”What, why are you so free to come to my place today?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed blandly, raising his wine cup to toast with Xuanyuan Yufeng.
Xuanyuan Yufeng laughed heartily and raised his cup to drink with Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”Fourth Brother, I have something to discuss with you this time.”
As Xuanyuan Yufeng said this, the smile on his face gradually cooled down.
Seeing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that Xuanyuan Yufeng must have something important to discuss, so he too, revealed a complicated look in his eyes.
”I knew that you wouldn't come here without reason.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled faintly and put down the wine cup. His eyes quickly swept across Qin Feng's body.
”Fourth Brother, what are you looking at Fourth Sister for? Could it be that you have become a strict married woman? ”
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Yufeng started to joke around with Qin Feng.
”Kid, why are you so shameless when compared to your Fourth Brother?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling rolled his eyes at Xuanyuan Yufeng, and said with a smile.
However, a complex expression quickly flashed across Xuanyuan Yufeng's eyes, because he clearly felt that compared to last time, Xuanyuan Zhiling and Qin Feng's relationship seemed to be even more harmonious.
From time to time, the two of them would interact with each other, full of love and tacit understanding.
When he thought of this, a burst of bitterness rose in Xuanyuan Yufeng's heart.
”Why aren't you drinking?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling raised his cup again, but discovered that Xuanyuan Yufeng was in a daze, and asked with a smile.
”Alright, today I will accompany Fourth Brother to have a good drink.”
Xuanyuan Yufeng quickly retracted his emotions and looked at Xuanyuan Zhiling with a smile.
At the table, Xuanyuan Yufeng and Xuanyuan Zhiling drank a few cups. Since Xuanyuan Yufeng had something to discuss, the two of them did not drink much.
After they finished drinking, Xuanyuan Zhiling and Xuanyuan Yufeng sat in the great hall. As the host, Xuanyuan Zhiling sat in the upper seat, while Xuanyuan Yufeng sat in one of the two rows of chairs beneath him.
”Fifth Brother, why have you come to find me this time?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling slightly frowned. From the moment Xuanyuan Yufeng walked into the Duke Palace, he had realized that this was definitely not a small matter.
Qin Feng walked in while carrying the tea, but she kept the words that was about to come out of her mouth.
”Why do I have to trouble Fourth Sister to personally send the tea over?”
Xuanyuan Yufeng laughed and said, maybe this was the only way he could talk to Qin Feng now.
”You're being so courteous to us?”
Qin Feng gave a bland laugh, but her face still carried a trace of coldness.
After Xuanyuan Yufeng heard this, a complex emotion quickly flashed past his eyes.
Qin Feng's words made Xuanyuan Yufeng's heart slightly tremble. It seems like his intuition was right, their relationship had really improved.
”Of course you have to be polite. In front of the four imperial concubines, there's no need to be in front of the Fourth Brother.”
Xuanyuan Yufeng said with a smile.
”Yes, what can't I say in front of Fourth Brother?”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his expression quickly revealed a smile.
”Fourth Brother, this time, I came mainly because I have something to tell you.”
When Xuanyuan Yufeng said this, he had long cleaned up his emotions.
”I know this is unusual. We'll have a good chat in the study later.”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he quickly revealed a complicated expression.
”Alright.”
When Xuanyuan Yufeng said this, his eyes quickly swept across Qin Feng's body, and just happened to meet Qin Feng's gaze. The two of them felt a burst of awkwardness.
When the two of them arrived at the study room, Xuanyuan Zhiling specially brought Qin Feng there.
”Fifth royal brother, you can say it now, right?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling made Xuanyuan Zhiling sit opposite of him, and said with a serious expression.
Xuanyuan Yufeng sighed, a complicated expression quickly sweeping across his face.
”I wonder if Fourth Brother has been to the palace recently?”
Xuanyuan Yufeng did not go straight to the point and started laughing.
”You asked me about it even though you knew I hadn't gone to the palace?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled faintly, but he knew clearly in his heart that this was definitely a matter for the father.
”Did something happen in the palace?”
Qin Feng suddenly interrupted. She frowned, obviously realizing something.
”Nothing happened at the palace, but a storm is coming soon.”
When Xuanyuan Yufeng said till here, his expression quickly became serious.
After Qin Feng heard this, her brows furrowed even more.
”Has something happened to the Emperor?”
Qin Feng's voice was ice-cold, because Qin Feng realized that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Xuanyuan Yufeng and Xuanyuan Zhiling were both slightly startled. Although they had some understanding about Qin Feng's judgement a long time ago, this time Qin Feng wanted to be in front of them.
”I can't help but admire your judgement. That's right, it's because of the father.”
As Xuanyuan Yufeng said this, he had a complicated expression on his face, as if he had thought of something serious.
”What happened in the father?”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his expression quickly became serious.
Qin Feng was also nervously staring at Xuanyuan Yufeng.
”father's body has been getting worse and worse ever since he was poisoned last time. The imperial doctors were helpless to do anything about it.”
When Xuanyuan Yufeng said till here, he started to become gloomy. Although Xuanyuan Mocheng did not succeed last time, it still caused great harm to the emperor's body.
”That's right, the poison of the Voodoo Gu is extremely harmful to the human body. Furthermore, the Emperor is already old.”
Qin Feng let out a light sigh, and a trace of regret flashed past her face.
Xuanyuan Zhiling and Xuanyuan Yufeng sighed softly after hearing this.
”If you say it like that, Fifth Brother, then danger is coming.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly realised something, he knew that there would be chaos in the imperial court again.
”Fourth Brother, I came here to ask you, what are you planning to do?”
