Chapter 219
"Well, I... I will pay attention next time. I... I will go back to the house first."

After finishing speaking, he quickened his pace and walked in the direction of Qinfang Pavilion.

Seeing Shangguan Birou's eager back, the housekeeper's eyes flickered in thought, "Why does this Shangguan girl look so nervous... She is really frightened."

The housekeeper didn't have any doubts about Shangguan Birou, and quickly took his eyes away from her.

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Dongfang Yunlie walking in from the outside with a nervous expression on his face.

"My lord..."

"Send everyone in the palace and the imperial guards in the capital to bring Jiu'er back. Don't let any place go."

After saying these words, he walked out of the palace again, his steps were filled with anxiety and worry.

This is the second time that the imperial guards have scoured the city looking for someone, and the person they are looking for is still Princess Fengyu they were looking for last time.

The imperial guards were all over the city and searched inside and outside the city gate, but they still couldn't find Feng Qinyu's whereabouts. This time, Dongfang Yunlie was even more anxious.

There was a little more panic on the face that was always calm.

"Jiu'er, where have you been?"

Inside the palace, Dongfang Yunlie frowned solemnly, and clenched his fists under the cuffs because of the uneasiness that kept spreading from his heart.

He almost turned the entire capital upside down, why he still couldn't find Jiu'er's whereabouts.

With her body, it is impossible to go so far.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he raised his head as if thinking of something.

Once again, he rushed out of the palace and bumped into Uncle Liu who was coming back from the outside, "Wang... Wang Ye..."

"Continue to look for Feng Qinyu. I can't find it inside or outside Yuncheng, so I will look elsewhere. I must find Feng Qinyu."

After saying these words, his figure had disappeared from the butler's sight.

Yamen of the prefect of Yuncheng——

"Say, why do you want to kill someone?"

Inside the yamen and above the public hall, there were crowds of onlookers at this time, and Feng Qinyu, who was brought back to the yamen, knelt in front of the hall silently, looking quietly at Sun Boqin, the magistrate of Yuncheng, who was sitting in the hall with a solemn expression.

Sun Boqin's eyes were particularly sharp and compelling, the gavel sounded in the hall, which shocked everyone, but it only caused Feng Qinyu to raise his head slowly.

There was no trace of fear on this pale face, replaced by the usual calmness and composure.

"My lord, I did not kill the deceased."

She told the truth, even though she knew in her heart that her words were not convincing to the magistrate and the surrounding people.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Sun Boqin sneered twice as if he had heard a ridiculous lie, "Which murderer would admit that he killed someone?"

Sun Boqin's words made Feng Qinyu fall into silence again.

The current situation is very unfavorable to her. Coupled with the testimony of so many people and the preconceived ideas of the prefect, it is useless for her to argue, and it may even make things worse.

The only option she had now was to remain silent for a while.

Seeing that she was silent, but the people at the scene just accepted her acquiescing, the low voice of discussion became more and more loud.

Just listen to Sun Boqin continue to ask: "I asked you something, you can answer me honestly now."

The gavel sounded again, and Sun Boqin said, "Do you know the deceased?"
