Emperor Xia Ming and Concubine Xiang left. Xie Jin looked at Feng Qingluan. Feng Qingluan nodded, and he also left with Ji Shu.

Most of the people standing in front of Yaoguang Palace had left.

Originally Feng Qingluan was convicted and secretly released from prison to treat Zhaoyang's leg. Since Xie Jin caught the real murderer who killed the queen and no one cared, Feng Qingluan was relieved.

After Emperor Xia Ming and Xie Jin left one after another, Concubine Ru stood up with the help of the nanny.

As Feng Qingluan passed by and walked into the palace, he said coldly:

"Come in with me."

In the room, Xie Ying was sitting on the bed.

Feng Qingluan put a plaster cast on her leg and told her not to come out no matter what happened outside.

Xie Ying heard that her father had brought people to catch Feng Qingluan who had escaped from prison, and also heard that Prince Rong had caught the real murderer and there was a heated debate outside. She really wanted to go and take a look.

But she couldn't walk, and she was anxiously waiting for the matter to be over so that someone could come in and tell her about the situation.

Seeing Concubine Ru coming in, followed by Feng Qingluan, Xie Ying said happily:

"Mother, is everything settled?"

Seeing her daughter on the bed, Concubine Ru's face turned cold.

"All of you, get off."

The palace servants filed out.

The only people left in the room were Ru Fei, Feng Qingluan and Xie Ying.

Ru Fei asked Feng Qingluan coldly:

"Did you really stay in the room to treat Xie Ying's injuries during the previous hour? Did you not sneak out to save Yun Huaiyin?"

Xie Ying was stunned. Did her mother know about Huai Yin's situation?

She wanted to explain, but Concubine Ru ordered:

"Don't interrupt me, I'm asking Feng Qingluan!"

Feng Qingluan remained calm and composed:

"Your Majesty, I was treating the princess's leg injury in the room. The princess can testify that I have never left Yaoguang Palace."

Xie Ying nodded quickly:

"Mother, you misunderstood Feng Qingluan. She was indeed in the room the whole time. If you don't believe me, look at my daughter's legs. She has taken care of it. Feng Qingluan definitely did not go out. I can prove it for her!"

Neither of them admitted that Feng Qingluan had left the room, and Concubine Ru softened her attitude:

"Okay, I believe you. What Ji Shu said was very unfavorable to me. The point Feng Qingluan mentioned at the end dispelled most of the suspicion of me in His Majesty's mind. Thank you."

Feng Qingluan raised her eyebrows.

Will the high and mighty Concubine Ru thank her one day?

The sun rises from the west?

"Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me. Everyone present can see that Ji Shu has framed you. I believe Your Majesty knows what is going on."

Ru Fei was worried:

"So what if he knows it? With His Majesty's obsession with Xiang Fei, if Prince Rong can interrogate Ji Shu and find out that it was Xiang Fei who ordered her to kill the Queen, perhaps His Majesty can be angry with her. Otherwise, His Majesty will not blame Xiang Fei. Xiang Fei escaped this disaster, and the next person she will get rid of may be me."

In Ru Fei's opinion, she was sure that it was Xiang Fei who ordered Ji Shu to kill people.

After getting rid of the Queen, the highest-ranking person in the harem, she will be the biggest target next, and Xiang Fei will definitely deal with her!

Feng Qingluan said: "Please trust His Royal Highness Prince Rong, he will definitely find out the real culprit, and your Highness and the princess will be safe."

Ru Fei sighed, "I hope so."

Gui Ren failed in his attempt to assassinate Feng Qingluan and was instead killed by Xie Jin on a busy street.

When King Jing heard the news, he slammed his fist on the table.

"Prince Rong, you have ruined my good deeds!"

The following report:

"Your Highness, according to eyewitnesses on the street, when Prince Rong was fighting Ghost Blade, there was a masked woman beside him. That person must be Feng Qingluan, but she didn't show her face. Even if we knew it was her, we couldn't prove that Feng Qingluan escaped from prison to save people. It's a pity that we couldn't kill Feng Qingluan this time."

Prince Jing had a gloomy look on his face and was about to go into the palace to inform Concubine Xiang about this matter.

Before he walked out the door, a servant came in and reported:

"Your Highness, something happened in the palace. Prince Rong caught the murderer of the Queen in the Crimson Purple Pavilion of Concubine Xiang. It was Concubine Xiang's personal maid Ji Shu. Your Majesty is angry. Ji Shu has been taken to the Heavenly Prison for interrogation by Prince Rong."

"What? Ruchu would never kill the queen. I will enter the palace immediately!"

Qiankun Palace.

When Emperor Xia Ming woke up, he encountered two troubles and was exhausted, so he asked Xiang Fei to play the piano to help him sleep.

As the music of the zither played, Emperor Xia Ming gradually fell into sleep.

After making sure that he was asleep, Xiang Fei walked out of the room.

The palace maid came to report: "Madam Xiang Fei, His Royal Highness Prince Jing is waiting for you in the garden."

Disgust flashed in Xiang Fei's eyes. Xie Ji, that idiot, failed to kill Feng Qingluan and yet came to see her at this time.

This is in the emperor's palace, don't cause trouble for her!

Xiang Fei went to the garden and saw Xie Ji. Her cold expression softened:

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

King Jing said, "I heard that your maid was arrested, so I came to see you. Did she not frame you?"

Xiang Fei said aggrievedly:

"Your Highness Prince Rong knows that Feng Qingluan and I are not on good terms. If he catches the murderer in my palace, he will most likely use some means to make Ji Shu testify that I was the one who asked her to kill the queen. Your Highness, please save me."

King Jing clenched his fists:

"Prince Rong will definitely do that! If he forces Ji Shu to confess, he can help Feng Qingluan get rid of you. Ji Shu is yours. If you are willing to let her go, I can make her unable to say anything!"

Xiang Fei squeezed out a few tears from her eyes:

"Ji Shu is my good sister. We depended on each other outside the palace and came all the way to the capital. I really don't want her to be taken advantage of and suffer too much. If possible, please let her pass away peacefully."

King Jing said distressedly: "If Ruochu is kind and cares about her like this, I will send someone to do it."

Xiang Fei cried and asked:

"By the way, when I went to the Heavenly Prison to capture Feng Qingluan, Feng Qingluan appeared in Princess Zhaoyang's room. Did your highness' plan to assassinate her fail?"

Speaking of this, I get angry. King Jing said:

"I asked Feng Qingluan to rescue Yun Huaiyin alone, but the woman led Xie Jin there as well. She wore a mask on the street, so no one saw her face and could not testify. If you miss this opportunity, I will definitely kill her next time. Don't worry."

Xiang Fei wiped away her tears:

"With your words, I feel relieved. His Majesty is sleeping soundly. To avoid suspicion, Your Highness should leave Qiankun Palace as soon as possible."

King Jing kissed her forehead:

"Okay, if you have any difficulties in the palace, just tell me. I'm leaving first."

He left after saying this.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from behind the big tree behind the two of them.

Xiang Fei's eyes turned cold, and she looked over there, and saw a woman's figure running towards the main hall.

Like a concubine?

Was she seen?

Concubine Ru's heart was beating like thunder. What did she see?

Xiang Fei and Prince Jing were having an affair, and they were hugging and kissing each other, what was going on!

After Concubine Ru finished asking Feng Qingluan questions, she thought about how Concubine Xiang was serving the emperor and wanted to prevent her from whispering something unfavorable to her, so she also came to the Qiankun Palace to see His Majesty.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the palace, the eunuch of the Yuan Dynasty said that the emperor had already gone to bed.

Concubine Ru was feeling depressed and was relaxing in the courtyard. When she turned around, she saw Concubine Xiang and Prince Jing together.

She recalled seeing Xiang Fei and another figure talking in the corridor in Chengguang Palace. Thinking back, that person should also be Prince Jing!

Because she was too shocked, Concubine Ru accidentally stepped on a stone and made a noise. She was afraid of being exposed and left quickly.

She heard the conversation between the two people. They were plotting to kill Feng Qingluan. She had to tell Feng Qingluan about this as soon as possible so that she could be on guard!

When Xiang Fei saw that the escaping figure was Ru Fei, her eyes turned cold.

This person can't stay!

Prince Jing also discovered that someone had seen them and wanted to chase them. Xiang Fei said:

"Your Highness, leave that person to me. You should not stay here any longer. Leave now."

King Jing said: "But..."

Xiang Fei's voice suddenly became cold: "Go!"

King Jing had never seen Liu Ruochu so powerful before, and was somewhat shocked:

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

He left Qiankun Palace.

Xiang Fei had a cold expression on her face, and immediately chased in the direction of Ru Fei!
