In the horse carriage, Qu Jingxi carefully placed the person in his embrace onto the soft couch.

Afraid that it would be uncomfortable if she directly fell asleep, Qu Jingxi very kindly placed her head on his lap. The big hand naturally took hold of the softness at her side.

The weather gradually turned cold, and so did that girl's hands. Since when was she so weak?

The man seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.

Well, then he could take care of her.

A pair of eyes from afar quickly retreated, ensuring Feng Xiwu's safety. The black wolf had already appeared in Feng Chaoying's study room at the fastest speed possible.

”General,” the indifferent man said, kneeling on one knee with complete respect.

”Miss entered the palace today. The Emperor was extremely courteous to her, but I think it was due to the Prince Jing, but the empress …”

Then, he reported everything that had happened in the Cheng Ming Palace to the General Feng on the desk.

However, he couldn't figure it out. Other than the people at the empress's side, there was no movement on the Mu Family side.

Their movements were extremely covert, and after so long, he was still unable to discover anything. Even the only clue he had was within the palace.

The relationship between the ministers of the imperial court was complicated. Many of them were related to the concubines of the imperial concubines. It would not be an easy task to clear his meridians in a short period of time.

”What did you say?!”
