Chapter 704 (2/2)

Feng Yu Heng immediately used a pair of scissors to tear open the collar. It would be fine if it was not opened, but once it was, she found that there was indeed a space inside the collar.

But speaking of, the thing that caused the itch was not much. It was just a few weasel hairs from a writing brush. But the thing that caused her to feel some pain was actually countless tips of needles! It was not hard to see that these tips were all taken from the sewing needles. Counting carefully, there were over 20.

Feng Yu Heng frowned. Although this was not very noticeable, it caused her to feel very uncomfortable. It was such that she felt unpleasant during this banquet. Aside from this, the clothes were made by Xu shi. By using the feelings that she had toward the Yao family, Xu shi would not be able to avoid this responsibility. Lu Yao, oh Lu Yao! You really came up with a good idea.

She threw the clothes on the ground, and an angry expression surfaced. It seemed that she had been too forgiving of Lu Yao. Some people just would not cry without seeing a casket. She had tolerated her because of Yao Shu time and time again; however, she never thought that her own tolerance would be met with ruthlessness. A sharp look flashed through Feng Yu Heng’s eyes. She no longer had any plans of forgiving that woman!

Changing into some clothes that she had kept prepared inside her space, she found that there was nobody around after coming out of her space. Feng Yu Heng then quickly headed toward Heavenly Hall.

At the same time, a girl that had arrived late also arrived at Heavenly Hall under the guidance of a eunuch. The eunuch had a slightly confused expression, but he was very polite to the girl. When they arrived, the girl said: “You can go back. I will go in on my own.” The eunuch did not think at all. He just saluted then retreated.

As for the girl, she did not go into Heavenly Hall. Instead, she wrapped around to the side courtyard and stopped beside a bit of rockery. With a hand on her chest, she breathed deeply.

This was the imperial palace? Fu Ya looked at the Heavenly Hall that was not far away. The music and sounds could clearly enter her ears. From time to time, palace servants and dancers would move around in front of the hall, and it was very lively.

Fu Ya was very nervous. This was her first time entering the imperial palace, and she had only come because of Yao shi inciting her. The bit of confidence that she had summoned while outside the palace had already been completely eliminated without anything remaining. She had come late. When she entered, she heard the servants from the imperial garden say that everyone had gone to the horse track, thus she rushed in that direction. But when she arrived there, she heard that the Empress had brought everyone over to Heavenly Hall. She immediately went and found a random palace servant to bring her to Heavenly Hall. She did not know why, but when the eunuch saw her, he was very respectful. There was even a bit of reverence and fear. At first, Fu Ya thought that it was because she could enter the palace, which caused the eunuchs to feel that her status was very high, which made them act this way. But it was later on that she found that this was not the case. The reason that they feared and revered her was that she truly looked too much like Feng Yu Heng. Because these eunuchs had seen Feng Yu Heng at the horse track earlier along with what she wore, they did not immediately make a mistake, but in the end, they were dazed. They did not dare acknowledge it and did not dare offend her.

After Fu Ya sent off the palace servants, she did not dare enter the hall. She found a courtyard to sit and rest for a while. The imperial palace was truly too large. She went from Rui Gate to the imperial garden. She then moved from the imperial garden to the horse track and from the horse track over to Heavenly Hall. She never stopped moving, and she was almost dead tired from walking. To enter the hall like this would be too lacking in decorum.

Fu Ya had originally planned on sitting there to rest for a while; however, who knew that before she could catch her breath, she saw a girl walk past the courtyard. She looked to be around 13 or 14 years of age and was wearing a pink dress. She was very beautiful. The girl casually glanced inside the yard and saw Fu Ya. The girl that looked over was given a fright. Her calves trembled, as she stopped in her tracks.

Fu Ya’s heart leaped into her throat, as she watched the girl walk over to her. She then looked her over then stared at her face. After a while, she asked in confusion: “Imperial… Imperial Daughter Ji An? You changed your clothes?” After thinking a bit, Feng Yu Heng had just been riding a horse too. There were too many people that recognized her, thus changing her clothes would be normal. Thus she happily saluted: “Greetings Imperial Daughter, why is Imperial Daughter standing over here? Are you not going into the hall?” Odd, she had spoken with Feng Yu Heng for quite a while earlier. Why did she feel so unfamiliar now? It was as though it was a different person. But this did not make sense. This was clearly Feng Yu Heng’s face.

Lu Yan was extremely puzzled, but this did not show on her face. She very warmly grabbed Fu Ya and chatted for a long time. As a result, the more they chatted, the more awkward the atmosphere became. As she continued to speak, the girl that she had called Imperial Daughter Ji An went from being dazed to looking helpless. She was able to hear everything but did not give a single response. This personality differed from Feng Yu Heng’s by far too much. Although Feng Yu Heng would also ignore people that she looked down on, they were still on speaking terms.

Gradually, Lu Yan began to realize that something was not quite right. Looking carefully at the person in front of her, she very quickly found that she seemed to be a bit thinner than Feng Yu Heng. She also seemed to be a little bit taller. The hairstyle was also different, as was the makeup. Feng Yu Heng did have time to get changed, but in such a short span of time, how could she have redone her hair, changed her accessories and even redone her makeup? Things were off by too much.

Her face became solemn. Finally, a bold thought appeared in her mind, “You aren’t Imperial Daughter Ji An?”

Fu Ya helplessly said: “I never said that I am Imperial Daughter Ji An.”

“Then why did you never refute it while I was speaking?”

“You were speaking the entire time. I didn’t have any chance to interject. How should I refute it?”

Lu Yan was very shocked, but she also remembered a matter. She had once heard her father speak with her mother. He seemed to have mentioned that a girl that looked extremely similar to Imperial Daughter Ji An had appeared, and she had been recognized by the insane Yao shi as her own daughter. She had already been taken to live in a different courtyard…

“You…” Lu Yan hesitantly asked her: “You’re her?”
