Lin Wanqing has already returned to the palace. She came here just to see Xiao Yanchu and, incidentally, to show her face to these generals and make her presence known as the goddess.
Having achieved her goal, she no longer wanted to stay here and watch Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin showing affection, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Fei Molong and Xiao Yanchu were drinking when a guard suddenly walked up to him in a hurry and whispered a few words.
Fei Molong's expression changed, and he looked at Xiao Yanchu with suspicion, while Xiao Yanchu remained calm.
Fei Molong was somewhat uncertain. To ensure things went smoothly, he had stayed by Xiao Yanchu's side all night, and Xiao Yanchu had indeed not left his side for even a moment.
What's going on?
He stood up and said to Xiao Yanchu, "Your Highness, I have some matters to attend to, please excuse me."
Xiao Yanchu also stood up. "It's almost time. I'll take my leave now."
Fei Molong's heart tightened. The matter was not yet clear, so how could he let Xiao Yanchu leave? He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's still early. Why don't you stay a little longer? I'll be right back. Someone, take good care of Your Highness."
Without waiting for Xiao Yanchu's reply, Fei Molong left.
Several generals, despite their reluctance, came over to toast Xiao Yanchu upon hearing Fei Molong's invitation.
Su Ruojin was still resting when she heard the door being pushed open. Huan Qing walked in and whispered, "Your Highness, Chen Fu is dead."
Su Ruojin opened her eyes and immediately stood up. "Let's go, we should go back to the palace."
When Fei Molong arrived at the room where Chen Fu and the generals were drinking, he saw Chen Fu lying on the ground covered in blood, with only two bloody holes where his eyes should have been, and he was already dead.
If that were the case, it wouldn't matter. In Feimolong's eyes, Chen Fu was somewhat useful, but frankly, he was just a dog. If he really died, he wouldn't be too sad.
What made Femoron tremble with rage was that, apart from Chen Fu, all the generals lying on the ground had their tendons in their hands and feet severed!
You should know that those who can come to the Prince's Mansion to attend the banquet today are not ordinary soldiers, but generals in the army who can at least stand on their own.
The lowest rank is a hundred-household head.
Those who drank with Chen Fu were at least commanders of a thousand households.
These people, whose tendons in their hands and feet have been severed, are essentially rendered useless.
A soldier is easy to find, but a general is hard to come by.
They were all personally trained and promoted by Femoron. There were at least a dozen people in this room, and now they're all useless.
How could Femoron not be furious?
Who did this?!
Since Xiao Yanchu has never left my sight, could it be Su Ruojin?
"What's the situation with the Regent's wife?" asked Femoron.
The servant replied, "Your Highness, the Regent's wife is very quiet. She hasn't come out since she went into her room, and there's nothing unusual about her."
How could that be!
Su Ruojin was already resting in the room she had arranged, and food had been delivered to her. Given Chen Fu's scheme, something should have happened by now.
At this moment, Femoron saw Su Ruojin being helped by her maid to the front hall in the corridor opposite this room.
Is Su Ruojin alright?
Femoron narrowed his eyes and squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Investigate for me!" He then turned and followed him back to the front hall.
Seeing Su Ruojin arrive, Xiao Yanchu stood up and helped her, "Have you rested enough?"
Su Ruojin nodded gently. "Your Highness, I think it's about time. We should go back."
