Mysterious Clouds in the Palace

  The author who was chased by the male lead is injured and can't get up

  Upon hearing this, Qiao Mingying's face sank again, and just as she was about to open her mouth to rebuke him, the imperial edict from the Grand Palace arrived, summoning Qiao Mingying to attend the grand ceremony of the Hundred Dynasties' Celebration in three days.

  The so-called grand ceremony of the hundred dynasties is actually equivalent to a modern blind date gathering. At that time, all the high-ranking officials, nobles and royal relatives will gather in the palace to attend the celebration. If there are men and women who hit it off with each other and have a mutual affection, it is also very likely that they will be granted marriage by the current emperor's decree.

  Noble ladies who are usually kept in seclusion will think of ways to show off their exceptional talents in front of everyone at such celebrations, and gain recognition from the royal family, so that they can marry into royalty and become the most prominent.

  With the yellow imperial edict clutched in his hand, Qiao Mingying's eyes were cold and calm, without a hint of unusual color. However, Feng Lixi standing beside him couldn't help but feel a little restless.

  For her, this Hundred Dynasties Celebration is a rare opportunity. If Qiao Mingying is willing to take her along, she can openly and honorably enter the imperial palace to investigate.

  Thinking of this, Fengri Xi looked at Qiao Mingying with a sincere expression, thinking about how to start the conversation.

  But little did I expect

  "Do you want me to take you to the Imperial Palace?" asked Qiao Mingying, who had been silent all along, in a cold voice before Feng Lixi could speak.

  "Yes!" At first, Fengli Xi was taken aback, then nodded and acknowledged decisively.

  "Must you go?!" Jo Mingsheng slowly raised his head, leaning against the bed, and looked at Feng Lixia's stunning figure in the wind, continuing to ask in a low voice.

  "Yes! It's absolutely necessary!" Feng Li Xi nodded firmly and said with determination.

  Whether in public or private, she must go! In the dark, she always felt that something in the palace was calling her to come...

  Even if there were a mountain of knives and a sea of fire ahead of her, she would still have to go...

  "Alright! I'll do as you wish!" Qiao Mingying's deep and unfathomable phoenix eyes gazed quietly at Feng Ri Xi, after a few breaths, she slowly got up from the soft couch, walked to the window, and stood with her hands behind her back.

  Qiao Ying's prompt response left Feng Ri Xi momentarily stunned.

  She originally thought that she would have to persuade him for a while, but unexpectedly, Qiao Mingying agreed so readily.

  After a month of getting along, Feng Lixi still couldn't grasp Qiao Mingying's temperament. Although he was still cold and distant towards her, sometimes even glaring at her, she felt that his attitude towards her was gradually changing under the light of the dark god.

  He didn't, however. He easily saw through her intentions and although he still didn't have a good expression, he directly agreed to her request without asking for the reason.

  Thinking of this, Feng Li felt relieved and happy.

  Qiao Mingyue used to be very tacit with her. Even a slight glance or movement, he could guess what she meant.

  For some reason, at this moment, Feng Li felt that the figure in front of him was slowly overlapping with the person in his memory.

  It was just an instant, a sour and astringent feeling surged up in my heart.

  Just then, Qiao Mingying slowly turned around, facing the longing and painful eyes of Feng Ri.

  Qiao Mingying's eyes suddenly turned icy and sharp, and Feng Li was startled by the chill in his gaze. He quickly lowered his eyelids to avoid that cold, piercing stare.

  But little did I think

  Qiao Mingying quickly stepped forward, one hand wrapped around Feng Lixi's slender waist, the other hand grasped her chin, his face showing a hint of anger, "Feng Lixi, I'm warning you again! Don't look at others through me!"

  Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi trembled slightly in the wind, closed her eyes to adjust her emotions, and only then opened them again to meet Qiao Mingying's gaze. She said calmly, "I know! I've always known!"

  Before his words had fallen, Qiao Ming's eyes changed in an instant, and it wasn't until half a moment later that the turmoil at the bottom of his eyes was finally hidden.

  ===================================== I am the dividing line of Wen Yunbo =====================================

  Three days later

  The extremely luxurious carriage of the Marquis Hou's residence moved slowly along the crowded streets of the Imperial City. Qiao Mingying, who had not yet recovered from his illness, leaned against the soft couch in the carriage, closing his eyes to rest. Feng Ri sat on one side, lifted the curtain and looked out onto the street.

  It is indeed the most prosperous capital under heaven, with a thriving population, a rich and powerful country, and extreme prosperity.

  Those ordinary people who saw the carriage of Hou's mansion would immediately give way and kneel down to pay their respects. However, the fleeting disdain in his eyes was still caught by Fengli Xi.

  Just as he was in a state of confusion, he suddenly heard Qiao Mingying's low cough.

  He immediately put down the curtain, and Feng Li hurriedly handed a white handkerchief to Qiao Mingying, asking, "What's wrong? Is something uncomfortable again?"

  At this, Qiao Mingying lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Feng Rixi, "Nothing!"

  For some reason, every time he saw the genuine concern in Feng Ri Xi's eyes, he would inexplicably feel at ease and comforted.

  Feng Li Xi looked up and down again at Qiao Ming Ying, making sure he was really okay before putting her mind at ease.

  As the carriage entered the imperial city, the attending guards laid down a carpet and respectfully welcomed Qiao Mingying as she stepped down from the carriage.

  Feng Li Xi got off the horse-drawn carriage and followed Qiao Mingying, looking around to see that this imperial city was surrounded by high walls, majestic and magnificent. The well-trained Imperial Guards stood in a line, guarding the queue with their backs straight, powerful and extraordinary. The sharp blades of the knives and swords they carried at their waists emitted a cold glow under the sunlight.

  At this time, the place where they were was the entrance of the imperial city, and there was still a long distance from the Qingyan Palace where the banquet was held. It's just that inside the imperial city, except for the dragon sedan chair, no other sedan chairs are allowed to move freely in the imperial city, so Qiao Mingying and Feng Lixi had to get off early.

  Worried, he glanced at Qiao Mingying beside him. Feng Xidi deeply knew that with his current physical condition, it was not suitable for him to force himself to go to Qingyan Palace. If something happened to his body, it would be really not worth it.

  At this thought, Fengli Xi raised his eyes to look at Qiao Mingying, and suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, saying, "Your Excellency, for your sake, Fengli Xi cannot help but commit a crime against the entire Iron Blood Yang family!"

  After finishing speaking, Fengri Xi didn't wait for him to respond, and with a very heroic gesture, he picked up Qiao Mingying horizontally and then disappeared into the distance in a flash of white light, leaving behind the stunned gaze of his followers.

  Before Qiao Mingying could fully react, he felt himself being enveloped in a fragrant embrace. Then, faintly, he could sense the sound of wind whizzing past his ears. Before he could make out what was happening, he felt his feet touch the ground again, and in front of him stood a majestic building with a prominent sign that read "Qingyan Palace".

  In just a blink of an eye, he was actually standing at the gate of Qingyan Palace?!

  Even if he didn't know what means Feng Li used, he could bring him to the destination in a few breaths. However, Qiao Mingying also knew that the woman standing beside him was not an ordinary person.

  Just thinking about how she had just carried him in her arms like a woman made him uncontrollably furious.

  But seeing her face not red, breathing not short, holding him as if holding a small chicken, freely and easily, even more made his face as a man lose all dignity!

  Just thinking about it, the scene of him being carried horizontally in her arms by that little girl was seen by those slaves, wouldn't his lifelong reputation be ruined in an instant? Would this Marquis still want to mix with others?!

  What kind of physique does this woman have to achieve this?!

  "Xili! You owe me an explanation!" As he thought of this, Qiao Mingying's face sank again.

  Just as Fengri was about to explain, Jingya Princess suddenly rushed out of Qingyan Palace like a flying bird and dashed into Qiao Mingying's arms, refusing to come out again.

  Seeing the annoying Jingya princess refusing to let go of herself, Qiao Mingying's handsome face became even more gloomy. It was feared that in the next second, he would be unable to bear it and push the delicate person in his arms away.

  Seeing this, Feng Li Xi covered her mouth with a "tsk" and stood by with a helpless expression, serving as a background prop.

  ……

  …………

  Qingyan Palace is located in the northeast corner of the Imperial City, consisting of four interconnected but differently styled courtyards. Due to the monks' five senses being more sensitive than ordinary people, even standing outside the gate, one can clearly hear the extraordinary noise coming from inside. It's likely that many high-ranking officials and royal relatives have already arrived.

  She gathered all the protective spiritual energy surrounding her body, and with a humble expression, she followed Jiao Mingying at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, always keeping her head down under the unkind gaze of Princess Jingya.

  Due to Feng Lixue's stunning appearance, as soon as she entered Qingyan Palace, the surrounding officials and nobles who were still bustling about suddenly stopped their movements, their eyes fixed intently on Feng Lixue, not leaving her for even half a moment.

  Always keeping a low profile and walking quietly, Feng Li Xi naturally didn't notice the abnormality at this moment. She still followed closely behind Qiao Mingying with her mind preoccupied. However, seeing those men one by one gazing at the woman behind them with infatuated eyes, Qiao Mingying's eyebrows unconsciously furrowed tighter and tighter.

  He suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and pulled Feng Rixi into his arms, gritting his teeth and saying, "I didn't expect you to be a magnet for trouble! Honestly stay by my side, don't leave for even half a moment!"

  Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi blinked her eyes in confusion, unable to understand why he always had a volatile temper.

  He just wanted her to do something, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she subconsciously nodded and agreed to what could be considered a somewhat arbitrary request.

  Seeing the wind in Xi's quick response, Qiao Mingying finally let go of her and nodded satisfactorily.

  With the guidance of the female attendants in the palace, Qiao Mingying quickly walked to his own wine table. Qin Meng said that he saw him swing his robe and sit elegantly on the seat. As a personal maid, Feng Lixi could only stand behind him with a bitter fate.

  Before long, the neat and orderly palace maids had brought out dish after dish of delicious fruits and vegetables, fine dishes and good wine.

  Qiao Mingying glanced at the exquisite dishes on the table and handed a bowl of fresh vegetables and fruits to Feng Lixi.

  This time, with Qiao Mingying's simple action, Fengri Xi once again became the focus of the entire banquet. Among them, there were not a few jealous and speculative glances, especially the angry gaze of Princess Jingya was the most eye-catching.

  He twitched the corner of his mouth, and Fengri Xi decided to ignore Jingya Princess's provocation. He calmly took over the fruit platter and started enjoying it without any courtesy. Although these fruits were not comparable to the spiritual fruits of Zhuyin Realm, they were still considered top-notch in the mortal world. They tasted sweet and fragrant when entering his mouth, with a pleasant texture.

  As she was eating the fruit in the wind, she had carefully cast out a thread of divine consciousness, which was carefully observing the situation of the royal relatives who had already taken their seats.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, those imperial relatives who frequently enter and exit the palace, like the imperial physicians, all have a clear deficiency of "vital energy" in their bodies, their "soul" dull and without luster, with hints of collapse at any moment. In contrast, the high-ranking officials who often move about outside the palace are much better off.

  Upon seeing this, Fengliu didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He immediately set up a transparent boundary and then took out the small white Ha Da Zi from his storage ring, who was sleeping soundly everywhere.

  The silly Bai, with a drowsy face, looked at Fengli Xi. Compared to before, the stupid meat on Bai's body was growing more and more. Fengli Xi raised an eyebrow, already unable to bear looking again.

  She just twitched her lip corner, simply instructed a few words, and then kicked Xiao Bai out of the boundary with one kick, letting it go to the palace to explore.

  She rubbed the sore spot on her plump and tender buttocks, although Xiao Bai was full of grievances, she also knew that at this critical moment, it was more important to focus on the task at hand.

  Thinking of this, Xiaobai transformed into a plump and round groundhog, with a short and curly tail that had a comical pink bow tied on it.

  The next moment, Xiaobai, who had undergone a "great transformation", suddenly slipped into the ground and disappeared...

  Fengli Xi continued to nibble carelessly on the vegetables and fruits in his hand, tasting nothing, until he saw Gong E bring wine to Qiao Mingying, at which point his eyebrows twitched slightly.

  As soon as Palace Maiden handed the royal wine to Qiao Mingying, Fengli Xi immediately dropped the fruit plate in her hand, took a step forward and took over the wine cup. Then, she quietly used her spiritual power to purify the wine in the cup into ordinary tea water before handing it back to Qiao Mingying.

  Qiao Mingying saw Fengri Xigu's strange movements, but didn't ask anything, just raised an eyebrow and took the cup handed over by her and drank it all in one gulp.

  Only when the tea water entered his throat did Qiao Mingying realize that something was wrong.

  Just outside the door, he had already seen Feng Lixi's past. At this moment, Qiao Mingying was able to remain calm. He glanced at Feng Lixi calmly and put down his cup, waiting for her explanation.

  It was as if Feng Lixue knew the doubts in Qiao Mingying's heart, and without opening his mouth, he used the transmission technique to imprint what he wanted to say into Qiao Mingying's mind. "Your current physical condition is not suitable for drinking! However, this wine was bestowed by the Emperor, and not drinking it would only lead to criticism, so I had no choice but to resort to this trick!"

  The woman in front of her, who was exceptionally beautiful and unparalleled, had not spoken a word, yet her soft and gentle voice clearly echoed in her ears. Although Qiao Mingying didn't understand, she also knew that what she heard was not an illusion.

  Upon hearing this, Qiao Mingying also did not express any opinion, and simply handed the empty cup back to Feng Lixi.

  Wenri Xi immediately understood Qiao Mingying's meaning. He took the imperial wine from Gong'e's hand and personally poured a special "beautiful wine" for Qiao Mingying!

  On this side, Qiao Mingying was drinking the imperial wine in a daze. On that side, Xiaobai, who had been patrolling for a long time, returned with important news about the latest chapter of Shen Tan.

  Holding the little white dog in his hand, Feng Li Xi lowered his head and whispered a sentence into Ge Ming's ear, "Master Hou, while the banquet has not officially started yet, I want to... go to the restroom first!"

  Although he felt that the words in the wind were somewhat rough, Qiao Mingying did not stop her either, and after waving his hand, he let her leave.

  Having received the order, Fengli Xi finally carried Xiao Bai and walked out of Qingyan Palace.

  Arriving at a desolate and uninhabited place, Feng Xue finally put down Xiao Bai, released some of his divine sense, and transmitted his voice to ask, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate?"

  Xiaobai rolled her eyes and replied honestly, "I've checked! It seems that there's nothing suspicious about everything, except for one place that's a bit unusual!"

  "Where?" Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi involuntarily furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

  "Ancestor's temple!" Little Bai's sharp and delicate voice was very charming.

  "Ancestral temple?!" Whispered to himself in doubt and confusion amidst the wind.

  The ancestral temple is a place where the ancestors of the imperial family have been worshipped for generations. What's wrong with that?!

  Mixed with puzzlement, Feng Xiyi released more divine consciousness into the wind, probing the distant temple in the west.

  It's strange, after searching around, but from the appearance, there doesn't seem to be anything out of place in the temple!

  "The problem with the ancestral temple is not on the surface, but inside!" As if knowing Fengli's question, Xiaobai shook his plump white body, and patted Fengli's small leg with a paw, saying sincerely, "Fengli, you'll know once you go see it yourself!"

  Deeply knowing that Xiao Bai wouldn't lie, Feng Li Xi nodded slightly and immediately hugged Xiao Bai's round body to warm himself up, then suddenly disappeared in a flash of light towards the direction of the ancestral temple...

  ===================================== I am the dividing line of Wen Yun Da Ren =====================================

  But in just a few breaths, Fengli came to the westernmost corner of the imperial palace.

  Here, the main hall of the ancestral temple is called the Holy Temple, carved from Dali Yunmu wood. At a glance, the 39 niches in the temple enshrine the plaques and portraits of dozens of kings and queens who have passed away over the generations. The huge Dali stone platform in front of the temple presents a solemn atmosphere.

  Feng Li Xi put down Xiao Bai and carefully swept his divine sense over every corner of the ancestral temple, but he didn't find any problems.

  Just as he was about to ask Xiao Bai, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

  Blinking her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things, Feng Rui Xi only then discovered that the first ruler of the temple was actually a beautiful and intelligent woman!

  As a woman, becoming the heir of a country is not an impossible thing, and Fengli Xi doesn't think it's strange.

  Her shock was not because the woman had been elected as the crown prince of a country, but because beside that woman, on the position where the Phoenix Empress (male empress) should be waiting, hung a portrait of an extremely handsome man.

  That absolutely beautiful and dustless man had a face and temperament that was exactly the same as Huī Yuè Wǔ Yún's, and on the plaque in front of the portrait were clearly written the six large characters "Huī Yuè Wǔ Yún Shèng Zūn".

  The author has something to say: I didn't say anything wrong, did I?! The master appeared as a bird, although the way he appeared was a bit strange~~~~

  Sometimes I want to make a strong bird~~~
