Chapter 1020 - Nothing Was Found



However, in the end, he was someone who lived in the palace and could not leave the palace easily, and even more so, he could not simply ask someone to take out any valuables from the palace, all of this was against the palace rules. He could use these items and money within the palace. It was not as if he could not transport anything out at all if he wanted to, but he had to at least wait until he established a firm foundation and had everyone acknowledge his position before doing it to smoothen the process. Therefore, with a glance, everything Zhang Yuan received was still within the house, and nothing was missing.

Feng Yu Heng did not hold back at all, and was also not afraid of being suspected, emptying the house directly. If not for the fact that she found it troublesome, she even wanted to take away those tables and chairs. But even without doing so, the current scene was guaranteed to scare Wu Ying half to death when he returned. This would definitely be investigated, but it’ll just be a case without any clues, and the investigation would yield no results.

She was very satisfied with her own achievements, clapped her hands and left, but she followed Zhang Yuan, going to the Department of Guilty Servants. Only when she saw Zhang Yuan get handed over to the palace staff of the Department of Guilty Servants by the Eunuch who led him there, and saw the person-in-charge of the Palace of Guilty Servants snobbishly throw him into a four person room in the northmost house did she sneakily follow him in.

At this hour, other than Zhang Yuan who had just came, the other guilty servants were working outside, even Zhang Yuan was only allowed to come in to change into the uniform clothes for the guilty servants and had to go out and work immediately after. She heard that more than 200 clothes were waiting for him as well as five large vats which had to be filled with water. Feng Yu Heng saw those large vats when she came in and felt that if one worked as a whole day without rest, only a maximum of two vats could be filled, having five vats was just intentionally making things difficult for others.

Zhang Yuan appeared to be in despair, staring at this dirty, cold room with a foul smell while in a daze, then he sighed heavily and started to change. Feng Yu Heng rushed to appear before he changed, covered his mouth lightly and said: “Be quiet, it’s me.”

Zhang Yuan felt that this Princess Yu was a goddess, entering without any sound. It was to be known that there were many people watching the Department of Guilty Servants and there were many palace staff who were currently working in the yard he was in, how the heck did Princess Yu come in?

Of course, he knew that the secret matters of the Master could not be asked, and he should not try to figure it out either, so he just nodded to express that he knew the identity of the other party and that he would not make any loud sounds, only then did Feng Yu Heng let him go and a small bag of silver and a few silver notes were stuffed into his hands. He listened to Feng Yu Heng say: “These were stolen from the house Wu Ying lived in, and should be what you saved up in the past, right? Don’t worry, I had stolen everything which belonged to you before and put them in a safe place. If you want them, I can pass them to you at any time and any place. Or if you are freed from this predicament one day, I can also furnish the house the exact same way as before. However, from what I can see, it’s currently not convenient to have too much money on you, leave these with you first for emergencies, give the person-in-charge of the Department of Guilty Servants one silver note with large denomination, then you can at least do away with the five vats of water.”

Zhang Yuan saw these things and his tears fell pitifully, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Feng Yu Heng, but was stopped by her. Feng Yu Heng shook her head and said: “This is not the time for courtesies, it’s more important to preserve your life. Including the people in this house, you need to give them some as small favours. As much as possible, make your life easier. Father Emperor is down is a strange illness, causing a huge change in temperament. We are all thinking of a way to have him recover as soon as possible, if you die during this period, then Father Emperor comes to his senses one day, I’m afraid he would flare up again because of you.”

Zhang Yuan wiped his tears. As he thought about that merciless old Emperor, his tears flowed in large amounts.

Feng Yu Heng did not intend to speak too much to this Eunuch, leaving the valuables behind, her figure flickered once and she left. Zhang Yuan felt his vision blur and as he rubbed his eyes, Princess Yu could not be seen. He mentally praised that the other party’s martial arts was really too good, it was just like the hidden guards around the Emperor, going around like a shadow the whole day. Thinking about what Feng Yu Heng said about the old Emperor being like that because he was inflicted with a strange illness, he could not help but worry.

Leaving the Department of Guilty Servants, Feng Yu Heng did not leave the palace immediately. She saw that the sky was already bright and heard the palace staff say that the Emperor had started the morning court session at Qian Kun Hall, which meant that he did not tire out after last night and still had energy to go to court. Therefore she changed her direction and ran towards Cun Shan Palace.

She had checked Concubine Li’s place and must also check Concubine Yuan Shu’s place. If there was really someone who raised Gu, she felt that there was a huge change that they would be hidden in Cun Shan Palace. She did not know how to deal with a Gu Master yet, so if she really found one, she would not be able to do anything to the other party and might not even be able to capture the person on the spot. But at least she needed to do as much to be adequately mentally prepared and leave to think of another plan.

However, her thoughts were still a little native. The matter she was 90% confident in, after reaching Cun Shan Palace, it fell to the last 10% percent.

There were no outsiders in Cun Shan Palace!

On other words, she searched the whole palace grounds of Cun Shan Palace, including the main hall and side halls, inside and out in a large circle, but did not discover any suspicious things at all. This Cun Shan Palace was so clean that no one could pick out anything strange. All the palace staff were normal and were all originally the ones who worked in the palace, and she could confirm that there was nothing suspicious. But this was strange! The Emperor was inflicted with Gu and had a huge change in temperament, the ones who benefited were Concubine Yuan Shu and the Eighth Prince, if Concubine Yuan Shu’s place was clean, could be it that the person was at Sheng Palace?

That’s even more impossible! If that person was really at Sheng Palace, then at the beginning, the incident when the Eight Prince was sent to the execution grounds and almost got his head cut off would not have happened. If that person wanted to act, he would have acted earlier, it was possible for them to wait until Xuan Tian Mo got into trouble before acting. In addition, when Xuan Tian Mo was locked in the death row prison, he was completely unable to communicate with the outside world.

Feng Yu Heng felt that something in this was really strange, so she did not leave and stayed to wait for Concubine Yuan Shu to return, wating to hear what she said and did in the palace.

Concubine Yuan Shu returned from Zhao He Hall and did not let Feng Yu Heng wait long, returning to the palace after a short while. But she did not do anything out of the ordinary, bathing and changing after returning, then laid on a soft daybed with two palace maids giving her a full body massage, speaking while they massaged: “Aching all over, the Emperor is really exactly the same as 20 years ago!”

The two palace maids who were massaging had sweet mouths and followed Concubine Yuan Shu’s flow, saying: “Your Highness is also no different from 20 years ago, young and charming, it’ll be strange if the Emperor doesn’t like you! This is the Emperor loving Your Highness, from this lowly one’s point of view, perhaps Your Highness can still give the Emperor a prince.”

Once she heard this, Concubine Yuan Shu could not help but cover her mouth and laugh with a kekeke. After stopping with much difficulty, she spoke again: “Forget about having a prince, the Emperor has so many sons, the Emperor might not be more pleased by giving birth to another prince. In addition, this one only looks young, my age is still there! However, I have not lacked in nutritious foods during this time, if my stomach is up to it, if I could be pregnant with a princess, then it would be considered an extremely good thing. In our Da Shun, giving birth to a prince is not a happy occasion, giving birth to a princess is a cause for celebration.”

“Yes! Your Highness will definitely give birth to a beautiful young princess! Ah no! It’s two, you’ll definitely get twins.”

The two place maids flattered Concubine Yuan Shu until she was full of smiles, but Feng Yu Heng became a little apprehensive when she heard this. She did forget about this, women in the ancient era mature early, Concubine Yuan Shu entered the palace just after reaching marriageable age at 15, even though more than 20 years had passed, after calculating, she had not reached 40 years old yet. With this age and the maintenance received in the palace, in addition to the doting she received for a few days consecutively, she might really become pregnant again. This woman was acting so arrogantly now, if she really became pregnant, the palace would really be under the control of mother and son.

Feng Yu Heng quietly decided that she would sneakily put some contraceptive medicine into the tea she drank. The method was underhanded but using it on Concubine Yuan Shu only made her feel that it was not enough, this would not dispel her hatred no matter how underhanded it was.

At this point, she stayed at Cun Shan Palace and stood guard, thinking that it was possible that the Eight Prince would head here after court ended. With the mother and son together, they might just talk about substantial topics.

At the same time, in a remote small yard within the palace, Feng Zi Rui got up from his mattress, no longer feeling sleepy.

In the end, if not for the people under Concubine Yuan Shu coming to search when he had been sleeping, he could wake up a little earlier. After all, he needed to remain wary at all times when he was staying in this palace. In addition, with the Emperor already at morning court, the more he could not laze around in bed. However, with such a disturbance last night, no one would be able to sleep properly after. In the end, Zi Rui was an 11 year old child, an age where he would be sleep deprived, that is why he got up a little later.

He sat on the mattress, his first thought being: Did older sister come last night? She probably did, right! He did not see her, but he had a feeling about it. That was his sister whose heart he was connected to, he could feel that his older sister was at his side, just that she did not appear to meet him. He also knew that his older sister definitely worried about having him stay in the palace alone, so she snuck in to see him, but also wanted him to truly grow up and face things on his own, so she chose to come but not meet him.

The corner of Zi Rui’s mouth lifted and he smiled, this feeling of having someone care for him at this time, was really good. At this moment he could feel that he was fighting side by side with his older sister and brother-in-law. This kind of battle was more covert, but this still made him feel very excited.

A short while later, a palace maid from outside pushed the door and entered, it was the young lady who kept watch overnight and talked to him.

Zi Rui watched her carry a basin of water onto the shelf and walk up to him, then she bowed first, and said: “Why don’t you sleep a little more? After that disturbance last night, you probably did not sleep enough, right?” She had a very gentle tone when speaking and the tone contained sincere concern.

Zi Rui shook his head and said: “I’m not sleeping, I’m a visitor when entering the palace, the Emperor is at morning court, how I can laze in bed? Bad living habits would be denounced by others, if this was spread, it won’t affect me that much, but people will say that my older sister did not teach me well.” After saying this, he stared at that palace maid for a while and suddenly asked: “You’re really someone sent from his Highness Fei Yu?”
