Chapter 30 The Death of Ah Yue
At a moment of Xu, Feng Chenghan arrived at Yiyun Palace.

Concubine Li received the news and delivered the meal when the emperor was walking to Yiyun Palace, so when Fengcheng Han came, the meal was still steaming.

"The emperor has approved the memorial for so long, so you haven't eaten yet! I have prepared some of the emperor's favorite dishes. Please use some of the emperor's favorite dishes!" Concubine Li said softly and dignifiedly.

"I've already had dinner. If Concubine Li hasn't had dinner yet, just take it yourself! Don't worry about me." There were a lot of memorials today. When he was hungry, he passed the meal directly to the imperial study.

Used it?A look of disappointment flashed in Concubine Li's eyes. She had been waiting for the emperor to come to have a meal!Unexpectedly, the emperor had already used it.Although she had not had dinner yet, if she ate alone and left the emperor alone, wouldn't it be a waste of time with the emperor?

She smiled and said: "I used a bird's nest earlier, and now I am not hungry. Since the emperor has already eaten, I will have the food removed first."

Feng Chenghan said nothing and looked at the maids in Concubine Li's palace. When the maids saw the emperor looking at them, they all lowered their heads, their ears turning red, and their hearts pounding like deer.

In the past, the emperor would never look at them. Why is he still staring at them and looking back and forth today? Could it be...

The maids of the Yiyun Palace had their hearts aflutter, and their minds began to fantasize wildly.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Concubine Li was staring at the maids in her palace. The gentle smile on her face suddenly made her unbearable and ordered her to withdraw her meal.

"Your Majesty, I haven't played chess with you for a long time. It's still early now. Do you want to play chess with me?" Concubine Li said and sat down next to Feng Chenghan.

When the emperor came to her palace in the past, the most common thing he did with her was play chess.

Feng Chenghan shook his head. He had been approving memorials all day today, and his hands were sore. How could he still think about playing chess?

Of the maids in this palace, none of them looked like the woman last night.

"By the way, where is the cat you raise?" He looked at Concubine Li and asked.The palace maid is responsible for taking care of the cat, so she should be with the cat now!

Concubine Li was startled. Why did the emperor ask her about the cat?She remembered that the emperor was very disgusted when he saw Yuan Bao for the first time.Because of this, every time the emperor came, she had Yuan Bao locked in a cage.You also need to clean it up carefully, and don't allow even a single cat hair in this palace.

"Yuanbao is in the side hall!" she said.

Today's emperor was really strange. First he stared at the maid in Yiyun Palace, and then asked about the cat.

Feng Chenghan said: "Let someone bring it over and show it to me!"

The palace maid was looking after the cat. If he wanted to see the cat, she would naturally be the one to bring it over.

"Yes." Concubine Li frowned slightly.Giving Jing Yu a wink, Jing Yu nodded and walked out.

After a while, a palace maid holding a cat followed Jing Yu into the palace.

Not her!Feng Chenghan frowned slightly. The palace maid holding the cat was obviously shorter than the woman last night.

The observant Concubine Li frowned when she saw him, and called out in a questioning tone: "Your Majesty?"

Feng Chenghan looked at the gentle and dignified Concubine Li and asked, "Do you have a maid named A Yue in your palace?"

Concubine Li's pupils shrank, alarm bells rang in her heart, but her face remained calm.The emperor's visit today was unusual. After arriving, he kept staring at the maids in her palace. Is it just to find this maid named A Yue in her palace?
"There is no maid named Ah Yue in my concubine's palace." She replied with a gentle and dignified smile, but her courage caused waves in her heart.

It has been five years since she entered the palace, and the emperor has never mentioned another woman in front of her.Now I suddenly asked about a palace daughter. Could it be that the palace maid was bold and seduced the emperor, which made the emperor look for her?
There's none?Feng Chenghan thought to himself: Could it be that he thought wrongly and that the woman was not the maid who looked after the cats in Concubine Li's palace? "What happened to the palace maid named Ah Yue?" Concubine Li tilted her head and asked.

Feng Chenghan shook his head: "Nothing."

Concubine Li smiled and said: "I am in charge of the harem. If the emperor wants to find this maid named A Yue, I can help the emperor find her."

"That's not necessary." He suddenly realized that he shouldn't ask Concubine Li rashly.

Because his question might cost Ah Yue his life.

Although he trusted Concubine Li, he was the emperor, and there were countless pairs of eyes in the palace staring at him.If his question about Concubine Li, Ah Yue, reaches the ears of other concubines in the harem, someone might find Ah Yue and take her life.

He had seen how his mother treated the maid who had been looked at by his father a few times, and he knew how terrifying the jealousy of this harem woman was.

"I remembered that there are still memorials that have not been approved, so I will leave first." After Feng Chenghan said that, he stood up and left.

Concubine Li also quickly stood up to give the gift: "Your Majesty."

She bit her lower lip tightly. As expected, the emperor came here to find the maid. Because the maid was not in her palace, the emperor left directly.

What kind of palace maid is she?The emperor was so interested that he came to Yiyun Palace specifically for her, and for her, he left behind the concubine in charge of the harem.

Concubine Li's chest was so swollen that it was about to explode.

After the emperor left the gate of Yiyun Palace, Concubine Li raised her head, looked at the direction the emperor left, and raised her fingers at Jingyu.

Jing Yu lowered his head and walked over. Concubine Li whispered a few words to her. Jing Yu nodded and left the Yiyun Palace.

After Feng Chenghan left Yiyun Palace, he asked Wang Xin to secretly search for Ah Yue. After finding A Yue, he was directly transferred to his Longxiang Palace as an errand.

An hour later, the news spread throughout the harem that the emperor was looking for a palace maid named Ah Yue.

Two days later, Wang Xin found out about the palace maid named A Yue.The maid was from Huanyi Bureau, but she drowned in Huanyi's pool one day ago.

According to the stewardess and palace maid of the Clothing Bureau, it was purely an accident that the palace maid named Ah Yue drowned.

"Unexpected, huh..." Fengcheng smiled coldly, his hands clenching into fists out of anger.

He didn't believe in any accident. He would die sooner or later. But after he asked Concubine Li about Ah Yue, she died. It was he who killed Ah Yue.

Ah Yue's righteous and heroic words rang in his ears again: "When my sister gets rich, she will protect you."

It was all his fault. He knew how scary the women in the harem were and how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, but he still asked Concubine Li.

"Examine the steward of the Clothing Bureau carefully. If she can't explain anything, she will be sentenced to death with a cane." Fengcheng said coldly.If a person died in the Huanyi Bureau, how could the grandma in charge escape her involvement?
"Yes, I will take care of it now." Wang Xin bowed his hands and retreated.

I am also curious in my heart what kind of person is Miss A Yue?What happened between the emperor and that girl Ah Yue?To make the emperor be so interested in her.
