In an instant, the sky darkened, and an illusory voice resounded in his ears: "Save Qin Wu, Qin Wu is your little sister."

This faintly discernible voice was actually powerfully controlling Qin Feng's thoughts, as a basic level of consciousness gradually formed: "Save sister, Qin Wu."

"Esteemed wangfei … Esteemed wangfei …" When she heard that the wangfei had been sleeping since she returned to the Qin Manor, she hadn't shown any signs of waking up for a day. Moreover, when she came in, the wangfei's sleeping posture didn't seem like it was for her to fall asleep, but rather like someone had suddenly knocked her unconscious.

"…" No response.

Knowing that the crown prince was not crippled, the empress heaved a sigh of relief. She had to gather the imperial concubines of the imperial harem and win their hearts. "The banquet will be held today. Go and tell the imperial concubine to prepare."

He then called out, "Mu Er, go inform the concubines that I'll invite them to a gathering tonight."

In the washroom, Wan Fei was still calm and composed. She slightly squinted her eyes as she heard about the feast that the Queen was holding. It was a good show today.

Hearing Zi Ru's instructions, Qing'er saw that Liu Fei's maid, Cui Er, was walking over. She hurriedly pulled Zi Ru over. "Miss Zi Ru, have you heard about the news about the crippled crown prince?"

Turning his head, he feigned surprise: "Crippled crown prince? "Why?"

While listening to their conversation, Cui'er hid behind the pillar and eavesdropped.

Staring at the corner of the pillar, he followed Qing`er's steps and said, "I heard that he committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor!"

Seeing the two of them leave, Cui'er secretly followed them. Crippled crown prince, the master of her family had even helped the empress make connections yesterday.

"Actually, the one who controlled the plague was the Fourth Princess, not the Crown Prince!" Qing'er's voice was not loud, but Cui'er could hear it clearly.

When he was done, he said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense and be careful not to lose your head."

The shadow behind him disappeared. "Miss, what should we do next?"

With a faint smile, he gave Qing`er a piece of silver and said, "Go back and wait for news."

Cui'er hurriedly returned to Liu Fei's side and whispered into her ear what she had heard today.

Concubine Liu was greatly shocked. No wonder the empress had suddenly expressed her goodwill towards her. So it was like this. "Did you see clearly that they were palace maids from that palace?"

Cui'er shook her head. She could only see two figures, but not the front. "Look at their clothes, it looks like they are from the Kunning Palace."

That's right, seeing that his concubines were still helping the empress like he was, it seemed like they didn't know either. Only the empress knew about this, so it was reasonable for her to pass through her palace.

No, if the crown prince was crippled, then the position of crown prince would be vacated. Maybe he would have hope.

Dammit, I was lucky enough to have no conclusion to today's discussion, so I almost helped her out. "Cui Er, just a short message from you to the Liu Estate and you are determined to cripple the crown prince."

He turned around and thought for a moment. No, it would be difficult to fight alone. He had to let the other concubines know about this. "Little Li, get rid of the empress dowager and the other palaces and inform them that the crown prince is deceiving the sovereign. The emperor wishes to cripple the crown prince."

Suddenly, the harem erupted. Upon hearing of this, all the consorts rejected the empress's invitation because they had matters to attend to. They felt even more furious towards the empress, suppressed the rage in their hearts, and began to pull some helpers.

"Reporting to the empress, the good concubine said she's not feeling well and won't be coming either!" Eunuch Lu braced himself carefully to report.

Pa! The empress slammed her palm on the table, causing a resounding sound to ring out. The sound shook the room, causing everyone to tremble with fear as they knelt down in unison, "Empress, you have to atone for your sins."

Forget it, he still had Wan Fei, Chen Fei, and Imperial Consort Li. With their power, his position as the crown prince would be safe.

With a face full of unwillingness, Chen Fei walked to the smiling Wanfei's side. "How has Wanfei been recently?"

Lifting his head, he saw the unresigned look on Chen Fei's face as she formed a fist with her hand. He sighed in his heart and nodded. "Not bad, just that Chen Fei should smile more."

With Wan Fei's reminder, Chen Fei regained her senses. She was still in the Kunning Palace, so she smiled.

In the darkness, a red hand suddenly appeared and pulled Qin Feng tightly. "Save me, save me!"

Shocked by the strange scene, Qin Feng held onto her chest and asked calmly: "Save who?"

In the darkness, an ethereal voice called out, "Qin Wu!"

In the night, a nimble figure climbed over the building and came to the door. Just as his hand touched the door, he was reprimanded by a voice. "Who are you?"

When he turned around, he thought that the woman in white was pointing a sword at him. As it was dark, he couldn't see her face clearly.

Murong Feng raised his hand: "The person who saved the lives of everyone in the room."

What? Qin Chen was startled. How did he know about the wangfei's situation? Puzzled, she asked, "Turn around, who are you?"

obediently turned around and took the chance when Qin Chen wasn't resting to instantly move in front of her, sealing her acupuncture points.

Inwardly, he felt helpless. She didn't have any inner strength, yet he was almost captured by her.

In order to not attract attention, he carried Qin Chen to her room and placed her to the side. He then went forward to check on Qin Feng's symptoms.

He opened his eyes, and it was as he had expected. His eyes were filled with white light, and he had no eyeballs.

Seeing that she did not have eyes, Qin Chen was shocked, she opened her mouth, but could not make a sound, nor could she move, her face completely red.

As he lifted up the hair by his ear, a strange red dot appeared, emitting a bewitching red light in the night.

Murong Feng frowned, it was really a technique, he did not expect the Ke Clan's people to join in, it seemed like they were chasing after him, it was just that the Ke Clan's people did not come out of nowhere to hurt others, did she offend the Ke Clan's people?

He turned around, removed Qin Chen's acupoints and asked softly: "Have you guys offended anyone?"

Qin Chen, who was still in shock, could not react and could only shake her head. As an assassin, she did not know either.

Qin Chen moved her hands and feet, and suddenly rushed forward to retrieve his handkerchief, but Murong Feng agilely avoided it. As she was dying, a fragrant aroma drifted over, it seemed that this person had a solution to the matter with the wangfei, and would have to control him first.

Murong Feng was caught off guard by the overwhelming dizziness and exclaimed: "What did you do?"

As he turned around, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a bloodthirsty smile. He raised his feet and whispered into Murong Feng's ears: "Have you heard of oleander?"

Boom, a dull thud in the head, the oleander is also known as the willow leaf peach, poisonous, contains strong heart poison glycosides, the effect of the oleander is the same as digitalis, dry 3 grams can kill a person.

A quarter of an hour after poisoning, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, dysrhythmias, slow, irregular heartbeats, finally ventricular fibrillation, syncope, convulsions, coma, or tachycardia, ectopic rhythm, and death from circulatory failure.

Using inner force to suppress the poison, he grabbed Qin Chen's neck: "Hand over the antidote, or else I'll kill you, and her."

Following the direction in which Murong Feng pointed, Qin Feng was still firmly asleep.

He struggled to squeeze out a hoarse voice from his throat. "I'll give you the antidote after you save the wangfei."

Bang, after losing Murong Feng's imprisonment, Qin Chen heavily fell to the ground, and released a loud and clear sound.

Letting go of Qin Chen, Murong Feng turned around: "Sure, but you have to first save the person that saved her."

Qin Chen stood up indifferently, and immediately understood what Murong Feng meant. So it turned out that he had come for a favor.

Princess Hua-Yang's illness was too strange for her to hesitate. "What's going on?"

"It's a poison unique to the Ke Clan, Ice and Fire." Murong Feng said faintly.

What? Ke? That race that played with Gu in the palm of their hand, those people there were all poisoned, the person that could be fatal if they were lightly hit, that existence that would make people tremble just by hearing about it.

People in the martial arts world didn't run away in a hurry, so how could he easily interfere. He looked at the sleeping wangfei and nodded as his duty was to protect her.

After handing the antidote over to Murong Feng, she followed him out.

Upon returning to the palace, the palace maid sent a message, "Please wait for another day."

After protecting the crown prince tomorrow, Qin Feng had almost healed all of the people here. Granny Ya was already prepared, and Qin Wu could come out shortly.

On the way back to the palace, Chen Fei pulled Wanfei over and whispered, "Wan Fei knows about the crown prince's deceit."

Glancing at the impatient Chen Fei, she said with a smile, "The news of Madame Liu has spread throughout the entire harem, how could I not know?"

Following closely behind Wan-fei, Chen Fei asked, "Then Wan-fei still wants to protect the crown prince?"

"The plan can't keep up with change!" After saying that, Wanfei left in a hurry, no longer paying attention to the stunned Chen Fei.

When they returned to the palace, Zi Ru came over to welcome them. "It's the Empress's good fortune."

He impatiently looked at Zi Ru and yelled, "Quickly tell me, what did Liu Fei and the others do?"

After being invited by the empress and consort Liu at the same time, Wanfei personally went to the empress's place and had her personal maidservant, Zi Ru, go to the empress's place.

"Empress Dowager Ri, if you break the law, then forgive this citizen for his crimes!" Zi Ru spoke with dignity.

Ye Zichen nodded. During the night, outside the palace, the Prime Minister's Residence was in a state of fervor. The maids and eunuchs were all busy.

In the great hall, Wen Ren and General Qin both opposed the crippled crown prince. In order to explain the situation to the Soaring Wind Kingdom, he gave the imperial edict: "Obey the fate of the heavens, the emperor summons the emperor, the crown prince is impolite and useless.

In just a short period of time, the news had spread throughout the capital. There were many streets, alleys, teahouses, taverns, and even the insides of the palace.

The streets were filled with joyous celebrations. Only the Qin Residence, the Peace Palace, and the government officials were in a gloomy mood.

The empress couldn't do anything about the sudden defection of Wan-fei and Chen Fei, but there was a reason for the sudden defection of the consorts …

The only one who knew that the crown prince was trying to bully the emperor was Chen Fei, so where else could the rumors come from? "Someone, invite Chen Fei."

Still immersed in the crown prince's joy, Chen Fei was forcefully brought to the Kunning Palace, "How dare you, Chen Fei, spread rumors everywhere, it's very disturbing."

Ordinary Concubine Chen quickly kneeled down and shouted, "Empress, please clear this up. It wasn't me who spread the rumours. It was Concubine Liu's maidservant who spread them around."

How could Liu Fei know? With that, he let Chen Fei go for the time being and gathered all the consorts at the Kunning Palace.

The empress's gaze was fierce, and a threatening chill rose from her heart. "Concubine Liu, are you guilty?"

Liu Fei, who was still confused, laid on the ground and shook her head.

Bang! A tea cup broke into pieces in front of everyone's eyes, scaring them out of their wits and causing them to become cautious.

"Rumors started all over the palace yesterday, saying that the Crown Prince was deceiving the Emperor. Why aren't you admitting your wrongs?"

After being reminded by the empress, all the consorts pushed the blame onto Madame Liu. She rejected the empress's invitation yesterday, and then the consort came forward and said, "Reporting to the empress, there was a report yesterday from Madame Liu's maidservant that the crown prince was deceiving the monarch."

Someone started the scene, and the others followed closely behind, accusing Madame Liu of being a criminal.
