Lin Hua Palace.

Feng Yunzheng's cold gaze looked at the person kneeling on the ground.

She knew that her trail had been exposed, and that it would be hard for her to escape today. She raised her head to look at the leaking pot in the hall, and the most important thing was to stall for time for the 4th Prince.

”Night wind.” Feng Yunzheng said.

”Yes, Your Highness!” With a cold expression, Ye Feng walked in front of Fang Yingyu and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her throat.

”Ugh …” Suddenly, Fangyu felt as if her throat was about to break. The pain was so painful that she almost suffocated, but she didn't confess. Her eyes bulged wide as she looked at Ninth Prince.

”Stop.” Feng Yunzheng raised his hand to signal.

”Cough cough, cough cough …” Yingyu's hand covered her throat as she forcefully coughed. She was in so much pain that she began to shed tears.

”Looks like This King has made a mistake. You are innocent. Let's go.” Upon hearing this, Fangyu suddenly raised her head, and her mouth let out a hoarse voice with difficulty —

”Your … Your Highness …”

”Serve This King's mufei well.”

”Yes, yes, this servant will obey!” Fang Yu quickly kowtowed, using her action of lowering her head to conceal the joy in her heart.

She hurriedly stood up and walked out. Feng Yunzheng gave Ye Feng a look, and Ye Feng understood, so he immediately and noiselessly followed.

As Fangyu walked into the courtyard, her footsteps paused for a moment before she hurried towards the Extreme Huang Palace. However, just as she stepped through the gates, she felt a jolt at the back of her head, and her vision went black as she fainted —

Looking at the man lying on the ground, Ye Feng coldly said, ”An idiot is fit to fight with His Royal Highness!”

Feng Yunzheng walked out of the side hall and walked towards the spot where Fang Yingyu had been standing a moment ago. His gaze fell on the black locust, and a flash of contemplation passed through his eyes. Step by step, he walked over —

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. He could hear people clamoring outside, and he also heard the panicked voices of palace maids and mama —

”The emperor has given the order to search every hall. Those who are not involved, come out at once!”

As he bent down, he heard a sudden sound. The door to the first palace of the Lin Hua Palace had been opened!

The head of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Keji, and Chief Eunuch Feng Degui led the Imperial Guards and eunuchs into each and every palace to conduct a search.

In the Royal Palace, the air seemed to have frozen, silent and unmoving.

He could only hear the panicked voices of the palace maids outside, mixed with the berating voices of the imperial guards and eunuchs. When this voice reached the interior of the palace hall …

Each of the concubines had their own thoughts as their expressions varied. Some of their faces were already somewhat pale.

Feng Yang leaned into Lian Shufei's arms, and she held her tightly.

Beside the emperor, Empress Dian Wen secretly clenched her fists inside her sleeves. Her palms felt hot as she looked outside, and it seemed as if the night air was a little cold. Although she tried her best to hide it, her eyes revealed a faint layer of worry —

Her gaze landed on the imperial concubine. Although she was the imperial concubine, her clothes were still simple and elegant, and her temperament was like an orchid.

Imperial Concubine Liang, since your son is no longer willing to be used by me, then I'll completely destroy all of you! Don't blame me for being ruthless. In this deep palace, no one is allowed to destroy themselves! Besides, only tomorrow, I have the right to be the crown prince!
