At this time, Pei Qinghan was like a decayed leaf that has lost his life. His body drifted and fell in the cold wind and then into the cold mud. His soul was still there, but his mind was dead.

When night fell, he collapsed and fell into a coma again. Then, he was sent back to the Changyuan Houfu by his servant.

The little guard at the door saw this scene clearly in the door hole, and rushed to Dongfang Wan and Dongfang Mu to report.

The family was eating dinner around the table. Dongfang Wan sipped the soup, her face remained the same as if she hadn’t heard it.

Dongfang Mu took a glance at his daughter and saw that she had a faint expression. She didn’t seem to take this matter to heart, so he settled down and said in a deep voice: “Whatever happens to him, you don’t have to report it in the future!”

When the little guard retired, the fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little cold.

Dongfang Mu picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it, and put it back on the table with a’pop’. The servant on the side immediately stepped forward to pour the wine, but he did not raise the glass again. He looked sideways at Dongfang Wan and said slowly: “Wan’er, you don’t have to think about my feelings. If you want to see that guy, you can see him.”

Dongfang Wan put down the spoon in her hand, took the cloth towel handed by the maidservant and wiped her mouth, then smiled faintly: “Father, since I said that I will divorce him, I intend to sever my relationship with him. His business will have nothing to do with me. Why should I see him again?”

“You don’t want to ask him why he did all this to you?” Dongfang Mu asked.

Dongfang Wan chuckled: “There will always be a chance to ask, but not now. After we divorce, and see each other again, then I will ask him.”

Dongfang Mu was relieved, she had already thought about it. That’s good.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat depressing, Zhao Lan hurriedly changed the subject, and asked: “How is Zhi’er? Is she now used to living in the palace?”

Dongfang Mu shook his head: “Today, because of that guy, I stayed in the mansion all day and didn’t go to the palace to ask. I’ll go to the palace to see her tomorrow morning. I’ll take her back and leave early. The emperor should agree by now.”

Zhao Lan nodded her head, but felt disappointed inside her heart. Since she came to the capital, she met a lot of people, but she felt lonely more than before.

Hu Changlin was taken to the palace by Hu Feng. Ru’er also left with her parents. Zhou Xiaofeng was also taken away by his father. Now only she and Bai Zhi was left. In this New Year, she planned to have fun this year because it was very lively here. But who would have thought that this thing will happened. And now, even her daughter’s figure was hard to see.

In Chu Palace

Chu Feng entered the Cifu Palace under the name of visiting the Empress Dowager. Just when he was about to enter the Empress Dowager’s bedroom, he was stopped by the eunuch, who was guarding the door: “Your Highness, you can’t go in right now.”

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, as his eyes turned cold. He squinted his handsome eyes and stared at the little eunuch in front of him: “What? Is there a place in this palace where this prince cannot go?”

The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed his head, then replied: “His Royal Highness, forgive this slave, this slave stay here as ordered by Doctor Bai.”

Speaking of Doctor Bai, Chu Feng immediately became interested, and so he asked, “Doctor Bai is there?”

The eunuch replied: “Answering back his Highness, Doctor Bai is giving the empress dowager an acupuncture treatment. It is really inconvenient for you to go inside right now. Please wait for a while.”

Since she was giving acupuncture treatment, he really had no reason to forcibly break in, so he nodded his head to the eunuch: “Okay, this prince will wait in the courtyard first. When they are done, you call this prince!”

The eunuch repeatedly thanked Chu Feng. He felt relieved. Fortunately, he didn’t take out his anger to him.
