"Everyone said that it was Caihua who did it. I've been investigating for many years, but I only found out recently that Caihua had died in place of your mother. The person who was burned to ashes was not your mother, but Caihua! The real culprit is someone else! "
"Wanyan Lie?"
Feng Cang asked. Feng Xie nodded, "That's right! It's him! Besides, your mother is not dead. Wanyan Lie has hidden her in the underground palace under the Eternal Autumn Palace! "
Feng Xie's words were like thunder, causing Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi to be stunned.
"Isn't mother-in-law already …" Feng Cang could not believe it. He did not expect Feng Xie, whom everyone thought was dead, to still be alive, and Wanyan Mingyue, whom everyone thought had committed suicide, to be hidden in the palace. What kind of secret was this? What exactly happened?
"She's still alive, but … she's like a zombie, in a deep sleep. I don't know what she's been through!" Feng Xie's eyes became moist again when he heard Feng Cang mention Wanyan Mingyue.
"I originally wanted to avenge your mother before coming back to tell you the truth. However, a few days ago, I found out that Mingyue is still alive. I'm not a doctor, so I don't know why Mingyue is like this. I can't think of a solution. I can only come to you! Feng Cang, Jin Mo is an expert in medicine. I would like to invite him to the palace to visit your mother and see what's wrong with her. Can he save her? "
Feng Xie's words surprised Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi, but at the same time, they were overjoyed. So Wanyan Mingyue was still alive! If that was the case, wouldn't Murong Qiqi's family be reunited?
"Father, I know some medicine too. Why don't I go with you? I might be able to help!" Murong Qiqi was very curious about the woman who had given her life. She had never been loved by her parents in her past life, so it was a blessing for her to have them in this life.
"Sure!" Feng Xie nodded. No matter what, this was an opportunity that he could not give up.
The three of them chatted for a long time. Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi finally learned what had happened in the past from Feng Xie.
It turned out that Feng Xie's army of 200,000 men had defeated the Beizhou army at Mount Yandang, and victory was right before their eyes.
But then, for some reason, there was a problem with the army's diet. Everyone got dysentery and had diarrhea. Now that he thought about it, someone must have poisoned the well water, which was why the soldiers were feeling unwell.
At that time, it was summer vacation. It was a hot day, and it was also the time when dysentery was rampant. The small dysentery caused the combat effectiveness of the army to plummet. At this time, someone opened the city gate at night, and the army of Xiqi Kingdom directly rushed in.
Feng Xie had originally planned to leave with Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Cang, but he didn't expect that their food would also be poisoned. Not long after they left the city, they were surrounded and attacked. Even if the Eagle Riders were able to fight against a hundred enemies, they were still no match for their enemies after being poisoned.
After Feng Xie was stabbed, he fainted. When he woke up, the person lying beside him was his loyal and devoted coachman. He had risked his life to save Feng Xie, but he himself had died. When Feng Xie rushed back, Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Cang were nowhere to be found …
"I thought about it for a long time. Who could have poisoned the well water? No matter how I thought about it, I could only think of one person. It was the minister that Wanyan Lie had sent to reward the army, Li Jun. Everything happened after he arrived. What he represented was Wanyan Lie's will. Wanyan Lie was determined to destroy me! "
"But, why would Wanyan Lie do this? Isn't he your good friend? Isn't he mother's brother? " Murong Qiqi couldn't understand Wanyan Lie's thoughts. Everyone knew that Wanyan Lie doted on his sister, Wanyan Mingyue, the most. Why would he treat Feng Xie and his family in such a manner?
"Hmph!" Feng Xie felt disgusted at the thought of Wanyan Lie's despicable actions and his ugly intentions. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. "There can only be one reason why he would do this …"
Feng Xie really didn't want to say these words out loud. A dignified ruler of a country had a crush on his own sister. Moreover, he had disregarded the interests of the country and his brotherly friendship. A person like him was too hateful!
Seeing that Feng Xie had remained silent for so long, Murong Qiqi grew anxious. "Father, why would he do this? Tell me!"
Feng Xie looked at Murong Qiqi, then at Feng Cang, and sighed. They would find out the truth sooner or later. This matter wasn't his or Wanyan Mingyue's fault so there was no need to help Wanyan Lie hide the truth.
"The attire in the Eternal Autumn Palace is exactly the same as your mother's bedchamber. Furthermore, according to the little palace maid saved by the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Consort Yue who used to live in the Eternal Autumn Palace looks very similar to your mother …"
"Crack —" Murong Qiqi was shocked. If that was the case, then Wanyan Lie was a sis-con!
What Murong Qiqi could think of, Feng Cang could also think of. This explained why every Imperial Consort in the Eternal Autumn Palace was so mysterious, never attending any palace banquets, and always wore a veil when they came out. It turned out that Wanyan Lie had such filthy thoughts!
For a moment, the atmosphere became heavy. An emperor with a sis-con would betray the interests of the country for his own benefit. This was unbelievable.
"Father, when are we going to see Mother?" Murong Qiqi felt angry and disgusted when she thought about how Wanyan Mingyue was still in the Eternal Autumn Palace and how Wanyan Lie had humiliated her.
How could there be such a pervert! To do such a thing for the sake of his sister, this was intolerable!
"The sooner the better. I really want to know what happened to Mingyue. Why don't we do it tonight?"
The three of them made up their minds. That night, Feng Cang summoned Jin Mo and together with Feng Xie and Murong Qiqi, the four of them entered the palace.
The Eternal Autumn Palace was unusually quiet. There was no wind and the palace maids and eunuchs were already asleep. The four of them entered the palace and followed Feng Xie for a while before they finally saw the woman on the warm jade bed.
"It's really Mother!" Feng Cang looked at Wanyan Mingyue in disbelief. "Mother, I'm Feng Cang. Mother, wake up!"
"It's useless!" Feng Xie pulled Feng Cang back and shook his head. "Let Jin Mo examine her first!"
