Chapter 176 The Fog-shrouded Palace of Prince Mu 2
"Master Gong, my illness isn't serious, but it's Second Brother who's suffering. It seems like something happened last night. I usually go to see Father every day, but yesterday I was inexplicably blocked out during the day. They said the Prince was tired and resting. I didn't think much of it, but suddenly I heard some crazy noises at night, as if someone was talking nonsense."
Chu Feng paused, then spoke worriedly:
"Big brother, Ling Chujun, said that the crazy talk was caused by father's madness, and he replaced everyone in the palace with big brother's men. Today, big brother told everyone in the palace that until father recovers, no one is allowed to move around after dark, not even leaving their own rooms."
Chu Feng told Xue'er everything he knew. Xue'er was confused at first, but as she listened, she understood. It seemed that all this was related to the eldest prince named Ling Chujun.
It must be this person who is causing trouble here.
Xue'er and Ling Aoxue exchanged a knowing look, then Xue'er met Chu Feng's eyes and told him with an extremely firm look:
"Chu Feng, you're not feeling well, so it's not necessarily a bad thing for you to stay in the East Warm Pavilion. Just stay in your room and leave this matter to us. I will do my best to help you and your second brother."
After hearing these words, Chu Feng seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and looked at Xue'er with a very grateful expression.
Xue'er responded with a reassuring smile, and she and Ling Aoxue disappeared into the air.
Xue'er's mind was full of questions. Although she had probably guessed that Ling Chujun was behind this, the inside story was still unclear.
With the grand event that takes place every five years approaching, and such a big mess happening in Prince Mu's Mansion, how come there is no news from the outside world?
Xue'er thought that Ling Chujun must have blocked the news, but it was impossible for him to block it so completely, right?
There must be something fishy going on here?
Xue'er and Ling Aoxue went up to the roof of a courtyard. The higher they stood, the farther they could see. Xue'er could clearly see the courtyards of different sizes and heights. This palace was really unusually large, comparable to the imperial palace.
But with sharp eyes like Xue'er, she immediately locked onto a magnificent courtyard that was brightly lit.
In comparison, other courtyards only had a few dim lights. It was already late at night. Xue'er fixed her sight on Ling Aoxue, and the two of them flew towards the brightly lit courtyard in tacit understanding.
Xue'er and Ling Aoxue used their Qinggong skills to leap onto the rooftop, directly jumping over the guards standing at the door. When they reached the window, they heard a blushing voice:
"No, Jun, you've asked for it so many times, Lan'er is a little overwhelmed."
The words were spoken in a stumbling voice, and of course Xue'er and Aoxue could hear them clearly.
Aoxue's face was filled with black lines. It seemed that the lights were on not for any other reason but for doing something shameful here.
Xue'er was about to leave when she heard the next sentence, and she couldn't move her feet anymore:
"Lan'er was originally promised to Chu Yi, and now you have been possessing my body for so long. You promised to marry me in a grand wedding sedan, but when will you fulfill your promise?"
But when Xue'er heard the unique tenderness of a woman, she almost exploded with anger. Could this damn bitch be the Sister Zhen that Ling Chuchu mentioned?
Damn it, are there no good people with the word "Lan" in their names? Except for me, of course!
