Chapter 15 (2/2)
Qing Feng’s head was still lowered, thinking of her foolish actions of committing suicide, Zhou Qing cautioned her again, “But you must never commit suicide or take likewise actions. This kind of method to escape is only a choice for the weak, you are not like those.”
Do the weak will only use suicide to escape? As it turns out the anger and pride that she was pursing was actually a sign of weakness!
Slowly raising her head, Qing Feng stared at the direction of the hall and coldly replied, “Don’t worry, I will not attempt suicide again. Because the person who should die is not us!” The person who cause the death of their parents in Hao Yue was that fatuous monarch, that instigator sitting inside!
The hatred in her eyes stunned Zhou Qing momentarily. Qing Feng’s hostility made her worried but it only lasted for a short while before her expression return to normal.
“Is Youngest Sister still alive?” Qing Feng asked cautiously.
“En, in the General residence.” Listening to Lou Xi Yan saying that Qing Mo was sent to the General residence, even though there was no news after that, she should still be alive.
Qing Feng’s hanging heart finally settled and after a long sigh of relief, she asked, “Then have you seen Youngest Sister?”
“No.” Before being transported here, her good friend, Yun, was studying an evidence from a case — A golden eight trigram disk. After a red light flashed, she fainted and she woke up in another body in a different world. At that time, Yun was beside her too, thus she suspect that Yun was also transported. If Yun was also transported into another body like her, it would be difficult to find her. Zhou Qing can only start searching for her from Qing Ling’s sisters. Qing Feng is definitely not Yun and if Qing Mo is also not Yun, she will then have to think of other alternatives.
With disappointment and worrisome, Qing Feng sighed, “That General Su does not seem to be a good person. I am worried that Youngest Sister will be bullied by him. She is still so young.” At the Palace Hall, she was only able to see Su Ling’s back view and he was silent throughout the night, making her unable to determine what kind of person he is. But for someone who is constantly in wars and battles, he must not be the virtuous kind!
“Rest assure, as a General, it is normal for Su Ling’s character to be cool and quiet. Even though he is not an accomplish general in words, he is definitely not impertinent.” During the short interaction in the Palace Hall, Zhao Qing felt that Su Ling was a relatively good person. There is a military leader quality in him that does not lose out to that of a literary official’s. He spoke only a few words throughout the night but he paid attention to every detail. This kind of male will not purposely make things difficult for a female.
Qing Feng was not as optimistic as Eldest Sister. Youngest Sister is timid by nature and usually they will protect her and help her to make decisions. But she was alone now, how will it be?! Why their fate is always being manipulated by other?!
Taking a deep breath, afraid that Eldest Sister will worry, Qing Feng suppressed her erupting anger and try to calmly talk, “Later, if Prime Minister Lou manage to convince the Emperor to leave together, you must leave with him immediately. It is better than having two people in lock up and one more thing, don’t ever come into the Palace to visit me.”
“Why?” She is not Qing Ling and originally she did not intend to enter the Palace, but with Qing Feng deliberate instructions, Zhou Qing felt that there was something amiss.
Qing Feng was stunned. Did Eldest Sister saw through it? Telling herself to cool down, Qing Feng shook her head and in deliberate casual tone explained, “Yan Hong Tian has intentions towards you. If you go out, it would be best if you do not get caught up in the web. You need not worry about me. I will take great care of myself. If you have fully recovered, just send someone to inform me.”
“Qing Feng, whatever you do, you must remember to think through it thrice. It is never advantageous to act on impulse.” The steady voice pierce straight into her heart. The Eldest Sister that is saying that made Qing Feng surprised. This person, is she really her Eldest Sister? Amnesia would really make a big change in a person? The changed her, is it good or bad?!
Qing Feng was still wondering, when the male voice from the hall that made everyone scared sounded again, “Someone come and bring them in.”
Gao Jing look towards them. Both of them did not make things difficult for him and obediently walk into the hall.
After entering the hall, Qing Feng immediately felt that the atmosphere was a little incorrect.
Yan Hong Tian’s expression was no longer dark and he even showed a suspicious smile. Lou Xi Yan still looked indifferent but his brows was preoccupied. What did that exactly discuss? Qing Feng was still thinking about it when Yan Hong Tian announced, “The sisters of the Qing fanily, with regards to the swap identities, Zhen will thoroughly investigate and give you a conclusion. With regards to Qing Ling suffering from the possible amnesia, it is suspicious. Zhen will consent the Prime Minister Lou to bring her back to guard. Before the truth is know, she is not allowed to leave the residence.”
Yan Hong Tian consented Eldest Sister and Lou Xi Yan to return back to the residence! Qing Feng was secretly delighted but was also worried. Yan Hong Tian thoughts are hard to fathom. He is willing to let them go but will there be any conspiracy behind to it?
Looking at Qing Feng, Yan Hong Tian coldly scoffed, “As for QIng Feng, even if it was true that the Hao Yue officials send the wrong person in, you are aware of it and still entered the Palace as an imposter. Thus committing the crime of deceiving the monarch and will be thrown into the Imperial Prisons as of immediate. Once the truth is thoroughly investigated, then all crimes will be convicted together.”
Thrown into the Imperial Prisons!
Qing Feng was already mentally prepared. She took a deep breath and continue to stand proudly, neither begging for mercy or crying out.
The place that was called Imperial Prison is definitely not a good place. Qing Feng gave Lou Xi Yan a look and Lou Xi Yan stared at her for a while before reverting and clasps his hands together towards Yan Hong Tian, “The Emperor is wise, this official will retire.”
“En,” Waving his hands, Yan Hong Tian did not make things difficult for them.
“Lets leave.” Lou Xi Yan took Eldest Sister’s hand and headed out the hall. Qing Feng look nostalgically at the road where the slender figure took. This goodbye, perhaps they will never have the opportunity to meet again. Suddenly Eldest Sister turn around and looked at her. Her eyes no longer held the look in the past but she could still feel her concerns. Having amnesia is fine! This is perhaps heavens’ mercy for Eldest Sister and also her punishment.
After smiling gently to the slender figure, Qing Feng suddenly turned away, no longer looking at her. The things that will be happening next, she will need to bear it alone.
