”It certainly appears to be the case. Furthermore from the appearance of Prince Rui and the rest, it seems evident that they treated the songstress as a person from Xue country, but had no idea that they were being secretly made a fool of.” Yan Ran unwilling to be left out stated that sentence then looked at Feng Tingye's gloomy, cold expression.
”Double-sided spy?” Within Feng Tingye's eyes, it was streaked by a sliver of surprise. Contemplating for a while, he sneered: ”Notify the guards at the city walls to take note of the movements around the city gates. Increase the speed of the investigation, we must seize that songstress. Zhen wants to see who is the one playing all these tricks behind the scenes. This time the a.s.sa.s.sin was arrested and Prince Rui's mansion was seized, but not even one night has pa.s.sed and the songstress was unexpectedly able to make a move beforehand and escape. Within this palace, I'm afraid that there must be a fish that escaped our detection…”
Hearing what was being said, the three complexions all at once became heavy. There has already been two times an a.s.sa.s.sin has came. If it was said that within the palace there wasn't anyone able to come to the rescue, then the imperial army had no use, especially if it allowed two consecutive a.s.sa.s.sinations. As the proverb says, it's easy to avoid a public gun, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend. It seems there is such a person, lying in wait at Feng Tingye's side. This person hidden in this secret place is indeed rather problematic.
The atmosphere between the few became increasingly heavy, when suddenly they heard a noise from outside. ”Consort Qing, the several Da Ren are currently inside discussing official business with His Majesty, you can't go in.”
”Oh, the other Da Ren's are there as well. Then, that's perfect. This Ben Gong was just going to look for these Da Ren to discuss something.”
”Ai, Consort Qing….”
With a bang, Xia Yuqing had already pushed open the door. The small eunuch behind her trembled in fear, he couldn't pull on her, but he couldn't not pull her back. Cold sweat started to gurgle as it flowed down. Nowadays, being a gatekeeper was definitely not easy at all!
”You can withdraw. It just so happens that Zhen also has a matter to discuss with Ai Fei.” Feng Tingye looked at Xia Yuqing's tumultuous momentum, both eyes narrowed, he could already guess the reason why she was here. His thoughts taking a turn in direction, the corners of his mouth lifted up into a fox like smile. His mind had already thought of a response.
The small palace eunuch hearing what was said and acting as if it was a pardon from a mistake, faced everyone, bowing and demonstrating his proper etiquette, then looking as if his b.u.t.t was set on fire, he rapidly escaped.
The door of the room once again was closed. Xia Yuqing looked at the several people present. Taking in a deep breath, she roused up her courage to speak: ”Your Majesty, Chen Qie has something she wants to say. Chen Qie….”
”What a coincidence. Zhen also has something that he wants to say to Ai Fei.”
Before Xia Yuqing could finish speaking, she was already interrupted by Feng Tingye. Suddenly astonished, she lifted her head up to look at him to see that his face was smiling in a charming manner. ”Ai Fei, please listen to what Zhen has to say before you say anything, okay?”
