After hearing the imperial edict, Xie Yan's chest tightness became even worse.

Feng Shuyao stood up in surprise, pretending to hear it for the first time:

"I am here to see Princess Zhaoyang. Your Highness, did you say that the prince wants to marry Miss Di as his concubine?"

Xie Ying glanced at Feng Shuyao. This little bitch relied on her face to fascinate her brother. The powder on her face was thicker than putty. She couldn't understand why her brother liked such a woman with makeup. She said arrogantly:

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Tomorrow, my brother will marry General Zhennan's daughter, Di Manli, as the King of Chu's concubine according to the imperial decree. I'm here to deliver the decree myself. My brother, please don't lie down. Have someone prepare for the wedding. I've also brought people to help you with the arrangements."

In the yard outside the room, there were several rows of servants standing in neat rows, all of whom were brought by Xie Ying.

Zhou Ming looked at Xie Yan in confusion: "Your Highness, this... do the servants need to prepare?"

The news is too sudden. The prince is getting married tomorrow. Is it possible to decorate the palace into a festive atmosphere in just one night?

Xie Yan didn't say anything, and Zhou Ming couldn't make up his mind.

Xie Ying threw the imperial edict into his hands, "This is the order from the emperor, just go ahead and do it."

Zhou Ming picked up the imperial edict and took a look. It was indeed a done deal, so he quickly responded:

"Yes, Princess, I will go right away."

Feng Shuyao was left there, looking at Xie Yan's disheartened look as if he didn't want to care about anything, she didn't know whether she should cry out of grievance or what to do.

A servant came to report: "Concubine, there is a lady at the door who calls herself Feng and wants to see you."

Feng Shuyao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be Feng Ruian?

"Go tell her I'm busy now and ask her to come back another day."

She has been having nightmares about Feng Chun's tragic death these past two days and doesn't want to see Feng Ruian.

Xie Ying said contemptuously: "Someone wants to see you, but you don't go to meet him. Why are you so arrogant? This princess has something to say to my brother, so don't get in the way here."

In front of Princess Zhaoyang, Feng Shuyao always kept her eyebrows down and was submissive. When she was scolded by her, she bit her lip and said:

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

She glanced at Xie Yan and went out.

Xie Yan was displeased: "Zhaoyang, you know what Shu Yao means to me, so be nicer to her."

Xie Ying said, "Brother, she is just a powerless concubine, why are you defending her? Besides, I am very polite to her for your sake. When Manli enters the palace tomorrow, you must not favor that vixen like before. Manli is your concubine, you should spend more time on her. Even if you don't like her, you should treat her with courtesy for the sake of General Zhennan. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Speaking of this, Xie Yan's anger surged up again:

"That's what you think, betraying me for Di Manli?"

Xie Ying's eyes tightened, "Brother, what did you say?"

Xie Yan said, "Di Manli used despicable means to climb into my bed. Do you think I am a fool and know nothing?"

Xie Yan became angrier and angrier as he spoke. If Di Manli and Zhao Yang had not teamed up to plot against him, he would not have been caught by Feng Qingluan and had to submit to a divorce agreement.

Seeing that he seemed to know the truth, Xie Ying's face flushed: "Brother, please listen to my explanation..."

Xie Yan said, "I don't want to hear it, Zhaoyang. I'm telling you, Di Manli married into the Chu Palace by self-degrading means. I didn't expose her because of the face of General Zhennan. Don't interfere with how I act and which woman I favor in the future!"

Xie Ying felt a chill in her heart. When her brother said this, she seemed to see the scene of Di Manli being neglected and wronged after entering the palace. She gritted her teeth secretly. Feng Shuyao, she must find a way to make that woman disappear forever!

Feng Shuyao still went out to meet Feng Ruian.

She thought that if she didn't see him this time, Feng Chun would die and she wouldn't be able to find him, so she would definitely come again.

She asked Zhinan to take Feng Ruian to a side courtyard of the palace.

"looking for me?"

Feng Shuyao said impatiently, somewhat afraid to look at Feng Ruian's face.

Feng Ruian grabbed Feng Shuyao's hand and said, "Third sister, my father is missing."

As expected, they came here for this matter. Feng Shuyao's heart was beating fast:

"Where did Third Uncle go? Why did he disappear?"

Because of the rapid blood flow caused by nervousness, Feng Shuyao's body covered with black spots became itchy, causing her to scratch involuntarily.

Feng Rui'an said: "I went to the Marquis' Mansion to look for my father, but they said he had never been there. I went to Jingzhao Prefecture to report to the authorities, but they told me to go back and wait for notification. They also told me to go to the charity cemetery if I wanted to know as soon as possible whether my father had an accident.

Several new bodies have been sent there these days. I don't believe that my father died for no reason. I don't want to go. Calculating the time, my father has been away from Muyunzhai for at least three days, so I want to ask Sister Shuyao, have you seen my father these days? Has he come to see you? "

She was very emotional and worried. Feng Shuyao suppressed her panic and said:

"I haven't seen him. Third Uncle is already a grown-up. He might have gone out to relax and come back soon. Don't worry too much. Zhinan, go get a hundred taels of silver."

She didn't want to stay with Feng Ruian any longer, so she used money to send her away.

Feng Ruian didn't expect to get so much money just for asking a question, and he smiled from ear to ear:

"Thank you, third sister. Thank you."

Feng Ruian looks most like Feng Chun when she smiles. When Feng Shuyao sees her smile, it's like she's seeing Feng Chun.

The next moment, Feng Ruian's face turned into the face of Feng Chun in her dream, the evil ghost Feng Chun with bloodshot eyes, open mouth and spitting blood, who was demanding her life. Feng Shuyao was terrified and quickly asked Zhinan to take Feng Ruian away.

After Feng Ruian left, Feng Shuyao felt panicky and short of breath. She could no longer stand. Her neck was itchy and she scratched her whole body helplessly. As she scratched, the black spots became more and more obvious. Feng Shuyao couldn't bear it anymore and fainted with a scream.

At night, Feng Qingluan had a sound sleep in the Marquis' Mansion.

The next afternoon, she took the second piece of jade mask that Xie Jin gave her and went to the Tiandi Pawn Shop.

"Boss, do you remember that I was a jade mask before? Is that jade mask still there?"

She walked in and took out the second jade mask in her hand.

The boss picked up the jade mask and examined it carefully, then looked at the previous receipt, shook his head and said:

"Miss, I'm sorry, that piece of jade has been sold."

"Sold to whom?"

The boss said, "Miss, the pearls and jades in our Tiandi Pawnshop will be sent to Yuzhen Building after being carefully selected. Miss, you can go to Yuzhen Building to take a look."

Feng Qingluan turned and went to Yuzhen Tower.

On the way, she heard people talking about the wedding taking place in Prince Chu's Palace today.

The King of Chu held a grand banquet to marry Di Manli, the daughter of General Zhennan. The people laughed and said that it was a wonderful day in the King of Chu's mansion. The King of Chu just divorced the daughter of the Feng family yesterday, and today he married the daughter of the Di family. The social circle is really chaotic.

Feng Qingluan listened and treated it all as a joke.

Not long after, she arrived at Yuzhenlou and looked for the boss. The boss saw the jade mask in her hand and said regretfully:

"I'm sorry Miss Feng, the jade mask has been sold."

Feng Qingluan asked: "Boss, can you tell me who bought it?"

The boss said in embarrassment: "Ms. Feng, this concerns the privacy of our customers. We are not in a position to talk about it. Please forgive us."

Feng Qingluan was a little unhappy because she didn't find her jade face.

When I came out of Yuzhen Building and was about to go back, I saw a familiar figure walking on the street.

Chi Guang?

Feng Qingluan was a little surprised. Wasn't he demoted to the imperial guard?

Why are you strolling around the streets instead of standing guard before the emperor?

Chi Guang looked around, guarding against something. Feng Qingluan retreated back to Yuzhen Building and waited for him to pass by before sticking her head out. He looked like he was going somewhere, so Feng Qingluan rolled her eyes and followed him.

Chi Guang entered a teahouse. Feng Qingluan looked at the name and followed him in. She saw Chi Guang went to the innermost private room on the first floor.

This room is in a very secluded location, and almost no one comes here.

Feng Qingluan caught up and tiptoed to the corner.

After a while, someone's voice came from the room: "No one is following you, right?"

Chi Guang said: "No."

Hearing this voice, Feng Qingluan felt it sounded familiar.

Chi Guang said: "Prince Rong said that you were killed by him, how come you are still alive?"

Killed by Xie Jin?

Feng Qingluan's pupils trembled, and she remembered where she had heard this voice before. She quietly stood up, poked a small hole in the window paper and looked inside.

The person sitting opposite Chi Guang was none other than Wei You, who was shot in the head by her and killed!

Feng Qingluan was shocked. What happened? Wasn’t Wei You dead?

How come he is here?
