Chapter 1569: Say it again IV

Feng Lianyi clenched her fists tightly as her breath was somewhat heavy.

“Who’s that?”

Suddenly, the woman’s ears twitched as she heard something. She turned her head in panic and looked in the direction where the sound came.

“Squeak!”

A little mouse came out, and after it saw that someone had spotted it, it hurriedly turned away and disappeared into the rat hole.

“It’s just a mouse. Why are you so jumpy?” Feng Lianyi frowned. “General Manor has always been strictly guarded. No one will dare to eavesdrop, so you don’t need to worry.”

The woman looked around in disgust. “Why is there a mouse in your room?”

“I don’t know. I’ll ask my servant to buy some rat poison later.” Feng Lianyi did not care about that.

She was not scared of mice, just a little disgusted…

At this time, a man in white robes stood at the corner of the wall outside General Manor.

He heard a squeaking sound and saw a mouse rushing to him.

A small green head came out of the man’s sleeve and looked straight down at the mouse “How’s it going? Did you find out anything?”

“Squeak…”

The little mouse squeaked.

Qing Zhu listened to it and turned to Nan Xian. “Feng Lianyi is cozying up to General Tian Ya because she seems to have some hidden secrets, but the little mouse didn’t hear those secrets.”

Nan Xian’s gaze grew colder, scaring Qing Zhu.

Qing Zhu quickly continued, “However, I found out something else. Feng Lianyi’s father brought back a woman who seems to be his first wife not long ago. Could it be Xiao Ya?”

Nan Xian did not say anything, his gaze was unreadable.

“Master… ” Qing Zhu looked at Nan Xian carefully, “Shouldn’t we go back and ask the princess for some rewards?”

As soon as it was done speaking, the coldness in the man’s eyes dissipated. He then softly responded, “Alright.”

Qing Zhu was speechless.

So, Master was silent just now because he was thinking about how be rewarded?

Nan Xian no longer said anything more. He picked Qing Zhu up and turned away, disappearing from the street…

Feng Luan Palace.

The situation was still grim.

The empress blocked the entrance to her room, not allowing anyone to come closer.

Qi Fang frowned. He seemed a bit pissed with the empress right now. However, in the end, he could not bring himself to vent his anger on her.

The palace servants and eunuchs all kneeled in fright, and no one dared to make a sound.

“Empress…” A familiar voice came from the back. “I thought that you would feel sorry for your daughter and treat her quickly, but… I didn’t expect you to be like this…” Her words dripped with sarcasm.

When the empress turned her head, she saw Noble Consort Lin with Third Prince a short distance away.

Compared to the overbearing and aggressive little prince Qi Yu and the bullying Fourth Prince, this Third Prince was much more gentle and elegant. He was the perfect candidate for the future emperor.

If there were no empress…

Qi Fang would have installed Third Prince as the crown prince.

“Empress…” Third Prince’s eyes were filled with worry. “Doesn’t Empress feel pity for Qin’er? I think Qi Yu trusts the girl in the room too much, making the empress believe in her too. Qi Yu is still young, but everyone knows he loves beauty, right? But that’s not his fault…”
