“Mistress.” Fu Ling’s voice sounded outside the screen. It was gentle and one was not able to hear any sentiment from it.

“Take care of your mistress.” Qing Feng handed the remaining half a bowl to Wu-er and walked out quickly. Exiting the chambers, she saw Fu Ling standing quietly there. Qing Feng’s heart was relieved but tiredly asked, “What is it and who was at the door?”

“It’s Lou Furen.”

“Ah?!” Qing Feng did not think that the person outside was actually her own Elder Sister.

After pausing a while, Fu Ling continued speaking, “And… Shui Xin.”

Her just relaxed heart tighten again as Qing Feng frowned, “How did they got together?”

“Shui Xin said that the Empress saw that you left sickly and was worried about it. Since Lou Furen rarely enter the Palace, she let Furen come over to accompany you.”

Could it be that Xin Yue Ning could see anything abnormal? Qing Feng palms was filled with cold sweat. If today it was Yan Hong Tian who came, she had a way of handling it. After-all this child was his flesh and blood and Chen Zhen was someone who served him for so many years. Even if she herself were to be punished, as long as the mother and child were safe, Yan Hong Tian would not do much to her. But if it was the Empress who knew about it, then it would be the biggest crisis.

Qing Feng clasped her hands and was silent for a long time. Fu Ling whispered, “They are still outside the door and Shui Xin insisted on accompanying Lou Furen to come in and see you.”

Come in? Qing Feng look towards the chambers and saw that Chen Zhen was laying on the bed more dead than alive and that small baby was so fragile that it could break with a touch. There was also three basin fully filled with b.l.o.o.d.y water and all the cloth stained with blood all over. Even the bed was filled with so much bloodstain. But if Shui Xin did not see her then Xin Yue Ning will be suspicious.

Fu Ling was very impatient but had no idea and only saw Qing Feng suddenly enter te chambers and said to the mid-wife sternly, “Don’t let him cry!”

The mid-wife quickly nodded her head, “Yes.”

“And Chen Zhen too. Don’t let her talk.” Regardless of Lin Feng and Wu-er stunned expressions, Qing Feng tell Ru Yi, “You stay here to look after things.” After that she did not look back as she walked out the house.

Fu Ling understood and followed Qing Feng out to the courtyard. Qing Feng look down at herself. Her clothes were a bit wrinkled but it was not peculiar so she walked to the tree and lay on her side on the deck chair. Qing Feng gave a look to Fu Ling before closing her eyes.

Reaching the doors, Fu Ling took a deep breath, they can only play everything by the ear. Gently opening the door, Lou Furen and Shui Xin was standing there quietly like how they were previously but Lou Furen’s eyes were filled with concern while there was a calm smile on Shui Xin face.

Both of them entered the courtyard and was surprised to see Qing Feng actually laying on the deck chair under the tree. She only open her eyes lazily when she heart movements and smiled, “Elder sister is here.”

Walking to Qing Feng’s side, Zhuo Qing squatted down and asked, “How are you?” Just now a self proclaim female official of the Empress suddenly told her that Qing Feng came down with an illness and wishes to see her which scared her. But it would seem from now that it was not as it was said and that female official still stood naturally behind her with ease as if she did not lie previously. What exactly is going on?

Zhuo Qing did not portray any look but she took the initiative to hold Qing Feng’s hands. Ice cold fingers and damp palms did not reflect Qing Feng’s portrayal of calm and leisure.

Qing Feng just say there without moving and politely replied, “What matter can there be, it was too noisy outside and I wanted some quietness so I came back to hid.”

It sound like she was acting spoilt to her Elder Sister and Qing Feng’s expression did indicated that she did not feel well but it does not seem to be anything serious. As Shui Xin was listening to both of them, she kept looking around the courtyard discreetly. Except for the sedan outside the doors, there was not much different as usual. If one were to say that anything was wrong, it would be that the Qing Feng Hall was too quiet and desolate.

Feeling that Shui Xin line of sight landed on the sedan, Qing Feng slightly got up and called, “Shui Xin.”

Shui Xin took a step forward and slightly bowed as she said softly, “Greeting her Ladys.h.i.+p, Imperial Concubine Qing.”

This Shui Xin had to be dealt with carefully as she examined her place with such unbridled and when discovered, she could still remain clam and natural. Qing Feng settled down her mind and gently said, “Bengong still want to talk to my Elder Sister, so you can go back and help Bengong to thank the Empress for her concern.”

Such an unbridled examination of her place

Shui Xin did not answer Qing Feng and deliberately looked around. She asked in concern, “Your Ladys.h.i.+p do not look that good. Why is the physician not there to diagnose and treat.”

“Imperial Physician had just look through and it was nothing serious.”

Just as Qing Feng finished speaking, there was suddenly a sound sounded from the house. It was very light, like something was knocked over. Such a small sound was actually insignificant but Zhuo Qing felt that the hands that was holding hers suddenly shook. Shui Xin’s bright eyes looked directly at the closed window as if they could see into the house.
