That person was the maid Fei Wan met in the Regent's Palace. Even though he couldn't see her face, he recognized her figure.
What was she following them for?
Fei Wan suspected that Feng Jinlin had sent him, so he released the news that he would re-investigate the matter of Qi Xiu.
In fact, although she wanted to investigate, she had no clue at the moment.
Fei Wan just needs to sit back and wait for Feng Jinlin to take the bait.
However, not long after Fei Wan returned to the palace, he received a note a few days later.
That day, Feiwan was shooting arrows at the shooting range. A pigeon happened to fly by. She thought it looked a little strange, so she shot it. Unexpectedly, a piece of paper was taken out from under the pigeon's feet.
[The answer to what Your Majesty is seeking can be found tonight at midnight in the woods south of the city. Only Your Majesty can come here alone.]
"Your Majesty, you cannot go. This is very strange."
When Wutong learned about this, she refused to let Feiwan go alone.
What if it was someone else's plot and I fell into the trap? What should I do then?
Wutong bit her lip.
"If Your Majesty must go, at least not alone, then let Wutong go with Your Majesty. This servant can protect Your Majesty."
The woods south of the city?
"No, if the two of them go together, that person will definitely not show up."
Fei Wan shook his head and became interested in the contents of the note: "I have a secret guard following me, so let's go and see what that person said is true."
…
That night, Fei Wan arrived at the woods south of the city. Few people passed by here, and behind the woods was a mass grave. There were rumors that ghosts lingered there, but no one came here at night.
The wind whistled through the trees, rustling the leaves. A waning moon hung in the sky, looking extremely lonely and desolate.
Fei Wan had just entered the woods, but she didn't see the man she'd met. Instead of waiting there, she went deeper into the woods.
The crows also flew away from the branches because of Fei Wan's arrival. The further they went inside, the closer they were to the mass grave. Most people would have been scared away by this scene, but Fei Wan was the opposite.
"Host, aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts?"
The system trembled, and seeing Fei Wan so calm, it couldn't help but ask questions out of curiosity.
"Are there ghosts in this world?"
The system replied embarrassedly: "I don't know either. Maybe there is. Hasn't the host discovered it? Every world you encounter will have unexpected events that I don't understand."
How could a non-human creature be afraid of these things?
Fei Wan actually found it a little funny.
“The human heart is not only more unpredictable than ghosts, but also more terrifying.”
At this time, Fei Wan also walked to the end of the woods. There was no mass grave there, but a monument.
The stone tablet is quite old and has been weathered by wind and rain. You can see traces of being eroded and polished by the rain, but it still stands.
This stele has no name or surname, no biography, and not a single word is engraved on it. If a passerby saw it, no one would know what to do with it.
"Your Majesty has finally arrived."
A female voice came from behind, and footsteps gradually approached.
Fei Wan turned around and saw the woman coming out from the moonlight. She took off her black cloak, revealing a face that was extremely familiar to Fei Wan, and knelt in front of Fei Wan.
"I first greet your majesty."
Fei Wan was a little surprised: "It's you?"
This is the maid who has been with Feng Jinlin for many years. Fei Wan now knows her name - Chu Yan.
But...why did Chu Yan lead her here, and can the words on the note be trusted?
