"What do you mean?" Imperial Consort Li sensed that something was amiss, she asked Qin Feng cautiously.

Qin Feng did not say a word as she stood there respectfully with her head lowered, waiting for the show to start.

"I think Feng'er is praising you, little sister Imperial Consort Li. Didn't little sister hear it? Or do you want me to repeat it for you?" At the corner, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes with a golden hairpin of nine phoenixes walked out. If it wasn't the empress, who else could it be?

"S-empress! Chenqie didn't mean that! This concubine has no words to say at the moment, I beg empress to forgive me! " Imperial Consort Li was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat and quickly kneeled down to beg for mercy.

The empress merely snorted heavily, not bothering with the Imperial Consort Li, she walked towards the seat of honor and sat down. Beside the empress, there was not a palace maid attending to her, but a handsome man.

This handsome man was none other than the Second Prince, Xuanyuan Mocheng.

Imperial Consort Li's heart was in a mess right now. What she had just said was a great disrespect to the empress, she was in charge of six palaces, and she could use this to punish herself for her crimes.

"Empress, empress, chenqie really didn't mean to say that. It's all because of Fourth Prince's concubine …"

"How dare you!" The Queen rebuked angrily as the tea cup was swung down by the golden armor. Fragments of the tea cup flew all over the place and Imperial Consort Li screamed softly in fear.

"Could it be that you want to tell me that everything you said just now was something that Qin Feng forced you to say?" The empress was naturally furious, but this was not her usual style. It could be said that the empress was very glad to hear what the Imperial Consort Li had to say.

The Imperial Consort Li was doted on by the Emperor previously, and only the empress could take this opportunity to suppress her after the last incident. However, time could kill everything, and now that the opportunity had come again, the empress wouldn't miss out on this godsend opportunity.

Imperial Consort Li was extremely vexed, how could she have been carried away by the little girl Qin Feng. This was obviously a trap set up by her, if not why would the empress coincidentally come to her palace and hear her words?

Imperial Consort Li trembled, and said unhappily: "empress is furious, chenqie knows that her words are lost, but does empress not want to know why chenqie said those words?"

"That's right, Esteemed Empress, although the Imperial Consort Li is rude, there must be a reason behind it. Why don't we listen to it for a bit, and then let the Esteemed Empress have her way?" Second Prince who had been standing beside empress the entire time said those words respectfully.

Qin Feng couldn't help but look towards Second Prince, and in her heart, she didn't know why Second Prince would cause this trouble. Second Prince raised his head, coincidentally met Qin Feng's gaze, and smiled gently.

Qin Feng lowered her eyebrows, and thought deeply. Although the empress was on bad terms with the Imperial Consort Li, that did not mean the Queen would look at him in a new light.

"Since my son has said it, then Imperial Consort Li, I hope that your reasoning can make you speak so arrogantly!" The empress moved gently and intertwined, sitting straight and waiting for the Imperial Consort Li to explain. To be honest, this kind of feeling of superiority made the Empress feel very comfortable.

Imperial Consort Li immediately put on a pitiful face and kowtowed to the Queen, saying, "Thank you empress's host. This morning, chenqie returned from the empress Palace and suddenly discovered that the jade bead golden hairpin that was on her hair had mysteriously disappeared …"

"Is this the hairpin that the Emperor bestowed upon you last year?" empress interrupted his narration and asked.

The Imperial Consort Li nodded, and continued, "It's precisely because it was the Emperor who bestowed this task to me, that chenqie is burning with anxiety.

"Then the Imperial Consort Li suspects that someone stole the Chai Zi?"

"That's right. Thus, chenqie went through everyone she came in contact with today. I was able to search every single person I could, but in the end, I didn't manage to find anything. That's why …"

"So you suspect that it was the Fourth Prince's doing that stole your hairpin?" The Queen pointed to Qin Feng and asked.

Imperial Consort Li kowtowed once again, "Your consort doesn't dare to jump to the wrong conclusion, so I ask Fourth Prince's Concubine to come here. If Fourth Prince's Concubine doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with changing her clothes, then why not? However, for some reason, the Fourth Prince Concubine would rather run into his concubine than change her clothes.

"Qin Feng, what do you think about this matter?" The Queen raised her eyes and looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng walked in front of him and kneeled down: "Shouchuan, Qin Feng doesn't think she is a petty thief. Not to mention that I am now the legal and proper prince's consort within the Phantom Fire Kingdom, even in the past, I was the eldest miss of the General's Estate. "Besides, if no one tells me, I won't even know that this is a royal gift from the king, the jade golden hairpin …"

With that, Qin Feng took out a silver jadeite golden hairpin from his hair, held it up high with both hands and lowered her head to speak to the Queen: "Speaking of disrespectful words, although the jadeite golden hairpin is expensive, but I have the Emperor's gift for me, I really can't think of why Qin Feng would want to steal the Imperial Consort Li's jadeite gold hairpin."

The jadeite golden hairpin was one of the many rewards given by the Emperor when Qin Feng and Fourth Prince were married. Because there were too many things, no one was able to find out clearly.

"Hurry up, the wind. If you have anything else to say, sit down and talk." The Queen took the hairpin from Qin Feng's hands and gently put it back on Qin Feng's hair.

"Thank you, empress." Qin Feng got up and sat down.

The empress nodded at Qin Feng, then turned her head to look at Imperial Consort Li, and coldly asked, "Does Imperial Consort Li still have anything else to say?"

Imperial Consort Li sighed in her heart, helplessly shook her head and said: "It was chenqie who worried too much, I beg empress to forgive me."

"You were careless, first of all, you lost the imperial golden hairpin, then of course you suspected the Fourth Prince Consort of being behind you. Furthermore, you had no respect and respect for me, regardless of whether you were young or old, you tried to bully me.

"Chenqie, accept your punishment."

"Thank you empress for upholding justice for Qin Feng."

After exiting the Imperial Consort Li Palace, the Empress immediately returned to her own palace and was escorted out by the Second Prince.

On the bluestone floor, Qin Feng walked at a neither a hurry nor a slow pace. Even though she already knew that there were too many troubles in the palace, she never thought that she would encounter something like this on her first day in the palace.

Even though Imperial Consort Li was punished today, and had finally extinguished his arrogance, Imperial Consort Li would definitely not let it go. After all, she would not be able to stop it for long, and she had already planned for a counterattack.

"Fourth Sister-in-Law? Fourth Sister-in-Law?" The Second Prince shouted a few times, and then, he called Qin Feng back to reality.

Qin Feng, who had regained her senses, felt lucky and asked: "I wonder what business does Your Highness have with me?"

"Haha, what can this prince do? I wonder what Fourth Sister-in-Law was thinking just now that she was so engrossed in it?" Second Prince smiled like the spring wind, his gaze as gentle as water.

Qin Feng shook her head, then nodded and said: "Actually I didn't think of anything else, but I was thinking about why everything was so coincidental. First, Fourth Prince was summoned by the emperor, then the palace maids of Imperial Consort Li appeared.

"The Fourth Sister-in-Law is truly meticulous. The coincidence within it can actually arouse your suspicion." The Second Prince praised.

Qin Feng shook her head and said: "It's not that I'm being too meticulous, it's just that it's too coincidental. If it's just a coincidence, then forget it, when these few things come together, it's definitely not a coincidence, but a person."

"Oh, could it be the Imperial Consort Li? If you pull away the Fourth Emperor's brother, then you'll just happen to be alone and helpless. " The Second Prince guessed.

Qin Feng looked at the Second Prince, laughed lightly, and expressed her own thoughts: "If the later empress did not arrive, I would have thought that it was done by the Imperial Consort Li, but obviously that is not the case. Firstly, the Fourth Prince was summoned by the Emperor, and the Imperial Consort Li does not have that kind of ability to move the Emperor, secondly, what is the purpose of the empress coming to the Imperial Consort Li Palace? Until we came out of the empress, empress didn't seem to say anything. Moreover, if it was a sister who was walking around, why didn't she notify us? All of this is too deliberate, and people can't help but think about it too much. "

"But why all this? If it wasn't done by the Imperial Consort Li, then who was it? The sudden appearance of the empress removed all your suspicions. Although the Imperial Consort Li was punished, it is still a small punishment. Second Prince asked, clearly confused.

Qin Feng was also feeling suspicious, could it be that she was overthinking things? If there really was someone doing it on purpose, then what was their goal? Moreover, this kind of scheme isn't considered small. If we incite the Imperial Consort Li, have the Emperor summon the Fourth Prince and arrange for the Empress to step in, then what would happen in the end? Qin Feng didn't know.

"I don't know. Perhaps all of this is just my imagination." Qin Feng said to the Second Prince.

The Second Prince shrugged his shoulders and said to Qin Feng: "This palace is truly full of schemes and scheming. I, Wu Yu, am truly a cunning person, and you have just entered the Imperial Family, so you have many things to take note of. If you are not careful, the consequences will be dire."

"Thank you Second Prince for your advice. Qin Feng only wishes to live a peaceful life. "Hai." Qin Feng sighed. On the surface, he looked worried, but he also caused others to feel pity for him.

"Fourth Sister-in-law need not worry, I think Fourth Sister-in-law will definitely be able to protect you. Oh right, yesterday your Grand Wedding, I was unable to go because of official business, this bracelet originally wanted to personally send it to your house, but I didn't expect to see Fourth Sister-in-law today, I gift it here, I hope you do not mind." Second Prince took out a rosewood box from his sleeve and handed it over to Qin Feng.

In the end, Qin Feng opened it and saw that it was an emerald green color.

Thank you Second Prince, it is getting late, the carriage is still waiting outside the palace, Qin Feng will be leaving first. Qin Feng kept the wooden box and bid farewell to Second Prince.

In the carriage, Qin Feng expressionlessly looked at the jade bracelet, and a disdainful smile appeared on her face. Qin Feng lifted the curtain and happened to be on the moat bridge. She used a handkerchief to wrap the bracelet and with a flick of her wrist, the moat began to splash water.
