Chapter 329

The Empress finally got some form of satisfaction from the incident. When Lin Feilu followed Xiao Lan to greet her, the Empress was clearly in a good mood, evident from her ruddy complexion.

Lin Feilu couldn't determine if she was happy or sad. Instead, she just felt that the people who served at the Imperial Ancestral Hall were innocent as they became the unfortunate victims caught up in this battle for succession.

When Lin Feilu was in the Empress's Palace, she met Si Miaoran, who came to greet the Empress as well. The Crown Princess now loved the Fifth Princess very much. After she came out of Changchun Palace, she took her to the Eastern Palace. She said that she had the Imperial Kitchen make her favourite meat-filled snacks and wanted Lin Feilu to try the new recipes with her.

It was almost evening when Lin Feilu left the Eastern Palace. When she returned to the Mingyue Palace with a bloated stomach, she saw a bunch of little rabbits running around in the courtyard at a glance.

There were six in total.

Lin Feilu was stunned for a moment before she asked Qingyan, "Why are there three more?"

Qingyan smiled and said, "In the afternoon, His Highness King Qi returned the three little rabbits that the Princess had sent him."

Lin Feilu felt that her mind actually exploded for a brief moment.

For no reason at all, she felt a deep surge of unease in her heart.

She asked anxiously, "When the Eldest Imperial Brother came in the afternoon, was there anything odd? Did he leave any words behind?"

Qingyan thought for a while, "His Highness King Qi still behaved as usual. He was very gentle and didn't say anything. He just sat by the flower field with Chang Er for a long time before leaving."

Lin Feilu turned her head and ran.

Qingyan chased her and asked anxiously, "Princess, what is going on? What happened?"

Lin Feilu couldn't bother to answer.

She felt that all the Qinggong she had learned over the years were finally used to the extreme as she dashed all the way to the Imperial Hospital. At this time, the imperial doctors who did not live in the palace were about to get off work. As soon as she ran to the door, she met Meng Fuji who was chatting and laughing with his colleagues.

Lin Feilu rushed in and demanded without waiting for him to speak, "Take your men and follow me! Hurry!"

Meng Fuji was stunned for a moment but he didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly walked out with her.

When Lin Feilu and Meng Fuji arrived at the Royal Qi Residence, the cool afterglow of the setting sun was shrouding the mansion.

Lin Feilu hurriedly said, "You knock on the door and I'll climb over the wall". Then, she went in directly from the towering courtyard wall. On the way here, the Fifth Princess had briefly spoken that His Highness King Qi might have planned to commit suicide. Upon hearing such a statement, Meng Fuji didn't waste any more time and banged his fist onto the gates.

Soon, a servant came to open the gates and looked at the young man outside the door with a puzzled expression, "Who are you?"

Meng Fuji pushed him away and walked inside, "I am the imperial doctor in the palace and I heard that something happened to His Highness King Qi. Where is he? Take me there!"

The little servant was stunned as he trailed along and said strangely, "Is something wrong with His Highness? But... but His Highness just came back from the Palace just now. After eating, he said that he was a little sleepy and just went to rest."

That being said, upon seeing Meng Fuji's fiery appearance while he was carrying the medicine box on his back, the servant still hurriedly took him to Lin Ting's courtyard.
