a long time, Sis Beauty, Dou Dou is really hungry, and wants to eat Yuejing Workshop's lotus seed cake. The beautiful sister will help Dou Dou buy it, alright?

As long as it was a woman, they would not be able to stand Dou Dou's acting. They could only agree to it in their hearts, and although the beauty in front of them was hot, she had a gentle personality, so Shangguan Qing hugged Dou Dou tightly in his arms. "Dou Dou likes to eat Yuejing Workshop's pastries, wait for big sister to buy them for you ~"

"Yes, yes." Dou Dou vigorously nodded his head, "Beautiful big sister is the best, Dou Dou loves big sister the most."

Although Dou Dou is a child, his words still made one feel good. Shangguan Qing put Dou Dou down, and greeted Feng Yu, "I don't think it's good to be with the Ice Mountain King, I think so too. All these years, there hasn't been a single woman by his side who dared to accompany him.

Shangguan Qing obviously felt that Xuanyuan Zhan was a different kind of man. In these six years, not to mention a secondary wife, he hadn't even taken in a single concubine. There was actually a bold woman who said that this prince was probably a broken sleeve because of the previous princess' matter!

Feng Yu, "…"

So it turned out that this prince wasn't that popular. There were actually so many quandaries around him …

It was just that Shangguan Qing did not see through Feng Yu's plan at the moment, so he flirted with his for a while before he left the Duke's Palace.

Feng Yu and Dou Dou heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. When they escaped from the Duke Palaces, they didn't know that outside the doors of the Duke Palaces, the red clothed woman was floating in the air while holding onto the Yuejing Workshop's pastries.

When Shangguan Qing came to visit Dou Dou, she actually had Yuejing Workshop's pastries with her. Originally, he had wanted to apologize for what had happened previously, but he did not expect to encounter such a fun matter.

Feng Yu and Dou Dou had escaped so quickly today, and before Lei Yu could find them, they had already hidden themselves inside an inn. Feng Yu raised her eyebrows and felt pleased with herself, and ordered a few dishes with Dou Dou happily, before the two of them started to gobble down the food in front of them.

"Mother, he won't find us, right?" Dou Dou chewed on the food in front of him, he did not forget to touch his bowl, and after confirming that there was no danger, he asked the lady in front of him calmly.

"It shouldn't be, it won't happen for the time being. Dou Dou, you couldn't have been bought by this ice mountain, right?" These few days, Dou Dou's attitude towards Ice Mountain was not ordinary, but thinking about it, Feng Yu was sure about it.

Dou Dou harrumphed, "Mother, you should not be taken away by him. A pure and kind child like Dou Dou would not be taken away so easily."

The two of them teased each other for a while. After they bickered for a while, it was getting late, so they rented a room in an inn to stay for the night.

The escape path was long and they didn't know what was ahead of them. However, on the second day after Feng Yu woke up, she realized something. It was unknown when the trap in their hands would be broken and there would be only a little bit left.

Dou Dou helplessly said to his prodigal mother: "How about mother try using her own skills to earn money?"

Skills... Feng Yu was a little embarrassed, no matter how hard she used her skills, there shouldn't be any caricatures or something like that in the ancient times, and there wasn't any printing technique here. Feng Yu and Dou Dou looked at each other, and their gazes finally converged on the golden bowl in their hands.

Right, this bowl was finally going to be useful now. Dou Dou looked at her mother proudly, her eyes seemed to be saying, Mother, you know how powerful this baby is right?

Feng Yu was also impressed by his Little Demon King's prophecy skills. It seemed like this little fellow knew how to predict everything.

An hour later, the mother and son duo appeared in the pawnshop. Feng Yu handed the golden bowl over to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was a slightly older man. His eyes shined brightly as if he could capture all the treasures in the world in his eyes. He had a magnifying glass in his hand and was about to look at the bowl that Feng Yu handed to him.

"Is the girl going to be the bowl?"

Feng Yuyuan nodded, but her eyes caught the symbol below the bowl: Xuanyuan … It was a battle.

Feng Yu was about to vomit blood in her heart. If she had duped this bowl, then Xuanyuan Zhan would naturally know where she and Dou Dou were. This person would not be able to leave in the past.

Of course, she knew that she didn't want to go back no matter what, but if she didn't do so, then they were in danger of being chased out of the inn. Feng Yu couldn't do this, but she didn't want to succumb to that person's dignity.

He couldn't advance, he couldn't retreat. Feng Yu's heart was in a dilemma.

Of course, how could the boss know about her feelings? Just as Feng Yu was looking at Dou Dou with a conflicted expression, the man's voice sounded from behind her.

The man's voice was very pleasant to hear, like the sound of drums striking against each other. It was extremely melodious, and it was also this voice that caused Feng Yu to involuntarily turn around to glance at that person.

On the other hand, he was a noble young master. His plain clothes were elegant beyond compare, but what attracted the most attention were his eyes. They glittered like peach blossoms, making people feel as if they would be attracted to him if they saw his eyes.

She was a little embarrassed, but luckily this man suddenly appeared, or else this shopkeeper would probably suspect her identity. When the time came, she would be sent to the Duke Palaces, and she would be screwed before the show had even started.

It turned out that the man had taken the painting to ask the pawnshop's shopkeeper to appraise it. Feng Yu only felt that this person was speaking in an extraordinary manner. In order to avoid embarrassment, Feng Yu had interrupted him with a few words, which had attracted his attention.

"Young Master has come to this pawnshop and encountered some difficult matters. I feel that there is some fate between me and Young Master. How about we be friends?"

This person was Hongfei Pavilion's Master, Murong Zhi. Although the person in front of him was dressed in male attire, he could sense that she was no ordinary person. If he wanted to obtain more of the calligraphy and paintings, he would have to invite others to appraise them.

Because of this, Feng Yu had unintentionally thought of a way to earn money. Murong Zhi's value was very high, if she could imitate a calligraphy painting …

"No worries, but I have something important that I would like to ask Young Master for. If Young Master is able to help, then even if I need more compensation, we still have room for discussion."

Feng Yu didn't think that this opportunity would turn out to be so coincidental. The silver was obviously something she needed right now, but this opportunity was extremely rare. She could use this opportunity to pick up the painting that she had thrown away for a long time.

had arranged a place for them to stay. Every day, Feng Yu only needed to copy a single painting to have a decent remuneration, but Feng Yu knew about it. She also needed Murong Zhi's help in making a living, she only said that it was a masterpiece created by a certain master.

Just like that, she still treated her bowl as a pawn, the money she received was enough to spend a lot of money, and she even got to know Murong Zhi. This time, Dou Dou did not target this pretty boy, after all, they were going to live on the streets.

What Murong Zhi had arranged for Feng Yu was not an ordinary residence, but a courtyard with a single courtyard. The environment there and its elegance and tranquility were more suitable for painting.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Yu had already lived in the mansion for a few days, and her life wasn't too bad.

However, Murong Zhi was smarter than others, and in the few days between, he had already known Feng Yu's identity through her words and deeds and her most obvious appearance. After all, the person who had sent the message to Xuanyuan Zhan back then was him.

Murong Zhi took good care of the mother and son duo, because he owed Xuanyuan Zhan a favor.

In his heart, Feng Yu immediately suspected Murong Zhi's identity. She did not think that there was anyone who would treat her so well that they would not care about their own benefits, after all, copying a painting did not earn too much silver.

That day, as soon as Murong Zhi came back and approached the courtyard, he felt a strong wind brushing past his ears, which was why he felt that it was somewhat dangerous. He heard a familiar voice, and Feng Yu's eyes were filled with suspicion.

She knew nothing about Murong Zhi's identity. Although this person did not seem to have any ill intentions towards her, it was still impossible for her to not know the reason.

Murong Zhi now knew that this woman was not the Battle Princess from six years ago, and could only wipe the perspiration on her forehead and say, "Alright, I won't hide it from you, I have a bit of a relationship with the Battle King, I owed him a favor, and I heard that the Battle Princess had recently returned to Chang An to investigate, but I never thought that it would be such a coincidence, but you are indeed much smarter."

So that was the case. Feng Yu was in a bad mood, she was truly unlucky.

Feng Yu knew that this person had no reason to lie to him, so she naturally didn't suspect this person. However, she also said, "Okay, I believe you."

He then continued to trick Murong Zhi. "Since I'm his wife, the favor I owe him is the same. Now, help me avoid him! So how about you return the favor? "
