C569 No more orders (1/2)
”The Emperor has decreed that we must thoroughly investigate the incident of the prison's fire. We must bury Princess Eleven well and escort Xiao Shan's body back to the Xiao family's residence.”
”Someone, take Princess Eleven's body down.” Feng De Gui said loudly.
Seeing a eunuch carry two corpses over, Feng Degui walked up to the battered Xiao He and said:
”Young duke, please accept my condolences. The princess has already left and is unable to return.
When the princess had eaten your cake, she even said that she would thank the young duke for not leaving. She wanted to thank the young duke, but please, the young duke must forget about her, and she also said that there will be no more phoenixes in the world! ”
Xiao He knelt dejectedly on the ground. As he listened to Feng Degui's words, he helplessly watched Feng Lingyue's corpse being carried out, covered in white cloth. He felt as if the entire world had been hollowed out.
Xiao Shan's corpse was also carried out. Xiao Zhenhai kneeled on the ground and cried bitterly.
”Xiao Shan, my eldest son, you actually left just like that!” Scoundrel! ”What a sinner!”
Within the Yi Xiu Palace.
Feng Ziyao trembled in fear, while Wenxiu stood at the side, trembling in fear as she said:
”Princess, this servant, this servant, this servant has seen it. Young Master Xiao Shan was indeed burnt to death. According to Commander Jiang of the investigation, first, he was consumed by fire, and second, the smoke was too thick. He … suffocated to death …” Right now, Commander Jiang is investigating this matter with all his might … ”
”…” When Feng Tang Yao heard this, his body went soft and he fell onto the ground, his face turned as white as a sheet of paper, ”How could this happen, how could this happen? If Feng Lingyue had died, Royal Father would probably just close his eyes and cover it up. But now, Xiao Shan has also died, so this matter will not be forgotten. ”
”It's over! ”It's over!” When Lian Zhaoyi heard this, the handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground. ”It's over!”
”Mufei, mufei, hurry and think of a way, hurry and think of a way …” Feng Yu knelt on the ground, raised his head and grabbed Lian Zhaoyi's hand, imploring bitterly, ”I don't want to be spoiled. I also don't want to lose Xiao He, mufei …”
”Pah!” Lian Zhaoyi raised his hand and viciously slapped Feng Ziyao's face, ”You're still thinking about Xiao He even at this time!”
”Mufei …” Feng Xie Yao covered her face, looking at Lian Zhaoyi in disbelief. Since she was young, she had been cared and doted upon by many, and she had never received such a beating before. Now, now …
”Don't cry! Get up and think of a way! ” Lian Zhaoyi clutched his stomach, which was starting to ache. His face contorted as he walked into the hall.
Feng Tang Yao quickly stood up and followed him in.
The night was getting darker.
Within Meng Hua Palace, Lian Ru Yue knelt before Imperial Concubine Liang and said, ”Empress, Yue Er should return home.”
Imperial Concubine Liang instructed in front of everyone, ”This palace is full of troubles. I've delayed you returning to the residence of the Prime Minister. It's getting late, so don't walk to the True Sun Sect. I'll send a sedan chair over. You sit in it and leave quietly.”
”Lady Yue'er, thank you.”
Lian Ruyue walked out of the palace and got into a sedan.
The palanquin swayed slightly as it moved along the stone path towards the outside of the palace. She slowly raised her hand, lifted the palanquin curtain, and looked towards the sky …
Outside of the palace, everything was white, and the low whimpering sounds could still be heard from afar.
Lian Ruyue sighed, put down the curtain, and said, ”From now on, there is no more Feng Linyue in the world, and everything here has nothing to do with her. Forget it all, just pretend that she never came here.”
She closed her eyes.
