"Your Majesty, I wonder why you summoned me here?"

Around noon, Feng Cailan, who was hungry, followed Nalan Yunzhi, who also had not had breakfast, into the imperial study.

"Aunt, I've already told you that you don't need to show great courtesy to me in private." Nalan Yunzhi stood up from the imperial desk and personally helped Feng Cailan up.

"I am deeply troubled, but etiquette cannot be abolished."

"Aunt, do you still remember the secret order I gave you before leaving Beijing?" Nalan Yunzhi sat back in front of the imperial desk and looked at Feng Cailan with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty...you want to ask about the handsome man in the Hua Mansion in Huaqiao Village who is unable to walk?" Feng Cailan's eyes flashed slightly as he pondered what to do next.

"That's right. Is he in the General's Mansion now?" Nalan Yunzhi didn't beat around the bush and asked Feng Cailan directly.

"emperor!"

Feng Cailan knelt down directly in front of Nalan Yunzhi.

"Lord Feng, what do you mean?"

Looking at Feng Cailan kneeling in front of him again, Nalan Yunzhi inexplicably felt a sense of foreboding.

"To be honest, it wasn't until I arrived at Huaqiao Village that I learned that the handsome man with the disability was actually my half-brother. So I took the initiative and brought him back to the General's Mansion."

Feng Cailan, who could not think of a solution and could not lie, had no choice but to report to Nalan Yunzhi according to Mu Lige's instructions.

"Brother? Isn't that brother?"

Nalan Yunzhi looked at Feng Cailan with his sharp eyes.

"Your Majesty, why do you say that?"

"I am thirty-two this year, and my brother Feng Lingyan would be thirty-four if he were still alive. The handsome man in the Hua Mansion who is unable to walk is only twenty-five, so he can only be the third child, and my younger brother. Moreover, my brother Feng Lingyan fell off a cliff and died sixteen years ago, so how can he be called a brother?"

Feng Cailan burst into tears, looking heartbroken.

"Really?"

"Lord Feng, do you know that deceiving the emperor is a crime punishable by death?"

Nalan Yunzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Feng Cailan with a scrutinizing look.

The Feng family is a military family with generations of loyalty. Both Feng Jingyun and Feng Cailan are upright people and do not seem like people who would lie.

It's just that when she turned into a big white cat, the man in the wheelchair she saw in the flower house looked exactly like Feng Lingyan...

Could it be that Feng Jingyun really had a romantic affair outside?

Nalan Yunzhi was also a little uncertain for a moment because of Feng Cailan's sincere feelings. In addition, the spy she planted in the general's mansion did not bring back any valuable information... (The spy had been turned against him)

“That’s enough!”

"In that case, I will return to the General's Mansion with you. I'll pay my respects to my mother-in-law and father-in-law, and also meet your half-brother..."

Nalan Yunzhi made his decision immediately. Regardless of whether the man was Feng Lingyan or not, just because he looked like Feng Lingyan, he had to have him...

"I... obey your order."

Feng Cailan had no right to refuse.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, at the General's Mansion.

"Sir, you are back?"

"Your Majesty?"

Although he felt uncomfortable about Feng Cailan's one-night stand with a prostitute, his love for her ultimately outweighed everything else. Yu Jingyang, who hadn't seen Feng Cailan return from court, waited in the front yard.

Upon hearing that Feng Cailan's carriage had arrived, Yu Jingyang immediately came out to greet her at the door. However, when he saw Nalan Yun who was traveling with Feng Cailan, he was slightly stunned.

"I am just on a private visit in disguise, so there is no need to be so polite, brother-in-law." Nalan Yunzhi stopped Yu Jingyang from bowing to her.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yu Jingyang suppressed the shock in his heart and maintained the appearance of a generous and decent general's husband.

I'm afraid the Emperor has come this time for my brother Feng Lingyan. Fortunately, the Lord has already informed him, his mother, and his father beforehand. I hope the Emperor won't use force against my brother and will simply bring him into the palace...

Five o'clock in the afternoon, in the dining hall of Qingrongyuan.

Upon hearing that the emperor was coming to the general's mansion, Feng Jingyun had asked the kitchen to prepare some extra food, and led Mulanjin to welcome him at the gate of Qingrong Courtyard.

However, until lunch at 3:00 p.m., Nalan Yunzhi still had not seen the half-brother that Feng Cailan mentioned.

"Aunt, didn't you say you had a half-brother? Where is he?" Nalan Yunzhi finally couldn't help but asked directly.

"Your Majesty, I suddenly feel a little unwell, so I'll take my leave first!" Mulan Jin looked at Feng Jingyun with a little resentment, and then left the dining hall directly.

"Father-in-law, please make yourself at your own convenience."

Nalan Yunzhi was only thinking about meeting the handsome man who was unable to walk. He was anxious to confirm whether the other party was Feng Lingyan and had no time to care about what Mulan Jin was thinking.

"I, this old minister, am ashamed, ashamed!" Feng Jingyun said awkwardly. He looked as if he had gotten into a love affair and was being looked at with disdain by his husband.

In the end, Feng Cailan had no choice but to take Nalan Yunzhi to Yueting Nanshe, next to Qingrongyuan.

"Okay, aunt, don't you have things to do? Go ahead and do them first." After arriving at the place, Nalan Yunzhi decisively sent people away.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first." Feng Cailan had no choice but to leave first.

In the early winter in the north, the afternoon sun was warm and pleasant, and Nalan Yunzhi was walking in the elegant and quiet courtyard.

When Hua Qingcheng was injured before, Nalan Yunzhi had come to Yueting Nanshe once. Now stepping into this small courtyard again, she felt both anticipation and nervousness in her heart.

"Ling Yan!"

Feng Lingyan, who was basking in the sun in the garden, suddenly heard a voice that he once knew very well coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the person coming was none other than the current emperor, the man he both loved and hated - Nalan Yunzhi.
