Chapter 114: Palace Changes

Qing Feng gave birth to a princess and even though it was not as glorifying as giving birth to a prince, the Empress Dowager and Empress came to congratulate with the concubines. Yan Hong Tian also came over to see her a few times. Perhaps it was because she felt guilty for changing the baby, Qing Feng would pretend to be sleeping most of the times. Yan Hong Tian would not disturb her sleep and left after seeing his daughter.

This morning, when Qing Feng was carrying the baby girl to play on the bed, Yan Hong Tian suddenly came. Not sure if it was that he did not rest well, his expression was not good but he had some joy. He strode to Qing Feng’s bed and sat in front of it and smiled, “Three days ago, your Eldest Sister gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins.”

Chapter 113: A Presumptuous Request (Part 2)

In the spacious room, there was a beautiful carved wooden screen in the middle, dividing the room into two. There were only two lamps in the room which was not bright at all. A barely visible female sat on the couch with a cup of tea in her hands, was portraying some laziness while a flustered male paced the other side of the screen in stark contrast.

“That Qing Mo is pushing in every step and actually investigate into the guards. If this continued on, sooner or later she would investigate me!” After the last time Yi Yue heard his and Shui Xin conversation, he now no longer dare to speak casually outside. Thus he came over secretly tonight as he was upset and wanted to discuss it with Shui Xin.

Chapter 112: A Presumptuous Request (Part 1)

As the weather becomes cooler, Qing Feng also became sleepier than usual. Usually she woke up after half a Shichen (1 shichen = 2 hours) during her afternoon nap but lately would sleep an entire Shichen and was still unwilling to wake up. After opening her eyes and stretch, Qing Feng looked out the window and saw that the sky had turned red. She actually slept the entire afternoon?

She pushed the quilt away and was preparing to get out of the bed for a walk when suddenly the door was pushed open and Ru Yi ran in. Seeing her awake, she anxious spoke, “Your Ladyship, something went wrong…”

Chapter 111: Gu Yun’s Discovery

After the persons outside the cell left, Gu Yun and Zhuo Qing looked into the room which was completely engulfed in darkness. They just stood there like that and there was no movement in the dark at all. Zhuo Qing looked at Gu Yun puzzled, as if silently asking, was there truly someone there?

Gu Yun nodded her head. She had heard a strongly suppressing breathing from the corner. Pulling Zhuo Qing further away from the wooden fence, Gu Yun then approached the darkness and call out softly, “Hui Jun?”

Chapter 110: Earth Shattering Secret (Part 3)

After a few days of through investigation and the identification of the deceased personal items, the identity of the deceased was confirmed. She was a palace maid in the Imperial Palace by the name of Yi Yue. She had been missing for three days before the body was found in the well of the Eastern garden. As the Eastern garden was far off the Inner Palace, the well was rarely used and would only be use as an emergency to put out the fires in the eastern part of the Inner Palace.

Yan Hong Tian did not hand this case to the Board of Investigation thus Gu Yun also did not call upon Dan Yu Lan’s personnel, so she transferred Ge Jing Yun and Leng Xiao to her side.

Chapter 109: Earth Shattering Secret (Part 2)

A female corpse found in a well. This matter was not considered big nor small. Usually the matter would be reported to Gao Jing then it would be handed over to the Department of Investigations or the Imperial Household to investigate. When there was any conclusion then it would be reported up to the Emperor. But after Imperial Concubine Qing knew of it, her Ladyship went to personally view it and consequentially alerted the Emperor. Upon hearing that the Emperor went over, the Empress also hastily rushed over.

Next to the Eastern garden well, at one side it was a corpse that was just dredged out and it was soaked till it was white and had already started to rot. The other side of it was the most distinguished masters of the entire Imperial Palace.

Weirdly the raw source did not split the scene up when day(s) past, so I will be doing it else it would seem like everything happened in one night…

Chapter 108: Earth Shattering Secret (Part 1)

Ever since the last drunk moment, Yan Hong Tian did not go to Qing Feng Hall for half a month. Tonight when Haishi (modern timing: 9 – 11 pm) had passed, Ru Yi came over informing him that Qing Feng invite him over. Worried that something had happened to her, Yan Hong Tian quickly rushed over there. When he pushed open the door, he saw Qing Feng sitting on the swing under the tree with her ends of her dress and black hair fluttering inseparably.

Yan Hong Tian was instantly in a trance, as if he had seen the her a year before. That time she was also like this, with a smile on her lips and she sat quietly on the swing.

I imagine Fu Ling’s scene vividly like a drama… And I wanted to hug her as her heart broke…

Chapter 107: To Be With Child

Every three to five days, Fu Ling would bring Prince Han over to pay respects to her Mistress and also talk about things that happened in Yong Hua Palace. Mistress always listen quietly and occasionally looked at Prince Han but never carried him. Today, Fu Ling once again brought Prince Han over to pay his respects and only spoke less than the time to finish a cup of tea when Fu Ling felt that Qing Feng seemed preoccupied, her hand kept pressing her chest and her facial expression was not good.

Fu Ling worriedly asked, “Mistress, what is the matter?”
