”How's the investigation going? What's wrong with you? ” His voice was a little gloomy and hoarse. Recently, he had no choice but to personally intervene in the investigation since he had suffered numerous casualties. If he did not withdraw, he was afraid that his identity would be exposed.

He had a hunch that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't figure it out.

Sure enough, Ying Kong lowered his head and said, ”Your Highness, please forgive me. You won't be able to win. Even after several days of investigation, you will still be unable to find any results.”

”It must be related to her!” Feng Qianyue was suddenly enraged. He turned around and picked up the naked woman on the bed and grabbed her neck. The woman was originally immersed in the pleasures of being favoured, but she suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

”Did she send you? Speak!”

The woman shook her head with great effort as she felt it getting harder and harder to breathe. Her eyes bulged out as she said, ”Spare me, spare me …” Your Highness... ”The palace …”

One moment he was in heaven, and the next moment he was in hell. The fourth prince was so unpredictable.

”Ugh …” With a wave of his hand, the lute girl was sent flying like a leaf. Her body struck the pillar, and with a 'peng' sound, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

As for him, he lifted the curtain and expressionlessly walked out.

ji ji, ji ji, ji ji … * The next day, after leaving Qingan Courtyard, she passed by a forest of Hibiscus Mutabilis trees. Suddenly, Lian Ruyue heard a weak cry, and she lowered her head to search for it.

”Ah, young miss, it is a newborn baby oriole bird. It looks like the wind is blowing its nest!”

”They're coming down.” The first thing to be found was the nest under a hibiscus.

In the nest, there was a bird that had just hatched, its feathers not even growing yet. Its skin was almost transparent, and one could clearly see the blood vessels and squirming organs under its skin. At this moment, it feebly opened its mouth and let out an extremely weak cry.

Seeing this young bird, Lian Ruyue's heart suddenly moved. In her mind, she unexpectedly thought of her son who was removed from her womb!

Her body trembled and her eyes began to burn.

”Miss, let Greenbranch put the nest back on the tree.” ”Yes,” both Qing Dai and Yun Xiang were oblivious to the turmoil in her heart as they spoke.

”Wait!” Just as Greenbranch's hand was about to touch the nest, she suddenly cried out, ”I'll do it.”

She walked over and raised the bird's nest with both hands — —

”Ya, First Miss, your hand is injured, you can't touch it carelessly.” Seeing this, the young woman hurriedly tried to stop him. Lian Yue's hand was still wrapped around Feng Yunzheng's white cloth.

”No problem, I won't hurt myself.” She took the nest from Greenbranch's hand.

”Eldest Miss, it should have been placed there.” Qing Dai pointed at the branch at the very top of the Hibiscus tree next to them. In the middle of the branch, there was still some yellow mud and grass.

Lian Ruyue went over and tiptoed to place the nest on top of it.

The moment Feng Qianyue entered the gate of the General's Estate's back garden, he saw a young girl holding a bird nest in her hands. She was struggling to stand on her tiptoes to put it back onto the tree branch, but because she wasn't tall enough, her face was slightly flushed.

He couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Her gaze fell upon her body. She was wearing a moon-white satin, cold blue silk dress with rolling white silk, and a snow-white silver fox fur cloak. She wore a shock bun, and beside her was a green flower and a phoenix hairpin.
