zChapter 1020 - Nothing Was Found (2/2)

That’s even more impossible! If that person was really at Sheng Palace, then at the beginning, the incident when the Eight Prince was sent to the execution grounds and almost got his head cut off would not have happened. If that person wanted to act, he would have acted earlier, it was possible for them to wait until Xuan Tian Mo got into trouble before acting. In addition, when Xuan Tian Mo was locked in the death row prison, he was completely unable to communicate with the outside world.

Feng Yu Heng felt that something in this was really strange, so she did not leave and stayed to wait for Concubine Yuan Shu to return, wating to hear what she said and did in the palace.

Concubine Yuan Shu returned from Zhao He Hall and did not let Feng Yu Heng wait long, returning to the palace after a short while. But she did not do anything out of the ordinary, bathing and changing after returning, then laid on a soft daybed with two palace maids giving her a full body massage, speaking while they massaged: “Aching all over, the Emperor is really exactly the same as 20 years ago!”

The two palace maids who were massaging had sweet mouths and followed Concubine Yuan Shu’s flow, saying: “Your Highness is also no different from 20 years ago, young and charming, it’ll be strange if the Emperor doesn’t like you! This is the Emperor loving Your Highness, from this lowly one’s point of view, perhaps Your Highness can still give the Emperor a prince.”

Once she heard this, Concubine Yuan Shu could not help but cover her mouth and laugh with a kekeke. After stopping with much difficulty, she spoke again: “Forget about having a prince, the Emperor has so many sons, the Emperor might not be more pleased by giving birth to another prince. In addition, this one only looks young, my age is still there! However, I have not lacked in nutritious foods during this time, if my stomach is up to it, if I could be pregnant with a princess, then it would be considered an extremely good thing. In our Da Shun, giving birth to a prince is not a happy occasion, giving birth to a princess is a cause for celebration.”

“Yes! Your Highness will definitely give birth to a beautiful young princess! Ah no! It’s two, you’ll definitely get twins.”

The two place maids flattered Concubine Yuan Shu until she was full of smiles, but Feng Yu Heng became a little apprehensive when she heard this. She did forget about this, women in the ancient era mature early, Concubine Yuan Shu entered the palace just after reaching marriageable age at 15, even though more than 20 years had passed, after calculating, she had not reached 40 years old yet. With this age and the maintenance received in the palace, in addition to the doting she received for a few days consecutively, she might really become pregnant again. This woman was acting so arrogantly now, if she really became pregnant, the palace would really be under the control of mother and son.

Feng Yu Heng quietly decided that she would sneakily put some contraceptive medicine into the tea she drank. The method was underhanded but using it on Concubine Yuan Shu only made her feel that it was not enough, this would not dispel her hatred no matter how underhanded it was.

At this point, she stayed at Cun Shan Palace and stood guard, thinking that it was possible that the Eight Prince would head here after court ended. With the mother and son together, they might just talk about substantial topics.

At the same time, in a remote small yard within the palace, Feng Zi Rui got up from his mattress, no longer feeling sleepy.

In the end, if not for the people under Concubine Yuan Shu coming to search when he had been sleeping, he could wake up a little earlier. After all, he needed to remain wary at all times when he was staying in this palace. In addition, with the Emperor already at morning court, the more he could not laze around in bed. However, with such a disturbance last night, no one would be able to sleep properly after. In the end, Zi Rui was an 11 year old child, an age where he would be sleep deprived, that is why he got up a little later.

He sat on the mattress, his first thought being: Did older sister come last night? She probably did, right! He did not see her, but he had a feeling about it. That was his sister whose heart he was connected to, he could feel that his older sister was at his side, just that she did not appear to meet him. He also knew that his older sister definitely worried about having him stay in the palace alone, so she snuck in to see him, but also wanted him to truly grow up and face things on his own, so she chose to come but not meet him.

The corner of Zi Rui’s mouth lifted and he smiled, this feeling of having someone care for him at this time, was really good. At this moment he could feel that he was fighting side by side with his older sister and brother-in-law. This kind of battle was more covert, but this still made him feel very excited.

A short while later, a palace maid from outside pushed the door and entered, it was the young lady who kept watch overnight and talked to him.

Zi Rui watched her carry a basin of water onto the shelf and walk up to him, then she bowed first, and said: “Why don’t you sleep a little more? After that disturbance last night, you probably did not sleep enough, right?” She had a very gentle tone when speaking and the tone contained sincere concern.

Zi Rui shook his head and said: “I’m not sleeping, I’m a visitor when entering the palace, the Emperor is at morning court, how I can laze in bed? Bad living habits would be denounced by others, if this was spread, it won’t affect me that much, but people will say that my older sister did not teach me well.” After saying this, he stared at that palace maid for a while and suddenly asked: “You’re really someone sent from his Highness Fei Yu?”
