Martial Boss Chapter 417

Feng Mingxiao, a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, had disappeared without a sound in the palace?

This scenario could be said to be hard to think of even if Ouyang Yan was beaten to death.

“Could it be–is it because the Eldest Princess is still in seclusion to heal her wounds?” Si Haofeng asked tentatively.

“The eldest princess is not seriously injured, it has been a month, with the healing power of the “Phoenix Heavenly Curse”, she should have recovered long ago.” Ouyang Yan immediately returned.

At that time, after Feng Ming Xiao Feng Tian Ming was injured, Meng Shan Chang of the Shan He Academy was present, and as Zhuge Long Su’s most valued disciple and lecturer, Ouyang Yan had also heard about the duo’s injuries.

Therefore, he knew that the claim that the Eldest Princess was in seclusion was completely untrue.

So, since her injuries had healed, where had Feng Mingxiao gone?

Northern Zhou was now not to say that it was in internal and external trouble, but it was almost there. The Emperor was seriously injured and the Eldest Princess, a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, was overseeing the government.

If the Eldest Princess were to disappear for no apparent reason, the dynasty would be unstable.

Therefore, if not as a last resort, Feng Mingxiao would never take the initiative to disappear.

“And ——” Feng Jiu said hesitantly, “The student also found out that Father seemed to have come to his senses, but he didn’t announce it, he only secretly ordered the forbidden army to tighten the guarding of the Hall of the Nurtured Heart and the Imperial Secret Treasury, and I don’t know why?”

The emperor has woken up, and instead of rea*suring the officials and stabilising the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he is quietly hiding in the shadows.

I have to say, this royal family is full of strange people and strange things.

These two events combined, as long as one has a bit of brain, one can detect the oddity in this.

The scene in the bedchamber suddenly fell into silence, and the three people who had originally come to Feng Jiu for an explanation found that they seemed to have fallen into an even greater fog.

Some of the recent events had been so odd that they wondered how far the Northern Zhou could go in this fog.

Despite the Battle of the Divine Capital, the arrival of the Zen Sect to preach, and the promise of the Golden Wolf Khanate in the north not to invade for ten years, the future of the Northern Zhou seems more and more uncertain.

After a moment of silence once again, Ouyang Yan said with a face full of gloom, “This matter, we must immediately inform the Dean and the Mountain Chief.”

Wu Qu and Si Haofeng also nodded their heads wordlessly.

“Feng Jiu, don’t worry, the dean and the mountain chief will certainly resolve this matter.”

Saying this, Ouyang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, “And Meng De, we will definitely rescue him as soon as possible.”

When he said this, Ouyang Yan actually did not have much courage. If he hadn’t heard that the Princess had disappeared and the Emperor had awakened but the news was kept secret, the Shanhe Academy would of course have targeted the Cang Sheng Sect with its dislike.

But after hearing these two pieces of news, Meng De’s safety would have to take a back seat. Rescuing Meng De would be difficult to carry out, at least in the short term.

After saying this, Ouyang Yan and Wu Qu Si Hao Feng left in a hurry.

The three of them were walking outside when they ran into the empress’ phoenix carriage that had hurriedly arrived. Looking at Qi Si Bo who was following the phoenix carriage, they knew why the empress had come.

The Mountain River Academy was also a major pillar of the Eighth Prince, Feng Qiwu, and if it were to give up its support for Feng Qiwu, it would be a great loss to Feng Qiwu.

“Three gentlemen, what is the reason for this haste?” The graceful and elegant Empress walked out of the phoenix carriage with the support of her maids and smiled at Ouyang Yan.

Even though she was in such a hurry, the Empress’s demeanour was as calm as possible.

If it were in the past, Ouyang Yan would never have been rude enough to leave, but now that he had heard two weighty news, Ouyang Yan was in a great hurry and must return to the academy first.

Therefore, he could only be rude.

“Greetings to the Empress,” Ouyang Yan bowed, “Your Majesty, I have important matters to report to Dean Zhuge, so please forgive me!”

Hmm ——

When she heard these words, the empress’ calm face froze for a moment, these were the words she least wanted to hear.

However, if she really had to force herself to stay, it would not be justifiable.

So, she could only let Ouyang Yan and the three of them go.

However, as they walked to Qi Si Bo’s side, Ouyang Yan was saying once again, “Your Majesty, Feng Jiu does not like having someone watching her all day, please also give him a little freedom.”

These words were subtle, but they were still not what the Empress wanted to hear. This was Ouyang Yan being vocal about the surveillance Feng Jiu was under.

The Empress felt bad, now even Ouyang Yan, who was most valued by Dean Zhuge, had a vague tendency to favour Feng Jiu.

This concubine son, who has always been unappreciated, has actually developed to the point of threatening her son Feng Qiwu without saying a word.

“In that case, it is Qi who has not acted thoroughly enough, since that is the case, this palace will change the position of the offerer and protect the ninth prince.”

Despite the reluctance in her heart, the Empress smiled as she uttered these words.

A change of offerings, in fact, I should say a change of approach, the Empress was going to change someone who was not one of her own, to provide real protection to Feng Jiu.

“In that case, I will thank Your Majesty on Feng Jiu’s behalf.” Ouyang Yan arched his hand and said.

These words, again, made the discomfort in the Empress’s heart even greater.

On behalf of Feng Jiu? Who are you to Feng Jiu, on his behalf.

Looking at Ouyang Yan’s three distant figures, the Empress had a cold aura in her eyes, ‘It seems that Feng Jiu’s vertical son has really become a climate.’

She turned around again, looked at Feng Jiu’s bedchamber which was already close at hand, and let out a cold hum.

“Return to the palace.”

The phoenix carriage, which had hurriedly arrived, began to return the same way again.

————————

“It seems that it will be difficult for you to clear your mind in the days ahead.”

After Ouyang Yan left, the voice of the second person suddenly came out from the bedchamber where only Feng Jiu’s figure remained.

Qing Yu Zhi’s figure appeared quietly beside Feng Jiu as if it were a mirror, looking at Feng Jiu’s still red eyes and smiling, “This acting skill of yours, crying so exaggeratedly, even if your father died, he wouldn’t cry so badly. Shouldn’t I feel honoured?”

After all, Meng De was Qing Yu’s incarnation, and even though it was an act, the odd implication in Qing Yu’s heart that Feng Jiu had cried so badly because Meng De had been captured was hard to describe.

“Hehe,” Feng Jiu sneered, “if my father were to die, I could laugh until I cried, I could definitely cry even more than I just did, and my eyes could be swollen with tears.”

“Tch,” Qing Yu shook his head, “Then you’re really a filial son!”

“By the way, just now outside, Ouyang Yan protested to the Empress that your future escort could be replaced with someone else. The Empress should change a real protector for you and not be watching your every move. But this does not mean that you will continue to be as peaceful in the future as you were before, the Empress, she has taken notice of you and sees you as Feng Qiwu’s greatest enemy.”

Although Feng Chaonan had been working against Feng Qiwu, he had not dug into Feng Qiwu’s roots.

Feng Jiu was different, he had now garnered a great deal of support from the Mountain River Academy and had become Feng Qiwu’s greatest threat.
