The maid who stood on the side replied, “You fainted, so I, your maid, have brought you back. Miss Azurite has examined you and assured us that there was nothing to worry about. However, you still need to rest.”

Feng Tianlan gently acknowledged this, got off the bed, and went into the room next door. When she pushed open the door and saw Feng Shu still carrying her pillow, holding on to the amulet and repeatedly muttering about Dai’er, she found herself touched by the love of her mother and her heart softened.

Because she had a mother, she could still be just like a teenager, freely behaving like a spoiled baby. She was filled with happiness.

Feng Tianlan accompanied Feng Shu into the room, telling her about everything that had happened since she was young, choosing to leave out the negative parts of her life. Even though Feng Shu did not show any reaction, Feng Tianlan continued to speak with enthusiasm. She felt like she had returned to old times when she would often look for her mother just to chat with her.

“Miss, the Empress has sent someone to pass a message. She wants you to go to the palace to see her,” Azurite knocked on the door and informed her softly.

Feng Tianlan raised her eyes slightly. “Give this reply, ask her to come and see me herself.”

Azurite answered “yes”, then backed away.

Feng Tianlan acted as if nothing happened and continued to talk to Feng Shu. She looked just like a shy little girl. “Mother, I have found the one for me. His name is Si Mobai and he is the master of the Bailan Alliance. Isn’t Dai’er great, I’ve found such a capable husband. He is so naughty, even though he has yet to marry me, he is already addressing you as his Mother-in-law…”

Feng Shu held the amulet in her hands and looked at the pillow blankly with her head lowered. Her empty gaze flickered once in a while at Feng Tianlan’s words as if she understood some of what was said. However, she would lift up her head to listen attentively only when Feng Tianlan talked about her childhood days.

When Feng Wu heard the reply conveyed to her by the maid, she instantly became so angry that she threw the memorial at her. Her face also turned red with anger. “Feng Tianlan!”

What an arrogant woman who thought so highly of herself! Just the day before, she had forced her to kneel down to pay respects to her, and now today, she even outrightly rejected her summons and also asked her to go see her instead?

Who did Feng Tianlan think she was, and how dare she be so arrogant? She really overestimated herself!

“Let General Zuo go and find out what Feng Tianlan is doing at the Lady Phoenix Shrine. Moreover, I hear that she is looking for someone called Luo Yunzhu. Send some people to search the entire Tianfeng Nation for her whereabouts,” Feng Wu instructed with a dark and sullen face.

There was no need to investigate what had happened to Feng Tianlan previously as Feng Yunsheng had already handed over all the relevant information, including the fact that she was Shen Qingdai, Feng Shu’s daughter.

Upon thinking about Feng Yunsheng’s actions, Feng Wu laughed coldly. “I thought she was rather clean and innocent, but who knew that she would become so scheming not long after leaving. It seems that she really doesn’t want to disguise herself anymore.”

After receiving the order, General Zuo made a trip to the Lady Phoenix Shrine personally. However, he could not enter the main hall. When he asked the maids, they did not reveal any useful information. He could only return dejectedly to inform the Empress, “Your Majesty, the Lady Phoenix Shrine is heavily guarded and the people there are tight-lipped. I could not get any information.”

“Useless things!” Feng Wu flared up again. She lifted up her hand to throw the memorial at him.

General Zuo did not dodge but let the memorial hit his head, causing a bruise to form. “Your Majesty is right.”

When she saw how General Zuo responded, Feng Wu’s mood became better. “Let me ask you, when did the Prime Minister get to know Feng Tianlan? Did anything happen during your journey?”

Ji You had been protecting Feng Tianlan. Although his gaze did not look very different, she did not know why, but she felt that it was a little strange.
