C89 Investigation (V)

From afar, they could hear the sound of a zither that was as smooth as water resounding in the Eastern Palace. It was as if spring wind was blowing across the fields, and it was also like the surging tides. Sometimes it was as clear as jade, sometimes it would spin low, and sometimes it seemed like it was mumbling. The sound of this zither was extremely pure, able to calm one's heart in an instant and allow them to enjoy their afternoon leisure time.

The makeup was as simple and elegant as her clothes, giving off a very quiet and comfortable feeling. The white-clothed woman's fingers lightly strummed the strings of her zither, causing a beautiful melody to immediately ring out. The fine strands of hair on her forehead also slowly scattered along with the tune, and the woman was extremely engrossed in the bullets.

Not far away stood a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes. Due to anger and jealousy, her face was so distorted that it was terrifying. But she stubbornly stared at the two people in the pavilion, unwilling to leave.

After the song ended, bursts of applause came from the pavilion …

"Good, this is really good. My Yue'er is really good. Every time I hear her playing, I feel my body and mind become much happier and my breathing become much smoother."

Xuanyuan Qingtian stood up and clapped his hands. He walked in front of Qin Yue and supported her carefully, sitting on the bench.

"To be able to relieve Your Highness's worries is Your Highness's fortune, and also your concubine's duty. If Your Highness feels that Qin Yue's zither music can relieve Your Highness' worries, then Your Highness will frequently come to your concubine's place, and your concubine is willing to serve Your Highness."

Qin Yue was a girl from an official's family who knew her place. She had always liked to learn from her husband since she was young, and every woman yearned for it. She was no exception. Although she had entered the Eastern Palace and shared a man with the crowd, her character was not very good, and she looked down on everything. This was one of the main reasons why Xuanyuan Qingtian liked her so much.

"In the end, Yue'er is still very obedient. As long as I have time in the future, I will definitely visit you."

Xuanyuan Qingtian lifted his arm and embraced the weak Qin Yue in his embrace. Xuanyuan Qingtian always felt that Qin Yue was a breeze in the Eastern Palace.

The usually rebellious and unruly Crown Prince now had such a gentle side to him. He used to think that people like him only cared about benefits and not emotions. Now it seemed that this was not the case. It was truly amazing!

"But Your Highness, you must not only pamper your concubine, this way the other sisters will definitely be dissatisfied. Even though Your Highness is very busy, your concubine will still have to ask Your Highness for your love."

Qin Yue raised her head, her clear and limpid eyes blinking as she looked at Xuanyuan Qingtian, causing Xuanyuan Qingtian's heart to feel like it was going to melt. How could such a sensible and cute girl not be pampered by her side?

"This crown prince naturally knows what to do." The hand holding Qin Yue tightened.

The woman in the corner saw the two people in the pavilion snuggling together, and clenched her fists, slowly opening them up, and using all her strength to buckle the pillar beside her. That pillar was truly pitiful, there were fingernails marks all over her body, and the woman's blood was flowing all over the pillar, as she heard the woman's gnashing teeth: Qin Yue, you slut, stop pretending, you dare snatch the crown prince from me, I'll teach you a lesson in the future. With that, she left in anger.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

The servant did not continue, he paused for a moment and glanced at Qin Yue who was at the side.

Qin Yue had a good eye for such things. After giving a slight bow, she left.

After Qin Yue left, the person continued: "The informant came to report, Xuanyuan Zhan just got some clues, they were immediately expelled by the town's patriarch, I think it would be difficult to find any more clues."

That Xuanyuan Zhan wouldn't be able to find any clues. When the time limit was right, royal father would definitely take him as a question, to punish him with death, and then see how he would refute it.

"Hahaha, send someone to watch his every move. If there is any news, report it to me at any time!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The current Xuanyuan Qingtian was in a great mood, if he did not investigate carefully, then he reckoned that a great calamity had struck Xuanyuan Zhan. At that time, when royal father handed over the responsibility of investigating the ancient town to Xuanyuan Zhan, he was still indignant, thinking that the emperor did not trust him anymore, and had regarded Xuanyuan Zhan as a threat. Recently, he had always placed his hopes on Xuanyuan Zhan, and he had even been depressed about it for a few days inside the palace.

As Xuanyuan Qingtian sat in the pavilion, the gentleness in his eyes had long since disappeared, leaving behind only benefits and insidiousness. It was as if this gaze was the most suitable for Xuanyuan Qingtian's evil face.

As Ling Weigongzhu sat in his room, her heart had long ago drifted to Xuanyuan Zhan. She thought to herself: No matter what, I have to go to the border to find Xuanyuan Zhan. Ling Weigongzhu tiptoed to the door and peeked her head out. Realizing that there was no one around, she sneaked out, but before she could step out of the room, she was stopped.

"Princess, this subordinate has been ordered by the fourth prince to protect Ling Weigongzhu."

Ling Weigongzhu returned to her room dejectedly. It seemed that Liang Yu still did not believe him, so he was still sent to watch her. When Ling Weigongzhu thought about how she had angered her brother just now, she thought to herself: Wait for the chance to take action again!

Ling Weigongzhu sat in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside. Suddenly, she thought of the three golden leaves. She couldn't help but be anxious. After thinking about it carefully, when did she lose it?

It was that day! narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning sharp. All along, Ling Weigongzhu had thought that what happened that day was just a dream and that it was not true, but in reality, his three golden leaves had disappeared.

Someone must have been teasing him on purpose. Who was it? Ling Weigongzhu thought: Could it be that man from that night? However, she quickly dispelled that thought. The person already warned her that she wouldn't use such a senseless method.

Looking at the small figure of the ghost deceiver, Ling Weigongzhu could tell that it was a woman just by looking at it. Furthermore, from the sound of the deceiving, she was certain that it was a woman, thinking: If it's a woman, then it's very easy to guess who it is.

Ling Weigongzhu gnashed her teeth in anger. She actually used such a despicable method to scare him, but how did she know about her past? Or could it be that all of this was just a coincidence?

Ling Weigongzhu was angered to the point that her soul had left her body after being scared witless by such a small trick. She felt that there was no chance of success, when he saw her next time, she would definitely take it back!

However, Ling Weigongzhu thought about it in a flash, why would she want to take away the three golden leaves?

No, I have to get it back as soon as possible.

Inside Drunken Xiang Restaurant

"Men, serve me some wine!"

He saw a man reeking of alcohol sitting in a private room, shouting loudly. He did not care about the others who were eating with him and was even cursing.

"Young Master Feng, you drank too much today. Why don't I call someone to escort young master back?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I asked you to serve the wine, the wine, and the wine! Hurry up and go!"

Feng Mengzhi stood up drunkenly, but he had already lost his balance a long time ago. He staggered from side to side, staring at the waiter, and said angrily.

"To be honest, Young Master Feng, you have already used up all your silver today. If you keep on drinking, I will have to go to the mansion to ask for more silver. Young Master, you should still go."

The waiter was still advising Feng Mengzhi for his own good. Unexpectedly, Feng Mengzhi did not appreciate his kindness, and went forward to give the waiter a kick, sending him out of the door. The waiter cried out in pain.

"Hurry up and get me some wine!"

The people below the Drunken Xiang Tower all looked at Feng Mengzhi, who was upstairs, and discussed amongst themselves, pointing at him. Feng Mengzhi looked and ignored them, then returned to his private box.

"Look, that person just now is the concubine of the Feng Residence. He is really not trying at all. Sigh."

"That's right, look at him, he doesn't look like a young master from a wealthy family at all. "I've really lost my mind to the Feng family."

The group of people downstairs were all discussing Feng Mengzhi.

Those people had long heard that Feng Mengzhi was a playboy who only ate, drank, and gambled all day to ruin the Feng Family's reputation.

"You don't say. He's the same as the legends. I heard that he hasn't married yet!"

"Look, just like him, which girl is willing to marry him?"

Feng Mengzhi, who was drinking, heard all the discussions going on downstairs. A sharp look flashed across his eyes, and in the next moment, they disappeared. He became as cynical as before.

A hurried figure ran into Drunken Xiang Restaurant and rushed towards Feng Mengzhi's private box.

"Young master, don't drink anymore. Drinking is harmful to your body. Drink like this every day. Be careful of your body!"

Feng Mengzhi only raised his head to look at the child for a moment before continuing with his drinking.

"Young master, even if you don't care about your own body, you still have to consider the face of the old master. If the old master sees the young master looking like this again, he will inevitably blame the young master."

After Feng Mengzhi heard it, he put the cup down, as if it had touched his heart.

Seeing that, the little boy quickly pulled Feng Mengzhi and headed towards the door of Drunken Xiang Restaurant.

But who knew that right after arriving at the gates of the Phoenix Palace, she would see Feng Haotian walking out, and coincidentally was acting like a drunk person. When Feng Haotian saw that Feng Mengzhi once again smelled the smell of his own wine, he became extremely angry.

He walked up to Feng Mengzhi and pointed at his nose as he scolded: "You unfilial son, as a descendant of my Feng Family, you have been doing well every single time. You only know how to spend and drink without learning anything, and throw my Feng Family's face away.

Feng Haotian had long hated this son of his, he felt that Feng Mengzhi did not lack the charisma of the Feng Family, he only knew how to spend silver all day long to cause trouble, but he only had this one son of his.
