Chapter 690: Chapter 689: Do You Intend to Matchmake Them?

"Fourth Brother, how could Xiaoyao possibly harm our great-grandmother the Empress Dowager? She bears no grudge against the Empress Dowager; it simply makes no sense."

Feng Jinrui had been pleading for as long as it took to drink a cup of tea, but Feng Yexuan still ignored him.

Leng Ji stood by, hastily saying, "But the Empress Dowager’s palace maid identified that it was indeed Lady Xiaoyao who injured the horse, causing the carriage to fall into the lake. And Lady Xiaoyao did watch the carriage sink into the lake without attempting to save them."

"Impossible!" Feng Jinrui didn’t want to entertain him, only staring at Feng Yexuan.

"Fourth Brother, Xiaoyao is not that kind of person, you have spent time with her too. Can’t you see what she is like?"

Finally, Feng Yexuan lifted his head and glanced at him.

"How much can you discern? Her master is Jian Wuying. That night, she saw Jian Wuying in Medicine Man Valley, yet she still kept it from me.

Feng Yexuan put down his pen.

Leng Ji immediately went over, took the completed letter that he had written, dried it, put it into an envelope, and sent it off to Yuxing.

Feng Jinrui glanced it before looking again at Feng Yexuan, "Fourth Brother, Jian Wuying is her master. It’s understandable that she would help her master."

"Then in your eyes, what would she have to do to be beyond understanding?"

Feng Yexuan snorted coldly and threw a book at him.

Feng Jinrui caught it immediately and opened it, "A military strategy book?"

"You have too much idle time. Go back and thoroughly study this military strategy book for me. In a few days, I am going to test you on it."

"Fourth Brother..."

"If you fail the test, no matter if it’s Fu Ning or Xiaoyao, I will make sure they can no longer mix in the Imperial City."

Feng Jinrui said nothing, holding the military strategy book with a heavy heart.

It seemed as though Fourth Brother was joking, yet not quite.

However, he was well aware of Fourth Brother’s temperament; he was not one to joke around.

In the end, Feng Jinrui left, escorted personally by Leng Ji.

Yuxing soon returned, bringing Ding Chen with him.

Ding Chen bowed and said, "Prince, after she left the palace, she boarded Prince Qihe’s carriage and followed him to another estate. Afterwards... she met with Prince Yuxing."

"Prince Yuxing?" Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes.

The fake Chu Qianli was now particularly interested in Medicine Men. Did she think Feng Qihe wasn’t the mastermind behind the Medicine Man Army and thus turned to Prince Yuxing?

"Prince, it was Prince Yuxing who sought her out," Ding Chen added. "I was afraid of being detected, so I didn’t follow too closely."

"She stayed at Prince Qihe’s estate for almost half an hour. As for Prince Yuxing, he just exchanged a few words and took something."

"Prince Yuxing is hosting a banquet tomorrow. The item he took is most likely an invitation," Feng Yexuan remarked as he picked up another document.

Suddenly, he remembered that imprisoned young girl.

Her ability to scrutinize documents was not inferior to his in the slightest, as if she were born with the talent for governance.

"Prince, what are you thinking?" Yuxing ventured to ask, "Do you wish to invite Lady Xiaoyao?"

Feng Yexuan cast him a glance.

Yuxing quickly lowered his head, softly saying, "If Lady Xiaoyao were here, Prince, you would be able to review the documents much faster, and it would be... more comfortable for you."

"Heh." Feng Yexuan unexpectedly didn’t get angry but chuckled instead, waving his hand dismissively.

Yuxing turned and left the room.

"You go out too. Continue watching her, see who else she has contact with, and don’t miss anyone!"

Any one of them could be related to Lili’s disappearance!

"Yes!" Ding Chen responded and promptly departed.

On his way out, he caught up to Yuxing, "Are you intent on matchmaking our Prince with that girl named Xiaoyao? Do you not know that our Prince has only the Princess in his heart?"
