Meanwhile, Zuo Qingluan —
She was completely baffled.
For the first time in her life, her head was completely blank.
The blow was so hard that she didn’t know how to react.
How could it be Feng Wu?
“Luan?” Mrs, Zuo rushed to her side and embraced her, fearing that she might pass out.
Zuo Qingluan slowly came back to her senses, and her eyes refocused.
She was shocked by the looks the others gave her.
She panicked.
She had never panicked after she destroyed Feng Wu’s True Phoenix Blood, but now, she was panic-stricken.
No! She was Zuo Qingluan!
She was the sacred lady of Firmament Palace and the only one with True Phoenix Blood! She shouldn’t panic!
She regained her posture and looked perfectly calm again.
Mrs. Zuo was still grumbling, “Who’s doing it? Who? Someone must be setting off these fireworks under the guise of His Royal Highness’s name! That’s right! Someone is setting His Royal Highness up!
“Jun Linyuan the sovereign descends to the world’? His Royal Highness is still the crown prince; that line is so provoking! Are they trying to turn His Majesty against His Royal Highness?
“And what is ‘Feng Wu the phoenix soars above the land’ supposed to mean? Luan is the one His…”
“Mother, be careful with your choice of words.”
Zuo Qingluan wanted to tell Mrs. Zuo to shut up, but she thought that wasn’t the words a future empress would use, so she toned it down a little.
Mrs. Zuo was very scared of Zuo Qingluan.
Hearing that, she immediately shut up.
However, she didn’t know what she had done wrong.
Zuo Qingluan looked at Dugu Menghai, the eldest son of the Dugu family.
Dugu Menghai was the vice-captain of the imperial guards who worked under Qin Yan, the captain who was always by the emperor’s side.
“I’s okay to celebrate Feng Wu’s birthday, but someone is pretending to be the crown prince and incriminating him for treason. I can’t overlook it. Brother Menghai, please look into it now.”
“Of course. I’ll be on my way.” Dugu Menghai immediately went to carry out that order.
Mrs. Tao studied Zuo Qingluan.
How clever. She immediately concluded that someone was working against His Royal Highness. Not only did she save herself from the embarrassment, she blamed Feng Wu as well.
However, when she recalled what Feng Wu had done in the Gu family, she felt that Feng Wu was still the smarter one.
Many people depended on the Zuo family, so in a moment like this, they jumped out to defend the family.
“Miss Qingluan is right! Someone must be doing it on purpose!”
“Of all the girls out there, they have to mention Feng Wu’s name. I’m sure she’s involved!”
“Does Feng Wu still hold a grudge against Miss Qingluan for what happened back then, so she’s using this opportunity to disgust her?”
“What happened back then?”
“Don’t you know? Five years ago, two people had the True Phoenix Blood. One was Miss Qingluan and the other one was Feng Wu, but Feng Wu destroyed her own blood and became useless. She must hate Miss Qingluan after that!”
“So true! Feng Wu must be involved! We have to get to the bottom of it!”
